Objectives The current study aimed to investigate whether pregnancy outcomes are affected by maternal rhesus (Rh) status by comparing the primigravida pregnancy outcomes of Rh-negative women with those of Rh-positive women. Methods The study data were collected from the Korea National Health Insurance Claims Database and the National Health Screening Program for Infants and Children. In total, 1,664,882 primigravida women who gave birth between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2014, were enrolled in this study. As the risk and severity of sensitization response increases with each subsequent pregnancy, only primigravida women were enrolled. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to Rh status, and the pregnancy outcomes were compared. Results In total, 1,661,320 women in the Rh-positive group and 3,290 in the Rh-negative group were assessed. With regard to adverse pregnancy outcomes, there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of the prevalence of preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, abruptio placenta, placenta previa, and uterine artery embolization. A univariate analysis revealed that none of the adverse pregnancy outcomes were significantly correlated to Rh status (preeclampsia: odds ratio [OR], 1.00, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81-1.23; postpartum hemorrhage: OR, 1.10, 95% CI, 0.98-1.24; abruptio placenta: OR, 0.80, 95% CI, 0.46-1.37; and placenta previa: OR, 1.08, 95% CI, 0.78-1.42). The adjusted ORs of postpartum hemorrhage and preterm birth did not significantly differ. Conclusion Maternal Rh status is not associated with adverse outcomes in primigravida women.

김예화 ( Yihua Jin ),정승규 ( Seunggyu Jeong ),정슬기 ( Seulgi Jeong ),이동근 ( Dongkun Lee ) 한국환경영향평가학회 2015 환경영향평가 Vol.24 No.5

As biodiversity and climate change have become main issues in recent times, the role of the forest ecosystem has been more important and forest conservation has been highlighted. The purpose of this study is to estimate forest area with high conservation values in Gapyung-gun by considering forest ecosystem services. The indicators of biodiversity, climate regulation, and water regulation were selected for assessment in this study. To assess biodiversity, habitat structural features and distribution characteristics of species were analyzed. Climate regulation and water regulation were assessed through analysis of carbon absorption volume and water storage. The result showed that, 50.1% of the forests in Gapyung-gun had high conservation values. The results were verified by comparing them with distribution tendencies of other environmental maps, which represent forest ecological values, and showed similar distribution tendencies. The study was conducted on only Gapyung-gun in Korea; however, the methods used in this study could be utilized for assessment of other areas to identify forests with high conservation values.

Nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQD) were synthesized by direct thermal decomposition of ammonium citrate tribasic. With the increment of torrefaction temperature, the average size of N-GQD was increased from 2.56 to 3.73 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis (XPS) proved the successful doping of nitrogen atoms. Besides, the N-GQDs showed blue fluorescence which was quenched by Fe3+ ions, and the fluorescence intensity of N-GQDs decayed exponentially. Accordingly, the same quenching effect was observed on a test paper prepared by soaking paper in N-GQDs dispersion. The quenching mechanism was due to electron transfer between Fe3+ and functional groups on the surface of N-GQDs which could be confirmed by XPS and diameter growth. Therefore, through this simple method, N-GQDs with high blue fluorescence and high production yield (64%) can be prepared, which provided a new strategy for monitoring and collecting Fe3+ in environmental water.

( Seung Woo Yang ),( Yihua Jin ),( Eun Bi Jang ),( Hee Sun Kim ),( In Sook Sohn ),( Han Sung Kwon ),( Han-sung Hwang ) 대한산부인과학회 2020 Obstetrics & Gynecology Science Vol.63 No.5

Objective The aim of this survey was to investigate the recommendations and clinical practice patterns of the Korean Society of Maternal and Fetal Medicine (KSMFM) members, regarding management of isolated oligohydramnios (IO). Methods From December 2018 to February 2019, questionnaires were e-mailed to the KSMFM members at 257 institutes that are listed by the Korean Statistical Information Services (KOSIS) as suitable labor premises. Responses to the seven questions on the management of IO, from diagnosis to treatment, were evaluated. Results A total of 72 KSMFM members responded to this survey. Nearly all participants (90.1%) used the amniotic fluid index (AFI) as the primary method for estimating amniotic fluid volume. The majority of the participants (73.6%) believed that IO was a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes, including abnormal fetal heart rate (73.6%), need for cesarean delivery (58.3%), intrauterine fetal demise (52.8%), and meconium aspiration syndrome (50%). Almost 70% of the participants believed that induction of labor might decrease perinatal morbidities, and that late-preterm to early-term period (36-38 gestational weeks) was a suitable timeframe for delivery, if the fetus was sufficiently grown and antenatal testing revealed reassuring results. Less than half of the participants (47.2%) believed that maternal oral or intravenous hydration was a useful intervention for IO management. Conclusions KSMFM members preferred labor induction at late-preterm to early-term, to decrease perinatal morbidity in cases of IO, although it was still uncertain whether labor induction improved the outcomes. Further prospective studies are needed regarding IO management.

도시화와 인간의 영향으로 도심 내 산림 임연부가 증가함에 따라 도시 산림 관리 측면에서 도시 산림 임연부의 현황 파악과 모니터링의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 도시 산림 임연부의 현황파악을 위해 시간적 예측, 공간적 예측에서 정확도가 높은 FSDAF(Flexible Spatio-temporal DAta Fusion) 융합 영상 기법을 활용하여 도출한 NDVImax 영상을 사용하여 인접한 토지피복 유형에 따른 도시 산림 임연부의 식생 활력도 차이를 평가하는데 목적이 있다. 서울시 내 도시 산림 임연부를 대상으로 분석해 본 결과, 산림 내부로 갈수록 식생활력도가 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 임연부에 인접한 4가지 토지피복 유형 중 도로가 산림 임연부에 미치는 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 도로로부터 산림 임연부의 30m까지 그 영향이 가장 두드러지게 나타났으며, 90m까지 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 도시 산림 모니터링 및 도시 산림 임연부 관리 측면에서 토지 피복 유형과 토지피복 변화가 인접한 산림에 미치는 영향을 평가하는데 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다. The importance of monitoring and assessing the status of urban forests in the aspect of urban forest management is emerging as urban forest edges increase due to urbanization and human impacts. The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of vegetation condition of urban forest edge that is affected by different land cover types using NDVImax images derived from FSDAF (Flexible Spatio-temporal DAta Fusion). Among 4 land cover types, roads had the greatest effect on the forest edge, especially up to 30m, and it was found to affect up to 90m in Seoul urban forest. It was also found that NDVImax increased with distance away from the forest edge. The results of this study are expected to be useful for assessing the effects of land cover types and land cover change on forest edges in terms of urban forest monitoring and urban forest management.

기후변화 및 인구 증가 등으로 인하여 물 공급량이 수요량을 충족하지 못하는 물부족 현상 발생이 증가하고 있다. 이와 같은 물부족 현상으로 인한 피해를 최소화하고 이에 대한 대비를 위해 수자원 및 물부족 평가 연구가 꾸준히 이루어져 왔다. 하지만 기존 연구는 대부분 지상수와 지하수만을 공급량으로 보았으며 실제 식물의 생장 및 유지에 이용되는 토양수 등에 대한 고려는 이루어지지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지상수 및 지하수를 의미하는 블루워터와 식물생장 및 유지에 이용되는 그린워터 개념을 도입한 물부족 평가 방법을 제안하고 이를 이용하여 보령 지역을 대상으로 물부족 평가를 실시하였다. SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형을 이용하여 대상유역의 월별 유출량, 지하수량, 토양수량, 증발산량을 도출하였으며 이를 이용하여 월별 그린워터와 블루워터 부족량을 각각 도출하였다. 그린워터와 블루워터의 물부족 평가 결과 이 둘의 양상이 매우 다르게 나타났으며 이에 수자원 관리에서 용수 공급에 특히 주의해야 하는 시기를 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 물부족 평가 방법은 식물 및 작물 생장, 유지에 사용되는 그린워터를 평가에 고려함으로써 기존 평가 방법들에 비해 더욱 상세한 결과를 얻을 수 있으며 이에 수자원 관리에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다. With climate change and population growth, there are significant increases in water scarcity. There have been water security assessments to abate the gap between water demand and availability to support water resource management. However, most of the assessments are focusing on the water that flows through either on or below the land surface, failing to consider water that infiltrates and can be used by vegetation. This study presents water scarcity assessment accounting for Blue and Green water concept, and applied the method to Boryung region. Monthly streamflow, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture were estimated by SWAT modeling, and each of them was used to analyze Blue and Green water scarcity. Blue and Green water scarcity had different aspect, and the result indicated the time when water scarcity is more likely to happen. The water scarcity assessment framework presented in this paper provides novel assessment method integrating hydrologic and ecosystem aspects, thereby improving the understanding of how water resources should be managed.
