Beak trimming in laying hens is a routine practice in which about 1/3-1/2 of the upper and lower beak is removed with the aim of reducing cannibalism. This experiment aimed to identify if this procedure causes pain by examining self-administration of an analgesic (carprofen) and pecking behaviour in 80 laying pullets beak-trimmed by two different methods at one day of age using hot-blade cauterisation or infra-red cauterisation. We also tested a control treatment, pullets with intact beaks, and a positive control treatment of pullets beak trimmed at 10 weeks of age which were expected to experience some pain due to recent severing of the underlying nerves in the beak. At 11 weeks of age birds trimmed at 10 weeks of age pecked more (p<0.001) gently ($0.6{\pm}0.06N$) at a disc attached to a force-displacement transducer than birds trimmed at 1 day of age with an infra-red machine ($0.9{\pm}0.1N$) or a hot blade ($1.1{\pm}0.07N$) and intact birds ($1.2{\pm}0.1N$). Maximum force of pecks recorded was also lower (p<0.001) in birds trimmed at 10 weeks of age than birds trimmed at 1 day of age with an infra-red method or a hot blade and intact birds. However, the pecking force in birds trimmed at 10 weeks of age was not increased by providing them with analgesic-treated feed, though birds that ate more carprofen had a higher maximum force of peck (p = 0.03). Pecking force in birds beak-trimmed at 1 day of age was the same as the pecking force of intact birds, and was unaffected by feeding pullets carprofen. A method of self-administration of an analgesic had previously revealed that chickens in neuromuscular pain arising from lameness consumed more of a feed containing carprofen than healthy chickens. However, we found no evidence that beak-trimmed pullets consumed more carprofen-treated feed than pullets with an intact beak. It should be noted that the three beak trimming methods resulted in an average 34% reduction in beak length, considered a light trim, and is perhaps not representative of commercial birds where greater portions of the beak are removed. We conclude that although carprofen has been reported to have an analgesic effect on neuromuscular pain in chickens, it appears to have no analgesic effect on potential neuropathic pain arising from the nerves severed by a light beak trim.

This experiment was designed to investigate the analgesic effect of non-invasive electroacupuncture treatment on femoral head osteotomy in dogs. Twelve dogs were divided into 3 groups in this experiment. Electroacupuncture group was non-invasively electrostimulated in Huan Tiao (GB-30) acupoint for 10 minutes by 4.5V, 5Hz for 10 days. Medication group was treated with carprofen (4mg/kg, P.O.) for 10 days. Control group was not treated. Each group was pre-operatively and post-operatively scored by using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), SDS (Simple Descriptive Scale), NRS (Numerical Rating Scale), and measured serum cortisol levels. The results of VAS, SDS and NRS in electroacupuncture and medication groups were better than those of control group. And, the results of electroacupuncture group were better than those of medication group since 6th day after osteotomy in pain management(p<0.05). But, there were no significances in serum cortisol level among 3 groups. In conclusion, non-invasive electroacupuncture treatment showed sufficient analgesic effect on postoperative pain management after femoral head osteotomy, and VAS, SDS, and NRS scoring system would be adapted in evaluation of pain management.

Background: Management of pain from open wounds is a growing unmet healthcare need. However, the models available to study pain from wounds or to develop analgesics for the patients suffering from them have primarily relied on incisional models. Here, we present the first characterized and validated model of open wound pain. Methods: Unilateral full-skin excisional punch biopsy wounds on rat hind paws were evaluated for evoked pain using withdrawal responses to mechanical and thermal stimulation, and spontaneous pain was measured using hind paw weight distribution and guarding behavior. Evaluations were done before wounding (baseline) and 2-96 hours post-wounding. The model was validated by testing the effects of buprenorphine and carprofen. Results: Pain responses to all tests increased within 2 hours post-wounding and were sustained for at least 4 days. Buprenorphine caused a reversal of all four pain responses at 1 and 4 hours post-treatment compared to 0.9% saline (P < 0.001). Carprofen decreased the pain response to thermal stimulation at 1 (P ≤ 0.049) and 4 hours (P < 0.011) post-treatment compared to 0.9% saline, but not to mechanical stimulation. Conclusions: This is the first well-characterized and validated model of pain from open wounds and will allow study of the pathophysiology of pain in open wounds and the development of wound-specific analgesics.

최근 전세계적으로 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 NSAID계 약물의 최근 연구동향에 대하여 몇 회에 나누어 기고하겠습니다. John Vane이 아스피린과 유사한 약물의 새로운 작용방식을 제안한 것은 1971년으로 최근입니다. 이후 동물과 사람에서 더 안전하고 효과적인 화합물을 찾기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있습니다. 애완동물로 길들여진 개의 삶의 질에 대한 증가된 관심사항들과 이러한 종들을 위해 특별히 고안된 제품들의 개발로, 수의 임상에서 NSAID의 사용이 최근 들어 급격하게 늘어가고 있습니다. Vane과 동료들에 의한 COX엔 두 가지 형태가 있다는 것과 일부 NSAID의 선택적 작용의 확인은 최근에 있어서 가장 흥분되는 약리학적 발견중의 하나입니다. 이는 meloxicam, carprofen과 같이 부작용이 적으면서 더 좋은 진통, 소염작용을 발휘하는 화합물의 개발을 이끌어 냈습니다. 이 약들은 현재 수의임상 분야에 있어서 가장 성공적이며 새로운 NSAID의 하나로 점점 그 사용영역이 확대되고 있으며, 수의사들에 의해 넓게 사용되고 있습니다. 앞으로 기고할 자료는 1999년에 프랑스 파리에서 있었던 NSAID치료에 대한 심포지움에서 발표되었던 내용 및 학회지에 발표된 논문을 바탕으로 번역 및 편집한 자료임을 밝힙니다. 논문의 참고문헌은 지면상 생략하였으며, 참고문헌이 필요하신 분은 저희 교실로 연락하시면 얹든지 제공하여 드리겠습니다.

Fifteen dogs with clinical signs of paraparesis, paraplegia and urinary dysfunction were referred to Veterinary Medical leaching Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine, Konkuk University. According to physical and neurologic examination, survey radiograph and myelography, these patients were diagnosed as thoracolumbar intervertebral disc disease. All of them were treated with medical (prednisolone or carprofen, antibiotics), acupuncture (Ji Zhong, Bai Hui, Zhong Shu, Pang Guang Shu, Zu San Li, Huan Tiao) and physical therapy (hydrotherapy, thermotherapy, massage, manipulation, swimming). Of twelve patients were recovered of neurologic deficits within 21 days after the onset of treatment. However, three dogs were not resolved, which were found to have other spinal cord disease concomitantly. All of patients showed normal urination after treatment. Until 21 months after treatment, there were no recurrence in twelve patients. This study indicated that the conservative therapy could be effectively managed in paraparesis or paraplegia and urinary dysfunction which caused by intervertebral disc disease.

A 7-year-old, female pointer dog was referred to the SNU Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital for the evaluation of lameness in the pelvic limb of 10 days' duration. After the treatment for 2 weeks (carprofen 2.2 mg/kg, bid), the progressive, symmetric, ambulatory caudal paraparesis was profound. In the spinal myelography, left lateral extradural compression of the spinal cord over the ninth and tenth thoracic vertebral bodies was found. A left hemilaminectomy of the ninth and tenth thoracic vertebrae was done. A 1.5-cm-long, white extradural mass occupied the left side of the spinal canal. The tumor was identified histologically as lipoma. The 6 weeks after surgery the dog's complaints were much improved. Continuous evaluation is needed.

Thermal burn occurred in the anesthetized dog as a result of using hot pack to treat hypothermia. After hospital discharge, thermal burn leaded to secondary infection due to dog bites of the other dog in the house. After secondary infection, the treatment was performed with medication and bandaging. Because of the pain and infection from the wound, carprofen (2 mg/kg bid) and amoxicillin (20 mg/kg bid) were administrated orally for 40 days. And for 35 days, wet-to-dry gauze dressing was used to absorb purulent exudate. During this period, the burn eschar was removed completely from the burn site. After 35 days, the hydrophilic polyurethane foam ($Medifoam^{(R)}$, Ildong Pharm, Co., Korea) was admitted to the burn site for 30 days. $Medifoam^{(R)}$ made healing rate of the wound faster because the inner layer did not adhered to the wound, and newly formed tissue was protected. The second layer, hydrophilic absorptive layer absorbed excessive fluid and kept the wound surface moist. After 65 days after thermal burn, the wound was healed completely.
