4.Studies on Platelet Aggregability in Thrombotic Disease and Hypercholesterolemia and Effects of Aspirin and Dipyridamole.
Korean Circulation Journal 1985;15(3):421-440
Although platelet have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the thrombotic disease, the platelet aggregability was not well studied in Korea. Author measured platelet aggregability in 103 clinical cases including 30 healthy volunteers to evaluate the platelet function and the effect of Aspirin and Dipyridamole on aggregability in Korean. 24 patients with cerebral thrombosis, 24 patients with ischemic heart disease and 25 patients with hypercholesterolemia were included for this study. Aggregation tests were performed at three final concentrations of epinephrine(10microM/L) and ADP(4 microM/L, 10 microM/L) with platelet aggregometer which was made by Chrono-Log Corp. in all cases. Platelet aggregations were measured in patients who were treated with Aspirin, Dipyridamole and combined treatment of Aspirin and Dipyridamole respectively. The following results were obtained. 1) The mean maximal platelet aggregability in the normal subjects induced by 10 microM/L epinephrine was 59.3+/-24.26%, 66.6+/-14.00% in Bm and 62.5+/-19.30% in B5 in induction by 4 microM/L ADP, and 77.2+/-8.99% in Bm and 76.6+/-9.83% in B5 in induction by 10microM/L ADP. 2) The mean maximal platelet aggregability in patients with cerebral thrombosis induced by 10 microM/L epinephrine was 89.2+/-7.33%, 78.8+/-9.41% in Bm and 78.5+/-9.93% in B5 in induction by 4 microM/L ADP, and 86.4+/-7.69% in Bm and B5 in induction by 10 microM/L ADP. The results showed significantly elevated platelet aggergability than that of normal subjects(p<0.01). 3) The mean maximal platelet aggregability in patients with ischemic heart disease induced by 10 microM/L epinephrine was 88.1+/-11.99%, 78.2+/-12.50% in Bm and B5 in induction by 10 microM/L ADP. The results showed significantly elevated platelet aggregability than that of normal subjects(P<0.01). 4) The mean maximal platelet aggregability in patients with hypercholesterolemia induced by 10 microM/L epinephrine was 86.8+/-15.99%, 82.7+/-11.19% in Bm and 82.0+/-12.87% in B5 in induction by 4 microM/L ADP, and 88.5+/-11.47% in Bm and B5 in induction by 10 microM/L ADP. The results showed signifcantly elevated platelet aggregability than that of normal subjects(P<0.01). 5) The mean maximal platelet aggregability in patients with thrombotic disease was studied by Dipyridamole administration. The platelet aggregability induced by epinephrine before administration was 90.9+/- 8.52% and after administration it was 78.9+/-15.68%, and the results showed that Dipyidamole lowered aggregability significantly. The platelet aggregability induced by 4 microM/L ADP before administration was 84.0+/-11.90% in Bm and B5 and after administration it was 78.0+/-11.44% in Bm and B5, and the results showed that Dipyridamole lowered aggregability but not significant. The platelet aggregability induced by 10 microM/L ADP before administration was 89.2+/-10.39% in Bm and B5 and after administration it was 80.5+/-8.44% in Bm and B5, and the results showed that Dipyridamole lowered aggregability significantly. 6) The mean maximal platelet aggregability in patients with thrombotic disease was studied by Aspirin administration. The platelet aggregability induced by epinephrine before administration was 91.0+/-4.79% and after administration it was 47.6+/-17.72%. The platelet aggregability induced by 4 microM/L ADP before administration was 84.6+/-10.37% in Bm and B5 and after administration it was 72.6+/-11.85% in Bm and 65.3+/-15.97% in B5. The platelet aggregability induced by 10 microM/L ADP before administration was 84.9+/-6.30% in Bm and B5 and after adminstration it was 77.7+/-8.60% in Bm and 75.0+/-8.89%. The results showed that Aspirin lowered aggregability markedly. 7) The mean maximal platelet aggregability in patients with thrombotic disease was studied by combined administration of Aspirin and Dipyridamole. The platelet aggregability induced by epinephrine before administration was 86.7+/-13.77% and after administration it was 36.7+/-14.01%. The platelet aggregability induced by 4 microM/L ADP before administration was 81.5+/-12.93% in Bm and 80.6+/-14.15% in B5 amd after administration it was 54.7+/-17.27% in Bm and 44.6+/-21.17% in B5. The platelet aggregability induced by 10 microM/L ADP before administration was 87.8+/-10.11% in Bm and B5 and after administration it was 65.7+/-13.59% in Bm and 62.0+/-16.42% in B5. The results showed that combined administration of Aspirin and Dipyridamole lowered aggregability significantly and the results were lower than that of normal subjects. 8) The effects of combined treatment of Aspirin and Dipyridamole showed marked reduction of platelet aggregability than that of single treatment of Aspirin or Dipyridamole in thrombotic disease.

6.Penile erection evoked by autonomic nerve stimulation in rats.
Korean Journal of Urology 1991;32(3):365-370
To investigate role of autonomic nerves on penile erection and to further characterize the laboratory rat as animal model of penile erection, this experiment was performed by means of monitoring intracavernosal pressure following nerve stimulation in 46 rats. The results obtained were summarized as follows: Increased intracavernosal pressure as well as erection was observed following electrical stimulation( 1-10 volt, 0.5-5 Hz) on each autonomic nerve, although the hypogastric nerve required higher intensity of electrical stimuli than the parasympathetic nerve (pelvic or cavervnous nerve) to induce erectile response. Combined stimulation of the pelvic nerve and the hypogastric nerve resulted in synergistic increase of intracavernosal pressure. These results indicate the hypogastric nerve may have a potential role in mediation of penile tumescence as the parasympathetic(pelvic or cavernous) nerve and that this rat model would contribute to the further study of penile erection.

Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly of the urogenital organ originating from the venous maldevelopment. To our knowledge, retrocaval ureter with contralateral renal agenesis has not been reported in Korea. Recently, we experienced a case of retrocaval ureter with contralateral renal agenesis, and obtained a good result following ureteral resection with end-to-end anastomosis of the ureter.

Nitric oxide(NO) is known to act as an important neural mediator of penile erection. Nitric oxide synthase(NOS), which produces NO, has been recently identified in autonomic neurons supplying genitourinary organs including penis. The present study was undertaken to investigate the role played by NO in erectile physiology by correlating its action with the existence and activity of NOS. Initial experiments were performed to elucidate NOS expression in the human and rat penis. Western blotting analysis identified a protein of 155KDa molecular weight identical to neural form of NOS. The NOS blot density in the human and rat penis was similar each other, which was lower than that in the cerebellum. Additional studies of NOS using assay of NADPH diaphorase activity and nitrite measurement were performed in various organs of the rat. NOS activity regionally predominated in the cerebellum, urethra, penis, and urinary bladder in the order Subsequent investigations focused on the physiologic role of NO, which was determined using an in vivo electroerection model in the rat. ntracavernous injections of NOS inhibitor (L-NOARG or L-NAME from 0.000001M to 0.001M) were found to suppress the nerve-induced erection in concentration dependent manner. Subsequent intracavernous injection of L-arginine(0.01M) partially restored penile erection suppressed by L-NOARG or L-NAME(0.001M). These results indicate that the neural form of constitutive NOS in the corpora cavernosa of the penis synthesizes NO by its catalytic action, which mediates penile erection. Furthermore, determination of cavernosal NOS expression and/or activity may allow to characterize certain pathological conditions which cause neurogenic impotence.
