Arrest in embryo development during in vitro culture has been reported in various mammals. Although some cause of the arrest have been suggested, little is known of the way that can overcome the arrest using in vitro culture system. The antioxidant, $\beta$-mercaptoethanol($\beta$-ME), has been shown to play an important role in embryo development. This study was designed to examine the effect of $\beta$-ME on the developing boving embryos produced in vitro by IVM and IVF. To select a, pp.opriate concentration of $\beta$-ME during whole culture period (7 days), various concentrations (10, 50 and 100$\mu$M) of $\beta$-ME were added to the CZB medium and their effects was significantly higher in 100$\mu$M of $\beta$-ME. The effects on development of embryos cultured with and without somatic cells to blastocyst stage were greater in FCS treatment (56.6 and 29.3%) than in BSA treatment(25.5 and 12.8%). We also evaluated the effects of $\beta$-ME addition on the blastocyst formation when embryos at different stages were exposed to 100$\mu$M $\beta$-ME. $\beta$-ME promoted increased development of embryo to blastocyst stage and the effect was greater in 6-cell to morula embryos than in embryos fewer than 4-cells at the initiation of treatment. The results suggested that $\beta$-ME can improve bovine embryo development by overcoming the arrest in early development.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of co-culture for the development rate to morula /blastocyst stages of early porcine embryos, derived from oocytes matured and fertilized in vitro, with porcine endometrial cell monolayers(PEM) in the two different media, respectively. The rates of embryos developed to 2-, 4-, 8~16-cell and morula /blastocyst stage were 49.6, 40.5, 28.2 and 15.3% in Ham's F-10 with PEM, and 55.3, 45.9, 32.7, and 17.6% in TCM-HEPES with PEM, respectively. The above development rates to morula /blastocyst stages were significantly higher than those of the embryos cultured in the Ham's F-10 and TGM-HEPES without PEM(P<0.05). The in vitro development rates to the morula /blastocyst stage of 1-cell embryos cultured in Ham's F-10 and TCM-HEPES without PEM were 0~1.2%. Especially, most of embryos were observed to arrest the development beyond 4-cell stages. As shown in the above results, the co-culture of in vitro produced porcine embryos with PEM in the two different media enhanced the development of fertilized eggs to morula /blastocyst stages in vitro. However, we didn't find out any differences for the in vitro development to morula /blastocyst stages between Ham's F-10 and TcM-HEPES media.

It has been well known that beta-adrenoceptor is responsible for the renin release stimulatory and alpha-adrenoceptor may be inhibitory. It has been observed accidently that alpha-adrenergic agonist can inhibit renin release by just changing the medium temperature in Vitro experiment in this laboratory. A series of experiments were performed to clarify this interesting phenomena in Vitro experiment. Rat renal slices were incubated in PSS medium under gas phase at $37^{\circ}C$. The following results were observed. 1) Isoproterenol and norepinephrine resulted in renin release stimulatory in dose-dependent by the concentrations of $10^{-9}$ to $10^{-5}\;M/L$ at $37^{\circ}C$. 2) Norepinephrine resulted in renin release inhibitory in dose dependent by the concentrations of $10^{-7}$ to $10^{-5}\;M/L$, and almost no effect by isoproterenol $10^{-6}\;M/L$ at $20^{\circ}C$. 3) Phenoxybenzamine pretreatment at $37^{\circ}C$ accentuated isoproterenol stimulatory effect at $37^{\circ}C$. 4) Phenoxybenzamine pretreatment at $20^{\circ}C$ attenuated isoproterenol stimulatory effect at $37^{\circ}C$. These data suggest that the renal adrenoceptor(s) related to renin release maybe a single entity, and can be interconverted different forms in certain conditions.

The protective effect of omija methanol extract on benzo(a)pyrene induce liver injury was studied in rats in vitro and in vivo. In vitro experiment, primary cultured hepatocytes(5${\times}$105cells/$m\ell$) were cultured for 20∼24 hours after adding omija methanol extract(5.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) and B(a)P(50$\mu\textrm{m}$) in culture medium. In vivo experiment, omija methanol extract(0.1g/kg/day, per os) was administered for 7days and B(a)P(0.1mg/kg body weight, intraperitoneally) was given to the rats after the last administration of extract. Omija methanol extract significantly recovered serum enzyme activities(AST, ALT and LDH) and lipid contents(total cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol) changed by benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) to normal levels in vivo. In vitro experiment, as a result of 3-(4, 5-dimethlythiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay, omija methanol extract showed a little hepatotoxicity compared with group I (normal) but significantly recovered enzyme activities(AST, ALT and LDH) changed by B(a)P in comparison to group IIadministered B(a)P only. It was suggested that omija methanol extract has a protective effect on liver injury induced by B(a)P.

Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of time intervals between collecting and use of cattle faeces as a source of micro-organisms in in vitro digestibility assays of forages. The results suggested that temperature conservation capacity by faeces depended on the size of the sample. There was no significant difference(p>0.05) between the first (T1 or 08:30 h) and second using time (T2 or 10:30 h). In vitro organic matter digestibility was significantly lower when faeces was used 5 h (T3 or 13:30 h) after collection. However, the organic matter digestibility determined at the second using time (T2) and third using time (T3) were highly correlated ($R^2=0.99$) with the first using time. It was concluded that faeces can be used as a source of microorganisms for in vitro digestibility assays of forages even 5 h after being voided.

In vitro studies were undertaken to develop an appropriate fibrolytic enzymes cocktail comprising of cellulase, xylanase and ${\beta}$-D-glucanase for maize stover with an aim to increase its nutrient utilization in sheep. Cellulase and xylanase added individually to ground maize stover at an increasing dose rates (0, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,600, 3,200, 6,400, 12,800, 25,600, 32,000, 38,400, and 44,800 IU/g DM), increased (p<0.01) the in vitro dry matter digestibility and in vitro sugar release. The doses selected for studying the combination effect of enzymes were 6,400 to 32,000 IU/g of cellulase and 12,800 to 44,800 IU/g of xylanase. At cellulase concentration of 6,400 IU/g, IVDMD % was higher (p<0.01) at higher xylanase doses (25,600 to 44,800 IU/g). While at cellulase doses (12,800 to 32,000 IU/g), IVDMD % was higher at lower xylanase doses (12,800 and 25,600 IU/g) compared to higher xylanase doses (32,000 to 44,800 IU/g). At cellulase concentration of the 6,400 to 32,000 IU/g, the amount of sugar released increased (p<0.01) with increasing levels of xylanase concentrations except for the concentration of 44,800 IU/g. No effect of ${\beta}$-D-glucanase (100 to 300 IU/g) was observed at lower cellulase-xylanase dose (cellulase-xylanase 12,800 to 12,800 IU/g). Based on the IVDMD, the enzyme combination cellulase-xylanase 12,800 to 12,800 IU/g was selected to study its effect on feed intake and rumen fermentation pattern, conducted on 12 rams (6 to 8 months; $20.34{\pm}2.369$ kg body weight) fed 50% maize stover based TMR. The total volatile fatty acids (p<0.01) and ammonia-N concentration was higher in enzyme supplemented group, while no effect was observed on dry matter intake, ruminal pH and total nitrogen concentration.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of conventional insemination (in vitro fertilization [IVF]) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) on the fertilization, developmental competence, implantation potential, and clinical pregnancy rate of embryos derived from in vitro matured oocytes of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: A prospective study was carried out among 38 PCOS patients who had undergone In vitro maturation (IVM) treatment. In total, 828 immature oocytes were collected from 42 cycles and randomly assigned for insemination by IVF (416 oocytes) or ICSI (412 oocytes). After fertilization, the embryos were cultured until the blastocyst stage and single embryos were transferred after endometrial preparation and under ultrasound guidance. Results: No significant differences were found in the maturation rate (78.1% vs. 72.6% for IVF and ICSI insemination, respectively; p= 0.076), fertilization rate (59.4% vs. 66.9% for IVF and ICSI insemination, respectively; p= 0.063), or the formation of good-quality blastocysts (40.9% vs. 46.5% for IVF and ICSI insemination, respectively; p= 0.314). Implantation and clinical pregnancy also did not show significant differences. Conclusion: There was a comparable yield of in vitro matured oocytes derived from PCOS patients in terms of fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation rate, and clinical pregnancy between IVF and ICSI insemination. These findings provide valuable insights for choosing assisted reproductive treatment in women with PCOS, as IVM offers promising outcomes and is less invasive and less costly.
