이 후향적 연구는 비장 질환의 초음파 소견과 특징을 묘사하고 평가하여 세포검사 혹은 조직병리검사 결과와의 상관관계를 알아보고자 실시되었다. 2002년 1월부터 2011년 7월까지 서울대학교 수의과대학 동물병원에 내원한 환자 중 복부 초음파 검사와 비장 에 대한 초음파 유도하 세침흡인 혹은 수술적 생검이나 부검을 실시한 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 세침흡인을 실시한 76마리 개와 생검 혹은 부검을 실시한 48마리의 개, 총 124마리의 개가 이번 연구에 포함되었다. 나이는 2세에서 17세까지(평균 ${\pm}$ 표준편차 = $9.54{\pm}3.34$ 세) 분포하였고 암컷은 61마리(26마리 중성화), 숫컷은 63마리(40마리 중성화)였다. 124마리 중 114마리는 순종이었고 10마리는 혼합 품종이었다. 총 26종류의 품종이 있었고 113마리가 소형견종으로 분류되었다. 비장에 대한 초음파 소견은 비장 크기의 종대와 전반적인 실질 변화 뿐 아니라 비장 병변의 분포와 에코를 토대로 정상 소견을 포함하여 총 10가지의 종류로 분류될 수 있었다. 저에코성 결절/종괴 소견이 124 개체 중 44마리(35.4%)로 가장 높은 빈도를 보였으며 다음으로 23마리(18.5%)가 다수의 저에코성결절 소견을 보였다. 세포학 혹은 조직병리 검사에서 70마리(56.5%)는 양성의, 54마리(43.5%)는 악성의 병변을 보였다. 각각의 초음파 소견들은 다양한 세포학 혹은 조직병리 검사 결과를 보였다. 하지만, 전반적인 이질적 에코 소견과 전반적인 저에코 소견은 유의적으로 악성과 관련되었고(p < 0.05), 반면에 고에코성 결절/종괴 소견은 유의적으로 양성과 관련이 있었다(p < 0.05). 본 연구 결과를 토대로 비장에 대한 초음파 검사는 양성과 악성 병변을 감별진단하는데 최소한의 정보를 제공할 수 있는 것으로 고려할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

복부 및 골반부의 방사선 조사에서 정상소장의 손상은 대장에 비해 발생빈도는 낮다고 하나 때로는 치명적일수도 있음으로 치료선량을 제한시키는 가장 큰 원인 중의 하나이다. 많은 연구 및 임상보고가 있어 왔으나 동물실험의 경우 대부분이 단일조사 혹은 소수 분할조사에 의한 실험이었으며 인체의 경우 심한 합병증으로 인한 적출물의 생경 혹은 부검소견이 대부분이어서 임상에서와 같은 방법의 체계적인 실험에 의한 보고는 드물다. 이에 저자는 총 396마리의 마우스를 사용하여 전복부에 $2{\times}3cm$의 조사야로 $200{\times}51/wk$로 조사한 후 전 조사량 및 추적기간별로 구분하여 병리조직학적인 소장의 손상정도와 그 회복 및 잔여변화를 관찰하였다. 소낭세포의 분열감소, 융모의 단축, 점막궤양 등의 급성변화는 3,000cGy 이하의 선량에서는 1-2주 이내에 회복되었으나 4,000-5,000cGy군에서 잔여변화가 상당기간 동안 관찰되었다. 소 혈관벽의 비후, 소장점막의 섬유화 및 위축, 만성궤양 등의 후기 면화는 4,000-5,000cGy 조사군의 $2{\sim}3$주 후의 표본에서 현저히 나타나기 시작하여 시간이 경과함에 따라 약간의 회복을 보여주었으나 잔여변화는 15주까지 계속 관찰되었다. 동물실험에서 얻어진 결과를 임상에 직접 적용시키기는 어렵다고 하겠으나 임상에서 흔히 사용되는 선량인 5,000cGy이하에서도 지속적인 만성합병증이 가능함을 보여, 보다나은 임상결과를 위해서는 총선량, 선량율, 분할선량, 조사야 등의 예후에 영향을 줄 수 있는 모든 여건들의 적절한 가감이 필요함을 시사하였다.

The KFDA (Korea Food & Drug Administration) has performed a collaborative toxicogenomics project since 2003. Its aim is to construct a toxicology database of 12 compounds administered to mice at initial phase. We chose 6-MP (6-mercaptopurine) which has been used in the treatment of childhood leukemia. It was administered at low (0.224 mg/kg) and at high (2.24 mg/kg) dose (5 mice per group) intraperitonealy to the postnatal 6 weeks mice, then the serum and liver were collected at the indicated time (6, 24 and 72 h) after scarification. Serum biochemical markers for liver toxicity were measured and histopathologic studies also were carried out. The gene expression profiling was carried out by using Applied Biosystems 1700 Full Genome Expression Mouse. By self-organization maps (SOM), we identified groups with unique gene expression patterns, some of them are supposed to be related to 6-MP induced toxicity, including lipid metabolism abnormality, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, ATP depletion and cell death. The potential toxic effects appearing as gene expression changes are dependent of the time of 6-MP but independent of the dosage of it. This study would contribute to establishment of international database as well as national one about hepatotoxicity.

Background: For normalization of displaced anatomical structure by large cyst, two-step procedure (decompression and enucleation afterward) has been recommended. However, the histological transformation after cystotomy for decompression was shown frequently in secondary enucleation. Therefore, analyses about effects and histological changes after decompression have been necessary. Methods: 48 cases diagnosed as large odontogenic cyst in the jaw and treated by decompression and secondary enucleation were retrospectively analyzed in clinical, rediographical, and histological aspects. Results: In dentigerous cyst, decompression was much useful. Impacted permanent teeth were erupted and reduction rate was higher than that of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and apical periodontal cyst. In OKC, among the 29 cases, 11 cases showed no-keratosis, proliferation and rete-ridge elongation after decompression. 4 cases showed no-keratosis, only. 7 cases showed orthokeratosis and rete-ridge elongation and 6 cases showed reteridge elongation, only. 1 case had no change. And the recurrence rate for OKCs was 10.3%. For all odontogenic cysts in this study, dysplasia was not found in cystic lining after decompression. Conclusions: This study implied that decompression for large odontogenic cyst was useful treatment modality because it was conservative treatment and recurrence rate was low although long treatment period was required.

Lower motor neuron signs of hind limbs, anus and bladder were identified by history taking and physical examination in the 6.8 year-old mongrel dog and 2.6 year-old Cocker spaniel. The Cocker spaniel, also showed gradual cranial migration of neurologic deficit including respiratory paralysis. On plain radiography and myelography, intervertebral disc extrusion between L2 and L3, the infiltration of contrast medium into the spinal cord and cord swelling were found in the mongrel dog, and infiltration of contrast medium like hollowness of cord parenchyma was observed in the Cocker spaniel. On the basis of clinical signs and radiographic findings, they were diagnosed tentatively as acute myelomalacia. The Cocker spaniel died of respiratory paralysis on the following day. Decompressive surgery was performed on the mongrel dog and the extensive necrosis and hemorrhage were found at surgery. It was euthanized with the owner's consent because of the perceived poor prognosis. Histopathologic examination after autopsy confirmed acute diffuse hemorrhagic myelomalacia with the swelling and the inflammation of axon, showing hemorrhagic changes in the white matter and the grey matter.

Growth of suture line and anastomosis is required for long-term success after the tracheal and bronchial surgery in infant and pediatric patient. We used various suture materials in these cases, but the results were differ. To select the adequate suture material in tracheal surgery, we tried next. Tracheal anastomoses were performed in 150 Sprague Dawley rats, aged 4 to 8 [mean 5.8] weeks and weight 62 to 106[mean 83.6] gram, to compare polydioxanone[PDS] 7-0, polyglactin 910[Vicryl]7-0, and polypropylene [prolene] 8-0 suture materials. In 150 rats, only 29[20%] were lived over 300 days, and the weight was 250 to 320[mean 289.5]gram. Cross sectional area of the anastomoses and two or three tracheal rings below anastomosis site were measured under microscope, and calculated and compared as Hsieh`s equition. Cross-sectional area,anastomosis site/normal site 100, were 89.4 $\pm$ 5.34% in PDS group[n=9], 75.7 $\pm$ 6.06% in Vicrylgroup [n = 10], and 80.8$\pm$ 4.06% in Prolene group[n = 10]. Histopathologic studies were done for all autopsies or put in death around 300 days postoperatively. PDS absorblion was not seen 16 weeks after suture but disappeared over 24 weeks slide. Vicryl absorbtion was noted postoperative 8 to 16 weeks, with marked tissue reaction. Prolene showed least tissue reaction, but the suture material was persisted with regional fibrotic capsule.Causes of death were respiratory failure in 76 cases, tracheal rupture in 22 cases, hemorrhage, biting, starvation and etc. in 23 cases. With the brief review of literatures, we report the results.

Background & Objectives : Nasal resistance which is halfly responsible for airway resistance is known to be influenced by hypoxia, hypercapnia, exercise, pregnancy, alcohol, ammonia and smoking. Smoking is a common part of our sociocultural environment and we have many a times been introduced to its various adverse effects, which have usually been more focused on lung problems. The purpose of this study is to determine any relationship between smoking and nasal resistance and to evaluate it's effective sites. Materials and Methods : Acoustic rhinometry was performed in 25 smokers and 25 nonsmokers who had no nasal symptoms nor abnormal rhinoscopic findings, and used an acoustic rhinometry to measure the distance from nose-piece to the C-notch, cross sectional area at the C-notch, and volume of the nasal cavity from nose-piece to 7cm. The authors compared the data between the two groups. Results : The cross sectional area at the C-notch was significantly decreased(p<0.05) in smoking group. The distance to the C-notch and the volume of nasal cavity were decreased likely in smoking group but there were no significant difference(p>0.05). Conclusion : Smoking reduced the cross sectional area at the C-notch, so increased the nasal resistance. The underlying mechanisms seems to be decreased nasal mucosal reactivity and congestion of the nasal mucosa. The authors believe there should follow more studies on pathophysiologic mechanisms and the histopathologic changes which involve the effect of smoking on nasal structures.

A five-month-old, male Domestic Korean shorthair was referred to our hospital with a history of lethargy, anorexia, and globoid cardiac silhouette on thoracic radiography. Physical examination showed dehydration and anemia was revealed on blood analysis. On thoracic radiography and echocardiography, the patient showed pericardial effusion and ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis was performed. A Rivalta test of the pericardial effusion showed a positive result. As the patient had recurrent pericardial effusion, pericardiectomy was performed. He was tentatively diagnosed with wet form feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and treated with Polyprenyl immunostimulant (PI). Neurological signs were eventually seen and he was euthanized. Histopathologic changes with markedly expanded neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages with fibrous connective tissue and collagenous fibers were detected. Immunohistochemistry for FIP antigen was performed and results showed FIPV-positive multifocal aggregates of cells. Pericardial effusion is an atypical condition in cats with FIP, but can be presented. This case report describes FIP with pericardial effusion in a cat, in which definitive diagnosis of FIP was done using biopsy via pericardiectomy.

This study was performed to evaluate the ultrasonographic findings of ethylene glycol intoxication. Ten healthy mongrel dogs which was administered with ethylene glycol, were evaluated in terms of clinical findings, hematological findings, blood chemistry, and ultrasonographic and histopathological findings of kidney. The results obtained through these experiment could be summarized as follows : 1. Typical clinical symptoms such as vomiting, initial apprehension, depression, thirst, dehydration, tremor, anorexia, hematuria, anuria, weakness, weight loss, flaccid paralysis, tachypnea, coma, and death, were revealed after administration of ethylene glycol. 2. Special symptom of bloody diarrhea was occurred by administration of ethylene glycol. 3. After administration of ethylene glycol, PCV was decreased continuously(p<0.01), and total leukocyte count was increased gradually, revealed the highest value at day 5 and thereafter decreased. 4. Remarkable changes of ultrasonographic findings such as high echo intensity of renal parenchyma and emergence of halo in corticomedullary junction, were revealed after administration of ethylene glycol. Early(hour 8) enlargement and late(day 3) enlargement were observed in kidney(p<0.01). Especially, late enlargement was observed concurrently with the elevation of BUN and creatinine values. 5. Calcium oxalate crystals, metabolites of ethylene glycol, were observed in histopathologic findings of kidney. Also, degeneration and necrotic exfoliation of epithelial cells were recognized in addtion to swelling of renal tubules.
