  • GnRH는 국부적으로 난소에서 합성되며, 난소내 과립 및 황체세포에 직접적으로 작용하여 난소의 기능을 조절하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 특히, GnRH는 난소내 과립-황체화 세포의 세포자연사를 유도하는 것으로 보고하고 있다. 그러나 GnRH에 의한 세포자연사가 FSH에 의해 회복될 수 있는지는 명확히 밝혀져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 실험에서 난자 채취시 획득한 사람 과립-황체화 세포를 배양한 후 5, 50, 100 ng/$m\ell$ GnRH와 1 IU/$m\ell$ FSH를 처리하고 세포의 세포자연사 여부와 분비된 progesterone$(P_4)$과 estradiol$(E_2)$ 양의 변화를 조사하였다. DNA 분절화 분석과 TUNEL 방법으로 세포자연사를 평가한 결과, GnRH는 농도 의존적으로 과립-황체화 세포의 세포자연사를 증가시켰고, 특히 100 ng/$m\ell$ GnRH을 처리한 군에서 유의한 차이를 보이며 세포자연사 비율이 증가하였다. 또한 GnRH에 의한 세포자연사의 증가는 FSH에 의해 억제되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 화학발광면역 측정법을 이용하여 배양내 $P_4$$E_2$의 양을 측정한 결과, GnRH을 처리한 후 $E_2$의 양은 변화가 없었던 반면 $P_4$의 양은 감소하였다. 이러한 GnRH의 $P_4$ 합성 억제 효과는 세포자연사 결과 마찬가지로 FSH에 의해 회복되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과는 체외수정 및 배아이식 시술시 사용되고 있는 GnRH 작용제가 난소의 기능을 억제시킬 수 있을 것으로 보이나, 다량으로 투여되는 FSH에 의해 회복될 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 이러한 실험 결과는 난소에 대한 GnRH의 생리적 기전을 이해하고 향후 새로운 과배란 유도 방법을 개발하는데 필요한 기초 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • Glutaronitrile(GN) was introduced to diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/ 4,4'-methylene dianiline(MDA) system to improve toughness. Effects of GN contents on thermal decomposition of epoxy resin system were investigated. To study the characteristics of thermal decomposition, thermo-gravimetric analysis(TGA) and Kissinger equation were used. Thermal degradation temperatures were about 365$^{\circ}C$ regardless of GN contents. Activation energies of thermal decomposition in epoxy resin system were almost constant below 10 phr and decreased above 15 phr.

  • This study was carried out to monitor the response of ovaries and cyst according to treatment with GnRH or combination of GnRH and $PGF_2{\alpha}$ in dairy cows with ovarian follicular cysts. Thirty cows were diagnosed as having follicular cysts by rectal palpation, ultrasonography and progesterone (P4) assays. Ten cows were treated with GnRH (control), and the other twenty were treated with $PGF_2{\alpha}$ at 10 days after GnRH treatment. All the animals were re-examined by ultrasonography and blood was collected for the measurement of plasma P4 concentration at day 0 (the day of treatment), day 7, day 10, day 13, day 24 and day 34, respectively. In 30 cows that were diagnosed with follicular cysts, mean plasma P 4 concentrations on day -II and day -I were 0.3 ng/ml and 0.4 ng/ml. On day 10 increased as 2.7$\pm$0.2 ng/ml. Mean cystic wall thickness by ultrasonography on day -11 and day -I were 2.1 mm and 2.2 mm. In 9 cows responded on luteinization of cystic wall, cystic wall thickness was 3.9$\pm$0.5 mm at day 10 after GnRH treatment. The responses of ovaries until day 10 after GnRH treatment included development of corpus luteum in the ovary bearing the cyst or in the contralateral ovary (12 cows), luteinization of cystic wall (6 cows) and clouding of the anechoic antrum of cysts (2 cows). The ovarian responses according to the combination of GnRH and $PGF_2{\alpha}$ included regression of the corpus luteum (12 cows), increase (1 cow) and no change (1 cow) of cyst size until last examination, and complete disappearance on day 13 (6 cows), 23 (6 cows) and 34 (4 cows). Combination treatment group of GnRH and $PGF_2{\alpha}$ showed a higher pregnancy rate within 100 days after initial treatment (40.0 vs 65.0%) and shorter intervals from the treatment to conception (45.4$\pm$25.8 vs 53.5$\pm$31.4 days) compared with control. It was concluded that the administration of $PGF_2{\alpha}$ following GnRH treatment is effective in shortening the interval from treatment to conception in cows with follicular cyst. Also, this study suggested that the response of the cyst according to treatment revealed various types. Therefore, veterinarians should pay attention to monitor of the response of cystic ovaries after treatment, specially no change, slowly decrease or increasement of cyst size after treatment.

  • 그래핀나노플레이트렛(GnP)이 목재기반 복합보드의 열적 및 난연 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 5, 10, 및 20 wt% 등 여러 가지 GnP 함량으로 GnP/재활용 페놀폼(re-PF)/목재 복합보드를 제조하였다. 제조된 복합보드의 열적특성 및 난연성은 열중량분석(TGA) 및 한계산소지수(LOI) 시험을 통하여 각각 분석되었다. 복합보드의 열안정성은 GnP 첨가량에 따라 비례하게 증가하였고, 이 복합보드의 탄화수율(char yield)은 순수 목재보드 대비 최대 22%까지 증가하였다. 복합보드의 LOI 값은 순수 목재보드보다 약 4.8~7.8% 높았다. 또한, 재활용 페놀폼 및 GnP 첨가로 인하여 복합보드의 난연성이 크게 향상되었음을 확인하였다. 이는 열안정성이 높은 재활용 페놀폼과 GnP가 복합보드의 열분해 개시 온도를 지연시키고, 탄화층(char layer)을 보다 조밀하고 두껍게 형성하였기 때문에, 복합보드의 연소 지연효과를 이끌었다. 특히 탄소기반 재료로서 GnP는 탄화층의 형성을 용이하게 하고, 탄화수율을 현저히 증가시켜 재활용 페놀폼에 비하여 난연성에 높은 효과를 나타내었다.

  • Cryopreservation is mainly used for preservation of boar sperm. However, this method stresses the sperm by reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the conception rate and the litter size are not more efficient than the liquid preservation of spermatozoa. Therefore, we use chitosan which is a natural product derived antioxidant compound. We used GnHA (chitosan+hyaluronic acid) and GnHG (chitosan hydrogel) as chitosan complexes to cryopreserve boar sperm for improve sperm metabolism and function. Sperm parameter (sperm motility, progressive motility, path velocity, straight-line velocity, curvilinear velocity) is measured by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) using frozen sperm with GnHA or GnHG (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1 mg/mL), respectively. Also, lipid peroxidation analysis using malondialdehyde (MDA) is performed to confirm the antioxidative effect of chitosan in frozen spermatozoa. CASA analysis showed GnHA and GnHG are effective against cryopreserved boar sperm. And antioxidant effect is measured by lipid peroxidation analysis. GnHA and GnHG, which is chitosan complex are effective for boar sperm cryopreservation by antioxidant effect.

  • Objective : The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome the GnRH antagonist (Cetrotide) short protocol in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation comparing with GnRH agonist long protocol. Materials and Method: From July 2000 to November 2001, 26 patients, 28 cycles were performed in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation by GnRH antagonist and GnRH agonist. GnRH antagonist (Cetrotide) was administered in 12 patients (14 cycles, Group 1) and GnRH agonist (Lucrin, Sub Q, Group 2) in 14 patients (14 cycles). Ovulation induction was performed by hMG (Pergonal) in group 1, and by Combo (Metrodine HP + Pergonal) in group 2. We compared the fertilization rate, good quality embryo, and clinical pregnancy rate between the two groups. Student-t test and Chi-square were used to determine statistical significance. Statistical significance was defined as p<0.05. Results: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome did not occurred in which estradiol (E2) level was $3874{\pm}809\;pg/ml$ and the number of retrieved oocytes was $18.4{\pm}2.4$. The number of used gonadotropin ampules was significantly decreased in Group 1 (26.0 vs. 33.1, p<0.04). There were no significant difference in the number of preovulatory oocyte ($10.6{\pm}6.9$ vs. $10.0{\pm}6.1$), fertilization rate ($74.8{\pm}23.4$ vs. $72.2{\pm}21.8$), good quality embryo ($58.7{\pm}23.6$ vs. $38.7{\pm}36.6$), and embryo transfer ($4.3{\pm}1.6$ vs. $4.4{\pm}1.6$). Although the age of the group 1 was older than the group 2 (34.4 vs. 30.8), there was no significant difference in clinical pregnancy rate (50.0% vs. 57.1%). Conclusions: We suggest that GnRH antagonist was a safe, effective, and alternative method in the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, especially in PCOD patients who will be develop the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

  • 인간의 태반성 성선자극호르몬(HCG) 또는 성선자극호르몬-방출호르몬 유도체(GnRH-A)와 pimozide를 이용하여 산란시기의 암컷황복에서 인공 산란을 유도하였다. 호르몬 또는 호르몬유도체의 효과는 배란 후 인공수정시켜 수정율과 배체형성율 및 면역방사측정법으로 혈액의 plasma 내 성선자극호르몬(GTH) 양을 측정하여 결정하였다. 수정율과 배체형성율이 가장 좋은 HCG 농도는 어체중 kg 당 1,000 IU이었다. 또한 GnRH-A ($10\;{\mu}g/kg$)와 pimozide를 동시에 처리했을 때 수정율과 배체형성율이 좋은 pimozide의 농도는 5 mg/kg이었다. Pimozide(1, 5 mg/kg)를 단독으로 처리한 어류에서는 plasma 내 GTH양에 영향을 줄 수 없었지만, GnRH-A와 동시에 처리했을 때 GTH양은 현저히 증가되었다. GnRH-A와 pimozide 및 dopamine을 동시에 처리했을 때 혈액의 plasma 내 GTH양은 크게 감소되었다. 이상의 결과는 산란시기 또는 이시기이외에 황복의 뇌로부터 여러 가지 성선자극호르몬과 성선자극억제호르몬을 분비됨을 시사해 준다.

  • Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of double intrauterine insemination with single intrauterine insemination in GnRH antagonist combined ovarian hyperstimulation (Mild ovarian hyperstimulation) Materials and Methods: From Jan. 2001 to Jul. 2004, a retrospective clinical analysis was done of a total of 295 cycles in 170 patients who underwent ovarian hyperstimulation for ART (assisted reproductive technique). Subjects were divided into three groups; only clomiphene citrate ovarian hyperstimulation (n=55, 95cycles), GnRH antagonist combined ovarian hyperstimulation (soft ovarian hyperstimulation) (n=66 99cycles), and GnRH agonist combined ovarian hyperstimulation (short protocol) (n=49, 101cycles) Each group were randomly devided into two subgroups. One group underwent single IUI and the other group underwent double IUI. Results: GnRH antagonist group and GnRH agonist group had similar pregnancy rate. In GnRH antagonist Group, pregnancy rate was 36.1% in single IUI subgroup and was 36.6% in double IUI subgroup. These finding were not statistically significant. And Pregnancy rate was 20.8% in single IUI subgroup and was 19.3% in double IUI subgroup in single clomiphene citrate group, and 36.3% in single IUI subgroup and was 33.3% in double IUI subgroup in GnRH agonist group. These finding were not statistically significant, too. Conclusion: Pregnancy rate of GnRH antagonist was high and complication rate such as OHSS and multiple pregnancy was lower. In GnRH antagonist group, to compare with single IUI and double IUI, the result do not statistically differ. So GnRH antagonist single injection with single IUI was relatively comparable ART in infertiliry patient.
