This study was aimed to investigate the electrolytes and its relationship with acute stroke patients in each stroke type by case-control study. 217 patients with first-ever acute stroke within 2 weeks as the case group(Cases), 146 people without four major risk factors(hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidema and ischemic heart disease) as the healthy control group(Normals), and 160 people as the general control group(Controls) were recruited at the Stroke Medical Center in Daejeon University Oriental Medicine Hospital from july 2005 to march 2007 for this case-control study. We analyzed the odds ratio of electrolytes in binary logistic analysis and evaluated each stroke type and general characteristics such as age, sex etc. The level of sodium(Na+) and potassium(K+) were significantly lower in LAA, SVO type of ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. But the level of chloride(Cl-) had no significant relation with stroke occurance. In this study we demonstrated that low sodium(Na+) and potassium(K+) have an influence on stoke occurance than chloride(Cl-). And we think that the electrolytes must be considered in risk factors of ischemic stroke in Korean and more prospective studies are needed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Atractylodes lancea (A.l.) in a dose-dependent manner on lipid levels and plasma glucose in diabetic rats induced with streptozotocin (STZ). The Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly classified into five groups: normal, STZ-control and three experimental groups [A.l.-1, diabetic treated with ethanolic extract of A.l. (1 g/kg b.w.), A.l.-2, diabetic administered with ethanolic extract of A.l. (2 g/kg b.w.), and A.l.-3, diabetic administered with ethanolic extract of A.l. (3 g/kg b.w.)]. The normal and STZ-control group were fed an AIN-93 diet and the three experimental groups were administered with A.l. extract at doses of 1, 2, and 3 g/kg b.w./day, respectively, for 14 days. The plasma glucose levels in all the experimental groups were significantly lower than the STZ-control group after 14 days of treatment. The total cholesterol of the A.l.-3 and triglyceride levels, atherogenic index (AI) of all three experimental groups were significantly lower than the STZ-control group. The ALT and AST activities at A.l.-2, A.l.-3 were significantly lower than the STZ-control group. This result that demonstrate the administration of Atractylodes lancea can reduce hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia risk in diabetic rats.

목적 : 조영증강 MR 혈관조영술을 이용하여 경동맥의 기하학(geometry)을 측정하고, 경동맥 기하학과 임상요인 사이의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2007년 1월부터 6월까지 대동맥궁 상부 조영증강 MR 혈관조영술을 시행한 216명을 대상으로 하였다. 동맥경화 위험인자(나이, 고혈압, 당뇨, 고지혈증, 흡연), 성별, 체중, 신장, 체질량지수를 조사하였다. MR 혈관조영술에서는 경동맥 기시부 유형, 경동맥의 굴곡도, 내경동맥 분지각, 내경동맥 비틀림, 대동맥궁 소-유형(bovine type) 여부를 평가하였다. 경동맥 기시부 유형은 위치에 따라 3단계로 분류하였다. 기하학 요소와 임상정보간의 상관관계를 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과 : 경동맥 기시부를 종속변수로 한 다항 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 나이가 많을수록 경동맥 기시부 1형의 빈도가 높았고, 체질량지수가 클수록 2형, 3형일 빈도가 높았다. 좌, 우측 경동맥의 굴곡도의 평균은 각각 $240.9{\pm}69.0^{\circ}$과 $154.4{\pm}55.0^{\circ}$였다. 다변량 회귀분석에서 고혈압 환자와 여자, 나이, 체질량지수가 클수록 경동맥의 굴곡도가 증가하였다. 내경동맥 분지각, 내경동맥 비틀림, 대동맥궁 소-유형은 통계분석에서 임상정보와 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 경동맥 기하학에 나이, 체질량지수, 성, 고혈압 여부가 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이러한 정보는 대동맥궁 및 경동맥의 영상정보가 없는 경우, 경동맥 기하학 예측 및 침습적 혈관내 시술 전략 수립에 도움이 될 것이다.
