Central diabetes insipidus(CDI) results from deficient vasopressin(antidiuretic hormone) secretion and causes polydipsia and polyuria. Its etiologic diagnosis is confirmed with an increase of urine osmolality by administering desmopressin(DDAVP) after water restriction. Because cm is caused by deficiency of vasopressin, up to now, desmopressin, a synthetic analog of vasopressin, has been the drug of choice in the treatment of CDI. However, under such treatment, CDI patients suffer from the continual administration of DDAVP throughout one's life and high cost of the treatment We administrated oriental herb medicine on a cm patient in a state of discontinuance of DDAVP. Prior to the study, brain sella MRI was scanned to exclude germinoma. In addition, urine analysis, serum and urinary osmolality, daily urinary volume, serum electrolyte levels were measured. Chungsimyunjatang was administered for 15 days, and urine analysis, urine osmolality, daily urinary volume, serum Na were measured several times again during the therapy, As a result, urinary frequency increased, serum Na slightly elevated, but specific gravity of urine, urinary osmolality severely decreased and daily urinary volume substantially increased. However, the frequency of DDAVP treatment was reduced from four times per day to once or twice a day with the continual administration of the Chungsimyunja-tang for two months after the discharge.

This study is to increase the accuracy of the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia by presenting a method that can accurately measure the residual urine amount of the bladder by using an ultrasound image. Agar powder, Propanol and distilled water were used as materials for making a phantom. In order to measure the volume, a $10m{\ell}$ cylinder, syringe and beaker were used. The image was obtained by scanning phantoms produced into six shapes. Each constant value was obtained by using the expression designed to measure the residual urine amount of the bladder and was compared and analyzed. The measuring method of Bladder volume was presented and a constant value for each shape was obtained and five observers measured it five times. According to the results of clinical application, the errors of Ellipse-beanbag, Shield-shield were 11.0%, 18.2%, respectively. Constant values depending on the shape of each phantom were presented in order to accurately measure the volume of the bladder in measuring the amount of residual urine for the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The accuracy of the volume using this was verified statistically(p > 0.05). Therefore, it is considered to be useful in diagnosing benign prostatic hyperplasia by using the ultrasound imaging measuring method presented.

The sensing of urination level of bladder urine volume is effective for preventing the urinary incontinence which is one of the three major infirmities afflicting the elderly. In this study, we found that it is useful for manufactured ultrasonic urination sensor to measure between distance of anterior and posterior wall of bladder, as a preliminary experiment. Also, Thee was a intimate interrelation between urine volume level and interwall distance of bladder.

The relative efficacy on the renal function of rabbits by oral administration of furosemide and 1 : 2 furosemide-PVP coprecipitate was compared by measuring the urine volume in response to maximal response and the amounts of electrolytes excreted in urine. The furosemide produced a rapid onset, short duration of diuresis, in contrast, the 1: 2 furosemide-PVP coprecipitate, a rapid onset, significantly larger magnitude, and longer duration of diuresis and therefore the bioavailability of furosemide from the coprecipitate were increased significantly. The average urine volume and the amount of sodium and potassium excreted in urine were increased about 2.9-, 14.8-, and 1.8-fold from furosemide, and about 6.2-, 24.2-, and 3.6-fold from 1 : 2 furosemide- PVP 40,000 coprecipitate, rerpectively, comparing by their control values.

Uroflowmetry is non-invasive and easily performed to diagnose benign prostatic hypertrophy(BPH) frequent in aged men. Weight change during urination is usually measured to estimate the urinary flow rate by a load cell, but sensitive to any impacts against the bottom of the container, leading to unnecessary noise generation. Moreover, load cells are relatively expensive raising the production cost. The present study proposed a new technique, measuring hydraulic pressure on the bottom of the urine container to evaluate the urinary volume. Low cost pressure transducer enabled almost perfectly linear relationship between the urine volume and the hydraulic pressure. During both the simulated and human urination experiments, variance of the pressure signal was more than 50% smaller than the weight signal acquired by a load cell, which demonstrated that the impact noise was decreased to a great degree by pressure compared to weight measurement.

위암뇨에서 7 ppm과 8 ppm 사이에 네 개의 특성 핵자기공명신호가 나타남을 최근의 핵자기공명분석으로 알게 되었고 , 이 신호들은 정상뇨와 타질병 환자뇨에 비하여 자주 일어남을 발견하였다. 이 네 개의 신호들은 각각 7.25 ppm, 7.38 ppm, 7.63 ppm 그리 고 7.80 ppm이었다. 스핀결합상수의 계산에 의하면, 이 네 개의 공명신호는 종래에 알려졌던 p-hydroxyphenyl이 아니라 m-hydroxyphenyl 임이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는 핵자기공명신호가 자주 일어남을 이용하여 암진단을 가능케 하였고, 이들 네 방향족 핵자기공명신호의 체적자화율을 측정하여 타 목적에 기여할 수 있게 하였다. 체적자화율의 측정 결과는 각각 10.01$\times$$10^{-6}$, 10.07$\times$$10^{-6}$, 10.19$\times$$10^{-6}$ 그리고 10.27$\times$$10^{-6}$이었고, m-hydroxyphenyl의 총체적자화율은 10.27$\times$$10^{-6}$이었다.

In order to study the dally metabolism of sodium chloride and of nitrogen, 24-hour urine samples were collected from 1,593 normal Korean females whose ages varied from 2 to 80 years old. The volume, the concentration of chloride and the osmolality of the urine, add the total nitrogen were determined, along with the resting pulse rate and the blood pressure. The daily urine volume was maintained at $1,000{\sim}1,300\;ml/m^2/day$ in all age groups while the chloride concentration and osmolality of the urine samples were approximately 200 mEq/liter and 600 milliosmoles, respectively, in most of age groups. Hence the daily urinary output of sodium chloride was estimated to be approximately $15g/m^2$/day in adult groups. On the other hand, the daily excretion of total nitrogen amouted to approximately $5{\sim}6g/m^2/day$. These findings indicated that the average Korean females live on low-protein and high-salt diets throughout their life. Despite a known correlation between the incidence of hypertension and the high salt intake, none of the subjects employed in this work showed any sign of hypertension.

The present study was designed to assess the protective effect of a selective thromboxane $A_2$ receptor antagonist, KT2-962 (KT2) and possible mechanisms of adriamycin(AD)-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. The male Wistar rats were given either of AD (7.5 mg/kg, i.v.) alone in the AD-group (n=5) or in KT2+AD- group (n=5) which is a combination of AD and KT2 (30 mg/kg/day, i.p.) for 10 days from 3 days before and 7 days after AD injection. The body weight, 24-hours urine volume, urine protein and urinary N-acetyl-$\beta$-D-glu-cosaminidase (NAG) activity were measured with an interval of 2 days during 1 week. BUN, serum creatinine and creatinine clearance were measured on the 7th day. KT2 has significantly suppressed AD-induced change of body weight, 24-hours urine volume, urine protein and urinary NAG activity in the KT2+AD-group. The change of BUN, serum creatinine and creatinine clearance were significantly inhibited in the B7T2+AD-group. Based on these results, it is concluded that KT2 prevents AD-induced nephrotoxicity and suggests that endogenous thromboxane A2 may play an important role in AD-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.
