목적 : 이전 연구에서 단삼 추출액이 강력한 항산화 작용이 있음을 확인한 바 있어 단삼 추출액이 신장세뇨관 세포에서 oxidant에 의한 세포사망 및 DNA 손상을 방지하는 지를 조사하고 이러한 효과가 지질의 과산화를 억제하는 효과에 기인하는 지를 시험하였다. 방법 : 신장 근위세뇨관 세포 유래 세포주인 opossum kidney (OK)세포를 이용하여 세포 사망은 frypan blue exclusion방법을 이용하여 평가하였고, DNA손상 정도는 double stranded DNA의 파괴를 측정하여 평가하였다. Oxidant 약물 모델로는 $H_2O_2$를 사용하였다. 결과 : $H_2O_2$는 적용시 간과 농도에 비례하여 세포 사망을 유도하였다. 단삼 추출액은 0.05% 농도에서 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포사망 및 DNA 손상을 방지하였다. 이러한 방지효과는 $H_2O_2$ 제거 효소인 catalase와 철 착염제인 deferoxamine에 의해서도 나타났다. 그러나 강력한 항산화제인 DPPD는 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포 사망이나 DNA손상을 방지하지 못하였다. $H_2O_2$는 세포내 ATP 농도를 감소시켰으며. 이러한 감소는 poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase억제제인 3-aminobenzamide에 의해 방지되었으나 단삼 추출액에 의해서는 영향을 받지 않았다. 3-aminobenzamide는 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포 사망을 방지하였다. $H_2O_2$는 지질의 과산화를 증가시켰으며, 이러한 변화는 단삼 추출액과 DPPD에 의해 방지되었다 결론 : OK 세포에서 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포사망과 DNA 손상에는 지질의 과산화가 중요한 역할을 하지 않으며, 단삼 추출액의 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포 사망과 DNA 손상 방지 효과는 항산화 작용이 아닌 다른 기전에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.

Chronic exposure to cadmium (Cd) results in an inhibition of protein endocytosis in the renal proximal tubule, leading to proteinuria. In order to gain insight into the mechanism by which Cd impairs the protein endocytosis, we investigated the effect of Cd on the acidification of renal cortical endocytotic vesicles (endosomes). The endosomal acidification was assessed by measuring the pH gradient-dependent fluorescence change, using acridine orange or FITC-dextran as a probe. In renal endosomes isolated from Cd-intoxicated rats, the $V_{max}$ of ATP-driven fluorescence quenching ($H^+-ATPase$ dependent intravesicular acidification) was significantly attenuated with no substantial changes in the apparent $K_m,$ indicating that the capacity of acidification was reduced. When endosomes from normal animals were directly exposed to free Cd in vitro, the $V_{max}$ was slightly reduced, whereas the $K_m$ was markedly increased, implying that the biochemical property of the $H^+-ATPase$ was altered by Cd. In endosomes exposed to free Cd in vitro, the rate of dissipation of the transmembrane pH gradient after $H^+-ATPase$ inhibition appeared to be significantly faster compared to that in normal endosomes, indicating that the $H^+-conductance$ of the membrane was increased by Cd. These results suggest that in long-term Cd-exposed animals, free Cd ions liberated in the proximal tubular cytoplasm by lysosomal degradation of cadmium-metallothionein complex (CdMT) may impair endosomal acidification 1) by reducing the $H^+-ATPase$ density in the endosomal membrane, 2) by suppressing the intrinsic $H^+-ATPase$ activity, and 3) possibly by increasing the membrane conductance to $H^+$ ion. Such effects of Cd could be responsible for the alterations of proximal tubular endocytotic activities, protein reabsorption and various transporter distributions observed in Cd-exposed cells and animals.

Polygalae Radix was used as diuretics, analgesics and expertorants in oriental medicine. The root of Polygala tenuifolia Willd. (Polygalaceae) is comprised saponin (Onjisaponin A,B,C,D,E,F and G) polygalitol, onsitin and sugars. The pharmacological action of crude Polygala-saponin (PS) obtained from the roots are studied. The following results were obtained; 1) The median lethal dose $(LD_{50})$ of PS in mice is presented 71.1mg/kg s.c. and 694. 5mg/kg p.o.. 2) PS demonstrated diuretic action of relatively long acting duration in mice. 3) The diuretic mechanism of PS was found due to inhibitory effect of renal tubular reabsorption of electrolytes and glomerular vascular dilatation. 4) The group, administered simultaneously PS and cefadroxil monobydrate was significantly increased with PS alone group on diuretic action. Synergistic effect cefadroxil monohydrate on the diuretic action of PS seems due to competitive inhibition of plasma protein binding with PS. 5) PS demonstrated analgesic action by the acetic acid stimulating method and Randall-Selitto test in mice. 6) PS presented antipyretic action against febrile treated with the typhoid vaccine. 7) PS was significantly prolonged against the hypnotic duration of pentobarbital in mice. 8) Onset time convulsion and death induced by picrotoxin and strychnine in mice were not delayed. According to the above results, the PS was identified as a pharmacological active component obtained from roots of Polygala tenuifolia Willd.

Effects of cadmium exposure on renal $Na^+$ and $K^+$ transports were studied in rats. During the course of cadmium treatment (2 mg Cd/kg/day, s.c. injections for 3 weeks) renal tubular transports of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ were evaluated by lithium clearance technique. During the early phase (first week) of cadmium treatment, urinary $Na^+$ excretion decreased drastically and this was due to an increased $Na^+$ reabsorption both in the proximal and distal nephrons. During the late phase (third week) of cadmium treatment, filtered $Na^+$ load was decreased by reduction in GFR, but the renal $Na^+$ excretion returned to the control level due to impaired $Na^+$ transport in the proximal tubule. Urinary excretion of $K^+$ did not change during the early phase, but it rose markedly during the late phase of cadmium treatment. These results indicate that a light cadmium intoxication induces a $Na^+$ retention, and a heavy intoxication results in a $K^+$ loss. Possible mechanisms for these changes are discussed.

기구 배광이 전체적인 조명환경에 미치는 영향은 크며, 기구배광은 반사판, 프리즘 설계 등으로 구현된다. 램프의 물리적 크기는 기구설계에 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에 램프에 의한 배광의 변화와 램프로 흡수되는 빛을 고려하여 기구를 설계하여야 한다. 기존의 반사파 설계 알고리즘의 경우 램프의 물리적인 크기를 고려하지 않았으며, 기구배광의 출력값도 몇몇의 경우에서는 오차가 발생하였다. 이에 본 논문에서는 램프의 크기를 고려한 반사판설계 알고리즘을 개발, 구현하여 이전의 기구설계 알고리즘이 가지고 있던 오차를 줄였으며 좋은 성과를 얻었다.

신장기능 조절에 있어서 중추의 dopaminergic system의 역할을 구명하고자 dopamine의 선택적 길항제인 haloperidol을 가토의 측뇌실내로 투여하여 신장기능의 변동을 관찰하였다. Haloperidol 15와 $50{\mu}g/kg$투여시 항이뇨작용을 나타냈으며, $15{\mu}g/kg$의 경우는 주로 세뇨관에서 Na재흡수의 촉진에 의하였으며, $50{\mu}g/kg$의 경우에는 주로 세뇨관에서의 수분재흡수가 뚜렷하였다. 그러나 $150{\mu}g/kg$의 경우에서는 뚜렷한 이뇨작용을 볼 수 있었으며 이때 신혈류 및 사구체 여과율에는 유의한 변동을 볼 수 없었으나 세뇨관에서 Na재흡수가 현저히 억제되어 natriuresis 및 kaliuresis 가 출현되었다. 한편 dopamine은 5, 15, 50, $150{\mu}g/kg$의 양을 측뇌실내로 투여하였을때 투여랑에 대체로 비례하는 항이뇨효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. 여기에서 5, $15{\mu}g/kg$의 소량에 의하여는 그 항이뇨작용이 주로 신세뇨관에 있어서 Na재흡수의 촉진에 기인하였으나 $50{\mu}g/kg$이사의 양에서는 그 외에도 신혈류 및 사구체 여과율의 감소가 더욱 뚜렷하여짐을 볼 수 있었다. Haloperidol $150{\mu}g/kg$ 투여후에 dopamin을 투여하였을 때 $15{\mu}g/kg$ dopamine의 효과는 감퇴되었으나, 50, $150{\mu}g/kg$ dopamin의 항이뇨효과는 차단되지 아니하였으며 dopamine양의 증가에 따라 haloperidol의 이뇨작용이 소실됨을 볼 수 있었다. 이상의 실험결과는 대량의 haolperidol은 중추의 dopamine receptor에 대한 상경적 길항에 의하여 이뇨작용을 나타낸 것으로 해석되며, 소량의 haloperidol은 dopaminergic neurone에 있는 autoreceptor의 차단작용의 결과 항이뇨 작용이 나타난 것으로 추측되었다.

The effect of parathyroid hormone on calcium and phosphate metabolism have been widely investigated, however less attention has been paid to the effect on urinary excretion. This study was performed for the purpose determining urinary excretion of Na, K, Ca, and $Po_4$, of 18 thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) rabbits, which were TPTX previously 7 to 10 days compared with the same normal ones. After TPTX 0.2 mg/day of synthyroid was donated to the rabbits. The concentration of electrolytes in the serum and urine was determined by the following method; Na and K were determined by means of flame photometry, Ca was by EDTA titration $method^{19)}$, and $Po_4$ by Fiske and Subba-Raw $method^{20)}$. The results as follows. The concentrations of electrolytes in the serum were 1) In the normal control rabbits (N = 25) (data, $Mean{\pm}S.E.$) $Na\;131.72{\pm}1.33\;mEq/L$, $K\;3.59{\pm}0.28\;mEq/L$, $Ca\;12.58{\pm}0.29\;mg%$, $Po_4\;4.50{\pm}\;0.45mg%$. 2) In the TPTX rabbits(N= 18) $Na\;140.6l{\pm}2.56\;mEq/L$, $K\;3.38{\pm}0.36\;mEq/L$, $Ca\;l2.18{\pm}0.45\;mg%$, $Po_4\;3.92{\pm}\;0.35\;mg%$. There was no significant change between the normal and TPTX rabbits. The concentration of elelctrolytes in the urine were variously changed. 3) In the normal rabbits. $Na\;8.40{\pm}1.09\;mEq/L$, $K\;81.59{\pm}10.19\;mEq/L$, $Ca\;16.02{\pm}3.12\;mg%$, $Po_4\;13.16{\pm}2.89mg%$. 4) In the TPTX rabbits, $Na\;14.57{\pm}3.39\;mEq/L$ slight ncreased, $K\;116.06{\pm}12.77\;mEq/L$ significant increased (P<0.05), $Ca\;18.90{\pm}5.44\;mg%$ no significant increased, $Po_4\;43.38{\pm}8.67\;mg%$ significant increased (p<0.01). The effect of TPTX was assumed that it affected upon increasing tubular secretion of $K^+$ and inhibition of the tubular reabsorption of $Po_4$.

This article is to investigate the effects of Euphorbia Pekinensis RUPR. on rats with acute renal failure induced by gentamicin sulfate. So this experimental research was focused on measuring (1)the levels of creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, total protein, sodium, potassium, chloride in the serum and (2)the levels of protein, blood, sodium, potassium, chloride, pH, specific gravity and volume in the urine and (3)intake water. The results were summarized as follows. 1. While the levels of creatinine and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase in the serum were significantly increased, the level of BUN in the serum were partially increased and the levels of sodium and potassium in the serum were partially decreased on the Euphorbia Pekinensis $R_{UPR}$. group. 2. While the urine volume was significantly increased, the levels of protein, blood, sodium and chloride in the urine were partially increased and the specific gravity, pH in the urine were partially decreased. According to the above results, it is shown that Euphorbia Pekinensis $R_{UPR}$. without refinning had a diuretic effect on rats with acute renal failure induced by gentamicin sulfate, but aggravated the glomerular filtration rate and tubular reabsorption. So, it is supposed that Euphorbia Pekinensis $R_{UPR}$. without refinning needs to be used carefully on renal disease and futhermore research about the kinds of extracts form is necessary.

In order to determine the effect of Oryeongsan reputed to have diuretic action since Han Dynasty and possible synergetic action of Dianthi Semen, Polygonum avicularis Herba, Kochiae Fructus and Akebiae Lignum, herbs with similar reputation, when added to the above prescription, their decoction powders were solved into distilled water and injected into rabbits through the ear vein. Upon the treatment, the excretion of sodium, potassium and chloride ion together with urine volume was kinetically determined. At the same time the clearance of plasma creatinine and sodium ion was determined and the following results were obtained. Every experimental group demonstrated diuretic action, though feable, of relatively long duration. The diuretic mechanism in the case of Oryeongsan made up by mixing the seperate extracts of individual components and Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen was found to be inhibitory effect of renal tubular reabsorption in contrast to the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Polygonum avicularis Herba, Kochiae Fructus or Akebiae Lignum in which case the diuretic mechanism was found to be glomerular vascular dilatation. The urinary excretion of potassium ion was increased in the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen, Kochiae Fructus of Akebiae Lignum whereas in the other cases no similar change was registered. The diuretic action was most remarkable in the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Polygonum avicularis Herba followed by Oryeongsan(A) plus Kochiae Fructus, Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen, extract mixture of individual component of Oryeongsan, Oryeongsan(A) and Oryeongsan(A) plus Akebiae Lignum decreasing order. The duration of diuretic action was found to be 90 minutes in the case of Oryeongsan and mixture of individual component of Oryeongsan, and 60 minutes in the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen, Kochiae Fructus or Akebiae Lignum in contrast to the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Polygonum avicularis Herba which lasted up to 120 minutes.
