The fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum (Polyporaceae) is one of the valuable crude drugs, which has been used clinically in Korea, China, and Japan for a long time as a tonic and sedative, and for the treatment of hepatopathy, chronic hepatitis, nephritis, gastric ulcer, hypertension, arthritis, neurasthenia, insomnia, asthma, and poisoning and chronic bronchitis. Nowadays, this mushroom is used for leukopenia and paid much attention as a home remedy. (omitted)

The patient, 11 yeats old male was examined for routine oral health care. He had been hospitalized for treatment of nephritis. Hos physical condition os mental retarded & undergrowth state. In oral examination, notch on cutting edge and screw-driver shaped crown of maxillary central incisors, narrow crown and dwarfed & pinched occlusal surface of lower first molars and scars(rhagades) on the angle of the lip were shown. We diagnosed the above symptoms as dental defects of congenital syphilis; Huchinson's inscisors and mulberry molar.

Acute inhalation intoxication of CS (O-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile) occurred among the 192 animals in confined animal cages of farm as the result of prolonged exposure. A total of 8 animals (3 silver foxes, 3 fitches and 2 minks) died in 15 hours after the exposure. Distinct evidences of pulmonary atelectasis were observed as with hepatorenal damages. The lethal toxicity of CS was considered to be due to early severelung damages leading to asphyxia, accompanying acute toxic hepatitis and nephritis.

Pediatric rheumatologic diseases are rare systemic diseases that can involve various organs, including the kidneys. Each rheumatologic disease can exhibit characteristic renal involvement, which requires proper treatment and diagnosis. In this review, we discuss renal involvement in classic rheumatologic diseases, including juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, and juvenile dermatomyositis. Reviews addressing lupus nephritis and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated renal disease are complex and tend to cover a wide array of topics, and thus were excluded from this review.

Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ purpura (HSP)는 피부, 관절, 위장관 그리고 신장을 침범하는 혈관염으로 혈소판 감소증이 없는 자반증을 전형적인 증상으로 하는 질환으로 그 원인에 대하여 여러 가지 가설들이 있지만 아직 확실치 않다. HSP에서 신장 침범은 이차적으로 오는 혈관염으로 임상적으로 혈뇨와 단백뇨의 증상을 보이고 병리학적 소견은 IgA 신염과 매우 유사하다. 그 외에도 HSP 신염은 다양한 형태의 사구체 신염을 보이는데 막성 사구체 신염은 드물다. 이에 저자들은 HSP의 임상 양상을 가지면서 혈청 내 보체의 감소, 단백뇨 및 고혈압을 보이고 조직학적으로 막성 사구체 신염 소견을 보인 6세 환아를 경험하였기에 이를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose : To analyse the results of the renal biopsies and the clinical diagnoses of patients who had undergone percutaneous kidney biopsies in the department of pediatrics at Kyunghee University Hospital for 22 years from 1984 to 2005. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 1559 patients and analyzed the chief complaints that led to a renal biopsy, age, sex, histopathologic findings and diagnosis. Routine kidney biopsies were performed by automated gun biopsy guided by real time ultrasonography. The diagnoses were made based on the specimen's light microscopy, immunofluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy findings and clinical symptoms and signs. Results : The mean age of the patients was 10 years with the male to female ratio being 1.3:1. The chief complaints that led to a renal biopsy included hematuria only(753 cases, 48.3%), proteinuria only(125 cases, 8.0%) and hematuria combined with proteinuria(537 cases, 34.4%). The most frequent histopathological finding was primary glomerular disease(75.4%) which included IgA nephropathy(30.1%) and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis(27.6 %). Systemic disease comprised 11.4% which included Henoch-$Sch\ddot{o}nlein$ nephritis(10.5%) and lupus nephritis(0.8%). Alport syndrome was found in 1.1% of cases which was attributed to hereditary causes. 628 children(40.3%) visited the clinic due to abnormal school urine screening abnormalities and among these, 237 children had mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis and 234 children who had IgA nephropathy were managed thereafter. Conclusion : IgA nephropathy and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis were the two major forms of primary glomerulonephritis found in Korean children who had kidney biopsies from 1984 to 2005.

Purpose: The degree of radiation injury to kidneys which are located within the limits of radiotherapy area is determined by the volume and the dose of radiation to which the organ is exposed. When the tolerance dose of the kidney is exceeded after a latent period of 6 months acute nephritis develops and after 18 months chronic nephritis ensues. Melatonin is known to prevent the oxidative injury of toxins and radiotherapy with its free radical scavenging capacity. Methods and Materials: In this study 8 weeks old 24 Sprague -Dawley rats were allocated into 4 groups: Control group; Radiotherapy group (20 Gy bilaterally in 5 fractions); Melatonin group (10 mg/kg intraperitoneally), and Melatonin+radiotherapy group (20 Gy Radiotherapy in 5 fractions+ melatonin 10 mg/kg intraperitoneally). After a follow-up period of 6 months BUN was determined in all groups. After rats were euthanized the kidneys were removed for histopathological examination under both light and electron microscopes. Results: After 6 months follow-up, both at light and electron microscopy levels, the rats in radiotherapy+melatonin group were significantly protected against the radiation injury comparing to radiotherapy group (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was shown in this experimental model that melatonin has protective effects against radiation injury to kidneys.

Rifampin is common drug to treat tuberculosis. Rifampin induced acute renal failure, hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia is rare and severe complication. We have experienced a case of rifampin induced acute renal failure, hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. Forty-six years old male was suffered from reactivation of pulmonary tuberculosis, and had to medicate antituberculosis drugs including rifampin(600mg/day). Seven years ago, antituberdulosis medication were successfully administered to treat pulmonary tuberculosis without any side effects of drugs. But eight days after readministration of rifampin, fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, oliguria, elevated BUN and creatinine were developed. And thrombocytopenia was also identified after administration of rifampin. The patient was recovered slowly after discontinuation of rifampin & intensive medical care. The renal function was normalized at 55 days after cessation of rifampin. The renal pathologic findings were interstitial nephritis and acute tubular necrosis. And, the rifampin dependent antibodies were identified by indirect antiglobulin test in the presence of rifampin. So we report this case with a brief review of literature.

메틸말론산혈증은 선천성 유기산대사질환 중 하나로 증상의 발현시기 및 임상 증상이 매우 다양하며, 장기간의 합병증으로 세뇨관 간질 신염과 만성 신기능 저하, 췌장염, 기저핵 손상, 지능저하가 발생 할 수 있다. 연구자들은 이러한 메틸말론산혈증의 세뇨관 간질신염을 동반한 활동저하 환자에서 파미드로네이트 치료를 통해 고칼슘혈증과 골다공증의 호전을 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
