The aim of this study was to construct and test a structural equation model for the risk factors of metabolic syndrome in Korean adults. The structural equation model hypothesizes that eating alone and feeling depressed is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome. The data of this study were obtained from the Sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey which was cross-sectional data from the representative national survey. A total of 4,013 subjects replied to the survey item of lifestyle and completed the physical examinations among adults aged 19 years or older in South Korea was in 2015. The structural model in this study was composed of four latent variables: eating alone, depression, negative health behavior, and metabolic syndrome. Two variables, the rate of eating alone and depression, were exogenous variables. Negative health behavior was both a mediating variable and endogenous variable, and metabolic syndrome was the final endogenous variable. The data were analyzed using the Maximum Likelihood method and bootstrapping. The structural model was appropriate for the data based on the model fit indices. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: Eating alone is a direct risk factor of metabolic syndrome in Korean women. Depression can mediate metabolic syndrome through negative health behaviors. Negative health behavior had a direct impact on metabolic syndrome in both men and women. This study may be a guideline for interventions and strategies to reduce the incidence of metabolic syndrome in Korean adults.

Type-1 phosphatase (PP-1) was assessed in foot muscle (FM) and hepatopancreas (HP) of estivating (EST) Otala lactea. Snail PP-1 displayed several conserved traits, including sensitivity to inhibitors, substrate affinity, and reduction in size to a 39 kDa catalytic subunit (PP-1c). During EST, PP-1 activity in FM and HP crude extracts was reduced, though kinetics and protein levels of purified PP-1c isoforms were not altered. PP-1c protein levels increased and decreased in nuclear and glycogen-associated fractions, respectively, during EST. Gel filtration determined that a 257 kDa low $K_m$ PP-1$\alpha$ complex decreased during estivation whereas a 76 kDa high $K_m$ complex increased in EST. Western blotting confirmed that the 76 kDa protein consisted of PP-1$\alpha$ and nuclear inhibitor of PP-1 (NIPP-1). A suppression of PP-1 activity factors in the overall metabolic rate depression in estivating snails and the mechanism is mediated through altered cellular localization and interaction with binding partners.

The objectives of this study were to determine whether older Americans would provide valid energy intake information using a 24-hr recall method and to determine which characteristics were predictive of under-report of energy intake. We conducted 24-hour recalls on 83 male and 105 female community-dwelling older adults(66-87y) in the USA to assess energy(EI) and nutrient intakes. Basal metabolic rate(BMR) was calculated from age-and gender-specific equations of Schofield. Under-reporting was defined a priori as EI : BMR<0.9. Subjects volunteered demographic information, underwent depression and cognition exams, and completed a Level II Nutrition Risk Screen. Differences between under- and adequate-reporters were assessed using t-tests for characteristics and macro-nutrient profile. Stepwise regression analyses were used to predict under-reporting status. Under-reporting of EI occurred in 34% of the sample. Neither geriatric depression scale(GDS) score, nor self-reported weight loss were related to under-reporting. On average, under-reporters had higher body mass indices. The most significant variables for the main effect to predict the ratio of energy intake to estimated basal metabolic rate(EI : BMRest) were BMI and age. Using a standard cut-off of 76% of the recommended dietary allowances for Americans, under-reporters were consistently more likely to be classified as having inadequate nutrient, as well as energy, intakes.

Hypothermia is an essential preparatory procedure for cardiac surgery, which lows the metabolic rate and myocardial oxygen demand. However, hypothermia itself is a stress enough to change the tonus of sympathoadrenal system, especially the cardiovascular responses to the catecholamines. It is reported that the positive chronotropic and inotropic response of catecholamines is exaggerated during hypothermia because of decreased norepinephrine uptake at the junctional cleft or decreased catecholamine metabolism. On the other hand, there are evidences of diminished catecholamines responses in low temperature ana further, interconversion of adrenergic receptors is also suggested. Present investigation was planned to observe the cardiovascular changes and its responses to catecholamines during surface hypothermia in cat. Healthy mongrel cats, weighing $2{\sim}3\;kg$, anesthetized with secobarbital(30 mg/kg), were permitted to hypothermia by external cooling technic. Esophageal temperature, ECG (lead II), heart rate, left ventricular pressure with dP/dt, carotid artery pressure and left ventricular contractile force were monitored with Polygragh (Model 7, Grass), and the respiration was maintained with artificial respirator (V 5 KG, Narco). Followings are summarized results. 1) Surface cooling caused progressive decrease of body temperature and reached $l8.8{\pm}0.8^{\circ}C$ and $16.9{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C$ in 120 and 150 min respectively, after immersion into ice water, and ventricular fibrillation was developed at $20.4{\pm}0.65^{\circ}C$. 2) Heart rate, blood pressure and myocardial contractility were decreased after initial increase as the body temperature falls. 3) Systolic and diastolicdd P/dt of left ventricular pressure were decreased and that the decrement of diastolic dP/dt was more marked. 4) On ECG, ST depression, Twave inversion and prolongation of PR interval were prominent in hypothermia, and moreover, the prolongation of PR interval was marked just prior to the development of ventricular fibrillation. 5) The cardiovascular responses to catecholamines, especially to isoproterenol, were suppressed under hypothermia.

면역학이 발점함에 따라서 인간의 면역체계에 영향을 미치는 많은 요인들에 대한 수많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 연령, 영야상태, 스트레스, 질병, 비만, 고지혈증, 장애 등 무수히 많은 변인들이 면역방응에 직접적인 영향을 주고 있으나 운동 또한 상당한 영향력이 있어, 운동시 나타나는 면역 반응에 대하여 고찰하게 되었다. 규칙적인 운동은 초기면역과 그 이후의 적응면역을 증진시키며 특히 적응면역 중 세포 매개 면역반응과 항체매개 면역반응에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 이러한 운동도 몸의 상태가 건강하거나 몸에 맞는 운동을 규칙적으로 실시해야 효과적이며, 운동의 경험이 없거나 스트레스나 질병이 있는 상태에서의 운 동은 오히려 신체에 부담을 주어 면역력을 악화하는 결과를 초래하게 된다. 또한 일회성의 운동도 체력수준에 맞게 수행되어야 하는데, 장시간 너무 무리하게 수행하면 에너지 고갈과 함께 면역력의 감소를 초래하여 상기도 감염과 같은 질환을 야기하게 된다. 따라서 무리한 운동 후 'open window' 시기에 적절한 이온음료의 섭취, 영양분 공급 및 휴식은 건강 관리에 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 또한 수행한 운동이 규칙적이라 할지라도 운동은 운동 환경이나 선천적인 요소에 따라 운동 유발성 천식을 포함하는 운동 유발성 알레르기 질환을 야기하는 환경을 조성할 수 있으므로 본론에서 제시한 지식을 바탕으로 마라톤과 같은 장기간 운동 시 특히 주의해야 할 것으로 여겨진다.

In order to investigate experimentally the effects of Sung-yangikgibujat'ang (SIT) and Kwangyebujalijungt'ang (KBT) on Yang-insufficient syndrome (陽虛證) induced by Hydrocortisone acetate (H.A.) in experimental animals (Mice and Rat), the author experimented various activities. Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH), Rosette forming cells (RFC), hemagglutinin (HA) titers, Hemolysin (HL) titers, Body weight, Whole blood viscosity, Plasma Viscosity, Hematocrit, RBC, Albumin, Total protein, Triglyceride, cholesterol and Glucose were measured. The results summerized as follows; 1. In DTH and RFC all the experimental groups were increased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 2. In HA titers SIT_treated group were increased significantly and KBT-treated group showed increasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 3. In HL titers all the experimental groups showed increasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 4. In body weight all the experimental groups showed increasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 5. In whole blood viscosity all the experimental groups were decreased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 5. In whole blood viscosity all the experimental groups were decreased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 6. In plasma viscosity KBT-treated group were decreased significantly and SIT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 7. In Hematocrit SIT-treated group were decreased significantly and KBT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 8. In RBC, albumin and cholesterol all the experimental groups were decreased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 9. In total protein and triglyceride KBT-treated group were decreased significantly and SIT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 10. In Glucose SIT-treated group were decreased significantly and KBT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. From above findings, it has been demonstrated that Sungyangikgibujat'ang and Kwangyebujalijungt'ang seem to produce the effectiveness on the recovery from depression of the cell-mediated immune response, blood circulation and energy metabolic rate, induced by Hydrocortisone acetate, and in the humoral immune response Sungyangikgibujat'ang have the effectiveness on the recovery, and in cellular component of blood Sungyangikgibujat'ang was more effective than Kwangyebujalijungt' ang, and in plasma of blood Kwangyebujalijungt'ang was more effective than Sungyangikgibujat'ang. Therefore it is suggested that Sungyangikgibujat'ang and Kwangyebujalijungt'ang have the effectiveness on the recovery from Yang-insufficient syndrome more or less.

본 연구의 목적은 장기간에 걸친 에어로빅 댄스운동이 70세 이상인 고령 여성의 신체조성, 체력 및 인지기능 및 우울정도를 포함하는 심리적인 요인에 대해서 유의미한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구에 참여한 피험자들은 전원이 70세~85세인 고령여성이었으며, 실험군의 경우에는 운동경력이 평균적으로 9.2 ± 4.6년으로써, 주당 2 ~ 3회 정도의 에어로빅 운동을 꾸준히 수행한 자들로 이루어져 있는 반면에, 대조군의 경우에는 이렇다 할 규칙적인 운동을 수행하지 않은 자들이었다. 본 연구를 수행한 결과, 내장지방량, 복부지방율(%), 체수분량 및 수축기 혈압 값 등에서 대조군에 비해 유의미한 건강증진 효과가 관측되었다. 또한, 체력 요인의 경우에는, 에어로빅 운동군의 유연성, 평형성 및 보행기능 값이 대조군에 비해서 유의미하게 더 높은 값을 나타내었다. GDS 값의 경우에는 대조군에 비해서 에어로빅 운동군이 유의미하게 더 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 두 종류의 심리적인 요인인 MMSE 값과 GDS값이 다른 신체측정 변인들과 유의미한 상관관계를 나타내는지를 분석한 결과에서는, MMSE 값의 경우에는 단지 신장에 대해서 유의미한 역 상관관계를 나타낸 반면에, GDS 값의 경우에는 안정시 심박수, 우측 허리 유연성 및 좌측과 우측의 악력에 대해서는 유의미한 음의 상관관계를 나타내었고, 수축기 혈압 및 보행기능 값에 대해서는 유의미한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 결론적으로, 70세 이상의 고령 여성을 대상으로 하는 장기간에 걸친 에어로빅 운동은 대사적인 면에서 내장지방 면적과 수축기 혈압을 감소시킬 뿐 아니라, 낙상을 예방할 수 있는 건강 체력을 증진시키고, 우울증상을 경감시켜서 긍정적인 기분을 나타내게 하는 등의 다방면에 걸친 유익한 건강증진 효과를 나타낸 것으로 사료된다.
