BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) for energy are derived from total energy expenditure (TEE) measured using the doubly labelled water (DLW) method. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of DRI for predicting the energy requirements of elementary school-age children. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The present study involved 25 elementary school-age children aged between 9 and 11 years. TEE was assessed by the DLW method, and the results were compared with the TEE predicted by the DRI equations in order to evaluate accuracy. RESULTS: The subjects' TEE measured by the DLW method was $1,925.2{\pm}380.9kcal/day$ in boys and $1,930.0{\pm}279.4kcal/day$ in girls, whereas resting energy expenditure was $1,220.2{\pm}176.9kcal/day$ in boys and $1,245.9{\pm}171.3kcal/day$ for girls. The physical activity level was $1.58{\pm}0.20$ in boys and $1.55{\pm}0.13$ in girls. The mean bias between the predicted and measured TEE was 12.6% in boys and -1.6% in girls, and the percentage of accurate predictions was 28.6% and 63.6%, respectively. In boys, the equation resulted in underprediction of TEE among the subjects having low TEE values, whereas there was overprediction among subjects having high TEE values as shown by the Bland-Altman plot. On the contrary, this proportional bias was not observed in girls. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study suggest that the DRI equation for energy could result in the overestimation of energy requirements in elementary school-age boys. In the case of girls, the equations could be accurate at the group level. However, the DRI appears to be invalid for individual girls, as more than one third of girls had their TEE inaccurately predicted. We recommend more studies for confirmation of these results.

Purpose: A stability-measuring device that utilizes damping capacity analysis (DCA) has recently been introduced in the field of dental implantology. This study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and reliability of this device by measuring the implant stability of ex vivo samples in comparison with a resonance frequency analysis (RFA) device. Methods: Six implant beds were prepared in porcine ribs using 3 different drilling protocols to simulate various implant stability conditions. Thirty-six pork ribs and 216 bone-level implants measuring 10 mm in height were used. The implant beds were prepared using 1 of the following 3 drilling protocols: 10-mm drilling depth with a 3.5-mm-diameter twist drill, 5-mm drilling depth with a 4.0-mm-diameter twist drill, and 10-mm drilling depth with a 4.0-mm-diameter twist drill. The first 108 implants were external-connection implants 4.0 mm in diameter, while the other 108 implants were internal-connection implants 4.3 mm in diameter. The peak insertion torque (PIT) during implant placement, the stability values obtained with DCA and RFA devices after implant placement, and the peak removal torque (PRT) during implant removal were measured. Results: The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of the implant stability quotient (ISQ) results obtained using the RFA device at the medial, distal, ventral, and dorsal points were 0.997, 0.994, 0.994, and 0.998, respectively. The ICCs of the implant stability test (IST) results obtained using the DCA device at the corresponding locations were 0.972, 0.975, 0.974, and 0.976, respectively. Logarithmic relationships between PIT and IST, PIT and ISQ, PRT and IST, and PRT and ISQ were observed. The mean absolute difference between the ISQ and IST values on a Bland-Altman plot was -6.76 (-25.05 to 11.53, P<0.05). Conclusions: Within the limits of ex vivo studies, measurements made using the RFA and DCA devices were found to be correlated under a variety of stability conditions.

연구배경: 폐활량 검사는 간단하고 저렴한 폐질환의 선별 검사방법으로 흡연자나 호흡기 증상이 있는 환자에게 폐질환의 조기 발견을 위한 선별검사로 권고되고 있으며, 이에 따라 간단하고 저렴한 탁상용 폐활량 기기들이 공급되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 환기장애 소견을 보인 환자를 대상으로 탁상용 폐활량기와 병원 폐기능 검사실의 폐활량기의 폐활량 측정값을 비교 분석하여 그 일치도를 알아보고 이를 통해 탁상용 폐활량기의 임상환경에서의 정확성과 두 기기간의 임상적 상호 대체 허용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2006년 4월부터 2006년 9월까지 경희의료원 건강검진 센터에서 HI-801기로 폐활량검사를 시행한 사람들 중 환기장애 소견을 보인 환자를 대상으로 폐기능 검사실에서 Vmax spectra 22d 폐활량기로 재검사를 시행하였다. 결과: 총 109명의 환자가 참여하였으며, 이 중 남자가 70명(64.2%)이었다. HI-801 기와 Vmax spectra 22d기로 측정한 폐활량 값들은 각각 FVC($3.03{\pm}0.62$ vs. $3.38{\pm}0.67L$), $FEV_1$($2.44{\pm}0.57$ vs. $2.61{\pm}0.58L$), PEFR($5.83{\pm}2.01$ vs. $7.70{\pm}2.11L/s$), FET($5.12{\pm}1.71$ vs. $6.68{\pm}1.11sec$), $FEF_{25%-75%}$($2.61{\pm}1.09$ vs. $2.48{\pm}1.08L/s$)였다. 두 기기간의 FVC, $FEV_1$, PEFR, $FEF_{25%-75%}$ 측정값의 상관 계수는 각각 r= 0.93, 0.94, 0.81, 0.84였으며, FVC, $FEV_1$은 Bland and Altman plot에서 95% 신뢰구간의 일치도 제한에서 각각 4%, 5% 만이 ${\pm}1.96SD$ 밖에 위치하였다. 결론: 탁상용 폐활량기인 HI-801 기는 병원 폐기능 검사실 Vmax spectra 22d 기와의 비교에서 높은 상관관계와 좋은 일치도를 보여, 탁상용 HI-801 기의 정확성을 알 수 있었으며, HI-801로 측정한 FVC, $FEV_1$ 값은 Vmax spectra 22d 기의 측정값을 임상적으로 대체할 수 있음을 보여주었다.
