The aim of this study was to examine more effective cryoprotectant for the cryopreservation of mouse preantral follicles. Enzymetically isolated preantral follicles from 12-day-old mice were cryopreserved by a slow freezing protocol with 1.5 M propanediol (PROH), dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) or glycerol (GLY) and then grown and matured in vitro for 11 days after thawing. The survival of preantral follicles immediately after freezing and thawing was not different among the PROH (68.2%), DMSO (72.4%) and GLY (72.1%). After grown and matured in vitro, the rates of survival and metaphase II oocytes were 54.9% and 36.6% for PROH which was significantly higher rates (p<0.05) compared with the rates obtained from DMSO (16.9% and 9.0%) and GLY (16.3% and 7.5%). The diameter of metaphase II oocytes from pre antral follicles frozen in PROH ($67.4{\pm}1.8\;{\mu}m$) was significantly (p<0.05) smaller than that of the fresh preantral follicles ($69.1{\pm}2.3\;{\mu}m$). The results from the present study revealed that PROH is more suitable cryoprotectant for the cryopreservation of mouse preantral follicles.

Background : This study was conducted to determine out the effect of storage temperature on the quality of fresh ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) during distribution. Methods and Results : Fresh ginseng was washed, packed in $30{\mu}m$ low density polyethylene (LDPE) film, then stored at 0, -2 and $-4^{\circ}C$. After 4 weeks of storage, ginseng was then stored at $5^{\circ}C$, as a simulation of the distribution process. Ginseng stored at $-4^{\circ}C$ showed higher respiration rate, ethylene production and electrolyte conductivity during the distribution phase than those stored at 0 and $-2^{\circ}C$. Decay and browning rate rapidly increased following 3 weeks of distribution in samples stored $-4^{\circ}C$. However ginseng stored $-2^{\circ}C$, which is below freezing point, for 4 weeks did not show the physiological change or quality deterioration. Ginsenoside contents decreased during storage for all plant, but did not differ significantly between storage temperatures. Conclusions : Storage at temperatures below $-2^{\circ}C$ can negatively affect respiratory characteristics and electrolyte leakage and increase quality deterioration and decay rates during distribution.

In previous studies, we reported that sow which was transferred OPS-freezing embryos not able to deliver a piglet (Kim et al, 2004). This study was conducted to investigate a possibility of gilt as recipients which produce piglets after transfer of OPS-freezing embryos. All transferred embryos were prepared by in vitro production (IVP) system. In vitro culture (IVC) medium used glucose-free NCSU23 supplemented with 5mM sodium pyruvate, 0.5 mM sodium lactate and 4 mg/ml bovine serum albumin for 2 days at $39^{\circ}C$. From day 3 of IVC, 10% fetal bovine serum albumin was added to the culture medium. In preparing of freezing embryos, embryos were treated with 7.5 $\mu g/ml$ cytochalasin-B for 30 min and centrifuged at $13,000{\times}g$ for 13 min. And then, embryos were exposed sequentially to an ethylene glycol (EG) solution, aspirated into open pulled straw (OPS), and plunged or thawed into the liquid nitrogen. In embryo transfer (ET), we used two kinds of type (surgical method vs. non-surgical method). In surgical method of embryo transfer, $55\sim65$ embryo were transferred in both uterine horn of two recipient gilts by plastic straw. Non-surgical method which is like artificial insemination was performed on three gilts. Each 140 frozen embryos were transferred to two gilts and 40 fresh embryos to one gilt. Pregnancy establishment was shown one recipient at 45 days after ET. However, the one recipient was also aborted at 58 days after ET. These results suggest that gilts can be considered as a candidate of recipients for OPS-freezing embryo transfer.

Quick freezing of bovine embryos was attempted after they were predehydrated at room temperature. Combined solutions of 2M glycerol or 2M ethylene glycol in the presence of either 0.5 or 1.0M sucrose in phosphated buffered saline+20% calf serum were compared. The quick freezing method in which embryos were directly transferred in liquid nitrogen vapor for 2 minutes at - l70$^{\circ}C$ before being plunged into liquid nitrogen was used. Post-thaw survival rates in 2M glycerol and 2M ethylene glycol were high with 0.5 M (55.6% and 53.3%) versus 1.0M(38.1% and 31.6%) sucrose(P < 0.05). But survival rates with 2M glycerol and 2M ethylene glycol were not significantly different. Transfer thawed embryos frozen with 2M glycerol and 2M ethylene glycol by 0.5M sucrose resulted in birthrates of 40.9% and 40.0%, respectively compared to 26.3% and 27.2%, respectively, for 1.0 M sucrose(p<0.05). This was 56.0% for fresh control.

When fresh concrete is exposed to low temperature, the concrete may suffer frost damage due to freezing at early ages and strength development may be delayed. One of the solution methods to resolve these problems is to lower freezing temperature of concrete by the use of chemical admixture called Accelerators for Freeze Protection. In this study, it was the results of appling cold weather concrete using Accelerator for Freeze Protection in the Daewoo Trump world field. Before the application of the cold weather concrete using accelerator for freeze protection, we executed the some test in the laboratory and mock-up test in the field. We examined the manifestation of compressive strength complying with the amount of Accelerators for Freeze Protection and curing conditions, and then made a selection of most suitable amount of Accelerators for Freeze Protection.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of growing stages of the Korean Native Striped Bull (KNSB) on the freezability and fertility of frozen-thawed semen. First, we investigated the total motility (TM) and progressive motility (PM) according to the diluent used for semen freezing. Second, we examined the effect of the age of KNSB on semen volume, TM and PM of fresh and frozen-thawed semen. Third, we examined the effect of frozen semen from the different age of KNSB on the $in-vitro$ fertilization rate, and the artificial insemination pregnancy rate. The diluents used in this experiment were Triladyl$^{(R)}$ and Tris-egg yolk extender (EYE). Semen was collected from 5 KNSB in the growing stage (15 months) and 5 adult KNSB (36 months). When Triladyl or Tris-EYE extender was used for semen freezing, there was no difference of the mean TM and the mean PM. However, the mean TM was significantly higher in Bull No. 1885 than Bull No. 4283 ($p$ <0.05). The mean volume of semen collected from the 15-month-old bulls (2.3 ml) was significantly lower ($p$ <0.05) than that from the 36-month-old bulls (5.0 ml). The mean semen concentration was similar for the 15-month-old ($2.1{\times}10^9$ spermatozoa/ml) and 36-month-old ($1.8{\times}10^9$ spermatozoa/ml) bulls. For the 15-month-old and 36-month-old bulls, the mean TM of fresh semen were 93.7% and 88.3%, respectively, and the mean PM were 97.0% and 88.3%, respectively; the 15-month-old bulls showed a particularly high PM ($p$ <0.05). For the 15-month-old and 36-month-old bulls, the mean TM (56.0% and 58.0%, respectively) and the mean PM (64.0% and 70.7%, respectively) of frozen-thawed semen did not differ. The development rates of embryos after $in-vitro$ fertilization and the pregnancy rate after artificial insemination using frozen-thawed semen did not differ according to the bull's age. In summary, semen volume differed according to the bull's age, but semen concentration and survival rate, the $in-vitro$ fertilization rate, and the pregnancy rate did not differ according to the stripe bull's age. Accordingly, semen from bulls in the growing stage can be collected and frozen for the preservation and multiplication of rare livestock.

The purpose of this research was to evaluate on the properties of fresh and hardened high-performance concrete(HPC) incorporating high-reactivity metakaolin(HRM). Setting time, heat of hydration, compressive strength, resistance to chloride-ion penetration, and repeated freezing and thawing test were carried out in order to investigate the properties of fresh and hardened state concrete. The properties of the HRM concrete were also compared with those of the portland cement concrete and silica fume(SF) concrete. The laboratory test results indicate that HRM material can be used as a supplementary cementitious material to produce high-performance concrete.

국매리복은 근육의 독성이 약독이라고 알려져 왔다. 하지만 국내에서 국매리복의 섭식이 많은데도 불구하고 아직 식중독 사고가 발생하지 않았는데, 이는 근육의 독성이 이제까지 알려진 것과 다를 가능성을 시사한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 선어와 냉동어에서 근육의 독성 (유독개체출현율, 최고독성 및 평균독성)을 조사하였으며, 그 결과 선어의 근육은 무독이었지만 냉동어의 근육은 약독이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다 냉동한 국매리복의 근육이 약독인 것은 냉동과 해동과 같은 물리적인 처리로 인해 생긴 것임을 강하게 보여주며, 아울러 앞으로 복어류의 독성을 조사할 경우에는 냉동어뿐 아니라 선어도 조사해야 할 것이다.
