  • Backgrounds/Aims: Acute cholecystitis is a rare condition in pregnant women, potentially affecting the maternal and fetal prognosis. Our aim was to report the main clinical and paraclinical features of acute cholecystitis during pregnancy and therapeutic modalities. Methods: We conducted a case series analysis recording pregnant patients with acute cholecystitis admitted to our surgery department over a period of 11 years. We collected clinical data, paraclinical features, and management modalities related to cholecystitis. Results: There were 47 patients. Twenty-eight percent was in the first trimester of pregnancy, 40% in the second, and 32% in the third trimester. Abdominal pain was located in the right hypochondrium in 75% of cases. Fever was noted in 21% of cases. C-reactive protein was elevated in 39% of patients. Cholestasis markers were high in four patients. Abdominal ultrasound showed a distended gallbladder in 39 patients, with thickened wall in 34 patients, and gallbladder lithiasis in all cases. No patient had a dilated main bile duct. All patients received intravenous antibiotic therapy. Tocolysis was indicated in 32 patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 32 cases (68%), and open cholecystectomy in 15 cases (32%). Postoperative course was uneventful in 42 patients, and complicated in 5 patients. Rate of complications was statistically higher after open cholecystectomy (p = 0.003). Morbidity rate was higher in the third trimester (p = 0.003). Conclusions: Delay in the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis during pregnancy can lead to serious complications. Management is based on antibiotic therapy and cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy appears to be less morbid than open cholecystectomy.

  • The solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN) of the pancreas is an uncommon tumor that accounts for approximately 1%-2% of exocrine pancreatic neoplasms. It predominantly affects female in their second and third decades of life. In this case report, we present a clinical scenario of a 21-year-old pregnant woman who incidentally discovered a solid cystic lesion in her pancreas, exhibiting features suggestive of SPEN. The patient underwent surgery during the second trimester. Management of pregnant females with SPEN poses challenges due to the absence of definitive treatment guidelines, particularly in determining the ideal timing for surgical intervention. Notably, during pregnancy, the presence of a small SPEN does not necessarily require immediate resection. However, if the tumor is of significant size, it can give rise to complications such as tumor rupture, multivisceral resection, recurrence, spontaneous abortion, intrauterine growth restriction, or premature delivery if not addressed. In the existing literature, a common finding is that approximately two-thirds of pregnant females with SPEN underwent surgery in the second trimester, often without complications for the mother or fetus. All these tumors were larger than 8 cm. The decision to operate before or after birth can be individualized based on team discussion. However, delay in surgery may lead to larger tumors and higher risks like bleeding, rupture, multivisceral resection, and recurrence. Therefore, second-trimester surgery seems safer, and lessens dangers, emergency surgery, and tumor recurrence.

  • Leukemia in pregnancy was first reported by Virchow in 1845, and acute Leukemia that occurs with pregnancy is extremely rare. About 350 pregnancies with leukemia have been reported in literature. The incident of acute leukemia during pregnancy has been reported in one case per 100,000 pregnancies case. A 40-year-old patient with 30 weeks of pregnancy, (by promyelocyte which is contained granules and auer rods in the bone marrow and biopsy) was diagnosed with acute promyelocyte leukemia WITH t (15;17) (q22;q12); PML-RARA. (M3) in peripheral blood and bone marrow examination, and gave a birth to the fetus normally, January 24, 2013, after receiving the complete remission decision from the bone marrow, complete blood cell count, PML-RARA PCR test, showed normal findings until March 2013. The treatment of acute leukemia during pregnancy should be considered as treatment of a pregnant mother and the impact on the fetus. Decisions about when and how birth takes place is difficult and has to consider both mother and fetus. It is preferable to start immediate treatment without delay so that the treatment time to achieve complete remission or full recovery of the pregnant mother is longer.

  • Objectives : According to 2013 statistics, the primary infertility rate is 13.5%. The current situation is much worse than that reported, so it is even emerging as a social problem. The purpose of this study is to analyze the 5 cases of successful infertility treatment with herbal treatment and to give hope to the infertile couple to become pregnant and to suggest the possibility of herbal treatment in infertility treatment. Methods : We administered Jokyungjongok-tang gamibang as a herbal medicine and treated with acupuncture, moxibustion. Treatment was done once or twice a week. The herbal medicines were taken 30 minutes after meals and 3 times a day. While taking the herbal medicine, they were prohibited from eating flour, pork, liquor, tobacco and coffee. Patient status was assessed by consultation through pulse, tongue and abdominal diagnosis. The diagnosis of pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasonography at hospitals and the success of the treatment was judged based on healthy birth. Results : Patients had common features, such as lower abdominal pain, menstrual cramps, and blood clots during menstruation. Herbal medicine combined with acupuncture, moxibustion improved patients' overall fatigue and reduced the body's coldness. Since then, the dysmenorrhea and blood clots have decreased, and the digestion condition has improved. Therefore they became pregnant and gave birth to a healthy baby. Conclusion : Jokyungjongok-tang gamibang was effective in improving the body's coldness and uterine condition and was successful in pregnancy and helped to give birth to a healthy baby.

  • Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify to identify the nursing needs and stress levels among spouses of women hospitalized with preterm labor, and to determine factors influencing spousal stress. Methods: Data were collected from 95 spouses of hospitalized pregnant women due to preterm labor at a hospital in Gyeonggi province from June to December of 2016. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression. Results: The mean score of spouses' nursing needs was 3.06±0.42 and stress was 1.85±0.44 out of 4.00. The highest score of nursing needs was 3.37±0.51 in assurance and the highest score for stress was 2.26±0.72 for patient's illness and prognosis. There was a significant positive correlation between stress in spouse and nursing needs (p=.004). Stress was explained by nursing needs (β=.28) and hospitalization days (β=.21). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that appropriate nursing interventions are required to address the nursing needs at the beginning of hospitalization and to reduce the stress among spouses of hospitalized pregnant women diagnosed with preterm labor.

  • 목 적: 임산부의 방사선치료시 태아에 조사되는 선량을 알아보고, 임상에 적용가능한 간단한 차폐방법을 적용하여 태아선량이 감소되는 정도를 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에 내원한 임신 24주째인 뇌전이 환자를 대상으로 전뇌 방사선치료를 시행하는 동안 태아에 조사되는 선량을 인체 팬톰(Anderson Rando Phantom, Alderson Research Laboratories Inc., USA)을 사용하여 평가하였다. 환자에 대한 치료처방은 일일선량 300 cGy, 10회, 총선량 3000 cGy, 그리고 치료조건은 에너지 6 MV, 조사야크기 $18{\times}22cm^2$이었다. 선량평가는 환자 치료조건과 동일한 상태로 조사야 하단에서 각각 30, 40, 50, 60 cm에서 전리함((TN30013, 0.6 cc Farmer type chamber, PTW Unidos, Germany)을 사용하여 측정하였고, 다음은 환자치료조건과 동일하지만 본원에서 고안한 추가 차폐방법(shielding wall, neck supporter, Pb sheets, acrylic bridge)을 이용하여 태아를 차폐한 다음 위의 측정점과 동일한 위치에서 측정하여 그 차폐효과를 비교 평가 하였다. 또한 추가 차폐한 상태에서 열형광선량계(4000, Harshaw, Solon Technologies Inc., USA)를 사용하여 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 cm 지점에서 측정하여 전리함 측정값과 비교 분석하였다. 결 과: 전리함을 이용하여 측정한 결과 환자가 총선량 3,000 cGy를 받는 동안 태아에 조사될 수 있는 선량은, 추가 차폐가 없는 경우 조사야 하단 30, 40, 50, 60 cm에서 각각 3.20, 3.21, 1.44, 0.90 cGy, 추가 차폐가 있는 경우 0.88, 0.60, 0.35, 0.25 cGy로 추가 차폐를 하였을 경우 하지 않았을 경우보다 약 $70{\sim}80%$의 차폐효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 열형광선량계 측정결과는 1.8, 1.2, 0.8, 1.2, 0.8 (70 cm) cGy로 나타났다. 이로서 태아가 전 치료 과정중 받을 수 있는 총선량은 1 cGy 이하로 측정되었다. 결 론: 임산부의 방사선치료가 필수적으로 요구될 경우 고려되어야 할 가장 중요한 인자는 태아선량의 최소화가 될 것이다. 방사선장애의 역치선량이 $10{\sim}20cGy$인 것을 감안하면 상기 방법에 의한 임산부의 방사선치료는 이러한 목적에 부합될 뿐만 아니라 사용방법 또한 비교적 용이하다고 생각된다.

  • 임신부의 경우 심폐소생술동안 좌측 기울림을 적용하도록 권장하고 있다. 하지만, 이 좌측으로 기울리면 임신부의 자궁 뿐만이 아니라 좌심실도 좌측으로 편위되어 심폐소생술의 심장펌프기능이 떨어질 가능성이 있다. 이에 좌측 기울림이 심폐소생술동안 흉골 운동 방향을 대변하는 전후축과 좌심실의 공간적 관계에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 컴퓨터 단층촬영을 이용한 가상내시경검사를 받은 90명의 환자를 대상으로 의무기록과 컴퓨터단층촬영결과를 후향적으로 조사하였다. 가상내시경은 앙와위와 좌측 기울림 위치 모두에서 실시되었다. 좌심실 단면적이 가장 넓은 축면에서 전후축과 좌심실축사이의 각도($Angle_{AP-LV}$), 전후축과 좌심실 중앙사이 최단거리($D_{AP-MidLV}$), 및 전후축과 좌심실첨부사이 최단거리($D_{AP-Apex}$)를 측정하였다. 대상환자 중 87명(96.7%)에서는 앙와위에서 좌심실이 전후축의 좌측에 위치하였다. 좌측으로 기울인 영상에서의 기울림 각도는 $43.4{\pm}11.0^{\circ}$였다. $D_{AP-MidLV}$$D_{AP-Apex}$는 좌측 기울린 위치에서 의미있게 길었지만 (p<0.001), AngleAP-LV는 두 자세 사이에 비슷했다. 심장정지인 임신부에서 좌측으로 기울림은 흉부압박의 심장펌프 효과를 떨어뜨릴 수도 있다.

  • Due to the rapid socioeconomic development and the introduction of the national health insurance system the general population's need for health care and utilization of health care services have increased dramatically. As a result of this change. Korea is experiencing a shortage of health care facilities and health manpower, and this leads long wailing line at doctor's offices. One of the solutions of this problem could be home health care system for those who have minor health related problems. With this background, this study was conducted to look at the feasibility of a home-based prenatal care system using information superhighway and nursing informatics specialists. With the home-based prenatal care system, the pregnant woman checks her blood pressure, tests her urine for sugar and protein, and measures her body weight at home and sends the information to a hospital computer via the information networks such as public telephone line and information superhighway. Nursing informatics specialist at the hospital will go through each patient record and screen those who have abnormal values and notify them to see a doctor as soon as possible. Besides telemonitoring features, the proposed system will include tole-education capabilities for the patients so that patient can learn whatever they need to know ragarding the prenatal care via information networks. If this system develops and operates, patient can save time in terms of travel to and from the hospital and waiting time in the hospital. And the health care institute can utilize its resource more efficiently.
