To increase both iron and enhancers for iron absorption through diets should be a basic strategy to sufficiently provide increased iron for pregnancy. Previous studies reported that iron intakes of Korean pregnant women were short and their iron status deteriorated as pregnancy progressed. However, there is little data about the bioavailability of dietary iron during pregnancy. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the changes of dietary iron intakes, its bioavailability and iron status during pregnancy longitudinally in Korean women. A total of 151 pregnant women in their first trimester of pregnancy voluntarily participated. Among them, 72 women finished the research protocol during the second trimester and 55 did it during the third trimester. Dietary intakes of total iron, both non-heme and heme iron, as well as enhancers, both MPF (meat, poulty, and fish) and vitamin C, increased significantly as pregnancy progressed. As the results, bioavailability of dietary iron and iron absorbed increased significantly as pregnancy progressed. However, the amount of iron absorbed at each trimester did not meet considerably the iron needed during pregnancy. All five indices examined in the study, Hb level, Hct, serum concentrations of ferritin and sTfR (soluble transferrin receptor), and sTfR: ferritin ratio, showed that iron status of the subjects deteriorated as pregnancy progressed. The rate of anemia of the subjects increased as pregnancy progressed although more than 80% of the subjects took iron supplements after the 20th week of pregnancy. These results imply that it is needed to provide more iron especially, heme iron and dietary enhancers to prevent the deterioration of iron status during pregnancy. Future research on bioavailability of supplemental iron should be performed to determine the iron balance precisely.

Objectives: This study aimed to report the effectiveness and outcome on the prognosis of pregnancy of traditional Korean medicine treatment for inpatients who had a traffic accident during pregnancy. Methods: The study is conducted by analyzing the medical records of hospitalized patients in a Korean medicine hospital. Seventy-six pregnant patients who got into car accidents from March 2015 to February 2020 were included. We performed statistical analysis by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences(SPSS) ver. 25.0. To verify the effect of traditional Korean medicine treatment for traffic accidents during pregnancy, we analyzed improvement of symptoms. Also, we analyzed the prognosis of pregnancy and signs of premature birth or miscarriage during treatment to verify the applicability of traditional Korean medicine treatment for traffic accidents during pregnancy. Results: Among the symptoms of pain, there was a statistically significant decrease in lower back pain, post neck pain, headache, pelvic pain, knee pain, lower limb pain, wrist pain, and upper limb pain. Other systemic symptoms showed statistically significant improvement in nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness, and lower limb numbness. All confirmed cases reported normal pregnancy maintenance and delivery, and no miscarriage was reported. Two cases that showed signs of premature birth or miscarriage during treatment were unrelated or unclear with traditional Korean medicine treatment. Conclusions: Traditional Korean medicine treatment is effective and applicable for pregnant women injured by traffic accidents. Further studies are needed to identify the effectiveness and safety of traditional Korean medicine treatment for the sequelae of traffic accidents during pregnancy.

소아 고관절 이형성증은 비구 또는 근위 대퇴골, 혹은 양쪽 모두를 포함하는 고관절의 부적절한 발달을 지칭하는 광범위한 개념이다. 초음파적 검사로 영아기의 고관절 탈구 진단이 간과되거나 수술적인 치료가 필요한 경우는 감소하고 있으나 모든 고관절 이형성증을 찾아내지는 못하고 있다. 아탈구가 없는 고관절 이형성증은 우연히 진단되며, 40대 이후 여자에서 퇴행성 관절염과 강한 연관성을 가진다. 아탈구를 동반한 고관절 이형성증은 아탈구의 정도에 따라 증상이 다양한 시기에 걸쳐 나타나며, 특히 여성에서 임신 중 발현되는 경우가 많다. 신생아에 대한 정확한 이학적 검사와 조기 치료는 이 질환의 양호한 결과를 위해 매우 중요하다. 진단의 간과를 막고 조기 치료의 기회를 제공하기 위해 저자는 고관절 이형성증이 의심스러운 2세 이하 영아 모두에게 고관절 검사를 추천한다. 본 연구에서는 고관절 이형성증의 진단 및 초기 치료에 대해 고찰해 보고자 한다.
