This study attempts to examine the relationships between the major market-based media and the government after closing military regime era, 1961-1987. After the military regime was collapsed, while the mass media in Korea obtained independence and autonomy from government, they have been confronted with the terrible competition not so much comparatively as before. The watchdog role in the traditional liberalism, which is regarded as normative relationship between the media and the government would be transformed in accordance with the market condition and the maturity of democracy. Thus, the watchdog metaphor has been variously deviated in rower-centered society; lap dog, guard dog, attack dog. liberalists argue that the primary democratic role of the media is to art as a public watchdog overseeing the state. Social democrats, however, criticize them as simplistic conception which could be only applied to the government. They argue that the media should be seen as a source of redress against the abuse of all forms of power over others; the home, the economy, and the civil society. The lap dog view is that the media is overwhelmingly dependent on the established power structure contrary to the watchdog. While the guard dog perspective is a means to preserve the power structure alarming with playing 'conflict role', the attack do8 aims to the private interest of the media in intruding into the politics. The attack dog perspective by T. Patterson could be composed of the interpretive style of report, the game schema report over the policy schema in the election, and the negativism against politics and government. The market-dominant press has been likely to transform from lap-guard dog into attack-guard dog. In Roh Tae Woo government(1988-1992), while the press was a lessened lap-guard dog before three parties merger in 1990, after merger the press had been transformed as the reinforced lap-guard dog because this merger entailed joint, party-to-party negotiations, and the formation of the new party preceded by dissolution of the ruling blot. In the early stage of Kim Young Sam government(1993-1997), the press has kept in pace with the reform movement drive-forced by the government. However, the press withdrew the support of Kim's reform in reaching the level of threat to ruling bloc. The press coalesced only circumstantially with government and was interested in preserving some margin of independence. The failure of Kim's reform proved the political muscle of the press in post-autho-ritarianism. In the middle stage of Kim Dae Jung government (1998-) that resulted in the shift of power structure as once-opposition party leader, the stress has been a manifested attack-guard dog owing to the anti-cold war policy, the realignment policy of power, and the minority-base of Kim's government. The press has endeavored to hold political communication within limits relatively less threatening to the established order.

We present the case of a 49-year-old man with a dog bite on his right index finger at the mid-phalanx level. The finger was severely contaminated by the dog bite but, the amputation margin was clean. We replantated the stump. His finger was recovered very successfully 12 months later. It is recommended that in these types of cases, replantation of the severed finger should proceed even if the amputated finger was contaminated by the dog bite, unless there are other factors that prevent replantation.

A 3 years-old male Tosa dog was referred to Seoul National University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital with a history of difficulty in mastication. Clinical signs of dropped jaw, drooling, mild depression and dehydration were observed. According to history taking, physical examination, neurologic examination, complete blood count (CBC), serum chemical profile and radiography, the dog was diagnosed as idiopathic trigeminal nerve paralysis. Electroacupuncture treatment was applied to the dog on local and distal point at an interval of 7 days. Local points were GB-1 (Tong Zi Liao) of gall bladder meridian and ST-7 (Xia Guan) of stomach meridian. Distal points were PC-4 (Xi Men), PC-6 (Nei Guan) of pericardium meridian. Electrical stimulus was performed for 20 minutes at the frequency of 3 Hz, 3 Volts on ST-7. Ten days after the initial electroacupuncture treatment, clinical signs related to trigeminal nerve paralysis were almost disappeared.

An 11 kg, 7-year-old male pug dog with lameness and tumor of the 2-3rd interdigital portion of the right forelimb was referred to the Veterinary Medical Center of the Tokyo University. On the clinical examination findings, the tumor size was $3{\times}3 cm but alopecia and necrosis were not found. On the radiological findings, a bone lysis was found in the phalanges of digit II of the right forelimb but pulmonary metastasis was not found. The mass was removed with metacarpal bone. Histopathological examination of the mass revealed highly differentiated hemangiopericytoma. Two weeks after the operation, the dog was irradiated by orthovoltage radiation. The source of irradiation was 300 kV, 4mA, 4Gy and a focal spot to skin distance of 40 cm using 1.0 Cu, 1.0Al filter. The radiation therapy was performed twice a week for 5 weeks. The dog showed no recurrence and no metastasis. It was thought that the surgery and radiation therapy treatment was quite a useful method to treat a canine heman-giopericytoma.

A 2.5 kg, three-month-old. intact male Shih-tzu was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Kyungpook National University to examine the postoperative inflammation and suspected diaphragmatic defect which had been found during the surgical correction of umbilical hernia by the referral veterinarian. An umbilical hernia had been surgically repaired one month earlier at the time. Radiographic findings were enlarged cardiac silhouette containing soft tissue and gas densities and overlapping of cardiac and diaphragmatic borders. Ultrasonographic findings revealed the discontinuity of the diaphragm and the partial herniation of the liver into the pericardial sac. According to these findings, it was diagnosed as congenital peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia(PPDH). Because the dog showed no serious clinical signs of PPDH and the owner didn't want a surgery to correct it, the dog was discharged the day of the examination after treatment of the inflammatory surgical site. On the follow-up after three months, the dog showed no distinct clinical signs of PPDH and was in good physical condition.

An eight-year old neutered male miniature pinscher dog was referred with a mass on the right frontal region. Radiography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination were performed. Imaging results showed mineralized mass invaded frontal bone without brain parenchymal change and distant metastasis. The mass was removed mostly by surgical resection, and the dog was discharged without any complications. On the histopathological examination, the mass was diagnosed as grade I multilobular osteochondrosarcoma. Though the mass recurred after the surgical resection, the dog is still alive to date without metastasis.

This report describes a dog infected with Hepatozoon canis, the first canine infection in the Republic of Korea. A 2-year-old intact male Maltese dog presented with anorexia and depression. Physical examinations revealed mild dehydration and hyperthermia ($39.8^{\circ}C$), and blood analysis showed pancytopenia. Diff-Quik staining of blood smear specimens showed the presence of ellipsoidal shaped structures (gamonts of H. canis) within a small number of neutrophils. Real-time PCR analysis using whole blood confirmed infection by H. canis. The clinical condition of the dog improved after symptomatic treatment and administration of doxycycline. Although a molecular epidemiologic survey in Korea showed H. canis infection of dogs, to our knowledge this is the first report of a dog infection in Korea molecularly shown to be H. canis.

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is a relatively common eye disease in the dog, Reduction or arrest of aqueous tear production by lacrimal glands results in quantitative alteration of the precorneal tear film (PTF) and KCS may result. A dog with a presumptive diagnosis of KCS referred was used for the study of KCS. Cytological and histopathologic examination is performed, and the various types of medical and surgical treatment are studied, including the operation of parotid duct transposition (PDT). This report described unilateral KCS in a dog of unknown etiology who responded to PDT.
