Cinmetacin, one of the candidate of NSAID of arylacetate group was developed into a prodrug SJ-151 with butendiol group to minimize its gastrointestinal side effects. We studied its excretion and distribution after single oral administration in rats. Male rats were orally administered with 30, 60, 80 or 120mg/kg of SJ-151 and their urine and stool were collected at 0, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hour after administration. To evaluate its tissue distribution, 120mg/kg of SJ-151 was orally given and samples of blood, liver, kidney and brain were taken at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, and 48 hour of administration. As results, less than 0.1% of administered SJ-151 was detected in 48 hour collected urine as its metabolite cinmetacin. 33-50% of administered SJ-151 was observed in 48 hour collected stool as SJ-151. 3-7% of excreted SJ-151 was observed in 48 hour collected stool as cinmetacin. SJ-151 and cinmetacin were not detected in the brain regardless of dosage. SJ-151 was detected neither in kidney nor in liver. Only cinmetacin was observed in both organs with kidney concentrations higher than liver throughout the observation period. On the whole, organ concentration of cinmetacin fluctuated through 0.1-1.5 times that of plasma. As no reports on the metabolism of SJ-151 or cinmetacin in specific organs has been published yet, any detailed explanation of these results needs further study and the plasma concentration profile of rats showed remarkable interspecies difference with dogs.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the nutritional status and dietary habits in predialysis patients of chronic renal failure(CRF). The patients group was composed of total 35 persons with chronic renal failure(diabetes exclusion), male 20, female 15 who were treated in the kidney internal department and the control group also composed of 35 persons, male 18, female 17 who were classified as normal by the medical examination. Their dietary habits, nutritional status and nutritional knowledge were investigated from two general hospitals in Inchon, middle of this year 2002. There were 31.4% of low weight patients (BMI below 20), 77.1% of anemia patients (serum hemoglobin below 12g/㎗), 6S.6% of hypertension patients with diastolic blood pressure over 90mmHg, 80% with systolic blood pressure over 140mmHg, 20% of hypercholesterolemia patients (serum cholesterol over 230mg/㎗), and 22.9% of hyperlipemia patients (serum triglyceride over 200mg/㎗). The cardiovascular disease seemed to be caused by the abnormality of lipid metabolism. The possibility of the bone disease was shown from patients of hyperphosphatemia (serum phosphorus over 4.7mg/㎗, 22.9%) and hypocalcemia (serum calcium below 8.4mg/㎗, 25.7%). Intake of insufficient calories which was caused by the lack of appetite affected on the nutritional status. The intake of most nutrients was not significantly different from the RDA for Koreans. Consequently, the patient groups took a lot of salt even after the diagnosis of CRF. But patients ate 6.lg of salt which were more than the recommended amount 2∼4g for patients with CRF. The patient groups, who had the experiences of nutritional counselling, had significantly higher nutritional knowledge related to CRF than control group. Unfortunately, patients could not have enough chances for nutritional counselling by the nutritionist even though they needed the nutritional informations and dietetic treatments. The continuous research is expected with regard to the detail plan for the improvement of nutritional support and the nutritional counselling because it is important to decide the requirements of nutrients for patients with kidney disease, considering the kidney function and status of nutrition.

수은이 붕어(Carassius carassius L.)의 간, 신장 아가미에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 붕어를 1 ppm, 2.5 ppm 농도의 $HgCl_2$에 노출시킨 후 전자현미경을 사용하여 그들의 미세구조 변화에 대한 연구를 수행한 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 수은에 처리된 간세포에서는 lysosome이 증가하였으며 결정상의 구조물들을 포함한 원형의 lysosome과 히ㅛ\ulcorner두과립이나 mitochondria를 탐식한 lysosome의 2가지 형태가 관찰되었고 mitochondria는 팽대되어 내부 기질의 전자밀도가 감소되었으며 핵에서는 인의 분리현상이 관찰되었다. 2. 신장의 변화로서는 신사구체 기저막의 비후와 기부선회소관에서는 공포들의 증가와 cytoplasmic body들이 출현하였으며 공포형성은 mitochondria와 연관되어 일어났다. 또한 2.5 ppm에서는 핵의 위축이 관찰되었다. 3. Gill lamella의 상피세포에서는 대, 소형의 lysosome이 증가했으며 lamella의 막에 fuzzy한 구조가 관찰되었다. 4. 본 실험에서 관찰된 결과로써 수은에 의해 초래된 세포의 미세구조의 변화는 세포의 해독과정을 활성화시키며 energy대사과정을 손상시키는 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives : Mitochondria are typically known as intracellular double membrane-bound structures that supply energy for intracellular metabolism including Krebs cycle and beta-oxidation. Also, acupuncture has been known to stimulate the flow of energy. To explore the effect of acupuncture on the mitochondrial respiratory chain activities in rat's heart and kidneys, the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I to IV were observed. Methods : The rats were divided into 11 groups; Normal (no acupuncture treatment and under anesthesia for 10 min), heart meridian five-transport-points (acupuncture treatment at HT9, HT8, HT7, HT4 and HT3 under anesthesia for 10 min), and kidney meridian five-transport-points (acupuncture treatment at KI1, KI2, KI3, KI7 and KI10 under anesthesia for 10 min). All rats were sacrificed and the heart and kidneys were examined for the changes of respiratory chain activities. Results : Acupuncture at HT7 increased the activity of succinate dehydrogenase; acupuncture at KI2 increased the activity of ubiquinol cytochrome C oxidoreductase; and acupuncture at HT9, HT8, HT3 and KI1 increased activities of cytochrome C oxidase. Conclusions : Acupuncture assists mitochondrial repiratory chain activity via the Cytochrome C oxidase signaling pathway in heart and kidney of rats.

Liraglutide (Saxenda^R) is prescribed to induce and sustain weight loss in obese patients. The starting dose of liraglutide is 0.6 mg/day for 1 week, which is increased by 0.6 mg/day every week until the full maintenance dose of 3 mg/day is achieved. Such dose titration is needed to prevent side effects, which primarily include gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain. A 35-year-old, reportedly healthy obese man receiving liraglutide treatment for obesity visited the emergency room complaining of generalized weakness and dizziness accompanied by repeated diarrhea and vomiting. He reported over 20 episodes of diarrhea starting the day after liraglutide dose escalation from 1.2 mg/day to 1.8 mg/day. Laboratory findings suggested pre-renal acute kidney injury, including serum creatinine 4.77 mg/dl, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) 37 mg/dl, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 15 ml/min/1.73 m², and Fractional excretion of sodium 0.08. After volume repletion therapy, his renal function recovered to a normal range with laboratory values of creatinine 1.08 mg/dl, BUN 14 mg/dl, and eGFR 88 ml/min/1.73 m². This case emphasizes the need for caution when prescribing glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, including liraglutide, given the risk of serious renal impairments induced by volume depletion and dehydration through severe-grade diarrhea and vomiting.

Cisplatin을 투여한 흰쥐의 간장 및 신장에서GSH의 역할을 관찰하고자 총 GSH의 농도, GSH peroxidase 및 GSH reductase이 효소활성도를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 총 GSH의 양(mM/g protein)은 간에서는 cisplatin을 투여한 군($1.51{\pm}0.28$)이 대조군(0.95+0.28)에 비해 현저히 증가하였으며 (p<0.01), 신장에서도 cisplatin 투여군(0$0.87{\pm}0.20$)이 대조군($0.60{\pm}0.14$)에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). GSH peroxidase의 활성도(${\mu}M$ NADPH/mg protein/min)는 간장에서 cisplatin을 투여한 군($348.0{\pm}18.54$)이 대조군(415.5+53.15)에 비해 현저히 감소하였으며(p<0.01), 신장에서도 cisplatin 투여군($380.5{\pm}51.86$)이 대조군($327.2{\pm}20.36$)에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.01). GSH reductase의 활성도(${\mu}M$ NADPH/mg protein/min)는 간장에서 cisplatin 투여군($3.09{\pm}0.88$)이 대조군(2.28+0.61)에 비해 현저히 증가하였으며(p<0.01), 신장에서도 cisplatin 투여군($3.30{\pm}1.01$)에 비해 cisplatin 투여군($8.50{\pm}2.62$)이 현저히 증가하였다(p<0.01). Cisplatin 투여로 인한 해독작용은 간에서는GSH의 양이 신장과 비교시 현저히 증가하였고 GSH reductase의 증가 및 GSH peroxidase의 감소로cisplatin해독에 GSH가 많이 이용되어 해독작용이 신장보다 더 잘 일어났으며 신장에서는 GSH가 증가하였으나 두 효소 모두 증가하였으므로 GSH가 일부 산화형으로 이용되어 간에서 보다는 해독작용이 적게 나타난 것으로 생각된다.

Studies were carried out to explore the influence of dietary protein level on bone metabolism in uninephrectomized rat (experimental renal failure model) when dietary Ca and P contents were equal. Male rats were uninephrectomized or sham operated and fed 8%, 15% and 40% casein diets for 24 weeks. Ca and P contents of the all diet were 0.4% and 0.6% respectively. The results are summarized as follows. We did not found any significant difference in PTH and Ca level of the serum, Ca intake and Ca excretion among the experimental groups. There was significant positive correlation between the PTH and phosphate level. There was significant inverse correlation between serum Ca and creatinine level. The effect of the dietary protein level and renal mass loss on density and Ca contents of the bone were small and different according to the kinds of the bone. Low protein diet was associated with a significant enhancement of scapular density. Femur and vertebra density, however, were not influenced by dietary protein level and uninephrectomy. Light microscopic examination showed several calcified foci in the kidney in all experimental groups. Low protein diets have been used for a long time in the conservative management of chronic renal failure as they have a beneficial effect in preventing the appearance of symptoms. This study elucidated that part of beneficial effects of the low protein diet related to the suppression of the hyperphosphatemia. And these results, even though uninephrectomized rats fed high protein diet, the secondary hyperparathyroidism is supressed by the regulation of the P level. Therefore this study emphasized the need to pay more attention to the regulation of dietary P level as well as dietary protein content in chronic renal failure.

Chronic abuse of alcohol can lead to the development of folate deficiency due to inadequate folate intaike, excessive urinary excretion and from effects of ethanol on folate absorption and metabolism . To investigate the effects of alcohol and folate intake on folate metabolism, the rates were raised for 4 and 10 weeks on experimental diets containing 0, 2 8mg folate/kg diet, and were administered 50% ethanol(1.8$m\ell$/kg body weight) three times a week intragastrically. Plasma and tissue folate concentrations were found to be significantly influenced by dietary folate level. In animals fed on folate-deficient diet, concentrations of folate in the plasma, liver and kidney were decreased by 60-89% compared to those on folate-adequate diet, and ther values were further decreased with experimental period. Folate supplementation increased plasma and tissue folate levels significantly by 16-78% compared to those on folate-adequate diet, and the folate levels in the plasma and liver were affected most by the supplementation. Alcohol administration did not seem to influence folate status in the body significantly when animals were raised on folate-deficient diet. However, when rats were fed folate-adequate or folate-supplemented diet, alcohol was shown to decrease plasma and tissue folate concentrations. Among the animals receiving alcohol, folate concentrations in the plasma and tissues were significantly higher when animals fed folate-supplemented diet compared to folate adequate diet. Alcohol seems to exert differential effects on urinary foalte excretion by experimental period it increased urinary folate in the 4-week period, but lowered foalte excretion in the urine when the experimental period was extended to 10 weeks. Alcohol did not seem to influence folate excretion in the feces. These results indicate that folate supplementation might be beneficial in ameliorating the inadequate folate status that might occur with chronic alcoholism.

This study investigated the effect of the powder of the small water dropwort(PSWD) and brewer's yeast(BY) on the liver function and serum lipid metabolism in alcohol-consuming rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed an AIN-93 diet(control), ethanol plus control(A), ethanol plus PSWD(AS), ethanol plus BY(AB), ethanol plus PSWD and BY(ABS) diet for seven weeks. The feed intake, body weight gain and feed efficiency ratio were the lowest and in the alcohol-consuming groups. The weight of the liver, kidney, spleen and epididymis of the anatomized rats showed positive correlation with the body weight gain. Compared with group A, the content of the lipid in the serum was significantly low in the AS and AB groups. In particular, it was the most effective in the AB group. The GOT, GPT and ALP level in the serum showed a significant difference in the alcohol-consuming groups. Compared with the A group, they showed a significantly low difference in the AS and AB groups. The total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the liver were similar in all groups. The weight of the feces was significantly different but there was no significant difference in the content of total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the AS and AB groups. These results suggest that BY and PSWD improve the liver function, and had an effect on reducing the lipid content of the serum and feces of alcohol-consumed rats. In particular, the effect of BY which contained protein, dietary fiber and vitamin B was higher than that of PSWD.
