Purpose: The present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of scaling and root planing (SRP) on the C-reactive protein (CRP) levels of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum in chronic periodontitis patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM-CP) or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (NDM-CP). Methods: Forty-eight human participants were divided into two groups: an experimental (T2DM-CP) group (group I, n=24) comprising chronic periodontitis patients with random blood sugar ${\geq}200mg/dL$ and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and control (NDM-CP) group (group II, n=24) of those with chronic periodontitis and random blood sugar <200 without T2DM for the study. All subjects underwent nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) including complete SRP and subgingival debridement. Periodontal health parameters, plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), GCF volume (GCF vol), GCF-CRP, random blood glucose (RBS), glycated hemoglobin, and systemic inflammatory markers, serum CRP, total leukocyte count (TLC), neutrophil count (Neutr) and lymphocyte count (Lymph), were evaluated at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after SRP. Results: NSPT resulted in statistically significant improvement in periodontal health parameters (PI, GI, PPD, CAL, GCF vol), CRP levels in serum as well as GCF of both groups I and II. The mean improvement in periodontal health parameters (PI, GI, PPD, CAL, GCF vol), CRP levels in serum and GCF was greater in group I than group II after NSPT. There was nonsignificant increase in GCF-CRP, TLC, Lymph, and RBS, and a significant increase in Neutr and Serum CRP in group II at 1 month. The Serum CRP level of 20 out of 24 group II patients had also increased at 1 month. Conclusions: The CRP levels in both GCF and serum were higher in T2DM-CP patients than in NDM-CP patients. Although there was a significant improvement in both the groups, greater improvement was observed in both GCF and serum samples of T2DM-CP patients.

통증이 거의 없는 새로운 모세혈액 채혈기법인 진공자동채혈법(vacuum assisted auto-lancing)의 정확도를 분석하고자 전형적인 대체부위인 전완(팔) 부위에서 채혈하여 측정한 혈당값을 표준 채혈부위인 정맥 및 손가락에서 채혈하여 측정한 혈당값과 비교, 분석하는 연구를 수행하였다. C대학교병원을 내원한 531명의 환자들을 대상으로 왼손 집게손가락 끝과 왼쪽 전완 부위에서 말초혈액의 혈당을 측정하였고, 곧바로 정맥 채혈하여 혈당을 측정하였다. 전완 부위 혈당 평균값이 손가락보다 정맥 혈당값에 더욱 가까웠으나 이들 간의 차이는 약 10 mg/dL 범위에 불과하여 임상적으로는 동일한 값들로 볼 수 있었다. 측정값들 간에 상관분석을 수행한 결과 손가락과 정맥 채혈의 혈당값 간의 상관계수는 0.94, 전완 부위와 정맥 혈당값 간의 상관계수는 0.92, 또한 전완 부위와 손가락 채혈 간의 상관계수는 0.94로 모두 매우 유의한 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.001). 따라서 대체부위인 전완 부위 혈당검사의 정확도가 실험적으로 입증되었다. 손가락 혈당검사는 상당한 채혈 통증이 수반되어 당뇨 환자들이 자가 검사를 기피하는 주요 원인이 되지만, 전완 부위에서 진공자동채혈하면 통증이 거의 없으므로 만성 당뇨환자들의 자가 질환관리를 위해 매우 유용하리라 기대된다.

우리나라에도 심혈관질환으로 인한 사망률이 점차 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 채식과 혈청지질 수준 및 혈당, 혈압과의 관계를 규명하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 채식을 하는 비구니스님을 대상으로 하여 연구한 결과를 요약하면 조사대상자의 평균나이는 채식인 44.2세, 비채식인 40.5세, BMI는 각각 22.4, 21.0이었고, WHR은 0.8, 0.8이었고, %BF는 28.7,26.5였으며, 채식인의 평균채식기간은 13.1년이었다. 조사대상자의 total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-chole-sterol, AI, 수축기혈압 및 혈당은 비채식인이 유의적으로 낮았으며, 심혈관질환 예견지수인 HDL-cholsterol/total-chol-esterol 비는 채식인이 유의적으로 높았다. 두군 모두 중성지방, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI,는 BMI, WHR, %BF와는 유의적으로 높은 정의상관을 보였다. HDL-cho-lesterol은 BMI, WHR과는 유의한 부의상관을 보였다. 나이는 채식인에서는 BMI, WHR과는 높은 정의상관을 보였다. 나이는 채식인에서는 중성지방과는 정의상관, 비채식인에서는 중성지방, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI, 수축기 혈압과는 정의 상관을 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 볼 때 두군 모두 BMI, RBW, WHR, %BF가 높을수록 총콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI, 수축기 혈압이 유의적으로 높아졌으며 BMI, WHR이 높을수록 HDL-cholesterol은 유의적으로 낮아졌다. 그러나 채식군은 비채식군에 비해 BMI, RBW, WHR, %BF가 유의적으로 높았음에도 불구하고 심혈관 질환 관련인자인 총콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI, 수축기 혈압 및 혈당이 비채식군에 비해 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 한편 나이와의 상관에서도 비채식인은 나이와 중성지방, 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI등이 모두 정의 상관을 보였으나 채식군에서는 나이와 중성지방만이 정의 상관을 보였다. 따라서 채식을 하면 비만인 사람이라도 혈중 지질수준 및 혈당, 혈압이 낮아져서 심혈관 질환 및 고혈압, 당뇨병 등의 예방 치료에 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

It is already well known that many factors are involved in maintaining normal blood glucose level. The amount and components of meal are also thought to be some of the factors which affect the blood glucose and insulin levels. It is reported that as for Koreans sugar takes up over 75% out of 2,098 kcal, the average daily calorie intake per adult. It implies that Koreans take a high-sugar diet compared with Westerners who take $40\sim50%$ of sugar out of their total average daily calorie. For the purpose of studying diurnal variations in serum glucose, insulin and C-peptide of normal Korean adults based on ordinary Korean diet, we selceted 13 normal Korean male adults and divided them into two groups, Group I (7 persons) and Group II (6 persons). We put Group I on 3,100kcal and 75% sugar diet, and Group II on 2,100 kcal and 69% sugar diet per day for over 4 days. Serum glucose, insulin and C-peptide were checked every 30 minutes or every hour throughout 24 hours. Results are as follows: 1. As for serum glucose level, in the prep ran dial fasting state in the morning, $mean{\pm}S.D.$ of Group I was $91.1{\pm}8.2mg%$, while that of Group II is $82.5{\pm}4.4mg%$. Both groups showed peaks of increased glucose level at postprandial 1 hour after each meal. The peak returned to the level shown during the fasting state at postprandial 1 hour after breakfast while the relatively high glucose levels were maintained respectively even for 2 or 3 hours.after lunch and dinner. 2. As for serum insulin level, Group showed $mean{\pm}S.D.$ of $14.7{\pm}3.0{\mu}U/ml$ while Group II shows that of $7.0{\pm}2.6{\mu}U/ml$ in the fasting state. Group I particularly showed the largest peak from preprandial a half or one and half an hour to postprandial one hour of lunch, and made relatively small peaks $(47.7{\pm}10.8{\mu}U/ml)$ at postorandial 1 hour after breakfast and dinner. No such large peak was marked in Group II, though it showed relatively similar patterns of peak after each meal. 3. As for C-peptide, in the fasting state, Group I and Group II showed $3.50{\pm}1.85$ and $1.66{\pm}0.53ng/ml$ of $mean{\pm}S.D.$, respectively. Group II showed peaks parallel to those for insulin level. None out of seven in Group I showed expected increase in C-peptide based insulin secretion at a half or one and half an hour before lunch. On the contrary, C-peptide increased in 5 subjects out of seven in Group I at 11:00 p.m. when insulin did not increase. 4. According to the integrated concentration method for a measurement of 24-hour total. insulin secretion rate, the $mean{\pm}S.D.$ of Group I was $76.4{\pm}15.2$ U and that of Group II was $58.6{\pm}21.1$ U. The above results confirm that Koreans, when given ordinary diet of 2,100 kcal and 69%, sugar, show insulin secretion pattern essentially similar to that of Westerners. On the contrary, when they are put on a high-calorie diet of 3,100 kcal a day, 75% of which is sugar, insulin secretion can be increased before lunch without increase in blood glucose. These results implies that insulin secretion can be affected by some other factors. The observation that an increase in C-peptide after 11 : 00 p.m. independent of insulin level supports an assertion that insulin secretion and C-peptide secretion can be thought as being physiologically dissociable, and these changes of diurnal patterns in the levels of serum insulin and C-peptide are thought to be resulted from the large meal and high-carbohydrate diet.

This study was conducted to investigate the risk of chronic disease as predicted by abdominal obesity in Korean adult females. Data on 2,738 adult females aged 40~64 yrs was obtained from the 2013~2014 Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. The subjects were divided into normal (n=1,835), abdominal obesity (AO, n=73), and BMI-diagnosed abdominal obesity (BMI-AO, n=505) groups based on the NCEP-ATP III guidelines and by applying the KSSO definition regarding waist circumference. Triglyceride blood levels, fasting blood sugar levels, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure were higher in the AO and BMI-AO groups than in the normal group. The HDL-cholesterol levels of subjects in the two abdominal groups were lower as compared to those of subjects in the normal group. The mean adequacy ratio was lower among subjects in the AO and BMI-AO groups than among those in the normal group. Moreover, the NAR and INQ scores of some micro-nutrients in both of the abdominal obesity groups were lower than those in the normal group. Both the AO and BMI-AO groups showed significantly higher risks of hypertriglycemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension, hypoHDL-cholesterolemia, and metabolic syndrome than were shown by the normal group. Notably, as compared to the normal group, the AO group showed higher risk of hypercholesterolemia, hyperLDL-cholesterolemia, hypertriglycemia, and metabolic syndrome than did the BMI-AO group. This finding suggests that it is essential to develop prevention programs including programs for those with abdominal obesity despite their having a BMI within the normal range.

This cross-sectional study was conducted to describe the changes of plasma cardiovascular disease(CVD) risk factors in Korea. Overnight fasting plasma levels of total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein(HDL)-cholesterol, triacylglycerol and glucose were analyzed. Blood pressure and anthropometric data were also measured. Health practice factors such as smoking status, alcohol consumption and frequency fo exercise were evaluated by a self-administered questionnaire. Questions regarding dietary habits and food preferences were also asked. Seventy eight percent of the subjects had more than one CVD risk factor. Plasma total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and fasting blood glucose were significantly increased according to the subjects body mass index$(kg/m^2$, BMI), whereas HDL-cholesterol, low density lipoprotein(LDL)-cholesterol and blood pressure showed no significant differences with BMI. Current smokers had significantly high plasma total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels. Alcohol consumption significantly increased plasma total cholesterol and fasting blood sugar, but regular exercise had no effects on the plasma CVD risk factors. Overeating and frequency of fast food consumption were positively correlated with the CVD risk score, whereas intake of grains, meats and vegetables were negatively correlated with that score. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the effects of specific dietary factors on plasma lipid levels. For plasma total cholesterol level, the frequency of fast food intake explained 8% of the variance, followed by habitual overeating, frequency of grain intake and high cholesterol food intake(Model $R^2$=22.4%). For plasma triacylglycerol level, preference of oily foods accounted for 7.5% of the variance, followed by eating breakfast, preference of fruit and frequency of grain intake(Model $R^2$=22.0%). The findings suggest that intervention programs to reduce the risk of CVD should focus on health practice through reducing BMI, smoking cessation and moderate or no alcohol drinking. Moreover, desirable dietary habits such as eating breakfast, not overeating and reduced intake of fast food may improve CVD risk.

Antioxidant activity of dropwort fermented extract (DFE) was measured according to fermentation period, and liver protective effects were examined using Sprague-Dawley rats. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents as well as DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities increased up to 60~80 days and then decreased slightly. Proper fermentation time for DFE was more than 60 days and less than 80 days. Administration of alcohol to rats for 10 days at 10 mL/kg/day raised serum AST, ALT, total cholesterol, and triglyceride (TG) levels, which were then lowered by DFE and sugar liquid with the same soluble solids. While sugar liquid increased the blood lipid profile, especially TG levels, DFE had no effect due to its antioxidant activity. When TBARS content of the DFE group in liver tissue significantly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner compared to that of the ALH group (p<0.05). Liver damage was recovered by DFE treatment and was confirmed by hamatoxylin-eosin staining. These results suggest that DFE has a protective effect against alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity in SD rats.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the effects of Carbohydrates on blood glucose levels in healthy adults after taking the monosaccharide glucose and disaccharide candies. Methods: This study was experimental research using a randomized controlled trial. Participants were college students who could agree the purpose of the study and participated voluntarily and met the selection criteria. Considering the dropout rate, 25 subjects in each group were included. The assignments of the experimental group and the control group were randomly assigned, and this study used the allocation concealment. Glucose tablets of 15g in the experimental group, and 15g sugar of candies in the control group were orally ingested. Blood glucose was measured before ingestion, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes after ingestion. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in blood glucose of 10 minutes (U=406.00, p=.069), 15 minutes (U=370.00, p=.264), and 30 minutes after ingestion (U=337.00, p=.634) between experimental (glucose tablet oral ingestion) and control groups (mint candy oral ingestion). Conclusion: There was no difference in the blood glucose level up to 30 minutes after ingestion of monosaccharide glucose and disaccharide candy. Through this study, the decision to use either candy or glucose tablets in the event of hypoglycemia can be chosen according to the patient's preference.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the nutritional status of elderly individuals according to their household types and to investigate the predictors of their nutritional status. Methods: This study, which was a descriptive research study, involved physical measurements, surveys, and biochemical tests in 87 elderly individuals living in the community. Using SPSS/Win 24.0, logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the general characteristics, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), mini nutritional assessment (MNA) score, and biochemical indicators in elderly individuals according to the household type. Results: Elderly individuals living with family members had higher MNA scores than those of elderly individuals living alone, while showing lower levels of systolic blood pressure and fasting blood sugar. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors were MNA scores (odds ratio (OR)=1.81, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.36-2.42), systolic blood pressure (OR=0.96, 95% CI=0.92-1.00), and fasting blood glucose (OR=0.94, 95% CI=0.90-0.99). Conclusion: It was confirmed that elderly individuals living alone need differentiated nutrition intervention, since the results showed that they had lower nutritional levels and improper nutritional management than that in elderly individuals living with family members.
