Serum from mouse orally ingested with tissue cyst forming stain (Me49) of Toxoplasma gondii was assayed by Western blot and immunofluorescene assay (IFA) to establish early responses in antigenicity of the parasite in mouse model of foodborne toxoplasmosis. Sera were collected weekly to blot the RH antigen transferred onto nitrocellulose paper after being separated by 12% SDS-PAGE. With the second week serum, 34 kDa protein (p34) was detected uniquely, and all antigens of T.gondii were detected with the sera from 3 or 4 weeks. p34 was not a member of the major surface membrane proteins and confirmed to be localized in the rhoptry by IFA. It was secreted into parasitophorous vacuolar membrane (PVM) during the entry into host cells. 10.3% of sera detected p34, while all the ELISA positive sera detected the band. It has diagnostic usefulness of presumed T.gondii infection. We suggest the name of the p34 protein as ROP9.

The esophageal stricture after ingestion of caustic agent can be prevented with adequate procedure and management, but if unfortunately developed a stricture, it was treated with various kinds of bougie; peroral esophagoscopic bougienage, Hurst or Maloney type weigted bougie, endless bougienage, retrograde esophageal bougienage and an open surgery. Recently the authors experienced two cases of severe esophageal sreicture after ingestion of acetic acid, which were treated by endless bougination with good results.

A 5-year-old, 2.7 kg, spayed female Scottish Fold cat presented with hematemesis after administration of oral zaltoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, by the owner. Diagnostic imaging and blood analyses indicated development of acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from zaltoprofen ingestion. To correct dehydration and anemic conditions, the cat received intravenous fluid therapy with whole blood transfusion and peroral N-acetylcysteine. Clinical signs resolved, but persistent azotemia was unresolved indicating that AKI could progress to chronic kidney disease. This case suggests that although zaltoprofen may have low adverse effects on humans, administration of zaltoprofen in cats can have serious adverse effects.

Esophageal stricture due to various caustic agents has led to decrease markedly with the improvement of the way of life and socioenvironmental change, and can be prevented with adequate procedure and management. However, there are still sporadic incidents of esophageal stricture due to inadequate treatment and uncooperation of patients. Esophageal stricture was treated with various kinds of bougies ; peroral esophagoscopic bougie, Hurst or Maloney type weighted bougie, endless bougie, retrograde esophageal bougie and open surgery. Recently the authors had experienced a case of severe esophageal stricture after ingestion of HCl, which was treated by gastrostomy and endless bougienage with good result.
