The author in an attempt to evaluate hemodynamic changes in the clinical stages of Korean hemorrhagic fever measured plasma volume, cardiac output and effective renal plasma flow utilizing radioisoto es during various phases of the disease. Cardiac output was measured by radiocardiography with external monitoring method using RIHSA. Effective renal plasma flow was obtained from blood clearance curve drawn by external monitoring after radiohippuran injection according to the method described by Razzak et al. The study was carried out in thirty-eight cases of Korean hemorrhagic fever and the following conclusions were obtained. 1. Plasma volume was increased in the patients during the oliguric-and hypertensive diuretic phases, while it was normal in the patients during the normotensive-diuretic phase. 2. Cardiac index was increased in the patients during the oliguric phase and was slightly increased in the patients at the hypertensive diuretic phase. It was normal in the other phases. 3. Total peripheral resistance was increased in the hypertensive patients during diuretic phase, while it was normal in the rest of phases. 4. Effective renal plasma flow was significantly reduced in the patients during the oliguric and diuretic phases as well as at one month after the oliguric onset. There was no significant difference between the oliguric and the early diuretic phases. Renal plasma flow in the group of patients at one month after the oliguric onset was about 45% of the normal, however, it returned to normal level at six months after the onset. 5. Clinical syndrome of relative hypervolemia was observed in some patients during the oliguric phase or hypertensive diuretic phase. Characteristic hemodynamic findings were high cardiac output and normal to relatively increased peripheral resistance in these cases. Relatively increased circulating blood volume due to decreased effective vascular space was suggested for the mechanism of relative hypervolemia. 6. Cardiac hemodynamic alteration returned to normal during late stage of the diuretic phase, while renal hemodynamic changes were normalized at six months after the onset.

Ginseng saponin (G5) purified from Panax ginseng, increase renal blood flow in rats. Nitric oxide (NO) is thought to be a substance endogenously released by G5 in preconstricted lungs and cultured endothelial cells. The present study aims to determine whether G5 could stimulate endogenous 1'elease of NO in rat kidney and urine levels of the stable NO metabolites, nitrite (NO,) and nitrate (NO,) and urinary COMP levels were measured 8 hr after a single intraperitoneal injection of GS (200 mg/kg) Into rats. The effects of the WO synthesis inhibitor, Nu-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, .1nd the NO precursor, L-arginine, on the G5-induced changes were also determined. The activity of NO synthase, as determined by conversion of ('"C)-L-arginine to ('"C)-L-citrulline, in whole kidney, glomeruli and cortical tubules were also investigated. A single injection of GS resulted in endogenous production of NO as reflected by increase in serum and urine levels of N021N03 and urinary cGMP levels, which were inhibited by the addition o ( N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester and restored fly L-arginine. GS also stimulated the activity of NO synthase in whole kidney as well as glomeruli and cortical tubules, and Nu-nitro-L-arginine methyl tilter significantly prevented this increase. In conclusion, GS stimulates endogenous NO production and thus, may play a protective role 1 11 the kidney by modulating renal blood flow.

신성 고혈압은 신동맥의 협착 혹은 폐색으로 인해 유발되는 전신성 고혈압이다. 최근에는 신동맥의 재개통을 위해 PTRA가 선호되고 있지만, 복잡한 경우에 있어서는 신 자가이식이 대안적인 치료방법으로서 시행되어 왔다. 저자들은 심각한 고혈압 증상을 보인 14세 남자 환아를 PTRA 및 신 자가이식을 시행하여 성공적으로 치료하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 도플러 초음파 검사와 CT 혈관조영술상 우측 신동맥 기시부에서 약간의 좁아짐과 다발적인 측부순환을 동반한 좌측 신동맥 기시부의 완전폐색이 확인되었다. 우측 신동맥 협착의 치료를 위해 PTRA와 스텐트 삽입술을 시행하였으나 좌측 신동맥은 완전폐색으로 인해 시술이 불가능하여 좌측 신장을 절제한 후 동측 장골와에 자가이식하였다. 수술 후 시행한 도플러 초음파 검사와 MAG-3 신주사 검사상 신혈류와 신기능은 정상이었다. 혈압은 정상화되었으며 항고혈압제 투여도 점차 중단하였다. 임상적인 특성을 고려할 때 신성 고혈압의 원인은 섬유근성 형성이상으로 생각되었다. 결론적으로 신 자가이식은 혈관내 중재적 시술이 실패하였거나 불가능한 경우에 선택할 수 있는 치료방법이다.

The pharmacological actions to methanol extract(PME) obtained from Plantaginis semen were examined in the rabbit. 1) PME, when administered into the vein of rabbit, produced the fall of blood pressure and stimulation of respiration. The former action was inhibited by atropine but the latter not affected by atropine. 2) PME caused contraction in both isolated intestinal and uterus strips, atropine blocked the contraction of intestinal strips while did not the uterus contraction. 3) PME decreased the heart rate of rabbit anesthetized with urethane. 4) PME elicited antidiuresis with doses ranging from 10mg/kg. The antidiuresis appeared to be related to the hemodynamic changes decreases in the renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate. Urinary sodium and potassium decrease in the renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate. Urinary sodium and potassium decrease in relation to the diminished filtration.

In order to examine that the effect of Sam Hwa San, circulating the vital energy of Sam Cho and controlling body fluid metabolism, gives any influence on renal function, changes in the urine flow, eletrolytes excretion, plasma aldosterone concentration and renin activity were observed after intravenous infusion of the Sam Hwa San extract in rabbit. Also in vitro effect of the herb extract on oxygen consumption in renal cortical slices and ATPase activity in kidney microsomes was measured. The following results were obtained : 1. The urine flow was markedly increased at 10 min after intravenous infusion of the Sam Hwa San extract($0.134{\pm}0.015$ vs. $0.433{\pm}0.046ml/min.kg$), but return ed to normal value after 40 min of infusion. 2. The glomerular filtration rate was significantly increased at 10 min after in travenous infusion of the Sam Hwa San extract, and the renal plasma flow at 10 and 20 min after infusion of the Sam Hwa San extract, following return to normal value. 3. $Na^+$ excretion was significantly increased during 10-40 min after intravenous infusion of the Sam Hwa San extract, although showed the maximal rate at 10-20 min. The fractional $Na^+$ excretion was also increased during 10-40 min. $K^+$ excretion was rapidly increased at 10 min after the intravenous Infusion of the Sam Hwa San extract and then gradually decreased to normal level at 40 min. The fractional $K^+$ excretion was significantly increased during 10-40 min after the intravenous infusion of the Sam Hwa San extract. 4. The plasma aldosterone concentration and renin activity were not altered by the infusion of the Sam Hwa San extract. 5. The ouabain-sensitive oxygen consumption of renal cortical slices was significantly reduced by the Sam Hwa San extract(0.5 and 1.0 vol.%). 6. The Na-K-ATPase activity of renal microsomes was strongly inhibited by the Sam Hwa San extract(0.5 and 1.0 vol.%). These results suggest that the Sam Hwa San causes a strong diuretic effect which results from reduction of Na reabsorption in renal tubule by a direct inhibition of Na-pump and, in part, from all increase in renal blood flow. In clinic, it is considered to obtain the therapeutic effect in body fluid metabolism disharmony to cause the circular disorder of vital energy.

This study was carried out to determine effect of acute renal ischemia on transport function of organic cation, tetraethylammonium (TEA), in rabbit kidney proximal tubule. Clamping of the renal artery for 30 and 60 min produced a polyuria which was accompanied by an increase in $Na^+$ excretion. The capacity of kidney cortical slices to accumulate TEA was increased after 30 and 60 min of ischemia. When blood flow was restored for 30 min after 30 and 60 min of ischemia, the augmented TEA uptake was recovered to the control values. Oxygen consumption of cortical slices was stimulated after 30 min of ischemia, whereas it was not altered by 60 min of ischemia. A 90-min ischemia produced a significant inhibition of TEA uptake and tissue oxygen consumption. These results suggest that the basolateral transport system for organic cation persists after ischemic periods of 60 min despite evidence that tubular reabsorptive mechanism of $Na^+$ and water is markedly impaired. This may indicate that the active secretory systems of proximal tubule are more resistant to ischemic injury than the reabsorptive systems.

Interruption or prolonged reduction and subsequent restoration of blood flow into the kidney triggers the generation of a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to injury in the tubular epithelial cells. In this study, we determined whether methanol extract of goat's-beard (Aruncus dioicus) (extract) could prevent this ischemia/reperfusion injury. When in vitro radical scavenging activity of the extract was measured using a DPPH radical quenching assay, the extract displayed slightly lower activity than ascorbic acid. One hour after administration of the extract (400 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection in rats, renal ischemia/reperfusion injury was generated by clamping the left renal artery for forty minutes, followed by 24 hr restoration of blood circulation. Prior to clamping the left renal artery, the right renal artery was removed. Compared with the vehicle-treated group, pretreatment with the extract significantly reduced the tubular epithelial cell injury by 37% in the outer medulla region, and consequently reduced serum creatinine concentration by 39%. Reduction in the cell injury was mediated by attenuation of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, inhibition of caspase-3 activation from procaspase-3, and subsequent reduction in the number of apoptotic cells. Thus, goat's-beard (Aruncus dioicus) might be developed as a prophylactic agent to prevent acute kidney injury.

Recently, it has been suggested that the endogenous adenosine may be the mediator for the intercellular communication in the regulation of tubuloglomerular feedback control and renin release. Even though two subclasses of adenosine receptors, A1 and A2, have been described, their functional roles are controversial. The present study was undertaken to clarify the role of adenosine receptors in hypertensive rabbit caused by clamping of renal artery. Experiments were done in two-kidney one clip Goldblatt hypertensive rabbits (2K1GHR) and sham-operated normotensive rabbits. Adenosine, N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) and 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) were infused into a renal artery. The decreases in urine volume, renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate and excreted amounts of electrolytes caused by adenosine and CHA were significantly attenuated in 2K1CHR. However, changes in renal function caused by A2 adenosine receptor agonist, NECA, tend to be accentuated in 2K1CHR. These results suggest that the attenuation of renal effect caused by adenosine and A1 adenosine receptor agonist may be due to the modification of adenosine receptor in the kidney in Goldblatt hypertensive rabbits.

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.
