A 7-year-old, intact female Jindo dog was presented for assessment of weight-bearing lameness of the right hindlimb. On physical examination, crepitus and pain was noted in the right coxofemoral joint upon extension. Radiographs revealed a craniodorsal luxation of the right coxofemoral joint and degenerative joint disease (DJD) of both coxofemoral joints. Total hip replacement (THR) was performed for the right coxofemoral joint. Intraoperatively, dorsal acetabular rim (DAR) deficiency was noted, which can be related to a high risk for acetabular cup implant dislocation. Deficiency of the dorsal acetabular rim realigned with the acetabular cup using universal locking plate (ULP) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement. After surgery, the patient had an uneventful course and a successful outcome. The ROM and thigh girth were dramatically improved. There were no complications associated with prosthesis implants. Hip luxation with dorsal acetabular rim deficiency in a dog was successfully repaired with THR and dorsal acetabular rim augmentation using ULP and PMMA bone cement. This technique should be considered when conventional THR is precluded by dorsal acetabular rim deficiency.

Purpose : Marrow edema and fatty degeneration of the hip joint bones could be initial and late signs in hip joint and its bone diseases respectively, which might be differentiated from age-related marrow conversion pattern. So authors have investigated normal marrow conversion pattern of the femur and acetabulum around the hip joints. Materials and methods : Three coronal MR images of 288 hip joint bones in 144 subjects, aged 2 days to 76 years divided to 8 groups every 10 years, were retrospectively analysed for the location and appearance of the converted yellow marrow. The converted yellow marrow were divided to head, neck, and trochanter in the proximal femur and below and above 50% in acetabulum of the hip. Results : The most common type of marrow conversion is the converted yellow marrow in the entire proximal femur and below 50% of acetabulum of the hip. We observed the start of marrow conversion in just before and after 2 years old and stopped at just before and after 20 years old. Conclusion : The understanding of age-related marrow conversion pattern of the hip joint bones would provide some information for differentiation from pathologic condition of them such as edema, fatty degeneration, metastasis, or leukemia.

The results of surgical repair for pelvic factures in 31 dogs were reviewed. Lameness and weight bearing scores were used to evaluate functional recovery of the hind limbs. Simple fracture occurred in sacroiliac joint (n = 5) and ilium (n = 3). Pelvic fractures had acetabular (n = 7) and non-acetabular fractures (n = 23). Acetabular fracture cases were composed of additional surgical treatments with femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHNO) (n = 4) and only acetabular rim fixation (n = 3). Simple fractures had more rapid initial and complete recovery times than multiple fractures. Non-acetabular fracture cases (initial recovery time: 2.7 weeks, complete recovery time: 9.1 weeks) had more rapid initial and complete recovery times than acetabular fracture cases (8.4, 12.5 weeks) (p < 0.05). In addition, the cases of additional surgical treatment with FHNO (5.3, 7 weeks) had more rapid mean recovery times than surgical treatment without FHNO (11.1, 16.3 weeks). Surgical approach with FHNO in acetabular fracture was an alternative method to treat pelvic fractures in small breed dogs.

This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of direct application of quenched slag, as a silicate fertilizer byproduct of iron and steel industry. A field experiment was conducted on a low silica content paddy soil and its effect was compared to over corresponding air-cooled slag of milled commercial silicate fertilizer on rice plant growth and yields. The yields of rice were slightly higher in the commercial air-cooled slag than in the quenched slag, however, there was no significant statistical difference. The silica content of rice plants at harvest was higher in commercial silicate fertilizer than that of quenched slag. The available soil silica was high in quenched slag at the early growing stage, however, at harvest higher in air-cooled slag, which meant that the quenched slag might release silica quickly in soil. This results indicated that the slag could be considered resource as a silicate fertilizer.

To investigate the effects of paper sludge on the growth response of paddy rice, paper sludge was applied to pots at the rate of either 300, 600, 900 or 1,200 kg/l0a which was either preadjusted at a C/N ratio of 30 : 1 or not adjusted. The effects were compared with those of the control. 1. Plant heights, number of tillers and dry weight were significantly reduced with the increasing application of paper sludge in the early stages of rice growth, whereas opposite results were observed after the heading stage when treated with C/N ratio preadjusted paper sludge. 2. The uptake of $N,P_2O_5,K_2O$ and $SiO_2$ by rice plants grown in paper sludge treated soil was significantly reduced in the early stages of rice growth. Conversely, uptake was enhanced in the C/N ratio preadjusted plot in the young panicle formation stage. 3. Zn, Cu and Cd content in rice straw was in the range of $39{\sim}101$, $0{\sim}0.11$ and $0.03{\sim}0.14ppm$, respectively, and Pb and Cr in rice straw were not detected at all. However, there was no difference in the content of all these heavy metals in rice straw irrespective of treatment.

This survey was performed to investigate the actual holding conditions of the electric tools, gas tools and small cooking tools in the four Korean big cities; Seoul, Pusan, Kwangju and Taejon. The results were as follows; 1. Each family had more than 8 items on the average, of 24 kinds of electric tools under investigation. The holding ratio of refrigerators was the highest (99.6%), and that of dish washers was the lowest (3.4%). 2. The holding ratio of gas-ranges was the highest(92.2%) and that of gas-ovens was the lowest (2.2%) of 4 kinds of gas tools under investigation. 3. Each family had more than 45 items on the average, of 86 kinds of small cooking tools under investigation. The holdings ratios of openers and wicker baskets were very high (98.2% and 96.6%, respectively), and those of noodle tools and Shinsonros were very low (13.8% and 13.6%, respectively). 4. The holding ratios of various kinds of cooking tools had interrelations with the size of city, housewife's educational background, family income, house style, private residence, etc.
