Purpose : This study was performed to compare complications and perinatal factors according to the birth weight groups in the infants of diabetic mothers(IDM). Methods : Three hundred and one singleton diabetic mothers and their babies of more than 30 weeks' gestational age admitted in the department of Pediatrics, Chonnam University Hospital from January 1996 to March 2002 were enrolled. Complications and perinatal factors were compared between large for gestational age(LGA) and appropriated for gestational age(AGA) infants. Results : Hypomagnesemia was observed in 37.5%, jaundice in 21.3%, hypoglycemia in 11.1%, hypocalcemia in 7.0%, and birth injury in 19.6%. Congenital anomaly was noted in 24.9% with cardiovascular anomaly most commonly. In the LGA group, the frequencies of jaundice, hypoglycemia, tachypnea, and birth injuries were higher, and the interventricular septum was thicker than the AGA group. In the LGA group, Cesarean section rate, maternal height, weight before pregnancy, weight gain during pregnancy, and the incidence of unawareness of gestational DM were significant compared with the AGA group. Conclusion : In the LGA group, the frequencies of jaundice, hypoglycemia, tachypnea, and birth injuries were higher, and the interventricular septum was thicker than the AGA group. In the LGA group, maternal height, weight before pregnancy and weight gain during pregnancy were larger, and the incidence of unawareness of gestational DM was higher compared with the AGA group. These results suggest that careful examination and management are needed to detect the high risk, pregnant DM mothers with possible LGA babies.

Background: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence and its correlation to the underlying diseases of women in Daegu. Materials and Methods: Urinary incontinence questionnaire regarding age, body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), parity, delivery mode, menopausal status, history of hormonal replacement therapy, abortion history, and any underlying diseases were administered from May to November, 2001 to 412 women over 20 who had been randomly selected from the Outpatient Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Yeungnam University. The clinical characteristics of women who experience, and those who do not experience urinary incontinence were compared by means of the Student's t-test for continuous variables and by the Pearson's Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the urinary incontinent group (N=193) was 44.2 years. There was a significant increase in the prevalence of incontinence with the increase of age (p=0.000). The prevalence of urinary incontinence was significantly related to the number of deliveries and the mode of delivery (p=0.007, p=0.001) No significant relationship was demonstrated between urinary incontinence and BMI (body mass index); the number of abortions; hormonal status; or any underlying diseases such as thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic respiratory disease. Also, most of the urinary incontinent women didn't recognize their incontinence as pathological and consequently, didn't consult a physician. Conclusion: Our study indicates that the prevalence of urinary incontinence is significantly correlated to age, parity, and the mode of delivery. Most of the middle-aged women who suffered from urinary incontinence didn't recognize their incontinence a pathological. Those results suggest that women in this age group need more information and more education about urinary incontinence.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia among women with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This cross-sectional study of 288 women with rheumatoid arthritis was conducted in a university-affiliated hospital. Data were collected by reviewing the women's medical charts and self-report questionnaires. Results: The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia was 27.8%, 5.9% and 48.3%, respectively. Despite the high prevalence of dyslipidemia, the subjects'awareness of it and its treatment rates were the lowest, which resulted in a low control rate. Of the 288 subjects, 158 (55%) had at least one of the three conditions. The prevalence of the combination of cardiovascular risk factors increased with age, and 32.7% of those aged 60 or older had two or three of the cardiovascular risk factors. Combinations of cardiovascular risk factors were significantly related with severe pain and fatigue. Conclusion: Cardiovascular risk factors were highly prevalent among the women with rheumatoid arthritis, but the rates of awareness, treatment, and control were suboptimal. There is a pressing need to facilitate the prevention, early detection and appropriate management of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia among patients with rheumatoid arthritis in order to prevent cardiovascular disease.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing worldwide. T2DM is one of the most common types of diabetes and is caused by increased insulin resistance and reduced insulin secretion. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1 alpha (PPARGC1A) is a master modulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and of gluconeogenesis in liver. In this study, we analyzed genetic polymorphisms of PPARGC1A gene in a middle-aged Korean population with T2DM. Using the genotype data of 736 T2DM cases and 4544 healthy controls obtained from the Korean Association Resource (KARE), we analyzed genetic correlations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PPARGC1A and T2DM. Fifteen SNPs of PPARGC1A demonstrated a statistically significant association with T2DM. Of these, rs10212638 exhibited the strongest correlation with T2DM (P-value=0.015, OR=1.29, CI=1.05~1.59), and the minor G allele of PPARGC1A increased the risk of T2DM. This is the first study to report a significant association between genetic polymorphisms in PPARGC1A and T2DM and suggests that SNPs of PPARGC1A display genetic correlations to the etiology of T2DM.

Diabetes is chronic disease that is rapidly increasing in prevalence around the world, and mortality from complications continues to rise. This has made blood glucose management a critical challenge for modern society. The main methods used to manage blood glucose are diet, exercise, and medication. Among these, diet is one of the fundamental foundations of blood glucose management, avoiding foods that cause high blood glucose and minimizing blood glucose fluctuations, and is more accessible to people with diabetes as well as the general population. Currently, several platforms, both domestic and international, offer meal planning services, but this is mainly done by users or professional coaches. Accordingly, this paper implements an accurate Kcal calculation model based on DNN and presents a series of dietary algorithms for blood glucose management based on this.

This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of chronic disease and utilization of medical facility in rural area. 5,797 persons were randomly selected from 28,883 rural residents who were over 30 years old and living in Moonkyung city in Kyungsangpook Province during the period October 1 1983 to February 28 1994. The person prevalence rate was 336 per 1,000. The prevalence rate in men(278 per 1,000) was higher than that(388 per 1,000) in women. The spell prevalence rate in men(367) was significantly higher than that(429) in women (p<0.05). The prevalence was increased with the age, 106 in the 30's. 223 in the40's, 336 in the 50's, 407 in the 60's, and 457 in the age group of 70 above. Of all chronic diseases, the prevalence of neuralgia ranked first(128), chronic gastrointestinal disorders(64), degenerative arthritis(54). hypertension (44) and diabetes (14) were followed in descending order. In men, the prevalence of neuralgia ranked first, chronic gastrointestinal disorders, degenerative arthritis, hypertension and bronchial asthma were followed in descending order. In women, the prevalence of neuralgia ranked first, degenerative arthritis, chronic gastrointestinal disorders, hypertension and diabetes were followed in descending order. The prevalences of neuralgia, degenerative arthritis and hypertension were significantly higher in women than those in men, however, those of cardiovascular disease, pulmonary tuberculosis and liver cirrhosis in men were significantly higher than those in women(p<0.05). Most patients with chronic diseases were more likely to utilize hospital and/or local clinics than public health facility or community health providers. Patients with neuralgia, degenerative arthritis and bronchial asthma tended to utilizing local clinics initially, however, they were changed to visit public health facility or community health providers afterwards. Patients with hypertension or pulmonary tuberculosis were more likely to visit public health facility, however, those with diabetes, cancer, heart failure, CVD, liver cirrhosis were more likely to visit hospital.

대사증후군은 비만, 이상지혈증, 고혈압, 당뇨병이나 내당능 장애가 동반되어 나타나는 증후군이다. 근래 들어 우리나라도 점차 비만 인구가 증가함에 따라 대사증후군의 유병률이 빠르게 증가하는 추세를 보여. 대사증후군에 대한 간단한 개념 정리를 하였다. 먼저 대사증후군의 정의와 진단기준을 살펴보았다. 1998년 대사증후군을 명명하고 진안기준을 제시한 WHO 진단기준, NCEP-ATP III 진단기준, 인슐린 저항성 증후군의 진단기준을 살펴보고, 기타 인종에 따른 허리 둘레 기준 및 IDF 정의를 살펴 보았다. 또한 대사증후군과 관련된 여러 인자들도 다시 확인해보고, AHA/NHLBI 진단 기준도 살펴 보았다. 우리나라는 대부분 연구에서 NCEP-ATP III 기준을 적용하고 있는데, 그 내용은 복부 비만 허리둘레 남자 102cm 이상, 여자 88cm 이상, 중성 지방 150mg/dl 이상, HDL-콜레스테롤 남자 40mg/dl 미만, 여자 50mg/dl 미만, 혈압 130/85 mmHg 이상, 공복 혈당 110mg/dl 이상이다. 복부 비만의 경우는 2000년 제정된 WHO 서태평양 지역 기준인 남자 90cm, 여자 80cm 이상으로 적용하고 있다. 다음 치료의 기본 개념을 간단히 언급 하였는데, 가장 중요한 치료는 우선적으로 생활 습관의 개선을 꼽을 수 있으며, 기타 약물요법 및 인슐린 저항성 개선제 등이 있다. 우리나라 에서도 심혈관계 질환과 당뇨병이 점차 사망 원인의 우위를 차지 하고 있으므로 대사증후군을 초기에 진단하고 관리하는 노력이 매우 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 생명보험사도 대사증후군을 하나의 증후군으로 인식하여 대사증후군의 전반적인 이해가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

There is a need to develop a data quality management algorithm in order to improve the quality of health care data. In this study, we developed a data quality control algorithms associated diseases related to diabetes in patients with hypertension. To make a data quality algorithm, we extracted hypertension patients from 2011 and 2012 discharge damage survey data. As the result of developing Data quality management algorithm, significant factors in hypertension patients with diabetes are gender, age, Glomerular disorders in diabetes mellitus, Diabetic retinopathy, Diabetic polyneuropathy, Closed [percutaneous] [needle] biopsy of kidney. Depending on the decision tree results, we defined Outlier which was probability values associated with a patient having diabetes corporal with hypertension or more than 80%, or not more than 20%, and found six groups with extreme values for diabetes accompanying hypertension patients. Thus there is a need to check the actual data contained in the Outlier(extreme value) groups to improve the quality of the data.
