For sociodemographic distribution, sex, marital status, education level, occupation status, and income level showed statistically significant differences. 2. Females had a lower subjective health status than did males. Muscle injury, hwa-byung, gastric disorder, lumbago, common cold, weight loss, and herbal tonics showed differences in prevalence rates between the sexes. 3. Arthritis, muscle injury, gastric disorder, ankle sprain, herbal tonics, and stroke showed differences in usage rates between the sexes. Likewise, major treatment methods had differences between the sexes. 4. There were no statistically significant differences between the sexes concerning acupuncture.

Inflammatory bowel disease and alimentary lymphoma are common gastrointestinal disorder in cats. More recently, ultrasonographic features associated with feline alimentary lymphoma has been recognized as a diffuse thickening of muscular layer of small intestine. We investigated correlation between thickening of muscular layer of small intestine and such disease. We found a significantly increased thickness of the muscular layer of small intestine in cats with lymphoma or IBD compared with healthy cats. When a muscularis to submucosa ratio > 1 and regional lymphadenopathy were found during ultrasonography on cats with gastrointestinal signs, full-thickness biopsy could be recommended to make sure presence confirmation of inflammatory bowel disease or alimentary lymphoma.

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) is a rare pustular skin disorder of dogs. Dapsone is treatment of choice, but ineffective in some cases. Therapeutic alternatives are limited and less effective. In humans, successful results with oral retinoid have been reported. To describe successful treatment of a dog that developed SPD with acitretin as an alternative drug of dapsone. A 7-year-old male neutered miniature schnauzer was presented with generalized pustules and crusts. SPD was diagnosed based on physical, cytological, and histopathological examination with direct immunofluorescence test. In this report, we describe a case of canine SPD treated initially by dapsone with poor response that improved with acitretin. Acitretin could be considered as an alternative drug in canine SPD.
