The rats with protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM, 5％ casein diet for a period of 4-week) were reported to exhibit 60 and 80％ suppression in the hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1 A2 and CYP2C11 levels, respectively, and 40-50％ decreases in CYP2E1 and CYP3A 1/2 levels compared to control (23％ casein diet for a period of 4-week) based on Western blot analysis. In addition, Northern blot analysis showed that CYP1 A2, CYP2E1, CYP2C11, and CYP3A1/2 mRNAs decreased in the state of PCM as well. Hence, pharmacokinetic changes of the drugs in rats with PCM [especially the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time infinity (AUC) changes of metabolite(s)] reported from literatures were tried to explain in terms of CYP isozyme changes in the rats. Otherwise, the time-averaged nonrenal clearance ($CL_{NR}$) of parent drug was compared. Pharmacokinetic changes of the drugs in other types of malnutritional state, such as kwashiorkor and marasmus, in both human and animal models were also compared. The drugs reviewed are as follows： diuretics, antibiotics, anticancer agents, antiepileptics, antiarrythmics, analgesics, xanthines, antimalarials, and miscellaneous.

Infants and children with food related Atopic Dermatitis (AD) need extra dietary efforts to maintain optimal nutrition due to food restriction to prevent allergy reactions. However, nutrition ignorance and food faddism make patients even more confused and practice desirable diet more difficult. The objective of this study was to report the AD patients' malnutrition cases in Korea. We report on 2 cases of severe nutritional deficiency caused by consuming macrobiotic diets which avoid processed foods and most animal foods, i.e. one of vegetarian diet. Case 1, a 12-month-old male child, was admitted with severe marasmus. Because of a history of AD, he was started on mixed grain porridge at 3 months without any breast milk or formula feeding. His caloric intake was 66% and protein intake was 69% of the recommended dietary allowance. Patient's height and weight was under 3th percentile. On admission the patient was unable to crawl or roll over. Case 2, a 9-month-old AD female patient, was diagnosed with kwashiorkor and rickets. She was also started on mixed grain porridge at 100 days due to AD. Her caloric intake has been satisfied recommended dietary allowance until 7 months, however, she conducted sauna bath therapy and reduced both energy and protein intake at 8 months. The amount of protein intake for case 2 was higher than recommended dietary allowance, but, sauna therapy and severe AD with intakes of low guality protein may increase patient's protein requirement resulting in kwashiorkor. Case 2 patient's height and weight was on 3th percentile. Both cases showed low intake of calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin E and especially very low intake of vitamin B$_{12}$ and vitamin D. Allergy tests for certain foods had not done prior to admission for both cases. They followed the dietary advise operated by macrobiotic diet internet site. In conclusion, AD infants' parents and caregivers should contact a pediatrician trained as a specialist in allergy for accurate diagnosis. For infant patients, breast or formula feeding including hypoallergenic formula should be continued until their one year of age. When certain foods need to be restricted or to follow special diets such as vegetarian diet, consultation with pediatrician and dietitian is needed.d.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anthropometry, biochemical parameters and electrolytes concentrations of the Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) patients according to their nutritional status at the time of admission. Thirty-three patients in the Intensive Care Unit at S University Hospital were the subjects of this study. Their nutritional status was classified as At-risk I (Mild PCM, n = 13), At - risk II (Moderate PCM, n = 9) and At-risk III (Marasmus + kwashiorkor + severe PCM, n = 11) . Anthropometeric, biochemical and dietary assessments were performed. The Patients intake of calories (75.02%) and protein (53.15%) was insufficient compare with Korean RDA requirements. The body weight and the Body Mass Index (BMI) in the At-risk III group were significantly lower than in the other groups. The percentage of body weight loss and change of body weight (kg) were significantly higher than in the other groups. The subjects were malnourished as indicated by nutritional related parameters such as serum total protein, albumin, total lymphocyte count (TLC), hemoglobin and hematocrit. Serum total protein, albumin and TLC levels were lower at the time of admission before TPN administration. But after TPN administration, they increased. The electrolyte concentrations did not show any differences following TPN administration. The nutritional status of the patients could be affect by the duration of TPN administration and the number of days of the patients hospitalization. The patients who require nutritional support need the continuous follow-up care and monitoring by a nutritional support team. (Korean J Community Nutrition 8(4) : 574-583, 2003)

아직도 우리나라에서는 미국과 같은 선진국과 비교해 폐결핵의 유병률이 높은 상태이다. 그리고 높은 폐결핵 발생과 함께 장결핵의 발생도 높을 것으로 예상되나 정확한 통계 및 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 또한, 발생 가능성이 높을 것으로 예상되는 장결핵에 의한 영양실조에 대한 관심도 부족한 실정이다. 저자 등은 결핵 발생이 현격하게 감소되지 않는 한 앞으로도 계속 발생할 수 있는 장결핵에 의한 영양실조의 가능성을 상기하고자 장결핵에 의한 영양실조 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

A folk prescription consisting of Alnus hirsuta, Rosa davurica, Acanthopanax senticosus and Panax schinseng has been used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the antidiabetic effects of the herb formula extract (HFE) composed of Alnus hirsuta, Rosa davurica, Acanthopanax senticosus and Panax schinseng in the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The HFE was mixed in the food supply of the healthy and STZ-induced diabetic male Sprague-Dawley rats, and its effects on the body weight, water and food intake, hyperglycemia, hypolipidemic and islet structure were studied. The treatment of the rats with STZ for 6 weeks resulted in marasmus, polydipsia, polyphagia, hyperglycemia and hypoinsulinemia. In addition, the diabetic rats showed an apparent decrease in the insulin immunoreactivity and the number of ${\beta}$-cells in the pancreas. The addition of the HFE to the rats' food supply significantly lowered the serum glucose and the serum triglycerides level and preserved the normal histological appearance of the pancreatic islets. These results indicate that the HEF have a strong antidiabetic potential along with the significant hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects, which may be applicable in the pharmaceutical industry.

In order to investigate the meanings and bases of transforming theories of diseases(病傳論), several relevant theories were collected from medical books since . The outside-to-inside changing process(pyoree jeon) was the fundamental pattern in febrile diseases regardless of slang han and wen bing after Han dynasty. But in case of numb disease the three exogenous pathogenic factors of wind, cold and dampness got into each viscera through five tissues like skin, vessesl, flesh, tendons, bones respectively. It was called corresponding changing process(sanghap jeon) here. The pathogenic changing process(byungsa jeon) had complicated details to explain pathologic processes, but could give useful informations on evaluating relative strength of pathogens and tendency ahead. The changing process of diseases of internal injuries were explained in case of emotional distress which is outbroken abruptly didn't follow regular order of viscera-emotion relations. So it was named random changing process(bulcha jeon) after 's usage. And marasmus and asthenic disease followed top-to-down or down-to-top changing process(sangha jeon) based on . There are many types of changing process of diseases between viscera and viscera or viscera and bowels like generation changing process, restriction changing process, changing process between couple, changing process of mutual transmission based on attributions of each element by the theory of 5 phases(五行論). And changing process to a neighbor doesn't have any special relations within two organs but has anatomical contiguity and physiological continuity between them. The transforming theories of diseases bring forth useful understanding on comings and goings of pathogenic factors and tendency and prognosis of disease, so they are needed to be taught in the course of pathology class.

목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 화학요법을 받는 암환자의 증상과 통증조절을 위한 약물사용 및 그 치료방법의 현황을 살펴보기 위해 실시하였다. 방법 : 2001년 8월 7일부터 24일까지 광주광역시 일개 대학교 부속병원 혈액종양 내과병동에 입원치료중인 암환자와 주사실에서 화학요법을 받고 있는 전체환자 가운데 연구에 동의하고 질문에 응답을 허락한 66명과 chart audit 및 담당의사 19명을 대상으로 하였다. 대상의 일반적 특성 및 증상의 정도와 통증조절에 사용된 약물의 종류, 투여경로, 평균 투여량, 투여방법에 대하여 조사하였다. 일반적 특성은 수와 백분율로 제시하였으며, 증상의 빈도는 평균과 표준편차로 제시하였다. 진통제의 종류, 규칙적 또는 일시적(pm) 사용여부, 투여경로는 수와 백분율로 제시하였다. 결과 : 66명의 조사대상자 중 남성 35명(53.0%), 여성 31명(47.0%)이었고, 연령은 $61{\sim}69$세가 23명(34.8%)으로 가장 많았다. 진단명은 위암 19명(28.8%), 대장 직장암 17명(25.8%), 비뇨기계암 11명(16.7%) 순으로 나타났다. 진단명 기수는 3기 14명(29.2%), 2기 12명(25.0%), 1기 11명(22.9%), 4기 11명(22.9%) 순이었고, 진단기간은 3개월 이내가 25명(37.9%)로 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다. 화학요법을 받는 암환자의 증상으로는 '쇠약'($2.4193{\pm}1.2220$), '통증'($1.9333{\pm}1.2194$), '수면장애'($1.7142{\pm}1.0384$점), '성격변화'($1.5806{\pm}0.8971$) 순으로 나타났다. 화학요법을 받는 암환자의 통증조절을 위한 진통제는 마약성 진통제 66.2%, 비마약성 진통제 33.8%를 사용하고 있었다. 진통제의 규칙적인 투여는 21%, 일시적(pm)인 투여는 31.6%, 규칙적으로 투여하면서 필요시마다 pm으로 투여한 경우는 47.4%이었다. 진통제의 투여 경로는 경구 투여한 경우 50.7%, 주사로 투여한 경우 41.8%, 패치를 사용한 경우가 7.5%로 나타났다. 결론 : 화학요법을 받는 암환자의 증상으로는 쇠약과 통증을 가장 많이 호소하고 있었다. 그리고 통증조절을 위해서는 마약성 진통제를 우선적으로 사용하였지만 임상의사들의 21%에서만 진통제에 대한 규칙적인 투여가 이루어지는 것으로 나타나 통증조절 충분하다고 볼 수 없다. 이 같은 점을 고려하여 통증의 적절한 평가와 통증조절에 대한 실무와 교육이 필요하다고 생각된다.
