Objectives: Previous observations propose that risk-taking behaviors such as cigarette smoking are prevailing among young people with chronic conditions including diabetes. The purpose of this study was to examine whether cigarette smoking is more prevalent among diabetics than non-diabetics and whether it differs by age at the time of diagnosis with diabetes from young adulthood (YAH) to adulthood (AH). Methods: We used US panel data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health Study) during the years 2001 to 2002 (Wave III, YAH) and 2007 to 2008 (Wave IV, AH). Multivariate logistic regression models were applied to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of cigarette use behaviors according to age at the time of diagnosis with diabetes, after adjusting for demographic and selected behavioral factors. Results: Of 12 175 study participants, 2.6% reported having been diagnosed with diabetes up to AH. Early-onset diabetics (age at diagnosis <13 years) were more likely than non-diabetics to report frequent cigarette smoking (smoking on ${\geq}20$ days during the previous 30 days) in YAH (OR, 3.34; 95% CI, 1.27 to 8.79). On the other hand, late-onset diabetics (age at diagnosis ${\geq}13$ years) were more likely than non-diabetics to report heavy cigarette smoking (smoking ${\geq}10$ cigarettes per day during the previous 30 days) in AH (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.03 to 2.30). Conclusions: The current study indicated that diabetics are more likely than non-diabetics to smoke cigarettes frequently and heavily in YAH and AH. Effective smoking prevention and cessation programs uniquely focused on diabetics need to be designed and implemented.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of smoking conditions on the in vitro toxicological activity of mainstream smoke. The 2R4F reference cigarette was machine-smoked by International Organization for Standardization(ISO) and Canadian Intense(CI) conditions. Smoke was analysed for chemical composition and in vitro toxicity. The cytotoxic potencies of both the total particulate matter(TPM), which were collected in Cambridge filter pad, and gas/vapor phase(GVP), which was bubbled through in phosphate-buffer saline in a gas-washing bottle, were assessed neutral red up take assay with chinese hamster ovary(CHO) cells. The assessment for genotoxicity of TPMs generated under ISO and CI conditions was determined using Salmonella mutagenicity assay and in vitro micronucleus assay. When calculated on an equal TPM basis, in vitro toxicity of TPM obtained under CI condition was decreased compared to TPM generated under ISO condition. The results of chemical composition analyses revealed that the lower toxicological activity under CI condition than that of ISO condition could be explained by the decreased in the contents of phenols, N-nitrosoamines and aromatic amines of TPM on an equal TPM basis.

Background: Previous studies report that apoptosis and autophagy are involved in the pathogenesis of emphysema, and macroautophagy is one of the processes regulating the apoptosis pathway. However, few studies have evaluated whether chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) contributes to the regulation of apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the impact of autophagy, including both macroautophagy and CMA, on the apoptosis in bronchial epithelial cells. Methods: Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) was injected intratracheally into C57BL/6 mice, and emphysema and apoptosis were evaluated in the lungs. After treatment with CSE, apoptosis, macroautophagy, and CMA were measured in BEAS2-B cells, and the impact of autophagy on the apoptosis was evaluated following knockdown of autophagy-related genes by short interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Results: Intratracheal CSE injection resulted in the development of emphysema and an increase in apoptosis in mice. CSE increased the apoptosis in BEAS2-B cells, and also elevated the expression of proteins related to both macroautophagy and CMA in BEAS2-B cells. The knockdown experiment with siRNAs showed that macroautophagy increases apoptosis in BEAS2-B cells, while CMA suppresses apoptosis. Conclusion: The intratracheal injection of CSE induces pulmonary emphysema and an increase in apoptosis in mice. CSE also induces apoptosis, macroautophagy, and CMA of bronchial epithelial cells. Macroautophagy and CMA regulate apoptosis in opposite directions.

본 연구는 연소담배와 비교해 서로 다른 가열담배(heated tobacco products, HTPs) 사용 시 혈역학적 지표들의 급성 반응을 비교하고, 급성 HTPs 에어로졸 노출이 심장 자율신경조절(cardiac autonomic regulation, CAR)에 미치는 영향을 탐색하려는 목적으로 수행되었다. 또한, 서로 다른 연초 스틱 간 급성 심혈관 효과의 비교 검증을 목표로 하위연구를 설계했다. 외관상 건강한 남성 흡연자 16명은 개방표지, 무작위 교차시험으로, 최소 48시간 세척기간과 함께 비-흡연(non-smoking, NS), 담배 흡연 및 서로 다른 두 가지 HTPs 사용 세션을 각각 수행했다. 하위연구는 NS와 함께 서로 다른 두 가지 연초 스틱 간 급성 심혈관 효과를 비교하기 위해, 참여자 중 8명을 대상으로 실시되었다. 수축기와 확장기 혈압 및 CAR을 반영하는 심박변이도(heart rate variability, HRV)가 각 세션 시작 전, 제품 사용 중 그리고 사용 후 30분까지 평가되었다. NS 동안 혈역학적 변화는 통계적 차가 없었으나, HTPs 에어로졸에 급성 노출은 담배 연기와 상응하는 수축기와 확장기 혈압의 유의한 증가를 초래했으며, 이들 지표에서 HTPs 기기 간 통계적 차는 없었다. 연소담배와 HTPs 사용 후 통계적으로 유의한 심장 교감신경활동(cardiac sympathetic nerve activity, CSNA)의 급성 증가와 심장 미주신경 긴장도(cardiac vagal tone, CVT)의 급격한 저하가 나타났다. 사용 기기와 독립적으로 HTPs 사용에 따른 CSNA와 CVT 반응은 연소담배와 통계적 차가 없었다. 서로 다른 두 가지 연초 스틱은 NS와 비교해 혈역학적 지표들의 유의한 증가를 유도했으나, 연초 스틱 간 통계적 차는 없었다. CVT는 두 가지 연초 스틱 사용에 따라 유의하게 감소했으며, 연초 스틱의 종류에 따라 CVT 저하에 통계적 차가 있었다. 이상의 결과들은 HTPs 에어로졸 노출이 사용 기기와 독립적으로 연소담배와 동등한 급성 심혈관 효과를 유도할 수 있으며, 연초 스틱의 종류에 따라 급성 CAR 저하가 강화될 수 있음을 시사한다.

연구 배경 : 우리나라에서는 다른 나라에 비해 약초 등을 이용해 만든 흡연대용품으로 금연을 시도하려는 흡연자들도 많고 이에 따라 여러 가지 다양한 제품 등이 판매되고 있는데 이들의 기관지, 폐에 대한 안정성에 관한 연구는 아직 부족한 상황이다. 특히 흡연자중 일부는 이런 금연 보조제를 사용하는 과정에서 이들을 상용하게 되어 시판되는 금연 보조담배의 장기적 사용시 인체의 안정성 여부에 대한 연구는 중요하리라 사료된다. 방 법 : 일반담배 및 금연 보조담배 3종의 담배연기추출물(cigarette smoke extract, CSE)을 기관지 상피세포에 24시간 노출 후 배양액에서 IL-6를 측정하였고 일반담배 및 허브담배, 쑥담배 노출 후 세포에서 IL-6 m RNA를 측정하여 비교하였다. 항산화 효과를 가진 N-acetyl-L-cysteine(NAC)를 일반 담배 및 금연보조담배 추출물에 함께 투여해 IL-6의 증가 억제여부를 보았다. 결 과 : 대조군에 비해 일반담배 및 금연보조담배3종에서 기관지 상피세포에 노출 시에 모두 의미 있는 IL-6증가를 관찰할 수 있었고, IL-6 m RNA도 같은 경향으로 증가 하였다. NAC를 함께 투여 시 일반 담배 및 허브담배 금연초에서는 IL-6의 증가를 의미 있게 억제하였지만 쑥담배에서는 억제하지 못하였다. 결 론 : 현재 우리나라에서 시판되고 있는 금연 보조담배 3종(허브담배, 쑥담배, 금연초)은 일반담배처럼 기관지 상피세포에 염증을 유발할 수 있어 장기적 사용시 인체의 안정성 여부에 대한 연구는 중요하리라 사료된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the prediction of sensory property of smoke from the leaf chemical property and characterize leaf chemical components for the best tobacco taste's leaves in burley tobacco. For analytical and sensory evaluations, sixteen grades were used. The major leaf chemical components to predict the sensory property of smoke were ether extract for tobacco-like, chloride for impact and total nitrogen/nicotine for irritation. Within ${\pm}20\;%$ range of difference, the predictable probabilities of sensory property of smoke from the leaf chemical properties were 100 % for tobacco-like, impact and irritation. As a result of K-means cluster analysis on the basis of tobacco taste, the desirable leaf chemical component contents were $6.5{\sim}6.8\;%$ in ether extract, $0.25{\sim}0.30\;%$ in chloride and $1.26{\sim}1.54$ in total nitrogen/nicotine ratio. This study suggest that the some regression equations may be useful to predict the sensory components of tobacco smoke from a few selected leaf chemical properties in burley tobacco and to select the burley tobacco leaves for enhance the tobacco taste of cigarette.

female smoking especially in the population of teenage girls is regarded as an important health problem as the young female smokers are increasing sharply. We surveyed 895 teenage girls(15-19 years of age) living in a rural community in Korea for their cigarette smoking habits and the relationship between smoking status of subjects demographic variables and view on other's smoking. Of the subjects 11.6% stated that they were currently smoking and 67.3% of current smokers began smoking regularly sometimes before high school. The average smoking period of current smokers waas 20.6$\pm$1.5 mounts and they smoked 7.5 cigarettes/day on an average. Their main reason for starting to smoke was curiosity. The parents attitude for their offspring was more undemocratic in smokers. Smokers had lower academic sachievement and they had the family system such as single parent more undemocratic in smokers. Smokers had lower academic achievement and they had the family sysstem such as single parent family or divorced parent family more often than did non-smokers. Smoking status of subjects was positively related to that of their parents siblings and friends respectively. Smokers accepted others' smoking more positively than did non-smokers. Above results show that cigarette smoking is prevalent among teenage girls living in a rural community and smoking of subjects are affected by demographic variables and their view on others' smoking. Therefore the prevention the prevention programs aimed at adolescent smoking should be started before middle school and they should be included all influencing environmental factors such as family school and mass media.

Cigarette smoke contains oxidants and free radicals which are carcinogens that can induce mutations in humans. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most frequent genetic alterations found in the human genome. In the present study, we have examined the ability of the murine double minute 2 (Mdm2) (rs769412) A>G polymorphism in cigarette smokers to predict risk of cancers. Our results showed that of smokers, 87% were found with AA genotype, 10% with heterozygous AG genotype, and 3% with GG genotype. The heterozygous AG genotype was observed in a lower percentage of smokers (10%) as compared to non-smokers (18%), whereas, homozygous AA genotype was observed in lower percentage of non-smokers (81%) as compared to the smokers (87%). The results from present study support the association with an allele and AG genotype in non-smokers. However, further studies are required to establish the role of Mdm2 (rs769412) C>T in cigarettes smokers and diseases.

E-cigarettes were considered safe at the early stage of market entry because they were thought not to contain harmful ingredients such as nicotine and because the smoke emitted was vapor. For this reason, the use of e-cigarettes as a safer alternative to tobacco cigarettes or as a smoking cessation aid has emerged. However, the study results on the effectiveness of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation are mixed. In response to the increased use of e-cigarettes, foreign countries have implemented various regulations, such as utilizing e-cigarettes for smoking cessation with a prescription in Australia; however, South Korea is still standing firm on recommending not to use e-cigarettes at all. Therefore, the effectiveness of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation and the regulatory trends of e-cigarette use overseas will be reviewed to discuss the future direction in South Korea needs to take.
