Abstract

Joseph Jacob Plenck (1735-1807) is considered to be the forerunner of modern European dermatology, who also compiled a list of about 800 plants with medicinal uses. Of these about 115 have diuretic properties and are currently included in various pharmacopeias. They were traditionally used to cure ascites of various causes, in urolithiasis, nephritis, cystitis, bladder ulcers, strangury, urinary retention and incontinence. Few of these plants have been fully investigated by modern medicinal chemists, and many are worthy of further study.

Abstract

The medical history of salt begins in ancient times and is closely related to different aspects of human history. Salt may be extracted from sea water, mineral deposits, surface encrustations, saline lakes and brine springs. In many inland areas, wood was used as a fuel source for evaporation of brine and this practice led to major deafforestation in central Europe. Salt played a central role in the economies of many regions, and is often reflected in place names. Salt was also used as a basis for population censuses and taxation, and salt monopolies were practised in many states. Salt was sometimes implicated in the outbreak of conflict, e.g. the French Revolution and the Indian War of Independence. Salt has also been invested with many cultural and religious meanings, from the ancient Egyptians to the Middle Ages. Man's innate appetite for salt may be related to his evolution from predominantly vegetarian anthropoids, and it is noteworthy that those people who live mainly on protein and milk or who drink salty water do not generally salt their food, whereas those who live mainly on vegetables, rice and cereals use much more salt. Medicinal use tended to emphasize the positive aspects of salt, e.g. prevention of putrefaction, reduction of tissue swelling, treatment of diarrhea. Evidence was also available to ancient peoples of its relationship to fertility, particularly in domestic animals. The history of salt thus represents a unique example for studying the impact of a widely used dietary substance on different important aspects of man's life, including medical philosophy.

Abstract

The organometal cisplatin has potent antitumor properties. However, its use is sometimes complicated by significant nephrotoxicity. This is characterized by tubular necrosis and impairment of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). On the other hand, it has been demonstrated that atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) increases GFR in normal euvolemic rats. In the present study, we have therefore tested if this new potent natriuretic compound could restore some of the renal parameters affected by cisplatin. To investigate this issue, acute renal failure was induced in 9 rats by intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin 10 mg/kg body weight (b.w.). Renal function was studied 72 h later using the 3H-inulin clearance method and was compared with the renal function of 5 normal euvolemic rats. The cisplatin-treated rats showed high blood urea nitrogen levels, a 74% reduction of whole kidney GFR (0.308 +/- 0.047 vs. 1.17 +/- 0.08 ml/min/100 g b.w.) and a significant increase in the fractional excretion of urine, sodium and potassium. After 2 control clearances, synthetic ANF was administered intravenously as a prime (12 micrograms/kg b.w.) and then as a constant infusion (1 microgram/kg/min) to 6 cisplatin-treated rats. This promptly doubled the GFR (0.603 +/- 0.113 ml/min/100 g b.w.) and induced a significant increase in the excretion rate of urine, sodium and potassium. These results demonstrate that the administration of ANF has a beneficial effect on the experimental model of acute renal failure induced by cisplatin.
