RESUMO
Objectives@#The purpose of this study was to evaluate the consumption pattern of sugarsweetened beverages (SSB) and compare body composition changes by SSB consumption based on 28 days of dietary records from a four-week time-restricted eating intervention among young adults in Korea. @*Methods@#A total of 33 participants completed the four-week dietary intervention with 8-hour time-restricted eating (TRE). The body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis at baseline, and daily dietary records were collected for 28 days during the intervention after 4 weeks. @*Results@#Based on 924 days of dietary records, the average eating occasion of SSB was 0.9 times per day, and the average amount of SSB was 205.8 g/times. Based on an individual’s usual intake of 28 days, the average eating frequency of SSB was 16.6 times out of 28 days, and the average amount of SSB was 184.0 g/day. The average energy intake from SSB was 131.0 kcal /day (8.7% of energy), and sugar intake from SSB was 18.2 g/day (4.9% of energy). The sugar intake was 2.6% of energy from sweetened dairy products, followed by 2.0% from coffee drinks, 0.5% from soda and juice and 0.2% from others.When subjects were divided into high (14 days or more) and low (less than 14 days) SSB groups based on eating frequency, the weight change in the low SSB group was -2.0 kg over 4 weeks, which was significantly lower than -0.7 kg in the high SSB group. However, no significant difference was found in muscle mass, fat mass and body fat percent between the two groups. @*Conclusions@#This study suggests that low consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is more desirable in weight management despite having the dietary intervention of timerestricted eating without counting calories. Thus, further longitudinal studies on the association between SSB and obesity in Korean adults are necessary.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Aim of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of Keraheal-Allo® (Biosolution Co., Ltd., Korea) in patients with deep second-degree burn as a part of post marketing surveillance. METHODS: Seventy-five patients with deep second-degree burn were enrolled from April 2017 to October 2017. Keraheal-Allo, a thermos-sensitive hydrogel-type allogeneic keratinocytes, was applied to 90 deep second-degree burn sites of 75 patients. After application of Keraheal-Allo, the efficacy was assessed as the period of 100% re-epithelialization that was evaluated every time dressing was changed. RESULTS: The mean re-epithelialization period in the treated sites with KeraHeal-allo was 13.67±5.11 days. There was no severe adverse event. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, this thermo-sensitive hydrogel-type allogeneic keratinocytes have the clinical usefulness in terms of the safety, efficacy and ease of use.
