A total of 377 pregnant women, 43 pelvic tumor patients and 80 of multiphysic health center persons as controls were examined by indirect latex agglutination test in order to evaluate Toxoplasma antibody titers at Kang-Nam St. Mary's Hospital in Seoul. Throughout this survey, 1 : 32 or more titers of diluted sera were regarded as positive. 1. The 377 samples of test sera in pregnant women showed negatives in 319 cases (84.6%), 1 : 2 in 44 cases (11.7%), 1:4 in 9 cases (2.4%), 1:8 in 2 cases (0.5%), 1:16 in 1 case (0.3%) and 1 : 32 in 2 cases (0.5%) respectively. 2. The 43 samples of test sera in pelvic tumor patients showed negatives in 29 cases (67.4%), 1:2 in 8 cases(18.6%), 1:4 in 1 case(2.3%), 1:16 in 2 cases (4.7%), 1:32 in 1 case(2.3%) and 1 : 128 in 2 cases (4.7%). 3. The 80 samples of test sera in multiphysic health center persons as controls negatives in 56 cases (70.0%), 1.2 in 19 cases (23.8%), 1:4 in 3 cases (3.8%), 1:8 in 1 case (1.3%) and 1 : 128 in 1 case (1.3%). 4. Among total 420 study cases, 5 cases (1.2%) showed Positives, and they were 2 cases (0.5%) of pregnant women and 3 cases (7.0%) of pelvic tumor patients. 5. One case (1.3%) out of 80 control sera showed positive result.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of a simple and practical shielding device to reduce the fetal dose for a pregnant patient undergoing radiation therapy of brain metastasis. Materials and Methods: The dose to the fetus was evaluated by simulating the treatments using the anthropomorphic phantom. The prescription dose at mid-brain is $300cGy{\times}10$ fractions with 6 MV photon with $18{\times}22cm^2$ field size. The additional shielding devices to reduce the fetal dose are a shielding wall, cerrobend plates and lead (Pb) sheets over acrylic bridge. Various points of measurement with off-field distance were detected by using ion-chamber (30, 40, 50, and 60 cm) with and without the shielding devices and TLD (30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 cm) only with the shielding devices. Results: The doses to the fetus without shielding were 3.20, 3.21, 1.44, 0.90 cGy at the distances of 30, 40, 50, and 60 cm from the treatment field edge. With shielding, the doses were reduced to 0.88, 0.60, 0.35, 0.25 cGy, and the ratio of the shielding effect varied from 70% to 80%. TLD results were 1.8, 1.2, 0.8, 1.2, and 0.8 cGy (70 cm). The total dose to the fetus was expected to be under 1 cGy during the entire treatment. Conclusion: The essential point during radiation therapy of pregnant patient would be minimizing the fetal dose. 10 cGy to 20 cGy is the threshold dose for fetal radiation effects. Our newly developed device reduced the fetal dose far below the safe level. Therefore, our additional shielding devices are useful and effective to reduce the fetal dose.

질염 환자의 질분비물 도말에서 광학현미경상에서 고배율로 관찰한 결과 정상 상피세포에서는 질내 정상 pH를 유지하기 위해 무수한 젖산균의 존재를 확인할수 있었다. 그러나 저배율, 고배율의 광학현미경상에서 진균에 감염된 세포 주변에서 젖산균(lactobacilli)은 관찰되지 않았다. 주사전자 현미경 상에서 Candida albicans는 기능을 탈락한 상피세포의 세포질에 기생하며, biofilm의 성장환경을 만들며, budding을 통해 2차 딸세포를 형성하며, 성장과 증식을 끊임없이 반복함을 확인하였다. 성장과 재생이 주기적으로 일어나지 않은 면역력이 약화된 임산부나, 호르몬의 부족으로 인한 위축성 질염 환자는 상피세포층이 떨어지면서 나오는 글리코겐을 이용해 질내에 존재하는 lactobacilli균이 젖산을 풍부하게 만들 수 없으므로 감염증 발생이 더 높아진 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose : To estimate the dose to the embryo/fetus of a pregnant patient with brain tumors, and to design an shielding device to keep the embryo/fetus dose under acceptable levels Materials and Methods : A shielding wall with the dimension of 1.55 m height, 0.9 m width, and 30 m thickness is fabricated with 4 trolleys under the wall. It is placed between a Patient and the treatment head of a linear accelerator to attenuate the leakage radiation effectively from the treatment head, and is placed 1 cm below the lower margin of the treatment field in order to minimize the dose to a patient from the treatment head. An anti-patient scattering neck supporters with 2 cm thick Cerrobend metal is designed to minimize the scattered radiation from the treatment fields, and it is divided into 2 section. They are installed around the patient neck by attach from right and left sides. A shielding bridge for anti-room scattered radiation is utilized to place 2 sheets of 3 mm lead plates above the abdomen to setup three detectors under the lead sheets. Humanoid phantom is irradiated with the same treatment parameters, and with and without shielding devices using TLD, and ionization chambers with and without a build-up cap. Results : The dose to the embryo/fetus without shielding was 3.20, 3.21, 1.44, 0.90 cGy at off-field distances of 30, 40, 50, and 60 cm. With shielding, the dose to embryo/fetus was reduced to 0.88, 0.60, 0.35, 0.25 cGy, and the ratio of the shielding effect varied from 70% to 80%. TLD results were 1.8, 1.2, 0.8, 1.2, and 0.8 cGy. The dose measured by the survey meter was 10.9 mR/h at the patient's surface of abdomen. The dose to the embryo/fetus was estimated to be about 1 cGy during the entire treatment. Conclusion : According to the AAPM Report No 50 regarding the dose limit of the embryo/fetus during the pregnancy, the dose to the embryo/fetus with little risk is less than 5 cGy. Our measurements satisfy the recommended values. Our shielding technique was proven to be acceptable.

Objectives : Postpartum depression is known to occur in 10-15% of mothers. The concentration of cytokine varies depending on stress, depression, pregnancy and general medical conditions. We hypothesized that the concentration of cytokines may be related to reproduction and childbirth, and that women with postpartum depression would show alterations in cytokines levels. Methods : A total of 104 pregnant women were selected as subjects, and 60 non-pregnant women were selected as normal controls. Symptoms of depression were evaluated in the pregnant study subjects using the diagnostic criteria outlined in the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). The pregnant subjects were divided into three groups perinatal non-depression controls (n=61), postpartum depression-recovery (n=18), and postpartum depression (n=25). Results : The plasma concentration of TGF-β1, IGF-1 was higher in the pregnant group than in non-pregnant controls (TGF-β1 ; p<0.01, IGF-1 ; p=0.026). At 24 weeks of pregnancy and 6 weeks of delivery, there were no significant differences in the plasma concentration of TGF-β1, IGF-1, β-NGF, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α between the three groups. There was no statistically significant difference in all three groups during the course of depression in pregnant women. Conclusions : This study found significant difference in plasma cytokines concentrations between non-pregnant controls and perinatal non-depression controls.

Appendicitis of pregnancy woman is appeared one of every 1000. This is the most common disease that needs operation except for uterus related diseases. This case is about a woman patient who is 10week pregnancy. She had lower abdominal pain and her case was diagnosed as appendicitis in general hospital. For fear of antibiotics, she went to our hospital. We diagnosed her as soeumin. We treated her with Soeumin Gwaghyangjunggisan for 1 week. We also experienced good effect of Soeumin Gwaghyangjunggisan to appendicitis of pregnancy woman. So we report it.

호박(Cucurbita moschta DUCH)은 한국인들이 즐겨먹는 식용자원으로서 독특한 향미와 약리작용을 갖고 있다. 또한 기후 환경에 대한 적응력이 높고 병해충에도 비교적 강하여 농약사용이 적은 무공해 식품으로 알려져 있다. 호박의 과육에는 혈전증 예방과 두뇌발달에 기여하는 $\alpha$-linoleic acid가 다량 함유되어 있고, 비타민 A의 전구체인 $\beta$-carotene이 풍부하며, 위장이 약한 사람, 회복기의 환자, 부기가 있는 산모에게 좋은 식품으로 애용되어 왔다. 또한 예로부터 호박씨는 독성이 없으므로 어린이, 임산부, 허약자의 조충, 구제약으로 또는 젖이 잘 나지 않을 때에도 많이 쓰여왔다. 그리고 호박꽃은 잎과 함께 식용으로 널리 이용되었을 뿐 아니라 벌레에 물렸거나 상처 난 곳에 으깨어 문지르면 효과가 있어 민간요법으로 사용되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 전역에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 호박꽃의 생리활성능을 검색해 봄으로써 천연기능성 식품 소재로의 활용가능성을 제시해 보고자 하였다.
