  • A 8 months old, female domestic Shorthair cat with long-term signalment of anorexia, lacrimation, uveitis and coughing was submitted to the Pathology and Diagnosis Reference Division, NVRQS, Korea, for necropsy. Main gross lesions were characterized by ascities, some grayish-white nodular formation and fibrous adhesion on the surface of visceral organs including liver and kidney. Principle histopathological findings were fibrinous serositis, multifocal granuloma and necrosis, vasculitis, perivasculitis in various pharenchymal organs. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections taken from most of organs with granulomatous lesions were confirmed specific reaction to the monoclonal antibody of feline infectious peritonitis virus in the cytoplasm of many infiltrating macrophages by immunohistochemistry. The report was to describe the pathological lesions of the first naturally-occuring FIP case in companion cat of Korea.

  • Catalase (CAT) decomposes hydrogen peroxide that is toxic to the body. In this study, simple and sensitive detector has been developed for observing catalase activity using liquid crystal droplet system. Microscale LC droplet patterns are formed by spreading aldehyde-doped nematic liquid crystal on pre-treated glass slides. When hydrogen peroxide is added, aldehyde is oxidized and amphiphiles are formed. Dodecanoates cause the pattern to transit from bright to dark as they self-assemble to form a carboxyalte monolayer at the interface. When a drop of pre-incubated CAT and hydrogen peroxide mixture is placed onto the pattern, bright fan-shape is observed. This planar optical appearance indicates that catalase has decomposed hydrogen peroxide. Compared to the detectors that have been previously developed, this system is more sensitive with detection limit of 1fM. This research suggests further studies to be on LC droplet patterning to develop highly sensitive and methodologically simple sensors for various chemicals.

  • In this paper, We propose a new Kerberos certification mechanism that improve certification service based on PKINIT that announce in IETF CAT Working Group. Certification between area connected by chain through PKINIT that use X.509 and DS/DNS mutually for service. In order to provide regional services used private key and public key, X.509 of PKINIT is employed on session part and Kerberos's private key on actual authentication part. New mechanism be reduced communication overload doing to simplify certification formality between Client and remote KDC by KDC's certificate use to get ticket in remote sacred ground and remote KDC's reaffirmation process omitted.

  • We determined the prevalence of feline hemotropic mycoplasma species including 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum', Mycoplasma haemofelis, and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis' in naturally infected feral cats in Jeonju, Korea. Forty six feral cats were evaluated by PCR assay targeting the 16S rRNA gene sequence. Nine cats (19.6%) were positive for 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum', 2 cats (4.3%) were positive for 'Mycoplasm a haemofelis', and 1 cat (2.2%) was infected with both 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum' and Mycoplasma haemofelis. 'Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis' was undetected. Partial 16S rRNA gene sequences of Mycoplasma haemofelis were closely (> 96%) related to those from other countries. The amplification of hemoplasma DNA in these samples confirmed the presence of 'Candidatus M. haemominutum' and M. haemofelis in Korea.

  • 본 논문에서는 CAT를 적용하여 다중 처리를 지원하는 계측 시스템의 인터페이스를 설계하고 구현하였다. 다중 처리는 프로세스 기법으로 트레드 방식을 사용하였고, 스케쥴링으로는 라운드 로빈 방식을 사영하엿다. 구현된 다중처리 시스템은 HP8590A 스펙트럼 분석기와 HP473B 전력계를 시스템 운영 계측기로 이용하였다. 이밖에도 15대까지의 계측기를 첨가하여 시스템을 운용할 수있도록 하였다. 개발된 소프트웨어는 총 9개 모듈로 구성되어 있고 각 모듈들은 상호 공유되도록 구현하였다. 더 많은 예측기를 부가할 경우에는 목적 계측기에 알맞는 소프트웨어 모듈을 합하여 구성할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 계측기를 여러대 접속할 때 발생할 수 있는 문제점에 대한 해결책을 제시하였다.문제점은 정보의 전송도중 버스가 데드록이 되거나 데이터를 손실하는 경우이다. 문제 발생의 원인은 각 계측기가 갖고 있는 정보 전송 프로토콜의 차이점이 있기 대문인데, 이를 알아내고자 프로토콜 분석기를 설계하여 컴퓨터에 접속할 수 잇도록 구현하였다. 실험한 결과 두 대의 서로 다른 계측기가 갖고 있는 공통적인 프로토콜 패턴을 찾을 수 있었다. 이 시스템을 이용할 경우 사용자는 전문지식 없이도 측정 시간과 오차를 줄일 수가 있다.

  • The hepatoprotective effect of methanol extract of leaves of Caesalpinia bonducella was studied by means of paracetamol induced liver damage in rats. The degree of protection was measured by using biochemical parameters such as serum transaminase (SGPT and SGOT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin, and total protein. Further, the effects of the extract on lipid peroxidation (LPO), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) were estimated. The methanol extract of C. bonducella (MECB) (50,100 and 200 mg/kg) produced significant (P<0.01) hepatoprotective effect by decreasing the activity of serum enzymes, bilirubin, and lipid peroxidation, while it significantly increased increased the levels of GSH, SOD, CAT, and protein in a dose dependent manner. The effects of MECB were comparable to that of standard drug Silymarin. However, at a lower dose (25 mg/kg) it could not restore the deleterious effect produced by paracetamol. The results indicate that Caesalpinia bonducella had antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects.

  • A one-year-old, 3.25 kg intact male Chinchilla cat presented with acute right hind limb paralysis. Diagnostic imaging studies found cardiomegaly with interstitial lung pattern, abnormal mitral valve leaflets without maximum opening at the end of the ventricular diastole and during atrial systole and severe mitral inflow obstruction. Based on these findings and its young age, the case was diagnosed as congenital mitral valve stenosis. Treatment was directed to stabilize clinical conditions related to heart failure, to prevent further formation of thrombus and to relieve pain associated with thromboembolism. After one month of therapy, hind limb motor function was fully recovered.

  • 10GBASE-T is 10Gigabit Ethernet over horizontal structured, twisted-pair copper cabling.(1) It aims to transmit data at a speed of 10Gbps at a l00m distance away, through UTP (unshielded twisted -pair) Cat-5e cable 4-pair. This paper looks over the characteristic of media over Cat 5e, 6, 7, and then suggests how much noise should be removed from it in order to offer the transmission speed of 10Gbps as sending data through each physical medium.
