The efficiency of nuclear transfer using donor embryos originated from ovum pickup(OPU) and activated recipient cytoplasts were examined for induction of twinning in Korean native cattle(KNC). After aspiration of follicle by OPU, regardless of the vacuum applied, we obtained same result in proportions of recovered cumulus-oocyte complex (COCs) with compact cumulus. Under electric stimulation(1.0kV/cm DC for $40{\mu}s$), most of activated oocytes proceed to anaphase II/telophase II within 3h(84.7%). In the treatment of oocyte activation, the preactivation which was performed before fusion had significant effect on the developmental rates to morula/blastocyst stage(9.4 vs 4.0%). In embryo transfer of nuclear transferred embryos, we obtained 2 twins from KNC recipients and 1 twin from a Holstein recipient. Our results showed that it is possible to obtain twins using nuclear transfer technique in KNC.

The purpose of present study is to improve the efficiency of fusion and the developmental rates of nuclear transplanted embryos to produce genetically identical twins from Korean native cattle. The diameter of aspirated follicles had no significant effect on the recovery rates of oocytes collected by ovum pick-up technique. The fusion rates of nuclear transplanted embryos were significantly higher in 50 and $100{\mu}s$ DC duration groups(73.3 and 72.0% ; respectively) than that in $30{\mu}s$ group(55.6% ; p<0.05). The cleavage rates of nuclear transplanted embryos appeared to be significantly higher in donor nuclei derived from in vivo (65.0%) than in those from in vitro (50.5% ; p<0.01), but the developmental rates to morulae and blastocysts were not significantly different between them(13.7 vs 10.9%, respectively).

Defective or inadequate semen quality, usually presenting as low sperm count or poor sperm motility , is recognizable by semen analysis. However, the ability of spermatozoa to fertilize an ovum is not determined used in various experiments. In this study, hamster oocyte sperm penetration assay was used to determine the fertilizing capacity of sperms in 20 subjects which divided into two groups, group A with 10 normal fertile men, and group B with 10 infertile men. The % penetration in group A and group B were 61% and 35% respectively, which showed statistically not significant but fertilization index was significantly different between group A(FI=2.24) and group B(FI=O.05). Additionally it seemed that the percentage of sperm penetraton was influenced more by the motility of spermatozoa than by the number.

Estrus cycle of cow, season and follicldar stimulating treatment, having an effect on the number of follicle, are investigated for the oocyte recovery rate in ovum pick-up(OPU). The number of follicle aspirated and oocyte collected on the different days of estrus cycle(D 4~5, D 9~10 and D 14~15) were not significantly different among the groups. The higher number of viable oocytes were produced on Jan-May(79.0%) than Jun-Aug(33.3%) by OPU in cow. The number of follicle and aspirated oocyte in cows treated FSH or PMSG combined with bovine somatotropin(bST) were 1.2~1.5 times higher than in cows treated alone follicular stimulating hormone(FSH) or pregnant mare serum gonadotropin(PMSG). In conclusion, OPU can be repeatedly practiced 2 or 3 times in an estrus cycle. In addition, the high environmental temperature is not good for ovarian function of cow and the bST co-treatment with FSH or PMSG is increasing the number of aspiratable follicle.

This experiment was carried out to develop the anesthetic methods for ultrasonography and a new simplified disposable needle guidance device for ovum pick-up(OPU) in cows. Three different anesthetic methods were applied as. 1) epidural analgesia only with 2% lidocaine(20~30 ml), 2) epidural analgesia with 2% under general sedation with xylazine, 3) epidural analgesia with 2% lidocaine under general sedation with detomidine. We evaluated the anesthetic effects with items such as relaxation of anal sphincter, tail movement and rectal wall, retractability of both ovaries, additional anesthesia and possibility of OPU. Through this experiment, the above three anesthetic methods were applicable to OPU, but the epidural anlagesia under general sedation with detomldine was most effective for OPU. We developed a new disposable needle guidance device with stainless steel tube. With this, disposable needles can be easily attatchable to any other intravaginal probes. And also, it was found to he practical, economic and effective for OPU with the recovery rate of 51.2%.

Histological investigation of the number of follicles following gonadotropin treatments for superovulation was carried out in mature Sprague-Dwaley(SD) rats. Routinely serial sections of paraffin-embedded ovaries were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and evaluated with light microscope. During the study unusual cases of microscopic alterations were observed in the medulla of ovaries in two rats. Case one: An ovum and its follicular fluid outflowed in medulla of ovary. The follicular fluid was densly proteinuous. Corona raiata consisted of 2-6 layers thick cells in the periphery of the ovum. While the cortical side of the follicular wall was intact with normal granulosa cell layer the meullary side of it was ruptured. Case two: A large cyst was present in medulla of ovary hilus. The cyst occupied the entire medulla displacing the ovarian archetecture and enclosed by connective tissue and smooth muscle wall.

본 연구는 초음파 유래 OPU (Ovum Pick-Up) 기술을 이용하여 엘크 암사슴의 개량 및 활용성 증진을 위해 엘크 암사슴 난자를 채취하였다. 비번식 계절시기에도 체외 수정란이 생산 가능한지 확인하기 위하여 OPU 초음파 진단기를 이용하여 사슴 난소에서 난포를 흡입한 후 난자를 회수 하였다. 총 85개의 난포를 흡입 한 결과 57개의 난자가 회수되어 67.1%의 회수율을 나타내었다. 난자의 등급을 평가한 결과 A 등급 14.0%, B 등급 19.2%, C 등급 15.7% 및 D 등급 50.8%로 조사되었다. 본 연구에서는 A~C 등급의 난자를 이용하여 체외성숙, 체외수정 및 체외배양을 실시하였다. 총 28개의 난자를 이용하여 67.9% (19/28)의 수정율을 보였으며 배반포 발달율은 14.3% (4/28)로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 하여 볼 때, 계절번식을 하는 것으로 알려져 있는 엘크에 초음파 유래 OPU 방법이 적용 가능한 것으로 확인하였다. 따라서, 향후 추가적인 연구를 통해 체외수정과 체외배양 효율을 보다 향상시킨다면 엘크 수정란 이식을 통해 사슴의 개량기반 구축과 암사슴의 활용성 향상에 기여 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The present study was carried out for the comparative study on the collection of bovine follicular oocytes by ultrasound-guided ovum pick-up(OPU) and slaughterhouse-derived (SHD) ovary aspiration and in vitro production of bovine embryos with the follicular oncytes in Korean native cows. Bovine follicular nocytes were observed with a 6.5 MHz convex-array ultrasound transducer designed for intravaginal use and the oocytes were collected with the aspiration equipment attached to the ultrasonograph. Bovine ovaries were collected and transported in phosphate buffered saline from the local slaughterhouse, the follicular oocytes were collected by the aspiration method. The collected follicular oocytes in good quality were matured, fertilized and cultured in the media. The total number of the visible follicles and the recovery rate of follicular oocytes were increased in ultrasonography following follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) treatment in Korean native cows. The mean recovery rate of oocytes was 66.2, 52.8 and 41.7% in the FSH-OPU, non-treatment-OPU and SHD ovaries, respectively. The mean number of recorved oocytes per cow were not significantly(P<0.05) different between the FSH-OPU(14.0$\pm$11.54) and SHD(17.1i6.21) groups, but the numbers in both groups were significantly(P<0.05) higher than the number in the non-treatment-OPU(3.7$\pm$1.57) group. The mean number of usable nocytes in Grade T /11 per ovary was 6.3, 4.8 and 1.3 in the cows of the SHD, FSH-OPU and non-treatment-OPU groups, respectively. The in vitro developmental rate to the blastocyst was not significantly different between the oocytes obtained via OPU(37.1%) and SHD(29.3%). Therefore, the ultrasound-guided OPU technique can be applied to the production of excellent embryos from the high-quality cows, and for the large scale production of in vitro bovine oocytes and embryos, the SHD ovary aspiration method is valuable.
