원자력산업의 시설증대로 우라늄 오염의 가능성이 증가되고 있음에도 불구하고 종사자 및 국민에 대한 안전대책 및 의료적 처치에 관한 연구가 매우 미흡한 실정에 있어 이에 대한 응급처치방안을 수립코자 우라늄을 투여한 후 제염제를 투여하여 관찰하였던 바 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 우라늄오염에 의한 체중변화에 미치는 제염제의 영향에 있어서 sodium bicarbonate와 생리적 식염수를 병행투여한 군과 우라늄을 투여하고 30분이 지나서 dithiothreitol을 투여한 군에서는 우라늄단독투여군에 비해 체중이 현저하게 증가하였다.(P<0.05). 2. 모든 실험군은 우라늄오염에 의한 음수량과 배뇨량의 변화를 유의성 있게 호전시켰으며(P<0.05), 특히 sodium bicarbonate와 생리적 식염수를 병행투여한 군과 우라늄을 투여하고 30분이 지나서 dithiothreitol의 투여한 군이 가장 높은 증가경향을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 3. 우라늄오염에 의한 BUN농도 변화에 미치는 제염제의 효과는 sodium bicarbonate와 생리적 식염수를 병행투여한 군과 우라늄을 투여하고 30분이 지나서 dithiothreitol를 투여한 군이 공히 우라늄단독투여군보다 BUN 농도가 매우 감소되었다(P<0.01). 4. 우라늄을 투여하고 30분이 지나서 dithiothreitol를 투여한 군은 우라늄오염에 의한 serum creatinine의 농도증가를 유의하게 감소시켰으나 (P<0.01), sodium bicarbonate와 생리적 식염수를 병행투여한 군은 다소 감소하는 경향으로 나타났다. 5. 우라늄오염에 의한 urine creatinine농도 변화에 미치는 제염제의 효과에 있어서 sodium bicarbonate와 생리적 식염수를 병행투여한 군과 우라늄을 투여하고 30분이 지나서 dithiothreitol를 투여한 군에서는 우라늄단독투여군에 비해 cretinine의 배설이 상당히 증가하였다(P<0.05). 6. 우라늄오염에 의한 신장의 소견에 있어 우라늄단독투여군은 근위곡세뇨관상피의 공포화 및 종창, microvilli와 brush border의 손실, 세뇨관 상피의 괴사가 관찰되었으며, 간장의 충혈, 중심성 괴사 및 모세관 확장증도 관찰되었다. 그리고 sodium bicarbonate와 생리적 식염수를 병행투여한 군과 우라늄을 투여하고 30분이 지나서 dithiothreitol를 투여한 군에서는 우라늄 단독투여군에 비해 높은 방호효과가 관찰되었으나 다른 실험군에서는 큰 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 우라늄의 체내오염시에는 sodium bicarbonate와 생리적 식염수를 가능한 빨리 병행투여하거나 dithiothreitol을 체내오염후 30분이 지나서 투여하는 방법이 우라늄오염에 대한 제염에 매우 유효할 것으로 생각되며, 특히 우라늄에 의한 인체장해를 유의하게 경감시켜줄 것으로 사료되었다.

To examine the effects of alcohol consumption on body fluid restoration and fat mobilization following exercise induced dehydration, nine healthy collegiate men ($24{\pm}2yrs,\;177{\pm}5cm,\;72{\pm}8kg,\;10.5{\pm}2.3%$ body fat) underwent three experiments. In each experiment, subjects ran on a treadmill to reduce individual body mass to $2.2{\pm}0.1%$ and consumed one of three beverages containing 0, 4, or 8% alcohol over 60 min followed by 4 hr of resting recovery. They consumed approximately 150% of weight loss $(2053{\pm}204,\;2091{\pm}149,\;and\;1943{\pm}295mL)$ and content of alcohol was $9.9{\pm}1.0(0%),\;71.9{\pm}5.1(4%)$, and $132.2{\pm}20.1g$ (8% trial). Body weight, urine volume and samples, blood samples, and thirst sensation were measured five times; at baseline, immediately after exercise, and 0, 1st, and 4th hr of recovery. Blood alcohol concentration after ingestion was $0.0{\pm}0.0(0%),\;0.1{\pm}0.02(4%)$, and $0.2{\pm}0.03%$ (8% trial). No differences in blood sodium and potassium concentrations, and urine specific gravity were noticed over time periods and trials. Thirst sensation tended to be elevated in all trials immediately after exercises and urine output was elevated during the recovery. The magnitude of changes in these variables was proportional to the alcohol concentrations, but not statistically significant. While serum osmolality was not different among trials and time periods in 0 and 4% trials, it was higher during recovery than the baseline in the 8% trial (P<0.01). Triglycerides did not change throughout the time period and among trials. Free fatty acids were elevated after exercise in all trials and 4th hr of recovery in 0% (P<0.05). Subjects' net body fluid balance at 4th hr of recovery was negatively maintained and proportional to alcohol concentrations. Only 8% trials showed a significant reduction at 1st and 4th hr of recovery compared to 0 hr. The results suggested that diuretic effect of alcohol after moderate level of dehydration appeared dose dependent, but beverage containing alcohol up to 4% did not induce impaired rehydration than alcohol free drinks. Alcohol effects on fat mobilization during recovery appeared to be minimal and the mechanism is unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of purgation therapy with Natrii sulfas, an oriental medical therapy for stroke patients with constipation, on physiological indexes and the brain edema of rats. Methods: Brain edema was induced by the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO); Natrii sulfas was administered once after the MCAO. At 3, 6, 15, 24, 48 hours after reperfusion, physiological indexes such as fecal weight, urine volume and water content in stool were assessed, and at 48 hours after reperfusion the edema index was measured. Results: 1. Purgation therapy with Natrii sulfas significantly improved the reduction of fecal weight caused by ischemic insult (P<0.05). 2. Purgation therapy with Natrii sulfas significantly improved the reduction of urine volume caused by ischemic insult (P<0.05). 3. Purgation therapy with Natrii sulfas significantly improved the reduction of water content in stool caused by ischemic insult (P<0.05). 4. Purgation therapy with Natrii sulfas did not improve the neurological symptom caused by ischemic insult. 5. Purgation therapy with Natrii sulfas did not attenuate the total infarct volume caused by ischemic insult. 6. Purgation therapy with Natrii sulfas attenuated the brain edema caused by ischemic insult (P<0.05). Conclusions: These results suggest that purgation therapy with Natrii sulfas improves some important symptoms and has a protective effect on the brain edema caused by ischemic insult.

Objectives Migratory pathogenic factor(六淫) occupies an important position in the etiology of Korean Medicine. This paper shows how Dampness, one of Migratory pathogenic factor(六淫), is explained in Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑). And, based on this, we will figure out how to make a judgement of Dampness through diagnosis. Method 1. Collect parts of Dampness mentioned in Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑). 2. From the collection, extract contents about mechanism and symptom of Dampness, which is considered necessary for diagnosis. 3. Put all the extraction together, suggest the diagnosis element which can be criteria of judgement of Dampness through diagnosis. Result & Conclusions The occurrence of Dampness come from a wet climate and environment externally, and overeating of greasy food and digestive disorder internally. There are many different kinds of symptoms throughout the body cause of poor circulation. Dampness is classed as Cold-dampness, Damp-heat, and Dampness-phlegm depending on characteristic symptoms, and mainly shows musculoskeletal disease and digestive troubles. Typical symptoms are pitting edema, distention and fullness, moderate and thready pulse, volume of perspiration increase, loose feces, urine volume decrease, pain of joint and muscle, restriction of movement, etc.

Oryeong-san which was first recorded in Shanghanrun describing the treatments of acute febrile disease is one of the frequently used oriental medicines. Oryeong-san has been prescribed for the treatment of symptoms accompanied by edema. The purpose of this study was to examine the diuretic effects of Oryeong-san by different routes of administration. Oryeong-san (100 mg/kg body weight) was administrated by three different routes in Sprague-Dawley rats: intravenous infusion, intraperitoneal injection and oral intake. Oral intake of Oryeong-san significantly increased urinary volume and excretion of $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, and $K^+$ compared to vehicle-treated control group. The effects were concentration-dependent. Intravenously administrated Oryeong-san increased urinary volume and electrolyte excretion but without significance in hydrated (0.02 ml/min/rat for 90 min) anesthetized rats. Similarly, intraperitoneally injected Oryeong-san had no effects on water and urine electrolyte excretion compared with saline control group. These findings suggest that Oryeong-san has different effects on water and electrolyte balance by routes of administration.

장기적으로 소금량을 다르게 섭취시킴에 따라서, 체내의 Na 대사에 관여하는 호르몬인 aldosterone, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) 및 renin 분비와 신장의 배설 반응에 나타나는 변화를 정상 혈압쥐 Wistar와 spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR)에서 비교하고자 실험하였다. 생후 7주의 숫쥐인 Wistar와 SHR에게 저염과 고염 식이 (각각 2, 25 mmol Na/100 g diet)를 6주간 먹였다. 그 후 ether 마취하에서 대퇴 동맥과 정맥 및 방광에 관을 삽입한 후, restraining cage에 넣었다. 수술회복 후 안정시 뇨와 혈액을 채취한 후, 0.9% saline을 30분동안 체중의 3%되게 정맥주입(혈장량 증가)하고 뇨와 혈액을 채취하였다. 혈장의 호르몬을 방사면역법으로 측정하였다. Wistar와 SHR의 저염, 고염 식이군의 성장률에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. Wistar 저염과 고염군의 평균 동맥혈압은 각각 113과 110 mmHg로 차이가 없었으며, SHR의 동맥압은 141과 149mmHg로 고염군이 높았다. 저염식이군에서 혈장 aldosterone농도는 고염군보다 월등히 높았고, ANP 농도는 차이가 없었으며, renin은 고염군보다 낮았다. 혈장량 증가 이후 혈장 aldosterone은 모든 군에서 $30{\sim}40%$정도 감소하였고, renin은 $30{\sim}60%$정도 감소하였다. 혈장량 증가 이후 ANP는 증가하였는데 고염군에서의 증가도가 저염군에서보다 월등히 높았다. 혈장량 증가 이전의 Wistar군의 혈장 aldosterone과 renin의 대조치 값은 SHR보다 유의하게 높았고, ANP 농도는 차이가 없었다. 그러나 혈장량 증가 이후의 Wistar와 SHR의 aldosterone과 renin의 감소정도는 유의한 차이가 없었으나, ANP의 증가도는 Wistar가 SHR보다 높은 경향을 보였다. 호르몬들 중에서 혈장 aldosterone과 renin사이에는 양의 대수함수 관계가 있으며, 기울기는 고염군이 저염군보다 유의하게 높았다. 혈장량 증가 이후에 나타나는 뇨량과 소금 배설률의 증가 정도는 고염군과 저염군 사이에 차이가 없었다. 그러나 SHR이 Wistar보다 더 심한 이뇨와 Na 배설항진 반응을 보였다. 이상의 결과는 소금 섭취량에 따라서 aldosterone, ANP 및 renin의 분비 조절이 다르며, 정상 혈압과 고혈압쥐 사이에서도 차이가 있음을 시사해 주고 있다.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by abrupt deterioration of renal function, and its diagnosis relies on creatinine measurements and urine output. AKI is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, and is a risk factor for development of chronic kidney disease. There is no proven medication for AKI. Therefore, prevention and early detection are important. Physicians should be aware of the risk factors for AKI and should monitor renal function in high-risk patients. Management of AKI includes optimization of volume status and renal perfusion, avoidance of nephrotoxic agents, and sufficient nutritional support. Continuous renal replacement therapy is widely available for critically ill children, and this review provides basic information regarding this therapy. Long-term follow-up of patients with AKI for renal function, blood pressure, and proteinuria is recommended.

The distribution and excretion of DWC-751, a new cephalosporin, were examined in rats and mice following a single intravenous administration. DWC-751 in plasma and urine was determined by both HPLC and microbiological assay. The plasma concentration of the drug declined biexponentially. The initial and terminal half lives of the drug were 3.0 and 28.3 min, respectively. Binding of the drug to plasma proteins was 42.3%. The distribution volume at steacly-state ($Vd_{ss}$) was only 0.341 ι/kg, which is well correlated with the low n-octanol/water partition coefficient of the drug ($K_{o/w{\cong}0$) Actually, the drug was distributed to liver, kidney and lung with very low organ/plasma concentration ratio. The drug, was excreted mainly via renal excretion, i.e., the total($CL_T$) and apparent renal($CL_{R}$) clearances of the drug were 10.8 and 7.5 ml/min/kg, respectively.

Present study was undertaken in order to document early renal ultrasonographic changes of gentamicin nephrotoxicosis and to show the value of renal ultrasonography as a contributory means of early diagnosis of acute renal failure in dogs. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with six treatments in two blocks (gentamicin-treated & saline-treated). Acute renal failure was induced by toxic dosage of gentamicin (30 mg/kg) and saline solution sham equivalent in volume to that of the toxic dosage of gentamicin (1.5-3ml). Subjective visualization of increased renal cortex was visible as homogenous echoes that were hypoechoic relative to the surrounding tissues, whereas the renal medulla was anechoic to slightly hypoechoic. After treatment, the renal cortex was hyperechoic relative to the surrounding tissue. Increased renal cortex echogenicity was associated with significant nephrotoxicosis and was superior to serum creatinine elevation in nephrotoxicosis detection. Urine GGT was superior to other clinicopathological data utilized in the diagnosis of nephrotoxicosis. Based on the above results, increased renal cortex echogenicity seemed to be of use in detecting of acute renal failure.
