In order to determine the effect of Oryeongsan reputed to have diuretic action since Han Dynasty and possible synergetic action of Dianthi Semen, Polygonum avicularis Herba, Kochiae Fructus and Akebiae Lignum, herbs with similar reputation, when added to the above prescription, their decoction powders were solved into distilled water and injected into rabbits through the ear vein. Upon the treatment, the excretion of sodium, potassium and chloride ion together with urine volume was kinetically determined. At the same time the clearance of plasma creatinine and sodium ion was determined and the following results were obtained. Every experimental group demonstrated diuretic action, though feable, of relatively long duration. The diuretic mechanism in the case of Oryeongsan made up by mixing the seperate extracts of individual components and Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen was found to be inhibitory effect of renal tubular reabsorption in contrast to the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Polygonum avicularis Herba, Kochiae Fructus or Akebiae Lignum in which case the diuretic mechanism was found to be glomerular vascular dilatation. The urinary excretion of potassium ion was increased in the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen, Kochiae Fructus of Akebiae Lignum whereas in the other cases no similar change was registered. The diuretic action was most remarkable in the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Polygonum avicularis Herba followed by Oryeongsan(A) plus Kochiae Fructus, Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen, extract mixture of individual component of Oryeongsan, Oryeongsan(A) and Oryeongsan(A) plus Akebiae Lignum decreasing order. The duration of diuretic action was found to be 90 minutes in the case of Oryeongsan and mixture of individual component of Oryeongsan, and 60 minutes in the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen, Kochiae Fructus or Akebiae Lignum in contrast to the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Polygonum avicularis Herba which lasted up to 120 minutes.

Objectives : The objective of this study is to observe the effect of Saryuktangkamibang, Saryuktang with Liriopis Tuber, Lycii Fructus, Schizandrae Fructus, and Bombyx Batryticatus, on the experimental diabetes. Methods : In order to induce diabetes experimentally, injected streptozotocin to the vein in the tail of rats and then treated oral administration of Saryuktangkamibang water extracts. In the measurement of the variation levels of glucose, ALP, creatinine, and BUN concentration for each concentration levels for serum (0.2g/100g, 0.4g/l00g, 0.6g/100g), concentration level of glucose significantly decreased in 0.4g/l00g concentration level of Saryuktangkamibang. With this 0.4g/l00g concentration level of Saryuktangkamibang, the following conclusion was derived from the measurement of the serum levels of glucose. ALP, AST, ALT, creatinine, and BUN concentration for the injection of each 4th, 11th, and 18th day. Results : 1. In the measurement for each concentrations, the glucose concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 9th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group. 2. The creatinine and BUN concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 9th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group to which 0.6g/100g injected. 3. In the measurement for each dosage dates, the glucose concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 11th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group to which 0.6g/100g injected. 4. The AST concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 11th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group. Conclusion : Saryuktangkamibang, Saruktang with Liriopis Tuber, Lycii Fructus, Schizandrae Fructus, and Bombyx Batryticatus, has an effect of hypoglycemia, with no hepato-renal dysfunction. For the experimental results above, in that nephrotoxicity significantly decreased on the 0.6g/100g concentration, another research such as study for effect in other ranges and study for effect of dosage term except the concentration range of this study is necessary. Also dosage of appropriate concentration of Saryuktangkamibang is thought to provide valuable aid to cure on diabetes.

In this study, we investigated the effect of methanolic extract isolated from the root of Lycoris aurea (LA) on the growth of cancer cells and the tube formation activity of endothelial cells. Various cancer cells were treated with LA at doses of 0.3, 1, 3, 10 or 30 ${\mu}g/ml$ and LA significantly suppressed the growth of several cancer cell lines, including ACHN, HCT-15, K-562, MCF-7, PC-3 and SK-OV-3, in a dose-dependent manner. We also found that LA induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase in ACHN renal cell adenocarcinoma cells. Further study demonstrated that LA concentration-dependently inhibited the tube formation, which is a widely used in vitro model of reorganization stage of angiogenesis, in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Collectively, these results show that LA inhibits the growth of cancer cells and tube formation of endothelial cells and the growth-inhibitory effect of LA might be mediated, at least in part, by blocking cell cycle progression.

Urinary tract infections are among the most common infectious diseases and are the major causes of mortality and morbidity. These diseases result in many severe hospitalizations each year. Severe sepsis and septic shock are common and life-threatening medical conditions, and large cases are associated with urinary tract infection. The medical term "severe sepsis" is defined as sepsis complicated by hypotension, organ dysfunction, and tissue hypoperfusion, whereas "septic shock" is defined as sepsis complicated either by hypotension that is refractory to fluid resuscitation or by hyperlacteremia. A recent multicenter-study in Korea reported that the rate of in-hospital mortality associated with severe sepsis and septic shock was > 34%. Among the causative diseases, urogenital tract infection showed a high correlation. Moreover, it is very important that clinicians detect severe sepsis and septic shock early and treat them properly. The principles of initial treatment include provision of sufficient hemodynamic resuscitation and early administration of appropriate antibiotic therapy to mitigate uncontrolled infection. Initial resuscitation includes the use of vasopressors and intravenous fluids, and it is a key to achieve the target of initial resuscitation. Supportive care in the intensive care unit, such as glucose control, stress ulcer prophylaxis, blood transfusion, deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis, and renal replacement therapy, is also significant. We have summarized the key components in the treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock in patients with urinary tract infection. Urologists should be aware that appropriate early treatment is necessary to prevent fatal outcomes in these patients.

Purpose: Inferior vena cava (IVC) collapse is related to hypovolemia. Sonography has been used to measure the IVC diameter, but there is variation depending on the skill of the operator and it is difficult to obtain accurate measurements in patients who have a large amount of intestinal gas or are obese. As a modality to obtain accurate measurements, we measured the diameters of the IVC and aorta on trauma computed tomography scans and investigated the correlation between the IVC to aorta ratio and the shock index in blunt trauma patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 588 trauma patients who were transferred to the regional trauma center (level 1) of Wonkang University Hospital from March 2020 to February 2021. We included trauma patients 18 years or older who met the trauma activation criteria and underwent trauma computed tomography scans with intravenous contrast within 40 minutes of admission. The shock index was calculated from vital signs before trauma computed tomography scan, and measurements of the anteroposterior diameter of the IVC (AP), the transverse diameter of the IVC (T), and aorta were made 10 mm above the right renal vein in the venous phase. Results: Overall, 271 patients were included in this study, of whom 150 had a shock index ≤0.7 and 121 had a shock index >0.7. The T to AP ratio and AP to aorta ratio were significantly different between groups. Cutoffs were identified for the T to AP ratio and AP to aorta ratio (2.37 and 0.62, respectively) that produced clinically useful sensitivity and specificity for predicting a shock index >0.7, demonstrating moderate accuracy (T to AP ratio: area under the curve, 0.71; sensitivity, 59%; specificity, 87% and AP to aorta ratio: area under the curve, 0.70; sensitivity, 55%; specificity, 91%). Conclusions: The T to AP ratio and AP to aorta ratio are useful for predicting hemorrhagic shock in trauma patients.

Objective: To investigate molecular and functional consequences of additional exposures to iodine- or gadolinium-based contrast agents within 24 hours from the initial intravenous administration of iodine-based contrast agents through an animal study. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six Sprague-Dawley male rats were equally divided into eight groups: negative control, positive control (PC) with single-dose administration of CT contrast agent, and additional administration of either CT or MR contrast agents 2, 4, or 24 hours from initial CT contrast agent injection. A 12 µL/g of iodinated contrast agent or a 0.47 µL/g of gadolinium-based contrast agent were injected into the tail vein. Serum levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, cystatin C (Cys C), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. mRNA and protein levels of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were evaluated. Results: Levels of serum creatinine (SCr) were significantly higher in repeated CT contrast agent injection groups than in PC (0.21 ± 0.02 mg/dL for PC; 0.40 ± 0.02, 0.34 ± 0.03, and 0.41 ± 0.10 mg/dL for 2-, 4-, and 24-hour interval groups, respectively; P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the average Cys C and MDA levels between PC and repeated CT contrast agent injection groups (Cys C, P = 0.256-0.362; MDA, P > 0.99). Additional doses of MR contrast agent did not make significant changes compared to PC in SCr (P > 0.99), Cys C (P = 0.262), and MDA (P = 0.139-0.771) levels. mRNA and protein levels of KIM-1 and NGAL were not significantly different among additional CT or MR contrast agent groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: A sufficient time interval, probably more than 24 hours, between repeated contrast-enhanced CT examinations may be necessary to avoid deterioration in renal function. However, conducting contrast-enhanced MRI on the same day as contrast-enhanced CT may not induce clinically significant kidney injury.

최근 들어 관상동맥 질환자의 수가 급격히 증가하면서 관상동맥 우회술의 수도 급격히 증가하고 있다. 그러나 관상동맥 우회술은 영구적인 완전 교정술이 아니기 때문에 재수술이 필요할 수 있다. 저자들은 관상 동맥우회 재수술의 임상결과를 후향적 방법으로 고찰하여 보았다. 대상 및 방법: 1991년 1월부터 2001년 4월까지 연세 심장혈관 병원에서 관상동맥우회 재수술을 시행 받은 14명을 대상으로 하였으며 (남자:12명, 여자:2명), 평균 연령은 61.7$\pm$7.1(47~72세) 세였다. 처음 수술 받은 날부터 재수술시까지의 평균 기간은 121.9$\pm$50.5(6.1~179.6 개월) 개월이었다. 재수술시 13명의 환자들은 일반적인 심폐체외순환하에 수술을 하였고 1명의 환자는 심폐체외순환 없이 수술을 시행하였다. 동반 수술로는 1명의 환자에서 승모판막 재치환술을 시행하였고, 1명의 환자에서는 승모판막륜 성형술을 시행하였다. 재수술은 모두 정중 흉골절개하에 시행하였다. 재수술시 사용한 이식 혈관은 좌측 내흉동맥과 대 복재정맥을 사용한 경우가 6례, 좌측 내흉동맥과 좌측 요골 동맥을 사용한 경우가 2례, 좌측 내흉 동맥과 위장관 동맥을 사용한 경우가 1례, 대 복재정맥만을 사용한 경우가 5례(1례는 cephalic vein도 같이 사용) 있었으며, 평균 이식 편수는 2.1$\pm$0.9(1~4개) 개였다. 결과: 14명의 환자들 중에서 수술과 관련한 사망이나 조기 사망은 없었으며, 합병증은 신부전증, 호흡부전 및 경막하 출혈이 각각 1례 있었다. 평균 추적 관찰 기간은 40.1$\pm$38.6(1.1~l18.5) 개월 이었다. 추적기간 중 1명의 환자가 재수술 후 13개월에 협심증이 재발했고, 2명의 환자가 재수술 후 14.8개월 및 116.3개월에 만성 신부전증으로 사망하였다. 추적 기간 중에 3명의 환자에서 관상동맥 조영술을 시행하였는데 이식 혈관들은 모두 개존성을 보였다. 마지막 외래 내원시 생존 환자들의 평균 Canadian class는 1.3이었고, 재수술 후 9년까지 사건(event)이 없을 확률은 71.4$\pm$6.9%였으며, 생존률은 90.0$\pm$9.5%였다. 결론: 관상동맥우회 재수술은 수술 후에 환자 상태의 호전을 기대할 수 있고, 장기간의 생존률도 우수하기에, 수술적응이 된다면 수술을 적극적으로 고려하여야 할 것으로 생각한다.
