OBJECTIVE: These experiments were conducted to investigate the optimal expose length of propidium iodide (PI) and bisbenzimide on differential staining of mouse blastocysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total 964 blastocysts (early~hatched) was exposed to PI (n=831) (group I:

7.Moral status of preimplantation embryos.
Korean Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2008;51(3):286-289
here have been continuing challenges to devaluate the moral status of early embryo. The preembryo-embryo distinction was mainly based on the lack of individuation. The term of preembryo was introduced by a frog embryologist and then was literally spread around the world because of policy reasons. The term "preembryo" has not yet been used in most medical textbooks including textbooks of human embryology. Preembryo is one period of continuum during human development and therefore should be regarded as valuable as an early form of human life. Preimplantation embryo is more accurate term for the early embryo.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects on in vitro development of early preimplantation mouse embryos in DMEM medium with glutamine which was controlled by different composition of glucose and pyruvate. METHODS: Four hundred and nineteen mouse 2-cell embryos were cultured in four different media with different composition of glucose and pyruvate for 96 hours. The DMEM-G contained L-glutamine for energy sources was used for control group. Group I embryos were cultured in the medium that mixed one volume of DMEM-GGP contained L-glutamine, D-glucose and sodium pyruvate for energy sources with three volume of DMEM-G, and group II embryos were cultured in the medium that mixed with same volume of DMEM-G and DMEM-GGP, and group III embryos were cultured in DMEM-GGP. RESULTS: At 24 hours, the development into >or=3-cell was significantly higher (p<0.05) in group I (93.3%) than control (84.6%). The development into >or=8-cell was significantly higher in group I (73.1%) than control (44.2%), group II (59.6%) and III (45.8%), and also group II was significantly higher than control and group III. At 48 hours, the development into >or=morula was significantly higher in group I (90.4%) and II (86.5%) than control (73.0%). However, the development into blastocyst, in group III (15.0%) was significantly lower than control, group I and II. At 72 hours, the development into >or=expanded blastocyst was significantly higher in group I (69.2%) than group III (47.7%), and total blastocyst was significantly higher in group I (80.8%) than control (66.3%) and group III (67.3%). At 96 hours, the development into >or=hatching blastocyst was significantly higher in group I (78.8%) than control (61.5%) and group III (57.9%), and also, total blastocyst was significantly higher in group I (85.6%) than control (69.2%) and group III (72.0%). CONCLUSION: The development of early preimplantation mouse embryos cultured in group I medium that mixed one volume of DMEM-GGP with three volume of DMEM-G was better than other groups during the culture period.
