Vitrification methods are convenient for cryopreserving plant specimens, as the specimens are plunged directly into liquid nitrogen (LN) from ambient temperatures. However, tissues and species with poor survival are still not uncommon. The development of vitrification solutions with high survival that cover a range of materials is important. We attempted to develop new vitrification solutions using bromegrass cells and found that VSL, comprising 20% (w/v) glycerol, 30% (w/v) ethylene glycol, 5% (w/v) sucrose, 10% (w/v) DMSO and 10 mM $CaCl_2$, gave the highest survival following cryopreservation, as determined by fluorescein diacetate staining. However, the cryopreserved cells showed little regrowth, for unknown reasons. To check its applicability, VSL was used to cryopreserve gentian axillary buds and the performance was compared with those of conventional vitrification solutions. Excised gentian stem segments with axillary buds (shoot apices) were two-step precultured with sucrose to induce osmotic tolerance prior to cryopreservation. Gentian axillary buds cryopreserved using VSL following the appropriate preculturing approach exhibited 78% survival (determined by the regrowth capacity), which was comparable to PVS2 and PVS1 and far better than PVS3. VSL had a wider optimal incubation time (20-45 min) than PVS2 and was more suitable for cryopreserving gentian buds. The optimal duration of the first step of the preculture was 7-11 days, and preculturing with sucrose and glucose gave a much higher survival than fructose and maltose. VSL was able to vitrify during cooling to LN temperatures, as glass transition and devitrification points were detected in the warming profiles from differential scanning calorimetry. VSL and its derivative, VSL+, seem to have the potential to be good alternatives to PVS2 for the cryopreservation of some materials, as exemplified by gentian buds.

중$\cdot$저준위 방사성폐기물의 유리화 기술은 체적감소비, 유리고화체의 기계적 및 화학적 안전성 등으로 그 유용성이 입증되어 현재 울진 5,6호기에 상용시설의 건설이 추진되고 있다. 유리화시설은 대상폐기물의 높은 방사능 준위로 인해 방사선 안전 설계를 위해서는 차폐해석이 수반되어야 한다. 그러나 국내에서는 유리화 시설의 건설 및 운영 경험이 없으므로, 본 연구에서는 유리화 시설의 향후 상세 설계와 운영계획에 도움을 줄 수 있는 자료를 얻고자 유리화 실증시설의 구조를 따라 기존의 방사선원항을 이용하여 기기별 선량계산을 통해 방사선 차폐 해석을 수행하였다. 차폐체로서는 경제성과 열저항성이 뛰어난 콘크리트를 고려하였다.

가압경수로 원전의 농축폐액건조설비에서 발생된 농축폐액 건조물을 유리화 하는 방안이 연구되어 왔다. 중저준위 방사성폐기물을 유리화할 경우 최종 생성물은 내구성이 우수하고 현저한 부피저감 효과의 장점을 가지고 있다. 붕산농축폐액에 대한 유리화 타당성 연구는 분말시료의 전처리 방법 개발, 유리조성 프로그램을 이용한 유리개발 및 실증시험으로 수행되었다. 분말시료에 대한 전처리 방안으로는 유리화설비에 투입하기 전에 고형성을 갖도록 펠렛화하는 것이다. 농축폐액 성분중 Na와 B의 함량 분포는 유리속에 용융되는 정도와 설비로부터의 폐기물 배출 처리에 영향을 주기 때문에 이를 고려하여 유리조성이 개발되어야 한다. 실증시험에서는 폐기물 투입률, 배기체 특성 및 최종 생성물인 유리고화체의 특성이 검토되었다. 본 연구는 붕산농축폐액에 대한 유리고화체의 물리화학적 특성을 검토하고 유리화 타당성을 확인하는데 목적이 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of developmental stage and equilibration time on survival of rabbit embryos following freezing by vitrification. Adult New Zealand White female rabbits were superovulated with PMSG and hCG. The 8-cell stage embryos were collected from 40 to 45 hours after hCG injection by flushing oviducts with Dulbecco's phosphated buffered saline and in vitro cultured in TCM-199 containing 10% fetal calf serum(FCS). Each embryos developed in vitro to 16-cell, compact morula and blastocyst was cryopreserved and cultured following thawing to examine their developmental potential to expanded blastocyst stage in vitro. The frozen-thawed-cultured embryos were stained with Hoechst 33342, and their nuclei were counted using a fluorescence microscope. On the toxicity test of EFS solution as cryopreservation, the survival rates of 8-cell stage embryos was decreased in reverse to increasing of exposure time over 5 minutes. The post-thaw survival rates of embryos on equilibration times was significantly(P<0.05) higher for 2 min. than for 5 or 10 minutes. From morula to blastocyst of rabbit embryos was more suitable than 8-cell stage for cryopreservation by vitrification. The higher post-thaw survival rate of embryos can be achieved by keeping the cryoprotectant at $4^{\circ}C$ than at $20^{\circ}C$. The mean number of nuclei per embryo following freezing by vitrification and in vitro culture to expanded blastocyst at compacted morula and blastcyst was not significantly differ from fresh blastocyst.

Cryopreservation has been broadly used as an efficient method for a long-term conservation for many types of plants especially vegetatively propagated plants. Among several cryopreservation methods, a droplet-vitrification was the most widely applicable and efficient method. Studies have developed protocols for strawberry using droplet-vitrification method and suggested the practical use of the protocol for large number of germplasm with a little modification. In this study, the droplet vitrification method of shoot tip has been tested on 31 accessions provided around the world. Shoot tips were precultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with 0.3~0.5M sucrose. Precultured explants were osmoprotected with loading solution, 35% of PVS3 (C4, 17.5% glycerol and 17.5% sucrose) for 40 min and exposed to dehydration solution, PVS3 (B1, 50% glycerol and 50% sucrose) for 60 min. Then, the explants were transferred onto droplets containing 2.5 uL PVS3 on sterilized aluminum foils prior to direct immersion in liquid nitrogen (LN) for 1hr. The cryopreserved shoot tips were rapidly warmed in a water bath at 40C and then unloaded in MS with 0.8M sucrose for 40 min. The shoot tips were cultured in NH₄NO₃-free MS post culture medium for 2 weeks. Subsequently, the explants were moved to the MS medium for 6 weeks and evaluated the regrowth rate. By this droplet-vitrification protocol, twenty-four accessions showed at least 40% regrowth rate. Out of 24 accessions, 'Nonsan1ho' had the highest regeneration rate of 85.8% and 'Jumbo pureberry' had the lowest with 42.1%.

In this study, cryopreservation by droplet-vitrification was applied to pear (Pyrus spp.) germplasm. We focused on the development and assessment of various strategies for the selection of suitable tissue, osmoprotection, and dehydration. We also evaluated post-thaw recovery of cryopreserved explants by droplet-vitrification. Preferentially, we tested the effects of preculture and loading treatments to determine which tissues were more suitable, either the apical shoot tips or the axillary buds. Apical shoot tips showed the better regrowth rate than in vitro axillary buds. The most effective techniques for cryopreservation were as follows. Shoots from in vitro seedlings which had been cultured for about 5-6 weeks were cold-hardened at 4℃ for one week, excised shoot tips were precultured on liquid MS medium including 0.3 M sucrose for 31 hours and 0.7 M sucrose for 17 hours, osmoprotected in loading solution (LS) for 40 min, and then cryoprotected in dehydration solution (PVS3) for 90 min. In addition, we found that regrowth rates of explants on regrowth medium after exposure to liquid nitrogen (LN) were higher than those on MS medium. Results indicated that the highest regrowth percentage was 95.6% for 'Bartlett' cultivar and 68.9% for 'BaeYun No.3' cultivar. Consequently, apical shoot tips of two pear cultivars, 'Bartlett' (P. communis) and 'BaeYun No.3' (P. pyrifolia), were successfully cryopreserved by droplet-vitrification. Results of this study show that the enhanced droplet-vitrification method described in the present study could be used as an effective means for long-term storage of pear genetic resources.

본 연구는 체외생산된 배반포기배의 vitrification 을 위한 용기로서 glass micropipette(GMP)을 이용할 수 있는지, GMP 와 OPS 로 동결융해 후 생존율의 비교 및 GMP vitrification 후 hatching 율의 향상을 위하여 실시하였다. GMP vessel은 열전도율과 수정란을 포함하는 적은 질량 때문에 OPS 보다 동결 및 융해속도를 높일 수 있다. 3개의 체외수정란을 vitrification 용액에 노출시키고 OPS 또는 GMP vessel에 loading 시킨 후 액체질소에 침적하는데까지 20~25초 이내에 실시하였다. 동결ㆍ융해한 배반포기배는 0.25와 15 M sucrose solution 및 TCM 1999에 각각 5분씩 차례로 희석한 후 10% FCS가 첨가된 TCM 199에 24시간동안 배양하였다. OPS(75.9%)와 GMP(80.0%) 방법간의 re-expanding 율은 유의적 (P＜0.05)인 차이가 없었다. OPS(34.1%)와 GMP(37.5%) 방법에서 hatching 율은 intact group(54.3%) 보다도 유의적 (P＜0.05)으로 낮았다. 비록 GMP straw 당 3개 이하의 blastocysts 를 loading 하였더라도 narrow portion(83.3%) 보다도 wide portion(S6.7%)에서 vitrified 되었다면 re-expanding 율이 유의적 (P＜0.05)으로 낮았다. 비록 30초 처리군과 무처리군 간에는 유의적인 차이가 없었지만 0.05% pronase 용액에 30, 60 및 90초간 처리군 (45.9, 54.7 및 57.5%)의 hatching 율은 무처리구 (35.0%) 보다 유의적 (P＜0.05)으로 높았다. 이러한 결과들은 OPS와 GMP vitrification vessel은 체외생산된 배반포기배의 높은 생존율을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 GMP vessel은 L$N_2$침적 후 vessel의 floating을 방지하기 위한 또 다른 cap 이 필요하지 않다는 유리한 점을 가지고 있다. 수정란의 loading 위치, 즉 narrow 또는 wide portion에 따라 소 체외 생산된 배반포기배의 생존력에 제한적인 요인으로 고려된다. 0.5% pronase 용액에 60 또는 90초간의 노출은 융해후 hatching 율을 향상시킬 수 있었다.
