A congenital cystic adenoid malformation of the lung(CCAM) is characterized by an anomalous fetal development of the terminal respiratory structures, resulting in the adenomatoid proliferation of the bronchiolar elements and cystic formation. CCAM has been detected on the fetus, premature babies and stillborn as well as infants and children. An adult presentation of CCAM is extremely rare. When cystic lesions occur with a repeated infection, an evaluation of the cystic lesions requires a differential diagnosis of CCAM, sequestration, a lung abscess, a pneumatocele and a bronchogenic cyst. The definite treatment of CCAM is the surgical removal of the involved lobe. We report a case of a CCAM in a 24-year-old female with a brief review of the relevant literature.

To study the effects of oxytocin and three parasympathomimetic drugs such as neostigmine, bethanechol, and pilocarpine in reduction of interval between birth and incidence of intrapartum stillborn pigs, 213, sows and gilts which had been kept under the same condition, were randomly allotted to 4 treatment and one control groups. The side reactions of three parasympathomimetic drug were also examined. The results obtained were summarized as followings. 1. Parasympathomimetic-treated groups revealed tendence to shorter interval between birth than oxytocin-treated or control groups. 2. Stillbirth rate per litter was significantly less (p<0.01) in the parasympathomimetic-treated groups than in the oxytocin-treated or control groups. 3. Moderate to severe salivation and vomiting were found in many clams of the pilocarpine-treated and bethanecol-treated groups. The neostigmine-treated group showed nearly no side reaction and neostigmine found to the safest among three parasympathomimetic drugs.

The congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation [C.C.A.M.] of the lung is a rare lesion consisted of multiple cysts in the pulmonary parenchyma lined cuboidal or columnar epithelium. The C.C.A.M. presents clinically in three ways:[1] stillborn or perinatal death, [2] progressive respiratory distress in the newborn, and [3] acute and chronic pulmonary nfections in the older infant and child. We recently experienced two cases of C.C.A.M. of the lung, and have good surgical results. The first case was 29 days old male and the second case was 16 month old female who have been suffered from severe respiratory difficulty and pulmonary infection repeatedly each other. The lobectomies were performed, and the postoperative course was uneventful.

본 연구에 이용한 재료는 2001년부터 2008년까지 한국 종돈장에서 농장검정된 Yorkshire종, Landrace종의 암컷 48,101두의 자료를 이용하였다. 일반성분 분석은 품종별, 산차별, 년도별, 계절별 및 농장별로 분석하였고, 각 성장형질별 1산차 산자수 분석은 48,101두의 자료를 이용하여 성장형질 그룹별로 분석하였다. 일반 성분 분석에서 품종의 정육율 (p<0.05)을 제외한 부분에서 고도의 유의성(p<0.01)을 나타내었다. 일당증체량에서는 Landrace종 ($640.48{\pm}0.749g$)이 Yorkshire종 ($624.22{\pm}0.608g$)보다 우수하였으며, 등지방 두께에서는 Yorkshire종 ($13.44{\pm}0.030mm$)이 Landrace종 ($12.50{\pm}0.037mm$)보다 두껍게 나타났다. 각 품종에 대한 성장형질별 1산차 산자수 와 사산두수에서 Yorkshire종은 종료일령 161~165일령그룹을 기점으로 산자수가 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 일당증체량 620~640 g그룹과 등지방두께 13~14 mm그룹에서 산자수가 가장 많이 나타났다. Landrace종의 경우 일당증체량그룹에서 일당증체량이 증가할수록 산자수와 사산두수가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 등지방두께그룹에서 11 mm미만 구간에서 산자수가 가장 많았고, 등지방두께가 증가할수록 산자수는 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

To evaluate different housing systems, 80 gilts were randomly allocated at puberty to four treatments: i) sow stall in gestation followed by farrowing crate (SC), ii) group housing with individual feeding in gestation followed by farrowing crate (GC), iii) ESF (Electronic Sow Feeding) system in gestation followed by farrowing crate (EC), and iv) ESF system followed by group farrowing pen (EG). The results showed that stalled sows had a longer interval between puberty and second estrus (p<0.001). The sows kept in the ESF system gained more body weight (p<0.01) and backfat (p<0.05) prior to service, and more backfat during gestation (p<0.05), but also had greater backfat losses in the subsequent lactation (p<0.01). Sows changing from loose housing to confinement at farrowing had longer gestation length (p<0.001). Total litter size did not differ significantly between gestation treatments, but the number of stillborn piglets was significantly higher in the SC treatment (p<0.01). After weaning, SC sows had the longest interval for rebreeding (p<0.001). Some EG sows came into heat before weaning, giving this treatment the shortest interval. These results indicate that gestation confinement in sow stalls had several detrimental effects on sow performance relative to group housing.

Two cases of congenital hyperostosis at a pig farm were observed and examined pathologically in Landrace piglets. Twenty two piglets from 2 litters: 10 alive piglets in a litter and 2 stillborn and 10 alive piglets in another, were born with thickened forelimbs and some of them with thickened hindlimbs too. These piglets stowed symptoms of staggering and incoordination. Only one of these piglets could be reared normally and all the others died within 3 days of age. The thickened parts of their limbs were felt firm and not well pitted by finger pressing. An apparent ossification was identified on the central regions of the cross sections of the thickened limbs, and some pale, gray and ossiferous signs were found in the peripheral soft areas. On histopathological examination of the thickened limbs, it was found that the bone trabeculae were newly proliferated in a concentric form in central regions and in a radiated form in peripheral regions. The peripheral regions of the periosteum and perichondrium of new bone were proliferated with connective tissue and the edematous muscle bundles were atrophic and degenerative. Both the sows which produced piglets of congenital hyperostosis were mated with a different boar at next breeding and farrowed normal piglets. It was concluded that the swine congenital hyperostosis in the present cases was expressed by autosomal recessive gene of first mating boar.

Traumatic uterine rupture is uncommon but can be fatal and life-threatening for both the mother and infant. In addition to complications caused by trauma itself, such as pelvic fracture, gestational complications such as placental abruption, abortion, premature labor, rupture of membranes, maternal death, and stillbirth can occur. In particular, fetuses have been reported to have a high mortality rate in cases of traumatic uterine rupture. A 35-year-old pregnant female patient fell from the fourth floor and was admitted to our trauma center. We observed large hemoperitoneum, pelvic fractures, and spleen laceration, and the fetus was presumed to be located outside the uterus. The pregnant woman was hemodynamically unstable. Although the fetus was stillborn, angioembolization and surgical treatment were properly performed through collaboration with an interventional radiologist, obstetrician, and trauma surgeons. After two orthopedic operations, the patient was discharged after 34 days. This case report suggests the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of pregnant trauma patients.

LBD-001, a recombinant human interferon ${\gamma}$ produced by genetically engineered yeast as a host system, was intravenously administered to pregnant female rats (Sprague-Dawley) from day 7 to 17 of gestation at dose levels of 0.35$\times$10$^{6}$ , 0.69$\times$10$^{6}$ , and 1.38$\times$10$^{6}$ I.U./kg/day. As the control groups, hydrocortisone sodium succinate (5 or 10 mg/kg/day) was also similarly administered. Teratological effects of the test agents on fetuses and development of offsprings (F1 rats) were investigated. (1) No significant changes by the treatment of LBD-001 were observed in body weight, food and water consumption, feeding and nursing behaviors, and autopsy of pregnant or lactating mother rats. However, in hydrocortisone sodium succinate (10 mg/kg/day)-treated group, significant decreases of body weight on day 16, 18, and 20 of gestation and food consumption on day 20 of gestation and outstanding atrophy of thymus and adrenals were observed in two rats autopsied on day 20 of gestation. (2) No significant changes in resorption rate, skeletal or visceral development of fetuses, and physical or sensory development of offsprings (Fl) by the treatment of LBD-001 were detected. In hydrocortisone sodium succinate (10 mg/kg/day)-treated group, however, there were significant decreases of body weight of fetuses, delay of ossification, temporary delay of body weights of offsprings (F1) on day 1 and 3 of lactation, and increased tendency of stillborn rate and malformation rate of bone. The results show that LBD-001 at the dose of 1.38$\times$10$^{6}$ I.U./kg/day or less is not teratogenic in organogenesis of fetuses and the development of offsprings (F1). Meanwhile, hydrocortisone sodium succinate (10 mg/kg/day) seems to delay ossification of fetuses and temporarily retard the development of offsprings (Fl).

Encephalomyocarditis virus infection in pigs, characterized by severe reproductive failure in sows and sudden death in less than 7 day-old-piglets, a period of several months from October to December of 1989, in Korea was occurred. The most outstanding gross lesions at necropsy were found in the heart which were consisted of pale, yellow brown necrotic foci of varying size in myocardium. In some cases, pulmonary edema and liver congestion were observed. Histopathology of the heart revealed the interstitial myocarditis, endocarditis and epicarditis with lymphocytic, plasmacytic and macrophage cell infiltration and, in some cases, calcification of the necrotic myocardial muscle fibers. In some cases of brain, the perivascular cuffing and glial nodules were observed. In the liver and the lacrimal gland varying degrees of multifocal necrosis were seen. The virus was isolated from the heart and the brain in a stillborn piglet and a mummified fetus. This outbreak represents the first case of encephalomyocarditis virus infection of pigs in Korea.
