The studies were carried out to investigate the effects of co-culture with cumulus cells and oviduct epithelial cells on the in vitro fertilization and cleavage rate of bovine follicular cocytes and to determine the optimum thawing temperature and equilibration time on in vitro developmental rate of frozen bovine embryos. The ovaries were obtained from slaughtered Korean native cows. The follicular oocytes were cultured in TGM-199 medium containing 10 IU /ml의 PM SG, 10 IU /ml의 hCG, ip g/ml의 $\beta$-estradiol and 10% FCS for 24~48 hrs in incubator with 5% $CO_2$ in air at 38.5$^{\circ}C$. The bovine embryos following dehydration by cryoprotective agents and a various concentration of sucrose were directly plunged into liquld nitrogen and thawed in 3$0^{\circ}C$ water. Survival rate was defined as developmental rate on in vitro culture or FDA-test. The results are sunanarized as followes :1. The in vitro fertilization and in vitro developmental rates of bovine oocytes co-cultured with cumulus cells in TCM499 medium were 75.0~76.8% and 17.3~27.6%, respect-ively. And in-vitro fertilization rates of cumulus-enclosed oocytes(55.4%)were significantly(p<0.05) higher than cumulus-denuded oocytes (23.1%). 2. The in vitro fertilization and in vitro developmental rates of bovine oocytes co-cultured with l$\times$ l04cells /ml, 1 x l06cells /ml, lx l08cells /ml and 1 x l015cells /ml oviduct epithelial cells in TCM-199 medium were 74.5~77.8% and 15.7~21.20 respectively.3. The in-vitro fertilization and in vitro developmental rates of bovine oocytes cocultured in '1CM-199 media containing PMSG, hCG, PMSG+hCG. PMSG+$\beta$-estradiol, hCG+$\beta$-estradiol 0 to 40 hrs after insemination were 74.0~77.4% and l8.9~23.l%, re-spectiv ely.4.The survival rates of bovine embryos thawed after rapid freezing in the freezing medium containing a various concentration of sucrose added 1.5M and 2.OM glycerol,DMSO and propanediol were 23.5~31.4% and 20.6~34.l%, respectively. 5. The temperature thawed at 3$0^{\circ}C$ after rapid freezing of bovine embryos resulted in a significantly higher embryos survival rate than did at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$.6. The equilibration time on the survival rates of bovine embryos was attained after short period of time(2.5~5 min.) in the freezing medium higher than long period of time (10~20min.).

The present study was performed to investigate the survival and subsequent embryonic developmental rate of immature and mature oocytes after vitrification and pronuclear stage embryos after slow-freezing and vitrification. We have also tried to examine the dependency of concentrations (7.5, 15%) and exposure time (5, 10, 20 min) of ED cryoprotectant on developmental rate of pronuclear stage embryos. The developmental rates of 2-ce1l and blastocyst embryos at mature oocytes were significantly (p<0.05) higher than immature oocytes. After slow freezing, vitrification and thawing of pronuclear stage embryo, the survival and developmental rates of blastocysts and hatched blastocysts were significantly (p<0.05) higher after vitrification than after slow-freezing. On contrary, the developmental rates of 2-cell embryos were significantly (p<0.05) higher after slow freezing than after vitrification. The cryopreservation methods of pronuclear stage embryos vitrified by exposed to 7.5% ED solution for 5 minutes was significantly (p<0.05) higher than other experimental group. The results of our study suggest 1hat the developmental rates of mature oocytes have been more successful than immature oocytes during vitrification. Vitrification was more efficient than slow freezing in case of pronuclear stage embryos. The effective cryopreservation method of pronuclear stage embryos was vitrified by exposed to 7.5% ED solution for 5 minutes.

개의 인공수정에 사용할 정자의 보존방법을 확립하기 위하여, 동결속도와 응해 온도를 설정하여 적절한 동결방법을 정립하고자 본 실험을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 동결의 방법에 있어서는 액체질소의 표면으로부터 17 cm 높이에서 동결하는 -3$^{\circ}C$/min의 동결속도로 실시하여 37$^{\circ}C$에서 2분간 응해하는 방법이 가장 좋은 결과를 보였다. 생존성과 운동성에 있어서의 차이는 없지만 첨체의 intact한 비율은 약간 낮은 결과를 보였으며, 이의 보완을 위해, 액체질소 표면으로부터 10cm와 17cm의 높이를 세분화하여 동결속도를 설정한 후보다 나은 정액동결방범을 찾는다면 동결정액을 이용한 인공수정의 수태율은 더욱 향상될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This studies were conducted to investigate the survival rate of frozen-thawed spermatozoa of Jindo Dog by monosaccharide and freezing rates. Experimental animals were prepared 12 males within 1~8 year's old and collected once in a couple of weeks by digital manuplation methods. Collected semen was diluted 1:1 with Tris-egg yolk extender and added 4, 6 or 8% of glycerol and none, 4 mM glucose or 4 mM fructose as cryoprotectant and was equilibrated for 2 hrs in $4^{\circ}C$. In monosaccharide groups, the freezing rate was 5 cm-5 min. above $LN_2$. The survival rates without monosaccharide were $50.7{\pm}19.0%$, $58.6{\pm}18.0%$, $40.0{\pm}10.0%$ in 4, 6 or 8% glycerol, respectively. In addition of glucose, the survival rates were $43.1{\pm}14.7%$, $38.1{\pm}16.5%$, $33.3{\pm}4.0%$ in 4, 6 or 8% glycerol, respectively and in fructose, were $47.9{\pm}21.1%$, $61.3{\pm}6.2%$, $34.3{\pm}12.6%$ in 4, 6 or 8% glycerol, respectively. There showed significantly different between glycerol groups and monosaccharides groups (p<0.05). The survival rates of freezing rate in 5 cm-5 min. group was $64.5{\pm}15.8%$, $51.9{\pm}27.6%$, $29.7{\pm}24.8%$ and in 10 cm-10 min. group was $62.5{\pm}20.3%$, $64.9{\pm}23.6%$, $34.5{\pm}27.4%$ in 4, 6 or 8% glycerol, respectively. There were significantly different between freezing rates (p<0.05). These results suggest that the addition of fructose with 6%-glycerol and slow freezing improve the survival of frozen-thawed sperm in Jindo Dog.

This study was carried out to investigate the survival rates of late mouse molulae frozen in the state of vitrification and then thawed after equilibrating them separately in EFS 40, GFS 40 and DFS 40 at 1$0^{\circ}C$. The results obtained are as follows : 1. Freezing in the state of vitrification and thawing late mouse molulae after equilibrating them at l0$0^{\circ}C$ in EFS 40 for 30 seconds, one minute and two minutes, we obtained survival rates of 76.7%, 96.7% and 100%, respectively. 2. Freezing and thawing them after equilibrating at 1$0^{\circ}C$ in GFS 40 for 30 seconds, one minute and two minutes, we obtained survival rates of 60%, 96.7% and 10%, respectively. These results are as similar as in the case of EFS 40. 3. Freezing and thawing them after equilibrating at l$0^{\circ}C$ in DFS 40 for 30 seconds and one minute, we obtained survival rates of 62.1% and 0%, respectively. These results represent lower survival rates than those obtained with EFS 40 and GFS 40. In conclusion, even equilibrating late mouse molulae in EFS 40 and GFS 40 at 1$0^{\circ}C$ for more than one minute gives a survival rate of more than 97%, while equilibrating them in DFS 40 at 1$0^{\circ}C$ for more than one minute results in a 0% survival rate, which means that DFS 40 has a strong toxicity.

목 적: 본 연구는 생쥐 전핵시기 배아를 완만동결법과 유리화동결법으로 동결-융해 후 배아의 생존율과 성장률을 비교하고자 시행하였다. 연구방법: 과배란을 유도한 생쥐로부터 전핵시기 배아를 획득하여 10% SSS가 첨가된 HTF 배양액으로 약 1시간 동안 배양한 후 두 개의 전핵이 관찰되는 정상적인 형태의 배아만 선별하여 동결하였다. 동결방법으로는 1.5 M PROH에 0.1 M sucrose가 함유된 완만동결법과 40% ethylene glycol, 18% Ficoll, 0.5 M sucrose가 혼합된 EFS40 용액과 EM grid를 이용하여 이용한 유리화동결법을 실시하였다. 동결-융해 후 전핵시기 배아의 회수율, 생존을 및 부화 포배기로의 성장률과 부화율을 비교하였다. 결 과: 각각의 방법으로 동결-융해 후 24시간 동안 배양하였을 때 2-세포기까지의 성장률은 완만동결군이 59.1%이었고 유리화동결군이 77.0%로 두 군간에 유의한 차이를 보였고 (p<0.003), 48시간 동안의 배양에서도 완만동결군이 53.3%이고 유리동결군이 72.6%로 유의하게 유리화동결군에서 높은 수세포기까지의 성장률을 보였으며 (p<0.003), 72시간 배양하였을 때의 상실배로의 성장률 역시 완만동결군이 46.7%이고 유리화동결군이 67.3%로 유리화동결군에서 유의하게 높은 성장률을 보였다 (p<0.001). 융해 후 144시간 동안 배양하였을 때의 부화포배기로의 성장률은 완만동결군이 26.3%이고 유리화동결군이 43.4%로 유리화동결군에서 유의하게 높은 성장률을 보였다 (p<0.005). 결 론: 생쥐 전핵시기 배아의 동결보존에서 유리화동결법은 완만동결법 보다 시간이 단축되고 비싼 장비가 필요없어 경제적이고 간단했을 뿐 아니라 동결-응해 후 전반적으로 높은 생존율과 성장률을 나타내었다.

배경: 액체질소에 의한 냉동방법은 생물학과 의학에서 세포와 조직의 장기보존으로는 성공적인 방법이다. 잘 조절된 냉동속도와 해동의 방법과 함께 글라이세롤이나 디메칠설폭사이드 같은 냉동보존제의 사용으로 얼음결정이 생기는 것을 방지하여 구조의 유지와 생존율을 모두 향상시킬 수 있으며 반영구적으로 보존할 수 있다. 여러 조직의 초저온냉동에는 조직에 맞는 냉동속도가 있다. 대상 및 방법: 가장 적합한 냉동곡선과 이를 위한 냉동챔버온도를 찾기 위해서 우리들은 조직의 열역학적 계산을 두 가지 방법으로 하였다. 하나는 직접계산방법으로 모든 냉동 대상물의 열물리학적 특성, 잠재용융열, 면적, 농도와 체적을 알아야 계산할 수 있다. 이러한 방법은 매우 복잡하고 어떠한 경우에는 실제 값을 알 수 없다. 다른 방법은 간접계산방법으로 우선 기존의 냉동곡선으로 조직을 냉동시켜 조직의 실제 냉동곡선을 얻은 다음 시간상수로 냉동곡선을 분석한 다음 온도반응을 계산하고 적합한 x차방정식을 대입시켜 냉동 시 온도상승을 막고 이것을 거꾸로 냉동챔버온도를 산출하는 방식이다. 결과: 이 냉동 프로그램을 중배엽줄기세포, 연골세포와 골아세포에 적용시켜 검사하였다. 조직의 온도는 온도상승과정 없이 이상적인 냉동곡선을 따라 감소하였다. 그러나 세포의 양과 수용액의 양이 적어 냉동곡선간의 생존력이 통계학적으로 차이가 있지는 않았다. 만약 더욱 부피가 큰 조직을 냉동시키거나 프로그램을 순차적으로 계속한다면 이상곡선에 더욱 근접하게 되어 차이가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 결론： 이 프로그램은 이상적인 냉동곡선으로 조직을 냉동시키기 위한 냉동챔버온도를 쉽게 찾을 수 있도록 도움이 될 것이다.
