A 2-year-old intact female dachshund dog was presented with recurrent subcutaneous nodules and fistulations on the neck, back and hip. The patient was diagnosed as a sterile nodular panniculitis based on the cytology, histopathology, and cultures for bacteria and fungus. The fistulas were surgically removed and methylprednisolone was administrated 2 mg/kg twice daily per oral. The lesions were all disappeared, but the relapses were happened when the dosage of the drug was tapered off. The repeated treatments with methylprednisolone or azathioprine were performed, consequently, the patient was controlled with relatively low-dosage methylprednisolone (0.25 mg/kg, every third day).

A 13-year-old neutered male Maltese dog presented to our hospital with lethargy and anorexia. Laboratory abnormalities included severe non-regenerative anemia (hematocrit, 12.9%; reticulocyte count 12.8 K/µL). The cytology of bone marrow revealed erythroid hypercellularity with mild myelofibrosis. Therefore, late-stage precursor-targeted immune-mediated anemia (PIMA) was diagnosed. Multimodal treatment including 2 immunosuppressant drugs (prednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil), antithrombic drug (clopidogrel), and blood transfusion was performed. The dog showed complete remission from PIMA, and the total duration of follow-up was 622 days. This is the first case report of canine PIMA managed successfully with prednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil in Korea.

A 2${\times}$3 factorial arrangement of treatments was used to determine the effects of olaquindox and cyadox on immune response of Landrace${\times}$Large-White geld piglets that had been orally given 10$^{10}$ CFU of Escherichia coli (E. coli, O$_{139}$:K$_{88}$). Factors included (1) E. coli inoculation or control, and (2) no antimicrobials, 100 mg/kg olaquindox and 100 mg/kg cyadox in the basal diet respectively. E. coli inoculums were orally administered 7 days after the diets were supplemented with olaquindox and cyadox. The effects of the two antimicrobials were assessed in terms of: (1) average daily gain (ADG), (2) systemic immune response (the number of white blood cells and lymphocytes, leukocyte bactericidal capacity, lymphocyte proliferation response to PHA, immunoglobulin concentrations, and total serous hemolytic complement activity), and (3) intestinal mucosal immunity including the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and immunoglobulin A secreting cells (ASCs) in the intestinal lamina propria. E. coli inoculation reduced ADG (p<0.05) during the period of d 0 to d 14 after the challenge while the antimicrobial supplementations improved ADG (p<0.01) during the experiment. ADG in cyadox-supplemented pigs was higher (p<0.05) than that in olaquindox-supplemented pigs. The antimicrobials decreased IEL and ASC counts in the jejunum and ileum (p<0.01) while E. coli inoculation caused them to increase (p<0.01). Jejunal ASCs in the cyadox-supplemented pigs were lower (p<0.05) than those in the olaquindox-supplemented. E. coli elicited increase (p<0.05) in white blood cell counts, leukocyte bactericidal capacity, lymphocyte proliferation rate, serous IgA concentrations, and serous hemolytic complement activity. The antimicrobials decreased the measured systemic immune parameters, but not significantly (p>0.05). The data suggest that olaquindox and cyadox suppress E. coli-induced immune activation, especially intestinal mucosal immune activation, which may be involved in the observed growth promotion.

Pyrifluquinazon은 quinazoline 계통의 살충제로 진딧물, 흰파리 등 해충에 대해 음식섭취를 조절하는 신경계 또는 내분비계에 작용하여 섭식행동을 제어하고 또한 식물조직에 추가적 손상을 방지, 식물체 바이러스 확산을 막는 역할을 한다. 국내에는 2012년 사과와 배에 신규 사용등록되어 식품의약품안전처에서 잔류허용기준을 설정하였다. 본 농약은 분자량이 464.3으로 큰 편이며, 증기압이 낮아 분석을 위한 기기로 HPLC-UVD를 선택하여 잔류허용기준 준수여부 확인을 위한 시헙법을 확립하였다. 추출용매는 간섭물질의 추출이 비교적 적은 acetonitrile을 사용하였으며, pyrifluquinazon의 Log $P_{ow}$값이 3.12로 극성에 가까운 물리화학적 특성을 감안하여 액-액 분배를 위한 용매로 dichloromethane을 사용하였다. 간섭물질 제거를 위한 clean-up과정에서는 silica 카트리지를 사용하였고, acetone으로 용출하여 최적의 정제조건을 확립하였다. 분석 결과 회수율은 70~120%로 나타났으며, 분석오차는 10% 미만, 실험실간 편차 ($RSD_R$(%)) > 0.01 mg/kg, ${\leq}$0.1 mg/kg 범위에서 3.40~15.4%로 코덱스 가이드라인 기준에 적합함을 확인 하였다. 또한 본 시험법의 재현성 및 선택성을 추가로 확보할 수 있도록 LC-MS를 통한 정성시험법을 추가로 확립하였다. 본 시험법은 신규 등록된 pyrifluquinazon 분석을 위한 신속 정확한 공정 시험법으로 식품공전에 등재되어 활용되고 있다.

Chloropicrin은 국내에서는 사용되지 않으며, 잔류허용기준이 불검출로 설정된 농약이다. 그러나 중국에서는 훈증제, 살균제, 살선충제 및 저장 곡물의 살충제로 사용되고 있으며, 잔류허용기준이 설정되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 중국 등에서 수입하는 식품 중 국내에서 사용하지 않는 농약에 대한 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 해당 농약을 신속하고 빠르게 검출할 수 있는 시험법을 개발하고자 하였다. Chloropicrin은 분자량이 작고 휘발성이 큰 화합물이므로 헤드스페이스 추출법을 활용하여 검체 추출액을 직접 GC에 주입하는 시험법을 개발하였으며, 확립된 시험법을 검증한 결과 회수율이 77.7~79.3%로 조사되어 코덱스 국제가이드라인(CAC/GL 40)에 적합함을 확인하였다. 정량한계 또한 0.05 mg/kg 이하로 매우 우수한 감도를 가지고 있음을 확인하였으며, GC-MS를 이용한 재확인과정을 추가로 확립하여 본 시험법의 신뢰도를 높였다. 확립된 시험법은 식품에 잔류할 수 있는 농약의 기준 준수여부에 대한 적합성을 판단하기 위한 공정시험법으로 활용되고 있다.

Synthetic cannabinoids JWH-018 and JWH-250 in 'herbal incense' also called 'spice' were first introduced in many countries. Numerous synthetic cannabinoids with similar chemical structures emerged simultaneously and suddenly. Currently there are not sufficient data on their adverse effects including neurotoxicity. There are only anecdotal reports that suggest their toxicity. In the present study, we evaluated the neurotoxicity of two synthetic cannabinoids (JWH-081 and JWH-210) through observation of various behavioral changes and analysis of histopathological changes using experimental mice with various doses (0.1, 1, 5 mg/kg). In functional observation battery (FOB) test, animals treated with 5 mg/kg of JWH-081 or JWH-210 showed traction and tremor. Their locomotor activities and rotarod retention time were significantly (p<0.05) decreased. However, no significant change was observed in learning or memory function. In histopathological analysis, neural cells of the animals treated with the high dose (5 mg/kg) of JWH-081 or JWH-210 showed distorted nuclei and nucleus membranes in the core shell of nucleus accumbens, suggesting neurotoxicity. Our results suggest that JWH-081 and JWH-210 may be neurotoxic substances through changing neuronal cell damages, especially in the core shell part of nucleus accumbens. To confirm our findings, further studies are needed in the future.

The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of radiographic examination of the splenomegaly associated with drug-induced splenic congestion and to establish the standard goal of the splenomegaly in dogs. Radiographic images of spleen in normal dogs were collected to determine the maximum diameter prior to, and 15 minutes after, administration of acepromazine, ketamine/diazepam combination, or propofol. Significant splenic enlargement was seen after administration of acepromazine, but statistical signalficant was found in a ventrodorsal view only. Splenic size tended to decrease after administration of ketamine/diazepam combination. Significant splenic enlargement was not found after administration of propofol. These results suggest that measurable splenomegaly can be detected by radiographic examination after some kind of drug administration and the evaluation of splenomegaly is more useful at ventrodorsal view than lateral view.

Background: Rocuronium bromide has been evaluated as a mydriatic agent in birds, but the species applied were limited and the dose and effect were variable. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of topical rocuronium bromide as mydriatics in 4 species according to horizontal palpebral fissure length: Feral pigeon (Columba livia), Common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), Northern boobook (Ninox japonica), and Eurasian eagle owl (Bubo bubo). Methods: A total of 32 birds (8 for each species) were included as pre-releasing examination. Rocuronium bromide was instilled in one randomly selected eye of each bird based on palpebral fissure length criteria (0.5 mg/50 µL for pigeons, 1 mg/100 µL for kestrels and boobook owls, and 2 mg/200 µL for eagle owls). The contralateral eye was used as control and treated with normal saline. After instillation of the drug, pupil diameter, pupillary light reflex, intraocular pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate were evaluated at 10 min intervals up to 180 min and at 30 min intervals up to 360 min. Results: Statistically significant mydriasis was obtained in all birds (p < 0.001). However, in boobook and eagle owls, marked mydriasis persisted until 360 min. Side effects including corneal erosion and lower eyelid paralysis were common, which was observed in 26/32 birds. Blepharospasm was also noted during this study. No systemic adverse signs were observed. Conclusions: Rocuronium bromide could be a good mydriatics option for 4 species of birds, however, further studies are needed to find lowest effective dose to reduce drug-related side effects.
