The effects of phenthyl isothiocyanate(PEIFTC) on xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes and cell kinetics in the target organs for Ν-nirtosobis(2-oxopropyl) amine(BOP)-tumorigenicity were investigated in female Syrian golden hamsters in order to gain the mechanistic insigths into the chemopreventive action of PEITS against BOP-initiated lung and pancreatic carcinogenesis in hamsters. Hamsters were given BOP subcuteneo-usly(s.c.) and/or PEITC by gavage 2h prior to the BOP treatment. Eight and 24h after the PEITC administration, animals were sacrificed for analyzing P450 isoenzymes, glutathine(GSH), glutathione S-transferase(GST) and cell kinetics. The PEITC pretreatment significantly reduced the hepatic P450 isoenzume levels such as CYP2B1 and DYP1A1 which were significantly increased by the BOP treatment. However, PEITC did not affect the CYP levels in the pancreas and lung. Interestingly, the PEITC pretreatment rather lowered the heparic GST and GSH levels, regradless of BOP administration. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)- labeling indices were dose dependently decreased by PEITC in the pancreas acini and ducts, bronchioles, and renal tubules in which the cell replication was significantly affected by BOP. These results thus suggest that PEITC exerts the chemopreventive effects in hamsters by influencing xenobiotic matabolizing phase I enzymes in the liver and regulating cell kinetics in the target organs.
Recently it has been shown that central dopaminergic system regulates the renal function and that intracerebroventricularly (icv) administered dopamine (DA) produces antidiuresis and antinaturiuresis, resembling icv norepinephrine, and evidence has been accumulated which would suggest the involvement of adrenergic system in the DA effects. It was attempted therefore in this study to see whether the DA effect is influenced by pretreatment of yohimbine which is known as a specific ${\alpha}_2-adrenoceptor$ antagonist. Yohimbine produced, when given icv in doses of $100\;{\mu}g/kg$, marked antidiuresis and antinatriuresis along with decreases in renal perfusion and glomerular filtration. DA, in doses of $15\;{\mu}g/kg$, also produced antidiuresis and antinaturiuresis. However, after yohimbine-pretreatment DA $15\;{\mu}g/kg$ improved renal hemodynamics, and electrolyte excretion and urine flow rate transiently increased. With $150\;{\mu}g/kg$ DA, the antidiuresis was more marked in the control group. But the yohimbine-pretreated animals responded with marked diuresis and natriuresis, sodium excretion increasing more than three-fold, which lasted for 20 minutes. $K^+-excretion$, osmolar clearance as well as free-water reabsorption increased. Renal hemodynamics improved partly. Apomorphine, a DA agonist, when given icv in doses of $150\;{\mu}g/kg$, produced diuresis and naturiuresis, concomitant with increased renal hemodynamics. Yohimbine-pretreatment however did not abolish the apomorphine-induced diuresis and naturiuresis. Antidiuresis and antinatriuresis elicited by norepinephrine, $10\;{\mu}g/kg$, was not affected by yohimbine-pretreatment. These results indicate that the renal effects of icv DA is not so simple as those of norepinephrine, and the diuretic natriuretic cffect which had been masked by the hemodynamic effect becomes manifest only when the decreases in hemodynamics were removed by the pretreatment of yohimbine. It was further suggested that those DA receptors which mediate the natriuretic response to icv DA is not affected by yohimbine, whereas those receptors involved in the decrease in renal hemodvnamics are blocked by yohimbine. And the possibility of involvement of adrcnergic system in the DA action is not substantiated.
In an effort to provide evidence as to the regulatory role of the central dopaminergic system on the renal function, the effects of centrally administered dopamine and its specific antagonist haloperidol were investigated. Haloperidol (HA) given intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) induced antidiuresis in doses of 15 and $50{\mu}g/kg$. With $15{\mu}g/kg$ sodium reabsorption in the tubules was increased, while with $50{\mu}g/kg$ free-water reabsorption was increased. However, a marked diuresis with increased sodium and potassium was observed with $150{\mu}g/kg$. Hemodynamic changes were not evident, indicating that the diuresis is of tubular origin. Dopamine (DA), on the other hand, produced antidiuresis when given i.c.v. in a dose-related fashion. With smaller doses of 5 and $15{\mu}g/kg$ the antidiuresis was related to increased reabsorption of sodium in the tubules, but higher doses of 50 and $150{\mu}g/kg$ the decreases in renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate were evident in addition to the tubular action. After pretreatment with $150{\mu}g/kg$ HA, the effects of $15{\mu}g/kg$ DA was abolished, but the antidiuretic actions of 50 and $150{\mu}g/kg$ were not blocked, and the natriuretic diuretic action of HA was overcome and became inconspicuous. These observations indicate that the central dopaminergic system influences the renal function by producing antidiuresis, and HA elicits diuresis and natriuresis by competitively antagonizing DA specifically on the central dopaminegic receptors. The antidiuresis observed with smaller doses of HA can be best explained by the facts that there are more than two types of DA-receptors in the brain and that the presynaptic autoreceptors on the dopaminergic neurones which affect the dopamine release at the synapse are more sensitive than the postsynaptic receptors. Overall, these data provide an evidence indicating that the central dopaminergic system plays a role in the regulation of renal function in the rabbit.
Tapentadol is a novel oral analgesic with a dual mode of action as an agonist of the ${\mu}$-opioid receptor (MOR), and as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) all in a single molecule. Immediate release (IR) tapentadol shows its analgesic effect quickly, at around 30 minutes. Its MOR agonistic action produces acute nociceptive pain relief; its role as an NRI brings about chronic neuropathic pain relief. Absorption is rapid, with a mean maximal serum concentration at 1.25-1.5 h after oral intake. It is present primarily in the form of conjugated metabolites after glucuronidation, and excretes rapidly and completely via the kidneys. The most common adverse reactions are nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and somnolence. Constipation is more common in use of the ER formulation. Precautions against concomitant use of central nervous system depressants, including sedatives, hypnotics, tranquilizers, general anesthetics, phenothiazines, other opioids, and alcohol, or use of tapentadol within 14 days of the cessation of monoamine oxidase inhibitors, are advised. The safety and efficacy have not been established for use during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, or for nursing mothers, pediatric patients less than 18 years of age, and cases of severe renal impairment and severe hepatic impairment. The major concerns for tapentadol are abuse, addiction, seeking behavior, withdrawal, and physical dependence. The presumed problem for use of tapentadol is to control the ratio of MOR agonist and NRI. In conclusion, tapentadol produces both nociceptive and neuropathic pain relief, but with worries about abuse and dependence.
The excretion of uric acid in man has been of great interest because of its importance as an end product in purine metabolism as well as of its role in causing gout. There are many differences in the modes of renal handling of urate among various species of animals. Uric acid actively secreted by the renal tubules of most vertebrate including amphibians, reptiles, and birds. On the other hand, in most mammals net tubular reabsorption of urate appears to be occurred with some exception, such, as Dalmatian dog. In the rabbits, however, the mechanism of renal excretion of uric acid has long been a subject of controversial results. Within a given group it was possible to find individuals with either net secretion or net reabsorption of urate depend on the experimental conditions. Excretion of urate can be depressed or enhanced by a variety of drugs belonging mainly to the aromatic acid group. Diodrast, probenecid, cinchophen and salicylates have been reported as uricosuric agents, on the other hand, lactate, benzoate, pyrazinoic acid, acetazolamide and chlorothiazide are known to be contraindicated to use for the patient with gout since these agents depress the excretion of uric acid from the kidney. However, complex and sometimes the paradoxical effects on the urate excretion by those above mentioned drugs are not uncommon. The experiments were designed to investigate the mechanisms of renal handling of urate as well as the effects of variety of drugs on the tubular transport of uric acid in the rabbits. Male or female white rabbits, from 1.5 to 2.5 kg in weight, were used. The experimental methods used in these studies were clearance, stop-flow, and retrograde injection techniques. The effects of saline, salicylate, chlorothiazide and probenecid were investigated in each experimental conditions. Results of the experiments were summarized as follows; 1. In the rabbits, the rate of urate clearance was always lower than the rate of inulin clearance. The filtration fraction of the urate was one third on an average, therefore, it is estimated that approximately two thirds of filtered urate was reabsorbed. 2. In the kidneys of rabbits, the urate clearance was increased significantly by administration of chlorothiazide and decreased by probenecid. The administration of salicylate had no effect on the rate of urate clearance. The filtration fraction of urate was increased by chlorothiazide and decreased by probenecid. 3. In the stop-flow studies, the U/P ratio of urate was higher than the U/P ratio of inulin in the proximal region, indicating the secretion of uric acid in the proximal tubules. The proximal peak was increased by chlorothiazide and inhibited by probenecid.4. In the retrograde injection studies, the reabsorption of urate in the proximal region was observed, and these reabsorptive transport of urate was depressed by either probenecid or by chlorothiazide. 5. No distal tubular activity was observed under any of these experimental conditions concerning urate transport. The results of these experiments show that probenecid inhibits both secretory and reabsorptive transport of uric acid in the kidney of the rabbits. The enhancement of secretory transport of urate by chlorothiazide in the clearance study was due to the secondary action of chlorothiazide which inhibits the reabsorptive transport of urate in the proximal tubules. It is evident that the urate transport in the kidneys of rabbits is bidirectional nondiffusive flux both secretory and reabsorptive directions in the proximal tubules.
Objective : This study was undertaker to determine if Juglandis Semen herbal acupuncture (JSA) exerts protective effect against alterations in membrane transport function in rabbits with mercury-induced acute renal failure. Methods : Nephrotoxicity was induced by subcutaneous administration of Hg(a single dose of 10mg/kg) and JSA was performed at both sides of Shenshu($(BL_{23})$, Sinsu) for 7 days. Results: The administration of Hg at a subcutaneous single dose of 10 mg/kg caused a reduction in GFR to 12% of the basal value and an increase in fractional $Na^+$ excretion to 8.9-fold, indicating generation of acute renal failure. When JSA were given for 7 days prior to Hg administration, such changes were significantly attenuated. The fractional excretion of glucose and phosphate was increased to approximately 102- and 35-fold, respectively, in rabbits treated with Hg alone. The increase in rabbits treated with Hg following ISA are significantly lower than that in animals treated with Hg alone. Uptakes of glucose and phosphate in purified isolated brush-border membrane and $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity in microsomal fraction were inhibited in rabbits treated with Hg alone, suggesting that impairment in proximal reabsorption of glucose and phosphate is resulted from a direct damage of membrane transport carriers and disruption of the normal $Na^+$ gradient. Such changes were prevented by JSA. Conclusion These results indicate that the administration of Hg causes impairment in reabsorption of solutes in the proximal tubule via the generation of reactive oxygen species. JSA provides the protection against the Hg-induced impairment in proximal reabsorption, and its effect may be resulted from its antioxidant action.

The comparative activities of acetone, ethanol, and aqueous fractions extracted from fruit powder of Cudrania tricuspidata by different temperature were tested by in vitro experimental models; peroxidation of linoleic acid and autooxidation of rat hepatic and renal microsomes by using thiobarbituric acid (TBA) for assay of free malondialdehyde production, and scavenging activities of free radicals by DPPH (α, α'-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl). In DPPH method, acetone fraction extracted at 30℃ showed the highest free radical scavenging activities and acetone fractions extracted at 30℃ and 60℃ and ethanol fraction extracted at 30℃ showed stronger than BHT (butylated hydroxitoluene) although used ten-fold lower concentrations. In thiocyanate method used linoleic acid an inhibitory effects of all fractions showed higher than control treatment. TBA method used linoleic acid showed the highest antioxidative activity in acetone fraction extracted at 30℃ and 60℃. an inhibition activity against lipid peroxidation in hepatic microsomes of rats showed the highest at acetone faction extracted at acetone fraction among extracted fractions was shown to be the most potent antioxidative properties and this action was more potent in fractions extracted at 30℃ than those extracted at 60℃.
The mother was 24 years old, primipara, and had been taking carbamazepine 400mg(serum concentration $5.0-8.5{\mu}g/ml$) during pregnancy without any clinical seizures. A male baby with physical malformation was delivered on week 39. The malformation is extradigit(polydactily) on X-ray of right foot and left mild hydronephrosis on ultrasonography and renal scan with radioactive material. We reported this rare case and reviewed related articles about teratogenic effect of carbamazepine, mechanism of action and prevention of teratogenesis.
In order to elucidate the mechanism of toxic action of a pisonous mushroom, Amanita pantherina, biochemical effects of the mushroom extracts on mice were studied. A hotwater extract of Amanita pantherina injected intraperitoneally into male ICR mice evoked signs similar to those observed clinically upon acute poisoning by the mushroom and also changed the levels of component enzyme activities in blood, liver and urine. The serum cholinesterase activity was decreased significantly during 1-3 h after injection.

Objectives : Cheonggukjang(natto) is known to have anti-hyperlipidemic action in our previous study. This study was designed to investigate the safety of Prototype-cheonggukjang (PC, Herbal-natto). Methods : We investigated the effects of PC on changes in body weights, food uptake, water uptake, levels of AST/ALT, levels of BUN/creatinine and electrolytes in serum from normal mice. PC is made by cheonggukjang added Codonopsis Lanceolata, Houttuynia cordata and Lentinus edodes in indicated concetrations. Results : In this experiment, PC group showed equal levels of body weights, urine volume compared to non-treated control group. Oral administration of PC did not affect food and water uptake too. Levels of AST/ALT, which are markers of liver function, were not changed by administration of PC. In addition, levels of BUN/creatinine, which are markers of renal function, were not affected by PC too. Finally electrolytes in serum were not affected by PC. Conclusions : These results imply that oral administration of PC is safe in the framework of liver and renal function, and electrolytes in serum.
