In the present study, we address systemically a case of renal disease developed in a 1 year-old male cocker spaniel dog in terms of clinical signs, clinical pathology and pathological examinations. The animal has been suffered from renal dysfunction signs such as polyuria, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea and weight loss. The dog was very weak and emaciated and had foamy contents with foul-smell in oral cavity. The animals showed notable decrease in the number of red blood cells and severe decreases of hemoglobin and hematocrit with or without changes of mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration values, indicating microcytic or normocytic hypochromatic anemia. In serum chemistry, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, phosphorous, Na and Cl, which are associated with renal function, were dramatically increased. In addition, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transferase, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol, lipase and amylase were also significantly elevated, while K concentration was notably decreased. Urinalysis indicated prominent proteinuria with increase of bilirubin. Despite of symptomatic treatments, the dog was getting worse in healthy condition and dead in the end. At necropsy, both kidneys were brownish, pale, slightly small, and have diffuse, firm and subcapsular pits. Histologically, the kidneys indicated prominent segmental or diffuse interstitial fibrosis in cortex and medulla as well as glomerulonephritis. The clinical signs, clinical pathology and histopathological abnormalities of the young dog presented were consistent with chronic glomerulonephropathy, which was suspected to be a case of familial renal disease in the juvenile cocker spaniel dog.

The present study was designed to examine whether water extract of Acanthopanacis cortex(AC) has an effect on renal functional parameters in association with the expression of aquaporin 2 (AQP-2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the ischemia/reperfusion induced acute renal failure (ARF) rats. Polyuria caused by down-regulation of renal AQP 2 in the ischemia-induced ARF rats was markedly restored by administration of AC (200 mg/kg, p.o.) with restoring expression of AQP 2 in the kidney. Administration of AC lowered the renal expression of HO-1, which was upregulated in rats with ischemia/reperfusion-induced ARF. The renal functional parameters including creatinine clearance, urinary sodium excretion, urinary osmolality, and solute-free reabsorption were also markedly restored in ischemia-ARF rats by administration of AC. Histological study also showed that renal damages in the ARF rats were abrogated by administration of AC. Taken together, the present data indicate that AC ameliorates renal defects in rats with ischemia/reperfusion-induced ARF.

So-gal(消渴) is a oriental medical pathologic state that is characterized by 3 major symptoms - thirst, polyphasia, polyuria - of which especially thirst features Sang-so(上消). Diabetes mellitus and So-gal(消渴) have many points in common. But there are considerable differencies between them, because they have obviously different diagnostic bases from each other. That is, oriental medicine places more weight on symptoms than clinopathologic laboratory reports. This case of stroke patient complained of severe thirst and additional dryness in the mouth, choking sensation in the chest, hidrosis, insomnia, dark colored urine, constipation. The patient had no clinical history of diabetes mellitus. Based on oriental medical standards, we diagnosed the case as Sang-so(上消). Several herbal medicines were dispensed for 48 days. And considerably effective result were obtained. Object : 1 case of stroke patient who complained severe thirst. Medication : . Seonghyangjeonggisan for 5 days (2000. 6. 9 - 6. 13.) . Paljeongsan for 21 days (2000. 6. 14. -7. 5) . Ikwonsan for 8 days (2000. 7. 6 - 7. 13) . Okcheonsan for 14 days (2000. 7. 14 - 7. 27) Result : 1. After administration of Paljeongsan, dark colored urine turned normal. 2. After administration of Ikwonsan, dryness in the mouth improved. 3. After administration of Okcheonsan, thirst significantly improved. Constipation, choking sensation, hidrosis, insomnia also improved.

10년령의 중성화 되지 않은 암컷의 요크셔테리어가 건국대학교 부속 동물병원으로 진료가 의뢰되어 왔다. 환축은 얼굴과 복벽에 심각한 괴사성 피부염을 보였으며 또한 다음다뇨 및 다식증을 나타내었다. 병력청취와 신체검사, CBC, 혈액생화학 검사를 토대로 하여 부신피질기능항진증을 의심하였고, 나아가 ACTH 자극시험을 통하여 쿠싱증후 군이 확진되었다. 또한, High Dose Dexamethasone Suppression lest (HDDST)극 통하여 뇌하수체 의존성 부신피질 기능 항진증임을 알 수 있었다. Mitotane을 이용한 치료가 개시된후 심자한 피부문제와 PUPD등의 임상증상들이 개선되었다. 그 후 mitotane 처치가 적절히 이루어지고 잇는가를 검증하기 위해 ACTH의 추가적인 검사가 수행되었다. 이 임상증례는 심각한 피부문제를 가지고 있던 환축이 오진단되고 치료의 핵심을 찾지못해 1년 이상 지속된 환축이 mitotane을 이용하여 성공적으로 치료되어 유지되고 있음을 보여주는 증례이다.

A 15-year-old, spayed female maltese dog was presented with polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, abdominal distention, alopecia and hyperpigmentation. The complete blood counts were in normal range, and the serum biochemistry revealed elevated level of glucose and globulin. Mild hepatomegaly was seen on radiography of abdomen. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed the uniformly enlarged left adrenal gland measured 2.4 cm in diameter. ACTH stimulation test and LDDST revealed hyperadrenocorticism. HDDST revealed pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism. On CT images, isodense mass with contrast enhancing was seen in left adrenal gland. Cytologic result is consistent with benign tumor. Adrenal mass was surgically removed and evaluated. Histopathologic examination revealed adenocortical adenoma.

Craniopharyngiomas are rare primary intracranial tumors. Despite their benign histological appearance, they are often associated with an unfavorable prognosis. The typical manifestations upon diagnosis are headache, visual impairment, polyuria/polydypsia, growth retardation, disturbance of pubertal development, and significant weight gain. The treatment options include radical surgery or radiotherapy, or a combination of these modalities. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is the most common adolescent hip disorder. SCFE occurs when the capital femoral epiphysis displaces posteriorly on the femoral neck at the level of the physis. The etiology of SCFE is thought to be multifactorial and may include obesity, growth surges, and less common endocrine disorders. The related endocrine disorders include hypothyroidism, growth hormone supplementation, hypogonadism, and panhypopituitarism. Reported herein is a case of panhypopituitarism caused by craniopharyngioma combined with SCFE.

7개월된 암컷 Cocker spaniel견이 3주전부터 체중감소, 구토, 탈수, 식욕저하를 보이면서 지속적인 미열을 동반한 다음과 다뇨를 주증상으로 시내 병원에 내원하였다. 담당 수의사의 진료내역을 검토한 결과 복수와 간종대, 혈액 도말 검사에서 비재생성빈혈과 흉부방사선 사진에서 좌측 중심부에 불규칙한 음영이 관찰된 것으로 기록되었다. 이후 prednisolone으로 치료하였지만 증상의 경과가 호전되지 않아 정밀진단을 위하여 환자의 혈액을 강원대학교 부속동물 병원에 분석, 의뢰하였다. 혈액화학검사에서 고칼슘혈증, 고질소혈증, 콜레스테롤혈증, 고인혈증, 저알부민혈증 및 대사성 산증을 보였으며 뇨검사에서 단백뇨를 동반한 약산성의 등장뇨가 관찰되었다. 임상증상과 실험실 소견에 근거하여 간과 신장에 대한 정밀한 검사를 위하여 입원을 요청하였으나 다음 날 환자는 폐사한 상태로 병원에 후송되었다. 보호자의 동의를 얻어 부검과 조직병리학적인 검사를 실시한 결과 간, 신장, 비장 등의 전신 장기에 과량의 아밀로이드가 침착되어 있음을 확인하였다.

The aim of the study was to evaluate ultrasonographic findings, affected age, hematology, blood chemistry and clinical signs according to open or closed cervix in 102 bitches presented for treatment of pyometra. The prevalence of pyometra according to breed was observed in Maltese 22.5%, Yorkshire Terrier 13.7% and Shih Tzu 12.7%. The mean age of dogs was $9.6{\pm}0.3years$, and open cervix pyometra was more prevalent than closed cervix pyometra. Clinical signs included anorexia, vaginal discharge, depression, polyuria/polydipsia, vomiting, and abdominal distension. The concentration of BUN and the activity of ALP in dogs with closed cervix pyometra were significantly higher than those in dogs with open cervix pyometra (p < 0.05). The white blood cell and neutrophils in dogs with closed cervix pyometra were significant higher than those in dogs with open cervix pyometra (p < 0.05). Ultrasonographic findings of the uterus with open or closed cervix pyometra showed variable patterns. The uterine wall was variable in appearance, from thick and irregular to smooth and thin. The uterine wall was thicker in open cervix pyometra than in closed cervix pyometra. The luminal cavity included smaller amount of anechoic fluid in open cervix pyometra than in closed cervix pyometra.
