The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of Poria extract on rat's nephrotoxicity induced by CsA. The experimental animals were divided into 3 groups and treated as follows; Nothing was given to Sample A, Sample B was given normal saline after IV injection of CsA and Sample C was given Poria extract after CsA injection. After precription of medicine, serum BUN, creatinine, total protein, sodium, potassium, chloride ions were measured. 1. Changes in serum level. ALT, BUN, chloride ion were significantly reduced in experimental group as compaired to control group, and total protein showed significant elevation in experimental group. AST was reduced, but not significant and creatine level was below the normal range. K level showed mild elevation initially and later showed mild decrease, but no significance is noted. There were no significant differance in the sodium level. 2. Changes in Urine level. Urinary specific gravity showed significant increase in experimental group compaired to control group. Urinary creatinine level initially increased, and later decreased but showed no significance. To conclude, it can be inferred that Poria may improve nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity in rat induced by Cyclosporin A.

It has been reported that boron may be beneficial for optimal calcium metabolism and, thus, optimal bone metabolism. Therefore, we designed a study to determine the effect of boron supplementation on Ca and bone metabolism in rats. The rats of 80-l40g body weight were given a control(0ug), 5$\mu\textrm{g}$, 10$\mu\textrm{g}$, 20$\mu\textrm{g}$, 40$\mu\textrm{g}$, or 80$\mu\textrm{g}$ boron supplement per Is diet for 4-weeks. The results are summarized as follows. There were no differences in total food intake and weight gain among the experimental groups. fecal Ca excretion, urinary Ca excretion, apparent Ca absorption, Ca retention, serum alkaline phosphatase activity, and urinary hydroxyproline were not affected by boron supplementation. There was no difference in serum creatinine. Whereas, urinary creatinine excretion was increased with increasing boron supplementation, and conse-quently creatinine clearance was increased with boron supplementation. No differences were found in length, weight, density, Ca content of femur and scapular. The findings suggest that boron supplementation was not effective in Ca and bone metabolism in growing rats fed normal Ca diet. (Korean J Nutrition 31(6) : 1039-1048, 1998)

The pharmacokinetics of sulfamethoxazole were investigated in rabbits with folate-induced renal failure. The blood level, area under the blood concentration curve (AUC) and biological half-life were increased significantly, and the urinary excretion was decreased significantly compared with those of normal rabbits. Correlation of serum creatinine concentration and AUC, biological half-life, and correlation of creatinine clearance and renal clearance have linear relationship respectively. From these results, dosage regimen of sulfamethoxazole is considered to be adjusted for effective and safe therapy in renal failure.

이가 식이효율(FER), glucose, creatinine, cholesterol, triglycetide, HDL-cholesterol, 동맥경화지수(AI) 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 식이효율은 정상군이 5.94%로 가장 높았고, 당뇨대조군은 0.58%로 정상군에 비해 현격한 감소를 보였다. DA군과 DB군은 각각 3.65%, 3.38%로 다른 투여군보다 상대적으로 높은 수준의 식이효율을 보였다. 혈당변화를 측정한 결과 투여 전에 비해 DA군은 41%, DB군은 24.8%, DC군은 31.2%, DDL군은 18.6%, DDH군은 25.5%의 혈당 감소효과를 보였다. 생맥산 투여 전 creatinine 함량은 정상군에 비하여 당뇨 유발군에서 상승을 보였으며, DB군은 투여 후 33.3%의 유의적인 감소(p<0.05)를 보였고, 그 외의 군(DA, DC, DDL, DDH)에서는 유의적인 변화가 없었다. 혈청 내 cholesterol 수치의 유의적인 상승을 보인 당뇨 유발군과 비교하여 생맥산을 14일간 투여한 모든 군에서 cholesterol 수치의 유의적인 감소를 보였다. 당뇨 유발군에서 유의적인 상승을 보인 혈청 triglyceride는 DC군에서 수치가 감소하였지만 유의적인 차이는 없었다. HDL-Chlolesterol은 DA, DB, DC군에서는 유의적인 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 반면 DDL군과 DDH군에서의 HDL-chlolesterol은 투여 전과 후 각각 41.81$\pm$2.28 mg/dL, 40.75$\pm$0.48 mg/dL에서 50.59$\pm$2.77, 49.93$\pm$1.17 mg/dL로 유의적인 증가를 나타냈다. Atherogenic index(AI)를 측정한 결과 투여 전에는 당뇨유발군의 AI 수치가 정상군과 비교 시 모든 그룹에서 상승하였으나, 투여 14일 후 측정결과 DA, DB, DC군에서 정상군에 가깝게 수치가 낮아진 것을 확인했다. 또한 DDL군과 DDH군은 유의적인 AI지수의 감소를 나타냈으며 압출성형 백삼을 이용한 생맥산의 식이가 동맥경화의 예방에 상당한 효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 STZ로 유도된 당뇨 rat에서 생맥산의 식이는 FER의 개선에 상당한 효과를 보이며, 고혈당을 억제시키고 정상수준의 혈당으로 회복하는데 영향을 미치는 것으로 여겨진다. 또한 발효시킨 백삼을 이용한 생맥산 투여군에서는 신장 기능의 지표인 creatinine의 함량을 낮추고 지질수준의 감소를 보여 당뇨의 증상을 완화시키고 동맥경화증과 같은 혈액 순환기계 질환의 예방에 효과적인 건강보조식품으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was to investigate the effects of SUNGSIMJIHWANGTANG(SSJHT) on the blood and brain tissues of aged rats. For the experiment, the aged rats were divided into three groups : Non treated group(NC), distilled water fed group(PC), SSJHT fed group(SSJHT). Each group was fed for ten days before administration of scopolamine. Then, we injected scopolamine intraperitoneally to PC and SSJHT group for 5 days. We observed the changes of their blood cell(WBC, RBC, platelet), blood serum(BUN, creatinine, glucose, uric acid), erythrocyte hemolysis, and the activities of cholinesterase and measured the amounts of malondialdehyde in the serum, catalase, and SOD in the brain tissue. The main results of this investigation are as follows. 1. In respect of the number of WBC, SSJHT group exhibited significant increase in comparison with PC. 2. In respect of the amount of creatinine and uric acid in the blood serum, SSJHT group exhibited significant decrease in comparison with PC. 3. In respect of erythrocyte hemolysis, SSJHT group exhibited significant suppression in comparison with PC. 4. In respect of the activity of cholinesterase in the serum, SSJHT group exhibited significant activation in comparison with PC. 5. In respect of the amounts of malondialdehyde in the serum, SSJHT group exhibited significant decrease in comparison with PC. 6. In respect of the activity of catalase in brain tissue, SSJHT group didn't exhibit significant change in comparison with PC. 7. In respect of the activity of SOD in brain tissue, SSJHT group exhibited significant activation in comparison with PC. As a result of this study, SSJHT is expected to have antiaging effect by suppressing the formation of free radicals, the accumulation of antioxidants and further study needs to be carried on about SSJHT.

The effects of intraperitoneal injection of cephradine in a dose of 75 mg/kg and netilmicin in dose of 50 mg/kg and their combination on creatinine and urea serum levels of rabbits were studied as well as the antipseudomonal activity against three multiresistant clinicial isolates. The antibacterial activity was investigated by two methods: Checkerboard titration method and time-kill studies. Finally, the antibacterial activity of the sera obtained from the rabbits receiving the used drugs in the previous regimen was studied using time-kill study method against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Results obtained from this study indicated that both creatinine and urea serum levels of the rabbits receiving both drugs were not significantly different from those of the rabbits receiving either cephradine or netilmicin alone. At the same time the in vitro antibactrial activity (either of the prepared solutions of the used drugs and their combination or of the sera obtained from the rabbits receiving these drugs as mentioned before) showed a synergistic effect against the tested strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

To evaluate the effect of the saponin of heat-processed ginseng (Sun ginseng, SG), we investigated the protective effect of SG total saponin fraction against adenine-induced chronic renal failure in rats. SG saponin significantly decreased the levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine in the serum, but increased the urinary excretion of urea nitrogen and creatinine, indicating an improvement of renal function. SG saponin also inhibited adenine-induced kidney hypertrophy and edema. SG saponin reduced serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and lactate dehydrogenase activities increased by adenine. Based on these findings, the ameliorating effect of SG on chronic renal failure may result from its saponin.
