Objectives : Arsenic (As) is ubiquitously distributed in the environment and has been known as a human carcinogen. The main source of arsenic exposure in general population is an oral route through As-contaminated water and foods. This study was performed to estimate the daily intake of As from diet and associated factors in Korean adults. Methods : We investigated 590 adults, 249 males and 341 females, with age of 20 years and older, who had not been exposed to the As occupationally. Study subjects were interviewed for demographic characteristics, lifestyles and diets during the last 24 hours. The estimation of As intake daily was based on amount of food consumption and As concentration in each food by using database of As concentrations in 117 food species. Results : Daily As intake was estimated as $56.46\;{\mu}g$/day, $56.60\;{\mu}g$/day in male and $56.36\;{\mu}g$/day in female. As intake was not significant from sex, age group, smoking and alcoholic habits, while was by occupation with the most intake of As in fishery. The daily As intakes was positively correlated with the total food consumption, specifically related with fishes and shellfishes, seaweeds, oils, grains and flavors. About 75% of As intake from diet was contributed by seafoods, such as $32.07\;{\mu}g$/day from fishes & shellfishes and $10.05\;{\mu}g$/day from seaweeds. However, it is necessary to evaluate if the dietary As intake affects on the levels of As in the body. Conclusions : The amount of As intake daily in Korean adults was estimated as $56.46\;{\mu}g$/day, and is determined mainly by diet behavior. The seafoods, such as fishes & shellfishes and seaweeds, is major source of As exposure from diet in Korean.

보툴리눔 독소는 Clostridium botulinum이라는 박테리아가 만들어내는 독소를 의료용으로 희석, 정제한 약제로서 이 독소가 시냅스 전 신경말단에 부착되어 신경근접합부에서 아세틸콜린의 분비를 억제함으로써 근육의 수축을 차단하는 역할을 한다. 보툴리눔 독소 주사 요법은 구강안면 분야에서 저작근의 근경축, 근경련, 운동이상증, 측두하악관절질환, 근막통증, 이갈이, 특발성 교근비대증 또는 만성편두통을 비롯한 두통 등 다양한 질환에서 가역적, 보존적 치료법으로 활발히 사용되고 있다. 사용 범위가 넓어지면서 교근이나 측두근 같은 저작근 부위에 주사를 하는 경우가 많아지고 있으며 그러한 경우 약제자체의 약리학적 작용에 의해 일시적인 근마비 및 근위축에 따라 저작기능에 변화가 생기게 된다. 하지만 지금까지 보툴리눔 독소 주사치료의 효과나 활용에 대한 연구만이 주를 이루었고 부작용 중의 하나인 저작기능 변화에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 몇몇 저작기능과 관련한 연구 또한 근전도 등을 이용한 정적인 상태의 저작력 감소에 대한 연구로, 실제로 동적인 저작 환경을 반영하는 저작 효율에 대해서는 현재까지 전혀 연구가 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 총 40명의 건강한 성인환자를 대상으로 보툴리눔 A형 독소 주사 요법을 교근 부위에만 시술 받은 사람 과 교근과 측두근 부위 모두에 시술 받은 사람 각각 20명씩 두 군으로 나누어 주사를 시행하고, 주사 전과 주사 후 4주, 8주, 12주째의 저작 효율의 변화를 주관적 평가방법인 식품섭취능 (Food Intake Ability, 이하 FIA)과 저작 능력에 대한 주관적 인식도 (Visual Analogue Scale, 이하 VAS), 객관적 평가 방법인 Mixing Ability Test를 시행하여 알아보았다. 그 결과 보툴리눔 A형 독소 주사 후 4주 째에 저작효율의 뚜렷한 감소가 나타났으며 이후 서서히 회복되는 경향을 보였다. 주사부위를 달리하여 본 결과 교근과 측두근에 모두 주사를 시행하는 경우, 교근에만 주사를 시행하는 경우에 비해 주관적, 객관적인 값 모두 낮게 나타났다. 주관적인 값에 있어서 4주 째 유의하였으나 이후에는 유의하지 않았으며 객관적인 값은 전 기간에 걸쳐 유의하지 않았다. 실험에서 정한 주사 용량에 대해서는 측두근까지 주사가 이루어지더라도 교근만 주사를 시행한 사람과 비교하여 저작효율의 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 보인다. 또한 식품성상에 따라 저작 효율을 살펴본 결과 보툴리눔 A형 독소 주사가 단단하고 질긴 음식 섭취에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 보이며 무르고 약한 음식의 섭취 시에도 유의할만한 영향을 받는다는 사실을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Background: Third molar extraction is associated with considerable pain and discomfort, which is mostly managed with oral analgesic medication. We assessed the analgesic effect of benzydamine hydrochloride, a topical analgesic oral rinse, for controlling postoperative pain following third molar extraction. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in 40 patients divided into two groups, for extraction of fully erupted third molar. Groups A received benzydamine hydrochloride mouthwash and group B received normal saline gargle with oral ibuprofen and paracetamol. Oral ibuprofen and paracetamol was the rescue analgesic drug in group A. Patients were evaluated on the $3^{rd}$ and $7^{th}$ post-operative days (POD) for pain using the visual analogue score (VAS), trismus, total number of analgesics consumed, and satisfaction level of patients. Results: The VAS in groups A and B on POD3 and POD7 was $4.55{\pm}2.54$ and $3.95{\pm}1.8$, and $1.2{\pm}1.64$ and $0.95{\pm}1.14$, respectively and was statistically insignificant. The number of analgesics consumed in groups A and B on POD3 ($5.25{\pm}2.22$ and $6.05{\pm}2.43$) was not statistically different from that consumed on POD7 ($9.15{\pm}5.93$ and $10.65{\pm}6.46$). The p values for trismus on POD3 and POD7 were 0.609 and 0.490, respectively and those for patient satisfaction level on POD3 and POD7 were 0.283 and 0.217, respectively. Conclusions: Benzydamine hydrochloride oral rinses do not significantly reduce intake of oral analgesics and are inadequate for pain relief following mandibular third molar extraction.

Since diet is an essential component of the treatment for diabetic mellitus, a progressive educational plan was designed to educate diabetic children for the proper selection of their foods. Seven suspicious children were chosen according to the previous oral glucose tolerance test and present blood glucose levels (fasting and postprandial 2 hours). The education program includes the basic nutrition study, learning of the five basic food groups. familiarization with the food exchange lists. calorie calculation and menu planning, and follow-up evaluation by checking every day -food intake. The duration of the education was five weeks. The levels of fasting blood glucose and postprandial -2 hours blood sugar of the seven children were significantly reduced after the 5-weeks education:FBS:from 92-125mg% to 67-80mg%, pp-2hours BS: from 130-169mg% to 69-90mg%. The children have felt much better with profound self-confidence after to program . Their oral glucose tolerance test levels were also significantly decreased after the 5-weeks education in comparison with those of one year ago.

The objective of this study was to determine the safety test for propolis in Beagle based on blood count, serum biochemistry, and electrolyte. Total six beagle dogs were assigned to this experiment. To investigate the safety of propolis in beagle dogs, we performed oral administration of propolis (5%) for 8 weeks. Among six beagles, three beagle dogs were randomly allocated to the control group which were fed only regular fodder, and the other three dogs were assigned as the treatment group which were fed regular fodder and propolis (5%). No clinical signs were observed in neither group throughout the experimental period. During the experimental period, there were no significant change in feed intake, water consumption, and body condition. Also, there were no statistically significant differences in hematological and biochemical analyses between the control group and the treated group. Our safety study showed that oral consumption of propolis did not cause any toxicological effects in beagle dogs.

The majority of children with cerebral palsy (CP) have feeding difficulties and are especially prone to malnutrition. The early involvement of a multidisciplinary team should aim to prevent malnutrition and provide adequate nutritional support. Thorough nutritional assessment, including body composition, should be a prerequisite for the nutritional intervention. As in typically-developed children nutritional support should start with dietary advice and the modification of oral feeding, if safe and acceptable. However, for prolonged feeding, in the presence of unsafe swallowing and inadequate oral intake, enteral nutrition should be promptly initiated and early gastrostomy placement should be evaluated and discussed with parents/caregivers. Gastrointestinal problems (oropharyngeal dysfunction, gastroesophageal disease, and constipation) in children with CP are frequent and should be actively detected and adequately treated as they can further worsen the feeding process and nutritional status.
