Abstract
Neck circumference is an attractive method for determining metabolic profiles and has many advantages over waist circumference. However, the correlation between neck circumference and hepatic fibrosis has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between neck circumference and hepatic fibrosis and define the optimal cut-off point for neck circumference to determine hepatic fibrosis. A cross-sectional study (n = 333) was conducted among Thai healthcare workers at Phramongkutklao Hospital who received an annual health maintenance program. Neck circumference was measured at the lower margin of the laryngeal prominence. Fibroscan® with a controlled attenuation parameter was used to measure the degree of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis by an experienced, well-trained operator. In the cross-sectional analysis, it was found that the large circumference of the neck was associated with hepatic fibrosis (r = 0.19, p = .001) and hepatic steatosis (r = 0.58, p < .001). Hepatic fibrosis (r = 0.15, p = .004) and steatosis (r = 0.53, p < .001) were also associated with waist circumference. The neck circumferences of 40 and 34 cm were the best cut-offs for male and female participants, respectively.Neck circumference is closely related to hepatic fibrosis and steatosis, which should be promoted and has a better advantage than waist circumference in the screening of hepatic steatosis.

Abstract
To identify perceptions and attitudes among people with obesity (PwO) and healthcare professionals (HCPs) toward obesity and its management in nine Asia-Pacific (APAC) countries, a cross-sectional online survey was conducted among adult PwO with self-reported body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 (≥27 kg/m2 , Singapore), and HCPs involved in direct patient care. In total, 10 429 PwO and 1901 HCPs completed the survey. Most PwO (68%) and HCPs (84%) agreed that obesity is a disease; however, a significant proportion of PwO (63%) and HCPs (41%) believed weight loss was the complete responsibility of PwO and only 43% of PwO discussed weight with an HCP in the prior 5 years. Most respondents acknowledged that weight loss would be extremely beneficial to PwO's overall health (PwO 76%, HCPs 85%), although nearly half (45%) of PwO misperceived themselves as overweight or of normal weight. Obesity was perceived by PwO (58%) and HCPs (53%) to negatively impact PwO forming romantic relationships. HCPs cited PwOs' lack of interest (41%) and poor motivation (37%) to lose weight as top reasons for not discussing weight. Most PwO (65%) preferred lifestyle changes over medications to lose weight. PwO and HCPs agreed that lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits were the major barriers to weight loss. Our data highlights a discordance between the understanding of obesity as a disease and the actual behaviour and preferred approaches to manage it among PwO and HCPs. The study addresses a need to align these gaps to deliver optimal care for PwO.

Abstract
Background: A meal replacement (MR) with a low glycemic index (GI) is possibly beneficial for
glycemic control. However, the effects of MR on diabetes mellitus have not been studied
among Thai patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Aim: To compare metabolic outcomes between T2DM patients receiving the new MR formula (ONCE
PRO) and normal controlled diets. Methods: A multicenter, open-labeled, randomized controlled trial was conducted. Eligible
patients received either ONCE PRO for one meal daily with controlled diets or only
controlled diets for 3 months. The differences in metabolic profile between the baseline
and end point of each group and between groups were measured. Results: 110 participants were enrolled; the mean difference and standard deviation in
hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) (%) from baseline were –0.21 ± 0.78 (p = 0.060)
and –0.27 ± 0.60 (p = 0.001) in the MR and control groups,
respectively; however, there was no significant difference between groups
(p = 0.637). Patients consuming a MR instead of breakfast had a
significant decrease in HbA1c (p = 0.040). Body weight (BW) and body
mass index (BMI) were significantly reduced in both groups. There were no significant
change in waist circumference, fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol and
triglycerides. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was significantly decreased
in the MR group compared with the control group (p = 0.049). Conclusions: Short-term conventional diet control and the low-GI MR product were associated with a
decreased BW and BMI. Changes in the other metabolic outcomes, HbA1c, total cholesterol
and triglycerides, were comparable despite ONCE PRO as the MR having a better effect on
LDL-C lowering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid glucose fluctuations over daily period play an important role on diabetic complications. OBJECTIVE To compare glycemic variability, mean plasma glucose, number ofcapillary blood glucose tests, and cost between the Phramongkutklao's diabetic formula and commercial diabetic formula in continuous tube fed patients with stable condition in type 2 diabetes. MATERIAL AND METHOD A cross-over design study was performed between October 2010 and February 2011 in the medical department in Phramongkutklao Hospital. The researchers enrolled type 2 diabetic patients with stable condition who were on continuous tube fed. Seventy-two-hour continuous subcutaneous glucose monitoring was performed in all patients. Comparison ofmean amplitude ofglycemic excursions (MAGE), mean plasma glucose, cost, and number of capillary blood glucose tests were analyzed by using non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Significance was defined as p<0.05. Results: Ten subjects were included in the present study. The Phramongkutklao's Diabetic Formula resulted in significantly lower mean plasma glucose (122±26.25 vs. 144.68±36.91 mg/dL, p = 0.022), cost (550.1±33.57 vs. 797.81±42.29 baht, p = 0.004), and number of capillary blood glucose tests (5±0.94 vs. 5.3±0.82 times, p = 0.083) when compared with commercial diabetic formula, but no significant difference in MAGE level (5.86±2.78 vs. 7.71±4.34 mg/dL, p = 0.333). CONCLUSION The Phramongkutklao's diabetic formula has significantly lower mean plasma glucose, less number of capillary blood glucose tests, and is less expensive than commercial diabetic formula. The glucose variability (MAGE) of the Phramongkutklao diabetic formula has also less than commercial diabetic formula, but does not reach statistical significance. The level ofplasma glucose was lower than 180 mg/dL in both formulas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of generic (Utmos) and original (Actos) 30 mg Pioglitazone tablets. STUDY DESIGN A multicenter, parallel randomized, double-blinded, controlled study. MATERIAL AND METHOD Type 2 diabetic patients, with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA,) > or = 7.0%, who received Metformin not less than 1000 mg/day over three months were recruited. Patients were randomized to receive either generic or original Pioglitazone 30 mg/day for 24 weeks. RESULTS Eighty-five patients were enrolled, forty-four patients received generic Pioglitazone andforty-one received original Pioglitazone. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between generic and original Pioglitazone group. There were significantly reduced HbA(1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and significantly increased HDL-cholesterol from baseline (p < 0.0001) without statistically differences between the two groups. Headache and edema were found in both groups at comparable rates (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Generic Pioglitazone (Utmos) is effective in controlling blood glucose and has similar effects on lipid profile as the original one. Both generic (Utmos) and original (Actos) 30 mg Pioglitazone tablets were not different in the efficacy and safety profiles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate an apolipoprotein B (apo B) level in type 2 diabetic patients who achieved goal of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-c). To identify the percentage of type 2 diabetes patients who achieved goal of apo B level. MATERIAL AND METHOD A cross-sectional study was carried out from 1 October to 31 December 2008. Type2 diabetes patients who attended at diabetes clinics in the Phramongkutklao hospitals have determined the risk for develop cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and set up the goal for lipid level according to consensus statement from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) foundation. Blood test for apo B will be done only the patients who achieved goal of LDL-c and non-HDL-c. RESULTS 133 of the 162 registered diabetic patients can achieve goal of lipid level In this population, 9.7 percent (%) (n = 13) had a history of CVD. ApoB level in diabetic patients with and without CVD is 61.72 +/- 12.63 and 67.2 +/- 12.92 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL), respectively. Nearly ninety-eight percent of patients without cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have achieved apo B (< 90 mg/dL) goal, and 92.3% of patients with CVD have achieved apo B (< 80 mg/dL) goal. The two most commonly used lipid-lowering agents were statins and fibrates. CONCLUSION In patients with type 2 diabetes who achieved goal of LDL-c and non-HDL-c have also achieved apo B level. Thus, apo B measurement in addition to reached LDL-c and non-HDL-c targets may be not necessary especially in diabetic patients who did not previous CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipodystrophy in HIV-infected (LDHIV) patients receiving protease inhibitors (PIs) is associated with dyslipidaemia. Whether lifestyle factors play a role in dyslipidaemia in LDHIV subjects on PIs is not well characterized. METHODS A total of 45 LDHIV male and six LDHIV female patients on PIs were recruited, and data were collected on smoking, exercise, diet (by 3-day food record), and fasting levels of serum lipids and lipoproteins. The relationships between lifestyle factors and metabolic variables were analysed in male patients by Spearman's correlation test and the significant relationships were further analysed by adjusting for age, PI duration, and waist circumference by Spearman's partial correlation test. RESULTS In men, mean (+/-standard deviation) serum concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and non-HDL-C were 212+/-70, 35+/-7.3, 325+/-230 and 169+/-44 mg/dL, respectively. Sixty-seven percent of the men exercised regularly and 31.1% smoked. The reported diet was high in cholesterol (390+/-212 mg) and percentage energy from saturated (12.2+/-3.3%) and trans (2.4+/-1.2%) fats, and low in soluble fibre (6.9+/-2.3 g) compared with recent dietary guidelines. Following adjustments for the confounding variables, percentage energy intake from total protein and animal protein was positively related to TC (r=0.44, P<0.01 and r=0.37, P<0.05, respectively), TG (r=0.40, P<0.01 and r=0.46, P<0.01, respectively) and non-HDL-C (r=0.56, P<0.001 and r=0.49, P<0.01, respectively), that from trans fat was positively related to TG (r=0.34, P<0.05), and soluble fibre was negatively related to non-HDL-C (r=-0.41, P<0.01). Moderate to heavy aerobic exercise tended to be associated with higher HDL-C (r=0.30, P=0.07) whereas smoking was not associated with any of the metabolic variables. CONCLUSIONS Increased intake of total protein, animal protein and trans fat, and reduced soluble fibre consumption contribute to dyslipidaemia in LDHIV subjects on PIs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To obtain the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its associated socioeconomic factors, and also to evaluate the association between percentage body fat (BF) and body mass index (BMI) in a rural Thai population. MATERIAL AND METHOD MS defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. The prevalence of the MS was then determined using the NCEP III criteria with and without the modified waist circumference criteria. BMI indicating normal weight, overweight and obesity as re-defined for the Asian by International Association for the Study of Obesity (IASO), WHO. Four-hundred and four rural Thai men and women aged 35 years and older were evaluated. Data on anthropometry, blood pressure, socioeconomic status, lifestyle-related information, blood studies, and bioelectrical impedance (BIA) values had been collected. RESULTS The prevalence of the MS in the rural Thai people was 18%, but increased to 23% with the modified Asian criteria. High BMI, female gender, and older age were associated with increased odds of the MS. Household income, dietary composition, smoking and drinking status were not associated with increased odds of the MS. There was significant association between percent BF and BMI in men and women in rural Thai population. CONCLUSION The MS was present in about 18% of the rural Thai population and was significantly influenced by body mass index, gender and age. Metabolic syndrome becomes an important problem in rural Thai populations who even live basic lifestyle in the non-urbanized and non-industrialized areas. Identification and clinical management of this high-risk group is an important strategy for coronary heart disease prevention.

Abstract
Homocystinuria is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of amino acid metabolism. Classic (type I) homocystinuria is the most common type and occurs as a consequence of a deficiency of cystathionine-b-synthase, producing increased blood and urine homocysteine. The authors report a 15-year-old Thai male who presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizures from superior sagittal sinus thrombosis, bilateral downward subluxation of ocular lenses (ectopia lentis), Marfanoid habitus, osteoporosis, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. Urine metabolic screening was positive for cyanide nitroprusside test. Levels of plasma homocysteine and methionine were elevated. The clinical and laboratory findings in this case are consistent with the diagnosis of "type I" or "classical homocystinuria". The treatment was started with a low methionine diet, vitamin B6 or pyridoxine, folic acid, anticonvulsants, antithrombotic treatment and calcium supplementation. Genetic counseling was provided to the family with the recurrent risk of 25%. Definite diagnosis by enzyme assay or mutation analysis and also prenatal diagnosis are not established in Thailand.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A greater degree of insulin resistance may predispose to renal injury by worsening renal hemodynamics through the elevation of glomerular filtration fraction. However, there are sparse data on the relationship between insulin resistance, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and body composition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) without diabetes. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the relationship between insulin resistance, total body fat and GFR in CKD without diabetes. MATERIAL AND METHOD The authors screened 84 non-diabetic CKD patients according to the K/DOQI definitions and only 78 patients were enrolled into the study (CKD stages 2-4, GFR between 15 and 90 ml/min/ 1.73 m2). Insulin resistance was evaluated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR). Bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed to determine the percentage of total body fat. GFR was calculated by the average of creatinine and urea clearances. RESULTS The correlation analysis showed that HOMA-IR was positively correlated with percent body fat (r = 0.32, P<0.05), BMI (r = 0.46, P<0.01), serum triglyceride (TG) (r =0.29, P<0.01), and mean arterial pressure (r =0.25, P<0.05), but not significantly correlated with GFR, age, cholesterol, HDL, uric acid and 24-hr urinary protein. CONCLUSION In non-diabetic CKD patients, the independent factor for insulin resistance was the amount of total body fat. The insulin level and HOMA-IR were not dependent on the GFR in the present study.
