`혈관병'이라 불리는 당뇨병은 고혈당으로 인해 혈관이 손상되는 병이다. '합병증이 발생하는 원인에는 고혈압이나 고지혈증 등과 같은 위험요소들도 영향을 끼치지만 많은 부분이 고혈당에 의해 유발한다. 고혈당이 무서운 이유는 혈당이 높아져도 뚜렷한 증상이 없다는 것이다. 고혈당의 심각성과 혈당조절의 중요성에 대해 알아보자.

임신 시에는 태아에게 영양소인 당분을 지속적으로 공급해 주기 때문에 대체로 고혈당을 유지하는 경향으로 신체가 변화된다. 이러한 고혈당이 병적으로 일정 수준을 넘어서면 임신성 당뇨병으로 진단하여 관리 및 치료를 필요로 하게 된다.

당뇨병환자의 식후 고혈당을 조절하고자 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 약제가 "알파글루코시다제 억제제"라는 당분 흡수 억제제이다. 이는 복합탄수화물의 흡수를 지연시켜서 식후 고혈당의 폭을 감소시킨다.

Unique cartilage matrix-associated protein (UCMA) is an extrahepatic vitamin K-dependent protein rich in γ-carboxylated (Gla) residues. UCMA has been recognized for its ability to promote osteoblast differentiation and enhance bone formation; however, its impact on osteoblasts under hyperglycemic stress remains unknown. In this paper, we investigated the effect of UCMA on MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells under hyperglycemic conditions. After exposure to high glucose, the MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with recombinant UCMA proteins. CellROX and MitoSOX staining showed that the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which initially increased under high-glucose conditions in MC3T3-E1 cells, decreased after UCMA treatment. Additionally, quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed increased expression of antioxidant genes, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and superoxide dismutase 1, in the MC3T3-E1 cells exposed to both high glucose and UCMA. UCMA treatment downregulated the expression of heme oxygenase-1, which reduced its translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus. Moreover, the expression of dynamin-related protein 1, a mitochondrial fission marker, was upregulated, and AKT signaling was inhibited after UCMA treatment. Overall, UCMA appears to mitigate ROS production, increase antioxidant gene expression, impact mitochondrial dynamics, and modulate AKT signaling in osteoblasts exposed to high-glucose conditions. This study advances our understanding of the cellular mechanism of UCMA and suggests its potential use as a novel therapeutic agent for bone complications related to metabolic disorders.

고혈당이 있으면서 당 부하검사에 이상소견을 보이며 혈청 콜레테롤이 상승되어 있으면 일단 당뇨병의 조절이 잘 되고 있지 않거나 당뇨병성 혈관 장애를 합병하고 있는지 고려해 보아야 한다.

Dengue fever (DF) is endemic throughout tropical and subtropical regions; however, it is not endemic in Korea. Imported infectious diseases should be suspected when encountering returned travelers with non-specific symptoms such as fever, rash, and headache. Persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, hemorrhagic tendency, hepatic enzyme abnormalities, and proteinuria are risk factors for the development of severe DF in a patient with DF. Severe hyperglycemia is also known to be related to poor prognosis in acute illness, and with certain underlying diseases that present with hyperglycemia, such as diabetes, it is related to the progression of severe DF. We report a DF case with severe hyperglycemia in an adolescent returning from India. Pediatric DF cases reported in Korea were also reviewed.

The anti-inflammatory activity of onion juices prepared from sulfur-fertilized onions was investigated by measuring the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines from human monocytes cultured under hyperglycemic condition. Human monocytic (THP-1) cells were cultured under normoglycemic (NG, 5.5 mM glucose) or hyperglycemic (HG, 25 mM glucose) conditions, with or without onion juice. Without onion juice, cell viability decreased significantly in the HG state for 48 h, compared to that in the NG state. With onion juice ($50-150{\mu}L$) treatment, the cell viability was not different from that under the NG condition, suggesting that onion juice prevented HG-induced monocytes cytotoxicity. While the HG condition in vitro significantly induced TNF-${\alpha}$ release from THP-1 cells and its gene expression, onion juice ($50{\mu}L$) significantly suppressed them. This indicates that onion juice inhibited HG-induced cytokine production in monocytes. These results suggest that onion juice from sulfur-fertilized onions can be used for the prevention of diabetes and related diseases.
