문맥 고혈압 동물에서 내장장기의 혈류역동학적 변동으로서 문맥압의 증가와 동반하여 장간의 혈류량 증가와 혈관저항의 감소뿐만 아니라 전신 혈관저항의 감소가 특징적으로 야기된다. 문맥고혈압에 있어서 propranolol이 beta 1과 beta 2 수용체의 봉쇄작용으로 문맥고혈압을 저하시킨다는 점에서 사용되기도 한다. 본 실험에서는 흰쥐에서 문맥을 부분적으로 결찰하여 문맥고혈압을 야기하고 10일 후에 내장장기의 혈류역동학적 변동과 혈관 수축성 약물에 대한 반응성의 변동을 관찰하였다. 동시에 이에 대한 propranolol의 효과도 검토하였다. 문맥 결찰 후에는 비 펄프압의 증가와 동반하여 내장장기의 혈류량과 모세혈관압 증가가 야기되었고 동시에 모세혈관 전 저항(Ra)과 모세혈관 후 저항(Rv)은 저하되었다. Noradrenaline에 대한 Rv의 증가반응, adrenaline에 대한 Ra와 Rv의 증가반응, 및 phenylephrine에 대한 상장간막 동맥압, Ra및 Rv의 증가반응이 특징적으로 문맥결찰군에서 대조군에 비하여 현저히 약화되었다. Propranolol 처치군(PPL-3)에서 장간막 혈류량의 감소가 초래되었고, 문맥결찰군에서 저하된 Ra와 Rv가 propranolol투여로 대조군 수치로 회복되 었다. 이러한 성적의 결과로 문맥 결찰에 의하여 장간막 혈류량 증가와 동반된 Ra와 Rv의 저하는 비 펄프압 증가로 야기된 것으로 추측되며 내장장기 혈류역동학적 및 혈관 반응도의 변동은 장기적인 propranolol 처치로 효과있게 교정되는 점으로 미루어 내장장기의 과혈류역동은 내장장기 혈관의 아드레나린성 수용체의 기능변동과 밀접한 관련이 있다고 사료되었다.

The influence of cimetidine pretreatment(100mg/kg, single i.p.) on the hepatic blood flow was investigated using pharmacokinetic parameters of indocyanine green(ICG) in the rat on the basis of hepacc perfusion-limited model. ICG(1mg/kg) was respectively administered via femoral and portal vein to the control and to the cimetidine-pretreated rats. The rate constant K12, K20 and the systemic clearance(CLt) of ICG were significantly(p<0.05) decreased ill the cimetidine-pretrea-to(B rats, but no significant diffirences were observed in hematocrit and liver weight. The biliary excretion rates of ICG were also decreased regardless of the route of administration in the cimetidine-pretreated rats. And also the hepatic blood flow in rats was decreased about $16\%$ by cimetidine. It may be concluded that the decreased hepatic blood flow with cimetidine mainly contributed to the decreased hepatic uptake and the decreased systemic clearance of ICG.

To investigate the postmortem changes in hepatic cell membrane, the rats were sacrificed with cervical dislocation and kept in an incubator at $25^{\circ}C$, 70% of humidity for 12 hours. The biochemical experiments in postmortem were done at 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours. The degree of rigor mortis and algor mortis were increased with the time during 12 hours. The contents of hepatic malondialdehyde were rapidly increased ai 2 hours, and gradually decreased afterward. In histological findings, after 8 hours, the clotted blood was seen in central vein and sinusoids, and especially portal veins were dilated a1though the structure of hepatic lobules was preserved well. Furthermore, both in the histochemical and enzymatic examinations, membrane bounding alkaline phosphatase activities were gradually decreased with the time. In conclusion, the activity of membrane bounding alkaline phosphatase was linearly decreased with time in the early postmortem period and so it might be referred to the possibility fur the estimation of death time in the early postmortem period.

The renal action of furosemide was investigated in the chicken, a species which has poorly developed loops of Henle and only rudimentary counter-current system in the kidney. Furosemide was infused into a hindleg vein, which is known to lead to the peritubular capillaries, forming renal portal system. A dose of 0.03 mg/kg/20 min. furosemide elicited a profound diuresis with saluresis, limited only to the infused side. This action rests on the inhibition of sodium reabsorption in the tubules, as the GFR remained unchanged or even decreased. It is thus inferred that the action of furosemide on Henle's loop contributes to the overall diuretic action only a negligible degree.

The existence of oxytocin in the pituitary gland of chicken has been ascertained, but its physiological roles are still obscure. In the study the action of oxytocin on renal function of the chicken was investigated during water diuresis, utilizing clearance and the Sperber technique. The results obtained are summarized as follows: Oxytocin, like in many species of mammals, elicited a profound diuretic response in the chicken. Urine flow, excretion of electrolytes, as well as glomerular filteration rate increased, with intravenous infusion of $3{\sim}10\;m{\mu}/kg/min$. Oxtocin, infused into the renal portal circulation via hindleg vein in a dose of $3{\sim}13\;m{\mu}/kg/min$. elicited marked increase in urine flow, glomerular filteration rate and sodium excreted in the urine. The diuretic effect was more pronounced in the infused side. It is suggested that diuretic response to oxytocin in the chicken results from dual action of oxytocin: increase of GFR and inhibition of sodium reabsorption on the renal tubule. The possibility that oxytocin might act through some endogenous substances could be ruled out.

Effects of Ssang Wha Tang (SWT), a blended Chinese traditional medicine, on the pharmacokinetics of sulfobromophthalein (BSP) were studied in the rats. BSP was administered via portal vein to the control and the SWT-treated rats. The in vitro distribution of BSP to blood cells and the hemato-physiological conditions, liver weight, GOT. GPT activity were also examined. The systemic clearance $(CL_s)$ of BSP was increased with the administration of SWT, but no significant differences were observed in the liver weight and in vitro distribution of BSP to blood cells. These results suggest that the intrinsic clearance of free BSP of the liver is increased with the administration of SWT in the rats.

Portosystemic shunts in 3 Dogs with respiratory sign of cough and with dementia signs characterized by hypersensitivity, salivation, and seizure were diagnosed at veterinary teaching hospital of Seoul National University. In radiographs, microhepatica was observed. In abdominal ultrasonography, abnormal intrahepatic connections between the portal vein and the systemic vessels and tortuous vascularity were found. There was no complication such as ammonium urate urolith in kidney or urinary bladder, These dogs were treated with medicine and protein-restricted diet.

This study was performed to examine the clinical, serological, ultrasonographic and pathological findings in dogs with acute liver disease induced by tetrachlorethylene at 4 times of anthelminthic oral dose. The results obtained through this experiment could be summarized as follows: 1. The dogs administered with tetrachlorethylene, revealed decreased body weight, and showed lethargy and depression. 2. In serological findings, bilirubin values slightly increased, AST and ALT was decreased at 1∼3 days, and after that time increased according to the lapse of days, and revealed the highest at 5 days, and decreased to normal values at 6 days. 3. In ultrasonographic findings, branches of the portal vein were increased, the echodensity of the liver parenchyma was decreased at early stage, and increased at mid stage, and decreased at last stage. 4. In histopathological findings, necrosis of parenchymal cell, and perivascular hemorrhage were observed more severely at 6 days, as compared with 3 days. There results suggest that ultrasonographic examination is considered to be a more simple, rapid, non-invasive and useful diagnostic method for acute liver parenchymal lesion.

Four children with solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreas are reported. Three were girls. Mean age at operation was 12 years and 7 months (10-13 years). Clinical presentation included nausea, vomiting, and apalpable mass. One had hemoperitoneum due to tumor rupture. In two cases, tumors were in the body of the pancreas, and one the body and tail, and in one,the tail. Mean diameter of the tumors was 10.8 cm (8-15cm). Surgical procedures were distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy in 2 cases, distal pancreatectomy in one, and subtotal pancreatectomy and splenectomy in one. Mean follow-up period was 61 months (6-121 months). Three patients are still alive without any recurrence. However, in the one case of ruptured tumor, portal vein thrombosis and liver metastasis developed after subtotal pancreatectomy and splenectomy during the course of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.

Variceal bleeding results in significant morbidity and mortality in both children and adults. The guidelines for the management of variceal bleeding are well established in adults but not in children as there have been insufficient pediatric studies of this disorder. In addition, the adult guidelines for treatment of variceal bleeding cannot be applied directly to children as the etiology and natural course of this disease differs between children and adults. Examples of recommended treatments in children include endoscopic variceal ligation as secondary prophylaxis for biliary atresia whereas a meso-Rex shunt operation for extrahepatic portal vein obstruction. In this review, we discuss prophylaxis options and some technical aspects of endoscopic management for variceal bleeding in children.
