배경: 심장 수술과 관련된 혈관확장성 쇼크는 주로 체외순환 후 바소프레신의 결핍이나 패혈증으로 발생하며, 흔히 사용하는 심근수축제에 잘 반응하지 않는 경우가 많다. 성인에서는 바소프레신의 투여가 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있으나 선천성 심장병 수술을 받은 환자에서 이에 대한 경험이 제한되어 본원의 경험을 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 2월부터 8월까지 선천성 심장병으로 수술후 일반 심근수축제에 반응하지 않는 혈관확장성 쇼크가 발생한 6명에게 바소프레신을 투여하였다. 수술 당시 연령은 생후 2∼41일(중앙값 25일)이었고, 수술 시 체중은 900∼3,530 gm (중앙값 2,870 gm)이었다. 수술 전 진단명은 좌심형성부전증후군 1예, 대동맥 축착증과 심한 승모판막역류을 동반한 완전방실중격결손 l예, 완전대혈관전위증 2예, 활로씨형 양대혈관우심기시증 1예, 총폐정맥환류이상 1예였다. 완전교정술과 고식적 수술이 각각 3명에서 시행되었다. 결과: 일반 심근수축제에 반응하지 않는 저혈압은 대부분의 환자에서 수술 후 24시간 이내에 발생하여 바소프레신의 투여가 필요하였고, 이후 패혈증 쇼크로 바소프레신의 추가 투여가 필요하였다. 바소프레신 투여양은 0.0002∼0.008 unit/kg/min이었고, 총 투여 시간은 26∼140시간(중앙값 59시간)이었다. 바소프레신 투여 직전, 투여 1시간 ,6시간째 수축기 혈압은 각각 42.7$\pm$7.4 mmHg, 53.7$\pm$11.4 mmHg, 56.3$\pm$13.4 mmHg로 의미 있는 혈압 상승이 관찰되었다(투여 직전과 비교하여 투여 1시간 ,6시간 모두 p=0.042). 바소프레신 투여 전과 투여 6시간, 12시간 후의 inotropic index 는 각각 32.3$\pm$7.2 와 21.0$\pm$8.4, 21.2$\pm$8.9)로 바소프레신 투여 전과 비교하여 투여 후 6시간과 12시간 모두 의미 있게 inotropic index의 감소를 보였다(투여 직전과 비교하여 투여 6시간, 12시간 모두 p=0.027). 바소프레신 투여 후 전신 순환의 감소와 관련된 대사성 산증의 악화나 소변량 감소 등의 소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: 선천성 심장병으로 수술받은 환자, 특히 신생아에서 수술 직후 심한 심실 기능 저하의 소견이 없는데도 불구하고 일반 심근수축제에 반응을 하지 않는 심한 저혈압이 발생한 경우, 이로 인한 말단 장기의 비가역적 손상이 발생하기 전 가능한 한 빨리 바소프레신을 정맥 투여함으로써 혈압 상승뿐만 아니라 기존 심근수축제의 사용량을 줄여 이와 관련된 합병증을 감소시킬 수 있어, 바소프레신의 투여는 수술 직후 불안정한 시기에 사용할 수 있는 중요한 치료법의 하나로 생각된다.

마취가토에서 혈압유지에 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 교감신경계, renin-angiotensin계, vasopressin계를 차단하였을때의 혈압자체의 변동과 norepinephrine (NE), angiotensin II (AII) 및 vasopressin (VP)의 승압효과의 변동을 조사하였다. 교감신경계와 renin-angiotensin계의 차단에는 각각 교감신경절 차단약인 chlorisondamine (CS)과 pirenzepine (PZ), angiotensin 변환효소억제약인 enalapril (ENAL)를 사용하였다. VP계의 차단에는 혈장 VP농도를 하강시킴이 알려져 있는 kappa opioid 수용체의 작용약인 bremazocine (BREM)을 사용하였다. CS (0.4mg/kg), ENAL (2mg/kg), BREM (0.25mg/kg)은 각각 비슷한 정도의 저혈압상태를 일으켰다. BREM에 의한 저혈압은 VP와 같은 효과를 가진 합성약인 desmopressin으로 유의하게 길항되었으며 BREM에 의한 저혈압이 적어도 일부 혈장 VP농도의 하강과 관계있음을 시사하였다. CS는 ENAL 또는 BREM으로 하강된 혈압을, ENAL은 CS 또는 BREM으로 하강된 혈압을, BREM은 CS 또는 ENAL로 하강된 혈압을, 더욱 하강시켰다. CS, PZ 그리고 ENAL 또는 CS, PZ 그리고 BREM에 의한 저혈압은 CS이외의 세약물에 의한 저혈압보다 심하였다. CS는 NE에 의한 승압효과 뿐만아니라 AII와 VP의 승압효과도 강화시켰다. AII의 승압효과는 또 ENAL과 BREM으로도 증대되었다. VP의 승압효과는 BREM으로도 강화되었다. ${\alpha}$-수용체의 길항약인 phentolamine과 phenoxybenzamine은 AII와 VP승압효과를 강화시켰다. 3승압계 차단이 혈압자체에 미치는 실험결과는 3계가 모두 혈압조절에 관여하고 그 중에서도 교감신경계가 가장 큰 역할을 하고 있음을 가리키고 있다. 한 승압계의 차단하에서, 그 계의 승압 hormone 뿐만아니라 다른 계의 승압 hormone의 승압효과도 증대됨은 이 3승압계가 긴밀한 상호작용을 하고 있는 증거이다.

LBD-001, a recombinant human interferon $\gamma$ produced by genetically engineered yeast as a host system, was intravenously administered to pregnant female rats (Sprague-Dawley) from day 17 of gestation to day 21 of lactation at dose levels.of $0.35 \times 10^6$, $0.69 \times 10^6$, and $1.38 \times 10^6$ I.U./kg/day. In vasopressin-treated group, vasopressin (5 I.U./kg/day) was intravenously injected only for 5 days of perinatal period. (1) No signicant changes by the treatment of LBD-001 were observed in the body weights, food and water consumption, feeding and nurshing behaviors, and the weights of main organs of mother rats. In vasopressin-treated group, no significant changes were observed except the decrease in the food consumption on day 18 of gestation and one case of abnormal offspring with bleeding spots on the skin. (2) No significant changes in the body weights, survival rates, locomotor activity, emotional development. and the motor coordination of offsprings (F1) by the treatment of LBD-001 were observed except the fact that increase of ambulation in the female offsprings of LBD-001 ($0.69 \times 10^6$ or $1.38 \times 10^6$ I.U./kg/day)-treated groups and the increase of rearing in the males of LBD-($1.38 \times 10^6$ I.U./kg/day)-treated group, and the increase of the weight of liver and ovaries in the female offsprings in the LBD-001 ($1.38 \times 10^6$ I.U./kg/day)-treated group were observed. Altogether, the results show that LBD-001 at the dose of $1.38 \times 10^6$ I.U./kg/day or less does not significantly affect the mother rats and their offsprings (F1) except the minor influences when treated during the perinatal and postnatal period.

In previous reports, pVPSV.IGR2.1 transgenic mouse were described that brain tumor and lymphoma by reason of Vasopressin-SV40 T antigen. In this study, we produced pVPSV.IGR3.6 transgenic mouse that used pVPSV.IGR3.6 vector. Expression of transgene was vary different in transgenic mouse. We obtained 6 transgenic mouse line, moreover they had died at the age of 2~6 weeks without transmitting the transgene to their offspring, and had tumorigenesis on same location with pVPSV.IGR2.1 transgenic mouse. Only a founder mouse was investigated for expression of fusion gene. Here we extended this transgenic approach to the study of tumor progression. From the mouse, we confirmed brain tumor cell, after then cultured for investigate characterization. In this report, we demonstrate that reduction of survival rate in transgenic mouse fused vasopressin gene length, acquisition of brain tumor cell, composition with astrocyte cells and neuronal cells. Finally, cells had no change with increase of passage.

There have been reports on the aberration of the control mechanisms of the blood pressure, hormone secretion, and renal functions in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). However, the contribution of the renin-angiotensin system in the maintenance of high blood pressure in SHR is still controversial. Recently, it has been reported that the negative feedback short loop control mechanism of the renin-angiotensin system may be changed in SHR. In the present experiment, it was attempted to explore the possible alterations in the effect of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on the renal function in SHR. Experiments have been done in anesthetized SHR as well as in normotensive Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats as control groups. Pharmacologic doses of AVP (10-13 mU/rat/10 min) decreased urine volume, excreted amount of creatinine and para-amino-hippuric acid. No differences in these parameters was observed between normotensive and hypertensive rats. AVP increased sodium and potassium excretion, but the responses in SHR were suppressed as compared with normotensive rats. Intravenous infusion of AVP also increased blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive rats and a vasopressor effect of AVP was attenuated in SHR. There was a positive correlation between the changes in blood pressure and excreted amount of sodium during AVP infusion. These data suggest that the attenuated natriuretic effect of intravenous infusion of AVP may be due to a difference in renal tubular responsiveness to AVP but not due to a difference in vasopressor responsiveness.

Enhanced activity of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system has been suggested as a cause of the high blood pressure in certain forms of experimental hypertension. In spontaneously hypertensive rats, however, increased activity of the system has not been found, and even suppressed renin angiotensin system has been reported in the spontaneously hypertensive rat. In the present experiments it was attempted to explore the possible alteration of the short loop negative feedback control in the hypertensive rat. Experiments have been done in the anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR) as well as in normotensive Wistar and Sprague Dawley rats as control. Responses of the plasma renin activity to the intravenous L-isoproterenol were dose dependent, in both SHR and normotensive control rats. Hypotensive responses to smaller do sea of L-isoproterenol were more accentuated in SHR than in the normotensive control rats. Angiotensin If given intravenously suppressed plasma renin activity in a dose dependent fashion in both groups. However, these suppressive responses were significantly attenuated in SHR as compared with the normotensive control rats. Treatment with angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitor did not correct the attenuated responses of the plasma renin activity to angiotensin II in SHR. Intravenous infusion of arginine vasopressin also produced a dose-dependent suppression of plasma renin activity in both groups. The responses to arginine vasopressin were also significantly attenuated to the normotensive control rats. In the sodium-depleted SHR, arginine vasopressin did not suppress plasma renin activity, whereas the suppressive responses to arginine vasopressin in the normotensive control rats were not different from the untreated control rats. These data suggest that there may be a derangement in the short loop negative feedback control of the renin-angiotensin system in spontaneously hypertensive rat.

Appropriate control of diet and water intake is important for maintaining normal blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte homeostasis in the body. It is relatively understood that the amount of sodium and potassium intake directly affects blood pressure and regulates ion transporters; Na and K channel functions in the kidney. However, little is known about whether diet and water intake regulates Aquaporin (AQP) function. AQPs, a family of aquaporin proteins with different types being expressed in different tissues, are important for water absorption by the cell. Water reabsorption is a passive process driven by osmotic gradient and water permeability is critical for this process. In most of the nephron, however, water reabsorption is unregulated and coupled to solute reabsorption, such as AQP1 mediated water absorption in the proximal tubule. AQP2 is the only water channel founded so far that can be regulated by hormones in the kidney. AQP2 expressed in the apical membrane of the principal cells in the collecting tubule can be regulated by vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) controlling the final volume of urine excretion. When vasopressin binds to its receptor on the collecting duct cells, it stimulates the translocation of AQP2 to the membrane, leading to increased water absorption via this AQP2 water channel. However, some studies also indicated that the AQP2 is also been regulated by vasopressin independent mechanism. This review is focused on the regulation of AQP2 by diet and the amount of water intake on salt and water homeostasis.

The neuropeptide vasopressin (VP) is a nine- amino acid hormone synthesized as preprohormone in the cell bodies of hypothalamic magnocellular neurons. The tumor in magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamus is associated with disfunctions of the cell bodies, leading to the diabetes insipidus. In order to produce the disease models with a defect in VP synthesis and its secretion, we have produced the transgenic mice regulated by VP constructs containing 3.8 kbp of the 5'flanking region and all the exons and introns in the mouse VP gene, which was fused at the end of exon 3 to a SV40 Tag. The two VP-transgene constructs differed by the lengths of their VP gene 3' flanking regions (2.1 versus 3.6 kbp). (omitted)

${\alpha},\;{\beta}-Adrenergics$, and calcium channels were known to be related to inducing cardiac hypertrophy. Recently, it was reported that the cardiac renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was an important factor in ventricular hypertrophy. The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of ${\alpha},\;{\beta}-adrenergic$, and calcium channel blockers that might be involved in the regulation of cardiac RAS. The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of renin gene in the perfused rat heart. Changes in angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity and cyclic AMP (cAMP) content which were thought to play a role in inducing cardiac hypertrophy were measured in the perfused rat heart. The expression of renin gene was not only increased by isoproterenol with metoprolol-pretreatment but also increased by vasopressin treatment in the presence of calcium channel blocker, nifedipine or verapamil. Either prazosin alone or norepinephrine with prazosin-pretreatment significantly increased the ACE activity. However, isoproterenol with metoprolol-pretreatment significantly decreased the ACE activity. On the other hand, the ACE activity was not changed by vasopressin, nifedipine, or verapamil treatments. The content of cAMP was significantly increased by either isoproterenol or vasopressin treatment. According to these results, renin gene expression was associated with ${\beta}2$ - adrenoceptor and calcium channel. ACE activity was associated with ${\alpha}-\;and{\beta}2$ - adrenoceptor. In conclusion, ${\beta}2$ - adrenoceptor was important in cardiac renin gene expression and ACE activity and ${\alpha},\;{\beta}$ -adrenergic, and calcium channel blockers might be involved in the regulation of cardiac RAS in a complicated way.
