Abstract

Dog spermatozoa were recovered from the caudae epididymides of 23 domestic dogs which were 11 pure breed and 12 mix-breed dogs ranging in age from 0.6 to 3 years. The experimental designs were as follows: 1) the effect of chilling to 0. 10 or 37$^{\circ}C$. 2) the kinetics of chilling injury at 0 or 4$^{\circ}C$, and 3) the effect of sugars at $0^{\circ}C$. Viable spermatozoa were recovered by percoll gradient separation and adjusted to 5${\times}$10$^{7}$ spermatozoa/ml. In experiment 1, spermatozoa were diluted with 0.33 M glucose supplemented with 3% BSA (G-BSA) at 1:2 dilution. Spermatozoa were loaded into straws and exposed at 0, 10 or 37$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. In experiment 2, spermatozoa were prepared as the experiment 1 and exposed for 0.5, 5, 15, or 30 min at 0 or 4$^{\circ}C$. In experiment 3, spermatozoa were diluted with different sugars (0.33 M galactose, glucose, fructose, mannitol, lactose, sucrose, raffinose) and cooled to $0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Sperm membrane integrity, motility and acrosome integrity were assayed after rewarming at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. Sperm motility and membrane integrity abruptly decreased with decreasing temperature but acrosome integrity gradually decreased (P<0.05). Sperm motility was more sensitive to cold shock than membrane integrity and acrosome integrity. Spermatozoa cooled to $0^{\circ}C$ were more damaged than those at 4$^{\circ}C$. Sperm motility was not different among exposed times at both. 0 and 4$^{\circ}C$. However, membrane integrity of spermatozoa exposed for 30 min at both 0 and 4$^{\circ}C$ was significantly lower (P<0.05). Spermatozoa diluted in 0.33 M fructose or galactose showed lower motility and higher morphological abnormality with coiled tail at $0^{\circ}C$. These sperm characteristics were strongly related. These results indicate that dog epididymal spermatozoa are relatively sensitive to rapid cooling and higher morphological abnormality at $0^{\circ}C$ was shown in spermatozoa diluted in fructose and galactose.

냉각이 개 정자의 기능(생존력, 활력, 첨체고유성)과 형태(기형율)에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 23마리 개의 정소상체에서 정자를 회수하여 다음과 같은 실험에 사용하였다. 정자를 3% BSA가 첨가된 0.3M glucose(G-BSA)에 희석한 후 실험 1에서 서로 다른 온도, 0, 10, $37^{\circ}C$에 30분동안 냉각하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 가온한 후 정자의 활력, 생존력, 첨체고유성을 검사하였다. 실험 2에서 $0^{\circ}C$와 4$^{\circ}C$에서 정자를 서로 다른 시간 (5, 10, 15, 30분)동안 노출시켜 $37^{\circ}C$에서 가온한 후 정자의 활력 및 생존력을 검사하였다. 또한 sugars가 개정자의 기능과 형태에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 여러 종류의 sugars (0.3M)를 준비하고 $0^{\circ}C$에서 정자를 sugardyddor에 노출시켜 $37^{\circ}C$에서 가온한 후 정자의 활력, 생존력 및 기형정도를 관찰하였다. 본 실험결과 개 정조상체유래의 정자는 냉각온도가 감소할수록 정자의 기능이 급격하게 감소하여 냉각에 민감하게 나타났다.(P<0.05), 특히 정자의 활력이 다른 정자의 기능, 생존력과 첨체고유성에 비해 냉각에 민감하게 나타났다. 정자를 $0^{\circ}C$$4^{\circ}C$에서 서로 다른 시간(5, 10, 15, 30분) 동안 냉각하였을 때 30분 동안 냉각된 정자가 그 외의 시간 동안 냉각된 정자에 비해 생존력이 저하되었다. (P<0.05). 이상의 결과 개 정소상체유래의 정자는 냉각에 비교적 민감하였으며 정자의 냉각에 대한 민감성을 완화시키는 첨가제로 단당류뿐만 아니라 다당류에 대한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.선택에 대한 인식이 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 부페식당에서 가장 좋아하는 음식의 국적은 54.4%가 한국음식으로 나타났다. 부페식사에서 '약간' 또는 ‘대단히 과식했다'고 응답한 경우가 64.0%로 많은 대상자들이 과식하는 것으로 나타났는데 이로 인한 건강 및 영양문제에 대한 교육이 필요하고 운영면에서는 이러한 일종의 음식의 낭비를 줄일 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구가 필요하다고 사료되었다. 5) 향후 부페식당의 발전방향에 대한 의견 부페식당의 발전방향에 대해 '가지수를 줄여서라도 가격을 짜게 하자'는 의견이 82.9%로 대부분 조사 대상자들이 현재 부페가격에 대해 부정적인 반응을 보였다. '한국음식을 더 많이 해서 전통음식과 친밀한 장소로 발전시키자', '계절식품을 이용하고 비슷한 종류의 음식은 빼서 가격을 낮추자', '연령에 따라서, 또, 성인에서는 성별에 따라 가격 차이를 두자'는 의견 등이 있었다.이용한 배반포의 체외생산에 있어서 배양액내 항산화제의 첨가는 체외성숙단계에서만 효과적이었다. 이것은 아마도 항산화제가 체외성숙 시 난포란 내에서 일어나는 여러 가지 생화학 반응의 처리시간과 관련하여 활성화시킴으로써 난포란의 생존력을 높인 것이라고 사료되기 때문에 앞으로는 돼지 난포란의 효율적인 체외성숙에 대해서 배양액내 첨가물질은 물론 나아가서 방법론적인 측면에서 더욱 연구되어져야 할 것이다.ed from Nusselt's film condensation theory on tilted plate. Using those two expressions, a correlation was formulated as a function of heat flux and tilt angle, to determine the total thermal resistance of a tilted thermosyphon. The correlation formula showed a good agreement with the experimental
