This study reviewed about Health Management of Women's with Menstrual Disorder and the differences in opinions between the Eastern- Western Nursing Sciences. The purpose of this study was to find out a possible integration of the Eastern-Western Nursing Sciences for Health Management of Women's with Menstrual Disorder and to suggest a distinct frame of Korean Nursing Intervention Method. In the last decade, the women's movement has succeeded in changing in inappropriate and poor treatment. The health consumer movement has also achieved many gains in improving the quality of health care. Yet the medical care offered women during their life stages is still characterized by a lack of effectiveness, safety, and consideration. Today, Although there are differences between Oriental and Western Medicine in approaches to clients, the Eastern-Western Nursing Sciences in approach to clients can be hoped that contribution will be made to the development of nursing intervention which is suitable to Korean context.

There are several factors which are more likely to have sleep disorders in fertile women with menstruation than adult men. Menstrual cycle plays an important role in them. We describe herein the overview about the association of menstrual cycle and sleep disorders by viewing the interactions of menstrual cycle and circadian rhythm. We review how menstrual cycle affects sleep-wake cycle by reviewing menstrual cycle and estrous cycle to understand these interactions. Menstrual cycle and estrous cycle are mainly affected by hormonal cycle and light-dark cycle, respectively and they are generally determined in monthly rhythm and annual rhythm, respectively. The determination of estrous cycle is also affected by cyclic changes of hormones besides light-dark cycle. Although sleep-wake cycle almost alternates according to estrous cycle in non-primate mammals, it is hardly affected by menstrual cycle in primate mammals as compared with estrous cycle. But menstrual cycle affects sleep-wake cycle via desynchronization of sleep-wake cycle and temperature rhythm. The decrease of amplitude and phasic change during luteal phase in the daily fluctuation of body core temperature can partially contribute to the induction of sleep disorders in fertile women. In addition to this, premenstrual syndrome which nearly happens during luteal phase commonly have sleep problems. Therefore, we suggest that menstrual cycle and PMS can partially contribute the increase of sleep disorders in fertile women.

본 연구에서는 월경전 불쾌기분장애 그룹과 무증상 그룹으로 나누어 여성 24명을 대상으로4주 동안 식이 섭취량 및 체구성성분이 월경주기에 따라 변화하는지를 알아보고자 하였고 이에 본 결과를 요약하였다. 월경주기에 따른 식이섭취량은 PMDD 그룹과 NPS 그룹에 상관없이 난포기보다 황체기와 생리기에 유의적으로 증가하였으나(p<0.01), 그룹 간에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았으며, 탄수화물 섭취량은 PMDD 그룹과 NPS 그룹에 상관없이 난포기보다 황체기와 생리기에 유의적으로 증가하였으나(p<0.05), 그룹간에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았고, 단백질 섭취량은 PMDD 그룹과 NPS 그룹에 상관없이 난포기보다 황체기에 유의적으로 증가하였으나(p<0.01), 그룹간에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았으며, 지방 섭취량은 PMDD그룹과 NPS그룹에 상관없이 주기 간 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으며 그룹 간에도 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 월경주기에 따른 체중은 PMDD그룹과 NPS그룹에 상관없이 난포기보다 황체기와 생리기에서 유의적으로 증가한 것으로 나타났으나(p<0.001), 그룹간에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았으며, 체수분은 PMDD 그룹과 NPS 그룹에 상관없이 난포기보다 황체기와 생리기에서 유의적으로 증가한 것으로 나타났으나(p<0.05), 그룹 간에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 체지방량은 PMDD그룹과 NPS 그룹에 상관없이 난포기보다 황체기에서 유의적으로 증가한 것으로 나타났으나(p<0.05), 그룹 간에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과는 여성의 식이섭취량, 혈당 및 체구성성분은 월경주기의 변화에 영향을 받는 것으로 보이며 월경주기에 작용하는 변인과를 관련시켜 월경전증후군의 치료 또는 관리방법에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 앞으로 이에 관한 보다 체계적인 연구가 활발하게 이루어지길 기대한다.

Background : An increased frequency of reproductive endocrine disorders and polycystic ovary(PCO) has been reported in women with epilepsy. A possible role of the seizure disorder or, of the use of antiepileptic drugs(AEDs) has been suggested as the pathogenic mechanism. The objective of the present study was to assess the prevalence of reproductive endocrine disorders, such as PCO or menstrual abnormalities, in a series of women with epilepsy, examining the possible relationships of these disturbances with different epilepsy syndromes and AED treatment. Methods : Thirty epileptic women, all of reproductive age and none pubertal, pregnant, or lactating, were evaluated by clinical endocrinological assessment, and pelvic ultrasonography. Seven patients were on valproic acid(VPA), nineteen on carbamazepine(CBZ), and four on diphenylhydantoin(DPH) treatment, respectively. Results : Menstrual irregularity was observed in 8 women(26.7%), dysmenorrhea in 7(23.3%), and premenstrual syndrome in 1(3.3%). Ultrasonographic examination revealed that one women(3.3%) showed polycystic ovary, 4(13.3%) had ovarian cyst(s), and 2(6.7%) had uterine myoma, respectively. There was no difference in the prevalence of menstrual abnormalities or polycystic ovary according to the different preparations of AEDs. Conclusions : Data from this investigation suggest that, in Korean reproductive age women, the treatment of AEDs and the kind of medication may not have a significant effect on the prevalence of menstrual abnormalities or ultrasonographic polycystic ovary.

Cyperus rotundus L. (Cyperaceae) has been used as an analgesic and antiiflammatory agent and in the treatment of menstrual disorder in folk remedies. Cyperi Rhizomata, processed and unprocessed, were extracted with methanol and fractionated with petroleum ether, chloroform. Butanol, water. The effect of unprocessed Cyperi Rhizoma and processed Cyperi Rhizoma on $CCl_4$ induced lipid peroxidation and hepatotoxity have been tested in rats. BuOH. Water fractions of unprocessed Cyperi Rhizome enhanced the inhibition of antilipid peroxidative effects in liver lipid. In chemical parameters obtained from serum analysis. Butanol fraction of unprocessed Cyperi Rhizoma showed significant decrease in hepatotoxicity. In result, unprocessed Cyperi rhizoma has significant antilipid peroxidative effect and hepatoprotective activity.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate bone mineral density(BMD) and identify risk factors of osteoporosis in Korean postmenopausal women. Methods: The subjects consisted of 328 women. The BMD of the calcaneus were measured with peripheral dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. The risk factors were collected by a self-report standardized questionnaire. The differences among the osteoporosis, osteopenia, and normal group were compared by one way analysis of variance test, Scheffe's multiple comparison tests and Logistic regression. Results: The average age was 65 years old and the average T-score was 28.7% with osteoporosis. The Risk factors of osteoporosis were inclined by 24% in age (OR = 1.24, CI = 1.16 ~ 1.31), 53% in menarchal age (OR = 1.53, CI = 1.24 ~ 1.88), 3.5 times in vegetarian (OR = 3.52, CI = 1.66 ~ 7.47), 2 times in small-bowel disease (OR = 2.01, CI= 1.03 ~ 3.94), 5.3 times in arthritis (OR = 5.33, CI = 1.61 ~ 17.67), 5.5 times in eating disorder (OR = 5.50, CI = 1.43 ~ 21.17), 6 times in health perception (OR = 6.08, CI = 2.30 ~ 16.06). The Risk factors of osteoporosis were reduced by 10% in weight (OR = 0.90. CI = 0.83 ~ 0.97), and 10% in menopausal age (OR = 0.90. CI = 0.84 ~ 0.98). Conclusion: The risk factors of osteoporosis were in the general characteristics, menstrual history, history of disease, life style & diet, and health perception. Eating disorder and health perception are highest on the risk factor of osteoporosis in Korean postmenopausal women.

연구목적 : Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool(PSST)를 통해서, DSM-IV상의 월경전불쾌장애(premenstrual dysphoric disorder, PMDD)에 대한 진단기준을 사용하여 월경전기증후군(premenstrual syndrome, PMS) 및 PMDD의 빈도, 기능장애, 위험인자들, 월경에 대한 태도, PMS 및 PMDD의 발현 양상 들을 조사하여 보았다. 방 법 : 서울 및 수도권의 중소도시인 수원에 소재하는 대학교에 다니는 여학생들을 대상으로 하여 월경에의 태도 질문지, PSST를 사용한 단면 조사연구를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 총 1410명에게 질문지가 배부되었으며, 그 중 1063부에 대하여 분석하였다. 응답자들은 PSST의 결과에 따라 3군[정상/경도 PMS군(n=759, 71.4%), 심한 PMS군(n=180, 16.9%), PMDD군(n=124, 11.7%)]으로 분류하였다. 각 군별로는 기본적인 역학적 변수 및 위험 인자(음주, 커피 소비, 월경통의 강도, PMS의 가족력)들의 분포에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 응답자들을 또한 월경에 대한 태도에 따라 3군으로 구분하였다[긍정적 태도군(n=168), 부정적 태도군(n=122), 양가적 태도군(n=773)]. 심각한 월경전기 증상들을 호소하는 이들의 비율은 이 3가지 태도군 간에 유의한 차이가 있어서, 부정적 태도군은 다른 군들에 비해 더 많은 월경전기 증상들을 보고하였다. 결 론 : PMS와 PMDD는 한국의 젊은 여성들에서 널리 발견된다. 일부 응답자들은 그들이 PMDD에 대한 DSM-IV의 진단기준을 완전히 충족시키지 못하였음에도 유의한 기능손상을 보고하였다. 일반적으로, 월경에 대한 부정적인 태도는 더 많은 월경전기 증상들의 경험과 관련이 있었다.
