당뇨병과 정신건강은 어떤 관련성이 있을까? 당뇨병이 스트레스나 우울증과 관련이 있다는 것은 비교적 잘 알려져 있는데 다른 정신건강 문제와도 관련이 있을까? 당뇨병을 꾸준히 관리하는 것만도 수월하지 않은 당뇨병 환자에게 정신건강 관리를 하라는 것은 또 다른 부담을 가중시킬 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 효과적인 당뇨병 관리를 위해서는 정신건강에 관심을 기울이고 함께 관리하지 않을 수 없다. 건강하고 안정적인 정신건강 상태는 당뇨병 관리의 뒷받침이 되므로 당뇨병의 효과적인 관리를 위해 선행되어야 할 요소이다. 종종 정신건강 문제는 당뇨병 관리의 방해요인이 되기 때문에 이를 방지하기 위해서도 정신건강 관리는 당뇨병 관리와 함께 이루어져야 한다. 스트레스, 우울, 불안 등 정신건강 문제들이 어느 정도 해결될 때, 비로소 당뇨병 자가관리를 지속할 수 있으며 그 효과를 거둘 수 있는 것이다. 대부분의 당뇨병 환자는 진단기준을 충족시키지는 않더라도 적어도 가끔은 정신장애 증상을 경험할 수 있다. 일부 환자는 진단기준에 부합하는 장기간의 심각한 정신과적 증상으로 고통을 받기도 한다. 당뇨병 진단 후 당뇨병을 심리적으로 수용하고 관리하는 과정에서 정신장애를 경험하게 될 가능성이 높아진다. 정신장애도 만성질환의 속성을 가지므로 정신장애를 동반한 당뇨병 환자는 만성질환 관리의 부담이 가중될 수 있다. 따라서 정신장애를 최대한 예방하고 적시에 적절한 치료를 통해 심화되지 않도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해 당뇨병과 관련 있는 정신장애에 대한 이해와 지식을 갖추는 것이 필요하다.

Objectives : Artemisia princeps is used as moxa in moxibustion and traditional herbal medicine. And its extracts or compounds is known to have an efficacy of antioxidant, anti-diabete, anti-cancer, anti-inflammation and neuroprotection. This study was performed to investigate the cytoprotective effect of Artemisia princeps extract (APE) against arachidonic acid (AA)+iron-induced oxidative stress on HepG2 cell. Methods : The effects of APE on cell viability has been assessed using MTT assay. And flow cytometric analysis was performed to estimate APE's effects on mitochondrial function. To investigate its underlying mechanism, related protein was analysed by using immunoblot analysis. Results : Treatment of APE increased relative cell viability, prevented a decline of B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xL) and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and procaspase-3, and also protected mitochondrial membrane permeability (MMP) against oxidative stress induced by AA+iron. In addition, APE treatment increased phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) exerts a cytoprotective effect. Conclusions : This results demonstrate that APE has an ability to activation of AMPK which protects cells from AA+iron-induced oxidative stress and restores MMP.

Hepatic fibrosis is one of chronic liver diseases which spread in worldwide and it has high risk to turn advanced cirrhosis and hepatocellualr carcinoma. Brassica family has been produced for commercial purpose and in Korea Brassica rapa (Turnip) is cultivated in Ganghwa County, Gyeonggi-do Korea and used for making Kimchi. Recently pharmacological effects of turnip have been known; diabete mellitus modulation, alcohol oxidization, and fibrosis inhibition. In previous study we found antifibrogenic effect of turnip water extract and in this study we made turnip nanoparticle to promote turnip delivery into liver. At the same time we assessed the biological safety of turnip nanoparticle. Thioacetamide (TAA) induced hepatic nodular formation and fibrosis (mean of fibrosis score: 4). However, 1% turnip nanoparticle inhibited TAA-induced hepatic nodular formation and fibrosis (mean of fibrosis score: 2-3). Activities of serum enzymes (aspartic acid transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and total bilirubin (T-Bil)), complete blood count (CBC), and the appearance of organs were not different from control and 1% turnip nanoparticle treatment. Conclusively 1% turnip nanoparticle significantly reduced TAA-induced hepatic fibrosis and was safe in 7-weeks feeding.

The physical tooth movement by orthodontic force is based upon alveolar bone resorption at compression site and new bone formation at tension site of the alveolar socket. The function of the cyclic AMP is to participate not only in initial action of bone cells by mechanical forces but also in the continuous cellular response leading to bone remodelling. This experiment was performed to clarify the role of cyclic AMP in bone remodelling by mechanical force in the NORMAL group, the DIABETES group and the INSULIN TREATED group. The 72 rats were divided into the NORMAL group, the DIABETES group and the INSULIN TREATED group. The same orthodontic forces were applied to the rats of 3 groups. These rats were treated for periods of time ranging from 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days. The samples of alveolar bones were obtained from compression and tension sites surrounding the tipping teeth from NORMAL, DIABETE and INSULIN TREATED rats. The samples were assayed for cyclic AMP by the cyclic AMP RIA kit. The results were as follows: 1. The cyclic AMP levels of alveolar bone in compression and tension sites showed initial decrease, then increased and .remained elevated by the time consuming. 2. The highest cyclic AMP level showed in the DIABETES group and the lowest level was in the NORMAL group. 3. The cyclic AMP levels in the INSULIN TREATED group was similar with the NORMAL group in control and tension sites, but in the compression sites it was similar with the DIABETES group.
