4.Effects of Unilateral Sciatic Nerve Injury on Unaffected Hindlimb Muscles of Rats.
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2009;39(3):393-400
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of unilateral sciatic nerve injury on unaffected hindlimb muscles of rats. METHODS: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of three groups: control (C) group (n=10) that had no procedures, sham (S) group (n=10) that underwent sham left sciatic nerve transection, and sciatic nerve transection (SNT) group (n=9) that underwent left sciatic nerve transection. At 15 days rats were anesthetized, and the soleus, plantaris and gastrocnemius muscles were dissected. RESULTS: Muscle weight of the unaffected plantaris muscle in the SNT group was significantly lower than in the other two groups. Type II fiber cross-sectional areas of the unaffected plantaris and gastrocnemius muscles in the SNT group were significantly smaller than in the other two groups. The decrease of muscle weights and Type I, II fiber cross-sectional areas of the unaffected three muscles in the SNT group were significantly less than that of the affected three muscles. CONCLUSION: Hindlimb muscle atrophy occurs in the unaffected side after unilateral sciatic nerve injury, with changes in the plantaris and gastrocnemius muscle being more apparent than changes in the soleus muscle. These results have implications for nursing care, in the need to assess degree of muscle atrophy in unaffected muscles as well as affected muscles.

5.Effects of Antioxidant on Reduction of Hindlimb Muscle Atrophy Induced by Cisplatin in Rats.
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2014;44(4):371-380
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Cu/Zn SOD on reduction of hindlimb muscular atrophy induced by cisplatin in rats. METHODS: Forty-two rats were assigned to three groups; control group, Cisplatin (CDDP) group and cisplatin with Cu/Zn SOD (CDDP-SOD) group. At day 35 hindlimb muscles were dissected. Food intake, activity, withdrawal threshold, muscle weight, and Type I, II fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) of dissected muscles were measured. Relative SOD activity and expression of MHC and phosphorylated Akt, ERK were measured after dissection. RESULTS: Muscle weight and Type I, II fiber CSA of hindlimb muscles in the CDDP group were significantly less than the control group. Muscle weight and Type I, II fiber CSA of hindlimb muscles, food intake, activity, and withdrawal thresholds of the CDDP-SOD group were significantly greater than the CDDP group. There were no significant differences in relative SOD activities of hindlimb muscles between the CDDP-SOD and CDDP groups. MHC expression and phosphorylated Akt, ERK of hindlimb muscles in the CDDP-SOD group were significantly greater than the CDDP group. CONCLUSION: Cu/Zn SOD attenuates hindlimb muscular atrophy induced by cisplatin through increased food intake and activity. Increment of phosphorylated Akt, ERK may relate to attenuation of hindlimb muscular atrophy.

Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2008;51(8):685-691
The first deceased donor organ (kidney) recovery and transplantation was performed in 1979. Since February 2000, deceased donor organ recovery and allocation have been performed exclusively by the direction of the Korean Network for Organ Sharing (KONOS), the governmental authority for organ transplantation in Korea. Herein, we review the annual incidence of deceased donor occurrence, transplantation statistics, and organ allocation status in the era of KONOS, and discuss about future directions for improved organ transplantation activities in Korea.

Lymphocytic hypophysitis is an autoimmune disorder of the pituitary gland which usually occurs in a woman in the postpartum period. Diabetes insipidus is not a major clinical feature of this disorder. We report a case of a 22-year-old man with lymphocytic hypophysitis which presented with diabetes insipidus and also involved his cavernous sinus. This represents the seventh reported and the youngest case of a man with lymphocytic hypophysitis. A comparative study of all six male patients is also presented. We suggest diabetes insipidus should be added to the spectrum of clinical manifestations of this disorder.

Acute rejection after renal transplantation is still the most common cause of graft failure during the early post-transplant period. To determine whether an acute rejection episode adversely affects long-term graft survival, we retrospectively analyzed our single center patients population of 1266 consecutive living donor kidney transplantations performed between April 1984 and October 1995. Five hundred twenty three recipients(41.3%) experienced 711 acute rejection episodes. Among these 711 episodes, 92.6% were respond to anti-rejection therapy and treatment failure rate was 7.6%. Late onset acute rejection, which developed 1 year after transplantation, showed poor treatment response(79.7%). There was statistically significant difference of graft survival rate between acute rejection free group and acute rejection group. Furthermore, the frequency of acute rejection, response rate the steroid pulse therapy and the degree of remission affected the graft survival rate. Donor source impacted on the development of acute rejection-33.1% in living related donor, 39.9% in living unrelated donor and 57.1% in cadaveric donor transplantation. In living related donor kidney transplantations, HLA identical pairs(11%) showed less acute rejection episodes than HLA haplo-identical pairs(38.7%). In living unrelated donor kidney transplantations, HLA antigen match adversely affected the acute rejection rate-43.9%, 35.8% and 30.6% in 1~2, 3 and 4~5 Ag match group, respectively. ABO blood group compatibility, recipient's age and compatibility of HLA DR Ag did not influenced to the development of acute rejection. These results suggest that the acute rejection could be a major determinant of long-term graft outcome.
