  • This study was designed to investigate the problems facecl by adolescents who have nephrotic syndrome and who have struggled with their disease over a long time. Information obtained from this study can be utilized as basic data in planning nursing care for these adolescents. The subjects in this study were 13 adolescents who were being treated in the pediatric OPD of one general hospital in Seoul. The treatment period ranged from 2 to 15 years. The tool for this study was constructed after asking patients with nephrotic syndrome about their problems using anunstructured questionalire. Problem items which were observed during nursing cared in the pediatric unit. were also inclucled. Ten problem items were constructed on the basis of Moonlcy's problem check list and two additional items related to diet and physical activity were added to the list. The results of this study can be summerized as follows : adolescents with Nephrotic Syndrome. 1) have a vague knowledge about their illness and have distorted concepts. 2) feel social isolation within their peer group because of their changed appearance, limited physical activity and special diet regimen. 3) have problesm in heterosexual relationship because of short height in boys and changes in body propotions in girls. 4) think that their personality has changed due to illness. In most cases(8) changes were in a negative direct ion but in two cases they were positive. 5) have problems with scholastic achievement due to physical weakness and school absence. 6) who are in late adolescentce are more realistic and plan for their future taking into consideration their prognosis much more so than do patients who are in early adolescence. 7) have problems in their peer relationships. 8) have limitation their enjoy ment of leisure time. 9) have some conflict with their siblings. 10) think religion is significant and it has and influence on their life.

  • Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) in children is characterized by massive proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia. Minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) is the most common form of INS in children. The pathogenesis of MCNS still remains unclear, however, several hypotheses have been recently proposed. For several decades, MCNS has been considered a T-cell disorder, which causes the impairment of the glomerular filtration barrier with the release of different circulating factors. Increased levels of several cytokines are also suggested. Recently, a "two-hit" theory was proposed that included the induction of CD80 (B7-1) and regulatory T-cell (Treg) dysfunction, with or without impaired autoregulatory functions of the podocyte. In contrast to the well-established involvement of T cells, the role of B cells has not been clearly identified. However, B-cell biology has recently gained more attention, because rituximab (a monoclonal antibody directed against CD20-bearing cells) demonstrated a very good therapeutic response in the treatment of childhood and adult MCNS. Here, we discuss recent insights into the pathogenesis of MCNS in children.

  • This study was conducted to identity the degree of burden and social support perceived by mothers of nephrotic syndrome patients. Also, relations between burden and social support were investigated to provide basis data for their family health and nursing intervention. The study subjects were mothers of nephrotic syndrome patients whose children were hospitalized in 2 Pediatric wards of University Hospital in Seoul and 1 in Pusan from Jun. 1, 1998 to Jun. 30, 1998. Burden measurement Instrument for this study was designed by the researcher and its basis in one developed by Montgomery et al.(1985) and the reliability was .78. Also. P.R.Q. Part I, II by Brandt and Weinert(1981) was used as social support measurement instrument and the reliability .71. The data analysis was done by SPSS, t-test, ANOVA Pearson correlation. The result were as follows. 1. Burden felt by mothers shows an average value of 60.82 (Maximum 86, Standard deviation 1.244). 2. Of the mother characteristics, the score of burden was high in case of no religion and low income. Of the patient characteristics, the score burden ranked as high MCNS, doing oral therapy, injection therapy at the same time and negative perceived patients condition. 3. The mean score of support was 77.54(Maximum 96, Standard deviation 1.096). 4. The main supporters were husband (the highest), brother, sister, health speciality and the subject expressed the highest satisfaction toward supporters in chronic disease. 5. Of the patient characteristics, the higher age group and the elder group showed high support. Also, positive perceived patient's condition, high support. 6. The relationship between burden and social support is not significant. In conclusion to the above study, the researcher suggests. 1.

  • 목 적 : 1990년 Mendoza등이 스테로이드 저항성 신증후군에서 Mendoza protocol에 의한 장기간의 methylprednisolone pulse therapy (이하 MP 요법)가 관해를 유도하고 유지시키는 효과적인 치료방법인 것으로 보고한 이후, 스테로이드 저항성 신증후군에서 이 치료법의 효과에 관한 보고는 있어 왔지만 스테로이드 의존성 신증후군과 2차성 신증후군에서 이 치료법의 효과에 관한 보고는 아직까지 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 면역억제제 또는 세포독성물질로도 스테로이드 의존성을 없애거나 재발율을 낮출 수 없었던 스테로이드 의존성 미세변화형 신증후군과 난치성 국소성 분절성 사구체 경화증 및 2차성 신증후군에서 Mendoza protocol에 따른 장기간의 MP 요법의 치료 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1997년부터 2000년사이에 세브란스병원 소아과에서 신생검에 의해 1차성 또는 2차성 신증후군을 진단받고 면역억제제 또는 세포독성 물질 치료로 스테로이드 의존성을 없애거나 재발률을 낮출 수 없었던 스테로이드 의존성 미세변화형 신증후군과 기존의 스테로이드 및 면역억제제 치료에 반응을 보이지 않았던 난치성 국소성 결절성 사구체 경화증 및 2차성 신증후군 환아 21명을 대상으로 하여 Mendoza protocol에 따라 82주 동안 MP요법을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 대상 환아를 신조직검사 소견에 따라 분류하면 1차성 신증후군이 16례($76\%$)로 이중 미세변화형 신증후군이 10례, 국소성 분절성 사구체 경화증이 6례였으며, 2차성 신증후군은 5례($24\%$)였다. 스테로이드 의존성 미세변화형 신증후군 10례 모두 ($100\%$)에서 MP요법 시작후 평균 $18{\pm}9일$ 내에 완전관해가 되었으나 전례에서 치료중 또는 치료후에 재발하였고, 연간 평균 재발횟수가 치료전에 $2.1{\pm}1.0회$, 치료중에 $1.4{\pm}0.9회$로 치료전보다 감소하였으나 통계적 의미는 없었고 치료후에는 $2.7{\pm}1.2회$로 치료전보다 증가하였다. 국소성 분절성 사구체 경화증 6례중 3례($50\%$)에서 완전관해, 1례($17\%$)에서 부분관해가 유도되었고 2례($33\%$)에서 여전히 반응하지 않았으며, 치료후 평균 $1.2{\pm}0.7$년간 추적관찰 기간 동안 관해된 4례($57\%$)중 3례($50\%$)에서 관해가 유지되었고 1례에서 재발하였다. 2차성 신증후군 5례중 4례($80\%$)에서 완전관해, 1례($20\%$)에서 부분 관해가 유도되었고 치료후 평균 $1.7{\pm}0.6$년간 추적 관찰 기간 동안 재발한 예는 없었다. MP요법의 부작용으로는 21례중 10례($48\%$)에서 methylprednisolone 정맥주사시 일시적인 고혈압이 있었다. 결 론 : Mendoza protocol에 의한 장기간의 IV-methylprednisolone pulse therapy는 난치성 국소성 분절성 사구체경화증과 2차성 신증후군의 관해유도와 관해유지에는 효과가 있는 것으로 생각되었으며 면역억제제 또는 세포독성물질로도 스테로이드 의존성을 없애거나 재발율을 낮출 수 없었던 스테로이드 의존성 미세변화형 신증후군의 치료에서는 스테로이드 의존성 혹은 재발율의 변화를 나타내지 못하였다. 따라서 장기간의 MP 요법은 스테로이드 및 면역억제제 치료에 저항성을 보이는 1차성 또는 2차성 신증후군의 치료에 시도해볼만한 치료법으로 생각된다.

  • Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a common chronic disease in children; in 90 percent of cases, the condition is primary (idiopathic). Toxic nephropathy can be induced by herbal medicines, and is mainly manifested as tubulointerstitial nephritis and rarely, as glomerulopathy. Here in, we describe two cases of steroid-sensitive NS, which developed after the patients received herbal medicines. A 5-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl were separately admitted within a short time period with acute onset of generalized edema, proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and hypercholesterolemia. Each patient had previously taken herbal medicine, which had been prescribed by different oriental medical clinics for different conditions. The patients were diagnosed with herbal medicine-induced NS and were treated empirically by a standard steroid therapy, with subsequent resolution of their NS. One patient relapsed, but her NS again responded to steroid therapy. We described two unusual cases of prototypical pediatric, steroid-sensitive NS, which was presumed to be minimal-change disease that developed after the administration of herbal medicines. We also reviewed the literature.

  • Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare, acute, serious, and potentially fatal skin disease, in which cell death causes the epidermis to separate from the dermis. It is thought to be a hypersensitivity complex that affects the skin and mucous membranes, and is caused by certain medications, infections, genetic factors, underlying immunologic disease, or more rarely, cancers. We report two cases of TEN associated with deflazacort (DFZ), a derivative of prednisolone, used in the first episode of nephrotic syndrome (NS). The skin eruption appeared on the $4^{th}$ and $5^{th}$ weeks after DFZ administration, while NS was in remission. The widespread lesions were managed by intensive supportive treatment, discontinuation of DFZ, and oral administration of cyclosporine. Both patients showed a rapid improvement in symptoms of TEN without any complications or relapse of NS.

  • Purpose: The purposes of this study were to describe the relationship between depression and resilience and to identify variables associated with depression among children with nephrotic syndrome. Method: Data was collected from 45 children who were registered at one hospital in Seoul. The criteria for sample selection were 10 to 15 year-old children who were diagnosed at least 6 month prior. The instruments included a self-reported questionnaire on resilience by Kim, CDI by Beck, and MBRI by Kwak. Descriptive, Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses were done. Result: The mean score of depression was 11.44 (range:0-54) and resilience was 97.47 (range:32-128). There were significant positive relationships between depression and age (r=0.302, p<.005) and academic achievement (r=-0.318, p<.005). In addition, negative relationships between depression and maternal attitude (r=-0.412, p<.001) and resilience (r=-0.649, p<.001) occurred. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that maternal behavior (${\beta}$=-0.421, p<.005) and resilience (${\beta}$=-0.639, p<.001) were related to depression. Conclusion: Children with higher resilience and with an affectionate mother were less depressed. Thus, it is important to identify strengths of children and help them to increase resilience and implement parenting and counseling programs for parents' of these children. Similar studies with children with other chronic illnesses are needed.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the effects of vitamin E supplementation renal lipid peroxidation in high fat diet and adriamycin (ADR) induced experimental nephrotic syndrome model rats. Treated rats were injected intraperitoneally with ADR (2mg/kgBW/wk) once a week for four weeks. control rats were injected with saline solution instead of ADR. The rats in each group were fed experimental diets of three levels of vitamin E for 10 weeks: Normal (501U/kg diet), high (5,000IU/kg diet), excess (7,500IU/kg diet). The high fat diet and ADR treatment was performed to induce the decrease of kidney functions. Serum total cholesterol was significantly decreased by the excess supplementation. But there was no effect of vitamin E supplementation on serum total lipid and triglyceride. Thiobarbituric acid reacting substances(TBARS) was significantly decreased at high and excess supplementation. Glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase ({TEX}$GP_{x}${/TEX}) and catalase activities (CAT) were measured as antioxidative enzymes. The renalglutathione reductase (GR) and catalase activities (CAT) were inclined to elevate by vitamin E supplementation. Thus the vitamin E supplementation was found to have an antioxicant effect. These results suggested that vitamin E supplementation could alleviate the changes in renal lipid peroxidation.
