Paraphilmosis, is a condition in which the extruded penis cannot be withdrawn back into the preputial cavity. In this study, the 2 dogs that showed prolonged erection. exposed penis from the sheath and hair surrounding the prepural orifice for several days, were ana1ysis of blood and urine ard carried out surgical treatment. In urinalysis, there were struvites, spermuria and bactera (streptococci) in urine. Firstly, these dogs were treated with non-surgical method, however severe necrosis of the Penis was developed form prolonged exposure and vascular compromise. Finally, partial penile amputation and preputial lengthening were performed and resulted in successful treatment.

Interleukin-32 (IL-32) is a cytokine inducing crucial inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}(TNF{\alpha})$ and IL-6 and its expression is elevated in various inflammatory autoimmune diseases, certain cancers, as well as viral infections. IL-32 gene was first cloned from activated T cells, however IL-32 expression was also found in other immune cells and non-immune cells. IL-32 gene was identified in most mammals except rodents. It is transcribed as multiple-spliced variants in the absence of a specific activity of each isoform. IL-32 has been studied mostly in clinical fields such as infection, autoimmune, cancer, vascular disease, and pulmonary diseases. It is difficult to investigate the precise role of IL-32 in vivo due to the absence of IL-32 gene in mouse. The lack of mouse IL-32 gene restricts in vivo studies and restrains further development of IL-32 research in clinical applications although IL-32 new cytokine getting a spotlight as an immune regulatory molecule processing important roles in autoimmune, infection, and cancer. In this review, we discuss the regulation and function of IL-32 in inflammatory bowel diseases and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteomyelitis is classified into three groups according to its origin: osteomyelitis that originates from the blood supply, osteomyelitis related to bone disease or vascular disease, and osteomyelitis related to a local infection of dental or non-dental origin. The present case involved osteomyelitis related to a local infection of dental origin and was located in the rear area of the lingula of the mandible. We decided to use sagittal split ramus osteotomy to access the osteomyelitis area. Under general anesthesia, we successfully performed surgical sequestrectomy and curettage via sagittal split ramus osteotomy.

This study explored the effect of pulsed magnetic field (PMF) stimulus on the improvement of blood stagnation by means of photoplethysmography (PPG). Our stimulus system was designed to generate PMF with a maximum intensity variation of 0.20 T at a transition time of $160{\mu}s$, with pulse intervals of 1 Hz. In order to quantitatively estimate vascular condition, indices such as blood vessel tension (BVT), stress power (SP), differential pulse wave index (DPI) and remained blood volume (RBV) were calculated from the second derivative of the PPG signal and power density spectrum (PDS). Our results showed that non-invasive PMF stimulus was effective in improving blood stagnation. Therefore, it may be concluded that appropriate PMF stimulus affects the blood circulatory system.

The local irritation studies of DA-3285, recombinant human erytropoietin(rHu-EPO), were carried out in rabbits after the following treatment; single application into the conjunctival sac of the eye, single subcutaneous injection, 7-day repeated subcutaneous injection and 8-day repeated infusion into the ear vein. Also, the local irritancy of DA-3285 leaked around vein was studied in mice by single perivascular injection. The results obtained were as follows. In the result of ocular irritation test, DA-3285 could be considered as a non-irritating material. In single and 7-day repeated subcutaneous irritation test, the irritancy of DA-3285 was not so much different from that of saline. The vascular irritancy of DA3285 by 8-day repeated infusion was negligible and similar to that of saline. And the irritancy of DA3285 by perivascular injection was comparable to that of saline. These results indicate that DA-3285 has no irritating activity when injected through subcutaneous or intravenous route for clinical practice as 3.5% solution.

Recently deschbed new species, Cladosiphon umezakii Ajisaka (Ectocarpales,Phaeophyceae) is reported in Korea based on morphology and plastid rbcL sequences. Cladosiphon umezakii occurred on low intertidal to subtidal zone along the south and southeast coasts in Korea. Thalli are gold to dark brown, ercct, cylindrical, irregularly branched,and very mucoid. Unitocular zoidangium is developed at the base uf assimilatory filaments. Assimilatory filaments are very long. Eight specimens of the pecies collected from Korea clustered with those of C. umezakii in Japan in rbcL tree. The pecies showed a sister relationship with C. okamuranus. The occurrence of this warm water species is thought an example of northward migration of marine algae caused by global warming. Because C. umezakii is of the economica! importance of the genus as foods and medidnes, the study on mass culture of the species is necessary in korea.

Complications related to the vascular anastomosis of the placental vessels in monochorionic twins are fatal. The clinical syndromes of feto-fetal transfusion include twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS), twin-twin transfusion syndrome, and twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence. We present an extremely rare case of TAPS in a dichorionic diamniotic pregnancy. A 36-year-old woman, gravida 0, para 0, was referred to our hospital with suspected preterm premature membrane rupture. Although her pelvic examination did not reveal specific findings, the non-stress test result showed minimal variability in the first fetus and late deceleration in the second one. An emergency cesarean section was performed. The placenta was fused, and one portion of the placenta was pale, while the other portion was dark red. The hemoglobin level of the first fetus was 7.8 g/dL and that of the second one was 22.2 g/dL.

We retrospectively reviewed the cases in which complications occurred during below-the-knee (BTK) endovascular treatments that were performed at our hospital from 2005 to 2014. Several interesting cases have been described herein. All the patients had diabetes and non-healing wounds on their feet and/or rest pain in their foot or leg, and therefore, endovascular treatment was performed for the BTK arteries of the affected lower extremity. The complications that occurred during the procedure were classified into six categories-vascular spasm, flow limiting dissection, perforation, broken guidewire, distal thromboembolism, and unusual puncture site bleeding. Each complication has its own solutions and management. We discuss these different classes of complications and describe how cases of each type were managed.

암리논은 환식-AMP 분해 효소인 포스포다이에스트라제-F-III를 선택적으로 차단하는 비카테콜아민 계통의 약물로 심근세포내 환식-ATP의 양을 증가시켜 심근수축을 촉진한다. 이번 연구에서는 개심술을 시행한 40명의 환자에서 술후 암리논과도파민을 정맥주사하여 혈역학성 변화, 혈액성분변화, 합병증 들을 비교분석하였다. 혈역학성 변화로는 심박수, 수축기와 이완기 혈압, 심박출 계수, 폐동맥 쐐기압, 체혈관 저항 등을 수술직후부터 30분, 1시간, 3시간, 6시간, 12시간, 24시간, 48시간에 측정하였다. 암리논은 처음 초기 용량으로 1.5~2mg/kg을 주사한 후 유지량은 5~ 20ug/kg/min으로 주사하였다. 암리논에서 심박출계수는 수술직후 3.73$\pm$1.39 L/min/m2에서 술후 48시간에 5.44 $\pm$ 2.65 L/min/m2으로 증가하였고(p<0.05) 체혈관 저항은 1237.5 $\pm$ 637.7dyne/sec/cm2에서 1000.8 $\pm$ 608.5 dyne/sec/cm2으로 감소하였다. 도파민군에서 술후 12시 간에 심 박수가 92.1 $\pm$ 13.0/min에서 101.0 $\pm$ 13.1/min으로 증가하고 체혈관 저항도 1058.5 $\pm$ 234.6dyne/sec/cm2에서 1979.7 $\pm$ 759.2dyne/sec/cm2으로 증가하며 심 박출 계수는 3.40 $\pm$ 0.50L/min/m2에서 2 53 $\pm$ 1.15L/min/m2으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). 암리논을 사용한 군에서 도파민군과 비교하여 높은 심박출 계수와 낮은 체혈관 저항을 나타내어 혈역학성 동태에서 더 좋은 결과를 보였다. 술후 암리논의 사용이 좋은 혈역학성 동태를 유지하여 심근 보호 및 심장 기능회복에 좋을 것으로 생각한다.

국내산 겨우살이의 해부학적 특성을 구명하기 위해 광학현미경과 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 겨우살이 및 기주목인 신갈나무의 목재 조직구조를 관찰하였다. 겨우살이가 착생된 부분의 가지는 직경이 그렇지 않은 부분보다 더 컸다. 겨우살이 사부는 인피섬유와 유세포로 그리고 목부는 후벽 목섬유, 방사유세포, 축방향유세포 및 도관상가도관으로 구성되어 있다. 겨우살이 방사조직의 경우 일반적인 목재 수종에 비해 방사유세포가 차지하는 비율이 매우 높고 평복세포, 직립세포 및 방형세포 모두로 이루어져 있는 이형방사조직인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 겨우살이의 도관상가도관 세포벽 내강표면에 나선비후 그리고 세포벽에 유연벽공이 발달되어 있다. 겨우살이 흡기의 삽입에 따라 숙주 도관의 형태가 일부 변형되어 있으나 도관 내 타일로시스는 관찰되지 않았다. 겨우살이 흡기의 끝 부분 형태는 비교적 뾰족하게 나타났고 흡기 삽입에 따른 기주목 세포 자체의 파괴는 관찰되지 않았다.
