  • A 9-year-old, mixed-breed, castrated male dog presented with a one-week history of severe vomiting. Abdominal radiography showed a dilated small intestine loop. Abdominal ultrasonography showed small-intestine distension up to 5 cm in diameter without mechanical obstruction. During exploratory laparotomy, an aperistaltic ileal segment was resected. There was no narrowed cavity in the resected plane. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings confirmed visceral myopathy due to intestinal adenocarcinoma in the ileum and revealed partial destruction of the longitudinal and circular muscles with fibrosis. Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction caused by adenocarcinoma was diagnosed after considering the above investigative results.

  • A 7-year-old, intact male Pomeranian(weighing 2.2 kg), was presented with clinical signs of prolonged anorexia, polydypsia/polyuria, severe azotemia, proteinuria and heart murmur. Diagnostic studies found chronic kidney disease, severe hypertension and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The dog was treated with 2-day peritoneal dialysis, blood transfusion, anti-hypertensive therapy with amlodipine and conservative therapies direct to chronic renal failure. This is a rare case of hypertensive cardiomyopathy complicated with chronic kidney disease in dogs.

  • Angiotensin II, adminstered (infused or injected) intravenously, elicited the antidiuretic action with the decreased parameters of renal function at a small dose ($0.01\;{\mu}g/kg/min$), whereas, at a large dose (0.03, $0.1\;{\mu}g/kg/min$ and $5.0\;{\mu}g/kg$), it produced the diuretic action accompanied the increased amounts of sodium and potassium excreted in urine ($E_{Na}\;and\;R_K$). At this time, glomerular filtration rates (GFR) were weakened slightly and renal plasma flows (RPF) were reduced markedly, and then filtration fractions (FF) were increased. Angiotensin II, infused into a renal artery, exhibited antidiuretic action at a small dose ($0.003\;{\mu}g/kg/min$), and diuretic action at a large dose ($0.01\;{\mu}g/kg/min$), only in infused (experimental) kidney. The mechanism of the action was similar to the cases of the intravenous angiotensin II. The above results suggest that angiotensin II of a large dose produced diuretic action due to mechanism inhibiting reabsorption of electrolytes in renal tubules, mainly in proximal tubule in dog.

Reverse Patent Ductus Arteriosus with an Aberrant Left Common Carotid Artery in a Shih Tzu Dog (시츄개에서 발생한 비정상적 좌경동맥 분지장애를 동반한 우-좌형 동맥관 개존증)

  • A 4-year-old intact male Shih Tzu dog (weighing 5 kg), was presented with signs of severe dyspnea, exercise intolerance and cyanosis. Diagnostic studies suggested a reverse patent ductus arteriosus (rPDA) with pneumonia. Despite emergency treatments with oxygen, diuretics, antibiotics and medical therapy for hyperkalemia, the dog died of ventricular fibrillation from hyperkalemia and dehydration. Necropsy revealed the rPDA with a marked descending aortic dilation and abnormally arisen left common carotid artery.

  • The industry of character toys is increasing and new characters are constantly being developed. However, the development of 2D cover patterns for toys is time-consuming due to frequent pattern modifications made through trial and error. Studies are now underway to obtain 2D clothing patterns from 3D body data, however, little research has been done on 2D pattern of character toys. This study suggests efficient guidelines to develop 2D cover patterns with a reasonable accuracy and processing time. Two 3D models of a dog and rabbit were used to develop 2D cover patterns. Independent variables of this study are set as 3 levels of triangle area (small, medium, and large) that influence the efficacy of 3D and 2D pattern development. The determination of the appropriate triangular area was based on the area and shape change of the 2D pattern. A medium or large triangle area was shown to be suitable for a character dog with a smooth curved surface. However, the appropriate triangle area was small if the characteristics of the curved surface are complicated as in the case of rabbit. The head of a dog (a double-curved surface) and the curved forepaw of a rabbit (a triangular area) should be small when the characteristics of the curved surface (such as the hind leg of a rabbit having a large convex surface and a small surface area) are complicated. Grouping by 3D surface characteristics could be a suitable guideline for the triangle area selection.

Permanent Transvenous Cardiac Pacing in a Beagle Dog With a Third Degree Atrioventricular Block (경피적 접근을 이용한 영구 박동조절기(pacemaker) 장착을 통한 3도 방실 차단이 있는 비글종 개의 치료)

  • A 2.8-year-old intact female Beagle dog (weighing 11kg) was referred with the primary complaint of exercise intolerance with occasional syncope. Physical examination revealed irregularly irregular heart rhythm with persistent pulse deficits. The 12-lead surface ECG showed a third degree heart block. Permanent transvenous cardiac pacing with a bipolar implantable pacemaker was performed in the right ventricle. After pacemaker implantation, the dog did not show syncopal episode and is currently able to take a walk with an owner. No side effects associated with permanent pacemaker implantation has been observed to date.

  • The present paper considers lice described in some premodern Korean proses, focused on the implications of lice and the literary strategies adopted by the writers in dealing with this unique subject matter. The works reviewed in this process are "A Story of the Louse and the Dog" by Lee Gyu-bo (Goryeo Dynasty), "The Old Man's Vindication of Lice" by Gwak Yeol (Early Joseon), "A Small Realization" by Yu Sin-hwan (Late Joseon) and "Miscellany" by Heo Jeon (Late Joseon). In these premodern essays, an allegory of lice was used to disclose various kinds of prejudices that people generally had: against things small (in "A Story of the Louse and the Dog"), against the old (in "The Old Man's Vindication of Lice"), against the dichotomous idea of right and wrong (in "A Small Realization") and against various aspects of life (in "Miscellany").
