Some pharmacological activities of acanthoic acid, isolated from Acanthopanax koreanum root was investigated in animals. It is revealed that the compound had analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities without actions on central nervous system and showed inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The anti-inflammatory activity might be related to inhibition of prostaglandin E$_2$ synthesis in exudates of inflammation.

A bacteriological survey was made for the aerabic Actinonmycetes from the vaginal exudates of apparently healthy dairy cows in Gyeongbug area. One hundred twenty isolated were made from 1,328 cows. Among them 30 isolates (25%) were identified as Nocardia asteriodes, 4 (3.3%) as Nocaradia brasiliensis, and 2 (1.7%) as Nocardia madurae. The remaining 84 isolates (70%) were identified as Streptomyces species.

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production is a typical mechanism of plant growth promotion by some rhizobacteria. However, a functional genomic study is necessary to unravel the function and mechanism of IAA signaling during rhizobacteria-plant interactions. In this study, the expression of SlIAA1 and SlIAA9 among the auxin response genes in tomato was examined during the interaction between IAA-producing Acinetobacter guillouiae SW5 and tomato plants. When 3-day grown tomato seedlings were treated for 30 min with 10~100 µM of IAA produced by bacteria from tryptophan, the relative mRNA levels of SlIAA1 and SlIAA9 increased significantly compared with those of the control, demonstrating that IAA produced by this bacterium can induce the expressions of both genes. Inoculation of live A. guillouiae SW5 to tomato seedlings also increased the expressions of SlIAA1 and SlIAA9, with more mRNA produced at higher bacterial density. In contrast, treatment of tomato seedlings with dead A. guillouiae SW5 did not significantly affect the expression of SlIAA1and SlIAA9. When 3-day bacterial culture in tomato root exudates was administered to tomato seedlings, the relative mRNA level of SlIAA1 increased. This result indicated that the plant may take up IAA produced by bacteria in plant root exudates, which may increase the expression of the auxin response genes, with resulting promotion of plant growth.

Crocodile farms are getting popular in Bangladesh in an economic point of view. In one of the farms, some crocodiles were found sick and three of them died between May and July in 2006. This investigation was performed to diagnose the cause of the death. Routine postmortem examination was conducted. Samples were collected in 10% neutral buffered formalin for histopathology and in falcon tube for microbiological study. Additional swabs were collected in nutrient broth. Histopathological and microbiological studies were conducted using routine procedures. In addition Giemsa, Gram and PAS stains were performed to detect the organism in tissues. Grossly, esophagus, trachea, lungs, liver, spleen, heart and kidney were congested. Intestine, rectum and colon were hemorrhagic. Clay colored material was found in colo-rectum. Purulent exudates in lungs and thick and cloudy pericardial fluid in pericardial sac were found. Histologically, multifocal granulomatous inflammation was evident in lung, liver, kidney, intestine and colon with bacterial colonies, fungal spores and hyphae. These bacteria were appeared as Gram negative. Fungal hyphae and spores were detected in liver, lungs and colon by using PAS stain. Bacteriologically, E. coli were isolated from lungs exudates, pericardial fluids and intestinal fluids. Therefore, it can be concluded that 3 crocodiles died due to E. coli septicemia concurrent with mycotic infection.

Transparency and insolubility of eardrum patch against exudates are important for otolaryngological surgery. The author prepared silk fibroin (SF) films with various concentrations and temperature and then examined solubility and conformation of SF films. SF films were transparent regardless of the various preparation conditions. Although most SF films are soluble in 1X PBS solution at $37^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, the SF film with 3.4% with $60^{\circ}C$ was insoluble. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the SF films have solid and smooth surface. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed that the conformation of SF films was influenced by the preparation conditions including SF concentration and casting temperature. In conclusion, SF membrane with transparence and insolubility against exudates could be considered as eardrum patch resources.

The pneumonic lungs of 51 pigs, from which the presence of pasteurella organisms was confirmed by bipolar staining, were examined pathologically. The numbers of pigs in each age group were 22 (43.1%) in 3-4 month group, 20 (39.2%) in 1-2 month group, 7 (13.7%) in 5-6 month group, and 2 (4.0%) in group of more than one year. The lungs of 16 pigs which were regarded as pasteurella pneumonia without any other manifestations were studied pathogically. Grossly, the affected lungs showed pulmonary edema, lobular consolidation and interlobular edema. Pigs over 3 months of age frequently showed chronic condition in which the entire lobe was involved as confluent pneumonia. In such pneumonic lungs, infarction and focal necrosis of the lung parenchyma and deposition of fibrinous exudate on the pleura were encountered. Histologically, the alveolar spaces were filled with fibrinous and leukocytic exudates. The interlobular septae showed marked edema and fibrinous exudate. The process of organization was frequently observed in chronic cases.

Objectives : The purpose of this report is to know the effect of Korean medicine treatments on Allergic Contact Dermatitis. Methods : We treated a 63-years-old man patient with Allergic Contact Dermatitis on the left medial calf with Korean medicine. After Korean medical treatment for 26 days, we identified a reduction in size of erythema and loss of color fading, exudates and edema. We recorded pictures of changes on symptoms. Results & Conclusions : The symptoms of Allergic Contact Dermatitis were improved. Erythema, edema, exudate were lost. Thus Korean medicine treatments are effective on allergic contact dermatitis.

A case of multiple myeloma with massive pleural effusion is reported. A 53 year-old previous known multiple myeloma patient vistited our hospital complaining of cough with sputum. Radiologic study revealed multiple osteolytic bony lesions and left side pleural effusion. The effusion were bloody exudates containing numerous atypical plasma cells. The tumor cells showed pleomorphism, eccentric nuclei, prominent nucleoli, perinuclear halo, multincleation, and chromatin patterns of occasional cart-wheel appearance. The cytological examination of pleural fluid established the malignant nature of the effusion with multiple myeloma.

This report describes a case of severe and prolonged dermatophytosis in a hedgehog that was diagnosed by PCR-RFLP, a rapid and usefulness technique for identification of many causative agents and hereditary characters. A 5-month-old female hedgehog was presented with grade 2 facial pruritus, scaling, encrustation and hemorrhage. Cytology of exudates on the face showed a suspected fungal infection. A culture and tape imprint test of the cultured colony showed many hyphae and microcornidia, suspected to belong to the Trichophyton species. In the PCR-RFLP with MvaI and Hinf I, Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. erinacei was finally identified as a causative agent. The patient completely recovered after application of nystatin cream for 17 days.
