Factors Influencing the Efficiency of In Vitro Embryo Production in the Pig
Tao Lin,Jae Eun Lee,Hyun Young Shin,Reza K. Oqani,Dong Il Jin 한국동물번식학회 2015 Reproductive & developmental biology Vol.39 No.2
Pigs are considered an ideal source of human disease model due to their physiological similarities to humans. However, the low efficiency of in vitro embryo production (IVP) is still a major barrier in the production of pig offspring with gene manipulation. Despite ongoing advances in the associated technologies, the developmental capacity of IVP pig embryos is still lower than that of their in vivo counterparts, as well as IVP embryos of other species (e.g., cattle and mice). The efficiency of IVP can be influenced by many factors that affect various critical steps in the process. The previous relevant reviews have focused on the in vitro maturation system, in vitro culture conditions, in vitro fertilization medium, issues with polyspermy, the utilized technologies, etc. In this review, we concentrate on factors that have not been fully detailed in prior reviews, such as the oocyte morphology, oocyte recovery methods, denuding procedures, first polar body morphology and embryo quality.

Low Image Distortion Constrained Power Saving for OLED Displays
Lin-Tao Duan,Bing Guo,Yan Shen,Ji-He Wang,Wen-Li Zhang 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Vol.8 No.11
Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays have matured into current smartphones. How to prolong the lifetime of displays while preserving the display quality becomes a primary issue. In this paper, we propose a low image distortion constrained power-saving approach for OLED displays based on gamma correction and saturation scaling. We first investigate the impact of gamma correction and saturation scaling on the power of emissive displays. The results show that changing the gamma and saturation value can obtain lower display power consumption when original image color maps to another one. Thus, we integrate the gamma correction and the saturation scaling into a new low-power approach for OLED displays. However, low gamma and high saturation lead to distortion on displaying. To guarantee user experience in this paper, the CIEDE2000 color difference formula and the Mean Structural Similarity Index (MSSIM) are used to evaluate the effectiveness of our approach. The results show that our approach saves up significant display power with high image quality.

Poor-quality oocytes (those with 1 to 2 layers of cumulus cells) typically possess low meiotic competence and development. Prolonging the duration of in vitro maturation (IVM; 52 h) can enhance the maturation rate of poor-quality oocytes, but it does not improve subsequent embryonic development. This likely reflects the increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis seen in these oocytes compared with the non-prolonged IVM (44 h) group. Melatonin is a free radical scavenger, anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic agent that has been reported to enhance the quality of embryos by inhibiting ROS generation and apoptosis. Therefore, we herein investigated whether melatonin combined with prolonged IVM (52 h) could improve the quality and development of poor-quality oocytes. We supplemented IVM and/or in vitro culture (IVC) media with various concentrations (0, 10-7, 10-6 and 10-5 M) of melatonin, and estimated parameters related to oocyte quality and development. The addition of melatonin (10-6 M) to a prolonged IVM system improved the oocyte quality and development compared to those of the melatonin-free oocytes group, and that this was due to decreases in ROS generation, apoptosis, and DNA damage. When melatonin was added during both IVM (10-6 M) and IVC (10-6 M), we observed a cumulative positive influence on embryonic development and quality; this treatment enhanced the expression level of Oct4, and decreased the levels of ROS, DNA damage and apoptosis. Together, these findings suggest that the combination of melatonin plus prolonged IVM can improve the quality and development of poor-quality porcine oocytes via anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic effects.

Aspergillus oryzae is generally recognized as safe, but it is closely related to A. flavus in morphology and genetic characteristics. In this study, we tested the aflatoxigenicity and genetic analysis of nine commercial A. oryzae strains that were used in Korean soybean fermented products. Cultural and HPLC analyses showed that none of the commercial strains produced detectable amount of aflatoxins. According to the molecular analysis of 17 genes in the aflatoxin (AF) biosynthetic pathway, the commercial strains could be classified into three groups. The group I strains contained all the 17 AF biosynthetic genes tested in this study; the group II strains deleted nine AF biosynthetic genes and possessed eight genes, including aflG, aflI, aflK, aflL, aflM, aflO, aflP, and aflQ; the group III strains only had six AF biosynthetic genes, including aflG, aflI, aflK, aflO, aflP, and aflQ. With the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, the group I A. oryzae strains showed no expression of aflG, aflQ and/or aflM genes, which resulted in the lack of AF-producing ability. Group II and group III strains could not produce AF owing to the deletion of more than half of the AF biosynthetic genes. In addition, the sequence data of polyketide synthase A (pksA) of group I strains of A. oryzae showed that there were three point mutations (two silent mutations and one missense mutation) compared with aflatoxigenic A. flavus used as the positive control in this study.

<P>Mammalian oocytes and early embryos derived from in vitro production are highly susceptible to a variety of cellular stresses. During oocyte maturation and preimplantation embryo development, functional proteins must be folded properly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to maintain oocyte and embryo development. However, some adverse factors negatively impact ER functions and protein synthesis, resulting in the activation of ER stress and unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling pathways. ER stress and UPR signaling have been identified in mammalian oocytes and embryos produced in vitro, suggesting that modulation of ER stress and UPR signaling play very important roles in oocyte maturation and the development of preimplantation embryos. In this review, we briefly describe the current state of knowledge regarding ER stress, UPR signaling pathways, and their roles and mechanisms in mammalian (excluding human) oocyte maturation and preimplantation embryo development.</P>

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is an indole synthesized from tryptophan by the pineal gland in animal. The major function of melatonin is to modulate circadian and circannual rhythms in photoperiodic mammals. Importantly, however, melatonin is also a free radical scavenger, anti-oxidant, and anti-apoptotic agent. Recently, the beneficial effects of melatonin on oocyte maturation and embryonic development in vitro have been reported in many species such as pig, cattle, sheep, mouse, and human. In this review, we will discuss recent studies about the role of melatonin in the production of porcine and bovine oocytes and embryos in vitro in order to provide useful information of melatonin in oocyte maturation and embryo culture in vitro.
