본 연구는 자일로바이오스 함유 설탕 섭취가 젊은 여성의 변비 개선효과를 확인하기 위해 실시하였다. 20~29세 여성 31명을 대상을 이중맹검법을 적용하여 7% 자일로바이오스 함유 설탕 시료 (XBS, n = 15)와 7% 자일바이오스 함유 설탕을 포함한 커피믹스 시료 (XBS coffee mix, n = 16)를 1일 2회씩 6주간 섭취하도록 하였다. 시료 섭취 결과 배변 횟수는 시료 섭취 전 XBS 2.13회/주, XBS coffee mix 1.56회/주에서 시료 섭취 1주차부터 증가하여 시료 섭취 6주차에는 각각 3.73회, 3.56회로 증가하였다. 또한 XBS와 XBS coffee mix 시료 모두 섭취 후 배변의 양, 복부 잔변감, 복통의 증상이 유의적으로 개선되었고, 변비의 상태를 진단할 수 있는 CSS 점수 역시 시료 섭취 전 XBS 10.53점, XBS coffee mix 10.75점에서 시료 섭취 후 1주차부터 유의적으로 감소하였고, 시료 섭취 6주차에 XBS 7.22점, XBS coffee mix 6.51점으로 3점 이상 낮아졌다. 즉, 시료 섭취 전에 비해 시료 섭취 후 유의적으로 CSS 점수가 낮아진 것으로 보아 7% 자일로바이오스 함유 설탕 섭취가 변비를 지속적으로 개선하는 효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 설문조사 방법을 통해서 배변 및 변의 상태를 평가한 것으로 화학적 지표성분 변화에 대한 평가를 수행하지 않았다는 한계는 존재하나 설탕보완재 역할을 지닌 자일로바이오스를 7% 정도 설탕에 첨가할 경우 변비를 개선하는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나고 있으므로 시판되는 다양한 종류의 가공식품에 기능성 감미료로서의 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of abdominal aroma massage on constipation in college women with functional constipation. Methods: The participants were 24 college women residing in a dormitory of D college located in Gangwon Province. Thirteen were selected for the abdominal aroma massage group (experimental) and 11 for the simple abdominal massage group (control). The experimental treatment was abdominal aroma massage given 5 days a week for 2 weeks. The aroma massage was given using aroma oil mixed with lemon, lavender, rosemary, and cyprus with carrier oil. Weekly defecation frequency, length of time for defecation, and constipation assessment score were measured before the treatment and at 1 week, and 2 weeks after the treatment. Effects of the treatment were tested using repeated measures ANOVA with the SPSS program. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups, but there was a significant difference within the experimental group in length of time for defecation (1st and 2nd week) and in constipation assessment score (2nd week). Conclusion: Results of this study indicate that abdominal aroma massage is useful in relieving constipation and can contribute to the reduction of use of stool softeners, suppositories, or enemas. after different duration of experiment.

This study is to investigate consequent nutrient intake status, influence of body mass index(BMI), and fat distribution on the silk amino peptide(SAP) and dietary fiber supplementation. During 2 months of this research (January to March, 2002), 45 women aged 20yr – 30yr (average age 24.6yr) were selected as subjects. Nutrient intake was investigated by questionnaire, 24-hr recall method. Antropometric assessments of the subjects were investigated by SBIA method(Segmental bioimpedance assay, In body 3.0). The results are as follows: mean body weight 57.7kg, mean body height 161.9cm mean BMI 22.0, and mean food habit score was 8.47. Defecation frequency was increased by dietary fiber supplementation. Frequency of pain during defecation was significantly decreased by dietary fiber supplementation (p<0.01). Feeling of residual feces was significantly improved by dietary fiber supplementation(p<0.001). Status of energy and carbohydrate intakes significantly decreased after dietary fiber supplementation(P<0.05). Body fat and WHR(waist hip ratio) significantly decreased after dietary fiber supplementation(P<0.001), and percent body fat was decreased by dietary fiber supplementation, significantly(P<0.05). Above results of this study show that dietary fiber-added routine diet improves defecation condition, and lessens body fat, percent body fat without losing body muscle. Especially, declination of abdominal fat and WHR were notable. That meant decreased risk factor.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of meridian acupressure on constipation in bed-ridden aged inpatients. Methods: The research design was a non-synchronized non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The subjects consisted of 28 bed-ridden aged inpatients. Meridian acupressure was administered to the experimental group at 30 minutes before breakfast every morning for two weeks. Each meridian was pressured for 10 seconds, 10 times. The frequency of defecation and stool form were examined every day. The data was analyzed by the $x^2$-test, Fisher's exact test, t-test and repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The experimental group given Meridian Acupressure had a higher frequency of defecation(F = 59.372, p = .000) and normal stool(F = 46.046, p = .000) than the control group. Conclusion: The results suggest that Meridian Acupressure was an effective method for the relief of constipation for bed-ridden aged inpatients. A follow -up research is needed to validate that other patients with constipation can use the Meridian Acupressure as a non-invasive nursing intervention instead of a laxative or enema.

Purpose: This study was done to compare the effects of abdominal aroma massage and meridian massage on constipation and stress in college women with functional constipation. Methods: The participants were 38 college women, 18 were in the aroma group and 20 in the meridian group. The aroma massage was given using aroma oil which was a mixture of lemon, lavender, rosemary, and cyprus. The meridian massage was given at 9 accupoints which influence intestinal functions. The treatment was given 5 days a week for 4 weeks. A constipation severity score, weekly defecation frequency, and a stress response score were measured before and every week of 4 weeks of the experiment. Results: While there was no significant difference between two groups, there was a significant difference within the groups in the constipation severity (aroma group: 1st week, meridian group: except 4th week), defecation frequency (aroma group: 3rd week, meridian group: 2nd and 3rd week), and stress (aroma group: all weeks, meridian group: except 4th week) after different duration of experiment. Conclusion: Based on these results, both abdominal massages relieved constipation and stress. Resorting to either types of massage will contribute to the reduction of use of stool softeners, suppositories, or enemas.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report a therapeutic effects of a Korean herbal prescription for antibiotics-associated diarrhea. Methods : Modified Hyangsayukgunja-tang was prescribed once or twice a day to a antibiotics-associated diarrhea patient. To observe the therapeutic effects, the frequency of defecation was counted and Bristol Stool Form Index was used. Laboratory tests were conducted periodically. Results : The frequency of defecation was decreased from 9 times a day to once a day. According to Bristol Stool Form Index, stool form was improved from Type 7 to Type 5. The level of red blood cell, hemoglobin and albumin increased slightly from the day of admission to discharge. Conclusions : Hyangsayukgunja-tang can be a choosable treatment option for a serious antibiotics-associated diarrhea.

본 연구는 자일로올리고당을 설탕에 혼합하여 변비를 앓고 있는 젊은 여성을 대상으로 변비개선효과를 확인하였다. 평균연령 22.1세인 젊은 여성 56명을 대상으로 실험 1에서는 설탕을 플라시보로 하는 이중맹검 임상연구를 통해 자일로올리고당 0.7 g이 함유된 설탕 10 g (n = 19명) 또는 설탕 10 g (n = 19명)을 블랙커피와 함께 복용하도록 하였고, 실험 2에서는 자일로올리고당 0.4 g 함유한 설탕 5.6 g과 1.6 g의 커피, 4.8 g의 식물성 크림이 함유된 커피믹스를 1일 2회씩 6주간 섭취하도록 하였다 (n = 18명). 섭취결과 XOS군과 XOSmix군의 경우 섭취전 주간 배변횟수가 2.47회에서 섭취 1주째부터 증가하여 섭취 6주째에는 주간 배변횟수가 4.11회와 5.67회로 각각 증가하였다. XOS와 XOS 함유 커피믹스는 통계적으로 유의하게 복부 불쾌감과 잔변감을 개선하였으며, 배변횟수의 증가는 섭취초반 부터 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 XOS는 0.7 g의 적은양으로도 변비를 개선하는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나 음료에 기능성을 갖춘 감미료로서의 활용이 기대된다.

Objectives : These days, herbal acupuncture therapy is widely applied to many diseases and symptoms by Korean medical doctors in Korea. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effect of Carthami-Semen herbal acupuncture(CSHA) on chronic constipation. Methods : This single-blind placebo-controlled randomized parellel study enrolled 24 adults with chronic constipation. After one week's run-in period, they were randomly assigned to receive CSHA therapy, or placebo therapy for 4 weeks by 2 times per week. After completing 4 week's therapy, 2 week's follow-up period was continued. During study, defecation frequency, consistency and ease of evacuation were checked before study, every week and follow-up periods. Also, the VAS of constipation, quality of life(QoL) and heart rate variability(HRV : low frequency, high frequency) were checked 3 times totally. Finally, 21 subjects completed the protocol and 20 subjects were analyzed.(1 subject is excluded for analysis because of not following the protocol.) Results : In CSHA group, defecation frequency(continued after 1 week), consistency and ease of evacuation(at 1 week after and follow-up) were increased significantly. The VAS of constipation in CSHA group was significantly decreased. There was no significant change at QoL and HRV. Conclusions : CSHA therapy was effective in treating adults with chronic constipation. Study that have larger case number and longer follow up will be needed in the future.
