The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness and effectiveness of thermography in horse. Total 21 horses associated with locomotors, wound, and ophthalmic disease were investigated. Thermographically, the wannest area in normal limb was coronary band ($27.26^{\circ}C$), and carpus, metacarpus, fetlock, and pastern area were $26.64^{\circ}C$, $24.42^{\circ}C$, $23.64^{\circ}C$ and $23.06^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature($^{\circ}C$) of horses with lameness, swelling, nervous, ataxia was lower(cold spot) than surrounding tissue or symmetry area, and with heat, signs of inflammation was increased(hot spot). These results suggest that the thermography is useful for the early detection of locomotors, wound, and ophthalmic disease in horse and an excellent adjunct to clinical examination.

Background: Heart failure can develop secondary to various heart diseases (e.g. mitral valvular insufficiency, congenital heart defects, heart worm infection). The clinical signs of heart failure can be confused with those of other conditions, such as respiratory disease. Therefore, specific, sensitive, rapid and inexpensive blood tests for heart failure are desirable. Cardiac troponins, natriuretic peptides and cytokines have been more recently used as indicators of heart disease in humans and animals. These peptides are sensitive to changes in vasoconstriction and dilation within the heart and are used for the diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure. Methods: Previously developed and newly developed cardiac biomarkers will be discussed for understating clinical implications and diagnostic values in heart diseases in small animals

In this paper the development of an automatic body temperature measuring system which can be attached to the milking machine has been studied. Since the disease is highly related to the body temperature of the cattle, early detection of the abnormal temperature would prevent the severe problems which may occur in dairy farms. The electronic component AD590 is used as a temperature sensor for the system. The device is highly robust against the noise since the output signal is the current. So it can be applied to the long distance sensing. The resolution of the signal is $0.1{\circ}C$ and the current is 10 mV. Also the A/D converter is designed for interfacing the sensor with a computer. A temperature measuring experiment using the developed system has been done for measuring the temperature of human beings and the system was proven to be useful for measuring the body temperature of the dairy cattle properly.

Due to heightened concerns regarding possible bioterrorist attacks, the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention introduced syndromic surveillance systems, which have been run by emergency departments in hospitals throughout Korea since 2002. These systems are designed to identify illness clusters before diagnoses are confirmed and reported to public health agencies, to mobilize a rapid response, and thereby to reduce morbidity and mortality. The Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention performed drop-in syndromic surveillance successfully during the World Cup Football Games in 2002, the Universiad games in 2004, and the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in 2005. In addition, sustainable syndromic surveillance system involving the collaborative efforts of 125 sentinel hospitals has been in operation nationwide since 2002. Because active data collection can bias decisions a physician makes, there is a need to generate an automatic and passive data collection system. Therefore, the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention plans to establish computerized automatic data collection systems in the near future. These systems will be used not only fur the early detection of bioterrorism but also for more effective public health responses to disease.

Recently, Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is one of the biggest threats to healthy society. Current medical AD diagnosis depends on interviews and the molecular neuroimaging. There is no cure for the disease, which worsens as it progresses, and eventually leads to death. Amyloid ${\beta}$ and Tau-meditated neuronal injury and dysfunction are candidates of biomarker for AD diagnosis using blood. For highly sensitive and selective biosensor platform, interdigitated microelectrodes (IMEs) sensor was prepared with micro fabrication process and Amyloid ${\beta}$ antibody. Amyloid ${\beta}$ concentration of 1, 10, 100, and 1000 pg/mL was injected in reaction chamber with IME sensors, impedance and conductance of IMEs changed respectively. These results show our newly proposed IMEs sensor can be usefully utilized for AD early diagnosis.

Leukemia is a hematological malignant disease with various clinical symptoms. Due to the fatal nature of the disease, early detection is important. Oral manifestations include ulcers and gingival enlargement with bleeding. Moreover, myeloid sarcoma or opportunistic infections may also occur. This report introduces a 31-year-old male presenting with generalized gingival enlargement with bleeding and another 81-year-old female with neoplasm on the left retromolar area. Both were diagnosed as acute monocytic leukemia. These cases implicate that gingival enlargement or mucosal lesion in the oral cavity may represent underlying systemic diseases. Related to this, it has to be reminded that making timely diagnosis and referral according to the clinical findings is crucial.

Occupational lung disease (OLD) is a group of lung diseases caused and/or aggravated by organic and inorganic inhaled dust, fumes, and mist. OLD can develop under various occupational situations. Therefore, occupational history should be considered when evaluating respiratory symptoms. Once OLD is developed, it may not be treated and may even progress after exposure to the causative agents has stopped. The best ways to treat OLD are prevention and early detection by controlling the working environment and conducting regular surveillance of workers. Common OLDs in Korea are coal worker's pneumoconiosis, asbestos-related diseases, and occupational asthma. Recent aspects of these common OLDs in Korea will be described based on recently published studies.

선천성 부신 과형성증 중 가장 흔한 21-hydroxy-lase deficiency (21-OHD)는 신생아 선별검사에서 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP)의 증가로 조기 진단이 가능하다. 17-OHP가 애매하게 증가되는 경우에는 ACTH 자극 검사가 필요하며, 이 검사는 nonclassical (NC형) 21-OHD 진단의 gold standard이다. 전형적인 임상 증상이 없는 경우, 예를 들어 남성화가 심하지 않은 여아, 경한 simple virilizing (SV)형 남아나 신생아 선별 검사에서 발견되지 않을 수 있는 NC형 환자의 경우, 분자유전학적 검사가 진단에 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 이는 예후 에측 및 유전 상담에도 도움이 된다. 미숙아와 저체중 출생아의 경우는 17-OHP가 위양성을 보이기 쉬우므로 출생 주수나 출생 체중에 따른 cutoff 값 설정이 필요하다. 높은 위양성률을 극복하기 위해 기존 RIA방법에 비해 최근 LC-MS/MS가 민감도와 특이도를 높이는 검사로 주목 받고 있다. 21-OHD 신생아 선별 검사의 효율성을 높이기 위해서는 SW형 남아를 조기에 발견하고, 여아에서 성별 결정을 조기에 올바르게 하고, NC형 환자를 찾아내고, 미숙아/저체중 출생아/아픈 신생아에서 위양성률을 낮추어서 불필요한 재검 및 경제적/심리적 부담을 최소화 하기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 무엇보다 21-OHD가 임상적으로 확실하게 의심되는 경우에는 확진 검사에 앞서 적절한 치료가 조기에 시작되어야 한다. 저자들은 본 종설에서 21-OHD의 신생아 선별 검사 후 진단 알고리즘에 대해 최신 문헌들에 근거하여 가이드라인을 제시하는 바이다.

전산화 단층촬영은 폐질환의 정밀진단 방법으로 사용이 증가되고 있다. 통상적으로 시행되는 CT촬영은 조기 진단을 위한 선별검사로써는 높은 방사선 노출과 고비용, 조영제 사용으로 인한 부작용 등으로 적당하지 않다. 영상의학분야에서 방사선을 이용한 CT촬영은 진단 능력이 우수한 반면 피폭선량 또한 매우 높아 선량 감축을 위한 노력이 절실하다. 그동안 많은 연구들에서 무증상기의 폐암 및 폐질환을 조기 발견하기 위한 선별검사로써 저선량 CT의 유용성에 대해 이루어져 왔고, 의미있는 결과를 보고하였다. 선량 감소에 많은 인자가 관여하고 있지만 조사선량(mAs)의 감소가 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 이미 보고 된 많은 연구에서 저선량 CT는 폐질환을 조기 발견하기 위한 선별검사로써 임상에서 사용하기에 유용하지만, 일부 연구에서 조기 폐암을 예측할 수 있는 작은 결절을 발견하는데 낮은 민감도와 특이도를 보였고, 실제 생존율 증가에는 기여하지 못한 보고도 있었다. 따라서, 지금까지의 저선량 CT에 대한 연구결과를 토대로 다양한 위험에 노출된 집단을 대상으로 선량을 감소시키기 위한 연구가 계속적으로 이루어진다면, 향후 저선량 CT촬영은 폐암을 비롯한 폐질환의 조기진단 방법으로써 통상적으로 사용되고 있는 표준 CT촬영을 충분히 대체할 수 있을 것으로 전망한다.
