Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by the clustering of obesity, impaired glucose metabolism, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, and is predictive for development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The high prevalence of MetS is a serious health problem, especially among obese adolescents. Because insulin resistance and obesity play a central role in MetS, treatment of MetS should be primarily focused on improving insulin sensitivity and weight reduction. Nutritional therapy of MetS aims to reduce the intakes of saturated fat and free fructose, and increasing the intakes of dietary fiber, unsaturated fat, and antioxidant nutrients may also be beneficial.

목 적 : 소아에서의 비만은 성인 비만으로 이행되기 쉽고 합병증으로 고지혈증, 고혈압, 당뇨, 관상동맥질환, 지방간 등이 초래될 수 있어 비만의 정확한 진단과 함께 예방이 필요하다. 이에 저자들은 비만을 측정하는데 있어서 보다 객관적이고 정확한 생체전기 저항법과 다른 계측치간의 상관성을 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 7세에서 18세 사이의 초등학교, 중학교, 고등학교 학생 1,035명을 대상으로 하였다. 신장과 체중을 측정한 후 BMI를 구하였고 상완 둘레는 견갑골의 견봉과 주두의 중간 지점에서 줄자를 이용하여 측정하였다. ST 두께는 Holtain/Tanner-Whitehouse skinfold 캘리퍼로 견갑골하 부위와 삼두근 부위에서 피부주름 두께를 측정하였고 생체전기 저항은 InBody 2.0(Biospace, Seoul, Korea) 제품을 사용하여 각 대상에서 근육량, 제지방량(lean body mass), 체지방율, 복부 지방율을 측정하였다. 생체전기 저항법과 체질량지수, 피지 두께법 사이의 상관 관계를 구하였고, 같은 성별과 연령에서 생체전기 저항법에 의한 체지방율 85 백분위수와 95 백분위수 이상인 군을 각각 양성군으로 하였을 때 ST와 BMI가 체지방을 예측할 수 있는 민감도 및 특이도를 구하였다. 결 과 : 1) 생체전기 저항법과 피지 두께에 의한 체지방율의 상관계수는 0.835, 생체전기 저항법과 BMI와의 상관계수는 0.749로 비교적 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 2) 같은 성별과 연령에서 생체전기 저항법에 의한 체지방율 85 백분위수 이상을 양성군으로 하였을 때 85 백분위수 이상의 ST가 체지방을 예측할 수 있는 민감도는 69.9%, 특이도는 94.5%이었다. 3) 같은 성별과 연령에서 생체전기 저항법에 의한 체지방율 95 백분위수 이상을 양성군으로 하였을 때 95 백분위수 이상의 피지 두께가 체지방을 예측할 수 있는 민감도는 57.7%, 특이도는 97.6%이었다. 4) 같은 성별과 연령에서 생체전기 저항법에 의한 체지방율 85 백분위수 이상을 양성군으로 하였을 때 85 백분위수 이상의 BMI가 체지방을 예측할 수 있는 민감도는 81.8%, 특이도는 96.9%이었다. 5) 같은 성별과 연령에서 생체전기 저항법에 의한 체지방율 95 백분위수 이상을 양성군으로 하였을 때 95 백분위수 이상의 BMI가 체지방을 예측할 수 있는 민감도는 84.9%, 특이도는 99.3%이었다. 결 론 : 생체전기 저항법에 의한 체지방 측정은 ST와 BMI와 상관성이 높았으며, 생체전기 저항법에 의한 체지방 측정은 객관적이고 정확하고 특별한 기술을 필요로 하지 않는 장점이 있어 비만 진단에 유용하리라 생각된다. Purpose : Obesity is a significant health problem with medical and psychological consequences for children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between body fat percent using bioelectrical impedance(BI) and other variable methods. Methods : We measured height, weight, body mass index(BMI) and body fat percent by skinfold thickness(ST) and BI in 1,035(496 male; 539 female) children from seven to 18 years of age. The correlation coefficients between BI and each of the other different methods were obtained. The sensitivity and specificity to predict obesity by these several methods were studied. Results : Fat percent estimated by BI analysis and BMI showed a strong correlation(r=0.749). Fat percent estimated by BI analysis and ST showed a very strong correlation(r=0.835). At the 95th percentile cut-off point for BI, ST showed a sensitivity of 57.7%, and a specificity of 97.6% for estimating body fat. At the 95th percentile cut-off point for BI, BMI showed a sensitivity of 84.9%, and a specificity of 99.3% for estimating body fat. Conclusion : The fat percent estimated by BI analysis correlated strongly with ST or BMI. BI analysis is an objective and accurate method for estimating body fat in childhood obesity.

Worldwide, diarrhea remains one of the most common illnesses among children. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is the cornerstone of diarrhea treatment. Yet, the rates at which ORT is used are still disappointingly low. Additional treatment interventions include antimotility drugs, antisecretary drugs, adsorbents, probiotics, antibiotics, oral immunoglobulin, micronutrient supplementation. Drugs are generally not necessary. However, selected probiotics may reduce the duration and intensity of diarrhea. Zinc is beneficial especially to malnourished children with diarrhea. Antibiotic treatment is effective mainly in shigella and cholera infection. Other drugs may be effective but require further investigations.

The uptake of glucose for metabolism and growth is essential to most animal cells and is mediated by glucose-transporter (GLUT) proteins. The aim of this study was to determine which class of glucose transporter molecules was responsible for uptake of glucose in the mouse early embryo and at which stage the corresponding genes were expressed. In addition, co-culture system with vero cell was used to investigate the effect of the system on GLUT expression. Two-cell stage embryos were collected from the superovulated ICR female and divided into 3 groups. As a control, embryos were cultured in 0.4% BSA-T6 medium which includes glucose. For the experimental groups, embryos were cultured in either co-culture system with vero cells or glucose-free T6 medium supplemented with 0.4% BSA and pyruvate as an energy substrate. 2-cell to blastocyst stage embryos in those groups were respectively collected into microtubes (50 embryos/tube). Total RNA was extracted and RT-PCR was performed. The products were analysed after staining ethidium bromide by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. Blastocysts were collected from each group at l20hr after hCG injection. They were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde, stained with hoechst, and mounted for observation. In control, GLUT1 was expressed from 4-cell to blastocyst. GLUT2 and GLUT3 were expressed in morula and blastocyst. GLUT4 was expressed in all stages. When embryos were cultured in glucose-free medium, no significant difference was shown in the expression of GLUT1, 2 and 3, compared to control. However GLUT4 was not expressed until morular stage. When embryos were co-cultured with vero cell, there was no significant difference in the expression of GLUT1, 2, 3 and 4 compared to control. To determine cell growth of embryos, the average cell number of blastocyst was counted. The cell number of co-culture ($93.8{\pm}3.1$, n=35) is significantly higher than that of control and glucose-free group ($76.6{\pm}3.8$, n=35 and $68.2{\pm}4.3$, n=30). This study shows that the GLUT genes are expressed differently according to embryo stage. GLUTs were detectable throughout mouse preimplantation development in control and co-culture groups. However, GLUT4 was not detected from 2- to 8-cell stage but detected from morula stage in glucose-free medium, suggested that GLUT genes are expressed autocrinally in the embryo regardless of the presence of glucose as an energy substrate. In addition, co-culture system can increase the cell count of blastocyst but not improve the expression of GLUT. In conclusion, expression of GLUT is dependent on embryo stage in preimplantation embryo development.

Helicobacter pylori 감염 소아에서 위점막 면역반응

염혜원,서정완 대한소아청소년과학회 2008 Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics (CEP) Vol.51 No.5

Purpose:Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common gastrointestinal infections worldwide; it almost invariably causes chronic gastritis. Pediatric studies may provide important insights into the mucosal immune response of H. pylori-infection, as children are not submitted to environmental factors such as alcohol, tobacco and anti-inflammatory medication. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mucosal immune response against H. pylori in clinically well-defined groups: H. pylori-positive (divided into peptic ulcer disease and gastritis) and H. pylori-negative control. Methods:Antral biopsies were obtained from 45 children undergoing an upper GI endoscopy for dyspeptic symptoms. T cells (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+) and B cells (CD20+) were analyzed by quantitative immunohistochemistry. The correlation of lymphocyte subsets of gastric mucosa with histology was evaluated. Results:T cells (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+) and B cells (CD20+) were significantly increased in the lamina propria of H. pylori-positive group (P<0.01). CD8+ T cells were significantly increased in the lamina propria of the H. pylori-positive peptic ulcer disease (P<0.01). Within the epithelium, only CD4+ T cells were significantly increased in the H. pylori-positive group (P<0.01). Gastric histological parameters had a closer correlation with lymphocytes in the lamina propria than intraepithelial lymphocytes. Conclusion:This study suggests that both T cells and B cells in the lamina propria play important roles in the local immune response of H. pylori-infected children. Furthermore, it remains to be elucidated whether CD8+ T cells in the lamina propria may contribute to peptic ulcer formation in H. pylori-infected children.

Low-Level Laser Therapy including Laser Acupuncture for Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain : Protocol for a Systematic Review

염혜원,남동우 대한침구의학회 2019 대한침구의학회지 Vol.36 No.4

Background: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) including laser acupuncture (LA) has been widely used to treat chronic low back pain (CLBP), but there is no critically appraised evidence of the potential benefits. The purpose of this protocol for a systematic review was to enable the evaluation of the effectiveness of LLLT including LA for non-specific CLBP to identify the potential benefits. Methods: The electronic databases MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (Ovid), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Korean medical databases (KoreaMed, KMBASE, KISS, NDSL, KISTI, OASIS), the Chinese database (CNKI), and Japanese databases (CiNII, J-STAGE) are recommended. Results: Randomized controlled trials in LLLT including LA should be included in the searches. All data synthesis and subgroup analyses should be conducted using a Review Manager software. The Cochrane risk of bias tool can be used to evaluate methodological quality of the studies. A risk ratio or mean difference with a 95% confidence interval will show the effects of LLLT including LA. Conclusion: The primary outcome would be pain intensity and functional status/disability due to low back pain. The secondary outcome would be a global measurement of recovery or improvement, quality of life and adverse event.
