We examined the effects of pregnancy and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) on platelet activation. Thirty-six women with PIH (blood pressure > 140/90 mm Hg after two consecutive measurements after the $24^{th}$ weeks of gestation) without proteinuria, fifty-six normotensive pregnant women, and fifty non-pregnant women were studied. WBC, RBC, platelet related variables, including mean platelet component (MPC), mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet component distribution width (PCDW) were determined for this study. MPC levels were significantly lower in women with PIH compared with normotensive pregnant women and non-pregnant women (P<0.05). MPC levels were inversely con-elated with PIH (r=-0.49, P<0.001), systolic BP (r=-0.22, P<0.01), diastolic BP (r=-0.17, P<0.005), WBC (r=-0.30, P<0.001), MPV (r=-0.41, P<0.001), and PCDW (r=-0.68, P<0.001), and positively con-elated with RBC (r=0.32, P<0.001), platelet count (r=0.21, P<0.05), and mean platelet mass (MPM) (r=0.18, P<0.05). MPC levels were found to be an independent factor associated with PIH and PCDW (P<0.01) after adjustments were made for potential confounding factors such as gestational age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, WBC, RBC, Platelet count, and PCDW. In conclusion, MPC levels were significantly lower in women with PIH, and MPC levels were found to be an independent factor associated with PIH and PCDW. Therefore, platelet activation is suggested as a useful predictor for patients with PIH.

The various methods have been studied to develop discriminant model for pregnancy induced hypertension(PIH) as high risk pregnant. In this study, we adapt the approximate entropy which is the non-linear chaotic measuring method. Then, we develop a system to discriminant PIH pregnant using QUEST with S-PLUS.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to validate the Korean version of Partners In Health scale (PIH-K) which is used to measure the self-management of patients with chronic illnesses in Korea. Methods : Translation of the 12-item PIH-K was conducted according to the World Health Organization guidelines. Data from 306 participants who took medicines over 3 months by doctor's prescription were collected from October to November 2017. Validity such as content validity, construct validity, and concurrent validity were conducted using content validity index (CVI), exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA). To evaluate concurrent validity, the correlation coefficients between the PIH-K and concurrent scales (Self-As-Carer Inventory) were calculated. The reliability of the PIH-K was examined using the internal consistency and test-retest reliability tests. Results : The CVI of the PIH-K was 0.91. According to the CFA, factor loadings for four factors ranged from .64 to .97, which explained 67.5% of the total variance. The PIH-K was significantly correlated with concurrent variables such as those on the Self-As-Carer Inventory. The Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ was .86 and the intraclass correlation coefficient for the two-week test-retest reliability was .88. Conclusion : Findings show that the PIH-K is reliable and valid in measuring self-management of patients with chronic illnesses.

Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a reactive hypermelanosis of the skin that occurs as a result of variable inflammatory processes, such as trauma, and many inflammatory conditions. Although a range of modalities of managing PIH have been reported, the treatment of PIH is challenging. In this report, a patient with PIH was treated using picosecond-domain Nd:YAG lasers. After three sessions of 1,064-nm picosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser treatment, the patient showed almost complete improvement with no remarkable side effects or recurrence over the duration of six months. Overall, 1,064-nm picosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser can be used effectively and safely for treating pigmented lesions in the dermis, particularly PIH, in Asian patients.

1993년 9월 1일부터 1994년 9월 30일 까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 산부인과에서 진단, 분만한 35례의 임신성 고혈압 산모와 37례의 정상 만삭임선 산모의 혈액소견과 그 선생아의 혈액소견 및 혈청 철 상태를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 임신성 고혈압 임부에서 혈색소의 증가가 있었다. 임신성 고혈압 및 정산 만삭 임부의 혈색소 농도와 그 신생아의 혈청 철 상태사이에는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 임신성 고혈압 임산부의 신생아와 정상 만삭 임산부의 신생아 제대혈액내의 혈색소 농도 및 hematocrit치는 서로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 임신성 고혈압 임산부의 신생아는 정상 만삭 임산부의 신생아에 비해 제대혈청 철이 다소 증가하고 ferritin이 감소하는 양상을 보였으나 유의한 차이는 없었다. 임신성 고혈압 임산부의 선생아는 정상 만삭 임산부의 신생아에 비해 총 철 결합능 및 불포화철 결합능이 현저히 증가되어 있었다. 임신성 고혈압 임산부의 신생아는 잠재적인 철 결핍의 가능성이 있으며, 출생 후의 급속한 철분의 소모에 대비하여 철 결핍에 대한 주의깊은 관찰과 예방이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.

Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a reactive hypermelanosis of the skin that occurs as a result of various inflammatory responses such as surgical procedure, trauma, and many inflammatory conditions. There are several reported studies of various modality in managing PIH. However, the treatment of PIH can prove to be challenging. In this report, we treated a patient with PIH using picosecond-domain Nd:YAG lasers. After ten sessions of 1,064-nm picosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser treatment, the patient presented considerable improvement with no remarkable side effects or recurrence over the duration of 6 months. We suggest that a 1,064-nm picosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser can be effectively and safely used for treating pigmented lesions resulting from surgical procedure in the skin of Asian patients.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to investigate the perinatal clinical conditions of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants born to mothers with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) focusing on the effects of early postnatal neutropenia. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 191 VLBW infants who were born at Konyang University Hospital, between March 2003 and May 2011. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of the infants and their mothers and compared the incidence of perinatal diseases and mortality of the infants according to the presence or absence of maternal PIH and neutropenia on the first postnatal day. Results: Infants born to mothers with PIH showed an increased incidence of neutropenia on the first postnatal day (47.4%), cesarean delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction. When the infants born to mothers with PIH showed neutropenia on the first postnatal day, their incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) was increased (P=0.031); however, the difference was not found to be significant through logistic regression analysis. In all the VLBW infants, neutropenia on the first postnatal day was correlated with the development of RDS. The incidence of the other perinatal diseases involving sepsis and mortality did not significantly differ according to the presence or absence of neutropenia in infants born to mothers with PIH. Conclusion: In VLBW infants born to mothers with PIH, the incidence of neutropenia on the first postnatal day was increased and it was not significantly correlated with the development of perinatal diseases involving RDS, sepsis, and mortality.

본 연구에서는 정상 만기 산모(30명), 조산모(10명) 및 PIH산모가(8명)출산 초기에 분비한 초유시료에서 5종의 다량 무기질(나트륨 칼륨 칼슘, 인, 마그네슘)과 3종의 미 량원소(철분. 아연. 구리)의 농도를 분석하여 재태기간이나 모체의 합병증에 따른 모유의 무기질 함량을 비교하였고 또한 임신기 무기질 섭취 량과 초유의 무기질 함량과의 상관성을 조사하였다 정상 만기 산모의 임신기 영양소 섭취량은 단백질과 인을 제외하고는 권장량에 미치지 못했으며 칼슘, 철분과 아연의 섭취량은 권장량에 크게 미달되었다. 세 그룹 산모들의 임신기 1일 평균 영양소 섭취량을 비교했을 때, 조산모 그룹에서 칼슘을 제외한 모든 영양소의 섭취량이 가장 저조하였으며 이들의 인과 나트륨 섭취량은 정상 만기 산모의 섭취량 보다 유의적으로 낮았다(p < 0.05). PIH 산모의 영양소 섭취량은 정상 만기 산모그룹과 유사하였지만 이들의 임신기 칼슘 섭취량은 1일 평균 500.9mg으로 세 그룹 중 가장 적었다 세 그룹 산모들의 초유내 무기질 함량을 비교한 결과, 조산모 유즙의 칼륨과 인의 농도는 정상만기 산모의 유즙내 농도 보다 유의적으로 낮았으며(p < 0.05) , 반면 조산모와 PIH산모의 유즙내 철분 함량은 정상 만기 산모의 유즙에 서 보다 유의적으로 높았다(p <0.05). 그 외 그룹간 무기질 및 미량원소의 초유내 함량의 유의적 차이는 없었다. 한편 임신기 모체의 무기질 섭취량과 분만 초기에 분비되는 초유의 무기질 함량과의 상관성 분석에서 정상 만기 산모와 조산모 그룹간의 유의성 있는 상관관계가 관찰되지 않았으나 PIH 산모에서는 칼슘 섭취량과 초유의 칼슘 농도 사이에 유의적인 양의 상관성이 나타났다(p <0.05). 이와 같은 결과로부터 조산모 초유의 일부 무기질 함량이 정상 만기 산모 초유에서 보다 낮은 경향이므로 체내 무기질 저장량이 적고 성장속도가 빠른 조산아의 특성을 고려할 때, 조산모 초유의 무기질 영양은 다소 미흡하다고 사료되나 향후 PT의 성숙유에 대한무기질 함량과 조산아의 섭취량 및 성장패턴을 고려한 무기질 영양평가가 요구된다. 한편 PIH산모의 칼슘섭취 부족이나 또는 이들이 분비한 유즙의 높은 철분 함량과 관련하여 PIH산모에 대한 체계적인 무기질 대사 연구가 병행되어야 할 것이다

This paper analyses the stochastic nature of the Permanent Income Hypothesis (PIH) by specifying the variance-covariance structure of PIH based on Hall and Mishkin[3]. Maximum likelihood is employed to estimate the model by explicitely incorporating the heteroscedastic nature of the data into the likelihood. The data used are individual Korean household consumption and income data. The results indicate that the data are generally consistent with the Permanent Income Hypothesis, and about 11 percent of the total variation in consumption may be attributable to the excess sensitivity of consumption to income.
