In recent years, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus has dramatically increased in Korea as the diet has rapidly become westernized. We determined the effect of long-term cola intakes on glucose metabolism and oxidative stress in weanling male Sprague Dawley rats consuming a moderate fat diet Thirty male rats, born from 6 female rats, were randomized into cola or water drinking groups. For 28 weeks, all rats were provided with an ad lib solid diet having 33 percent of its metabolisable energy as fat In addition, rats of the cola group were provided with ad lib cola instead of water. The daily total caloric intake did not differ between groups. The rats in the cola group consumed a higher proportion of carbohydrates, and their mean body weight and fasting serum insulin level were lower than that of the control group. Whole-body glucose disposal rates measured by an euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp were higher in the cola group. However, lipid peroxide levels in kidney tissue were higher in the cola group than in the control group. Superoxide dismutase activity in kidney tissues was lower in the cola group compared to the control group, while glutathion peroxidase and catalase activities were not significantly different between the two groups. In conclusion, long-term cola intakes decreased insulin resistance, but increased oxidative stress in kidney tissue due to decreased SOD activities, which may lead to kidney damage. Thus, moderate changes in insulin resistance may not affect the status of oxidative stress, and vice versa.

This study considers types of expression and examines aesthetic characteristics through analyzing designs (such as the Coca-Cola contour bottle as fashion) which has actively progressed in the collaboration of fashion designers and fashion brands. The conclusions of this study are as follows. The types of fashion expression on the Coca-Cola contour bottle are a presentation of diverse fashion images through a digital print expression that allow people-friendly images to be three-dimensional (or by adding a formative element) and the use of accessories or clothes. The symbolism characteristic were first indicated for the aesthetic characteristics on the Coca-Cola contour bottle. Symbolism is indicated through the identification of an implicit meaning towards a specific object. The symbolism of fashion was highlighted by designing the Coca-Cola's contour bottle with a typical material and pattern pursued by fashion designers and fashion brands. Second, the characteristic of playfulness was presented to expresses the instinctive desire in human nature for pleasure. The expression of visual playfulness is emphasized through the combination of item and image or by changing and re-analyzing a form through refuting stereotypes. Third, the characteristic of femininity was shown to express beauty in external image or a woman's delicate and soft inner propensity. Femininity was created by presenting a sensual femininity that recognized the voluminous curve silhouette of the Coca-Cola bottle such as a sexy female body or through the combination of a women's inner beauty with the sensory image of the object.

Gastric bezoars are concretion of undigested material in the gastrointestinal tract. In the past, gastric bezoars were generally treated with surgical management. Recently, the efficacy of oral intake or endoscopic injection therapy with Coca-Cola has been reported. We report a case of a 47-year-old-man with huge gastric bezoar ($4{\times}2.5$ cm) that was successfully removed by endoscopic fragmentation with Coca-Cola injection. Compared with a single endoscopic fragmentation therapy, the combination therapy with Coca-Cola injection shortened the procedure time and reduced the complication associated with fragmented bezoar.

The purpose of this study was to understand the concept, form, and structure of the bata de cola through an investigation of the history of the costume and a study of the suitability of its functional elements during performance of 'Caña Flamenco'. Traditionally, Flamenco dance dresses were made by Spanish women from the lower classes, and the 'upward flow' of the dresses represented the women's individuality and unique style. The bata de cola, which appeared later, was an evolution of the Flamenco dress that was influenced by costume styles and silhouettes of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and it was made famous by Flamenco dancers. For practical costume production, a Flamenco artist who had performed in Spain and Korea was proposed as a study participant. The study was conducted using a stepwise wearing evaluation method whereby the Flamenco artist wore prototype dresses and evaluated whether they were practical for the required dance movements or not. A final bata de cola pattern was derived after the experiment was repeated five times based on the feedback of the Flamenco artist, focusing on the factors that were considered most important. Using stepwise clothing evaluation of the prototype, a costume that enabled the Flamenco artist to implement optimal movements was successfully produced.

Bezoars are collections or concretions of indigestible foreign material that accumulate and coalesce in the gastrointestinal tract; they usually occur in patients who have undergone gastric surgery and have delayed gastric emptying. Treatment options include dissolution with enzymes, endoscopic fragmentation with removal or aspiration, and surgery. Recently, the efficacy of nasogastric lavage or endoscopic infusion of Coca-Cola for the dissolution of phytobezoar have been reported. We report a case of phytobezoar successfully treated by oral administration and endoscopic injection of Coca-Cola. A 62-year-old woman was referred to Yeungnam University Hospital for epigastric pain. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed one very large, dark-greenish, solid bezoar in the stomach with gastric ulcer and duodenal bulb deformity. We performed endoscopic injection of Coca-Cola into the bezoar. The patient was instructed to drink four liters of Coca-Cola per day. At endoscopy two days later, the phytobezoar was easily broken into pieces. At endoscopy on the $11^{th}$ day of admission, the phytobezoar was decreased in size and removed by endoscopic fragmentation with a polypectomy snare. At follow up endoscopy after 13 days, the bezoar was completely dissolved.

Stainless steels and titanium alloys are widely used in the medical industry as replacement materials. These materials may be affected by the conditions and type of environment. In the same manner, soft drinks are widely consumed products. It is of interest for dental industry to know the behavior of medical-grade alloys when these are in contact with soft drinks, since any excessive ion release can suppose a risk for human health. In the present study, the electrochemical behavior of three stainless steel alloys and pure titanium was analyzed using three types of cola soft drinks as electrolyte. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of these metallic materials in each type of solution (cola standard, light and zero). Different electrochemical techniques were used for the evaluation of the alloys, namely potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization, and open-circuit potential measurements. The corrosion resistance of the stainless-steel alloys and titanium in the cola soft drinks was provided by the formation of a stable passive film formed by metal oxides. Scanning electron microscopy was used as a complementary technique to reveal corrosion phenomena at the surface of the materials evaluated.

There are many concerns about the erosive effect of acidic beverage. In this study, the erosive effect of bovine enamel caused by $Pepsi-Cola^{(R)}$(pH 2.41) and rehardening effect by intraoral exposure were determined by microhardness test and SEM. The bovine enamel specimen was imbedded in 100ml $Pepsi-Cola^{(R)}$ during 5 minutes and exposed to the intraoral environment with removable resin plate. The microhardness test was performed after 1 hr, 24 hrs, and 48 hrs. The results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows ; 1. The microhardness value was significantly (p<0.05) reduced by cola beverage, and significantly (p<0.05) increased after 1 hr and 24 hrs respectively. 2. The difference in the microhardness between 24 hrs group and 48 hrs group was not significant (p>0.05) and microhardness value of 48 hrs group was significantly less than that of initial group (p<0.05). 3. The erosive effect of cola beverage and remineralization effect by intraoral exposure were visualized by the SEM photo. But, the enamel surfaces did not return to their original state.

현재 시판중인 대부분의 음료가 산성을 띤다는 사실은 이미 잘 알려져 있으며 이러한 산성의 음료 음용의 증가는 우려할 만한 수준으로 치아 침식증을 촉진할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구는 어린이들이 비교적 일상적으로 쉽게 접하는 탄산음료 중 가장 보편화된 한 종을 택하여 치아와의 노출과 노출빈도에 따른 법랑질의 침식정도를 조사 분석할 목적으로 시행되었다. 탈락 시기의 건전한 유치를 발거하여 두 개의 군, 즉 magnetic stirrer에 의해 진동(agitation)을 받은 군과 그렇지 않은 군으로 나뉘었고 나뉜 군들은 또 각각 콜라에의 노출빈도에 따라 3개의 군으로 나뉘었다. 각각의 군들은 신선한 콜라에 5분씩 노출되었으며 노출 전과 후에 증류수에 의해 세척되었고 시편의 노출이 이루어지지 않는 시간에는 생리 식염수에 보관한 후, 인공적으로 침식을 유발시켰을 때 나타나는 양상을 표면미세경도측정법으로 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 본 실험에 사용된 콜라의 산도는 평균 pH 2.5로서 치아 침식증을 유발하기에 충분한 수준이었다. 2. 콜라에 의한 침식유발 후의 법랑질 표면경도는 대조군에 비해 모든 시료에서 감소되었다(p<0.05). 침식유발 시간이 경과함에 따라 법랑질 표면경도는 모든 실험군에서 초기에는 급격히 낮아지다가 이후에는 그 정도가 덜해지는 양상을 보였다. 3. 법랑질을 콜라에 노출시킨 빈도가 증가함에 따라 법랑질 표면경도는 감소되었다. 4. 콜라에 진동(agitation)을 가하여 탄산가스를 증가시킨 결과 법랑질의 표면경도는 진동을 가하지 않은 군에 비해 감소되었다(p<0.05).
