BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The anti-obesity effect of quercetin-rich onion peel extract (OPE) was suggested in rats, but information from human studies is limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of OPE on the body composition of overweight and obese subjects. MATERIALS/METHODS: In this 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, parallel clinical trials were performed in overweight and obese Korean subjects. Randomly assigned subjects were instructed to take daily either the placebo (male, 6 and female, 30) or OPE capsules containing 100 mg of quercetin (male, 5 and female, 31). Body composition was measured by using bioimpedance and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Resting energy expenditure (REE) and respiratory quotient (RQ) were evaluated by using indirect calorie measurement methods. Fasting blood levels of glucose, insulin, lipids, and leptin were determined. RESULTS: Quercetin-rich OPE supplementation significantly reduced the weight and percentage of body fat as measured by DXA (P = 0.02). These effects were not shown in the control group. Levels of blood glucose (P = 0.04) and leptin (P = 0.001 for placebo, P = 0.002 for OPE) decreased in both groups. Significant increases in REE and RQ were observed in both groups (P = 0.003 for placebo, P = 0.006 for OPE) and in the OPE group alone (P = 0.02), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Quercetin-rich OPE supplementation changed the body composition of the overweight and obese subjects. This result suggests a beneficial role of the anti-obesity effect of OPE human subjects.

The aim of this study was to investigate influence of body build on body composition, energy metabolic state and insulin concentration of blood. 29 male athletes and 36 male non-athletic students were recruited for the study. Anthropometry including chest depth and breadth, fat mass, fat fee mass, tricep skinfold thickness were measured. fasting glucose, lactate, triglyceride, fee fatty acid, and insulin concentration in serum were measured . Body build was assessed using metric index, which calculated by regression equations of Mohr and Greil. The athletic and non-athletic students were allocated to 3 body build, that is leptomorph, mesomorph, and pyknomorph. Resting metabolic rate was calculated. Respiratory quotient was determined through ratio of measured VO$_2$, and V$CO_2$. Most non-athletes have a leptomorphic body build, in contrast to athletes mesomorphic type. The body build type influenced body composition differently between non-athletic group and athletic group. Weight, body mass index, body fat mass and fat mass proportion (%), and fat-free mass increased from leptomorph to pyknormorph in non-athletic group. Pyknormorphic athletes have a significant higher body mass index, fat mass, fat free mass than other body build type. Serum glucose, triglyceride, lactate, insulin showed significant differences only in non-athletic group between leptomorph and mesomorph. RMR increased significantly from leptomorph to mesomorph in non-athletes. There was no significant difference of RQ among 3 body build types in both athletes and non-athletes. This study gives a coherent data on body build and body composition for athletes and non-athletes students. The influence of body builds on energy metabolic status of serum was different between athletes and non-athletes.

The treatment of sulcus vocalis and vocal bowing has been commonly used Thyroplasty Type surgery or injection within vocal folds such as Teflon, silicone, collagen. However, and treatment has not been acquired satisfactory treatment effect. This study was conducted to demonstrate voice therapy effect using singer's vocal technique and respiratory training. 4 patients (1 male, 3 females) with sulcus vocalis or bowing, with or without scar were selected for this study and we compared with acoustic, aerodynamic measures and stroboscopy observation before and after voice therapy. The results showed that 1) case 1 (48yr, male) with sulcus vocalis decreased F0 (Fundamental Frequency), increase CQ(Close Quotient) and high degree of satisfaction but not improved voice quality after voice therapy. 2) case 2(19yrs, femal) with mild sulcus vocalis improved as normal voice quality after voice therapy. 3) case 3(38yrs, female) with functional bowing showed abnormalvocal contact before therapy whereas CQ was increased after voice therapy. 4) case 4(27yrs, female) with vocal atrophy and vocal bowing changed normal range of Fo and increased CQ after voice therapy. Even though contact area of both vocal folds was increased and lowered F0 after voice therapy, current outcomes revealed that normal voice quality was not regained. These results might signify that it was difficult that vocal folds couldn't be recovery of symmetry and viscoelastic property of mucosal wave through voice therapy. However, it was difficult for this study to maintain voice therapy so that evaluate effect of voice therapy for long-term. Further study will be needed to long-term follow-up for voice therapy with these patients.

An experiment was carried out to assess the effects of xylanase supplementation on the performance, net energy and gut microflora of broilers fed a wheat-based diet. Day-old male broiler chicks were allocated to two dietary treatments. Each treatment was composed of six replicate cages of seven broilers per cage. The diets were wheat-based and offered as mash. The treatments included i) basal diet deficient in metabolizable energy; and ii) basal diet supplemented with a commercial xylanase added at 4,000 U/kg feed. Bird performance, nutrient utilization and gut microbial populations were measured. Heat production and net energy were determined using an auto-control, open circuit respiration calorimetry apparatus. Results showed that exogenous xylanase supplementation improved feed conversion efficiency (p<0.05) and increased diet AME (+4.2%; p<0.05), as well as heat production (HP), net energy for production (NEp), production of $CO_2$, and consumption of $O_2$. The respiratory quotient (RQ) was also increased (p<0.01) by the addition of xylanase. NEp value was increased by 26.1% while daily heat production per kg metabolizable body weight was decreased by 26.2% when the xylanase was added. Xylanase supplementation numerically increased the ileal digestibility of protein and energy by 3 and 6 percentage units respectively (p>0.05). The ileal digestibility of hemicellulose was significantly improved by xylanase addition (p<0.05).

Corn silk (Okmi-su) was anciently adopted as a material for tea or beverage. Corn silk extracts (CSE) contain bioactive phytochemicals such as phenolic acid, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, tannins, and glycosides. Under the impact of these functional components, CSE has benefits for antioxidation, diuresis, anti-diabetes, and dyslipidemia recovery. Nonetheless, its role in whole-body adiposity was not investigated; therefore, the effects of CSE on obesity were evaluated in high-fat diet-induced obese mice. Mice were assigned to either group (n=12); 1) normal diet (18% kcal from fat), 2) high-fat diet (45% kcal from fat, the control), 3) high-fat diet with CSE (800 mg/kg diet), and 4) high-fat diet with orlistat (500 mg/kg diet, a comparable control for weight loss). Our results showed that body weight, adiposity, and energy expenditure in obese mice were not altered by CSE. Lean body mass tended to decrease by CSE, which can be explained by stimulation of diuresis (p=0.06). In conclusion, our results suggest that dietary consumption of CSE does not influence the adiposity and underlying substrate utilization in high-fat diet-induced obese mice.

Background: Most of the previous researches on the abnormality of breathing pattern have focused on the silence of functional movements owing to such abnormality, however, have not been clearly identified the relationship between the abnormal breathing pattern on one hand and kinesiophobia and flexion relaxation phenomenon (FRP) on the other hand. Objective: To compare patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and healthy person in the abnormality of breathing pattern, kinesiophobia, and FRP during flexion and extension of the trunk. Design: Case-control study. Methods: The research subjects consisted of a group of 15 healthy adults and another group of 15 patients with CLBP. Capnography was used to measure the endtidal $CO_2$ ($EtCO_2$) and respiratory quotient (RQ). The muscle activity of multifidus and erector spinae of the subjects was measured during flexion and extension of the trunk to identify their FRP. The Nijmegen Questionnaire (NQ) and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) were utilized to measure their breathing patterns and kinesiophobia, respectively. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test was conducted in order to analyze the normal distribution of the measured data. Their general characteristics were identified by the descriptive statistics and the independent t-test was performed to identify the differences between the two groups in terms of abnormality of breathing pattern, kinesiophobia, and FRP. The level of significance was set at ${\alpha}=.05$. Results: The patients with CLBP had significantly less $EtCO_2$ and shorter breathing hold time (BHT) than normal healthy person (p<.05). The patient with CLBP also had significantly greater kinesiophobia than healthy person (p<.05), and had less FRP than the healthy person (p<.01). Conclusions: These results suggest that the CLBP had greater abnormality of breathing pattern and kinesiophobia with less FRP than healthy person.

Purpose: Nutritional therapy in the intensive care unit is an essential factor for patient progress. The purpose of this study was to compare resting energy expenditure (REE) calculated by prediction equations (PEs) to the REE measured by indirect calorimetry (IC) in trauma patients. Methods: Patients admitted to the trauma intensive care unit who received mechanical ventilation between January and December 2015 were enrolled. REE was measured by IC (CCM Express, MGC Diagnostics) and calculated by the following PEs: Harris-Benedict, Fleisch, Robertson and Reid, Ireton-Jones, and the maximum value (25 kcal/kg/day) of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN). All patients were ventilated at a fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) below 60%. Results: Of the 31 patients included in this study, 24 (77.4%) were men and seven (22.6%) were women. The mean age of the patients was 49.7±13.2 years, their mean weight was 68.1±9.6 kg, and their mean Injury Severity Score was 26.1±11.3. The mean respiratory quotient on IC was 0.93±0.19, and their mean FiO2 was 38.72%±6.97%. The mean REE measured by IC was 2,146±444.36 kcal/day, and the mean REE values calculated by the PEs were 1,509.39±205.34 kcal/day by the Harris and Benedict equation, 1,509.39±154.33 kcal/day by the Fleisch equation, and 1,443.39±159.61 kcal/day by the Robertson and Reid equation. The Ireton-Jones equation yielded a higher value (2,278.90±202.35 kcal/day), which was not significantly different from the value measured using IC (p=0.53). The ESPEN maximum value (1,704.03±449.36 kcal/day) was lower, but this difference was likewise not significant (p=0.127). Conclusions: The REE measured by IC was somewhat higher than that calculated using PEs. Further studies are needed to determine the proper nutritional support for trauma patients.

연구배경 : 혈중 유산농도를 측정함으로써 결정되는 무산소역치(유산역치)는 관혈적이라는 제한점이 있어, 운동부하시 유산증가에 수반되는 환기적부하에 반응하는 여러환기지표에서 비관혈적으로 무산소역치 (환기성역치)를 측정하는 방법들이 제시되어 있고, 이들에는 환기 당량법, 종말호기 산소분압법, V-경사법, 호흡지수법 등이 알려져 있다. 무산소역치를 반영하는 환기성 역치의 타당도에 관하여 논란이 없는 것은 아니지만, 일관성있는 방법적 신뢰도가 유효하다면 운동능력 평가에 있어서 환기성역치의 유용성이 인정된다는 일반적인 의견이다. 그러나 이미 환기장애가 초래되어 있는 만성기도폐쇄를 보이는 환자에서는 운동증가에 따르는 유산증가에 대처하는 환기반응이 적절하지 못하므로 환기성역치가 무산소역치를 반영하지 못한다는 지적이 었다. 만성기포폐쇄를 보이는 환자에서 상기한 네가지 환기성역치 측정방법들의 역치검출율과 신뢰도를 확인하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 12명의 정상대조군과 17명의 만성기도폐쇄 환자군을 대상으로 증상제한적 최대운동부하검사(정상군 : 25 W/min, 만성기도폐쇄군 10 W/min)를 실시한 후 환기당량법, 종말호기산소분압법, V-경사법, 호흡지수법 등에 의해 환기성역치를 구한 후 상관계수를 구하여 유의성을 검증하였다. 결 과 : 각 환기성역치 측정방법에 의한 역치 검출율은 정상대조군에서 호흡지수법이 100%, 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법이 91.7%로 같은 빈도를 보였고, V-경사법은 83.3%의 빈도를 보여 점반적으로 비교적 높은 빈도의 검출율을 보인 반면, 만성기도폐쇄군에서 호흡지수법이 94.1%로 가장 높았으나 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법이 64.7%의 같은 검출빈도로 정상대조군에 비해 현저히 감소되었고, V-경사법은 83.3%로 정상대조군과 검출율에 있으서 같은 빈도를 보였다. 각 환기성역치 측정방법들의 유의성을 검증한 결과 정상대조군에서는 호흡지수법을 제외한 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법, 그리고 V-경사법 등간에 모두 유의한 상관관계를 보인 반면 만성기도폐쇄군애서는 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법사이에서만 상관계수가 0.9860으로 정상대조군에서처럼 매우 높은 일치도를 보였고 나머지 방법들간에는 그 어느 조합도 유의한 상관관계를 확인할 수 없었다. 결 론 : 호흡지수법은 매우 예민하지만 신뢰성이 떨어지는 방법이고, 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법은 거의 유사한 방법이며, 환기능이 정상인 사람에서는 환기성역치 측정이 무산소역치를 반영하는 유용성이 었다고 판단되지만 만성기도폐쇄 환자에서는 그 유용성이 떨어진다고 생각된다.

최근 우리나라에 있어서도 후두미세수술의 발달로 음성외과 분야에 대한 관심이 높아졌으며 음성장애 환자의 진단 및 치료면에서도 괄목할 만한 발전을 가져왔다. 우리는 작금의 음성외래에서 진단되는 음성장애 환자중에서 특히 성대의 유리연(遊離緣)을 따라서 평행하는 선상(線狀)의 성대구 (聲帶溝)를 보게되는데 이와같이 성문의 폐쇄부전을 동반하는 성대구증 (Sulcus Vocalis)은 1901 년 Salvi에 의해서 처음으로 명명보고된 이래로 유럽과 일본등에서 다수 보고된 바있으나. 우리나라에서는 비교적 관심이 적었던 질환으로 그 뚜렷한 원인과 치료에 대해서는 아직도 정설이 없는 상태이다. 이에 본 교실에서는 1981년 5월부터 1982년 3월까지 본원 음성언어연구실로 내원한 성대구증환자 35예에 대하여 일련의 음성검사를 시행하여 약간의 치험을 고찰한 바 있기에 그 결과를 보고하는 바이다. 1 ) 발생 빈도는 음성 장애를 주소로 내원한 290 예의 환자 중 35예로써 약 12 %였다. 2) 발병연령은 10세 이하에서 19예 (54%)로 가장 많았으며 다음은 10대, 20대의 순이였다. 3 ) 발병연령은 대부분의 예에서 불명이었으나 4예에서는 홍역 후에, 3예에서는 심한 감기 후에 병발했으며, 2 예는 선천적인 것으로 사려되었다. 4) 예중 25예 (71 %)에서 양측성이었고, 좌,우 편측성인 경우가 각각 8예 (23 %), 및 2예 (6 %)였다. 5 ) 임상증상은 거의가 애성을 주소로 하고 있었으며 7 예에서는 만성후두염을 동반하고 있었다. 6 ) 공기역학적검사에서는 20 예(57 %)에 서 최대발성지속시간 (Maximal Phonation time)이 감소되어 있었고, 발성율(發聲率, Phonation Quotient)은 22예(63 %)에서 증가되었으며, 발성시평균호기유율(Mean Air Flow Rate)은 23예 (66 %)에서 증가되었다. 7 ) 스트로보스코피(Stroboscopy) 를 시행할 수 있었던 33예 중 31예 (93%)에서 성문폐쇄부전 (glottic chink)이 있었으며 양측성대의 진동성은 거의 전례에서 규칙적 (regular)이었고, 4예(12 %)에서 비대칭(asymmetric)이었으며, 진폭 (amplitude) 은 5 예 (21 %)에서 감소되었으며, 점막파동(mucosal wave) 은 24 예 (73 %)에서 감소되었다. 8) 치료로서 상기 환자중 5예에서 성대내 테프론(Teflon) 주입을 실시하였고 1예에서 성대구절제술(Sulcusectomy)를 실시하였는데 테프론을 주입한 1예에서 증상의 호전이 있었을 뿐 다른 예에서는 효과가 뚜렷치 않아서 앞으로의 원격성적이 요망되었다.
