  • DTM cultures were taken on 66 animals that presented with clinical signs of dermatophytosis or that had a positive Wood's lamp test. Of these cultures, 24 were Microsporum canis. Fifteen of the M canis cases were detectable by Wood's lamp. A dosage of 12.5mg/kg BID of ultramicrosize griseofulvin was effective in eliminating clinical signs in nearly all cases. This BID dosage was more effective than the same dose given once daily.

  • Investigations of the effects of pickle product ingredients on lipoxygenase (LOX) and methemoglobin (MHG, a nonenzymatic oxidant) catalyzing oxidation of linolenic acid were conducted. In addition, activities of LOX, peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) in dry spices used in pickle products were determined. Some commercial pickle brines were observed to inhibit oxidation of linolenic acid by LOX and MHG. The ingredients in pickle products, such as dill oil emulsion, onion concentrate, oil cassia, polysorbate 80 and turmeric acid, reduced LOX and MHG catalyzed oxidation. Lipoxygenase activity was present in garlic, mustard seed and red pepper. Only in mustard seed, peroxidase activity was observed. Catalase activity was observed in garlic, black pepper, allspice and red pepper.

  • 4-Nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO) a potent oral carcinogen, widely used for induction of oral carcinogenesis, has been found to induce lipid peroxidation in vivo and in vitro. Green tea contains a high content of polyphenols, which are potent antioxidants. Thus green tea polyphenols (GTP) might be expected play a protective role against 4-NQO induced lipid peroxidation and bone marrow toxicity. In the present study, a dose of 200 mg of GTP/kg b.wt/day was given orally for a week, simultaneously animals received 0.2 ml of 0.5% 4-NQO in propylene glycol (5 mg/ml) injected intramuscularly for three times/week. Oxidants and antioxidants such as malendialdehyde (MDA) and thiols, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were significantly decreased in 4-NQO induced animals except MDA, and these parameters were brought back to near normalcy on treatment with GTP. The results suggest that GTP treatment offers significant protection against 4-NQO induced lipid peroxidation and bone marrow toxicity and might be a promising potential candidate for prevention of mutations leading to cancer.

  • A 15-year-old castrated male Persian (Case 1), an 1.5-year-old castrated male Bengal (Case 2), and an 1.5-year-old spayed female Russian Blue (Case 3) cats were presented with iris-color change and suspicious anterior chamber mass. Complete ophthalmic examination revealed a vascularized or blood tinted mass filling with anterior chamber accompanied by rubeosis iridis, dyscoria, keratic precipitates, and severe aqueous flare. Ocular ultrasonography showed an iridociliary mass with blood flow signal in Case 1. Abdominal ultrasonography also revealed suspicious metastatic involvements of liver and spleen in this cat. Case 2 and 3 were suspected of being infected with feline infectious peritonitis. Topical antibiotic/steroid combinations were prescribed to control the uveitis in all 3 cases, although enucleation was initially considered for palliative pain management in Case 1. Anterior chamber mass had almost completely disappeared after topical medications and uveitis has been successfully managed, remaining in sight, even though ocular hypertension developed 1 month later in Case 1.

  • 인삼 PD saponin(GPD)으로 배양한 고양이 말초혈액 단핵구세포(afNC) 배양상충 액에서 말초혈액 다형핵백혈구(PMNC)에 대한 interleukin(IL) 8 양 유주활성에 잔하여 검토 하였다. PMNC의 유주활성은 Hoyden chamber 변법으로 측정하였다. GPD를 첨가하여 배양 한 MNC배양상층액중에는 rMNC에 대한유주활성이 인정되었다. PMNC에 대하여 GPD 로 배양한 MNC 배양상층액중에 존재하는 유주활성이 IL 8 양 물질인지를 알아보기 위해 human recombinant IL 8을 이용하여 고양이 PMNC에 대해 유주팔성을 측정한 결과, GPD 로 배양한 MNC 배양상층액의 경우와 동등한 활성이 나타났다. Human IL 8 mAb를 사용하 여 GPD로 배양한 MNC 배양상층액중의 유주활성에 대한 중화반응을 살펴본 결과, GPD로 배양잔 MNC 배양상충액 및 human IL 8에 의해 증가되었던 PMNC의 유주활성은 IL 8 cAb의 첨가농토가 증가함에 따라 활성이 완전히 억제되었다. 또한 GPD로 배양한 고양이 MNC 배양상충액중의 유주활성은 열처리(4, 30, 37, 60 및 $100{\circ}C$) 및 산(pH 3.0)과 알카리 (pH 9.0)처리에도 안정성을 보여 human IL 8의 물리화학적 성상과 매우 유사하였다. 따라서 GPD로 배양한 MNC 배양상충액중에 존재하는 고양이 PMNC에 대한 유주활성은 feline IL 8 양 물질임을 강하게 시사하였다.

  • 원격 하드웨어 관리 기술은 BMC 관리 기술을 사용하여 자사의 하드웨어를 원격으로 제어하고 모니터링 할 수 있는 여러 기능들을 제공하며, 이를 기반으로 대규모의 클러스터 관리를 담당한다. 자체적인 서버 관리 기술로 Dell의 iDRAC, HP의 iLO, Supermicro의 SSM 등이 있으며, 클러스터 관리 도구로는 BCM, Warewulf, xCAT, Grendel 등이 활용된다. 그러나 대부분의 자체 하드웨어 서버 관리기술은 단일 서버 관리 기능만 지원하거나, 하드웨어 센서를 추가하거나 수정할 수 있는 관리 기능을 지원하지 않는다. 또한 대규모를 지원하는 주요 클러스터 관리 도구도 관리되는 서버의 종류가 제한되거나, 지원되는 하드웨어 센서를 추가하거나 수정하기 어렵다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 각각 다른 하드웨어 센서 아이디를 가지고 있는 여러 서버들로 이루어진 대규모 이기종 하드웨어를 통합적으로 관리, 제어, 모니터링하기 위한 센서 템플릿 기술을 소개한다.

  • This study was designed to investigate the effects of silk fibroin powder on oxygen radicals and their scavenger enzymes in serum of rats. Sprague-Dawley(SD) male rats (160${\pm}$10 g) were fed experimental diets (SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups)added 2.5 and 5.0 g/kg BW/day for 6 weeks. Triglyceride levels were remarkably inhibited (15∼25%) in SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group. Hydroxyl radical ($.$OH) formations resulted in a marked decrease (15%∼25%) compared with control group, while superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide formations resulted in a significant decrease (6∼12% and 10%). Lipid peroxide and oxidized protein (>C=O group) productions resulted in a significant decrease (6∼12% and 6%) compared with control group. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were remarkably increased (35∼55% and 40∼50%), but glutathione peroxidase (GSHPX) activities were significantly increased (13%) compared with control group. These results suggest that anti-aging effect of silk fibroin powder (SFP) may play a pivotal role in attenuating a various age-related changes.

  • This study was designed to investigate the effects of silkworm powder (SWP) on oxygen radicals and their scavenger enzymes in serum of rats. Sprague Dawley (SD) male rats (160${\pm}$10g) were fed experimental diets (SWP-200and SWP-400 groups)added 200 and 400mg/kg BW/day for 6 weeks. Triglyceride (TG)levels were significantly inhibited (10% and 25%) in SWP-200 and SWP-400 groups, but there were no singificant differences in total, LDL-and HDL-cholesterol levels in both SWP-200 and SWP-400 groups. Hydroxyl radical ($.$OH) formations resulted in a marked decreases (about 20%) in both SWP-200 and SWP-400 groups compared with control group. Superoxide radical (O2.-)and hydrogen peroxide formations resulted in a significant decreases in SWP-400 group compared with control group. Lipid peroxide (LPO)and oxidized protein(>C=O group) productions resulted in a significant decreases (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activiteies were remarkably increased (10∼25% and 40∼50%)in SWP-200 and SWP-400groups. Glutathione peroxidase(GSHPX) activities were significantly increased (about 10%) in SWP-400 groups compared with control group. These results suggest that anti-aging effect of silkworm powder (SWP) may play a pivotal role in attenuation a various chronic degenerative diseases age-related changes.

  • 고양이를 기르는 가구의 증가와 함께 건강한 애묘 방법을 찾는 애묘인 또한 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고양이의 건강 상태를 모니터링하기 위해 반드시 선행되어야만 하는 고양이의 행동 정보를 딥러닝 방법론을 기반으로 인식하고자 한다. 인식을 위해 먼저, 카메라 센서를 이용하여 고양이 영상 데이터를 수집한 후, 수집된 영상에서 RGB 프레임과 optical flow 프레임 정보를 각각 수집한다. 각각의 프레임은 RGB Network 와 Flow Network 에 입력되고, 두 네트워크 결과 정보에 대하여 concatenation 을 수행한다. 연계된 특징 정보는 행동 인식 알고리즘인 Two-Stream YOLO 에 입력이 되어 고양이의 행동을 인식한다. 고양이의 행동 인식은 일곱 개의 클래스로 나누어 진행하였다. 행동 인식 실험 수행 결과 mAP와 f1-score 모두에서 0.9이상의 높은 성능을 보였으며, 실시간으로 수행이 가능함을 확인하였다.
