본 연구는 구중구포법 과정의 흑삼 1~9포를 대상으로 열수 및 70% 에탄올 추출물의 ginsenosides을 분석한 결과 생리 활성이 높다고 판단한 흑삼 5포와 9포 열수 및 에탄올 추출물을 각각 3T3-L1 지방세포, RAW264.7 대식세포, 지방유래 줄기세포에 처치하여 세포독성, 지질축적(adipogenesis) 및 염증인자 변화를 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 열수 추출물보다 에탄올 추출물 흑삼에서 효율적으로 ginsenosides가 추출되었다. 또한 흑삼 에탄올 추출물이 $PPAR{\gamma}$ 및 C/$EBP{\alpha}$ 감소, AMPK의 인산화 증가 등 adipogenesis 관련인자를 억제하였으며, 아울러 염증성 사이토카인의 분비를 억제하였다. 따라서 비만 및 대사성 질환의 예방에도 잠정적으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되지만 ginsenosides와 비만과의 조절기전 연구 및 항염증성 기전 등에 대한 정확한 기전 규명이 필요하다. 현재 인삼에 함유된 ginsenosides를 이용하여 체지방 감소 등의 기능성식품으로 많이 개발되고 있는 현실을 감안해 볼 때 홍삼 및 흑삼의 제조 기술인 구증구포법의 효율적인 표준화 공정기술, 유효 생리활성 성분의 대량 생산 및 안전성 기술 등이 개발된다면 항비만에 대한 고부가 가치 상품개발이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

심장외막지방(epicardial adipose tissue, EAT)은 여러 호르몬을 분비하는 대사활성 내분비 기관으로 지방의 두께증가는 심혈관질환이나 대사질환의 위험인자이다. 본 연구는 초음파를 이용하여 대상군의 심장외막 지방두께와 복부피하지방두께를 측정한 후 일반적 특성 및 혈액학적 특성과의 상관관계를 분석하고 대사질환의 예측을 위한 지방두께를 제시하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 대상자의 심장외막지방두께의 평균은 각 단면도에서 각각 8.890mm, 4.783mm, 4.777mm, 6.147mm로 측정되었다. 각 단면에서 심장외막지방두께평균과 위험인자와의 상관관계에서는 나이, BMI, 수축기혈압, LDH, LDL, TC가 양의 상관관계(p<0.05)를 나타냈다. 특히 대사질환의 위험인자를 가지고 있는 대상자가 위험인자를 가지고 있지 않은 대상자에 비하여 심장외막지방두께 및 복부피하지방의 두께가 유의(p<0.05)하게 높게 나타났다. EAT1에서 측정한 심장외막지방 두께 8.950 mm에서 대사질환의 위험을 예측할 수 있는 민감도 66.7 %, 특이도 80 %를 보여 가장 신뢰성 있는 cut off value를 나타냈다.

A herd of polish lowland local sheep was divided into two equal groups: the first group was kept under an overhead shelter, and the second group was kept in a warm barn. The effect of maintenance on ewe's reproductive performance, survival as well as the growth rate of lambs, and their carcasses quality was investigated. The lack of differences in fertility and prolificacy of ewes as well as in the survival and growth rate between the groups confirmed a good adaptation of $\dot{Z}$ela$\acute{z}$nie$\acute{n}$ska sheep to low temperature. Harsh environmental conditions did not cause a significant decrease of the body weight growth; however, they brought in an (insignificant) reduction of subcutaneous fat thickness and meatiness of the loin part of a lamb's body. The fat content of carcasses obtained from lambs reared under the overhead shelter was significantly lower, with no differences of meat and bones contribution between the groups.

The influence of dietary vitamin E supplementation on meat color and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol concentrations in plasma, longissimus thoracis muscle and subcutaneous fat was investigated. Ten Japanese $Black{\times}Holstein$ crossbred steers were placed in three experimental groups receiving different supplements of vitamin E. Four steers (control) were fed no supplemental vitamin E. Two groups of three steers each, were supplemented with 500 mg dl-${\alpha}$-tocopherol acetate per animal daily for 175 days and 1,000 mg for 100 days, respectively, before slaughter. The ${\alpha}$-tocopherol concentration in plasma increased, as vitamin E were fed, and were related to the length of time and the amount of supplement. The ${\alpha}$-tocopherol concentrations in the muscle and the fat from the two supplemental groups did not differ significantly and were three or more times greater than those in the control group. Vitamin E supplementation did not affect the quantity of marbling of beef. Supplemental vitamin E stabilized the color of displayed beef around wavelengths of 500 nm and 640 nm. The two methods of vitamin E supplementation had similar effects on meat color. The effect of supplemental vitamin E on the color of beef with marbling was observed 2-3 days after slaughter and was followed for another two weeks.

A Maltese was presented with a subcutaneous mass at right flank, depression and hyperthermia. Ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic mass with hyperechoic foci, a defect of abdominal wall and peritonitis. In cytology, fat necrosis was found. This dog was diagnosed as chronic suppurative steatitis secondary to pancreatitis and pancreatic herniation through surgery and histopathologic examination. Steatitis is recurrent inflammation and necrosis of adipose tissue. Also steatitis associated with pancreatic diseases such as pancreatitis and pancreatic tumor was reported and direct fat necrosis by pancreatic enzyme was supposed as the etiology. Steatitis secondary to pancreatitis was rarely reported in dogs and there was difficulty in diagnosis and treatment. This case has a limitation that pancreatitis was not diagnosed as underlying cause to steatitis before surgery. However, a defect of abdominal wall and peritonitis were observed on ultrasonography. Good prognosis could be achieved through prompt surgery and medical treatment.

In performing upper blepharoplasty in the elderly, looking younger and keeping the eyelids harmonious with the rest of the face have to be achieved at the same time. The most important goal in upper blepharoplasty for aging is correcting the drooping upper eyelid skin, and in this process, the surgeon may or may not create a double eyelid fold. The pros and cons have to be fully discussed with the patient, but the author personally prefers creating a double fold unless the patient refuses, because it is efficient in correcting and preventing further drooping of the skin. In most patients, the brow is elevated to compensate for the drooping eyelid, and when the drooping is corrected, brow ptosis may ensue. The surgeon has to prepare for these consequences before performing the procedure, and estimate the exact amount of skin to be excised. In the elderly, the skin and the orbicularis oculi muscle is thin, with a decreased amount of subcutaneous fat and retro-orbicularis oculi fat, and in most cases, excision of the skin alone is enough to correct the deformity. Removing large portions of soft tissue may also prolong the recovery period. Unlike younger patients, the lower skin flap should not be stretched too much in the elderly, as it may create an aggressive looking appearance. A few wrinkles in the lower flap should remain untouched to create a natural look. In this article, the author's own methods of performing an aging blepharoplasty are described specifically, with a step-by-step guide and surgical tips.

A 29-year-old Korean woman visited the Department of Surgery in MizMedi Hospital with a palpable itching mass on the right breast that had existed for the past 7 months. She had no history to eat either frogs or snakes, but had the history of drinking impure water. Sonography revealed a serpiginous hypoechoic tubular structure associated with partial fat necrosis in breast parenchymal layer and subcutaneous fat layer. It also revealed oval cystic lesions. At operation, an ivory white opaque ribbon-like worm that measured 16.5 cm in length and 0.5 cm in width was extracted. Anti-sparganum specific serum IgG level in the patient's serum (absorbance ＝ 0.71), measured by ELISA, was found to be significantly higher than those of normal controls (cut off point ＝ 0.21) . Sonography and ELISA appear to be helpful to diagnose sparganosis. Breast sparganosis is rarely found throughout the world.

Objectives : We investigated the effects of Herba Ephedrae and Rhizoma Amorphophalli on high fat diet induced obese male mice. Methods : 8 weeks old, high fat diet induced obese male mice were divided into 5 groups: C57BL/6 normal control, obese vehicle control, GGEx55 (Herba Ephedrae), GGEx61 (Rhizoma Amorphophalli), GGEx62 (Herba Ephedrae + Rhizoma Amorphophalli). After mice were treated with GGEx for 8 weeks, we measured body weight gain, food intake, feeding efficiency ratio, rectal temperature, fat weight, plasma leptin and lipid levels. We also took micro-computerized axial tomography (micro-CT) on the mice. Results : 1. GGEx55 and GGEx62 groups significantly decreased body weight gain and feeding efficiency ratio compared with vehicle control. But they significantly increased rectal temperature. 2. Plasma total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations were significantly increased by GGEx55 groups, whereas were significantly decreased by GGEx62 groups compared with vehicle control. 3. GGEx55 and GGEx62 groups significantly decreased total, subcutaneous and visceral fat as well as fat areas in micro-CT analysis of abdomen compared with vehicle control. 4. Plasma GOT and GPT concentrations were significantly increased by GGEx55 groups compared with vehicle control. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that GGEx55 and GGEx62 effectively reduces body weight gain, feeding efficiency ratio in high fat diet induced obese mice, leading to the modulation of obesity. In addition, GGEx55 and GGEx62 decreases visceral adipose tissue mass and improves plasma lipids, suggesting that GGEx55 and GGEx62 may act as a therapeutic agent for obesity.
