The study was a mixed design study that analyzed the effects of developing and applying a program to improve pregnancy recognition for severe low fertility. The study period was from April 1, 2018, to October 26, 2018, and the participants included 16 women of 19~21 age who lived in M City and M Gun. The process of program development is based on Dorothy Johnson 's theory of behavior system to induce change of perception, and reference literature review and national policy report. The program developed through the literature was finally developed by examining the experts panel discussion after deriving causes and alternatives for low fertility from 25 fertility women. The contents of program consist of three areas. Quantitative research results were analyzed using Shapiro Wilk and Wilcoxon sign rank using SPSS 18.0, and qualitative research results were analyzed using focus group. As a result of study, the perception of pregnancy increased significantly (P<0.01) with statistical significance as pre-experimental (M=3.21, SD=.342), post-experimental (M=4.46, SD=.398) and the result of content analysis appeared three themes as , , . In conclusion, the program was effective in improving the recognition of pregnancy for young women.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of decursin (D) and decursinol angelate (DA) against bisphenol A (BPA) toxicity in a rat two-generation study. Adult rats were divided into the following three groups: (1) control, (2) BPA, and (3) BPA+D/DA. The D and DA treatment of F0 parents increased the terminal body weight and relative adult organ weights (testes, kidneys, spleen, and liver) when compared with the BPA group. A significant decrease in sperm count was found in the BPA+D/DA (7.69%) and BPA (64.70%, p<0.01) groups, when compared with the sperm count in the control group. No offspring were obtained in the F1 generation of the BPA (50 mg/kg/day) group, but the addition of D/DA in the BPA+D/DA group significantly restored fertility (55.78%) and gestation indices (98.87%) in the F1 generation. No significant differences were found in the fertility index between the control (75.02%) and the BPA+D/DA (78.11%) groups in the two-generation study, when compared with the one-generation study. The viability ratio during lactation in the D/DA group was also similar to that of the control group. These data indicate that D/DA (50 mg/kg/day) administered over two generations causes significant positive changes in reproductive or developmental parameters.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes of mothers' condition including the level of knowledge and parenting stress that mothers have on infant development. The subjects of this study are 270 mothers whose infants range in age from birth to 36 months. The instruments used are: 1)KCDI(Knowledge of Child Development Inventory, Larsen & Juhasz, 1985) 2)Parenting Stress Scale(Kim & Kang, 1997), and a demographic questionnaire. The data analyses use SPSS 12.0 which employs basic statistics, reliability test, and t-test. This study is time-lag design covering five years. Therefore, the data collected originates from 2002 and 2007 to constitute input from two times. The results of this study indicate that the average pregnancy from the 2007 statistics occurred 0.46 months earlier, after marriage, as compared to pregnancies in 2002. Mothers who gave birth by natural birth increased from 59.9 % to 75.3 % over the five year period. Regarding knowledge of infant development, the level of mothers' knowledge was lower in 2007 than in 2002 according to study results. The level of parenting stress of mothers increased for the 2007 statistics as compared to the 2002 survey.

담배에 대한 첫 번째 질문. 흡연은 습관일까? 질병일까? 혹시 습관이라고 답했다면 당신의 담배에 대한 인식이 적어도 20년은 뒤쳐졌다. 흡연에 따른 건강악화가 사회적 문제로 대두되면서 흡연은 '질병'으로 인식되는 추세이다. 특히 성장이 끝나지 않은 청년기의 흡연이나 임신과 출산을 겪을 여성의 흡연은 더 큰 사회적 문제로 부각되고 있다. 청소년과 여성의 흡연, 무엇이 문제일까?

당뇨병이 여성에게 특히 더 많이 생기는 것은 아니다. 하지만 남성과는 다른 당뇨병의 위험요소를 여성은 가지고 있다. 임신이 첫 번째 요인이요, 폐경후 호르몬 변화가 두 번째 요인이다. 이 때문에 당뇨가 있는 여성은 결혼 생활과 임신, 출산 등에 대하여 불안을 느끼고 걱정을 많이 한다. 그들의 고민을 들어보자.

결혼을 앞두고 준비할 것도 점검할 것도 많지만, 가장 먼저 체크해야 할 것은 건강검진이다. 백년해로와 2세 준비를 위해 예비부부에게 건강검진은 필수이다. 예비부부를 위한 검사는 일반 건강검진과 큰 차이는 없다. 보통 기본검사에서 임신과 출산, 생식기능, 성병 검사 등이 추가된다. 5월에는 신호부부 건강검진에 대해 알아본다.

아이를 가진 임신부의 공통된 고민은 '나중에 원래 몸매로 돌아올 수 있을까'다. 아이의 건강을 생각해 부족하지 않은, 또 균형 잡힌 영양을 섭취해야 하는 건 당연하다. 그렇다고 몸에 좋다는 것 다 먹다 보면 출산 후 비만으로 고생하지 않을까 걱정도 된다. 아이를 낳고도 날씬한 몸매를 유지하는 연예인들을 보면 더욱 그렇다. "도대체 적당히 먹는 건 어느 정도이지?" 이 까다로운 질문에 참고할 만한 좋은 정보가 있다.

The causes of aortic dissection are usually hypertension, connective tissue disease such as Marfan syndrome, congenital valvular abnormality such as bicuspid aortic valve, iatrogenic injury, pregnancy and drugs. Previous studies have shown that 50% of all dissections in women less than 40 years age were associated with pregnancy. Almost all aortic dissections during pregnancy occur during the third trimester or during labor and delivery. Marfan's syndrome is a particularly important predisposing factor for aortic dissection during pregnancy. We report here on a case of surgical treatment for acute type II aortic dissection in a Marfan syndrome patient who was 24 weeks pregnant, and we include a review of literature.

자궁경부 무력증은 여러 원인으로 자궁경부가 약해져, 출산 때까지 튼튼하게 버텨 주어야 할 자궁경부가 임신 4~5개월 쯤에 스르르 열리면서 유산되어 버리는 경우이다. 자궁은 몸체와 경부로 구성되는데, 임신이 진행되어 자궁이 커져가게 되면 자궁경부에는 태아와 양수를 포함한 물리적인 힘이 부과된다. 그 엄청난 힘을 자궁경부는 대부분의 경우 잘 견디어서, 40주까지 안전하게 엄마의 자궁 안에서 애기를 잘 자라게 한다. 그러나 자궁경부가 약해져서 임신 중반기 이후부터 커져가는 부담을 견딜 수 없는 경우, 자궁경부가 열려서 조산이 된다. 임신 중반기 조산의 가장 흔한 원인이 이러한 자궁경부 무력증이다. 만약 임신 중반기에 조산을 한 경력이 있다면, 자궁경부 무력증에 대해 의심을 해 보고 반드시 다음 임신을 위하여 산부인과 의사의 상담을 받아야 하며, 임신이 되면 정밀하게 진단해야 한다. 진단이 확실한 경우 반드시 자궁경관봉축술을 받아야 한다. 수술의 효과는 아주 좋다. 경부무력증은 선천적으로 자궁 자체가 약한 경우도 있지만, 대부분은 과거 임신중절 수술이 원인으로 알려져 있다. 그리고 자궁경부암의 진단과 치료를 위하여 시행하는 원추절개수술도 원인이 될 수 있다.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) is released from the macrophages and endothelial cells, regulated luteotropic and luteolytic actions of macrophages and induced luteolysis. However, the mechanisms of MCP-1 on the development and maintenance of pregnant corpora lutea are thoroughly unknown. In this experiment, TUNEL stain, ED1, ED2, and MCP-1 immunohistochemistry on the corpora lutea of pregnant rats were carried out to reveal the role of macrophages in the developing corpora lutea. In the postpartum corpora lutea, the number of macrophages was increased significantly, and the intensity of ED1 and ED2 immunoreactivity in macrophages were increased moderately, and MCP-1 immunoreactivity was also increased. In conclusion, macrophages in the postpartum corpora lutea may exert phagocytic action mainly, and the macrophages in the pregnant corpora lutea maintain the structure and function of lutein cells.
