Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of dietary moisture content on the growth and gastrointestinal evacuation of sub-adult olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in the summer and winter seasons. In the first experiment, three experimental diets containing different moisture levels (7%, 15%) and additives were prepared by adding water and commercial additives (1% nutrients, 1% digestives) to commercial extruded pellets. Fish (initial weight: $332{\pm}9.2$ g) were distributed randomly into six 3000 L tanks (25 fish/tank) in a flow-through tank system. Two replicate groups of fish were fed the experimental diets to satiation for 14 weeks during the summer season ($21.4{\pm}2.5^{\circ}C$). Survival, weight gain, feed efficiency, and daily feed intake did not differ significantly among groups. In the second experiment, two experimental diets containing different moisture levels (8%, 23%) were prepared by adding water to commercial extruded pellets. Fish (initial weight: $646{\pm}6.7$ g) were randomly distributed into six 3000 L tanks (20 fish/tank) in a flow-through tank system. Three replicate groups of fish were fed the experimental diets to satiation for 19 weeks during the winter season ($12.2{\pm}1.2^{\circ}C$). Weight gain, feed efficiency, and daily feed intake did not differ significantly among groups. Gastrointestinal evacuation rates were determined after the end of the winter feeding trials. The stomach contents of fish fed diets containing different moisture levels peaked within 3 h after feeding and then decreased gradually over 40 h to approach pre-feeding levels. Intestinal contents began to accumulate 3 h after feeding and reached a maximum at 32 h, then declined until nearly complete evacuation around 56 h. The stomach contents reached moisture levels of approximately 70% within 3 h after feeding and then increased gradually. No considerable difference in moisture levels was observed in the stomach contents of fish fed diets with different moisture contents. The results of this study suggest that the gastric evacuation of sub-adult olive flounder was not affected by dietary moisture level and the addition of water to the diet had no beneficial effect on the growth of sub-adult olive flounder in the summer and winter seasons.

설탕의 40%를 프락토올리고당이나 이소말토올리고당으로 대치하여 구운 스폰지 케이크를 2주간 섭취하게 하여 여대생의 변비개선에 대한 효과를 살펴보았다. 두 올리고당 모두 섭취 후 배변 횟수와 변의 경도를 유의적으로 개선시켰다. 프락토올리고당을 첨가한 스폰지 케이크를 섭취한 군에서는 배변시간이 섭취 1주 후부터 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 이소말토올리고당을 첨가한 스폰지 케이크를 섭취한 군에서는 변의 모양, 변색, 배변 시 노력과 배변 후 상쾌함 등이 섭취 전보다 섭취 후에 유의적으로 개선되었다. 섭취 중에 나타난 소화장애 현상으로는 설사, 복통, 메스꺼움, 더부룩함, 방귀, 식욕 감소, 체중감소, 복부 팽만감 등이 나타났고, 프락토올리고당을 첨가한 스폰지 케이크 섭취 군에서는 이들 장애현상 중 복부 팽만감이나, 방귀, 메스꺼움 현상이 섭취 후 1~2시간 안에 나타나기 시작하여, 실험 기간 내내 지속되었다. 반면 이소말토올리고당을 첨가한 스폰지 케이크를 섭취한 군에서는 2~3일 정도 소화장애 현상이 나타났으나, 그 후에는 섭취 후에 장애 현상이 없어졌다. 섭취종료 일주일 후에는 프락토올리고당에 의한 소화장애 현상은 곧 사라졌으나, 대부분의 피검자들은 섭취 전에 나타난 변비현상이 다시 나타났다. 배변상황의 개선여부와 소화장애 현상을 종합적으로 판단하였을 때, 두 올리고당 모두 인체의 장기능 개선에는 효과가 있었으나, 비교적 안전성이 좋은 이소말토올리고당을 첨가한 스폰지 케이크 섭취가 변비 치료에는 더 긍정적으로 나타났다.

Constipation is a common clinical problem that comprises of symptoms that include excessive straining, hard feces, feeling of incomplete evacuation and infrequent defecation. Although many conditions, such as metabolic problems, fiber deficiency, anorectal problem, an drug, can cause constipation. This study was examined the effects of Chilsun-Whan on intestinal mucosa and gastrointestinal transit time and plasma lipids in rats. Adult male rats were fed for weeks on diets containing no addition(basal diet group), 5% cellulose(cellulose group) and 2.5% . Chilsun-Whan group(Chilsun-Whan group). The results were as follows; 1. The fecal weght was significantly increased 2 times in Chilsun-Whan administrated group compare to basal diet group. 2. The gastrointestinal transit times was significantly decreased in Chilsun-Whan administrated group compare to basal diet. 3. Carmine red mixed with Chilsun-Whan, as a marker, was administered through a gastric tube for stomach or intracecally by a chronically implanted catheter for colon transit. Small intestinal transit and large intestinal transit time were significantly decreased in Chilsun-Whan administrated group compare to basal diet. 4. The height of jejunal villi was developed in Chilsun-Whan administrated group compare to basal diet The thickness of mucosa and muscle layer of colonic mucosa were significantly developed in Chilsun-Whan administrated group compare to basal diet group. 5. The change of goblet cell in colonic mucosa was increased acid mucin stained alcian blue in Chilsun-Whan administrated group compare to basal diet and cellulose group. 6. HDL-cholesterol of plasma lipid was increased in Chilsun-Whan administrated group compare to basal diet and cellulose groups. Theses results suggests that Chilsun-Whan may be used in prevention and treatment of constipation resulting in increase of fecal weight, decrease of gastrointestinal transit time. development of intestinal villi, intensify of stainability of acid mucin in colon.

The effects of lactic acid fermented yam yogurt (Yam/YG) on colon mucosal tissue were investigated in a loperamide-induced constipation rat models. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed for 6 weeks with 3 types of diets (normal, supplemented with lactic acid bacteria, and supplemented with Yam/YG), and were then administered loperamide intraperitoneally twice daily for 5 days. Administration of loperamide decreased fecal excretion and the moisture content of feces with increasing of numbers of pellets in the colon. On the histopathologic findings from hematoxylin and eosin (H& E) and alcian blue stainings, supplementation with Yam/YG resulted in the recovery of depleted goblet cells and mucin, and increased the numbers of Ki-67 positive cells, indicating restoration of colonic mucosa through cell proliferation and crypt regeneration against damages observed in crypt epithelial cells of loperamide-induced rats. These results indicate that Yam/YG improves evacuation and mucus production in the gastrointestinal tracts of constipated-induced rats.

I. 서 론 : 변비(便秘)는 우리가 임상에서 흔히 접하는 위장관의 증상으로서, 사람들은 배변의 횟수가 너무 적거나, 대변을 힘들게 보는 경우, 대변이 너무 딱딱하거나 양이 적은 경우 혹은 배변이 너무 고통스럽거나 불완전한 배변감이 있는 경우 등과 같이 다양한 형태로서 변비라고 생각하여 병원을 찾게 된다. 그러나 변비는 식이와 사회 및 의료 환경 등의 요인에 의해 많은 영향을 받기 때문에 변비 환자의 진단 및 치료적 접근에 앞서 이러한 다양한 인자 등을 감안하여 객관적인 표준화된 정의를 설정하는데 있어 방사선학적 진단이 유용하고 이에 관한 진단적 접근방법에 대해 알아보고자 한다. II. 본 론 : 대장의 운동기능을 평가하는 검사법 가운데 가장 기본이 되는 검사가 대장통과시간(Colon transit time, CTT) 검사이다. 대장통과시간은 만성 변비증 환자의 병태생리에 따른 유형 분류와 치료 계획의 설정에 커다란 도움을 주고 있다. 방사선 비투과성 표지자(Radiopaque marker)를 이용하는 방법, 다수 표지자 사용법(Multiple marker technique), 신티그라피 측정법(Scintigraphic measurement)이 있다. 배변조영술은 항문 직장의 해부학적 정보뿐만 아니라 배변 시 항문, 직장의 변화와 골반저의 운동상태를 파악할 수 있는 기능적 방사선학 검사이다. 배변 시 항문 직장의 역동적 관찰은 배변이상 환자의 진단 및 치료방침 결정 그리고 추적검사에 도움을 준다. 마지막으로 병력에서 빠뜨려서는 안되는 것이 행동 장애나 정서 장애와 같은 정신심리학적 요인이 동반되어 있는지를 세심하게 판단하는 것이다. 이런 경우에는 이러한 정신과적 문제와 관련된 약물 복용의 유무와 종류에 대해서도 파악을 하여야 한다. III. 결 론 : 변비의 흔한 원인에는 섬유질 섭취가 충분하지 못한 경우, 수분 섭취가 충분하지 못한 경우가 많으며, 변비환자에서의 이러한 검사의 목적은 변비의 기질적 병인을 확인하기 위함으로서, 통상 이러한 방사학적 검사를 통해 결장과 항문직장의 기능에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 것은 아니다. 변비 환자의 병태생리에 따른 유형을 구분하여 향후 검사 및 치료방침을 설정하는 데 중요한 정보를 제공하고 환자의 예후를 예측하는데도 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

This study investigated the effects of xylooligosaccharide on feces bifidobacteria proliferation, lactic acid concentration and lipid metabolism in healthy woman. Fourteen volunteers were randomly assigned to 2 groups : 1.4 g/day xylooligosaccharide intake group, 2.8 g/day xylooligosaccharide intake group. The duration of the study was 28 days. The amount of feces and excretion time were not affected by xylooligosaccharide intake. The color of feces changed to yellow brown, and hardness of stool and effort to evacuation were reduced by xylooligosaccharide intake. Xylooligosaccharide intake reduced the fecal pH significantly after 14 days in 2.8 g/day intake group (p < 0.05). The number of fecal bifidobacteria were significantly increased after 28 days in 1.4 g/day intake group (p < 0.05), and in 2.8 g/day intake group, the number of fecal bifidobacteria significantly increased after 14 days (p < 0.05). Water contents of feces were not affected by xyloolgosacchride intake. The fecal triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations were increased in 2.8 g/day intake group (p < 0.05), and in 1.4 g/day intake group, fecal cholesterol concentration only was increased (p < 0.05). The fecal lactic acid concentration was significantly increased in 2.8 g/day intake group (p < 0.05). Serum trigly-ceride, cholesterol and glucose concentration were significantly decreased in 2.8 g/day intake group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, xylooligosaccharide dietary supplementation may be beneficial to gastrointestinal health and lipid metabolism, and 2.8 g/day intake was more effective than 1.4 g/day intake.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of routine haecho bibimbab (boiled rice with assorted seaweed mixtures) consumption on the bowel habits in humans. Forty free-living adults (female 38, male 2) participated in this study (mean age $41.2\;{\pm}\;7.5$). After a baseline survey on general characteristics, life style and dietary habits, the participants were asked to consume haecho bibimbab during two-week period for lunch. Habitual bowel movements were checked out every day by a questionnaire and nutrient intake was estimated by a 24-hour recalls before and after the study. After 2 weeks of clinical trial, the bowel habits had improved. Haecho bibimbab increased the number of bowel movements, changed hard stools into softer ones. It also lessen the sense of incomplete evacuation, and abdominal pain during defecation, increased water intake (p < 0.001) and improved gastrointestinal problem. The participants believed that haecho bibimbab was effective in improving their constipation symptoms and bowel habits (p < 0.01). Routine haecho bibimbab consumption tended to increase especially vitamin A, E and folate intake (p < 0.01). The present findings suggest that routine seaweed-based lunch meal (haecho bibimbab) consumption may improve bowel habits without side effects.
