  • Prostatic length and height on sagittal images and prostatic width and height on transverse images were measured ultrasonographically to establish upper limit of the prostate in 45 dogs which were clinically healthy and sexuallly intact. Linear 5regression and correlatin analysis were performed between prostatic parameters(length and height on sagittal images & width and height on transverse images) and parameters related to body size(body weight, left kidney length) and age of the dogs. Prostatic parameters were significantly correlated with body size and age of the dogs. Maximum predicted values with body weight and age for prostatic parameters were determined based o the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval of the mean predicted values. Such values should be useful for the small animal clinicians in determining if the prostate gland is too large for a given body weight and age, and may contribute to clinicl signs.

  • This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of doxapram after ketamine treatment. Twelve healthy dogs were anesthetized with ketamine(15mg/kg IM) and then twenty minutes after the injection of ketamine six dogs received doxapram(2mg/kg IV)and six dogs received saline(5$m\ell$ IV)as a control group. Recovery time, respiratory rate, heart rate and electrocardiogram findings(ECG)were recorded. Recovery time was significantly decreased(p<0.05)by doxapram. Respiratory rate showed a maximal increase immediately after the administration of doxapram. Thereafter respiratory rate gradually decreased and revealed normal levels 10 minutes after the injection of doxapram. Ketamine increased significantly (p<0.05) heart rate. Heart rate showed slight increase immediately after the administration of doxapram. Thereafter heart rate gradually decreased, and revealed normal levels 20 minutes after the injection of doxapram.

  • We have performed left lung transplantations in 15 dogs for one year and six months from June, 1990 to December, 1991 at the Repartment of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Yonsei University College of medicine, Seoul, Korea. These dogs were sacrificed at from operative day to post-operative 15 days when their general conditions were deteriorated. The gross findings of the transplanted lungs were thrombi in left atrium in three cases, partial occlusion of pulmonary artery or pulmonary veins in three cases, hemorrhage at pulmonary arterial anastomotic site in one case and bronchial anastomotic stenosis in two cases, bronchial anastomotic rupture in one case % no abnormal gross findings in four cases. The microscopic findings of the transplanted lungs were hemorrhagic infarction in one case, perivascular hemorrhage or pulmonary edema in two cases, peribronchial inflammatory cell infiltration & pneumonia in three cases, and alveolar type rejection with infiltration of type II pneumocytes and septal thickening in 3 cases. And also there were no abnormal findings including rejection or inflammatory evidences in six cases. The one among these six dogs survived to 15 days without evidence of rejection or inflammatory reaction & died due to postoperative care accident.

  • The acute toxicity of STB-HO-BM was evaluated in Sprague Dawley (SS) rats and beagle dogs. STB-HO-BM was administered orally to rats at dose levels of 0 and 2,000mg/kg/day and to dogs at dose levels of 0, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 mg/kg/day. In these experiments, there were no death and clinical changes which were related to STB-HO-BM administration. In addition, there were no significant changes between control and treated groups in body weights and autopsy findings. In conclusion, the administration of STB-HO-BM 2,000 mg/kg in SD rats and up to 2,000mg/kg in beagle dogs was proved to be safe, and it is thought that STB-HO-BM may not show any toxicity in its clinical use.

  • The water celery, Oenanthe javanica DC., is widely distributed in Korea and the other South East Asian countries. From ancient times, the water celery has widely been used for food or medicine. In herbal medicine, the water celery has a medical actions which are defervescence, diuresis, hypotensor, appetizer. Recently, studies on the water celery are briskly being conducted. For example, studies on the morphologic property and classifications of origin of the water celery, studies on the chemical constituents of the Water celery, studies on the bio activities of the water celery which contains flavonoids. However, there is not studies of hematological changes in dogs administrated the water celery until now. Consicontly, this study was conducted to observe the hematological changes in dogs administrated excessive amount of the water celery concentrated extract for a long period. In this studies, all dogs showed significantly decrease of the RBC, PCV, Hb and MCHC, and increase of the WBC, MCV, GSH and reticulocytes, but did not significantly change in the Met-Hb.

  • The effects of continuous administration of propofol on the blood, liver and kidney of dogs were evaluated. Propofol(5mg/kg) was repeatedly administered to 8 mongrel dogs intravenously for consecutive seven days. Time to recovery, body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate were measured and recorded during experimental period. Hematology (WBC, RBC, PCV) and serum chemistry (AST, ALT, BUN, Creatinine) were also monitored for eight days. Time to standing significantly decreased on day 4 and 6 compared with that on day 1. Body temperature 5 minutes after injection on day 5 and 6, and respiratory rate before injection on day 2, 3, 5 and 6 were significantly increased, respectively. No significant changes were observed in total WBC counts, total RBC counts and PCV values. The AST and AIT values were decreased on day 2 compared with those on day 1, but were within clinically normal range. There were no significant changes in BUN and Creatinine levels. This study suggests that consecutive day propofol anesthesia in dogs can be used for the purpose of the treatment and restraint.

  • The acute toxicity study of CJ-50001, a recombinant granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rG-CSF), was performed in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats and beagle dogs. CJ-50001 was administered up to maximum dose 5,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg (i.v.) and 10,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg (p.o.) in SD rats and 5,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg (i.v.) in beagle dogs. In these experiments, there were no death and harmful clinical changes which were related to CJ-50001. In conclusion, $LD_{50}$ of CJ-50001 is over 5,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, i.v. in SD rats and beagle dogs, and over 10,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, p.o. in SD rats.

  • To investigate the effect of neck collars for the protection of self-mutilation, attainable sites of the body in dogs with collars and durability of collars were examined for 7 days. The collars used in the present experiment were hand made plastic basket collar, IASIS$\^$R/ ( heat moldable plastics), commerical plastic and cardboard collars The hand made plastic basket collar was made of basket which could buy at any supermarkets. The dogs with hand made plastic basket collar and IASIS$\^$R/ which was cast from the neck to the scapular region could lick only on digits of the forelimb. However, the dogs with commercial plastic and cardboard collars could lick not only the digits of forelimb but femur and digits of the hindlimb. It was suggested that hand made plastic basket collar was superior to the other collars in easiness of putting, durability, protection of self mutilation and economy.

  • The study aimed at determining the feasibility of three portal totally Laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy in small breed dogs. Four right sided and one left sided abdomen retained testicles in five dogs weighing 2.2~8.7 kg were retrieved successfully. Pampiniform plexus and vas deference were ligated and transected with Hem-o-lock/monopolar electrocauterization (1/5), or ultrasonic scalpel (4/5) and the latter provided more easy, quick and safe hemostasis and transection. The resected testis was easily removed through a insertion site. Mean surgical time was $19.9{\pm}15.2$ minutes and when the abdominal cavity was explored again, there were no major complications. The patient recovered favorably without unwilling events. This is the case report of laparoscopic cryptorchidectomies in small breed dogs weigh less than 10 kg. Laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy could be considered as an alternative in small animal surgery.
