Microsporum gypseum was identified as the prime cause of dermatitis in two young horses who were housed in unhygienic stables. The lesions were mainly distributed on the thorax, abdomen and rump. The diagnosis was established on the direct demonstration of dermatophyte in the cutaneous lesions and isolation of the fungus in pure and heavy growth from the infected hairs and skin scales on mycological medium at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Microscopoc morphology of the isolate in 'PHOL' stain many macroconidia and few microconidia. Epidemoilogical investigation revealed the prevalence of M. gypseum in the soil of stables. Mycological examination is highly imperative to distinguish the disease from other dermatological disorders. This apperas to be the first report of equine dermatitis due to M. gypseum in Westenn India.

The present investigation confirms the zoonotic significance of Microspoum canis infection in five patients who had direct contact with diseased dogs and cats. Typical ringworm type lesions were mainly encountered on the exposed areas of the body. M. canis was isolated from the cutaneous lesions of man ana infected pets ; and also directly demonstrated in skin materials. However, the fungus could neither be recovered from the non-contact group nor from the saprobic environment. The isolates from man, dog, and cat showed similar gross as well as microscopic morphology. Further genetic studies so indicated that all the human and animal isolates of M. canis were(-) mating type. It is believed that transmission of zoophilic dermatophytes from animal to man occurs more commonly with direct exposure. In addition, the epidemiology and preventive measures are also discussed.

Purpose: Numerous experimental studies have shown the benefits of treating thermal burns by cooling. Nevertheless, few studies have shown the clinical effect of cooling therapy on thermal burns. This study aimed to identify the clinical effect of immediate cooling therapy. Methods: The research was conducted as a retrospective, case-control study. All patients had thermal injuries characterized as a superficial second-degree burn. In the cooling group, 14 patients had first-aid cooling therapy delivered by either parents, caregivers, general practitioners, local hospitals, and/or Myongji hospital. Included in the study were 22 control patients who were not treated with any cooling therapies. Other clinical factors, such as age, sex, cause of burn injury, and burn area (Total Body Surface Area %), were taken into consideration. The duration of treatment was defined as the time from the occurrence of the injury to the presence of complete re-epithelialization, as confirmed by two surgeons. Results: The duration of treatment in the cooling group was significantly less than that the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Cooling therapy as an initial emergent treatment is clinically effective for superficial second-degree burn injuries.

This study was performed to investigate the application of bovine amniotic membrane for canine corneal ulcer and to compare bovine amniotic membrane flap to nictitating membrane flap. Corneas were treated with 8.0mm trephine and 100% ethanol was applied and corneal epithelium was removed. This experiment was divided into three groups; control group, nictitating membrane flap group and amniotic membrane + nictitating membrane flap group. To compare corneal healing, fluorescein dye test, histopathological examination and TUNEL assay were performed. The healing size of the corneal epithelium in was largest among groups and it was significantly different with the other groups (P<0.05). Also, inflammatory cell deposits and keratocyte apoptosis in amniotic membrane flap group were smallest, but the width of the corneal epithelium was thickest among groups. Therefore, we tentatively predicted that the amniotic membrane flap would be an alternative effective method for the treatment of superficial canine corneal ulcer.

Morus alba fruit contains several anthocyanins and flavonoids like cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside. Extractions from Morus alba fruit were performed with five different compositions of ethanol/water [v/v]. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used for the validation and content determination of cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside. The contents of cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside in ethanol extracts (100%, 70%, 40%, 20% and 0%, ethanol/water [v/v]) were 1.150%, 0.822%, 0.749%, 0.663% and 0.597%, respectively. Quercetin-3-O-rutinoside contents of ethanol extracts (100%, 70%, 40%, 20% and 0%, ethanol/water [v/v]) were 0.167%, 0.161%, 0.159%, 0.155% and 0.096%, respectively. The highest contents of cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside were in the ethanol extract with 100% ethanol/water [v/v]. These HPLC analysis method could be used as basic data for standardization of functional food from Morus alba fruit.

Ultrasonography is effective for imaging superficial organs, such as the scrotum. Using a highfrequency transducer, ultrasonography can identify the location and characteristics of scrotal lesions with high accuracy. The primary role of ultrasound (US) in the evaluation of a scrotal mass is to determine if it is intratesticular or extratesticular. Additional clinical information and other imaging options may be needed to diagnose benign tumors and pseudo-tumors. MRI is an effective problem-solving tool in cases with nondiagnostic US findings. CT is helpful for staging testicular cancer and localizing undescended testis. This review covers the imaging features of testicular and extratesticular tumors.

Purpose: Mondor's disease is a rare benign condition which involves thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast and anterior chest wall after breast surgery, breast tissue biopsy, inflammatory reaction, breast cancer, trauma. The affected veins include the lateral thoracic, axillary veins, thoracoepigastric veins and superior epigastric veins. Methods: A 49-year-old woman presented to the outpatient department with complaints of the sudden appearance of a subcutaneous cord just under the skin at left lower lateral abdominal wall 1 month later of bilateral mastectomy due to both severe breast paraffinoma. The cord was initially red and tender and subsequently became a painless, tough, fibrous band that was accompanied by tension and skin retraction. Results: On ultrasonographic findings, palpable threadlike structures at both lateral superficial abdominal wall after bilateral mastectomy were noted. Superficial short elongated hypoechoic tubular structures were noted just under the skin at palpable lower lateral abdominal wall. It was compatible to Mondor's disease of thoracoepigastric vein. Conclusion: The increase in breast surgery will give rise to the increase in the frequency of Mondor's disease clinically. Mondor's disease can be diagnosed with clinical symptoms and image findings and the disease has proved to be benign and self-limited.

Neurilemmoma is a benign encapsulated nerve sheath tumor originated from peripheral nerve. Previously its preoperative diagnosis had mainly depended on the history, physical examination, electrodiagnostic test, ultrasonography, bone scan. But only with these diagnostic modalities, exact preoperative diagnosis was nearly impossible. Therefore operation was performed under the impression of lipoma or just simple soft tissue tumor. Recently, the advent of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) has made it easier to diagnose neurilemoma before surgery. MRI also helps to determine the extent of lesion and operative procedures. We performed marginal excision in 24 cases, evaluated those cases with respect to the sex, age, location, chief complaint, duration of illness, preoperative diagnosis, involved nerve, imaging studies, size of mass, complication, duration of follow-up and report with review of the literature.

The coexistence of mesenchymal tumor and carcinoma in the esophagus is extremely rare. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma located at the mucosal surface over leiomyoma of the esophagus. A 76-year-old man with complaints of 3 months onset of odynophagia was diagnosed preoperatively as squamous cell carcinoma over submucosal tumor with calcification. Esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy were performed through the right thoracotomy and upper median laparotomy. The patient is doing well without evidence of recurrence in the 25 months after resection. We discuss the pathogenesis and possible relations between the two tumors.
