Objectives: Cucumis sativus L. (C. sativus) is vegetable commonly used for managing blood pressure and often consumed in combination with standard antihypertensive therapy, despite lack of scientific evidence supporting their use. Combination of herbs and standard medication could have positive or negative effects. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the antihypertensive activity of C. sativus and the combined effect with losartan in the hypertensive rat model induced by angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system that, upon binding to its receptor, constricts blood vessels leading to elevation of blood pressure. Methods: In an antihypertensive study, rats received C. sativus orally at doses of 9, 18, 27, and 36 mg/kg (full dose); while in a combination study, animals received losartan 2.25 mg/kg combined by either with C. sativus 9 or 18 mg/kg. The standards group received losartan 2.25 mg/kg or 4.5 mg/kg (full dose). Results: Blood pressure was measured using the tail-cuff method. C. sativus significantly attenuated angiotensin II-induced hypertension as observed in groups receiving C. sativus at 9, 18, 27, and 36 mg/kg at 30 minutes after induction showed the average change (Δ) of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) with respect to time zero were 28.8/18.3, 24.8/15.8, 22.8/15.5, and 11.5/9.0 mmHg, respectively. Whereas the average change (Δ) of SBP and DBP in the rats receiving the combination of half doses of C. sativus and losartan were 8.8/9.0 mmHg, respectively. These diminished effects were better than a full dose of C. sativus and comparable with a full dose of losartan (6.5/7.8 mmHg). Conclusion: The present findings indicate that C. sativus dose-dependently blocks blood pressure elevation induced by angiotensin II. The combination of half dose of C. sativus and losartan has an additive effect in lowering blood pressure.

만성적 스트레스가 있는 상황에서, 과잉 생산된 cortisol은 glucocorticoid receptor (GR)를 활성화시킴으로써 해마(hippocampus)에 있는 신경 세포에 손상을 줄 수 있다. Cortisol을 생성하지 못하는 동물들의 경우, corticosterone이 스트레스 호르몬의 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 한편, 인간의 경우, corticosterone은 aldosterone의 전구물질 이거나 cortisol과 비슷한 특성을 가지는 하나의 glucocorticoid로만 여겨져 왔다. 최근 인간을 대상으로 cortisol과 dexamethasone과 같은 합성 glucocorticoid의 기능에 관한 연구가 많이 이루어져 왔으나, corticosterone의 정확한 기능에 대하여 많이 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서 corticosterone을 여러 농도로 SH-SY5Y 세포에 처리한 후 24시간과 48시간 때 viability를 조사한 결과, 높은 농도($500{\mu}M$과 $1,000{\mu}M$)에서 SH-SY5Y 세포의 성장 억제가 관찰된 반면, 낮은 농도($100{\mu}M$)에선 그 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 맥문동, 오미자, 복신 열수 추출물에 대한 세포 독성을 실시한 결과, 세 시료 모두 농도가 높아질수록 높은 세포 독성을 보였다. 한편, $500{\mu}g/ml$의 맥문동은 corticosterone에 의해 유도된 세포 성장 억제를 완화시켜 세포 성장을 회복시키는 효과를 보였다. 마지막으로, 맥문동 $500{\mu}g/ml$에 오미자와 복신의 농도를 달리하여 제조한 여러 혼합물의 시너지 효과를 알아본 결과, 대부분 혼합물이 약간의 효과를 보이긴 했으나, 음성 대조군 수준만큼 회복되지는 않았다.

It has been well known that peripheral infusion of angiotensin II results in an increase of blood pressure, and an elevation of aldosterone secretion, and an inhibition of renin relase. However, the direct effect of angiotensin II on renal function has not been clearly established. In the present study, to investigate the effect of angiotensin II on renal function and renin release, angiotensin II (0.3, 3 and 10 ng/kg/min) was infused into a unilateral renal artery of the unanesthetized rabbit and changes in renal function and active and inactive renin secretion rate (ARSR, IRSR) were measured. In addition, to determine the relationship between the renal effect of angiotensin II and adenosine, the angiotensin II effect was evaluated in the presence of simultaneously infused 8-phenyltheophylline (8-PT, 30 nmole/min), adenosine A 1 receptor antagonist. Angiotensin II infusion at dose less than 10 ng/kg/min decreased urine flow, clearances of para-amino-hippuric acid and creatinine, and urinary excretion of electrolytes in dose-dependent manner. The changes in urine flow and sodium excretion were significantly correlated with the change in renal hemodynamics. Infusion of angiotensin II at 10 ng/kg/min also decreased ARSR, but it has no significant effect on IRSR. The change in ARSR was inversely correlated with the change in IRSR. The plasma concentration of catecholamine was not altered by an intarenal infusion of angiotensin II. In the presence of 8-PT in the infusate, the effect of angiotensin II on renal function was significantly attenuated, but that on renin secretion was not modified. These results suggest that the reduction in urine flow and Na excretion during intrarenal infusion of angiotensin II was not due to direct inhibitions of renal tubular transport systems, but to alterations of renal hemodynamics which may partly be mediated by the adenosine receptor.

가성 저알도스테론혈증은 신장 세뇨관의 알도스테론 수용체의 이상으로 알도스테론의 분비는 증가되지만 반응성은 감소되어 저알도스테론혈증의 증상을 보이는 질병이다. 가성 저알도스테론혈증은 다뇨증, 과도한 소변 내 염분소실, 저나트륨혈증, 고칼륨혈증, 대사성 산증을 특징으로 하며, 산전부터 다뇨 증상이 시작되면 양수과다증을 초래할 수 있다. 미숙아에서는 생후 초기 불감 수분 손실량이 많으며, 폐 기능과 신장 기능이 미숙하여 전해질 이상을 흔히 동반하는데, 몸무게의 소실에도 불구하고 지속적인 다뇨와 저나트륨혈증, 고칼륨혈증의 증상이 있다면 전해질 불균형을 초래하는 기저질환을 확인하여야 한다. 저자들은 양수 과다증의 산전력이 있는 산모에게서 출생한 재태주령 32주 미숙아에서 지속적인 몸무게 감소에도 불구하고 계속되는 다뇨와 저나트륨혈증, 고칼륨혈증이 있어 17수산화프로게스테론을 조기에 선별 검사하여 선천성 부신 과형성증의 가능성을 배제함으로써 불필요한 스테로이드 치료를 피하고, 지속적인 전해질 보충으로 점차 전해질 이상의 호전을 보인 가성 저알도스테론혈증 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

이 실험의 목적은 탄수화물 부하식이요법시의 삼출건비방 투여가 달리기 선수의 뇨중 대사성분변화에 미치는 영향에 대해 관찰 연구한 것이다. 탄수화물 부하식이시 삼출건비탕(蔘朮健脾湯) 투여는 전해질대사 관련 변인에 있어서 $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, $K^+$, $Ca^{+ +}$에 유의성 있는 영향을 미쳤으며, 이는 세포막 투과성의 변화를 의미하는 것으로 $Na^+$-$K^+$ pump의 활성도가 증가하여 운동수행능력을 향상시킬 것으로 기대되나 추후 전해질 대사와 관련하여 renin, aldosterone 등의 호르몬 분비 기전에 관해서도 지속적인 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사려된다.

목 적 : 레닌-안지오텐신계가 혈압 조절에 있어서 핵심적인 역할을 한다는 것은 이미 잘 알려진 사실이며, 이 체계의 한 구성 요소인 angiotensinogen을 암호화하는 유전자가 고혈압의 유전적 감수성을 결정하고 심혈관계 합병증 발생에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구의 목적은 고혈압 청소년에서 angiotensinogen 유전자 다형을 분석하고, 특정 유전자형이 심혈관계 합병증의 예측 인자가 될 수 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 16세에서 17세 사이의 수축기 혈압 140 mmHg 이상이거나 이완기 혈압 90 mmHg 이상인 40명의 고혈압 청소년과 57명의 정상 청소년을 대상으로 하였다. 비만도, 체질량지수를 측정하였고, 안정된 상태에서 수축기, 이완기 혈압을 측정하였다. 호모시스테인, 인슐린, 레닌, 알도스테론, 안지오텐신 전환 효소(angiotensin convering enzyme, ACE)를 측정하였고, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)을 이용하여 angiotensinogen (M235T) 유전자형을 분석하였다. 경부 초음파로 경동맥 내중막 두께와 경동맥 직경을 측정하였고, 이를 이용하여 경동맥의 유순도와 신전도를 구하였다. VP-1000을 이용하여 pulse wave velocity (PWV)와 ankle-brachial index (ABI)를 측정하였다. 유전자 다형별로 각 계측치를 비교, 분석하였다. 결 과 : Angiotensinogen 유전자 다형 분석에서 T/T 군 25명(62.5%), M/T 군 14명(35%), M/M 군 1명(2.5%)로 정상 청소년과 유의한 빈도의 차이가 없었다. 고혈압군에서 인슐린, 레닌, 체질량지수, 비만도에서 세 유전형군 간의 유의한 차이가 나타났으나, 경동맥 내중막 두께와 직경, 신전도, 유순도, PWV, ABI에서는 세군 간의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : Angiotensinogen의 특정 유전자 다형과 심혈관계 합병증간의 유의한 연관성은 없었으나, 본 연구의 고혈압 청소년 대상이 적었으므로 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

겨울철 김장김치 12종, 시판 sausage 8종, 생선 9종, 젓갈류 6종, 생선 통조림 5종등 40여종의 식품을 수거하여 nitrosamine의 전구물질인 제2급아민과 아질산염의 식품중 분포를 조사한 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 아질산염의 함량은 본(本) 조사대상(調査對象) 식품중(食品中) sausage에서 가장 높아 평균 $3.56{\sim}18.70ppm$ 이었다. 이것은 발색제(發色劑)로 첨가가 허용되고 있기 때문이므로 식품 위생법상 아질산염 또는 질산염의 잔존량 허용기준을 재조정함이 요망된다. 2. 제2급아민의 식품중 분포(分布)는 생선류에서는 평균 $.0.15{\sim}5.60ppm$ 이었으며 동태가 가장 높았다. 젓갈류에서는 흔적${\sim}21.80ppm$으로 명란젓에서 가장 높았다. 생선 통조림에서는 흔적${\sim}19.40ppm$으로 생선에 비하여 약 $4{\sim}10$배 증가하였으며 청어통조림에서 가장 높았다. 한편 김치에서는 2급아민이 다소 점출되어 평균 $0.1{\sim}2.7ppm$으로서 이것은 젓갈류의 첨가가 그 원인이므로 젓갈류 첨가량의 조절이 필요하다. 아질산염이 다량 검출되는 sausage에서는 2급아민의 함량이 다소 낮아 흔적${\sim}0.95ppm$이었다. 3. 본 실험(本 實驗)의 결과(結果) 강력한 발암물질(發癌物質)인 nitrosamine의 전구물질인 2급아민의 식품중 분포(分布) 및 식품조리중의 함량변화를 광범위하게 조사할 필요가 있으며 아울러 아질산염의 식품첨가물 허용여부를 재검토 해야 할 것이다. 또한 가공 식품의 제조과정, 저장과정 조리과정에서의 nitrosamine의 합성(合成)여부를 구명(究明)할 필요가 있다.장의 수축을 촉진하고 guinea pig 담낭의 수축을 증가시키는 등 이들 두물질이 매우 유사한 생물학적 활성을 지니고 있음을 발견하였다. 이러한 결과로 보아 한국에 서식하는 무당개구리의 피부는 서로 다른 두가지 형태의 BBS-LS를 함유하고 있으며 그 중에서 96.5%를 차지하는 BBS-LS는 합성 BBS-14와 분자적 이질성을 지니나 유사한 생물학적 활성을 지니고 있음을 알 수 있었다. Wistar보다 더 심한 이뇨와 Na 배설항진 반응을 보였다. 이상의 결과는 소금 섭취량에 따라서 aldosterone, ANP 및 renin의 분비 조절이 다르며, 정상 혈압과 고혈압쥐 사이에서도 차이가 있음을 시사해 주고 있다.퀼린은 인삼 식물의 세포나 기관등 모든곳에서 새로히 합성된다고 사료할 수 있다. $C^{14}$아세테이트가 패나퀼린의 비당체 부분에도 인코포레이트되는 것을 입증하였는데, 2년생 식물에서 패낙사다이올은 $(0.56\;m{\mu}Ci/mg)$, 4년생 식물에서 패낙사다이올은 $(0.54\;m{\mu}Ci/mg)$스페시획 액티비티를 갖었다.억제하였다. 이상의 실험결과로 보아 GCV와 ara-A의 동시사용은 HSV-1 혹은 ACV저항 DNA polymerase변이주인 $PAA^r5$에 대해서 상승적인 억제작용을 나타냈으며 이 효과는 virus DNA 합성 억제에 의한 것으로 생각된다. ACV저항 thymidine kinase 변이주인 $ACV^r$ 및 $IUdR^r$에 대해서는 ara-A가 유효하였다. 항 virus 약물에 의한 virus 단백질합성의 변화는 virus DNA 합성에 대한 억제효과에 인한 것으로 사려된다.\sim}72$시간(時間)까지 급격(急激)히 감소(減少)하여 72시간(時間)
