  • It has been suggested that isoflavones protect the cardiovascular system, in part by attenuating blood pressure. The purpose of the present research was to compare the isoflavone intake and blood lipids between hypertensive and normotensive and to examine dietary management for prevention of hypertension. Anthropometrical measurements, blood pressures, nutrients and isoflavone intakes using the 24-hour recall method, and serum lipids of 81 hypertensives and 77 normotensives were estimated. The average age, height, weight, and BMI were 58.2 years, l58.5 cm, 64.3 kg, and $25.6kg/m^2$ for the hypertensive and 58.0 years, 159.4 cm, 63.0 kg, and $24.8kg/m^2$ for the normotensive, respectively. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures of the hypertensive were significantly higher than those of the normotensive (p<0.001, p<0.001). The daily food intake of the hypertensive was significantly lower than that of the normotensive (p<0.01). The daily energy intakes of hypertensive and normotesive were 1479.8 kcal and 1590.9 kcal and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Carbohydrate intake of the hypertensive was significantly higher than that of the normotensive (p<0.05). However, daily intakes of plant protein, fiber, ash, calcium, sodium, potassium, and vitamin $B_1$ of the hypertensive were significantly lower than those of the normotensive (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05). The daily intakes of daidzein, genistein, isoflavone of the hypertensive were significantly lower than those of the normotensive (p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05). However, isoflavone intakes per 1000 kcal showed no significant difference between the two groups. Serum lipids of the hypertensive and normotensive were l89.6 mg/dL and l87.2 mg/dL for total cholesterol, 157.3 mg/dL and 161.9 mg/dL for triglyceride, 42.9 mg/dL and 43.5 mg/dL for HDL-cholesterol, 115.2 mg/dL and 111.4 mg/dL for LDL-cholesterol, and 3.5 and 3.4 for atherogenic index. In the total subjects, there was a significantly negative correlation between systolic blood pressure and genistein intake (p<0.05). Based on these results, we concluded that the daily intakes of food, energy, and isoflavones of hypertensives were lower than normotensives. Therefore, it should be emphasized that proper dietary management considering these dietary factors for prevention of hypertension.

  • The paper presents computational and flow visualization results on a centrifugal blood pump. 4 impeller designs were tested at a rotational speed of 2000 rpm using blood analog as working fluid. All impellers have seven blades but of different geometry (Impellers A3, A4, B2 and R7). Flow visualization within the impeller passages was conducted using an image de-rotation system. A pair of large scale vortices was found within the blades of impeller R7 while a single vortex was found in most of the passages of backward facing impellers (Impellers A3, A4 and B2). To establish the effects of blade geometry on blood cells, CFD was used to simulate the blade to blade flow to provide an estimate of the maximum shear stress. The results showed that though most of the stresses within the blade passages are below a threshold level of 150 N/m$^2$for extensive erythrocyte damage to occur, there are some regions near to the leading edge of the pressure side where the shear stresses a abode threshold level.

  • This study was performed from March to June 1994 in ANsung Medical Center. We investigated serum components of 78 diabetics in the center, in addition to the nutrient intake status and anthrophometric status of 60 diabetics among them. We separated the latter into 2 groups(ⅰ) less tan 5 years of diabetic duration and ⅱ) more than 6 years of diabetic duration) and analyzed the clinical characteristics of each group. The results are as follows : \circled1 The average ages of male and female subjects were 57.1 and 58.9 years, respectively. The average diabetic duration of male subjects was 4.8 years and that of female subjects was 5.9 . The major occupational field of both male and female subjects was agriculture(33.3%, 36.1%). 50% of male and 75% of female subject's monthly incomes were less than 600, 000 won and 75% of male and 94.4% of female subjects had weekly food expense less than 40, 000 won. The nutrient intake status of the subjects was lower than RDA on the whole. There was no big differences between 2 the male groups of different diabetic duration , but calorie, protein , fat carbohydrate, phosphorus, iron and Vit B$_1$intakes of the above 6 year female group were appearently higher than those of the under 5 year female group (p<0.05). There were different intake tendencies between male and female subjects . For females. the longer the diabetic duration, the less intakes of calorie, protein , fat carbohydrate, phosphorus, iron Vit B$_1$, Vit B$_2$, and niacin were observed. Furthermore, the longer the diabetic duration in females , the more intakes of energy and nutrients, except Vit C were observed. Fasting blood glucose levels were 155mg/dl and 164mg/dl and Postprandial glucose levels were 242mg/dl and 247mg/dl for males and females respectively. Hb of both males and females , and Ht of males met the lower limit of normal status, The serum TG level was higher than normal , so that they seemed to suffer from hyperlipidemia ; their high HbAIC status indicated that the management of diabetes mellitus was poor. The total protein level of female subject was higher when compared with that of males(p<0.05). All subjects blood pressure were higher than normal , and the longer the diabetic duration, the higher was the blood pressure. The serum HDL-cholesterol levels of the above 6 year group male subjects were lower(p<0.05) than those of the under 5 year male group subjects, and the former group's systolic and diastolic blood pressures were higher than those of the latter(p<0.05). Levels of serum total protein, albumin and TG of the above 6 year female group were lower than those of the under 5 year female group(p<0.05). As the diabetic duration was extended, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels showed a tendency to increase, while Hb, Ht, total protein, albumin, and A/G, which represent the nutrients state of iron and protein, were inclined to decrease. This result showed that serum lipid components went bad. To summarize the results, the longer the diabetic duration, the worse were the male subjects nutrient intake status, but those of the female subjects were good. With respect to serum components and serum lipid subjects Fe, protein, nutrition status and serum lipid component got worse as the diabetic duration was extended , implying the possibility of diabetes mellitus complication grows.

  • 본 연구는 해조성분 강화염을 본태성 고혈압쥐(SHR)와 정상혈압쥐(WKY)에게 6주간 급여하면서 혈압, 무기질 및 혈청 생화학치 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 실험처리는 laver salt, fucoidan+laver salt(high/low dose), refined salt(대조염)의 4처리로 하였고, 실험동물(SHR/WKY)은 완전임의배치법으로 각각 8마리, 6마리씩 배치하였다. 식염량은 1일 16g을 기준으로 하여, +20% (고염식), -20%(저염식)으로 설정하였으며, 식염은 음용수 형태로 6주 동안 급여하였다. 실험기간동안 수축기 혈압은 해조성분강화염 급여 후 3주까지는 상승하다가 이후 종료시까지 비슷한 수준을 유지(fucoidan+laver salt) 또는 감소하였으며(laver salt), 대조염군(정제염)은 지속적으로 증가하다가 마지막 주에 다소 감소하였다. 실험종료시 A군과 D군의 혈압차는 약 24mmHg로 나타났고, 기준혈압대비 종료시 혈압상승율은 D군의 17.6%에 비해 A군과 C군이 각각 8.2, 7.4%로 낮았다. WKY의 실험 6주의 D군과 C군의 혈압차는 8.5 mmHg로 나타났고, 기준혈압 대비 종료시 혈압감소율은 D군보다 C군에서 더 크게 나타나서 SHR과 비슷한 경향이었다. 혈청 미네랄 중 $Na^+$ 함량은 SHR과 WKY모두 실험군간 차이가 없었고, $K^+$은 SHR에서 fucoidan+laver salt 고염식군(B)이 높았으며, $Mg^{++}$은 WKY에서 해조성분강화염군(A, B, C)이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 혈당과 총 빌리루빈함량은 SHR에서 대조염군보다 해조성분강화염군에서 유의하게 낮았고, WKY 역시 혈당치는 해조성분강화염군이 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 혈청 알부민은 SHR과 WKY 모두 laver salt군(A)이 유의하게 높았고(p<0.05), SGOT와 SGPT활성은 두 동물종 모두 해조성분강화염에서 낮았다. 혈청지질 중 TC농도는 대조염군보다 해조성분강화염군에서 통계적으로 낮았고, TG농도는 해조성분강화염 중 A군과 C군이 유의하게 낮았으며, HDL 및 LDL농도는 A군이 유의하게 높거나 낮았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과에서 해조성분강화염중 laver salt는 대조염군과 같은 양의 식염을 섭취했음에도 미네랄 대사와 혈청 지질성분의 긍정적인 변화 등으로 인해 혈압상승을 적절하게 억제한 것으로 사료되었다.

  • 본 연구는 개에서 트라마돌의 정맥투여가 아이소플루란의 최소폐포농도 ($MAC_{ISO}$)에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 6마리의 암컷 저먼셰퍼드견이 본 실험에 사용되었다. 실험견의 마취유도는 안면마스크를 이용하여 시행되었으며 실험하는 동안 기계적 환기장치를 이용하여 호기말 이산화탄소 분압 ($P_{ET}CO_2$)을 35-45 mmHg로 유지하였다. 개에서 마취유도 후 45분이 경과한 다음 gross purposeful movement가 감지 될 때까지 후지 발가락을 클램핑하는 방법을 사용하여 baseline $MAC_{ISO}$ ($MAC_{ISO}B$) 측정을 시작하였다. $MAC_{ISO}B$가 결정된 후, 트라마돌 3 mg/kg을 투여하였고 뒤이어 2.6 mg/kg/h으로 지속점적투여 (CRI)를 실시하였다. CRI 시작 후 20분이 경과한 다음, 트라마돌 투여 후 $MAC_{ISO}$값 ($MAC_{ISO}T$) 측정을 시작하였다. 동맥혈압과 심박수는 지속적으로 기록하였고 $MAC_{ISO}B$$MAC_{ISO}T$의 결정 후 각각 20분간 평형기간이 경과한 다음 동맥혈가스분석을 실시하였다. $MAC_{ISO}B$$MAC_{ISO}T$는 각각 $1.33{\pm}0.04%$$1.23{\pm}0.04%$로 측정되었고 $MAC_{ISO}B$는 트라마돌 투여 후 $7.5{\pm}0.2%$의 유의적인 (P < 0.05) 감소효과를 나타냈다. 트라마돌 투여 후 심박수와 동맥혈압에서는 유의적인 변화가 나타나지 않았으며 동맥혈 가스분석 결과에서도 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 개에서 아이소플루란을 이용한 전신마취 시 트라마돌의 투여는 심폐기능의 억압을 일으키지 않고 $MAC_{ISO}$값을 감소시켰으므로 마취의 안정성과 마취회복의 질을 향상시키는데 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

  • The aim of this study researchs status of the nutrient intake between male and female students and the nutrient intake by BMI. This study was done to investigate the body composition and nutrient intakes of 340 college students (170 males, 170 females) in Gyeonggi area. Weight, height, BMI, and blood pressure of these college students were measured Nutrient intake was assessed using the 24-hour recall method, and then calculated using the nutritional evaluation program [CAN Pro 2.0 professional (Korean Nutrition Society, 2002)]. Average height and weight were 176$\pm$5.1 cm, 70.60$\pm$l.l kg in male students and 162.2/$\pm$4.5 cm, 54.4$\pm$7.7 kg in female students respectively. Subjects were divided into three groups by BMI: underweight (less than 18.5), normal weight (18.5 to less than 23), and overweight (more than 23). The ratios of male and female subjects among these groups were 5.3% and 17.6% in underweight, 50% and 65.3% in normal weight, and 44.7% and 17.2% in overweight. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 124.0$\pm$1.5 mmHg and 76.1$\pm$14.8 mmHg in males and 1l0.l$\pm$12.9 mmHg and 70.l$\pm$10.8 mmHg in females, all in the normal range. Using nutrient values of the 7th Recommended Dietary Allowanes, the nutrient intake was calculated to Korean RDA (%). Nutrients below 75% Korean RDA were Calcium, Vitamin $B_2$, and Folate and nutrients above 100% RDA were Protein, Fe, Phosphorous, and Vitamin $B_6$. BMI showed positive correlations with body fat (%)(p<0.01) and WHR (p<0.01). Nutritional education is desirable for the improvement of dietary behaviors, body composition and nutrient intake of college students.

  • Hypertension is the most prevalent disease worldwide and is itself a risk factor for cerebral, cardiac, and renal diseases. The inconsistency of candidate genes suggested by previous genomewide association studies (GWASs) may be due to not only differences in study design and genetic or environmental background but also the difference in the power of analysis between continuous traits and discrete traits. We analyzed 352,228 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 8842 unrelated Koreans obtained from Ansan and Ansung cohorts. We performed a series of GWA analyses using three different phenotype models; young hypertensive cases (278 subjects) versus elderly normotensive controls (680 subjects); the upper 25% (2211 hypertensive cases) versus the lower 25% of the SBP distribution (2211 hypotensive controls); and finally SBP and DBP as continuous traits (8842 subjects). The numbers of young hypertensive cases and elderly normotensive controls were not large enough to achieve genomewide significance. The model comparing the upper 25% subjects to the lower 25% of subjects showed a power that was approximate to that of QTL analysis. Two neighboring SNPs of the ATP2B1 gene, rs17249754 (SBP, p=$2.53^{-10}$; DBP, p=$1.28{\times}10^{-8}$) and rs7136259 (SBP, p=$1.30{\times}10^{-9}$; DBP, p=$6.41{\times}10^{-8}$), were associated with both SBP and DBP. Interestingly, a SNP of the RPL6 gene, rs11066280, revealed a significant genomewide association with SBP in men only (p=$3.85{\times}10^{-8}$), and four SNPs located near the MAN2A1 gene showed a strong association with DBP only in elderly men aged 60-70 years (e.g., rs6421827, p=$4.86{\times}10^{-8}$). However, we did not observe any gene variant attaining genomewide significance consistently in the three phenotype models except for the ATP2B1 gene variants. In general, the association signal with blood pressure was stronger in women than in men. Genes identified in GWASs are expected to open the way for prevention, early diagnosis, and personalized treatment of hypertension.

  • This study was conducted to evaluate nutrient intake, indices of anemia, serum lipids, and their correlations in 40 Korean female college students aged 21 to 25 years. Fasting blood samples were collected in October. 1997 Nutrient intake was investigated by 24-hour recall method for three days. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, iron status and serum lipids of the subjects were determined. The mean values for age. height, weight, BMI and blood pressure of the subjects were 22.1 years, 160.6cm, 54.4kg and 109.1/66.9mmHg, respectively. According to the body composition analysis, total body water, % body fat, lean body mass and WHR were 26.7L. 29.5%, 36.5kg and 0.8, respectively. Average daily intake of energy was 1,858.4kcal. Protein, phosphorus, vitamin B$_1$, vitamin B$_2$, niacin and vitamin C intakes were higher than the Korean recommended dietary allowence(RDA), whereas calcium, iron, vitamin A intakes were tower than that. Hemoglobin(Hb), hematocrit(Hct), serum iron(SI) and total iron binding capacity(TIBC) were measured and transferrin saturation (TS%) was calculated from serum. The mean values for Hb, Hct, SI, TIBC and TS were 13.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎗, 41.6%,97.8$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎗, 319.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎗ and 31.9%, respectively. The Prevalence rates of iron deficiency assessed by Hb and Hct were found to be 10% and 2.5%, respectively. However, when assessed with TIBC, the prevalence rate of iron deficiency was increased to 32.5%. The mean values for serum triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), HDL-Chol, LDL-Chol concentrations and atherogenic index(AI) were 154.7mg/㎗, 80.0mg/㎗, 47.4mg/㎗, 91.3mg/㎗ and 2.6, respectively. Correlations among indices of anemia. there were positive correlations between Hb and Hct, between SI and TS : negative correlations between TIBC and TS or SI. Correlations among serum lipids, there were positive correlations between TC and TG or LDL-cholesterol. Energy intakes were correlated positively with TIBC(p<0.05), and vitamin C intakes negatively correlated with Hb(P<0.05). And vitamin A intakes were negatively correlated with TG(p<0.01). TC(p<0.05) and LDL-Chol(p<0.01). Hb negatively correlated with TG(P<0.05). Body weights(p<0.05), lean body mass(p<0.05) and total body water(p<0.01) werenegatively correlated with Hb. BMI and WHR correlated with TG and TC(p<0.01). These results indicated that subjects with higher energy intake and overweight had a tendency to have iron deficiency. Increases in BMI and WHR were related to increases in serum lipids levels and decreases in TIBC. The results also showed that serum lipids were decreased when vitamin A and iron intakes were sufficient.

  • This study was made to find out how health practice affect on nutrition status of the college freshmen in male and female. 400 freshmen students in 4year colleges were surveyed. Questionnaire and blood analysis were made. The contents of questionnaire contained general characteristics, health practice behavior, and food intake. The physical measurement included height, weight and blood pressure. The questions for health practice were about drinking, smoking, BMI, skipping breakfast and sleeping. Nutrient intake was expressed by DDS(Dietary Diversity Score by 5 food groups) and DVS (Dietary Variety Score) and 24-hrs recall method was used to find out the quantity of daily food intake. EAR% was calculated and NAR and MAR were produced. The results are as follows: 1) BMI was $22.77kg/m^2$ for males and $20.42kg/m^2$ for females. The ratio maintaining normal weight indicated by BMI of 18.5-23 was higher(p<0.001) for female students(63.2%) than males(56.5%). The ratio of overweight with over $23kg/m^2$ of BMI was 28.5% for males and 8.8% for females(p<0.001). 2)The ratio of drinking students was 59.4% for males and 40.6% for female(p<0.001). And the ratio of smoking students was 95.2% for males and 4.8% for females(p<0.001). 3) The ratio of poor health practice group was 35.7% for males and 25.5% for females, and that of excellent one was 25.4% for males and 33.1% for females(p<0.05). 4) In NAR, the lowest ratio was observed for the intake of Ca, Fe, Vitamin C and Vitamin $B_2$. The intake of Fe, Vitamin $B_2$ and phosphorus were different significantly according to sexuality. For Fe, female students showed lower level than male students(p<0.001). For Vitamin $B_2$, and phosphorus female students showed higher level(p<0.001). 5) In MAR, there was no difference according to sexuality in almost all of the ingredients. 6) For energy intake, male and female students showed 59% and 66% of EAR and it was insufficient for them. 7) For protein, more than 100% was obtained. The lowest ratio was observed for the intake of vitamin C 50.8%, Ca 53.6% and Fe 65.1% of EAR were obtained. The lowest intake ratio and for the intake of Fe female students obtained just 37.5% of EAR showing high risk of anemia. The intake of energy(p<0.001), phosphorus(p<0.01), niacin(p<0.05), Fe(p<0.001), and Vitamin $B_2$ (p<0.001) were different significantly according to sexuality. For Fe, female students showed lower level than male students(p<0.001). For energy, phosphorus, niacin, and Vitamin $B_2$ female students showed higher level(p<0.001) than male students. 8) For blood pressure, male students showed normal level of 120.7/79.1 mmHg, however, female students showed 114.5/75.4 mmHg lower than male (p<0.001). 9). In blood, for hemoglobin female students showed significantly lower level than that of male(p<0.001). T-Cholesterol and HDL-Cholesterol female students showed higher level than males (p<0.001), And for triglyceride male students showed higher level than females(p<0.001). Ca and Fe female students showed lower level (p<0.001).

  • 본 연구는 톳유래의 무기성분강화염이 혈압과 무기질 대사에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 수행하였다. 실험처리는 고 저 염식군(Hizikia mineral salt)과 대조군(정제염)의 세가지 처리군으로 하였고, 실험동물인 본태성 고혈압쥐(SHR/NCrj)와 정상쥐(WKY/NCrj)에 음용수의 형태로 식염을 급여하였다. SHR에서는 시험 6주째 수축기혈압(SBP)이 C군보다 고 저염식군(A, B)이 각각 17,24 mmHg 낮았고, 기준혈압(RBP)대비 시험 6주째 혈압의 상승율은 A, B, C군에서 각각 12, 4, 21%로 B군이 가장 낮았다. WKY의 경우 시험 6주째 SBP는 A군과 C군에서 각각 165, 164 mmHg인 반면, B군은 148 mmHg로 훨씬 낮았다. RBP 대비 시험 6주째 혈압의 상승율은 A, B, C군에서 각각 17, 7, 19%로 B군이 가장 낮았다. 소변과 분변 중의 미네랄은 SHR/WKY 종에서 무기 성분강화염군이 정제염군보다 $Na^+$ 함량은 유의하게 낮았지만 $K^+$함량은 무기성분강화염군이 정제염군보다 유의하게 또는 대체로 높았다. 소변과 분변 중 미네랄함량은 다소간 차이가 있었지만 대변보다 소변으로 더 많이 배설된 것으로 나타났다. 간장의 경우 SHR은 $K^+$을 제외한 $Na^+$, $Ca^{++}$$Mg^{++}$ 함량은 무기성분강화 염군보다 대조군이 통계적으로 높았다(p<0.05). WKY에서 $Na^+$ 함량은 고염식군(A)이 가장 높았고, 신장에서 SHR의 $Na^+$ 함량은 정제염군이 무기성분강화염군보다 높았지만 WKY에서는 오히려 A군과 B군이 대조군보다 높았고, $K^+$ 함량은 저염식군(B)이 가장 높았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과에서 톳유래의 저염식은 $Na^+$ 함량은 낮추고 $K^+$ 함량은 높이는 등의 체내 미네랄 대사에 긍정적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 혈압상승 억제작용이 있는 것으로 사료되었다.
