Computerized scintigraphv using $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ was performed to 37 isolated rabbit kidneys after preservation for 48 hours in perfusates differing in their compositions, i. e., Group 1 (N 9) in Collins' solution, Group 2 (N 10) in Collins' plus trifluoperazine, Group 3 (N 9) in Collins' plus urokinase and Group 4 (N 9) in Collins pius urokinase plus verapamil. Satisfactory images, and statistically analyzable quantitative indices such as perfusion score, filtration rate and cortical uptake ratio (CUR) were obtained by the evaluations of first-pass perfusion, equilibration slopes and postequilibration images. Significant improvements in CUR were observed by adding trifluoperazine (Group 2) and urokinase (group 3) as compared to Collins' only group (Group 1), p<0.05 for each, and all of the three indices (perfusion score, filtration rate and CUR) were also significantly (p=0.0092 p<0.05 and p<0.05) improved by adding urokinase plus verapamil (Group 4). We concluded that the computerized scintigraphy with Tc-99m DTPA provide valuable quantitative indices for evaluation of preserved kidney funcitions and suggest its possible clinical applicability in cadaver kidney transplantation considering the safety and easiness of the prodedure.

The use of cisplatin is limited by severe side effects such as renal toxicity. Our platinum-base drug discovery is aimed at developing drugs capable of diminishing toxicity and improving antitumor activity. We synthesized new Pt (II) complex analogue [Pt (cis-DACH)(DPPP)]. 2NO$_3$ (PC) containing cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane as a carrier ligand and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino) propane as a leaving group. Furthermore, nitrate was added to improved the solubility. In this study, its structure was determined and its antitumor activity against SKOV-3 and NIH-OVCAR-3 human ovarian adenocarcinoma, and in vitro cytotoxicity was determined against primary cultured rabbit kidney proximal tubular and renal cortical cells of human kidney using colorimetric MTT assay. PC demonstrated acceptable antitumor activity against SKOV-3 and NIH-OVCAR-3 human ovarian adenocarcinoma and significant activity as compared with that of cisplatin. The toxicity of PC was found quite less than that of cisplatin using MTT and $^3$H-thymidine uptake tests in rabbit proximal tubular cells and human kidney cortical cells. PC was used for human cortical tissue in 7 weeks hitoculture by the glucose-consumption tests. We determined that the new platinum drug has lower nephrotoxicity than cisplatin. Based on these results, this novel platinum (II) complex compound (PC) represent a valuable lead in the development of a new anticancer chemotherapeutic agent capable of improving antitumor activity and low nephrotoxicity.

The present investigation was initially undertaken to see if there exists $Na^+-K^+$ activated ATPase in the microsome fraction of the kidney. Having confirmed the presence of such an enzyme, further attempts have been made to characterize its nature and the following conclusions were obtained: (1) The ATPase activity was greatest at the $Na^+$ concentration of 100 mM as well as at $K^+$ concentration of 10 mM. Moreover, the ATPase activity was found to be depressed by $Ca^{++}$ in the presence of $Mg^{++}$. (2) While the ATPase activity was depressed by Ouabain, the magnitude of inhibition was greater in the Na medium than in the K medium. (3) NaCN augmented the ATPase activity whereas NaF and IAA depressed it. On the other hand, DNP had little influence on the ATPase activity. (4) Diamox, vasopressin and aldosterone had no effect while $HgCl_2$ markedly depressed the ATPase activity These findings indicate that the nature of ATPase isolated from the microsome fraction of the rabbit kidney is quite similar to that from other organs such as the heart and the muscle, although there are certain features specific to the type of organs.

Recently various molecular diagnostic techniques have been used to identify rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), a causative agent responsible for acute hepatitis and disseminated intravascular coagulation in rabbit. But they were hard to perform and time consuming. To detect RHDV in a rapid and easy way, we developed biotinylated oligonucleotide probe within ORF 1 region encoding the polyprotein of RHDV in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues from various tissues of 20 rabbits naturally infected with RHDV, Our in situ hybridization (ISH) was quickly carried out within two hours by MicroProbe capillary action system. The ISH produced a positive reaction in liver, kidney and lung. In conclusion, ISH with a biotintlated oligonucleotide probe provided a useful diagnostic method for detecting RHDV.

Rabbit infectious hemorrhagic fever has been reported in rabbits worldwide. The disease is also frequently reported on Korean rabbit farms, and the pathological study of 9 rabbits on such disease-occurring farms was attempted to identify the pathogen. Clinical signs were torticollis and ear ulceration. Most rabbit died with bloody nasal discharges. At necropsy, multiple hemorrhages and inflammation were observed in heart, lung, liver and uterus. The main histopathologic features were hemorrhagic suppurative meningoencephalitis, fibrinous bronchointerstitial pneumonia, bacteremia, liver cell necrosis, multifocal hemorrhages in kidney and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. The viral VP60 gene of RHDV was identified by Reverse Transcriptase PCR. Pasteurella multocida organisms were cultured, identified by biochemical test and serotyped as A by multiplex capsular typing PCR. In conclusion, the fatal hemorrhagic disease was due to combined infection with both RHDV and P. multocida in rabbits. To our knowledge, this is the first case report about co-infection with both RHDV and P. multocida in rabbits in Korea.

배추김치의 dichloromethane(CH$_2$Cl$_2$)획분, ethylacetate (EtOAc) 획분 그리고 물($H_2O$)획분이 1% 콜렛테롤 식이를 16주 동안 섭취한 토끼의 심장, 신장, 그리고 폐의 지질 축적에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구로 100g 식이에 첨가한 김치 용매획분의 양은 8.3mg CH$_2$Cl$_2$, 5.6mg EtOAc 그리고 221.9mg $H_2O$ 획분으로 이 양은 5% 동결건조 김치속에 들어있는 양이다. 토끼는 각 군당 6마리로 한 마리씩 사육하였다. 16주 사육 후 심장, 신장 그리고 폐의 콜레스테롤 및 중성지질의 농도는 대조군에 비해 김치 용매획분에 의해 현저하게 감소하였고, 인지질과 총지방질 함량은 CH$_2$Cl$_2$획분군에서만 유의적으로 감소하였다. (p<0.05). 심장에 있어서 콜레스테롤 농도는 CH$_2$Cl$_2$획분, EtOAc획분 그리고 $H_2O$획분군에서 42%(p<0.05), 21%(p<0.05) 그리고 8%감소하였고, 중성지질 농도는 각 29%(p<0.05), 4%, 그리고 11% 감소하였다. 신장의 경우 콜레스테롤은 CH$_2$Cl$_2$획분, EtOAc획분 그리고 $H_2O$획분군에서 23, 12, 그리고 11% 감소하여 유의적으로 (p<0.05) 억제되었고, 중성지질은 CH$_2$Cl$_2$획분과, $H_2O$획분군에서 각 51%와 21% 감소하여 유의적인 차이를 나타내었다. 폐의 경우 Ch$_2$Cl$_2$획분, EtOAc획분 그리고 $H_2O$획분군에서 콜레스테롤 (-37, -20, 22%) 및 중성지질(-39, -28, -28%) 모두 유의적으로 (p<0.05) 감소하였다. 장기별로 비교해 볼 때 콜레스테롤 함량은 폐, 신장, 심장 순으로 높았고, 중성지방 함량은 심장, 신장, 폐 순으로 높게 나타났다. 인지질 함량은 심장, 신장 그리고 폐에서 비슷하나 수준을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과를 살펴보았을 때 김치용매획분중 CH$_2$Cl$_2$획분에 지질을 감소시키는 활성성분이 가장 많이 함유된 것으로 생각된다.

The regulations of renal function and renin release are influenced by neural, humoral and physical factors. During the last decade, considerable progress has been made in the identification and characterization of these extrinsic renal control systems. Mechanisms intrinsic to the kidney are also important for renal function. These include the autoregulation of blood flow, and the local control of renin secretion. Fundamental questions regarding the mechanism of these intrinsic controls remain unanswered. Recently, endogenous renal adenosine has been claimed to influence the tubuloglomerular feedback control and renin release. Two subclasses of adenosine receptors $A_1{\;}and{\;}A_2$ have been described. The present experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of $N_6-cyclohexyladenosine$ $(CHA,{\;}A_1{\;}selective)$ and 5'-N-ethylcarbox-amide adenosine $(NECA,{\;}A_2{\;}selective)$ on the renal function and renin release in the unanesthetized rabbit. Intra-renal arterial infusion of NECA $(0.3{\sim}10.0n{\;}mole/min/rabbit)$ or CHA $(0.03{\sim}10.0n{\;}mole/min/rabbit)$ caused a prompt and dose-dependent decrease in urine volume, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RPF), filtration fraction (FF), electrolyte excretion and free water clearance $(CH_2O)$, the effect being much more profound with CHA than with NECA. The NECA infusion resulted in a profound decrease of systemic blood pressure, but the CHA infusion did not. Both NECA and GHA infusions caused a prompt and dose-dependent decrease in renin secretion rate, again the effect being greater with CHA than with NEGA. These results suggest that both $A_1{\;}and{\;}A_2$ adenosine receptors may be involved in the intrinsic control of renal function and renin release, and that the $A_1$ receptors plays a more important role than the $A_2$ receptor in the regulation of renal fnction.

It was to investigate the absorption, excretion, protein binding of ampicillin in the pathological animals pretreated with carbon tetrachloride and mercuric chloride. The absorption of ampicillin was not affected in rats with damaged liver and kidney as compared with that of normal rats. The blood level of ampicillin after oral administration was increased significantly in rabbits with damaged kidney and liver. The blood level of ampicillin in rabbit with damaged kidney was more increased than that in rabbits with damaged liver. In severly damaged rabbits, it was more increased than that of mildly damaged rabbits. Urinary excretion of ampicillin in pathological animals was more inhibited than that of ampicillin in normals. Hepatic excretion of ampicillin was accelerated in rabbits with damaged kidney. However, in rabbits with damaged liver, it was inhibited as compared with that in normals. Protein binding of ampicillin was slightly enhanced by the various concentration of carbon tetrachloride and mercuric chloride, respectively. The results suggest that the increase of blood level of ampicillin in pathological animals was due to the inhibition of renal excretion.

연구목적 : poly-L-guluronic alginate(PGA) 겔이 혈관색전술에 적용가능한지 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하고, PGA 겔이 혈관 내에서도 유용한지 혈관조영술을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 겔을 형성하는 PGA는 다시마에서 추출하여 생물학적 적합성 시험을 거쳤고, 단백질 불순물을 완전히 정제한 후 실험에 이용하였다. 유리 동맥류 모형을 이용하여 PGA가 겔을 형성하여 색전을 일으키는지 확인하였고, 가토의 신장 혈관에서도 PGA가 색전을 일으키는지 혈관조영술을 통해 확인하였다. 결 과 : 유리 동맥류 모형에서 PGA는 자동 주입기를 이용하여 카테타를 통해 주입한 후 염화칼슘($CaCl_2$)을 주입하니 유리 동맥류 모형 내에서 겔을 형성하며 색전을 일으켰다. 가토 실험에서는 우신 동맥과 대동맥을 결찰한 후 혈관조영술을 통해 좌신의 혈류를 확인하였다. 좌신동맥으로 PGA와 염화칼슘($CaCl_2$)을 동일한 카테터를 통해 순서대로 주입한 후 우신동맥과 대동맥의 결찰을 제거하였다. 혈관조영술을 다시 실시하여 좌신동맥의 혈류를 확인하니 좌신동맥이 보이지 않았다. 이는 좌신 혈관 내에세 PGA가 겔을 형성하여 혈류를 완전히 차단하였기 때문이었다. 결 론 : PGA는 혈관 내에서 혈관을 완전히 차단하고 색전을 일으킴을 확인하였다. 그러므로 PGA는 혈관 색전물질로 유용할 것이고, 혈관색전술과 조영술 적용에 상당히 효과적일 것이다.
