냉동보존이 진주조개(Pincata fucata martensii) 유생의 형태 및 구조에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 냉동전후 D형 및 각정기 유생을 광학 및 전자현미경으로 조사하였다. 동해방지제는 0.2 M sucrose를 첨가한 2.0 M $Me_2SO$를 사용하였다. 냉동후 유생은 일부 패각이 손상되긴 했지만 hinge와 prodissoconch가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 소포체, 지질 과립, 미토콘드리아, 핵 등을 포함한 세포내 소기관들이 고르게 분포되어 있었다. 또한, 섬모가 규칙적으로 배열되어 있었고, 섬모 아래 미토콘드리아와 지질과립이 위치해 있는 것이 관찰되었으나, 일부 해동된 유생에서 섬모의 불규칙적인 배열과 섬모환이 둥글게 뭉쳐져 있는 모습이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 진주조개의 D형 유생과 각정기 유생이 냉동에 쉽게 영향을 받을 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 냉동보존 시 세포의 손상을 감소시킬 수 있는 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the embryonic development ability and the appearance of blastocysts of bovine in vitro fertilized oocytes cultured in different culture media, and also to evaluate survival rate after thawing of frozen embryos by using 1.5 or 1.8M ethylene glycol(EG) with sucrose or trehalose. Fertilized oocytes were divided into three groups; i ) monolayer of cumulus /granulosa cell prepared by TGM 199+5% calf serum(TGM199), ii)GRlaa+5% CS, iii)SOF+5% CS, and they were cultured after insemination for 9 days, at 39˚C, under 5% $CO_2$ in air, but SOF+5% CS was cultured at 39˚C, under 5% 02, 5% GO2, 99% N2. Blastocysts derived from GRlaa + 5% CS on day 7~8 after insemination were frozen by using 1.5M EG or 1.8M EG with/without 0.2M sucrose or O.1M trehalose. The development rate of blastocysts on day 7 after insemination in SOF+5% CS was significant higher than in TCM199 or CR1aa(P<0.05). The appearance rate of blastocysts on day 7-8 after insemination was higher than in TCM199, when fertilized oocytes were cultured in GRlas or SOF. The survival rate of frozen blastocysts after thawing tended to increase, when blastocysts were frozen by using 1.8M EG with 0.2M sucrose or O.1M trehalose. These results indicated that SOF or CRlaa media with amino acids was superior to TCM199 with monolayer in terms of blastocyst development in culturing of in vitro fertilized bovine nocytes, and sucrose or trehalose was supposed to prevent embryos from the freezing shock.

Factors Affecting the Survival of Frozen Thawed Bovine In Vitro Produced Blastocysts. The effect of some factors on the post-thaw survival of a total of 240 in vitro produced bovine blastocysts was investigated using logistic regression analysis. The explanatory variables tested were: type of culture medium before freezing (TCM 199 supplemented with BSA, BSAITS (BSA+insulin+transferrin+selenium), ECS (estrous cow serum) with or without BOEC (bovine oviductal epithelial cells), age of the blastocyst (Day 7, Day 8+9), morphological appearance before freezing (distinct=Q1 or indistinct=Q2 inner cell mass) and type of cryoprotectant (glycerol, 1.0 M or ethylene glycol, 1.6 M). The survival after thawing based on the post-thaw quality and the development after co-culture with BOEC for 24 and 48 hours. Day 7 blastocysts had an almost three times better chance of survival than Day 8+9 blastocysts. Q1, Day 8+9 blastocysts had higher odds to survive after 48 hours in culture than Q2 blastocysts (p<0.05). Blastocysts produced in BSAITS medium had the best chances of survival; however, the odds were not always significant. Blastocysts frozen in glycerol had a better post-thaw quality rating than those frozen in ethylene glycol; however, the difference in post-thaw development at culture was not significant. The relationship between post-thaw quality and post-thaw development at culture was significant (p<0.05). The developmental stage and/or age of the embryo and culture medium where development up to blastocyst takes place affect the post-thaw survival of the bovine embryos.

The surge in online seafood consumption has increased parcel delivery, leading to a need to implement effective preservation methods. As the cold chain system is not fully established in Korea, styrofoam boxes and cold packs are commonly used for low-temperature seafood distribution. The impact of cold packs on product preservation depends on the number utilized. Herein, the freshness of vacuum-packed frozen fish fillets (Paralichthys olivaceus and Scomber japonicus) stored at 25±0.5℃ for up to 84 h was measured. Chemical (pH and volatile base nitrogen), microbiological (viable cell count), and physical (odor intensity) properties were assessed using 2 or 4 cold packs in a styrofoam box. Four cold packs yielded lower values, indicating superior freshness, and extended fish freshness by approximately 12 h compared with two cold packs. Therefore, it is recommended to use a minimum of 4 cold packs (-350 g/cold pack) in a styrofoam box for distributing approximately 300 g of frozen fish fillets at room temperature during the summer, considering an average delivery period of 2 days in Korea.

Objective: Recently, microdissection of tissue sections has been used increasingly for the isolation of morphologically identified homogeneous cell populations, thus overcoming the obstacle of tissue complexity for the analysis cell-specific expression of macromolecules. The aim of the present study was to establish the minimal conditions required for the RNA extraction and amplification from the cells captured by the laser captured microdissection. Methods : Mouse ovaries were fixed and cut into serial sections (7 im thickness). Oocytes were captured by laser captured microdissection (LCM) method by using PixCell $II^{TM}$ system. The frozen sections were fixed in 70% ethanol and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, while the paraffin sections were stained with Multiple stain. Sections were dehydrated in graded alcohols followed by xylene and air-dried for 20 min prior to LCM. All reactions were performed in ribonuclease free solutions to prevent RNA degradation. After LCM, total RNA extraction from the captured oocytes was performed using the guanidinium isothiocyanate (GITC) solution, and subsequently evaluated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Results: With the frozen sections, detection of the GAPDH mRNA expression in the number of captured 25 oocytes were not repeatable, but the expression was always detectable from 50 oocytes. With 25 oocytes, at least 27 PCR cycles were required, whereas with 50 oocytes, 21 cycles were enough to detect GA PDH expression. Amount of the primary cDNA required for RT-PCR was reduced down to at least 0.25 $\grave{i}$ l with 50 oocytes, thus the resting 19.75 il cDNA can be used for the testing other interested gene expression. Tissue-to-slide, tissue-to-tissue forces were very high in the paraffin sections, thus the greater number of cell procurement was required than the frozen sections. Conclusion: We have described a method for analyzing gene expression at the RNA level with the homogeneously microdissected cells from the small amount of tissues with complexity. We found that LCM coupled with RT-PCR could detect housekeeping gene expression in 50 oocytes captured. This technique can be easily applied for the study of gene expression with the small amount of tissues.

Intraoperative cytologic examination of intracranial tumors using crush preparation provides useful information in operative decision making. The diminutive nature of many biopsy specimens, particularly those obtained by stereotactic neurosurgical procedures emphasizes the importance of combining the cytologic smear method with conventional frozen section interpretation. The great advantage of the cytologic smear method resides in its suitability for the study of minute fragments of tissue, allowing retention of the majority of the specimen for optimal processing. We present the cytologic features of 3 cases of intracranial germ cell tumors(2 germinomas and 1 endodermal sinus tumor), using crush preparation during intraoperative diagnosis and compare them with histologic findings. The cytologic features of the germ cell tumors were similar to those of the respective gonadal counterparts. The cytologic differential diagnosis of both types of germ cell tumors is described.
