현재, 우리나라 당뇨병의 유병률은 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있으며 당뇨병의 유병기간이 길수록 각종 합병증이 발생하여 더욱 심각한 증상을 나타내는데, 그 중 비만 및 고혈당, 당대사장애로 인한 당뇨병성 혈관합병증과 말초 혈관 경화증이 많이 발병하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 광혈류량 측정법(Photoplethysmography)으로 손가락 및 발가락에서 얻어진 맥파의 2차 미분분석을 통해 연령이 비슷한 정상인 50명과 당뇨병으로 확진된 50명의 말초 혈관 탄성도를 객관적으로 비교하고자 하였다. PPG 파형의 2차 미분 분석에 사용되는 평가 인자는 a, b, c, d, e 이고, b/a는 혈관의 탄성도를 의미하며 탄성도가 떨어질수록 b/a의 절대 값은 감소하게 된다. 정상인 50명의 PPG 2차 미분 b/a값은 $-1.09{\pm}0.14$, 당뇨병 환자 50명의 PPG 2차 미분 b/a값은 $-0.81{\pm}0.09$로 정상인에 비해 당뇨병 환장의 말초혈관 탄성도가 감소하였으며, Independent t-test 검정 결과 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 본 연구에서는 PPG 파형의 2차 미분 분석을 통하여 정상인과 혈관합병증 발병율이 높은 당뇨병 환자의 말초혈관 탄성도를 비교하였으며, 향후 비침습적이고 간단한 방법으로 당뇨병 환자의 말초혈관 탄성도와 혈관 경화정도를 객관적으로 평가하고 진단함으로써 당뇨병 환자들의 심혈관계질환 사전예방과 치료효과 판정에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

The objective of this study is to verify the effects of Moosim-Gi-Gong Doinbeop on low back pain targeting low back pain patients hospitalized in Korean medicine hospitals. For the study, 44 adult female and male patients hospitalized with low back pain at M Korean Medicine Hospital and H Korean Medicine Hospital located in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province were recruited. The subjects had a temperature difference between left and right 湧泉(KI1) of over 0.5℃ through infrared thermographic imaging, and 23 of them were classified in the control group for retrospective analysis based on the test records. Infrared thermographic imaging, X-ray pelvic AP view - standing position, a sit-and-reach test and a VAS survey were employed for detection, and IBM SPSS Statistics 24 for the statistical process. The results were rounded down to three decimal places as in an average±standard deviation, and the significance level was 0.05 to be evaluated significant if p<0.05. The result of the study is as follows: 1. In the comparison between before and after conducting Moosim-Gi-Gong Doinbeop, the meaningful difference was shown in the experimental group in all indicators. But Indicators except for the temperature difference between right and left 湧泉(KI1)(difference between before and after) and In displaced pelvic correction indicators on the X-ray showed a significant difference in the control group. 2. As for the variation widths of the experimental group and the control group, the former showed significant temperature differences between 印堂(EX-HN3) and 關元(CV4) and right and left 湧泉(KI1); difference variations of anteflexion; and changes in PI and In displacement on the X-ray. 3. As for changes in the experimental group according to demographic characteristics, gender, age and degree of obesity did not show significant differences in all indicators. However, those who experienced back pain for more than six months in the experimental group showed the biggest body temperature differences between 印堂(EX-HN3) and 關元(CV4), while other indicators had no significant difference. As a result, patients who received Korean medicine treatment showed relieved back pain and improvement in pelvic correction and sports activity; however, those who got Moosim-Gi-Gong Doinbeop together showed more clearer improvement effects in pelvic correction and sports activity.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the effects of low-calorie diets(LCD) for 8 weeks of medical nutrition therapy in individuals with BMI in excess of $23\;kg/m^2$. 41 over-weight or obese individuals (male=14, female=27, age $28.6{\pm}8.9\;yrs$), none of whom were diagnosed with a medical disease, were administered MNT 4 times over the study period. Approximately $1,100{\sim}1,300\;kcal/day$ were prescribed by a dietitian, via individualized counseling. Anthropometric parameters, daily nutrient intake, and blood levels of leptin, insulin, and lipid profiles were measured prior to and after the 8 weeks of the intervention period. We noted significant reductions in body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), abdominal skin-fold thickness, and waist circumference in both men and women. The mean body weight losses in men and women were $3.2{\pm}0.6\;kg$/8 weeks and $2.8{\pm}0.6\;kg$/8 weeks, respectively. However, the % of lean body mass (LBM) in men and women was shown to increase significantly (p<0.05). The daily intake of calorie, fat, protein, vitamin E, folate, and iron were significantly reduced during the LCD period. Blood levels of lipids and glucose were in normal range, and evidenced no changes after LCD. However, the serum levels of leptin in female subjects were significantly reduced (p<0.00l) from $8.9{\pm}4.8\;ng/mL$ to $6.9{\pm}4.8\;ng/mL$. In conclusion, 8 weeks of LCD with individualized counseling by a dietitian effectively reduced body fat and visceral fat in both men and women with BMI in excess of $23\;kg/m^2$.

Objective: To investigate adverse pregnancy outcomes in non-obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) compared with obese-PCOS and control groups. Methods: Women with PCOS who underwent assisted reproductive technology (ART) from August, 2003 to December, 2007, were considered. A total of 336 women with PCOS were included in the study group and 1,003 infertile women who had tubal factor as an indication for ART were collected as controls. They were divided into four groups: a non-obese PCOS group, obese-PCOS group, non-obese tubal factor group, and obese tubal factor group, with obesity defined by a body mass index over 25 kg/$m^2$, and reviewed focusing on the basal characteristics, ART outcomes, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Results: There was no difference among the groups' the clinical pregnancy rate or live birth rate. Regarding adverse pregnancy outcomes, the miscarriage rate, multiple pregnancy rate, and prevalence of preterm delivery and pregnancy induced hypertension were not different among the four groups. The incidence of small for gestational age infant was higher in the PCOS groups than the tubal factor groups ($p$ <0.02). On the other hand, the morbidity of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was not high in the non-obese PCOS group but was in the obese groups. And in the obese PCOS group, the newborns were heavier than in the other groups ($p$ <0.02). Conclusion: Non-obese PCOS presents many differences compared with obese PCOS, not only in the IVF-parameters but also in the morbidity of adverse pregnancy outcomes, especially in GDM and fetal macrosomia.

우뭇가사리(Gelidium amansi)는 홍조류로서 우뭇가사리과(Gelidiaceae)에 속한다. 현재까지 우뭇가사리의 항산화 및 항비만 효과 등의 기능들이 연구되었으나 식후 혈당 수치에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Gelidium amansii extract (GAE)가 탄수화물 가수분해 효소(${\alpha}-glucosidase$, ${\alpha}-amylase$)에 미치는 억제 효과 및 streptozotocin (STZ)으로 유도된 당뇨병 마우스의 식후고혈당에 미치는 완화효과를 조사하였다. 정상군과 STZ으로 유도된 당뇨병 마우스에 수용성 전분(2 g/kg body weight)을 경구투여한 후 GAE (300 mg/kg body weight) 또는 acarbose (100 mg/kg body weight)를 단독 또는 함께 투여하였다. 혈당은 꼬리채혈을 통해 0, 30, 60, 120분 간격으로 측정하였다. ${\alpha}-glucosidase$와 ${\alpha}-amylase$에 대한 GAE의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 각각 $0.099{\pm}0.009mg/ml$와 $0.178{\pm}0.038mg/ml$의 결과값을 나타내어, 양성대조군인 acarbose보다 더 효과적이었다. STZ으로 유발된 당뇨병 마우스의 식후 혈당 수치는 대조군에 비해 GAE 투여 시 유의적으로 더 낮았다(p<0.05). 또한 GAE 투여는 당뇨병 마우스에서 포도당 반응에 대한 곡선하면적 감소와 관련이 있었다(p<0.05). 이러한 결과는 GAE가 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, ${\alpha}-amylas$와 같은 탄수화물 가수분해 효소를 억제함으로써 식후 고혈당을 완화시키는 유용한 천연기능성 식품이 될 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: Diabetes and obesity each increases mortality, but recent papers have shown that lean Asian persons were at greater risk for mortality than were obese persons. The objective of this study is to determine whether an interaction exists between body mass index (BMI) and diabetes, which can modify the risk of death by cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: Subjects who were over 20 years of age, and who had information regarding BMI, past history of diabetes, and fasting blood glucose levels (n=16 048), were selected from the Korea Multi-center Cancer Cohort study participants. By 2008, a total of 1290 participants had died; 251 and 155 had died of CVD and stroke, respectively. The hazard for deaths was calculated with hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) by Cox proportional hazard model. Results: Compared with the normal population, patients with diabetes were at higher risk for CVD and stroke deaths (HR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.33 to 2.56; HR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.20 to 2.76; respectively). Relative to subjects with no diabetes and normal BMI (21 to 22.9 $kg/m^2$), lean subjects with diabetes (BMI <21 $kg/m^2$) had a greater risk for CVD and stroke deaths (HR, 2.83; 95% CI, 1.57 to 5.09; HR, 3.27; 95% CI, 1.58 to 6.76; respectively), while obese subjects with diabetes (BMI ${\geq}25kg/m^2$) had no increased death risk (p-interaction <0.05). This pattern was consistent in sub-populations with no incidence of hypertension. Conclusions: This study suggests that diabetes in lean people is more critical to CVD deaths than it is in obese people.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the weight control behaviors, the degree of fatness and dance major on behalf of finding the effects of eating disorders. 779 female high school students, 283 dance major students and 496 general major students, were participated in the study. A self-reporting type of questionnaire survey was conducted during the period from $6^{th}$ May to $18^{th}$ April of 2005. Collected data were processed using SPSSW in 12.0; they were analysed through frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results of this study are as follows : 1. With regard to the level of eating disorders(EAT-26), 33.9% of risk group of eating disorder female dance students, and 13.7% of risk group of eating disorder female general major students. Weight-control behaviors in this research were 1) weight control concerns, 2) weight control trial, 3) weight control methods (prescription of M.D., ways of weight control), 4) eating habits. First, 56.6% of subjects had high concerns about weight control, and 92% of subjects had tried weight control. Second, only 5.1% of subjects were prescribed by M.D. Third, subjects had been using wrong methods(25.7%) of weigh control such as fasting, using drugs, vomiting, wearing laps etc. Fourth, 42.7% of the subjects had bad eating habits. The degree of fatness was as follows: 1) BMI(Body Mass Index), 2) self report about weight 3) distorted body image. Depending upon the BMI, the subjects with obesity were not found in female dance students; Comparatively, 36.9% of dance students were fat and 1.4% of the students were very fat. In terms of distorted body image, only 14.9% of all subjects were the same between the subjective degree of fatness and the objective degree of fatness. 2. As a result of multiple regression, six variables were found significant($R^2=11.6%$, P < 0.01). Concerns about the weight control significantly influenced on eating disorders(EAT-26). At the same time, major(dance), wrong methods of weight control, distorted body image, prescription of M.D, and eating habits had significantly influenced on eating disorders. This results indicates that the risk of eating disorders among female dancer students was very high. Therefore, professional intervention is needed for female dance students to prevent the eating disorders.
