The purpose of this study was to investigate protective effects against transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) infection in piglets by administration of the TGEV antiserum orally at 2hrs, 24hrs and 36hrs after birth. Five piglets administered with the TGEV antiserum were experimentally challenged with TGEV at four-day-old. Control group was four piglets challenged with TGEV only. Clinical signs and gross, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings were examined. In clinical signs, piglets of the control group appeared the typical signs such as severe watery diarrhea, depression and anorexia but piglets of the TGEV antiserum adminstered group recovered progressively. In clinical signs, piglets of the control group appeared the typical signs such as severe watery diarrhea, depression and anorexia but piglets of the TGEV antiserum adminstered group recovered progressively. In mortality, control group showed 75%, but TGEV antiserum adminstered group showed 20.0 %, respectively. In gross findings, piglets of the control group appeared the typical findings of congestion, distension of lumen, contaning curdes of undigested milk in stomach. But gross findings of piglets of the TGEV antiserum adminstered group appeared milder than them of control group. In histopathological findings, piglets of the control group appeared the typical findings of villous atrophy and fusion, congesion, exfoliation, vacuolation, squamation, loss of cilia and proliferation of crypt. But histopathological findings of piglets of the TGEV antiserum adminstered group appeared milder than them of control group. In immunohistochemical findings, piglets of the TGEV antiserum adminstered group showed more intensive in reaction for IgA and IgG than them of control group. The recation for IgA was stronger than that of IgG. It was concluded that oral administration of TGEV antiserum to piglets was effective to prevent TGEV infection and reduce their mortality.

To ascertain residual sonographic and histopathological findings of clonorchiasis after treatment, the present study evaluated sonographic findings in rabbits which were infected with 500 metacercariae of C.sinensis every 6 months for 18 months after treatment with praziquantel. The sonographic findings were analyzed in terms of intrahepatic bile duct dilatation and periductal echogenicity, and histopathological findings were observed after the last sonographic examination. Compared with the sonographic findings before treatment, dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts became mild to some degree in four of the seven cases and increased periductal echogenicity resolved in four of them. The histopathological specimens after 18 months showed that periductal inflammation has almost resolved but moderate dilatation of the intrahepatic ducts and mucosal hyperplasia persisted. The periductal fibrosis minimally resolved. The log-lasting sonographic findings in cured clonorchiasis make sonography less specific.

The purpose of this study was to investigate to protective effects against porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection in piglets by administration of the PEDV antiserum orally at 2 hrs, 24hrs and 36hrs after birth. six piglets administered the antiserum were experimentally infected with PEDV at five-day-old. Control group were four piglets infected with PEDV only. Clinical signs and gross, histopathological lesion and immunohistochemical findings were examined. The results obtained were as follows; 1. In clinical signs, piglets of the control group appeared the typical signs of severe watery diarrhea, depression and anorexia but piglets of the PEDV antiserum treated group recovered progressively. In mortality, control group showed 75%, but PEDV antiserum treated group showed 16.7%, respectively. 2. In gross findings, piglets of the control group appeared the typical findings of congestion, distension of lumen, containing curdes of undigested milk in stomach. But piglets of the PEDV antiserum treated group appeared milder than those of control group. 3. In histopathological findings, piglets of the control group appeared the typical findings of villous atrophy and fusion, congesion, exfoliation, vacuolation, squamation, loss of cilia and proliferation of crypt. But piglets of the PEDV antiserum treated group appeared milder than those of control group. 4. In immunohistochemical findings, piglets of the PEDV antiserum treated group showed more intensive in reaction for IgG and IgG than those of control group. The recation for IgA was stronger than that of IgG. It was concluded that oral administration of PEDV antiserum to piglets was effective in preventing PEDV infection and reduced their mortality.

This study was performed to examine the clinical, serological, ultrasonographic and pathological findings in dogs with acute liver disease induced by tetrachlorethylene at 4 times of anthelminthic oral dose. The results obtained through this experiment could be summarized as follows: 1. The dogs administered with tetrachlorethylene, revealed decreased body weight, and showed lethargy and depression. 2. In serological findings, bilirubin values slightly increased, AST and ALT was decreased at 1∼3 days, and after that time increased according to the lapse of days, and revealed the highest at 5 days, and decreased to normal values at 6 days. 3. In ultrasonographic findings, branches of the portal vein were increased, the echodensity of the liver parenchyma was decreased at early stage, and increased at mid stage, and decreased at last stage. 4. In histopathological findings, necrosis of parenchymal cell, and perivascular hemorrhage were observed more severely at 6 days, as compared with 3 days. There results suggest that ultrasonographic examination is considered to be a more simple, rapid, non-invasive and useful diagnostic method for acute liver parenchymal lesion.

To investigate the renal effects of enrofloxacin administration on rats induced with dehydration or hyperoxaluria, male rats were treated with enrofloxacin of 50 mg to 500 mg/kg b.w.. The microscopical observations of kidney and urine sediment were carried out in the experimental groups. The result obtained were as follows; The male rats deprived of water for 72 hours and administered with enrofloxacin. As enrofloxacin administration dose was increased, clinical signs such as loss of appetite, depression, weakness, and loss of urine output became more severe. In the histopathological findings, there were hyperemia and hemorrhage in renal cortex, vacuolation and necrosis of renal tubular epithelia, proteinous casts within renal tubules. The male rats were orally administered with sodium oxalate and injected with enrofloxacin for 7days. As enrofloxacin administration dose was increased, clinical signs such as the loss of appetite and water consumption, and weakness became more severe. In the histopathological findings, there are hemorrhage of glomeruli and cortical hyperemia, vacuolation and necrosis of tubular epithelia, proteinous casts in renal tubules. In the microscopical findings of urine sediment, there are calcium oxalate crystal (diamond-like type) and magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals (rhomboid). The male rats were intraperitoneally injected with sodium oxalate and administered with enrofloxacin for 7days. As enrofloxacin administration dose was increased, clinical signs such as the loss of appetite and water consumption, weakness were more severe. In the histopathological findings, there were hyperemia and hemorrhage in both glomeruli and renal cortex. Severe necrosis of renal tubular epithelia, bluish materials within renal tubules were also found. In the microscopical findings of urine sediment, there were many calcium oxalate crystals. The present results suggest that enrofloxacin has some injurious effects in rats having dehydration or hyperoxaluria, and clinically, we should consider these renal injury effects when we use enrofloxacin in patients accompanied renal disease, dehydration and hyperoxaluria conditions.

Postoperative suture granuloma have rarely been reported in animals. Eight biopsy masses from testes areas of neutralized dogs were diagnosed as suture granuloma. The suture granuloma occurred at any time from several weeks to a few years after surgery and appeared to be testicular tumors by macroscopic examination. The granulomas were classified into three types based on the histopathological findings. The first type of pyogranuloma was mainly composed of neutrophils, macrophages, and suture fragments. The second type was chronic necrotizing granuloma which was well demarcated by fibrous connective tissues and was composed of a few suture fragments, macrophages and central fibrinoid necrosis. The third type of granuloma had a poorly defined margin with scarcely observed suture fragments and central necrosis in the tissue. These histopathological findings suggested that various types of suture granuloma may be caused by suture material and could even appear long after surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging and histopathological characteristics of osteoradionecrosis(ORN) and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw(MRONJ). Materials and Methods: Ten surgical specimens from segmental mandibulectomy (3 ORN and 7 MRONJ) were analyzed using CBCT. The CBCT parameters were as follows: high-resolution mode (tube voltage, 90.0 kV; tube current, 4.00 mA; rotation time, 16.8 s; field of view, 56 mm×56 mm; thickness, 0.099 mm). Histopathological characteristics were evaluated using histological slides of the surgical specimens. The Pearson chi-square test was used to compare ORN and MRONJ in terms of CBCT findings(internal texture, sequestrum, periosteal reaction and cortical perforation) and histopathological characteristics(necrotic bone, inflammatory cells, reactive bone formation, bacteria, Actinomyces, and osteoclasts). A P value less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: MRONJ showed periosteal reaction on CBCT more frequently than ORN (7 of 7 [100%] vs. 0 of 3 [0%], P<0.05). Regarding histopathological characteristics, MRONJ showed osteoclasts more frequently than ORN (6 of 7 [85.7%] vs. 0 of 3 [0%], P<0.05). Conclusion: This study evaluated the CBCT imaging and histopathological characteristics of ORN and MRONJ, and the findings suggest that CBCT could be useful for the evaluation of ORN and MRONJ.

To investigate the effect of yeast glucan on wound healing in rabbits, histopathological findings and wound contraction after topical application of glucan on the open wound were observed. Formalin fixation and embedding of tissues at wound were prepared for histopathological findings at the other day after wounding. Wound size was measured for contraction. Macrophages appeared in the deeper site under the scab at day 1 after wounding in the glucan treated group, but not in the control. A number of macrophages, fibroblasts and a small number of neutrophils were observed at day 3 after wounding In the glucan treated group as compared with the control. Histopathological findings at day 5 after wounding in control were similar with those at day 3 in the glucan treated group. Glucan like granules were scattered in the cytoplasm of macrophages at day 5 in the glucan treated group. A great portion of wound reepithelialized at day 5 in the glucan treated group but a small portion of wound in the control. The Present study indicated that the treatment of 5,000$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of glucan has an effect on wound heal. ins in respect to migration of macrophage into the wound site, granulation tissue formation and epithelialization.

The bone regeneration effects of copper oxide on experimentally induced fibular fracture were examined in 36 New Zealand white male rabbits. They were divided into two groups: non-treated group (control group) and copper oxide treated group (treatment group). A fibular fracture was created by an osteotomy in the middle of the fibula and 62.5 mg/kg of copper oxide was orally administrated during 7 days after operation in the treatment group. Radiological findings, histopathological examinations and hematoserological findings were observed to evaluate the bone regeneration effects of copper oxide on fibula fracture during 9 weeks. In radiological findings, the area of bone regeneration at the fracture site of the treatment group was significantly wider from 3 weeks to 6 weeks after administration of copper oxide than those of the control group (p < 0.05). In histopathological examinations, fracture healing in treatment group was faster than in control group. Also, histopathological responses of thick bony trabeculae and new bone marrow formation were shown in the treatment group, whereas many fibrous tissues and cartilages were mainly observed in the control group. No specific effects of copper oxide on the body was found in hematological and serological test during experimental period. These results showed that the copper oxide had a potential therapeutic application in the treatment of fracture and bone trauma.
