초록

We evaluated the change of quadriceps angle (QA) after tibial tuberosity transposition. Twenty-nine animalsand 37 limbs of the total 62 case possibilities qualified for this study. The preoperative QA was 24.02 ± 4.02 in grade2, 26.08 ± 5.66 in grade 3 and 30.25 ± 7.41 in grade 4. The postoperative QA was 21.25 ± 3.24 in grade 2, 19.16 ± 3.92in grade 3 and 19.72 ± 7.30 in grade 4. The postoperative QA for all grades significantly decreased when comparedwith the preoperative QA (P < 0.05). However, the postoperative QA values were not within the normal range, althoughthe dogs’ prognosis remained good during the 4-month follow-up period. These results suggest that postoperative QAoutside of the normal range may be allowed clinically.

fasting glucose, have been gradually recognized as important prognostic factors in disease progression. However, todate, no study has investigated glucose abnormalities in dogs with chronic mitral valve insufficiency (CMVD). Thus,we hypothesized that glucose metabolism abnormalities due to heart failure may develop in dogs with CMVD. Aprospective study was performed on 113 client-owned dogs with variable CMVD severities. Serum insulin, glucagon,fructosamine, and glucose concentrations were measured, and insulin resistance was determined using the homeostaticmodel assessment (HOMA) score. The serum insulin concentration had a significant inverse association with the heartfailure severity. However, there was no significant association between the heart failure severity and fructosamine,HOMA score, and fasting blood glucose. Insulin, fructosamine, and HOMA had a significant positive association withbody condition scores (BCS), whereas glucose had no association. This study found that insulin secretion in dogswith naturally occurring heart failure due to CMVD might be compromised as the disease worsens
