Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, a gram-negative coccobacillus, is a member of the enterobacteriaceae family, and the illness has fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, mesenteric lymphadenitis, terminal ileitis, arthropathy, erythema nodosum. Specially in children, it is known as an important cause of acute renal failure due to acute tubulointerstitial nephritis. It has been recognized in a worldwide distribution. For the first time, the cases of acute renal failure caused by this organism were reported in Japan in 1980's. In Korea, the first case accompanying with ARF was reported in 1988. Since that, many cases have been reported in Seoul area, but no case in other places. So we report 2 cases of Y.P. infection accompanying with ARF in Pusan area, for the first time in other place than Seoul area.

Purpose : This study was to observe the nephroprotective effects of the traditional prescription, Daebuncheong-eum (DBCE). DBCE has generally been used for treating various renal diseases, including renal failure. Methods : Three different dosages of DBCE extract were orally administered once a day for 28 days. At the 23rd day after DBCE extract treatment, cisplatin was also treated. Then, 5 days after cisplatin treatment, all rats (6 groups of 8 rats each) were sacrificed. Changes on the body weight, kidney weight, serum BUN and creatinine levels were observed, along with changes to the kidney MDA and GSH contents. The results were compared with captopril 100mg/kg, from which the effects on cisplatin-induced acute renal failures have already been confirmed. Results : Cisplatin induced ARF are induced by oxidative stress and related lipid peroxidation in the present study. However, these ARFs and inhibition of antioxidant effects induced by cisplatin were dose-dependently reduced by treatment of all three different dosages of DBCE extracts. Conclusion : This study suggests that DBCE extracts show favorable effects on cisplatin-induced rat ARF.

Objectives : The object of this study was to observe the nephroprotective effects of Sojongchobisunki-tang (SCST), which has traditionally been used as Korean medicine for treating various renal diseases, on cisplatin-induced rat acute renal failure. Methods : Three different dosages of SCST were orally administered once a day for 23 days before cisplatin treatment (5 mg/kg, single intraperitoneally administered) and 5 days after cisplatin treatment (once a day for 28 days). 6 groups, of 8 rats per group were used in the present study after 7 days of acclimatization. Changes of the body weight, kidney weight, serum BUN and creatinine levels were observed, as well as changes of the kidney MDA and GSH contents. The results were compared with captopril 100 mg/kg of which the effects on cisplatin-induced acute renal failures are already confirmed. Results : Acute renal failure induced by cisplatin were induced by oxidative stress and related lipid peroxidation in the present study. However, these acute renal failures and inhibition of antioxidant effects induced by cisplatin were dose-dependently reduced by treatment at all three different dosages of SCST extracts. Conclusions : This study suggests that SCST extracts showed favorable effects on the cisplatin-induced rat ARF.

Purpose : This study was to observe the nephroprotective effects of the traditional prescription, Opi-san(OPS). OPS has been generally used for treating various edematous renal diseases, including acute renal failure. Methods : Three different dosages of OPS extracts were administered once a day for 28 days (5 mg/kg, single intraperitoneally administered). On the 23rd day after OPS extract treatment, cisplatin was treated. All the rats (6 groups of 8 rats each) were checked as follows. Changes of body weight, kidney weight, serum BUN and creatinine levels were observed, as well as changes to the kidney MDA and GSH contents. The results were compared with captopril 100 mg/kg, of which the effects on cisplatin-induced acute renal failures were already confirmed. Results : Cisplatin-induced ARF were induced by oxidative stress and related lipid peroxidation in the present study. However, these ARF and inhibition of antioxidant effects induced by cisplatin were dose-dependently reduced by treatment of OPS extracts except in the 100 mg/kg treated group. The effects of OPS extracts at 500 mg/kg were similar to those of 100 mg/kg of captopril. Conclusion : This study suggests that OPS extracts 500 mg/kg showed favorable effects on the cisplatin-induced rat's ARF as similar to 100 mg/kg of captopril.

Objective : The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion at SP6(Sanyinjiao) and BL28(Pangguanshu) on uranyl acetate-induced acute renal failure in rats. Methods : To induce experimental acute renal failure, uranyl acetate was intraperitoneally injected to rats by 5mg/kg. 3 days later acupuncture and moxibustion treatment was done at SP6(Sanyinjiao) and BL28(Pangguanshu) bilaterally of the rats. And then 4 days later, we measured rats' body weight, kidney weight, serum BUN, creatinine and serum eletrolyte levels(Na, K and Cl). Results : In the moxibustion group, hypertrophy index of kidney and serum BUN level were decreased marginally significantly, and serum creatinine, K levels were decreased significantly. But in the acupuncture group, there was no significance at this experiment. Conclusions : SP6(Sanyinjiao) and BL28(Pangguanshu) moxibustion can decrease serum BUN, creatinine, and serum eletrolyte levels on uranyl acetate-induced acute renal failure in rats. And the study will be done continuously about non-effect in the acupuncture group at this experiment.

PNH는 혈관내 용혈, 야간 혈색소뇨, 혈전증, 골수부전을 특징으로 하는 후천적 질환이며 소아에서는 매우 드물게 발생한다. 급성 신부전은 PNH의 합병증으로 알려져 있지만 우리나라 소아에서의 보고는 아직 없었다. 저자들은 소아에서 PNH로 인한 급성 신부전을 경험하였기에 이를 보고하며 용혈을 동반한 소아의 급성 신부전의 감별 진단에서 PNH가 포함되어야 한다고 생각한다.

We demonstrated that a mineral aqueous solution (MAS) administered to mice functionally and histologically protected against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure (ARF) and $CCl_4$-induced acute liver failure (ALF). In ARF model, 0.4 and 0.2% MAS decreased mortality and the serum concentrations of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatine in mice. Additionally, 0.4 and 0.2% MAS reduced contraction of distal convoluted tubules and suppressed expression of the proinflammatory cytokines interlukein-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-${\alpha}$) in the kidney. In ALF model, 0.4 and 0.2% MAS decreased serum concentrations of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in mice. Additionally, 0.4 and 0.2% MAS reduced necrotic areas and suppressed expression of IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ in the liver. These results indicate that a MAS might have protective effects against ARF and ALF.

Purpose : The object of this study was to observe the nephroprotective effects of Manjeonmoktong-san(MJMTS), which has traditionally been used as Korean medicine for treating various renal diseases, on cisplatin-induced rat acute renal failure. Methods : At first, three different dosages of MJMTS extract were orally administered once a day for 28 days. On the 23rd day after MJMTS extract treatment, cisplatin was treated. Then, 5 days after cisplatin treatment, all the rats (6 groups of 8 rats each) were checked in the present study. The changes to the body weight, kidney weight, serum BUN and creatinine levels were observed with changes on the kidney MDA and GSH contents. The results were compared with captopril 100mg/kg in which the effects on cisplatin-induced acute renal failures were already confirmed. Results : It showed dramatical decrease on the body weight, increase of serum BUN and creatinine levels were detected in cisplatin control as compared with intact control. In addition marked increase of kidney MDA contests and decrease of kidney GSH contents were also detected in cisplatin control as compared with intact control. it means that cisplatin induced ARF are induced by oxiidative stress and related lipid peroxidation in the present study. However, these ARFs and inhibition of antioxidant effects induced by cisplatin were dose-dependently reduced by treatment of all three different dosages of MJMTS extracts. Conclusion : This study suggests that MJMTS extracts have favorable effects on the cisplatin-induced rat ARF.
