A 2-year-old female Pekingese dog was presented with primary complaints including exercise intolerance and neurological sign associated with hepatic encephalopathy. The major findings in clinical examination included an intermittent seizure, a slow heart rate with pulse deficit, leukocytosis and anemia in hemogram, elevated pre- and post-prandial serum bile acid and hepatic enzymes, hypoproteinemia, coagulopathy, ammonium urate crystaluria and bilirubinuria. Diagnostic tests revealed an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt complicated with a second degree atrioventricular block and QT prolongation. The case was successfully treated with a transvenous coil embolization. Clinical signs were gradually improved and cardiac bradyarrhythmia disappeared. This case is a rare case of intrahepatic portosystemic shunts complicated with a cardiac bradyarrhythmia in a small breed dog fixed by a transvenous coil embolization.

본 연구에서는 엑서사이즈 프로그램이 FES를 이용한 하반신 마비환자의 일어서기 및 보행에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였으며, 또한 주요 다리근육들의 전기자극에 대한 수축특성과 피로특성에 주안점을 두었다. 정상인 10명과 완전 하반신 마비환자 4명의 대퇴사두근에 연속적 혹은 간헐적으로 전기자극을 가하였고, 자극주파수는 20Hz와 80Hz로 하였다. 또 근육의 길이에 따른 피로현상을 살펴보기 위하여 무릎의 각도를 90$^{\circ}$와 150$^{\circ}$로 각각 고정한 뒤 무릎신근 토크를 측정하였다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 남자 하반신 마비환자의 대퇴사두근과 장딴지근에 지난 2년간 FES엑서사이즈를 시행하였다. 무릎신근의 근력이 체중을 지지하기에 충분하다고 판단되었을 때 FES 일어서기를 시작하였으며, 자세교환 연습을 거친 뒤 평행봉 혹은 워커를 잡고 정전압 자극기와 표면전극을 사용한 4 또는 6채널 자극으로 보행하도록 하였다. 마비된 근육은 정상인과는 반대로 최적길이 부근에서 상대적으로 급격한 피로를 나타내었고, 저주와 자극과 간헐 자극이 피로를 지연시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 실험에 참가한 환자는 FES 엑서사이즈 프로그램을 실시한 결과, 근력이 초기의 10배 정도로 증가하였고, 피로지수는 초기의 절반 정도로 감소하였으며, 엑서사이즈 횟수를 매주 6일에서 7일로 바꾼 후 근력이 눈에 띄게 향상되었다. 환자 자신의 잔존능력도 향상되어 양쪽 무릎을 10cm정도 들어올릴 수 있게 됨으로써 보행시 스윙 단계에서 이 능력을 최대한 활용할 수 있었다. 현재 환자는 워커를 잡고 스스로 자극기의 스위치를 조작하면서 4채널 자극에 의하여 10m/min의 속도로 최대 약 2분 40초의 보행이 가능하다.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of ladder-climbing exercise training on neurobiological markers in the hippocampus of mice with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Twenty-one C57BL/6 male mice were randomly assigned to the non-diabetic control (NDC, n = 7), diabetic control (DC, n = 7), and diabetic training (DT, n = 7) groups. The DT group performed ladder-climbing training (LCT) five times a week for eight weeks. We measured the levels of hippocampal neurobiological markers (catalase [CAT], brain-derived neurotrophic factor [BDNF], nerve growth factor [NGF], amyloid-beta [Aβ], tau, and CC motif chemokine ligand 11 [CCL11]). The BDNF levels were significantly higher in the DT group than in the DC group (p < 0.05). The Aβ and CCL11 levels were significantly higher in the DC group than in the NDC and DT groups (p < 0.05). The tau levels were significantly higher in the DC group than in the NDC group (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in CAT and NGF levels among the groups (p > 0.05). These results suggest that while T2DM could induce neurodegeneration, LCT may be effective in alleviating neurodegeneration caused by T2DM.

A 38-year-old female was admitted due to progressive exertional dyspnea and intermittent blood tinged sputum. Chest PA showed diffuse reticular infiltration accompanied by hyperinflation. $PaO_2$ was normal in resting state but profoundly decreased during exercise. Spirometry showed severe obstructive pattern but DLCO was markedly decreased. Lung volumes measured by helium equilibrium method was increased. On HRCT, numerous and relatively uniform sized cysts were evenly distributed throughout the bilateral lung fields. Open lung biopsy was performed and pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis(LAM) was diagnosed based on the findings of abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymphatic vessels, bronchioles, and small pulmonary veins. Immunohistochemical staining was negative for estrogen receptor but positive for progesterone receptor. Medroxyprogesterone therapy was initiated.

A 7-month-old female Shih-tzu dog was presented with intermittent trembling, dyspnea, generalized muscle weakness, and unconsciousness after exercise. No remarkable findings were shown in the complete blood counts and the radiographic examination. On serum biochemical profiles, alkaline phosphatase and creatine phosphokinase were mildly elevated. Based on history takings, physical examination, and neurological findings, presumptive diagnosis was made as a myasthenia gravis (MG). Clinical signs of this patient were dramatically improved after administration of neostigmine. The result of acetylcholine receptor antibody test in serum was 0.89 nmol/L and the histopathology of muscle were normal. Clinical sign of the patient evaluated in this study is stabilized with long-term administration of pyridostigmine at this time. This case report here describes clinical and clinicopathological findings of a juvenile onset acquired MG in a Shih-tzu dog.

A 6 month-old male Labrador retriever was presented for intermittent lameness on the left forelimb after exercise. The dog was suffering progressive lameness that had started two months before. On mediolateral radiographic view of the left elbow, proximal margin of the anconeal process was irregular. A lucent, indistinct line separating the anconeal process from the ulna was observed, when the elbow joint was flexed. The lateral approach to the elbow joint was used and the ununited anconeal process was removed. The limb was bandaged after surgery for 7 days to support soft tissue and exercises were restricted. The dog showed normal limb function 3 weeks after surgery. On a telephone conversation with the owner 18 months after surgery, the dog was reported to maintain normal function of the limb.

Background and objective: Breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL) is a disabling complication with long term impact on quality on life after breast cancer treatment. Its management remains a major challenge for patients and health care professionals; the goal of this overview was to summarize effects of different treatment strategies for patients with BCRL. Methods: A thorough search was undertaken to allow a systematic review or meta-analysis of treatments for BCRL. Two investigators independently selected studies and abstracted the data. Results: Combined physical therapy (CPT) with different combinations of surgery, oral pharmaceuticals, low-level laser therapy, weight reduction, mesenchymal stem cell therapy, kinesio tex taping, and acupuncture might be effective in reducing lymphoedema, but exercise demonstrated no obvious benefit. The results of direct comparisons showed CPT might be more effective than standard physiotherapy (ST). Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) may not offer additional benefits to ST for swelling reduction, but could facilitate compression bandaging. MLD seemed to have similar effects with self-administered simple lymphatic drainage (SLD) or using an intermittent pneumatic compression pump (IPC). IPC might also not be associated with additional effectiveness for CPT. Efficacy of stem cell therapy vs. compression sleeve or CPT, as well as the effects of daflon and coumarin could not be established. Conclusion: Although many treatments for BCRL might reduce lymphoedema volume, their effects were not well established. The quality of many of the original studies in the included reviews was not optimal, so that in future randomized control trials are a high priority.
