성인 당뇨병 환자의 대부분인 제 2형 당뇨병에서 운동은 혈당을 낮추며, 혈압을 저하시키며, 체중을 감소시키고, 체내 지방질을 좋아지게 하며, 심장$\cdot$혈관$\cdot$신경계 및 망막합병증을 감소시킨다. 또 인슐린 감수성을 증가시키고 당화혈색소를 10$\~$20$\%$ 감소시키는 등 당뇨병의 근원적 치료에 기여한다. 또 인슐린 주사를 맞아야 하는 제 1형 당뇨병 환자가 운동을 하면 인슐린 주사를 줄이거나 맞지 않을 수 있다.

Whitening agents are eagerly demanded especially by oriental women who often suffers from the pigmentary disorders such as melasma and solar lentigines. As these pigmentary disorders are exacerbated by ultraviolet (UV), the whitening agents could exert its effect not only by inhibiting melanin synthesis but also by inhibiting UV activated signals. Eumelanin protects UV-induced DNA damages so that the chemicals which could reduce UV-induced DNA damages might be the ideal lightening agents. The effect of newly synthesized antioxidants, a-tocopheryl ferulate, on protective effect for UV-induced DNA damages as well as inhibiting melanin synthesis are briefly shown. For clinical evaluation, our results of the efficacy of lightening agents on treating pigment macules in combination with chemical peeling are shown. Furthermore, newly developed facial image analyzers to quantitatively evaluate the improvement of pigment macules are introduced.

본 연구에서는 고압산소치료 후 포유동물의 피부에서 Melanin 세포의 생성이 줄어들었음을 이미 보고된 바 있고, 치료 후 전층 피부이식 생존율을 높였고, 또한 인체의 피부 진피층 확인은 더 많은 임상데이터가 필요하나 고압산소치료 후 표피면의 변화는 빠른 시간에 확인 할 수 있다고 판단됨으로 이에 피부진단기의 기준면과의 평행(parallel polarization) 이미지로 피부표피의 변화를 확인 하고자 했다. 본 연구의 고압산소챔버를 활용한 피부표피에 대한 분석 및 실험 결과, 주름살 및 상처(Wrinkle & Scar) 분석에서 피실험자 남자1 3%, 남자2 2%, 여자1 5.9%, 여자2 2.3%로 피실험자 모두 감소 현상을 보여 피부 탄력도가 좋아 지는 효과를 보였다. 피부미백(S-Gray) 분석에서는 피실험자의 피부 표피면의 멜라닌 및 에리즈마 색소의 피부 톤이 남자1 1.1%, 남자2 2.3%, 여자1 4% 로 피실험자 4명 중 3명은 상승 효과를 얻었으나, 피실험자 다른 1명인 여자2는 2.3% 하향의 결과가 나타났다. 홍도(Erythema) 분석, 피실험자 정상인 부위인 D.BLUE/BLUE 값이 남자1 5.6%, 남자2 4.9%, 여자1 17.3%, 여자2 15.3% 증가 현상을 보였으며 남자와 여자의 효과 차이가 10% 이상으로 나타낸 것으로 보아 남자 보다는 여자가 우세한 것으로 판단되었으며, 비정상인 에리즈마 색소(민감도)의 비정상인 부위인 YELLOW/RED 컬러 값에서 남자1 5.2%, 남자2 5%, 여자1 9.2%, 여자2 4.5% 감소 하였음을 보였다. 이에 피실험자 모두 에리즈마인 민감성 산소치료에 따른 피부에 미치는 영향이 효과가 있는 것으로 판명되었다.

Purpose: Gingival whitening is one of dental treatment purposes which is close to treating aesthetic disorders. Initial gingival whitening treatment was done by dermabrasion using a high power Diode Laser. However, this treatment method cannot be free from any infection or pain after the treatment. Therefore, we have decided to progress gingival whitening treatment using a low power LED laser. Materials and Methods: The laser was irradiated on pork meat then the safety of output power, temperature change and skin denaturalization was measured. Bison 365 nm LED laser was irradiated on oral mucosal pigment of a 15 - 20 kg beagle for 15 min for 1 - 2 weeks, one or two times each. Any pigment loss was checked through Hematoxyline-Eosin staining. Results: The melanin pigments at the area of 365 nm LED Laser irradiation were decreased. Conclusion: The 365 nm LED Laser proposed in this study is considered to compensate the bleaching effect achieved by either using Diode laser or surgical methods.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare proliferative disease involving synovial membranes. Natural history and etiology of PVNS are not well known. PVNS presents as localized or diffuse tumor like nodular lesion of the synovial lining of the joint and the synovial spaces adjacent to the joints. Though histologically benign, it is a very aggressive lesion, capable of bone destruction and widespread infiltration of surrounding tissues. Standard therapy is surgical resection, but due to the infiltrative growth, the recurrence rate is significantly high. After several relapses surgical treatment of diffuse PVNS becomes difficult and may require amputation of the involved limb. Radiotherapy can provide an effective treatment option for patients with large lesions or lesions which are not suitable for surgery, after incomplete resection to prevent relapses or to avoid amputation. We report 2 cases of diffuse PVNS in the knee joint treated with arthroscopic gross total synovectomy and radiotherapy.

This study aimed to find health related lifestyle factors that influence glycemic control for diabetes mellitus (DM) management strategies. This study used nested case-control design with matching variables that were not controlled by individuals such as age, sex, insulin or oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA) use, disease duration, education level and household income. This study analyzed 983 subjects with type 2 DM who enrolled in the $7^{th}$ (2016-2017) Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). The target HbA1c level of controlled glucose was defined as less than 6.5%, and 289 (30%) were achieved. Conditional multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to find self-control factors associated with HbA1c levels. The results statistically significant for variables such as duration of diabetes, insulin or OHA use in overall cohort and body mass index (BMI), smoking and fundus Examination in matched cohort. These results are expected to provide as evidence for the intensive care criteria(disease duration, drug use) and lifestyle management strategy(BMI, smoking, fundus examination).

Pigmented villonodular synovitis most commonly occurs in the knee joint and rarely extends into the popliteal space, which not only has mimicked Baker's cyst but also has been misdiagnosed as malignant tumor. We report a case of a diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis of knee joint which is extended into the popliteal space as like a popliteal cyst. We treated this case by arthroscopic total synovectomy and excision of cyst. There was no recurrence during more than one year after operation.

Stem-cell therapy has the potential to improve vision in patients with untreatable retinal disease. Various types of cell source including fetal, embryonic and adult stem cells, intrinsic and extrinsic factors for differentiation into retinal progenitors and transplantation mode were discussed in this review. Experimental approaches have successfully induced photoreceptor precursor cells and retinal pigment epithelium. Stem-cell-based therapy is a promising treatment to restore vision in patients with retinal disease, in spite of the challenges.

The extensive variation in human cutaneous pigmentation is mainly due to differences in the rate of melanin synthesis by epidermal melanocytes, the relative amounts of eumelanin and pheomelanin synthesized, and the manner and rate of transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes. Pigmentation is a complex trait that is regulated genetically and environmentally. One gene that has been receiving a lot of attention is the gene for the melanocortin 1 receptor The extensive polymorphism of this gene in human populations suggests its significance in the diversity of pigmentation. Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) results in increased synthesis of a variety of growth factors, cytokines and hormones, and in modulation of their receptors in the epidermis. Knowledge about the regulation of pigmentation has led to strategies for clinical treatment of hyperpigmented skin lesions. Three main strategies are: 1) the use of chemicals that interfere with the melanin synthetic pathway, 2) the design of peptides or peptide-mimetics based on the structure of hormones that regulate eumelanin synthesis, and 3) the use of agents that reduce melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes. All three strategies are expected to induce hypopigmentation, by inhibiting total melanin synthesis, eumelanin production, or the epidermal melanin unit, respectively.

Incontinentia pigmenti(Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome) is a sex-linked hereditary disorder so girls are almost exclusively affected. The frequency rate is approximately 1:40,000 among girls. It is associated with skin, ocular, dental, skeletal and central nervous deformities. We reported 2 cases of medically diagnosed IP patients who were 4 and 5 years old girls. They had thin and sparse hair, and represented congenital missing of multiple primary and permanent teeth, accessory cusps and cone-shaped crowns. Therefore we report the dental manifestations and treatment progress.
