This experiment was carried out to investigate the changes in phospholipid and glycolipid of Kaesojoo and Kaesojoo added medicinal herbs during storage(30 days) at 4$^{\circ}C$and -18$^{\circ}C$. Two dogs with 12kg live weight(♀, The Korean Jindo dog Hy-breed, 11∼12 month) were slaughtered to obtain samples. The result obtained were as follows: The saturated fatty acids found in phospholipid of Kaesojoo were palmitic acid, stearic acid, myristic acid, while the unsaturated fatty acid found in phospholipid of Kaesojoo with medicinal herbs were palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidonic acid, while the unsaturated fatty acid were mostly oleic acid, increased during the period of storage. The saturated fatty acid found in glycolipid obtained from Kaesojoo were mostly oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. The saturated fatty acid obtained from Kaesojoo with medicinal herbs were palmitic acid, stearic acid, while the unsaturated fatty acid were mostly oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. The rates of changes in unsaturated and saturated fatty acid were higher at 4$^{\circ}C$ than that of -18$^{\circ}C$ during storage.

A 15 kg 6-year-old intact male Jindo dog with a history of a respiratory distress, hindlimb paralysis with necrosed skin of dorsal digit for three weeks was referred to Animal Medical Center, Chonbuk National University. Heartworm infection was identified by kit examination. In plain thoracic radiographs, dilated pulmonary arteries reverse D sign and focal interstitial pattern was compatible with heartworm infection and possible pulmonary thromboembolism. Abdominal radiographs showed poor serosal detail indicating fluid accumulation within peritoneal cavity. No evidence of musculoskeletal abnormalities was found. Ultrasonography presented focal wedge-shaped hyperechogenecity on the both poles of left kidney, weak or absent pulse on the distal to the external iliac artery as well as ascites and irregular liver margin. Multi-organ failure was strongly supposed by blood profile including leukocytosis, anemia, hemoglobinuria bililubinemia, hypoalbuminemia, imbalance of electrolytes, and increased hepatic and renal function values. Interestingly, the glucose level is remarkably lower in pelvic limb compared to thoracic limb. Suspected pulmonary thromboembolism, renal infarction and femoral arterial embolization causing hindlimb paralysis and dermatic necrosis were confirmed by 3D reconstructed CT imaging. Prior to taking a consideration of euthanasia, interventional radiology was experimentally attempted but failed due to not recovered from general anesthesia. Early and accurate diagnosis of thromboembolism is valuable and 3D reconstructed CT images might be very useful to show the correct way to treat effectively.

Phylogenetic relationships of Jeju dogs to other domestic and foreign dog breeds were assessed using mtDNA D-loop sequences. Neighbor-joining trees were constructed using complete sequences (970 bp excluding the tandem repeat region) determined for five Cheju, four Jindo, four Sapsaree, five Pungsan, two of each East and West Laika dogs (Canis familiaris), two gray wolves (Canis lupus) and two coyotes (Canis latrans) and also published complete sequences for dogs. Coyote sequences were used as outgroups. In addition, a total of 214 haplotypes of 598bp D-loop sequences from 30 dog breeds were collected from GenBank and used to investigate genetic structure of population. In the analyses of full D-loop sequence variation and the phylogenetic trees constructed by neighbor-joining method, neither haplotypes nor clades specific for any domestic dog breeds were observed. The inter-species sequence variation (4.51%) between domestic dogs and wolves was much higher than the intra-species sequence variation within domestic dogs (1.63%) and wolves (3.64%). The divergence of the dog and wolf occurred approximately 1~2 million years ago based on these values. The taxa of Jeju dog breed in the phylogenetic tree are clustered separately and intermingled with other taxa of breeds, suggesting that active crossbreeding of Jeju dogs with other domestic breeds.
