The purposes of this study were to investigate changes in serum lipid levels with age and gender, and to determine which factors affect the serum lipid profiles. The anthropometric parameters(height, weight, waist girth, hip girth) and biochemical status(cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-chol.) were measured for clinically normal adults(male 89, female 91) in Yeongdong area. The results are as follows: 1. The obesity index was significantly higher in female($115.2{\pm}15.2%$) than in male($109.9{\pm}13.4%$), but waist/hip girth ratio(WHR) was significantly higher in male ($0.89{\pm}0.05$) than in female($0.81{\pm}0.06$). 2. Male subjects had higher triglyceride and atherogenic index and lower HDL-cholesterol and relative cholesterol than those of female subjects. 3. Prevalences of hypercholesteolemia, hypertriglyceridemia and hypoHDL-cholesterolemia were 9.0%, 9.0%, 14.6% respectively in male and 9.9%, 2.2%, 4.4% in female. 4. WHR positively correlated with serum cholesterol, TG, LDL/HDL and A.I., and negatively correlated with HDL-chol. and relative chol. Correlation analyses indicated that WHR seemed to be more closely associated with serum lipid levels(rather than obesity index). 5. Age showed positive correlations with waist girth, WHR, cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, LDL/HDL and A.I., but negative correlations with height, body weight and relative cholesterol. 6. There was significant differences in TG concentration between drinker($169.3{\pm}130.0mg/dl$) and non-drinker($111.4{\pm}64.5mg/dl$), and smoker($165{\pm}103.6mg/dl$) and non-smoker ($110.8{\pm}39.0mg/dl$). That is to say that as risk factors for hyperlipidemia are obesity index, serum lipid concentration, life style(such as alcohol drinking and smoking) and age. Specially major risk factors are drinking, smoking and regulated exercise in male and age is an important risk factor in female.

Purpose: Vitamin D is a fundamental element for bone metabolism. Recently vitamin D deficiency has been implicated in various diseases such as a cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancers. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with serum vitamin D deficiency among women office workers. Methods: We selected 369 women office workers using the secondary data of the 5th National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey 2010-2012. Data was analyzed by logistic regression of complex sampling design. Results: Women office workers with vitamin D deficiency, defined serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration < 10ng/mL, were 12.5%. The risk factors for vitamin D deficiency were 20s aged group, married state and more than 40 working hours a week. The risk of vitamin D deficiency was decreased in those with alcohol drinking 1 to 4 times a month. The education level, income, region, smoking, physical activity and sun exposure time did not affect the risk of vitamin D deficiency significantly. Conclusion: Development of vitamin D deficiency prevention educational programs are required for women office workers who more than 40 hours a week in 20s. It should be considered health education including sun exposure duration and behavior.

This study was conducted to determine the kinetics of cyclohexane metabolites (the biomarker on cyclohexane exposure), the changes of hepatic cyclohexane metabolizing enzyme activities and the metabolites of cyclohexane in urine or serum. The rats were sacrificed at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hr after administration of one dose of cyclohexane (1.56 g/kg body weight, i.p.). The metabolites of cyclohexane in urine were identified as cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, trans-l,2-cyclohexanediol and 1,4-cyclohexanediol with cyclohexane metabolite being 124.00, 0.78, 23.28 and 2.75 (g/g of creatinine, $1\times10^{-3}$). Most of the cyclohexanol and trans-l,2-cyclohexanediol were determined to be in the form of $\beta-glucuronide$ conjugates, whereas cyclohexanone and 1 ,4-cyclohexanediol were found as free forms. In toxicokinetics of serum cyclohexane metabolites, cyclohexanol showed a rapid increase, reaching the plateau at 4 hr, after this time rapidly decreased throughout 24 hr. Changes of cyclohexanone also showed the similar pattern with cyclohexanol except somewhat lower concentration. Trans-l,2-cyclohexanediol, however, showed a gradual increase until 12 hr with the continued same levels throughout 24 hr. On the other hand, 1,4-cyclohexanediol was detected as trace levels at 4 and 12 hr, respectively. The administration of cyclohexane led to a significant increase of hepatic aniline hydroxylase activity from 2 to 8 hr. The activity of hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase showed a significant increase at 4 hr and then were recovered to the level of the control at 24 hr. On the other hand, there were no differences in liver weightlbody weight between the control and cyclohexane-treated animals. However, there were the changes of aniline hydroxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase activities on time-dependent pattern after cyclohexane treatment, which influence on the degree of cyclohexane metabolites both in blood and urine. These results suggest that differential determination of cyclohexane metabolites in urine and serum may be able to be as a biomarker of cyclohexane-exposure in the body. But in this fields further study is needed.

Along with psychosocial factors of suicide, biological backgrounds of suicide are explored by extensive works mostly on biological markers, neurobiological models, genetic bases, and relationships with aggression and violence. The biology of suicide confers on neurotransmitters in central nervous system exploring metabolites, receptor binding affinities, neuroendocrine challenge tests in brain, cerebrospinal fluid, blood and etc. The major concerns with suicide are focused mainly on serotonin system : low CSF 5-HIAA concentration, higher $5-HT_2$ receptor binding, and blunt prolactin response to fenfluramine. Postmortem study, in vivo study, genetic contributions, and some other issues such as suicidal methods, serum cholesterol, alcohol, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are reviewed and discussed.

본 연구에서는 생쥐(ICR)에서 고지방식이 및 만성알코올 섭취 시 황금 열수추출물이 면역지표에 미치는 영향을 관찰한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 실험동물의 체중은 사육기간이 지남에 따라 증가하였으며 각 군 간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 섭취한 총칼로리와 식이효율은 고지방식이와 알코올 섭취군에서 유의적으로 높았다. 혈청 Ig A 농도는 고지방식이와 알코올 섭취군에서 가장 높았으며 황금 열수추출물에 의한 효과는 볼 수 없었다. 혈청 Ig E 농도는 고지방식이와 알코올 섭취군에서 유의적으로 높았으며 황금 열수추출물이 알코올의 영향을 경감시켰다. 그러나 식이에 따른 차이는 보이지 않았다. 혈청 TNF-$\alpha$, IFN-$\gamma$, IL-$1{\beta}$는 군 간에 유의적인 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 비장 임파구 배양 상층 중 Ig A는 고지방식이+알코올+황금 열수추출물 섭취군과 고지방식이+알코올 섭취군에서 유의적으로 높았다. 비장 임파구 배양 상층액 Ig E 농도는 일반식이군과 고지방식이+알코올+황금 열수추출물 섭취군에서 유의적으로 높았다. 비장 임파구 배양 상층의 TNF-$\alpha$, IFN-$\gamma$는 고지방식이+알코올 섭취군에서 유의적으로 높았다. IL-$1{\beta}$는 고지방식이+알코올 섭취군과 고지방식이+알코올+황금 열수추출물 섭취군에서 유의적으로 낮았다. 혈청 cytokine과 달리 Con A로 자극한 비장 임파구 배양 상층액에서 cytokine의 분비 변화는 알코올과 고지방식이 섭취가 잠재적인 영향을 주는 것으로 사료된다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 생쥐에서 알코올 및 고지방 섭취가 immunoglobulin(Ig A, Ig E)과 proimflammatory cytokine(TNF-$\alpha$, IFN-$\gamma$)을 증가시키는 부정적인 역할 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 황금 열수추출물이 이를 개선하는 효과를 보였다.

Objectives: This study was performed in order to evaluate whether 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) could be detected among residents living near Camp Caroll in Waegwan and whether serum concentrations of dioxins, including 2,3,7,8-TCDD, and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are associated with length of residence. Methods: Study subjects totaled 113 (for dioxins) and 190 (for OCPs) adults who were selected from participants in a medical investigation. Serum concentrations of dioxins and OCPs were measured using HRGC/HRMS. Information on length of residence was obtained through questionnaires. Results: 2,3,7,8-TCDD was not detected in serum among all subjects. When length of residence was classified as a categorical variable, after adjusting for confounding variables, only residents living in Waegwan for 40 years or longer tended to have high total TEQ values and 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF with marginal significances. There was no dose-response relation between length of residence and serum concentrations of these chemicals. In multiple regression models with continuous values of the length of residence, total TEQ value and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF were positively associated with length of residence. However, they explained about 3-5% of total variations of serum concentrations of these compounds, while age, consumption of fatty fish, body mass index, alcohol drinking, and cigarette smoking were main variables affecting serum concentrations of dioxins or OCPs. Conclusions: In the current study, high concentrations of certain compounds were mainly observed among persons who lived in Waegwan for at least for 40 years without a dose-response relation. Therefore, it seems difficult to conclude that length of residence meaningfully contributed to the current serum concentrations of dioxins or OCPs among residents in Waegwan. However, considering the half-life of 2,3,7,8-TCDD and indirect exposure routes, the limitations of the current study design should be considered in the interpretation of the study findings.

옥수수 글루텐 가수분해물(corn gluten hydrolysates, CGH)의 알코올 대사 및 간 기능 보호효과에 대한 효과를 알아보았다. 즉, 흰쥐에게 4주간 시료를 함유한 알코올을 경구투여함에 의해 간 손상을 유도시키고, 혈액 중 생화학적 간 기능 지표(ALP, GOT, GPT), 간세포 내 항산화 효소(SOD, GPX, catalase)와 지질과산화물(MDA) 및 알코올 대사와 관련된 효소(ADH, ALDH, MEOS)의 활성을 조사하였다. 또한 알코올 섭취에 따른 경시적인 ethanol과 acetaldehyde 농도에 대한 시료의 효과를 분석하였다. 알코올성 간 손상을 입은 흰쥐의 체중변화 및 간 중량에 대한 에탄올 투여 및 CGH의 효과는 보이지 않았으며, 식이섭취량은 정상군에 비해 CGH 섭취군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 알코올 섭취로 증가된 혈중 ALP 활성은 CGH 처치로 30% 감소한 반면, GOT 및 GPT 활성은 유의적인 변화를 보이지 않았다. 알코올성간 손상에 따른 체내 항산화 반응계 중 catalase 효소활성은 알코올 투여군에 비해 CGH 처리군에서 79%까지 유의적으로 감소하였다. ADH 활성은 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, ALDH 활성은 알코올 투여 대조군에 비해 CGH군에서 20% 정도 유의적으로 증가하였다. 특히, CGH는 MEOS활성에 대해 농도 의존적으로 작용하여 3% CGH을 급여한 그룹에서는 알코올 투여 대조군에 비해 20%까지 활성이 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 알코올 단회 투여에 따른 경시적인 혈액 중 ethanol 농도는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 그러나 acetaldehyde 농도는 CGH 투여에 의해 급격히 감소하였고, 시간에 따른 곡선 하 면적으로 환산한 결과, 약 60% 정도 감소한 효과를 보였다. 이상과 같이, CGH는 알코올대사과정 중 ALDH 및 MEOS 활성에 작용하여 체내 알코올성 간 손상에 대한 간 기능 보호효과와 함께 ethanol 대사산물인 acetaldehyde의 체내 배출을 촉진시키는 기능성 소재로 활용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

A rapid, simple and sensitive LC/MS/MS method for the determination of lercanidipine in human serum was validated and applied to the pharmacokinetic study of lercanidipine. Lercanidipine and internal standard, amlodipine, were extracted from human serum by liquid-liquid extraction with hexan-isoamyl alcohol (100: 1, v/v) and analyzed on a $Symmetry^{(R)}$ MS $C_{18}$ column with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.2% aqueous formic acid (70: 30, v/v). Using MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, lercanidipine and amlodipine were detected without severe interferences from human serum matrix. Lercanidipine produced a protonated precursor ion ($[M+H]^+$) at m/z 612.3 and a corresponding product ion at m/z 280.0. Internal standard produced a protonated precursor ion ($[M+H]^+$]) at m/z 409.0 and a corresponding product ion at m/z 238.0. The ruggedness of this method was investigated using quality control (QC) samples. This method showed linear response over the concentration range of 0.05-20 ng/mL with correlation coefficient greater than 0.999. The lower limit of quantitation using 0.5 mL of serum was 0.05 ng/mL, which was sensitive enough for pharmacokinetic studies. The overall accuracy of the developed method ranged from 85.51 to 112.2% for lercanidipine with overall precision (% C.V.) being 3.56-13.1%. This method showed good ruggedness (within 15% C.V.) and was successfully applied for the analysis of lercanidipine in human serum samples for the pharmacokinetic studies, demonstrating the suitability of the method.
