Radiograph and serum activities were investigated in six dogs with experimental portal vein branch ligation. Operative mesenteric portography showed the incomplete portal vein circulation due to ligation of portal vein branch. Several serum enzyme activities were measured after portal vein branch ligation. Albumin and total protein were decreased following the time. Others were increased. In microscopic findings, hepatocellular necrosis and haemorrhage were identified in midzone and centrilobular zone. And reverse lobulation pattern was found in dogs with portal vein branch ligation.

This study was performed to examine the distribution of carrier state of dermatophytes in dogs and cats in Korea and the pathogenicity of the isolates. During the period from November, 1984 to October, 1985, 563 mongrel dogs and 458 cats on the animal mar

Changes in the cardiovascular and bispectral index score were evaluated in dogs subjected to constant rate infusion (CRI) with alfaxalone. Fifteen dogs were assigned to three groups of 5. Groups and doses of alfaxalone were as follows: group 1, 3 mg/kg for induction and 6 mg/kg/h for CRI; group 2, 3 mg/kg for induction and 8 mg/kg/h for CRI; and group 3, 3 mg/kg for induction and 10 mg/kg/h for CRI. CRI was maintained for 1 h. Respiratory rates and blood pressures showed minimal changes; however, mild tachycardia and mild hypoxemia occurred, especially in group 3. There were some disparities between bispectral index score, electromyography and pedal withdrawal reflex test when measuring anesthetic depth. Additional premedications and/or analgesic agents would be helpful to avoid adverse effects of alfaxalone and provide improved cardiopulmonary functions.

The acute toxicity study of MBRI-98304, a new Hepatitis B virus (HBV) immunotherapeutic agent, was performed in Sprague-Dawley rats (7 weeks old) and Beagle dogs (4 months old). MBRI-98304 was injected intramuscularly at a single dosage of 0, 20, 100, 500, 2, 500, and 12, 500 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg in rats and 0, 200, 1, 000, and 5, 000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg in Beagle dogs for 2 weeks daily. There were no deaths or clinical signs.(omitted)

The present study was carried out to observe the histological changes of the parenchymal organs of the rats, rabbits and dogs intramuscularly injected with Rompun. The results observed are snmmarized as follows; The hematologic changes of the rabbits and dogs administered with Rompun were a pronounced decrease in erythrocytes and leucocytes. The percentage of lympocytes was decreased, while that of neutrophils was increased. There were severe hyperemia of spleen, hyperemia and extention of the central vein of the liver, centrilobular degeneration of liver, hyperemia and hemorrhage of the kidney, necrosis and hydropic degeneration of renal tubule, hyperemia of pulmonary alveolar septa and pulmonary edema. and in the cases injected with Rompun and histamine or pentothal sodium at the same time, the microscopical findings described above were more conspicuous than the cases injected with Rompun alone.

An acute enteric diseases accompanied with vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, pyrexia, dehydration and high mortality has occured in dogs throughout the country since June, 1981 in Korea. According to epidemiological and clinico-pathological studies on the total of 44 dogs admitted to the animal clinic in the college, the cases were tentatively diagnosed as a viral enteritis and the possibility of canine parvovirus as the etiological agent for the cases was discussed.

The present study was undertaken to obtain the basic knowledge on the distribution of intestinal microflora and characterization of Bifidobacterium isolated from the intestine of cattle, pigs, chicken and dogs. Bacteroidaceae and Streptococcus were isolated from the feces of cattle as predominant organisms, and Bifidobacterium was in counts of $8.65{\pm}0.21$ log 10 organisms. Bacteroidaceae, Eubacterium and Peptococcaceae counts on the feces of pigs were particularly high, but Bifidobacterium did not isolated. In hens and dogs, the counts of Bifidobacterium were $7.60{\pm}0.71$ and $8.15{\pm}2.04$ log 10 organism, respectively. Isolated 7 Bifidobacterial strains were identified respectively to B. thermophilum from cattle, B. pullorum and B. animalis from pigs, and B. longum, B. adolescentis and B. pseudolongum from dogs by their carbohydrate fermentation ability.

Our retrospective study reports the clinical findings and population characteristics of 81 surgically treated dogs for spinal cord compression. We compared the outcome of dogs with different grades of neurological dysfunction due to spinal cord compression and focused on the long-term outcome of surgical treatment, for which there are only a few recent records. We recorded a 13.6% recurrence, regardless of the degree of dysfunction. However, the degree of dysfunction negatively affected the recovery length.

A 5-year-old castrated male Shih-tzu dog and a 9-year-old intact female Schnauzer dog were presented with anorexia and depression. These 2 dogs were diagnosed based on which criteria as primary immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). Blood examination showed anemia, spherocytosis, auto-agglutination and total bilirubinemia in 2 cases. These dogs were recovered by treatment of mycophenolate mofetil and prednisolone, and showed good prognosis until now. Mycophenolate mofetil is recommended as initial treatment in canine IMHA.

To report retinal image of in a 6-year-old male castrated poodle dog with a 2-month history of nyctalopia using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Ocular reflexes were present in both eyes and slit lamp examination showed anterior subscapular cataract in the right eye. There were fundus abnormalities in both eyes similar to retinal degeneration. Scotopic electroretinograms (ERGs) revealed significantly subabnormal amplitudes and prolonged implicit time, whereas photopic ERGs were better maintained, although far from normal. OCT of affected dogs revealed generalized retinal thinning much more than a normal age-matched dog. Therefore, OCT scanning is considered to be a useful method for retinal evaluation in dogs with retinal degeneration.
