A seven-year old female captive Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) was mobbed by its cage mates and subsequently died due to trauma. An incidental finding of multiple biliary cystadenoma in the liver is herein reported. Grossly, multiple small cysts were observed throughout the surface of the liver. One particular cyst that measured $1.3\times1.2\times1.0cm$ and contained mucinous fluid was observed in the center of the liver. Microscopically the cysts were lined by biliary epithelium that varied from simple cuboidal to columnar cells. Signs of malignancy and metastasis to other organs were not observed. This is the first report of biliary cystadenoma in Japanese macaque.

배롱나무는 메마른 봄을 이기고 무더운 여름 장대비를 거뜬히 이겨내고 꽃이 없는 한더위에 능소화와 함께 꽃이 핀다. 능소화는 장마가 시작되면 꽃피기를 멈추나 배롱나무는 초여름부터 이른 가을까지 100일정도 까지 꽃이 계속해서 핀다 하여 백일홍이라 부르기도 한다. 한 개의 꽃이 100일동안 피어 있는 것이 아니라 한 뼘 이상 되는 원추상의 꽃차례를 이루어 여러 개의 꽃이 차례로 피는 것이다. 중국이 원산다. 가까운 일본에서도 ‘사루스 베리’라고 부르는데 원숭이가 미끄러지는 나무라는 뜻이다. 나무껍질이 하도 미끄러워 나무를 잘 타는 원숭이도 미끄러진다는 그런 뜻이다.

진한 주홍색의 영롱한 색을 발하여 멀리서도 관상할 수 있는 꽃이 100일 이상 계속된다고 하여 흔히 백일홍이라 불리운다. 수피도 모과나무처럼 얼룩이 져 원숭이도 미끄러진다는 일본명을 가지고 있을 만큼 아름답다. (중략)

Two cases of stomach mass and one case of tongue mass were observed in Japanese monkeys(Macaca fuscata) which were raised in Yong-in Farm Land. Histologically, two spontaneous tumors were found in the cardiac region of the stomach and were diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. These tumors had invaded the submucosa, muscular layer and serosa, but metastasis was not found in the other tissues including the lymph node. One spontaneous tongue mass was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma.

There was a mass outbreak of death caused by transport stress and malnutrition in Japanese macaques imported from Japan at a farm stock in Korea, which were diagnosed on the ground of history taking, clinical finding, hematological examination and necropsy. Twenty eight Japanese macaques imported from Japan died suddenly from the 4th day after arrival in a farm. These animals were confined very small cages individually and lose the appetite for 10 days from shipping. Main clinical findings observed from alive Japanese macaques consisted of hypothermia and dehydration. On hematological observation for typical 4 cases showed increased erythrocytes and packed cell volume. On serum biochemical examination for 3 cases showed hypoglycemia, whereas blood urea nitrogen, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were increased. On necropsy for 3 cases, hemorrhage and congestion were observed on the lung and the walls of stomach and intestine were thinned. Histologically, hemorrhagic pneumonia and enteritis with loss of villi were seen. The death of these animal was caused by poor management during transport, which was resulted in transport stress and malnutrition.

Hematological and serum biochemical values were assessed from 20 clinically healthy Japanese Macaques raised in Everland Zoological Gardens and compared to the International Species Information System (ISIS) reference range that is used internationally as standard for wildlife animals. Taking our standard on sexual maturation at age 4, tRBC values in Macaques under age 4 were significantly lower than those over age 4, but the Hb and PCV values were significantly higher. Compared to the ISIS standard, the tRBC values in Macaques under age 4 were significantly lower whereas the Hb and MCHC values were significantly higher. Moreover, in the samples of Macaques over age 4, the PCV and MCV values were significantly lower than the ISIS standard. On serum biochemistry values the creatinine and amylase values in the Macaques under age 4 were significantly lower than those over age 4. In comparison with the ISIS standard, the values of ALT, ALP, BUN, IP, $Ca^{2+}$ and $K^+$ in the Macaques under age 4 did have no significant difference. The values of TP, GGT, tBil, amylase, TG and UA were significantly higher than the ISIS standard, but the values of albumin, AST, glucose, creatinine, cholesterol, CPK, LDH, $Na^+$ and Clwere significantly lower. In contrast, the values of TP, albumin, ALT, ALP, creatinine, cholesterol, amylase, TG, IP and $Na^+$ in the Macaques over age 4 did have no significant difference, but the values of GGT, BUN, tBil, UA and $Ca^{2+}$ were significantly higher, while the values of AST, glucose, CPK, LDH, $K^+$ and $Cl^-$ were significantly lower. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in hematological and serum biochemical values between the groups of male and female.
