Akebiae caulis have been used in folk medicines for diuretic, menstrual pain, and diuretic pain. It has been also resolved nephritis and cystitis. In this study, we isolated three phenolic compounds from 70% methanol extract using the open column chromatography. These isolated compounds which were 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and syringoylglycerol 2-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside were determined by physico-chemical apparatus. Furthermore, we conducted DPPH and ABTS assay in order to screen the antioxidant activity of isolated three compounds. Also, we developed a rapidly HPLC-UV analysis method of two phenolic compounds (2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid) for evaluating the Akebiae Caulis collected 30 samples from different regions. From the experiments, all three isolated compounds showed the significant antioxidant activity. We suggested that the content criteria of marker compounds were shown by a simple and rapid HPLC-UV method. The contents respectively were 0.009% (2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside) and 0.036% (5-O-caffeoylquinic acid).

Objectives : This article is a study on to which categories of modern diseases blood stasis patterns are assigned and the meaning of blood stasis interpreted with perspectives of Korean Medicine and modern medicine. Methods : We reviewed "Neijing", "Shanghanlun", "Yilingaicuo", "Xuezhenglun" and other books and modern clinical papers related with blood stasis. Results : 1. Blood stasis patterns are related with disorders of hemorrheology, hemodynamics, platelet function, microcirculation, microelements and endothelial damage. 2. From the types of syndrome differentiation, diverse diseases classified in type of qi deficiency with blood stasis and type of blood stasis due to qi stagnation are reported, which reflects qi and blood are closely connected. And many diseases are classified in type of kidney deficiency with blood stasis, which has something in common with chronic diseases can achieve effect from treatment considering blood stasis. 3. Diseases related with kidney involve menopausal disorder, mazoplasia, prostatitis, erectile dysfunction, chronic nephritis, renal calculus, osteoporosis and bursitis. Diseases related with heart involve coronary artery disease, arrhythmia and cerebral thrombosis. Diseases related with spleen involve gastritis, colonitis and digestive organ ulcer. Diseases related with liver involve hepatitis, hyperthyroidism and stroke. Diseases related with lung involve neurodermatitis, bronchitis and paranasal sinusitis. Conclusions : Blood stasis pattern which is one of the areas to draw medicine's attention has broad clinical application.

Despite wide therapeutic use of CpG ODN against infection, allergy and cancer, the safety and toxicity of CpG ODNs were poorly delineated. Thus, we investigated whether optimal dosing of CpG ODN would affect immunotoxicological parameters in NZB/NZW F1 mice. Comparisons were made among control, non-CpG ODN and mouse CpG ODN ($10{\mu}g$)-treated groups for 4 weeks. To gauge the immunotoxicity of CpG ODNs, we measured nonspecific parameters, degree of lupus nephritis, proteinuria, or autoantibody, and cytokine expression in mRNA level of lymphocytes. We found that there were no significant differences among groups in nonspecific immunotoxicological profiles and in evaluation profiles of glomerulonephritis. However, titer of anti-dsDNA and anti-cardiolipin antibodies in mouse CpG ODN group rose three or eight-fold higher than in control group. Collectively, CpG ODN might be clinically less immunotoxic in terms of clinical profiles in lupus-prone NZB/NZW F1 mice, in spite of high autoantibody titer in CpG ODN treated groups.

Purpose: The purpose of this study were to describe of resilience in children with chronic illness and family resilience, and to identify their correlations. Method: Data was collected from 108 children and their families, being treated by hospitals C and K in Seoul, who are diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, IgA nephritis, diabetes, asthma at least six months ago. Descriptive, t-test, One-way ANOVA, and Pearson's Correlation were done. Result: The mean score of resilience in children was 101.31 and family resilience was 60.14. The variable which showed a statistically meaningful difference in the resilience in children according to a general characteristic was the gender of a child (t=6.209, p<.05), diagnosis (F= 6.315, p<.01), age of a mother (t=2.237, p<.05), and school grade (F=12.838, P<.01). In terms of the family resilience according to a general characteristic, the variable showing a statistically meaningful difference was the order of sibling (F=13.468, p<.01). There was significant positive resilience in children between family resilience (r=.356, p<.01). Conclusions: In this study we proposed the implement programs for the increase of the resilience in children with chronic illness. In order to give a positive effect on the resilience in children, implement for the increase of the family resilience is also proposed.

In this study, we wanted to determine if the respirotropic JMK strain of infectious bronchitis virus(IBV), which has a spike glycoprotein gene that is 99% similar to the nephropathogenic Gray strain of IBV, could adapt and cause lesions in the kidney following intracloacal passage in chickens. Two day old specific pathogen free(SPF) cchickens were infected with Gray and JMK strains by the intraocular and cloacal route. Several tissue samples were collected at various times. Viruses were recovered from more tissues and earlier in the infection from chickens infected cloacally than chickens infected intraocularly. Virus was isolated from the kidney of chickens infected with Gray by the intraocular route and JMK by the intracloacal route, but not from chicken given JMK the intraocular route. Histopathologically, interstitial nephritis was observed in Gray infected chickens. However, viral RNA or antigen were not detected in the kidney by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. We further passaged the JMK strain ten times in two day old SPF chickens using cloacal inoculation. We examined the virus titer and histopathological change in the kidney at each passage level. The amount of virus recovered from the kidney was stable throughout this serial passage and the passaged virus did not caused renal damage. Further, virus could not be isolated from the kidney when chickens were infected with the passaged virus by the intraocular route. We conclude that the JMK strain has a strict upper respiratory tract tropism since cloacal passage did not produce nephrotropism or nephropathogenicity.

Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that is probably related to an autoimmune phenomenon. Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura is characterized by a purpuric rash, arthralgia, nephritis, and gastrointestinal manifestations. We reviewed 169 children hospitalized with a diagnosis of Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura between 1989 and 1998. One-hundred thirty-nine (82.2 %) had gastrointestinal findings including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal bleeding. Surgical consultations were obtained for ten children, and laparotomy was performed in five. Three children suspected of having appendicitis underwent appendectomy. None had appendicitis. One child thought to have been intestinal strangulation was found to have hemorrhagic edema of the proximal jejunum and of the distal ileum. Another child underwent resection for an hemorrhagic infarct of the distal ileum. A high index of suspicion of this disease entity in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in children can avoid unnecessary laparotomy in most cases. However, life-threatening gastrointestinal complications may occur in low percentage of cases. Prompt recognition and adequate radiologic evaluation of the abdominal manifestation of this entity is necessary for early surgical intervention.

Disseminated adenovirus infection can result in high mortality and morbidity in immunocompromised patients. Here, we report the case of a 10-year-old renal allograft recipient who presented with hematuria and dysuria. Adenovirus was isolated from his urine. His urinary symptoms decreased after intravenous hydration and reduction of immunosuppressants. However, 2 weeks later he presented with general weakness and laboratory tests indicated renal failure necessitating emergency hemodialysis. Adenovirus was detected in his sputum; therefore, intravenous ganciclovir and immunoglobulin therapy were initiated. Renal biopsy revealed diffuse necrotizing granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis compatible with renal involvement of the viral infection. Adenovirus was detected in his serum. Despite cidofovir administration for 2 weeks, adenovirus was also detected in the cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in generalized tonic-clonic seizure. The patient died 7 weeks after the onset of urinary symptoms. Adenovirus should be considered in screening tests for post-renal transplantation patients who present with hemorrhagic cystitis.
