목적: 급성 호흡곤란 증후군은 높은 사망률을 보이지만, 저환기요법 외에는 입증된 치료법이 부족한 실정이고, 염증 반응 억제를 통한 치료법은 실패한 상황이다. 경구용 혈당강하제인 metformin이 항염 작용이 있다고 보고되었으나 급성 호흡곤란 증후군의 예후에 미치는 영향은 알려져 있지 않아 이를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2005년 1월 1일부터 2015년 4월 30일까지 서울대학교병원 내과계중환자실에 입실한 급성 호흡곤란 증후군 환자 중 당뇨가 동반된 환자들을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 입원 전 3개월 내 metformin 처방된 경우 metformin 사용군으로 정의되었다. Propensity score matching 후 30일 사망률을 분석하였다. 성적: 당뇨가 동반된 급성 호흡곤란 증후군 환자 128명들 중 metformin 사용군은 33명이었다. Propensity score matching 후 30일 사망률은 metformin 사용군에서 낮았으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다 (42.4 vs. 56.4%, P=0.265). Ventilator free days 와 ICU free days 도양군간 차이는 없었다. 다변량 회귀분석에서 metformin 사용 여부는 30일 사망률을 감소시키는 경향을 보였으나, 역시 통계적인 유의성은 없었다 (s-coefficient -0.19, 95% CI -1.76-1.39, P=0.816). 결론: 중환자실 입실 이전 사용된 metformin 은 급성 호흡곤란 증후군 환자의 사망률을 감소시키는 경향을 보였으나 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다.

Metformin is the most often prescribed first-line oral antidiabetic. This review summarized the effects of Metformin on the body, its role in diabetes prevention and treatment, and the adverse effects of metformin administration. A PubMed search for metformin-related papers in diabetic patients was performed. We included articles on any metformin oral dosage in people with or without type 2 diabetes that reported favorable and unfavorable outcomes. Relevant studies from the references provided were reviewed. Metformin controls the blood glucose level by multiple mechanisms. These include increasing the cell sensitivity to insulin and reducing endogenous glucose secretion by the liver. Also, Metformin has been shown to assist in weight reduction in obese patients. Some early investigations showed that lifestyle changes and Metformin significantly reduced the incidence of diabetes in high-risk people, and lifestyle interventions were more effective than Metformin. Some trials indicated Metformin was not associated with any significant endangerment or advantage in terms of cardiovascular incidents. However, Metformin tended to be more effective in longer trials involving younger individuals regarding cardiovascular outcomes. The microvascular complication prevalence was insignificant between Metformin and other treatment interventions including placebo and lifestyle interventions. The gastrointestinal symptoms are common with metformin use as compared to placebo. Metformin increased the risk of lactic acidosis, especially in moderate and severe renal impairment settings, thus considered contraindicated. However, due to the low reported incidence of lactic acidosis associated with Metformin and the potential protective properties on the kidney, heart, and liver, it is advised to carefully balance the risk and benefits of Metformin when treating diabetes. In addition, Metformin has been shown to cause consequences other than gastrointestinal symptoms, such as vitamin B12 deficiency which can lead to hematologic issues, such as anaemia and peripheral neuropathy. Thus, periodic measurement of vitamin B12 for individuals treated with Metformin is recommended.

Metformin is an oral hypoglycemic agent that is commonly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. While metformin-associated metabolic acidosis is a widely recognized side effect of this drug, metformin-induced hepatotoxicity has been rarely reported in the literature. We present herein the case of a 52-year-old male in whom metformin-associated lactic acidosis and metformin-induced hepatotoxicity developed.

As a safe and effective antidiabetic drug , metformin has been considered to be the first line drug for the therapy of diabetes. With further research on metformin, it turns out that metformin can not only lower blood glucose but also display certain benefits for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which is independent of the hypoglycemic effect of metformin. Furthermore, metformin can block cancer cells growth by activation of AMP-activated protein kinase and inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway. In recent years, the effects of metformin on anti-atherosclerosis, endothelial function protection and other cardiovascular benefits have also become a research hotspot.

To evaluate evidence from the medical literature that metformin is effective in preventing type 2 diabetes.Primary literature was accessed via a MEDLINE search (1966-December 2003) using the terms metformin, type 2 diabetes, and prevention.Two studies evaluated metformin's potential to prevent type 2 diabetes, finding that metformin maintained or reduced fasting blood glucose in non-diabetics. Recently, a large study by the Diabetes Prevention Program showed that metformin may reduce the incidence of diabetes. Researchers compared lifestyle changes, metformin therapy, and placebo groups. They found that both lifestyle changes (58%) and metformin therapy (31%) significantly reduced the occurrence of type 2 diabetes versus placebo.These studies provide evidence that metformin may reduce the occurrence of type 2 diabetes. Because long-term efficacy has not been determined, further studies are needed.

Metformin is the most widely prescribed drug to treat patients with type II diabetes, for whom retrospective studies suggest that metformin may have anticancer properties. However, in experiments performed with isolated cells, authors have reported both pro- and anti-apoptotic effects of metformin. The exact molecular mechanism of action of metformin remains partly unknown despite its use for over 60 years and more than 17,000 articles in PubMed. Among the various widely recognized or recently proposed targets, it has been reported consistently that metformin is capable of inhibiting mitochondrial respiratory chain Complex I. Since most of the effects of metformin have been replicated by other inhibitors of Complex I, it has been suggested that the mechanism of action of metformin involved the inhibition of Complex I. However, compared to conventional Complex I inhibitors, the metformin-induced inhibition of Complex I has unique characteristics. Among these, the most original one is that the concentrations of metformin required to inhibit Complex I are lower in intact cells than in isolated mitochondria. Experiments with isolated cells, mitochondria or Complex I were generally performed using millimolar concentrations of metformin, while plasma levels remain in the micromolar range in both human and animal studies, highlighting that metformin concentration is an important issue. In order to explain the effects in animals based on observations in cells and mitochondria, some authors proposed a direct effect of the drug on Complex I involving an accumulation of metformin inside the mitochondria while others proposed an indirect effect (the drug no longer having to diffuse into the mitochondria). This brief review attempts to: gather arguments for and against each hypothesis concerning the mechanism by which metformin inhibits Complex I and to highlight remaining questions about the toxicity mechanism of metformin for certain cancer cells.

목적: Metformin은 암 발생 위험 및 사망률을 낮추는 효과가 있다. 당뇨를 동반한 4기 대장암 환자에서 metformin의 효과는 알려져 있지 않으며, 이번 연구는 당뇨를 동반한 4기 대장암 환자에서 항암약물요법 반응 및 생존율에 대한 metformin의 효과를 후향적으로 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 당뇨를 동반한 4기 대장암으로 진단된 106명의 환자 중 완화항암약물치료를 받은 81명의 환자와 근치적 수술을 시행한 25명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 연구를 하였다. 각 군에서 metformin 사용여부에 따라 대상 환자의 임상적 특징 및 종양반응, 생존율 등을 조사하여 비교하였다. 결과: 완화항암약물요법을 시행한 환자군에서 metformin 복용군과 비복용군으로 나누어 단변량 및 다변량 분석을 시행한 결과, 항암약물요법 후 첫 번째 반응평가, 표적 병변의 크기 변화율, 무진행 생존율, 전체 생존율은 차이가 없었다. 근치적수술 환자군에서 무병 생존율은 metformin 복용군이 비복용군에 비하여 높았고(p=0.012), 다변량 분석에서도 암 재발률이 유의하게 적었다(HR, 0.024; 95% CI 0.001-0.435; p=0.010). 그러나 전체 생존율에서는 차이가 없었다. 결론: 당뇨를 동반한 4기 대장직장암 환자에서 근치적 수술 후 metformin을 복용하는 것은 암 재발률을 감소시키는 효과를 나타냈다.
