Toxic oxygen free radicals have been implicated as important pathologic mediators in many clinical disordesrs. Enhandng the intracellular content of antioxidant enzymes can provide means of limiting biological damage caused by oxygen free radicals. Many investigations have examined the potential of various oxyradical scavengers to modulate oxyradical injury. The oxygen free radicals play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. To investigate the pulmonary oxyradical injury and the protective role of antioxidant enzymes, author measured the amount of thiobarbituric acid reactants, the activiteies of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase) and the sulfhydryl groups in serum and red blood cells from the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease groups and the normal controls. The thiobarbituric acid reactant in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease groups was increased than the controls in both serum and red blood cells, and the superoxide dismutase activity in red blood cells was no statistically difference in both groups. But, the glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities were lowered in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease groups than the controls. The sulfhydryl groups in serum and red blood cells were no statistically difference in both groups. These results suggest that the increased thiobarbituric acid reactant in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease groups mean oxygen radical toxicity, and the decreased glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities may play a role in cellular injury.

저자들은 최근 아프리카를 여행하는 도중 말라리아의 예방약제인 chloroquine을 복용하였음에도 불구하고 용혈성 빈혈과 흑수열을 동반한 chloroquine 저항성 수입 열대열 말라리아를 Fansidar를 투여하여 치료가 된 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. This previously healthy 26 year-old student was admitted to Cho Sun university hospital due to paroxysmal high fever, dizziness of 2 weeks duration and he also noted passage of dark brownish colored urine of 3 days duration. He had made journey to Africa for 2 months before admission. He had taken chloroquine 1 week before his jurney and continued this weekly throughout his stay. On admission, there was fever of 38.5℃ and numerous parasitemia of ring form of P. falciparum in the peripheral blood smear. On physical examination, he had jaundice and splenomgaly. On laboratory examination, he had jaundice and splenomegaly. On laboratory examination hemoglobin was 5.Og / dl, reticulocytecount was 11%, plasma hemoglobin was 7.5mg /dl and urine hemoglobin was 2.5mg /dl. He received Fansidar on 2nd day of admission. Five days later, his blood was completely clear of parasite and 7th day after admission, all symptoms were almost improved and then he was discharged.

Inspite of possible effects for emesis following chemotherapy including cisplatin, nausea and vomiting are the most unpleasant side effects of cancer chemotherapy. None of the currently available antiemetic agents is entirely effective preventing emesis. Ondansetron, a 5-HT(5-hydroxytryptamine)_(3) receptor antagonist, has been shown to be effective antiemetic agent in the control of cisplatin induced emesis. Twenty solid tumor patients who are scheduled to receive cisplatin containing combination chemotherapy participated in a prospectively randomized study to compare the antiemetic efficacy and safety of ondansetron and metoclopramide. Ondansetron was given in dose of 8mg intravenous 30min before cisplatin and then 4hours and 8hours after cisplatin on day 1, and Ⅰ.Ⅴ. every 8hours from day 2 to 5. In the metoclopramide group, metoclopramide was given in dose of 2 ㎎/㎏ intravenous every 8hours from day 1 to 5. The control of emesis was graded in the following way : complete response, no vomiting : major response, 1-2 emetic episodes : minor response, 3-5 emetic episodes : failure, above 5 emetic episodes. Complete or major response of emesis was achieved 10 of 12(83.2%) patients receiving ondansetron and in 5 of 8(62.5%) patients receiving metoclopramide, but effectiveness was not significantly different. Ondansetron was at least as effective as metoclopramide therapy in controlling cisplatin induced emesis. Side effects in ondansetron was less than in Metoclopramide.

Endothelin(ET) is a 21-residue peptide originally isolated from the cultured porcine endothelial cells. There are at least three genes for endothelin:endothelin-1(ET-1), endothelin-2(ET-2), and endothelin-3(ET-3). Endothelins are present in various human biological fluids including plasma, urine, breast milk, and saliva and have been found elevated plasma ET concentrations in patients with diabetes mellitus, Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis due to chronic renal failure, patients with acute myocardial infarction, and patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Endothelial cell damage is suspected to occur in diabetic patients and may be one important cause of angiopathy, a major complication in diabetes mellitus. The elevation of ET in diabetic patients may be a marker of, and further exacerbate, their vascular disease. We measured the levels of ET-1 in plasma of 50 patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus(NIDDM) and 25 normal subjects by radioimmunoassay. The plasma ET-1 concentration (mean±S.D.) in NIDDM was 6.461 A2.510 f㏖/ ㎖, and was significantly higher than in normal subjects (4.567±1.155f㏖/㎖) (P<0.05). The plasma ET-1 concentration (mean±S.D.) in diabetic retinopathy group( 7.15±2.454 f㏖/ml) was significantly elevated than those in otherwise uncomplicated groups (5.348±2.390 f㏖/㎖)(P<0.01). The correlation between any clinical parameters and plasma ET-1 levels in NIDDM was not significant, In conclusion, this study suggest that the elevated levels of ET-1 in diabetic patients may be play a important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications.

N/A Objectives: With advances in transcranial ultrasound technology, transcranial color-code Doppler ultrasonography provides the anatomical location of basal transcranial vessel and their blood flow. To study of changes of cerebral blood flow, we measured continuously the blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery by transcranial Doppler(2.5MHz) before and after sublingual administration of 0.6mg. nitroglycerin in twenty healthy young persons. Methods: Pulse rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure and velocity of percussion(P), tidal (T) and dicrotic(Dc) wave, and diastole(Ds), velocity time integral(VTI), mean velocity(V), pulsatility index(PI) were measured. Results: Heart rate was increased, and systolic blood pressure was decreased significantly two minutes after administration of nitroglycerin. Diameter of outer margin of color Doppler spectrum was increased, and P, T, Ds, VTI and V were decreased significantly after two minutes. PI was increased significantly after two minutes, but returned to baseline level soon. Conclusion: We concluded that dilatation and decreased blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery were resulted by nitroglycerin.
