This retrospective study was performed in 40 cases of canine crystalluria and urinary tract symptoms. Breed, age, sex, diet history and common clinical signs were investigated for patient information. CBC, serum chemistry, urinalysis, urine culture, urine sediment and urinary stone analysis were undertaken for clinicopathological diagnosis. Crystalluria and urinary tract symptoms occurred from 6 months till 14 years in this clinical investigation and the average age was 4.68 years. It had taken an average 7.4 weeks to correct crystalluria and urinary tract symptoms treated by supportive therapy and dietary management. In conclusion, regular clinical pathologic examination, treatment and diet management should be needed to prevent the formation of urolithiasis and urinary tract diseases in dogs with crystalluria and urinary tract symptoms.

Ethylene glycol poisoning can cause profound morbidity and is almost universally fatal if untreated. Central nervous system depression, pulmonary edema, and acute oligulic renal failure with crystalluria are among the most commonly encountered complication of ingestion. Ingestion of ethylene glycol may be an important contributor in patients with metabolic acidosis and subsequent renal failure. The diagnosis of ethylene glycol poisoning is based on nonspecific clinical symptoms and signs and indirect and direct laboratory measurement of ethylene glycol. As a result, diagnosis and treatment sometimes can be delayed. We describe 52-year-old man who visited to emergency department with mental change of unknown origin. The patient has high anion gap metabolic acidosis and renal failure due to ingestion of antifreeze that contained ethylene glycol. We used hemodialysis for elimination technique. The patient was discharged with minimal complication.

Silver sulfadiazine has been introduced to replace silver nitrate in the topical treatment of extensive burns and this drug exerts a prominent antibacterial action against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compound is painless upon application and insufficient sulfadiazine is absorbed to cause crystalluria. The primary purpose of the study was to clarify the antimicrobial action of zinc sulfadiazine ointment in comparison with silver sulfadiazine ointment as well as the pharmaceutical properties of the zinc sulfadiazine preparations. The results are summerized as followings: 1) The optimum ratio of two substrate compounds for the synthesis of zinc sulfadiazine are 2 moles of sulfadiazine and 1 mole of zinc sulfate at pH 6.0. 2) The stability of zinc sulfadiazine ointment preparation by using polyethylene glycol base, Beeler's base or polyoxyl 40 stearate base was more stable than that of silver sulfadiazine preparations. 3) The antimicrobial action of zinc sulfadiazine exhibits a stronger antimicrobial activity than that of sulfadiazine against Staphylococcus aureus but the opposite is true against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

생후 1개월령의 0.9 kg수컷 삽살개가 식욕부진, 배뇨곤란, 기립곤란, 침울을 주증으로 병원에 내원하였다. 신체검사에서는 빈맥, 저체온증, 점막창백 소견을 보였다. 혈액검사에서는 백혈구증가증과 빈혈소견이 있었고, 혈청생화학검사에서는 BUN (57.3 mg/dl)과 $NH_3$ ($584\;{\mu}g/dl$)의 증가, 알부민과 나트륨 및 칼륨의 저하소견을 보였다. 뇨검사에서는 혈뇨, 단백뇨, 당뇨, 세균뇨(Staphylococcus spp.)와 인산암모늄마그네슘결정뇨의 소견을 보였다. 방사선 검사에서는 확장된 방광과 요도내 2 mm크기의 결석을 발견할 수 있었다. 요도절개술로 요도내 결석을 제거하였고, 수술 후 환자는 정상적으로 회복되었다. 본 케이스는 요소분해효소 생산 세균의 감염과 고암모니아증을 동반한 어린 삽살개에서 스트루바이트 결석증 발생하였음을 보고한다.
