Antidiabetic activity of Mori folium ethanol soluble fraction (MFESF) was examined in db/db mice, which is a spontaneously hyperglycemic, hyperinsulinemic and obese animal model . 500 and 1000mg/kg dose for MFFSF (designated by SY 500 and SY 1000, respectively) and 5mg/kg dose for acarbose were administered for 6 weeks. Body weight gain, fasting and non-fasting serum glucose, glycated hemoglobin and triglyceride were all reduced dose dependently when compared between db/db control group and MFESF treated group. At 11th and 13th week after birth, MFESF increased an insulin secretion which may result in lowering serum glucose level. Total activities of sucrase and maltase in SY 500 treated group were decreased when compared to db/db control. On the other hand, those in SY 1000 and acarbose treated groups were increased. This result may suggest that proteins for sucrase and maltase were compensatorily induced due to significant inhibition of glycosidase-catalyzed reaction at doses administered in this study.

The prescriptions (DB-1-DB-5) were prepared with the active herbal medicines, Acanthopanax senticosus, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Polygonatum odoratum, and Cichorium intybus. The most active crude polysaccharide fraction (DB-2-3), which was isolated through the fractionation of hot-water extract from DB-2, was significantly reduced by periodate oxidation (52.7 and 63.7%) on intestinal immune system modulating and anticancer activity. When DB-2-3 was further fractionated by column chromatographies, DB-2-3IIc-2 showed the most potent activities. In addition, DB-2-3IIc stimulated the proliferation of bone marrow cells via Peyer's patch in dose-dependent pattern by oral administration. The metastasis of colon 26-M3.1 lung carcinoma had significantly inhibited in mice fed DB-2-3IIc at 1 mg/mouse (43.8%). DB-2-3IIc-2 mainly contained uronic acid (46.1%) and 42.5% of neutral sugar with a small amount of protein (7.6%), and component sugar analysis also showed that DB-2-3IIc-2 was composed Ara, Gal, and GalA (molar ratio; 0.50:0.63:1.00). It may be suggested that activities of DB-2-3IIc-2 are resulted from pectic polysaccharides containing a polygalacturonan moiety with side chain of neutral sugars, such as Ara and Gal.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the gene profiles that were up- or down-regulated in the livers of high-fat diet-induced obese mice and $db_-/db_-$ mice with deficient leptin receptor. C57/BL6 normal mice and $db_-/db_-$ mice, respectively, were divided into two groups and fed a standard or high-fat diet for four weeks. Liver weight was unchanged in the normal mice but the high-fat diet led to a 10% weight increase in the $db_-/db_-$mice. Adipose tissue mass increased by about 88% in the normal mice that were fed a high-fat diet and by about 17% in the $db_-/db_-$mice on the high-fat diet. In terms of serum lipids, total cholesterol significantly increased in mice on the high-fat diet. Microarray analysis was carried out using total RNA isolated from the livers of standard or high-fat diet-fed mice of the normal and $db_-/db_-$ strains. The change of gene expression was confirmed by RT-PCR. About 1.6% and 6.8% of total genes, respectively, showed different expression patterns in the normal mice fed the high-fat diet and $db_-/db_-$ mice. As a result of microarray, many genes involved in metabolism and signal pathways were shown to have different expression patterns. Expression of Mgst3 gene increased in the livers of normal and $db_-/db_-$ mice that were fed a high-fat diet. Wnt7b and Ptk9l were down-regulated in the livers of the normal mice and $db_-/db_-$ mice that were fed a high-fat diet. In conclusion, a high-fat diet induced obesity and affected gene expression involved in metabolism and signal pathway.

Purpose: Poly-N-acetyl glucosamine(PGlcNAc) nanofiber-based materials, produced by a marine microalga, have been characterized as effective hemostatic and angiogenic agents. The similarity between PGlcNAc patch and the natural extracellular matrix allows it to support new healthy tissue growth in an injured area and to encourage fluid absorption. In this study, we hypothesized that a poly-N-acetyl glucosamine fiber patch(PGlcNAc patch) may enhance wound healing in the db/db mouse. Methods: PGlcNAc patches were applied on one square centimeter, full-thickness, skin wounds in the db/db mouse model. Wounds(n=15 per group) were dressed with a PGlcNAc nanofiber patch for 1 hour(1 h), 24 hours(24 h) or left untreated(NT). After the application time, patches were removed and wounds were allowed to heal spontaneously. The rate of wound closure was evaluated by digital analysis of unclosed wound area in course of time. At day 10, wounds(n=7 per group) were harvested and quantified with immunohistochemical markers of proliferation(Ki-67) and vascularization (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule, PECAM-1). Results: Wounds dressed with PGlcNAc patches for 1 hour closed faster than control wounds, reaching 90% closure in 16.6 days, nine days faster than untreated wounds. Granulation tissue showed higher levels of proliferation and vascularization following 1 h treatment than the 24 h and NT groups. In addition to its hemostatic properties, the PGlcNAc material also appears to accelerate wound closure in healing-impaired genetically diabetic mice. Conclusion: This material, with its combination of hemostatic and wound healing properties, has the potential to be effective agent for the treatment of complicated wounds.

Antidiabetic effects of the acid hydrolysate of silk fibroin were investigated by oral administration to animal models for diabetes mellitus, Fibroin protein was extracted from cocoon and digested to peptides of low-molecular weight range (mainly below 3,000) and amino acids by acid hydrolysis, Feeding of the fibroin hydrolysate resulted in a significant recovering effect on reduction of body weight gain and a lowering effect on blood glucose gain in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Sprague Dawley rats (STZ rats) which were used as an insulin-dependent diabetic animal model. But the body weight and blood glucose level in C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice (db/db mice), an non-insulin-dependent diabetic animal model, were not changed significantly by the feeding, On the other hand, plasma leptin levels increased according to increased feeding amount of the hydrolysate in STZ rats and db/db mice in common, It was concluded from the results that the fibroin hydrolysate might stimulate the insulin secretion by recovering or activating pancreatic ${\beta}$ cells and result in the increased plasma leptin level. It was also deduced that the antidiabetic improvements in body weight and blood glucose gain in STZ were thought to be due to the increased insulin secretion, but in db/db mice of which the diabetic symptoms were caused by insulin resistance, the stimulated secretion of insulin was unlikely to be able to change body weight and blood glucose level significantly.

국민건강보험공단에서 제공하는 표본코호트DB는 보건의료계뿐만 아니라 통계학 연구를 위한 중요한 자원이다. 일반적으로 이들 자료에서 연구에 필요한 정보를 얻기 위하여 관련 사례들을 추출하는 과정에는 많은 시간과 노력이 들게 된다. 본 논문에서는 표본코호트DB를 이용하고자 할 때 사례 추출과정에 도움을 주는 데이터베이스 시스템인 National Health Insurance Service Cohort DB Extract Tool(NICE Tool)을 소개한다. SAS의 DATA 명령문이나 SQL문에 익숙하지 않은 연구자들도 쉽게 마우스 클릭만으로 DB에서 필요한 변수들과 조건에 맞는 사례들을 추출할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 이 시스템을 활용하면 빠른 사례추출이 가능하여 표본코호트DB를 사용한 연구들이 더욱 활성화되리라 판단된다.

8주령의 C57BL/KsJ db/db마우스에 상백피 냉침추출물을 투여하면서 5주간 사육하여 식이섭취량, 체중변화, 혈중 포도당 농도를 관찰하고, 소장내 ${\alpha}-glycosidase$ 활성변화와 혈중 당화헤모글로빈 농도, 중성지방 농도, 인슐린 농도를 측정하였다. 상백피추출물 500 mg/kg을 공급하는 Rad 500군과 1000 mg/kg을 공급하는 Rad 1000군, db/db 대조군과 lean군으로 나누고 대조약물로는 acarbose 5 mg/kg을 투여하였다. Rad 1000군은 식이섭취량에서 db/db 대조군보다 낮은 수준이었으며 그에 따라 체중증가량도 유의적으로 낮았다. 또한 공복시 혈중포도당 농도는 Rad 500, Rad 1000, acarbose군 모두 db/db 대조군보다 낮았다. 혈중 당화헤모글로빈 농도와 중성지방 함량 측정결과는 농도의존적으로 시료투여군이 db/db대조군보다 낮게 측정되었다. 혈중 인슐린 농도 측정결과 lean군을 제외한 나머지군간에 유의적인 차이는 없었고 Rad 500군에서 약간 높은 수준이 관찰되었다. 소장을 proximal, middle, distal 세부위로 나누어 각각에 대해 maltase, sucrase, lactase의 활성을 측정해본 결과 db/db군은 lean군에 비해 세효소의 활성이 매우 높은 활성을 나타내었으며, 시료투여군은 sucrase의 경우 proximal, middle 부위는 db/db군 보다 낮고 distal 부위는 활성이 높았다. Maltase, lactase의 활성은 모든부위에서 시료투여군이 db/db군 보다 낮아 lean군 수준이었다. 이상의 결과들로 미루어 상백피는 db/db마우스에서 식이섭취량을 줄여주어 체중증가를 억제시키고 소장내 glycosidase활성을 전반적으로 낮춰 혈중포도당 농도를 낮춰주고 혈중 당화헤모글로빈 농도와 중성지방 농도를 낮춰주는 등의 항당뇨효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

유전적으로 제2형 당뇨병이 유발되는 db/db 생쥐에 OF를 5% 수준으로 4주간 급여한 결과 지방 대사를 개선시켜, 혈장 총콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, VLDL-콜레스테롤과 중성지방을 유의적으로(p<0.05) 감소시켰고, HDL-콜레스테롤은 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 혈장 총콜레스테롤의 감소는 간에서 HMG-CoA-R의 감소에 의한 콜레스테롤의 생성이 줄어든 것이고, 또한 콜레스테롤을 담즙산으로 합성하는 CYP7A1을 증가시켜 콜레스테롤을 담즙산의 형태로 배설시켰기 때문이다. 이 결과 분변 중 담즙산의 함량이 증가하였다. LDL-콜레스테롤의 감소는 LDL-콜레스테롤을 세포로 이동시켜 분해를 촉진하는 LDL-R의 증가로 확인할 수 있었다. db/db mice에서는 비만뿐 아니라 심각한 지방간이 유발되는데 OF의 급여로 AST와 ALT를 낮추어 간세포의 파괴를 완화시켰으며, 간 조직의 H&E 염색 소견에서도 지방간의 완화를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 대조군으로 C57 생쥐에게 5% 수준으로 OF를 급여한 결과 OF를 급여하지 않은 대조군과 OF를 급여한 실험군의 혈장 중성지방, 총 콜레스테롤, HDL-콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, VLDL-콜레스테롤, AST와 ALT 함량의 차이가 없었으며, 간조직 관찰에서도 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, OF는 당뇨병이 유발되지 않은 정상혈당의 생쥐에서는 지질대사에 아무런 영향을 주지 않았으며, 제2형 당뇨병인 db/db mice의 당뇨병 합병증인 지질대사 이상을 개선하는데 효과가 있는 것으로 사료되며, OF의 어떤 성분이 이와 같은 효과를 나타냈는지 보다 구체적인 성분 분석과 세부적인 연구를 통한 확인이 필요하다고 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Taeeumjowuitanggagam-bang(TJV) on the mRNA expression of adipocytokines (TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6), and SREBPs. Mice were divided into 4 groups ; a normal group of db/+ mice, a control group of db/db mice, a group (db/db mice) treated with TJV 200 mg/kg, and a group (db/db mouse) treated with TJV 500 mg/kg. They were treated orally with TJV and measured their body weight every other day during 9 weeks. After that, we measured the mRNA expression of adipocytokines (TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6) and SREBPs (SREBE-1a and SREBP-1c) in liver, and blood concentration of total cholesterol, triglyceride, too. In addition, liver samples were fixed in 4% PFA for 2 hours and stored in $-70^{\circ}C$. Liver tissues were embedded in Optical cutting temperature(OCT) compound and 30 ${\mu}m$ sections were cut. Tissue sections were stained Oil-Red-O to visualize neutral lipids. Nuclei were stained with hematoxylin solution. In result, the TJV reduced the mRNA expressions of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 and SREBPs in liver and stained liver tissue less red than control group. However, there was no significant differences in total cholestreol and triglyceride blood concentration and body weight among groups. The TJV has inhibitory effect on the mRNA expression of adipocytokines and SREBPs. Therefore, it is assumed that the TJV is related to inhibiting lipogenesis in the liver
