  • A fifteen-year-old spayed female Pug was referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. The clinical sign was a restriction of the movement of the headneck and acutely presented for 5 days ago. On the basis of physical, laboratory and radiological examinations, the dog was diagnosed acute torticollis (wry neck). We treated two times the dog with acupuncture therapy for 2 weeks. The acupuncture points BL10, BL11, LU7 and SI3 were used. When the dog was rechecked at three weeks after the therapy, torticollis was disappeared and voluntarily head movement found. Thus, it is suggested that traditional acupuncture might be effective therapy for acute torticollis.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study was to propose appropriate strategic directions and road maps for successful achievement of programs preventing winter disease in the summer. Methods : Details on programs preventing winter disease in the summer such as clear concept, theoretical basis, current status, intervention or available prescriptions and indication/contraindication/caution were prepared through the related journal review, upon which an observational study was devised and done for simulation to find out even a trivial problem and to guarantee the safety beforehand. The experimental group was divided into 5 groups by the size of pill and the way ginger is treated; 1cm pill with ginger group, 3cm pill group without ginger, 3cm pill group dipped into ginger, 3cm pill group applying ginger to acupoints and 3cm pill group with ginger Results 1. program preventing winter disease in the summer was defined as representative winter diseases such as common cold, influenza, chronic asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, emphysema, chronic gastritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and preventive care in the summer, reinforcing deficient yang qi of five viscera by using exuberant yang qi from summer heat. 2. It was based upon historically established theories which is 'nourishing yang qi in the spring and summer', 'long summer, namely rainy spell in the summer overwhelms the winter, because of earth winning water according to the five phases theory' and 'To replenish yang qi is major principle to treat winter diseases, which can be most appropriately and timely applied to the patient with deficient yang qi of five viscera inherently, especially in the three dog days of the summer, because of exuberant exterior yang qi and deficient interior yang qi in the five viscera'. 3. In the adjacent China and Taiwan, acupoint applying method in the three dog days named 'San Fu Tie' have been stirring a boom throughout the nation, in which Xiaochuan Gao was used as a basic prescription and it mainly was applied at bilateral $BL_{13}$, $_{15}$ and $_{17}$ for about 4 hours. As far as domestic current status, the necessity of adopting the above method prior to Herbal formula was also recognised, because not a few koreans have apprehension for the safety of it including medicinal herbs and are reluctant to take it any more due to negative advertisement of narrow minded doctors' association. 4. Indication of acupoint applying method in the three dog days included most of winter diseases such as common cold, influenza, chronic asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, emphysema, chronic gastritis. contraindication was pregnant woman and the weak such as infants and the old. More attention was paid to grasp firmly the normal reaction following the treatment for preventing side effect and teasing blister. recommendation was also given to abstain from food inducing phlegm and dampness such as meat, shrimp and crab as well as cold drinks and foods 5. In the simulation observational study based upon the above findings following review the related articles, no blister was shown on the acupoints icluding bilateral $BL_{13}$, $_{15}$ and $_{17}$ in every experimental group during 24hr observation following the acupoint applying treatment with pills made by modified and devised prescription. At 4 hr, the effectiveness of it reached a peak showing redness and mild tenderness and there is little difference between groups 3cm pills groups regardless of the way ginger was treated. abdominal distention and growling was found in all the volunteers during the treatment at CV 8. Strategic directions and road maps : Through successful fulfillment of the program preventing winter disease in the summer, Korean traditional medicine should be integrated into mainstream national health care services. Cultural access was thought to be as important as Scientific EBM approach. First of all, To evoke potential cultural homogeneity from campaigns and press advertisement was needed for promoting public awareness about preventing winter disease in the summer by enhancing immunity via acupoint applying treatment in the three dog days, and then indigenous name as Sambokcheop, protocol, Clinical Research Form for data collection of it should be developed and prepared. Once the first step was taken this summer, through a thorough data collection and scrutinized scientific evaluation, drawbacks should be compensted for and the efficacy and safety should be substantiated.

  • A 10-year-old intact female, mixed breed dog presented with abdominal distention of 2 months duration and three days of decreased appetite. The patient was conscious and no other gross abnormalities were noted. A tentative diagnosis of idiopathic massive hematoma or hemangiosarcoma was made on evaluating all clinical findings. Splenectomy was performed for treatment of abdominal distention and histopathological investigation was initiated to confirm the diagnosis. The hematoma was extremely massive on gross morphology, with the size of $20.2{\times}12.4cm$ and the splenic mass was diagnosed as hematoma formation, with moderate to marked lymphoid hyperplasia and adjacent moderate extramedullary hematopoiesis, based on microscopic description of spleen histology. This is the first case report in veterinary literature of a dog with extremely rare splenomegaly, an unusually large hematoma, with no malignancy or remarkable clinical signs.

  • An 11-year-old, intact male Cocker Spaniel dog was presented with history of abdominal distension, dyspnea for 10 days and lethargy for 1 day. Abdominal radiographs showed decreased serosal detail with abdominal distension. Abdominal ultrasounds revealed gallbladder mucocele with generalized peritonitis showing stellate-like sludge in the gallbladder with echogenic fat degeneration of cranial abdomen and abdominal free fluid containing echogenic materials. Loss of gallbladder wall integrity was shown clearly on computed tomography but ambiguously on ultrasound. Ultrasound-guided abdominocentesis was performed and showed amount of yellowish-bloody peritoneal fluid with vegetable matter and mucoid substance. On peritoneal fluid analysis, bilirubin level was elevated over three times than those of the serum. On exploratory laparotomy, gallbladder rupture and generalized bile peritonitis with intestinal adhesions were confirmed and cholecystectomy with peritoneal lavage was performed. One day after operation, patient died. This report describes delayed clinical symptoms of gallbladder rupture by gallbladder mucocele. In addition, this is the first case report using computed tomography made a diagnosis gallbladder rupture in a dog. Computed tomography might be helpful to diagnose gallbladder rupture.

  • The purposes of this study were to define the life cycle of Echinococcus and its species and subspecies in Korea. The results were as followings: 1. The patent period day of Echinococcus granulosus was 50 days. 2. The life cycle of Echinococcus granulosus was dog-cattle-dog, as cattle-dog originating adult. 3. The sine of the adult worm was measured from 2.2mm to 6.2mm, but most of them was between 3.0mm and 4.0mm (40% of all). 4. Although the number of segments was from three to five proglottids, most of them was 3 proglottids(76.7%), as immature, mature and gravid, respectively. 5. The habitat of the adult worm was recognized as duodenum or pyloric region in the dog. 6. According to the results above, we could be proved that the hydatid cysts of he Echinococcus discovered in Jeju-do, was Echinococcus granulosus granulosus.

  • This study was performed to observe the susceptibility of dogs and cats as definitive hosts of Paragonimus ilektsuenensis. The metacercariae of this luke were obtained from Sesarma dehaani collected at a focus near the mouth of Sumjin river in November, 1986 and February, 1987. The larvae isolated from the crabs were introduced Per os into 7 albino rats, 2 dogs and 3 cats. The adults were recovered from the experimental animals, End they were morphologically observed and measured. The results were as follows: 1. The recovery rate of adult worms at 42 days after infection was 53.3% from three albino rats, 21.0% from a dog and 12.7% from two cats. Most of the worms were recovered from the worm capsules in the lungs. 2. The size of worms recovered from albino rats, a dog, and cats 42 days after infection aver-aged $6.3{\times}3.2mm,{\;}6.3{\times}3.0mm,{\;}or{\;}6.2{\times}3.5mm$, respectively. There were little differences in the morphology of worms by different experimental animals. 3. The size of eggs from a dog was $88.9{\times}49.3{\mu\textrm{m}}$, and that from cats was $84.3{\times}53.7{\mu\textrm{m}}$ on average. Dogs and cats were good definitive hosts of p. iloktsuenensis. This fact suggests that human infection by this luke may be possible if the metacercariae were ingested.

  • The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the pulmonary perfusion scan(Pp scan) in the experimental animal single lung transplantation. Eight left lung transplanted mongrel dogs were included in this study. The serial Pp scan with 111MBq $^{99m}TC-MAA$ were done at the periods of immediate postoperative period, POD 3 days, and POD 10-14 days and finally autopsy was done in each cases. The transplanted lung perfusion was analysed as a percentage radioactivity of trans planted/native lung(T/N) ratio. The Pp scan of a donor mongrel dog was used as a reference(left/right lung (T/N) ratio 85.2%). The average T/N ratio of all cases on immediate postoperative state(reperfusion injury) : 19.2%, three acute rejections. 12.6%, three bronchial dehiscences 6.1% and two pulmonary thromboses : 2.0%. Two cases showed moderate improvement of reperfusion injury as increasing the T/N ratio in POD 3 days Pp scan. The T/N ratio showed sequentially decreased in six cases. As a conclusion, the Pp scan could be a non-invasive method in the evaluation of the experimental one-lung transplanted mongrel dog.
