Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of anxiety, depression, social support, and physical health status on the health-related quality of life of Korean pregnant women using Spilker's quality of life model. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a correlational design. The participants included 166 pregnant women who were recruited via convenience sampling at two healthcare centers in South Korea. Questionnaires were collected from April 22 to May 29, 2023, in two cities in South Korea. The EuroQol-5D-3L, General Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-2, Perceived Social Support through Others Scale-8, and EuroQol visual analog scale were used to assess the study variables. The t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression tests were conducted using IBM SPSS ver. 26.0. Results: Statistically significant correlations were identified between the health-related quality of life of pregnant women and anxiety (r=.29, p<.001), depression (r=.31, p<.001), social support (r=-.34, p<.001), and physical health status (r=-.44, p<. 001). Physical health status (β=-.31, p<.001) and social support (β=-.21, p=.003) had the greatest effect on health-related quality of life (F=15.50, p<.001), with an explanatory power of 26.0%. Conclusion: The health-related quality of life of pregnant women was affected by social support and physical health status. This study demonstrated that physical health and social support promotion can improve the health-related quality of life of pregnant women. Healthcare providers should consider integrating physical health into social support interventions for pregnant women in the post-pandemic era.

Nine immature 30-day-old female rats were injected sc at 0800 hr with pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin(PMSG) to induce ovulation and mating. Fifty-six hours later the animals were placed with mature male rats overnight (one female and one male). Five of 9 immature female rats treated with PMSG were pregnant and allowed to maintain the pregnancy to term. Three of 5 pregnant rats were failed to maintain pregnancy to term. Two of 5 pregnant rats seemed to be developed normally and increased abdominal enlargement as pregnancy progresses, but did not occurred parturition on day of 43 or 48 of pregnancy, respectively. On day 44 or 49, pregnant rats were killed and examined uterus and ovaries. There was no fetus but approximately 50∼60ml. of mucopurulent fluids were accumulated in the uterine cavity and 40 or 42 corpora lutea persisted in the ovaries. Pyometra was developed after coitus in PMSG-treated immature female rat.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Korean medicine treatment for pregnant women with panic disorder. Methods: We treated pregnant women with panic disorder with Acupuncture, Herb extract granules, and Korean medicine psychotherapy. PDSS, BAI, and BDI were evaluated every two months. Results: PDSS was reduced from 24 points to 8 points. BAI was reduced from 35 points to 10 points. BDI was reduced from 22 points to 8 points. Mental and body symptoms were also reduced. Both mother and the baby were healthy after delivery. No specificities or adverse effects were reported during the entire treatment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test effects of music therapy on stress due to preterm labor and uterine contraction in pregnant women with preterm labor. Methods: An experimental research design was used. Participants were 35 pregnant women with preterm labor who were between 20 to 37 weeks of pregnancy: control group (n=18) received only tocolytic drugs, while experimental group (n=17) received additional music therapy. In the experimental group, Traumerei was applied before Non-Stress Test (NST) from the second day to fifth day after admission as music therapy. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in stress due to preterm labor (z=-3.368, p<.001) between the two groups. Conclusion: The music therapy is an effective method for reducing the stress of pregnant women with preterm labor.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of details on the maternity clothes of one-piece type through visual evaluation which helps compensating pregnant women＇s body defects for their more attractive fashion styles. The data evaluated by a multiple ranking test were analyzed by mean, paired t-test, general linear models procedure and Duncan＇s multiple ranged test. The result are as follows : 1) The pregnant woman wearing the one-piece dress with notched collar, pleats and whole button looks longer in lower part of bodies, smaller in upper body, slimmer, have less appeared bust and abdomen, more balanced as a Whole than when wearing others. And also, it makes a pregnant woman be seen more refined and simple. 2) In case of a pregnant woman, a one-piece dress with notched collar, tuck and whole button makes her look longer in neck, narrower in shoulder, and more active than when wearing others. 3) With roll collar, pleats and whole button, it looks taller and more graceful than when wearing others.

Anti-progesterone monoclonal antibody injected intraperitonially as a single dose(100$\mu\textrm{g}$) 48hours post coitum(p.c.) almostly blocked pregnancy in ICR mice. The blocking rate of pregnancy in mice treated with antibody were decreased proportionally according to dose of antibody injected ; the rate were 60%, 57% and 17% as the antibody of 10$\mu\textrm{g}$, 50$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 100$\mu\textrm{g}$ were injected respectively. Blood serum progesterone concentration was greatly increased(21 times) after treatment(100$\mu\textrm{g}$), by virtue of high-affinity binding by antibody in circulation of non-pregnant mice in coompared with that of control group at day 10 p.c.. The concentration was about 1.6 times higher in the pregnant mice than in the non-pregnant mice in antibody treated group. In control group, the progesterone concentration was over 7 times higher in the pregnant mice than in non-pregnant mice at day 5 p.c..

The author studied the adrenotropic receptors of the non-pregnant uteri of the rabbit and rat, using epinephrine (alpha and beta activator), phenoxybenzamine(alpha blocking agent) and nethalide (beta blockade), and obtained the following results: 1. The spontaneous motility of isolated non-pregnant uteri from rabbits were stimulated by epinephrine, whereas that of isolated non-pregnant rat uterus was inhibited by epinephrine. 2. Both alpha and beta adrenergic receptors were present in the uterine muscle of both animals. 3. In the non-pregnant rabbit uterus, alpha receptors were predominant, whereas in the non -pregnant rat uterus, beta receptors preponderated over alpha receptors.

When performing Chest x-ray examination to pregnant woman, normally we shield back side of abdomen. In this situation, scattered rays made by equipment and surrounding structure can enter front side of abdomen. Therefore, in this study, we evaluate suitability of abdomen shield especially to pregnant woman. In case of One shielding material placed back of abdomen, the measured value is $0.676{\pm}0.19uSv/hr$. Two shielding material is $0.764{\pm}0.04uSv/hr$. Three is $0.685{\pm}0.16uSv/hr$. The exposure dose inferred in this study does not excess annual effective dose limit. But It is not mean absolute safety. So we have to minimize occurrence of stochastic effect of radiosensitivity by shielding front side of abdomen of pregnant woman in clinic.
