Purpose : A study on the recognition about osteoporosis and TKM treatment for osteoporosis of women who visited Sangji Oriental Medical Hospital. Methods : We studied the recognition and realities of TKM treatment for osteoporosis with questionnaire from 14th september, 2005 to 14th October, 2005 in Sang-ji Oriental medical clinic. A questionnaire was given to 184 women and 171 women answered. Results : 1) In 171 women, 169(98.8%) women have heard about osteoporosis, 1(0.6%) woman hasn't heard about it, and 1(0.6%) woman doesn't know. 2) In 171 women, 85(49.7%) women checked up for osteoporosis. 31(36.1%) women of them were diagonosed as osteoporosis, 50(58.1%) women of them were not diagonosed as osteoporosis, and 5(5.8%) women of them didn't know.3) In 31 women, 18 women is taking none medical care, 5 women calcium supplement, 4 women HRT, and 4 women both therapy. 4) In 171 women, 74(43.3%) women know about TKM treatment for osteoporosis, 96(56.1%) women don't know. 5) In 171 women, 140(81.9%) women have intention of TKM treatment for osteoporosis, 17(9.9%) women don't have, and 14(8.2%) women don't know. Conclusion : The guide that treats osteoporosis with T]U is needed on purpose to make intention of TKM treatment for osteoporosis to real demand. If the guide be informed to oriental doctors, It can expand the range of oriental gynecology.

To develop useful antifungal agents from essential oils in Korean plant resources, the activities of Thymus quinquecostatus and T. quinquecostatus var. japonica were evaluated against ten pathogenic fungi. Their results were compared with those of T. vulgaris, which is native to Europe.The essential oils of the tested Thymus species were obtained by steam distillation using a simultaneous steam distillation-extraction apparatus. The above ground parts of plants cultivated in the herbal garden of Duksung Women"s University were used. (omitted)

The present report describes a case that showed a normal fetal karyotype in an antenatal genetic study but an abnormal placental karyotype of 46,XX,r (15) on postnatal examination. The pregnancy was complicated by fetal nuchal translucency in the first trimester and intrauterine growth restriction in the second and third trimesters. A 1780 gm female baby was born after 40 weeks of gestation, but died of respiratory distress and sepsis on the 10th day of life. Our case was unique in that the placental chromosomal aberration was a structural abnormality instead of a numerical aberration that is seen in most reported cases of confined placental mosaicism.

This study was carried out by an Korean GLP laboratory to assess the combined repeated dose, reproduction and developmental toxicity of benzoyl peroxide for OECD SIDS(Screening Information Data Set) program. Male and female Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to benzoyl peroxide at levels of 0, 250, 500 and 1,000 mg/kg/day for 29 days for male and for 41-51 days for female.(omitted)

Objective: We compared the assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes among infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treated with IVM, conventional IVF, GnRH agonist, and GnRH antagonist cycles. Methods: The prospective study included a total of 67 cycles in 61 infertile women with PCOS. The women with PCOS were randomized into three IVF protocols: IVM/IVF with FSH and hCG priming with immature oocyte retrieval 38 hours later (group A, 14 cycles), GnRH agonist long protocol (group B, 14 cycles), and GnRH antagonist multi-dose flexible protocol (group C, 39 cycles). IVF outcomes, such as clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), implantation rate (IR), miscarriage rate (MR), and live birth rate (LBR), were compared among the three groups. Results: Age, BMI, and basal FSH and LH levels did not differ among the three groups. The number of retrieved oocytes and 2 pronucleus embryos was significantly lower in group A compared with groups B and C. The CPR, IR, MR, and LBR per embryo transfer showed no differences among the three groups. There was no incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in group A. Conclusion: The IR, MR, and LBR in the IVM cycles were comparable to those of the GnRH agonist and GnRH antagonist cycles. The IVM protocol, FSH and hCG priming with oocyte retrieval 38 hours later, is an effective ART option that is comparable with conventional IVF for infertile women with PCOS.

Koreans rarely complain of depression or other psychological problems because mental illness is viewed as a stigmatizing and threatening experience. This study examined the relationships among stressful life events, close relationships, self-esteem. and depression in 400 college women aged 18 to 30 years. Depression was positively related to stressful life events (r＝.21, p＝＜.01). Depression and stressful life events were negatively associated with self-esteem (r＝-.67; r＝-.11, p＜.01; p＜.05 respectively). Close relationships with women and men friends were each negatively associated with depression (r＝-.24; r＝-.16, p＜.01; p＜.05). Close relationships with women and men friends were positively associated with self-esteem (r＝.23; r＝.20, p＜.01). Forty nine percent of variance in depression rates in this sample was explained. After adjustment for degrees of freedom, a total of 49% of the variance in depression was explained by self-esteem and stressful life events. This investigation into the relationships among the variables influencing depression for college women is a critical issue as health professionals need to be aware that college women are at considerable risk for depression. Effective psychosocial interventions are those designed for specific populations to meet unique care needs and since young Korean women may be at considerable risk for depression.

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) can now be applied to detect the origin of extra or missing chromosomal material in cases with common unbalanced aberrations and in prenatal investigations. This method has been used in 13 cases of fetal samples for this study; 3 for amniocytes, 2 for cord blood and 8 for abortus tissues. These samples were previously subjected to GTG-banding. Our study showed aneuploidy in 8 cases, and partial monosomy, partial trisomy or marker chromosome in the remaining 5. The CGH disclosed further small genetic imbalances in 4 of all 13 cases: a prenatal sample showing del(20)(q13) by GTG confirmed a loss of the segment 20p13-pter by CGH; a marker chromosome manifested normal CGH profile; chromosome der(?)(?;15) found in an abortus sample by GTG turned out to be a loss of 15pter-q14 (partial monosomy) and a gain of 10pter-q22 (partial trisomy); the der(15) shown by GTG represented partial trisomy of 3q24-qter. These findings show that CGH is very useful and efficient for cytogenetic investigations of clinical cases.

Peritoneal pregnancy is an implantation in the peritoneal cavity exclusive of tubal, ovarian, or intra-ligamentary implantations. This is a rare obstetric complication with high maternal mortality and even higher perinatal mortality, and secondary type was most common. Risk factors for peritoneal pregnancy are previous history of extrauterine pregnancy or tubal surgery pelvic post-inflammatory status or presence of an intrauterine device. As it is a life-threatening condition, expectant management carries a risk of sudden life-threatening intra-abdominal bleeding and a generally poor fetal prognosis. So, when it is recognized, immediate termination of pregnancy is usually recommended. Early diagnosis of peritoneal pregnancy is difficult, but is important by their life threatening progress course to patients. Recently, we experienced primary peritoneal pregnancy which meets both the original and modified criteria. In this paper, we reported the case of early diagnosed and successfully treated peritoneal pregnancy despite of their diagnosis was incidentally.
