Background: Aortic arch (AA) branching patterns vary among different mammalian species. Most previous studies have focused on dogs, whereas those on raccoon dogs remain unexplored. Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe the AA branching pattern in raccoon dogs and compare their morphological features with those of other carnivores. Methods: We prepared silicone cast specimens from a total of 36 raccoon dog carcasses via retrograde injection through the abdominal aorta. The brachiocephalic trunk (BCT) branching patterns were classified based on the relationship between the left and right common carotid arteries. The subclavian artery (SB) branching pattern was examined based on the order of the four major branches: the vertebral artery (VT), costocervical trunk (CCT), superficial cervical artery (SC), and internal thoracic artery (IT). Results: In most cases (88.6%), the BCT branched off from the left common carotid artery and terminated in the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries. In the remaining cases (11.4%), the BCT formed a bicarotid trunk. The SB exhibited various branching patterns, with 26 observed types. Based on the branching order of the four major branches, we identified the main branching pattern, in which the VT branched first (98.6%), the CCT branched second (81.9%), the SC branched third (62.5%), and the IT branched fourth (52.8%). Conclusions: The AA branching pattern in raccoon dogs exhibited various branching patterns with both similarities and differences compared to other carnivores.

편측 수뇨관증과 수신증으로 내원한 개에서 편측성 신요관절제술을 시행하였다. 개복 시 유착조직이 신장의 안쪽 면에서부터 복대동맥 위까지 형성되어 있었으며, 등쪽안쪽면과 복대동맥 사이에 유착조직이 형성되어 있었다. 또한 좌측 난소가 신장의 꼬리쪽 극에 유착되어 있었다. 유착조직의 형성으로 인해 신장 동맥과 정맥을 구별하여 결찰하는 것이 불가능 하였기 때문에 신장의 안쪽면 두 곳에서 집단결찰을 시행한 후 유착조직을 신장의 안쪽면에서 분리하였다. 신장의 등쪽안쪽면과 복대동맥사이에 형성된 유착조직으로부터 신장을 분리하기 위해 유착조직을 절개해 나갈때 신장동맥의 절제로 인한 출혈이 발생하였다. 출혈의 원인은 복대동맥에서 분지되어 나온 신장동맥부위가 신장의 등쪽안쪽면과 유착이 되어있었기 때문에 신장의 안쪽면에 적용한 집단결찰에 신장동맥이 포함되지 못하였던 것으로 생각된다. 발생된 출혈은 절제된 신장동맥의 이중결찰과 전기소락기를 이용하여 멈추게 하였다. 본 증례를 통해, 신장이 주변복강 장기와 심하게 유착되어 신장 동, 정맥을 구별하여 결찰하기 힘든 경우 집단 결찰법을 선택할 수 있으며, 집단결찰법은 해부학적으로 신장 동, 정맥이 신장으로 들어가는 안쪽면 뿐만 아니라 유착이 형성된 신장의 모든 면에 선택적으로 적용되어야 한다고 생각한다.

배경: 고위험환자에서 대동맥 수술은 사망률 및 합병증 발생률이 높으며, 악성종양이 동반된 환자에서는 기대여명이 짧으므로 대동맥 수술의 필요성에 대해 의문을 가질 수 있다. 대동맥내 스텐트 그라프트의 삽입은 대동맥 수술에 비해 침습도가 떨어지며, 회복기간이 짧아 고위험 환자 및 악성종양 환자에게 고려될 수 있다. 특히, 경피적으로 삽입 가능한 스텐트 그라프트는 전신마취의 필요성이 없어 고위험 환자에서 더 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 7월부터 2007년 9월까지 근치적 절제술이 불가능한 악성종양을 가진 환자 또는 동반질환으로 인해 대동맥 수술시 합병증 발생의 위험도가 높은 12명의 환자에서 경피적으로 대동맥 스텐트 그라프트의 삽입이 시행되었다. 삽입의 적응증이 된 대동맥 질환은 복부대동맥류가 5례, 흉부대동맥류가 6례, 급성대동맥 박리증이 1례이었다. 동반질환으로 악성종양이 3례, 호흡기 질환이 6례, 고령 및 신경계 질환이 6례, 베체트 병이 1례, 만성 신부전증이 1례이었다. 결과: 전례에서 경피적으로 스텐트 그라프트의 삽입이 가능하였다. 이 중 4례에서 원내사망이 있었고, 추적관찰 기간 중 3례의 만기사망이 있었다. 원내사망 1례를 제외하고는 대동맥 질환으로 인한 사망은 없었다. 합병증으로는 경도의 뇌졸중이 1례가 발생하였으며, 급성 신부전증 및 허혈성 장괴사가 각각 2 및 1례에서 발생하였다. 그라프트 주위유출 (endoleak)은 스텐트 그라프트 삽입 직후 2명에서 경도의 1형의 주위유출이 관찰되었고, 2형 그라프트 주위유출이 1명에서 발견되었다. 외래추적기간 중 1명에서 새로운 1형의 그라프트 주위유출이 발생하였다. 결론: 고위험 환자 및 기대여명이 짧은 악성종양 환자의 대동맥 질환에서 경피적 스텐트 그라프트의 사용은 비교적 안전한 방법으로 고려해 볼만한 치료법이나, 아직 적응증이나 장기성적에 대해서는 더 논의가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

PURPOSE: In this study, we tried to find out what kind of exercise was more effective in sleep disorder by comparing melatonin in blood after applying low intensity with high intensity exercise to sleep disordered rats induced by experiment. METHODS: We used male Sprague-Dawley rats which were 8weeks old and weighted 300g. They were supplied with water and food without any restriction. We kept the room temperature at $25^{\circ}C$ and controld the length of day and night in 12 hours blocks, respectively. We divided the rats 60 into 2 groups. To one group we applied low intensity exercise, and to the other we applied high intensity exercise for 15minutes per day over a period of 4 weeks. We extracted the blood from abdominal aorta before, after exercise, moved into EDTA tube, performed centrifugation. We decanted the serum $200{\mu}l$ from the blood into microcentrifuge tube by samples and moved into polypropylene culture tubes with micro pipette. We split enzyme solution $50{\mu}l$ into the tubes with melatonin direct kits and make them react at $37^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. We split assay buffer $50{\mu}l$ into each tube and mixed melatonin tracer $50{\mu}l$ and melatonin antiserum $50{\mu}l$, respectively. After we made them react in room temperature, we decanted the superficial layer with a centrifuge and measured the activity for 1 minute by competitive method with ${\gamma}$-counter equipment. We draw a standard curve through logit-log graph with CPM(counts per minute) and counted the melatonin by B/B0. We conducted independent t-test to examine the homogeneous of melatonin value of before low-intensity and high-intensity exercise. We performed paired t-test to compare before and after low-intensity and high-intensity exercise, respectively. We carried out independent t-test to compare melatonin value after low-intensity and high-intensity exercise. Significance level was .05. RESULTS: The results were as follows; firstly melatonin was more increased in the group who was exposed to high intensity exercise when we compared before to after high and low intensity exercise, respectively. Secondly, high intensity exercise was more effective than low intensity exercise when we compared the two. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, secretion of melatonin which is the material of sleep improvement could be promoted by high intensity exercise. Low intensity exercise acted as a stress rather than improving sleep and had a negative effect on the secretion of melatonin because the melatonin was affected by stress.

The importance of thyroid hormones for the survival of rats in the cold is along-established fact. Hypothyroid animals are unable to survive in a cold environment. It was also reported that acute exposure of rats, guinea pigs and rabbits to cold produced an increased secretion of TSH and thereby thyroid hormone secretion within 10 to 30 min, but this increase of thyroid activity disappeared quite rapidly during warming. However, in human study no significant difference was found in the concentration of $T_4$, TSH and cortisol between summer and winter. But plasma $T_3$ concentration was increased significantly in winter in 56 adult men. On the other hand, it has been also known that catecholamines are important in the maintenance of body temperature of rat exposured to cold. Abundant evidences suggest that the sympathetic nervous system is involved in the activation of nonshivering thermogenesis and that thyroid hormone metabolism and secretion are influenced by catecholamines and consequently by the activity of the sympatheticadrenal system. Many of the metabolic effects of catecholamines are associated with an increase in the level of cAMP mediated through activation of adenylate cyclase which converts ATP to cAMP. Other studies have shown that thyroid hormones affect the amount of adenylate cyclase present in the adipose tissue. On the other hand. it was also reported that a particulate cAMP phosphodiesterase activity in fat cells was modulated by the action of thyroid hormones. The objective of the present study was to determine the interaction between thyroid activity and cyclic nucleotides during acute exposure to cold. Albino rats weighing around 200 g were used as the experimental animal. The room temperature group was kept at $25^{\circ}C$ and the cold-exposured group was kept at $4^{\circ}C$ for 1 week or 2 weeks. Each group was subdivided into three subgroups; control, KI, and MTU group. At the end of experiment the animals were etherized and blood was taken from abdominal aorta for $T_4,\;T_3$ and cyclic nucleotides. The determinations of $T_3,\;T_4$ and cyclic nucleotides were carried out with a radioimmunoassay(RIA) method. The results were summerized as followings. 1) A significant increase of thyroid weight was observed in rats exposured to cold for 2 weeks. Furthermore, in rats administered MTU while to exposure to cold the thyroid weight was also increased significantly. 2) After 2 weeks $T_3$ concentration in the plasma of cold-exposured rats was significantly increased in KI group and MTU group as well as in control group. On the contrary, after 2 weeks of cold exposure $T_4$ level was decreased in control group. 3) In the case of cyclic nucleotides, plasma cAMP was increased in the control group after 1 or 2 weeks of cold exposure. However, cAMP level in plasma was rather significantly decreased in KI group and MTU group as well as in control group.

The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of different dietary ratios of whole-crop corn silage and alfalfa hay on nitrogen (N) digestion, duodenal flow and metabolism across the portal-drained viscera (PDV) of growing beef steers, and to elucidate their relationships. Four steers (236${\pm}$7 kg BW) fitted with duodenal cannulae and chronic indwelling catheters into the portal and mesenteric veins and abdominal aorta were used in a 4${\times}$4 Latin square design. Animals were fed (at 12-h intervals) the 4 diets consisting of whole-crop corn silage (C) and alfalfa hay (A) in 80:20 (C8A2), 60:40 (C6A4), 40:60 (C4A6) and 20:80 (C2A8) ratios of which dietary crude protein (CP) was 10.5, 12.0, 13.5 and 15.0% of dry matter (DM), respectively. Feeding level was restricted to 95% of ad libitum intake to measure N digestion, blood flow and net flux of N across the PDV. Digestibility of DM and neutral detergent fiber and digestible energy intake linearly increased as the ratio of alfalfa hay increased. The N intake, duodenal flow and intestinal disappearance increased linearly with increasing alfalfa hay. Arterial and portal concentrations of ${\alpha}$-amino N showed a quadratic response to increasing levels of alfalfa hay and were the highest in steers fed the C6A4 diet. The net PDV release of ${\alpha}$-amino N and ammonia N increased linearly with increasing alfalfa hay, but urea N uptake by PDV did not differ among diets. As a percentage of apparently digested N in the total gut, net PDV release of ${\alpha}$-amino N linearly decreased from 66 to 48% with increasing alfalfa hay. Conversely, net PDV recovery of ${\alpha}$-amino N to intestinal N disappearance varied with increasing alfalfa hay accounting for 49, 50, 58 and 61% on C8A2, C6A4, C4A6 and C2A8 diets, respectively. Net PDV uptake of urea N, relative to apparently digested N, linearly decreased from 81 to 25% as alfalfa hay increased from 20 to 80% of DM intake. Considering PDV uptake of urea N, microbial efficiency and conversion of total tract digested N to PDV ${\alpha}$-amino N net supply, a diet consisting of 80% whole-crop corn silage and 20% alfalfa hay (10.5% CP) was the best, while considering the quantities of intestinal N disappearance and ${\alpha}$-amino N absorption, a diet of 20% whole-crop corn silage and 80% alfalfa hay (15% CP) would be preferred. The proportion of ${\alpha}$-amino N recovered by PDV relative to the intestinal N disappearance may vary with energy intake level of mixed forage diets.

본 연구는 십이지장내 생리 식염수와 0.01 N HCl을 주입했을때 내측 편도핵의 손상이 췌액 분비와 혈장 secretin 농도에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 44마리의 수컷 흰쥐를 사용하였다. 그 중 21마리의 흰쥐는 뇌정위 고정장치에 의해 내측 편도핵에 삽입된 전극을 통해 양측성으로 내측 편도핵을 파괴한 내측 편도핵 손상군이고, 나머지 23마리는 편도핵의 손상없이 동일한 수술 조작만을 가한 수술 대조군이다. urethan 마취후에 십이지장 근위부에 위치한 관을 통해 십이지장 내강에 0.01 N HCl 또는 생리 식염수(0.9% NaCl)를 0.18ml/min 속도로 주입하면서 20분간 췌액을 채취하였다. 췌액 체취후 복대동맥에서 채혈하여 혈장 secretin농도를 측정하였다. 내측 편도핵 손상군에서 십이지장내 생리 식염수는 물론 0.01 N HCl 주입에 의한 췌액량은 수술 대조군의 것보다 유의하게 감소하였다. 내측 편도핵 손상군의 췌액내 단백질량은 생리 식염수 주입시 수술대조군의 것보다 유의하게 감소하였고, 0.01 N HCI 주입시에는 유의하지는 않지만 감소한 경향을 보였다. 그러나 기초상태 및 염산 자극에 의한 혈장 secretin 농도는 내측 편도핵의 손상에 의하여 아무런 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 내측 편도핵은 기초 상태 및 염산 자극에 의한 췌액의 분비에 촉진적 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각되나, secretin 분비기전이 이 촉진 영향에 관련되는 것으로는 보이지 않는다.

Magnolia obovata exhibit several beneficial effects including anti-oxidant effects. Magnolia obovata is used as a therapeutic agent to stop hemorrhages and a tonic to promoted health in Korean and Chinese medicine. The pharmacokinetic profiles of the main Magnolia obovata is still not accurately investigated. In present study, I examined the effects of water extracts of Magnolia obovata on atherosclerosis induced high cholesterol diet in rats in serum and abdominal aorta. A total of 3-week old 9 male rats of Sprague-Dawley were divided into 3 groups and fed with the basal diet (normal group), high cholesterol diet (atherosclerosis induced group) for 8 weeks, high cholesterol diet supplemented with water extracts of Magnolia obovata (Magnolia obovata group) for 2 weeks. And rats were sacrificed, serum lipid level, abodominal aortic anti-oxidant activities and lipid peroxide were measured. These results indicated that serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides concentration significantly lower in Magnolia obovata group than high cholesterol diet group. But HDL-cholesterol concentration had significantly higher in Magnolia obovata group than high cholesterol diet group. In conclusion, Magnolia obovata controls of lipid level of hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia, thus suppresses the proliferation of intima in endothelial cells, which is risk factors of atherosclerosis induced high cholesterol diet in rats. I consider as Magnolia obovata is worth to using as atherosclerosis treatment.

In recent reports, the multiple reproductive defects such as cryptorchidism, hypospadias, epididymal cysts, low sperm counts, and testicular cancers are increased in humans, and these changes were doubted by the chemicals with estrogenic or antiandrogenic activities in our environment. To compare the effects of neonatal exposure of di (n-butyl) phthalate and flutamide on the development of reproductive organs and to identify the specific mechanisms of these abnormalities related to the male reproducton, Sprague-Dawley neonate male rats were injected subcutaneously during 5-14 days after birth with corn oil (control), flutamide (0.05, 0.1, and 0.5 mg/animal) and DBP (5, 10, and 20 mg/animal). Animals were killed at 31 (immature) and 42 (pubertal) days of age respectively and blood was collected from abdominal aorta for serum testosterone analysis. Testes, epididymides, seminal vesicles, ventral prostate, levator ani plus bulbocavernosus muscle (LABC), cowpers glands and glans penis were weighed. Expression of steroid hormone receptors (AR and ER) was examined in the testes and ventral prostate. At 31 days of age, ventral prostate, seminal vesicles, LABC, and cowpers glands significantly decreased in the flutamide (0.5 mg/animal) and DBP (20 mg/animal), but serum testosterone levels were not changed. Flutamide slightly delayed the testes descent at the high dose (0.5 mg/animal), but DBP did not show any significant effect on the testes descent at all doses. DBP and flutamide decreased the expression of AR protein in the testes but did not affect the expression of ERa and ER protein in the testes. At 42 days of age, ventral prostate, seminal vesicles, and cowpers glands weights were still significantly decreased at the high dose of flutamide (0.5 mg/animal) and DBP (20 mg/animal), but the weights of testes and epididymides were not different. Serum testosterone decreased significantly in DBP treated animals and slightly, not significantly, in flutamide group. While DBP still significantly decreased the expression of AR protein in testis, flutamide recovered from downregulation of AR protein and did not affect the expression of ERa and ER protein in the testes. Based on these results, flutamide and DBP have shown several similar patterns in reproductive abnormalitis, but some marked differences which may be caused by different acting mechanism.
