The purpose of this research is to reveal the antimicrobial activity of pet-dog clothes by investigating the bacteria resistance of 4 kinds of pet-dog clothes materials. 1. Investigation Results of Pet-Dog Clothes 64.7% of 150 survey participants, revealed they had pet-dog clothes. Hand laundering was 67.0%, while the laundering of both human and animal clothes was 9.2%. The greatest washing frequency was once every 2 weeks. So, the subjects didn't seem to think high of hygienic matters. Even though no if any relations were reported by 34.7% of the subjects, there were some experiences like sneezing or coughing (41.3%), slight itching (20.7%), and acute skin allergies. There were such hugging methods as heart to heart to the center (22.7%), face to face and around the mouth (16.7%), and below the heart with the dog's face outward (15.3%). Thus, hugging the dog near the pet-lover's face seems to be the cause of respiratory diseases including sneezes and coughs. 2. Results of the Anti-Bacteria Experiment of Pet-Dog Clothes Materials According to the analysis of the germs collected and cultured in this study to reveal the properness of pet-dog clothes materials, they were bacteria or bacilli in shapes. Spore growth was active in the order of such experimental materials as artificial leather > cotton > cotton/ nylon > polyester (finest thread). In terms of germ groups, the order was polyester(finest thread) > cotton > cotton/ nylon > artificial leather.

A one year old spayed female Bichon Frise dog presented with gait abnormalities and seizure. Serum biochemical results showed elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, and ammonia. Serum bile acid level was also increased to be over 30 μmol/L on preprandial. Urinalysis identified the presence of ammonium urate crystal. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT revealed aberrant, tortuous, and multiple small vessels connected to the caudal vena cava between left kidney and caudal vena cava. Macroscopic specific findings associated with extrahepatic congenital portosystemic shunts (PSS) or other liver diseases were not identified. Liver biopsy was performed. Histopathologic evaluation revealed hepatic lobular hypoplasia with portal arterial duplication and vascular shunts. Based on these finding, this case was diagnosed as multiple acquired PSS secondary to hepatic microvascular dysplasia (HMD) and hepatic encephalopathy. A liver biopsy is recommended to differentiate HMD from other liver diseases and to confirm HMD when a young dog has multiple acquired PSS.

Objectives Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days is one of Oriental medical prophylaxis to prevent winter diseases over the summer. The research has been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days. Methods We visited one kindergarten in Dog-Days of 2011, and the subjects were 72 children (38 boys, 34 girls, $58.24{\pm}12.28$ months, 37-105 months). 72 children were attached Socheongo to BL-13, BL-15, BL-17 for 4-6 hours. Exacerbating effect or non-improvement in respiratory symptoms before and after the treatment were nullified. Results 31 children (43.1%) have shown positive effect in Socheongo, with no significant differences among the groups. There were significant improvements in Socheongo group in frequency of having cold, duration and visits; duration under tonsillitis, frequency of having otitis media, duration and visits (P<0.05). Lung weak score also had significant decrease in the three times Socheongo group, from $11.27{\pm}5.61$ to $9.90{\pm}4.66$ (P=0.030). Side effects has been reported in Socheongo group; 7 erythema (9.7%), 2 heating (2.8%), 9 pruritis (12.5%), 2 vesicle (2.8%), 13 scar (18.1%). Conclusions Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days improves lung weak symptoms such as common cold, tonsilitis, and otitis media in children older than three years old, throughout the three times of the treatment. However, the ways to reduce the side effects are needed.

A 6-year-old, castrated male Shih-tzu dog was presented due to left side facial paralysis with head tilt. Neurological examination revealed absence of facial sensation, menance response, and palpebral reflex on the left side. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), intracranial intra-arachnoid cyst (IIAC) was noted. The dog was poor response to steroid and dieuretic therapy. Based on characteristic historical and clinical findings, and excluding of other causes of acute facial nerve dysfunction, the dog was tentatively diagnosed as idiopathic facial paralysis. The clinical signs were improved gradually after acupuncture therapy with bee venom. Eight weeks after initial acupuncture with bee venom, the patient recovered sensory and neurological facial signs. This case report demonstrates that bee venom acupuncture for an idiopathic facial paralysis could be useful in a dog.

A 9-month-old, intact female Maltese dog and one-year-old, intact female beagle dog were presented with continuous heart murmur. These 2 dogs were diagnosed as patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) based on the two-dimensional echocardiography and angiography. Due to the large shunt size, commercially available ductal occlude device was used for transcatheter occlusion of PDA. After Amplatzer$^{(R)}$ vascular plug placement, cardiac murmur was abruptly disappeared in Maltese dog and mildly decreased in beagle dog. Complications and safety after the procedure were evaluated regularly in these 2 dogs. This is first clinical application of Amplatzer$^{(R)}$ vascular plug for transcatheter closure of PDA in two dogs in Korea.
