장기간의 간기능 부전 증상을 보인 2살짜리 포인터종 개가 전남대학교 동물병원에 내원하였다. 방사선 소견상 조영제(바륨)와 가스가 찬 소장이 심낭에서 관찰되었다. 허니아로 인한 불량한 예후 때문에 심한 간기능 부전이었지만 외과적 수술을 시행하였다. 소장, 대망, 담낭을 포함한 간이 복막-심막 횡격막 허니아에 의해 심낭에 삽입되어 있었다. 소장은 심낭에서 쉽게 복구되었지만 대망과 간은 심낭과의 심한 유착으로 복구되지 못하였다. (중략)

A 6-month-old intact female, domestic short hair cat was presented with dyspnea and anorexia for 2 days. Physical examination revealed muffled heart sound with labored breaths. Hyperproteinemia and hyperglobulinemia with polyclonal gammapathy was revealed. Pleural effusion was non-septic exudates, it also had hyperglobulinemia with decreased albumin: globuline ration. In addition, effusion RT-PCR for feline coronavirus was positive in this cat. Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) was strongly suspected and aggressive treatments with human interferon-alpha, pentoxifylline, and glucocorticoids were initiated. The cat remained healthy without recurrence of pleural effusion during 5 months follow-up periods. To the author's knowledge, this is the first case report describing successful management of FIP with human interferon-alpha and pentoxifylline in Korea.

It is now generalized to perform cardiac surgery in the patients with end-stage renal disease. The growing number of patients with chronic renal failure wake us up to the need to prepare for proper management. There are not only the prevalence of coronary artery disease, but also a great amount of valve dysfunction exist in this group. Peritoneal dialysis may be one of the obstacles for cardiopulmonary bypass but it is not a great hindrance in cardiac surgery with careful preparation and well organized perioperative care. The author has performed mitral valve replacement in a 33-year-old anuric female patient with chronic renal failure and severe mitral insufficiency. Preoperatively, the patient was kept in adequate fluid and electrolyte balance using peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal dialysis continued and regulated according to the laboratory data in this patient during and after the surgery. She recovered well showing an uneventful course and was discharged on postoperative 1 th day.

Tuberculous peritonitis is a rare cause of intra-abdominal infection. Although sometimes asymptomatic, most of the patients have fever, weight loss, abdominal pain, and edema. The diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis is difficult and sometimes delayed because of confusion of the disease with other illnesses and the non-specificity of signs and symptoms. Tuberculous peritonitis is examined with ultrasonography and computerized tomogram, but confirmed by biopsy or tuberculosis culture. Ascitic fluid is exudates with a lot of lymphocytes and elevated protein. Tuberculous peritonitis is treated successfully with isoniazid, rifampicin for one year, pyrazinamide for first 2 months and streptomycin for first one month. We experienced one case of tuberculous peritonitis with transudate of ascitic fluid, confirmed by biopsy using colonoscopy, and treated successfully.

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma is a very rare malignancy. To date, 51 cases have been reported, including 3 in pregnant women. Herein, we report magnetic resonance findings of a 31-year-old Korean woman (15 weeks and 3 days pregnant) with primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. On abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a mass was identified in the retroperitoneal area with a nodular lesion showing heterogeneous signal intensity and focal wall thickening on T1- and T2-weighted images. Exploratory laparotomy and tumor excision were performed. Histological examination revealed primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. The patient subsequently underwent total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and omentectomy for metastatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of both ovaries 15 months after her initial surgery.
