당뇨관리의 목적은 혈당 조절을 통해 급 만성 합병증을 예방하는 것이다. 엄격한 혈당조절에도 불구하고 많은 수의 당뇨인에게서 합병증이 나타나고 있다. 특히 동맥경화증의 위험인자인 고지혈증, 고혈압, 비만 등이 발생 빈도가 높아 이에 따른 올바른 식생활의 개선이 필요하다. 조금은 더 특별한 합병증이 있을 때의 식사관리에 대해 알아보자.

There are many methods for treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) and of these, epidural steroid or intralesional steroid injection is one of the most effective treatments. But there are some problems in the use of steroids. One of which is steroid-induced hyperglycemia. In that case, the treatment of PHN is very difficult and not so effective. So we used the low level laser therapy (LLLT), He-Ne and IR, for the treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia without any changes of blood glucose level. It seemed that LLLT was a very effective method for PHN without any systemic changes.

스멀스멀 아지랑이 피듯 나른한 오월, 몸이 피곤하고 의욕이 없는 증상은 누구나 한 번쯤 겪어 보았을 것이다. 일반적으로 과로에 의한 피로는 충분한 휴식과 영양을 공급해주면 회복된다. 그러나 휴식을 취해도 호전되지 않고 피로가 6개월 이상 지속된다면 '만성피로'로 의사의 진찰을 받아보아야 한다. 왜냐하면, 피로의 원인이 당뇨, 암, 갑상선질환, 고혈압, 우울증 등에 있을 수 있기 때문이다. 실제로 원인 모를 피곤함으로 병원을 찾은 환자 중 종종 당뇨 진단을 받기도 한다. 그러면 당뇨병환자는 왜 기력이 떨어지고 피곤해하는지 당뇨와 피로의 상관관계에 대해 알아보도록 하자.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a blood glucose control protocol for medical intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods: The blood glucose control protocol was developed through the following process: selection of preliminary protocols, clinical application, and evaluation. The clinical validity of the protocol was measured by application, along with examination of the effects of the Yale and the Mayo blood glucose protocols. Seventeen medical ICU adults patients whose blood glucose levels exceeded 200 mg/dL consecutively participated in the study. The development protocol was evaluated by an expert group. Results: Incidence of normal blood glucose levels (p=.041) increased significantly in the Yale protocol application group. Also, incidence of severe hyperglycemia (p=.029) decreased significantly and time to target range of glucose (p=.023) decreased significantly after application of the Yale protocol. However, there was no significant difference in incidence of hypoglycemia (p=.666) between three groups. Conclusion: Using the developed protocol as a basis for the modified Yale protocol was found to be effective in improving the state of blood glucose control for medical ICU patients and is expected to be used for nursing intervention in critical care.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of systemic chronic inflammatory state on dry eye syndrome as a local chronic inflammatory condition. From June 16, 2016 to December 31, 2016, 726 patients who visited the general health examination center were screened using the Schirmer's test and the metabolic syndrome screening test. A total of 214 patients who were studied for hs-CRP and HbA1c were simultaneously selected for the study as well. Dry eye syndrome significantly increased in higher age groups (p<0.001) and women (p=0.020); there was no significant relationship with fasting plasma glucose, hs-CRP. In addition, as HbA1c increased the risk for dry eye syndrome also increased (β=1.960, p=0.025). Therefore, dry eye syndrome may not caused by microvascular changes in the lacrimal gland due to chronic inflammatory conditions. In diabetic patients, long-term blood glucose control may be more important than short-term blood glucose control. The high prevalence of dry eye syndrome in diabetic patients is thought to be due to autonomic dysfunction rather than microvascular changes caused by chronic inflammation.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of mixed glucomannan(G) and wheycalcium(W) on the level of serum cholesterol in rats(Female Sprague-Dawley) fed high cholesterol diet($1.0\%$ : HCD) and also on the level of blood glucose in rats fed high glucose diet ($70\%$ : HGD) for 4 weeks. The results were follows as 1. The level of serum cholesterol were decreased in the rank order HCD>HCDG>HCDGW>ND, 2. HCDG showed a decrese of about $23.84\%$ but HCDGW showed a decrese of about $42.38\%$ compared with the increasing rate of HCD in serum cholesterol, 3. The level of blood glucose were decreased in the rank order HGD>HGDG>HGDGW>ND, 4. HGDG showed a decrese of about $6.63\%$ but HGDGW showed a decrese of about $36.14\%$ compared with the increasing rate of HGD in blood glucose, 5. The mixture of glucomannan and wheycalcium on the serum cholesterol and blood glucose in rats was most effect of all.

당뇨병 환자에서 고혈압의 빈도는 일반인에 비해 2배 이상 높고, 대개 환자의 약 40$\~$60$\%$에서 고혈압을 동반한다. 고혈압이 당뇨병과 같이 있는 경우는 대혈관 및 미세혈관 질환의 위험인자로서 작용하여 심장사, 관상동맥 질환, 울혈성 심부전, 뇌혈관질환, 그리고 말초혈관 질환의 발생 위험을 높여 당뇨병 환자 사망원인의 대부분을 차지하며, 고혈압이 동반되어 있지 않을 경우에는 장기생존률이 높다. 또한 당뇨병에서 확장기 및 수축기 혈압은 당뇨병성 신증과 망막증의 발생 및 경과 악화에도 영향을 미친다. 당뇨병에서 고혈압이 예후에 중대한 영향을 미치는 만큼, 고혈압을 동반한 당뇨병 환자에서, 혈당의 조절뿐 아니라 죽상경화증의 예방 및 고혈압의 치료가 당뇨병에 의한 혈관 합병증의 발생과 진행을 지연시키고 사망률을 감소시키는데 결정적이라 할 수 있다.

Citrin deficiency (OMIN #605814) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by the SLC25A13 gene mutation with abnormal biochemical findings, including increased serum ammonia, citrulline, arginine, galactose, serum threonine-to-serine ratio, serum pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor, and alpha-fetoprotein. Citrin deficiency can manifest in three ways: in newborns as neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD), in older children as failure to thrive and dyslipidemia caused by citrin deficiency (FTTDCD), and in adults as citrullinemia type 2 (CTLN2) with recurrent hyperammonemia and neuropsychiatric symptoms. We report a 35-day-old asymptomatic patient with citrin deficiency who had abnormal biochemical findings.

Rhabdomyolysis, the clinical syndrome caused by the injury to skeletal muscle resulting in the release of muscle cell contents into the systemic circulation, has been described in association with various factors. The causes include crush injury, skeletal muscle overuse, heat, drug, abuse of alcohols and metabolic disorders as well as several types of viral and bacterial infections. We report two cases of rhabdomyolysis, which were complicated by uncommon causes, parainfluenza virus type I infection and hypernatremia.

A 12-year-old castrated male miniature Schnauzer had anorexia, vomiting, lethargy, and fever for four days. The dog had leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, hypoglycemia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperbilirubinemia, increased hepatic enzymes on hematologic and biochemical examinations. On abdominal ultrasonographs, there was an enlarged gallbladder with hyperechoic irregular wall thickening. Echocardiography showed vegetative change and regurgitation of aortic and mitral valves. E.coli was identified through ultrasound guided percutaneous cholecystocentesis and bile culture. Bacterial cholecystitis and concurrent endocarditis were diagnosed. The dog was recovered from sepsis with antibacterial and aggressive supportive therapy.
