ABSTRACT
Placental implantation disorders (PAS) have become the main cause of postpartum hemorrhage and perinatal hysterectomy. The risk of placental implantation surgery is high. It is important to conduct screening and diagnosis of high-risk patients with PAS, promptly refer patients with severe PAS, choose appropriate surgical opportunities, form a multidisciplinary team, conduct reliable preoperative evaluation and sufficient preoperative preparation, develop reasonable surgical plans and rescue plans, and have experienced doctors perform the surgery to minimize the risk. Standardized management of clinical diagnosis and treatment for patients will help improve pregnancy outcomes, reduce hysterectomy rates, and reduce severe complications and mortality rates in pregnant and postpartum women.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To perform quantitative analysis on the sample provincial laws and regulations for voluntary blood donation, and provide reference for further revision of laws and regulations. 【Methods】 31 study samples were current provincial laws and regulations for voluntary blood donation that can be collected from open sources. The issue date and the revision date of each sample were recorded. With "The Blood Donation Law of the People’s Republic of China" as reference, 5 categories were formed and additional clauses in samples were coded and rated following content analysis procedures. Sample provinces were divided into two groups based on donation rate and their differences in evaluation scores of categories were examined using rank sum test. 【Results】 Until December, 2021, 31 sample provinces had issued and implemented provincial laws and regulation for voluntary blood donation, and 14 of which had been revised. Many detailed clauses (total score 9.32±3.09) were added in sample provincial laws and regulations, more clauses were added in the categories of 'related government agencies and their responsibilities’, 'management of clinical blood use’ and 'rewards and punishment’. Sample provinces were divided into two groups according to the donation rate per 1 000 people recommended by World Health Organization(10‰). Compared to lower donation rate group, the total score and sub score in the categories of 'basic principles’, 'management of blood collection and supply’ were significantly higher in higher donation rate group. 【Conclusion】 In revision and improvement of provincial laws and regulations, 'basic principles’ and 'management of blood collection and supply’ could be considered. This assay mainly tries to provide a new research perspective and perform quantitative analysis on content of sample provincial laws and regulation for voluntary blood donation, the actual effect of the results in this study need longer time to be examined, and we will keep following its new advances.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the effect of blood donation related self-efficacy on blood donation intention, in order to provide valuable reference for formulating the recruitment and service strategy for blood donors with different demographic characteristics. 【Methods】 A questionnaire was designed based on psychological self-efficacy theory, and respondents in Nanchong city were taken as the research objects. The data of demographic characteristics, blood donation related self-efficacy measurement and blood donation intention measurement of the respondents who were randomly selected by convenient sampling method were collected and analyzed by rank sum test. 【Results】 The number of previous blood donation was significantly correlated with blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention, and there was a strong positive correlation between blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention (r=0.618). There are significant differences in blood donation related self-efficacy or blood donation intention of respondents with different blood donation experiences (P0.05). 【Conclusion】 Blood donation intention can be increased by enhancing the blood donation related self-efficacy of respondents. We can focus on the recruitment of respondents with high self-efficacy in the areas covered by the survey during the practice of blood donor recruitment and service to achieve higher recruitment efficiency. In the meantime, special attention should also be paid to the people with relatively low self-efficacy and high-quality services should be provided t to expand blood donor team. Furthermore, blood donor recruitment and services can be appropriately expanded to the countryside as needed.

ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a Real-time quantitative PCR method (qPCR) for the detection of diatom UPA barcoding genes and evaluate its application in the drowning diagnosis. Methods The homologous sequences of diatoms UPA gene was obtained by Blast from GeneBank, based on which the universal primers for diatoms were designed. DNA were extracted from 2 common human symbiotic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Bifidobacterium longum), 3 species of planktonic bacteria, 15 species of planktonic algae, tissue samples (lung, liver and kidney) from human cadavers (28 drowning victims, 1 victims by non-drowning in the water, 3 victims deaths on land) in 32 cases. The specificity, sensitivity and repeatability of the designed primers were tested. The positive rates of diatoms detection in the drowning cases were calculated. The results of the real-time quantitative method were evaluated comparatively by Microwave Digestion-Vacuum Filtration-Automated Scanning Electron Microscopy (MD-VF-Auto SEM) and PCR-Capillary Electrophoresis (PCR-CE). Results The results showed that the primers UPA99 had strong specificity for the diatomaceae (Synedra radians, Navicula sp., Melosira varians, Cyclotella sp. and Nitzschia sp.) DNA. The melting curve of the amplified product was smooth; the peak was narrow; the melting temperature was (87±1)℃. The sensitivity of qPCR method was 1.56×10-5ng/μL with the detection range of 1.56×102ng/mL~1.56×10-5ng/μL, in contrast with the PCR-CE method (1.56×10-3ng/μL). This real-time PCR method showed high repeatability and stability with the coefficient of variation less than 2%. The detection rate of lung, liver and kidney was 89.3%, 71.4% and 64.3% respectively. Conclusion The established qPCR method, based on the universal primers designed for diatom UPA gene, has high specificity, high sensitivity and good repeatability. With a promising prospect for application, qPCR is suitable for drowning diagnosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pelvic arterial embolization (PAE) in women with intractable primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Methods Clinical data of 36 cases were analyzed retrospectively in which women underwent PAE for intractable primary PPH in Peking Union Medical College Hospital between Jan 2006 and Jan 2015. The success rate of PAE were measured and possible predictive risk factors associated with treatment failure were analyzed. The complications secondary to PAE were also recorded. Results (1)The etiology of PPH. Among the 36 cases, 21 patients delivered viginally (Group VD) and 15 received cesarean section (Group CS). The most frequent cause of PPH was uterine atony (72%, 26/36). The less common causes were placental problems (28%, 10/36), genital tract trauma (6%, 2/36) and coagulation defects (3%, 1/36) in turn. Three patients (8%, 3/36) had combined causes.(2)Interventions before PAE. Uterotonic medications were used in all patients. 31 patients received carboprost methylate suppositorites,27 received carbetocin and 31 received carboprost tromethamine. Besides, 20 patients received one or more surgical interventions before PAE. PAE was performed when these interventions failed. (3) Characteristics of PAE. Altogether 78 arteries were embolized in 36 cases. Embolization of bilateral uterine arteries was performed in 31 cases, right internal iliac artery and bilateral inferior epigastric arteries were embolized in one case. Right internal pudendal artery, bilateral uterine arteries and bilateral internal iliac arteries were embolized in one case. And bilateral uterine arteries, bilateral internal iliac arteries were embolized in one case. In the other 2 cases, bilateral internal iliac arteries were embolized.(4)Efficacy of PAE. The overall technical success rate of PAE was 100%(36/36), while the clinical success rate was 94%(34/36). All patients survived.(5)Complications of PAE. 15 patients were transferred to ICU after PAE for 1 to 7 days. Except self-limited fever, no puncture site hematoma, buttock necrosis or vessel rupture was observed. The effect on menstrual cycle and fertility were followed in 25 patients. 17 (68%, 17/25) reported resumption of normal menses and 8 (32%, 8/25) reported amenorrhea. Three pregnancies after PAE were observed. Conclusion PAE is a safe and effective treatment for intractable primary PPH which can prevent hysterectomy and preserve fertility of patients.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy of submucosal resection by CO2 laser in the treatment of recurrent laryngeal papilloma and the effect on prognosis.@*METHOD@#A total of 11 patients diagnosed as recurrent laryngeal papilloma were included in this review. Papilloma was marked before operation and checked under fibro-laryngoscope. Papilloma was resected completely including the submucosal tissure with CO2 laser or microequipment. In widespread papilloma, false membrane in raw surface were cleared 7-10 days after operation. Surgical specimens (including membrane) were detected by routine pathology, HPV typing and immunohistochemical pathologic examination. The patients were checked once a month in the first 3 months after operation, and then once for every 3 months. Once the hoarseness and other symptoms aggravated or the disease was recurrent, the patients were treated immediately.@*RESULT@#HPV viral DNA was found in 10/11 cases, with HPV11 (7/11 cases) and HPV6 (3/11 cases). Cases with regards to follow-up, from 6 months to 1 year, 3 cases were followed up 1 year after operation, without recurrence. Five patients including 2 children were followed up 6 to 12 months after operation, without recurrence. Two children underwent 2 or 3 operations, were followed-up more than 6 months withouting recurrence.@*CONCLUSION@#Papilloma submucosal resection could decrease postoperative recurrence and is worth to be further investigated.

Objective To evaluate the effects of parecoxib on cellular immune function during patientcontrolled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with butorphanol after modified radical mastectomy in patients.Methods Sixty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 36-60 yr,weighing 48-82 kg,scheduled for elective modified radical mastectomy,were randomly divided into 2 groupe (n =30 each):control group (group C) and parecoxib group (group P).PCIA with butorphanol 10μg/kg was used at the end of operation.The PCIA pump was set up to deliver a 0.5 ml bolus dose with a 15-min lockout interval and background infusion at 2 ml/h.In group P,parecoxib 40 mg was injected intravenously at the end of operation and 12,24 and 36 h after surgery,while in group C,the equal volume of normal saline was injected.VAS score was maintained at ≤4.When VAS score≥5,butorphanol was injected intravenously as a rescue analgesic.Blood samples were obtained from the right internal jugular vein at 5 min before induction of anesthesia,2 h after skin incision,and 6 h and 1,3,7 days after surgery for determination of the levels of T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+) and natural killer (NK) cells (by flow cytometry).CD4+/CD8+ was calculated.The number of attempts,the number of successfully delivered doses and requirement for rescue analgesics were recorded at 2,6,12,24 and 48 h after surgery.Adverse effects were also recorded after surgery.Results Compared with group C,the number of attempts and requirement for rescue analgesics were significantly decreased,the number of successfully delivered doses was increased,and the levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and NK cells were decreased at 1 day after surgery (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in adverse effects between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Parecoxib can enhance the efficacy of postoperative PCIA with butorphanol and reduce the consumption of butorphanol thus improving cellular immune function after modified radical mastectomy in the patients.
ABSTRACT
Abnormal thyroid function is high risk for pregnancy.Studies from clinical observation and animal experiments have indicated that maternal sub clinical hypothyroidism during the first gestational term may lead to impairment of brain development of offspring,and early diagnosis and effective treatment may prevent the damage.Therefore,it is suggested that screening thyroid function before gestational 8 weeks in pregnant women is initiated.The changes in thyroid function during pregnancy are related to these changes in maternal thyroid physiology can lead to confusion in the diagnosis or evaluation of thyroid abnormalities.Establishment of trimester-specific reference ranges is urgently needed.Local iodine nutritional statue and testing reagent effect the measured value of thyroid function in general population,so it is recommend that all regions and hospitals should establish their own pregnancy reference ranges.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the level of serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) and the severity of coronary artery disease in elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods We recruited 498 elderly CHD patients undergoing coronary angiography(CAG) from our hospital.Based on CAG results,patients were divided into two groups:406 patients with lesion of vessel(s)and ≥50% vessel stenosis as the CHD group,and the other 92 patients with < 50% vessel stenosis as the negative control group.Their clinical data such as left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and serum BNP was recorded.The patients was further divided into 177 single-,129 double-,100 triple-,and 92 negative vessel disease groups according to the number of vessels with significant stenosis.The patients with CHD were divided into three different age groups:(1) A group:60-69 years old,254 patients ;(2) B group:70-79 years old,112patients;(3)C group:equal or greater than 80 years old,40 patients.Serum levels of BNP were measured before CAG.The relationship between BNP and the severity of coronary disease was analyzed.Results The level of BNP was significantly elevated in the CHD group[(387.5±132.3)ng/L]than the negative control group [(58.6±22.1) ng/L](t =23.83,P < 0.01).The level of BNP was significantly enhanced(F =87.42,P <0.01) along with the increasing number of coronary artery Stenosis,with single vessel disease group(202.2±116.6)ng/L,double vessel disease group(487.5±152.3)ng/L and triple vessel disease group(768.7±264.3) ng/L; the level of BNP significantly increased(F =57.33,P < 0.01) along with increasing age,with A group(182.6±93.1)ng/L,B group(352.2±121.2)ng/L and C group(491.2±158.7) ng/L.The level ofLVEF did not change in the procedure(P > 0.05).Conclusion The levels of BNP were closely associated with the severity of coronary artery disease and were a strong clinical predictor for myocardial ischemia.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of continuous stellate ganglion block (SGB) on serum thyroid hormone and cortisol levels in patients with severe brain injury.Methods Eighty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients with severe brain injury aged 22-61 yr undergoing emergency craniotomy were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 40 each): control group (group C) received routine treatment only and continuous SGB group (group SGB) received continuous SGB with 0.2% ropivacaine besides routine treatment. SGB was performed on the operated side after induction of general anesthesia and tracheal intubation. An epidural catheter was placed. A bolus of 0.2% ropivacaine 7 ml was followed by continuous infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine at a rate of 2 ml/h. Continuous SGB was maintained for 48 h. Successful SGB was confirmed by increase in skin temperature by ≥1.5℃ behind earlobe on the operated side.Venous blood samples were obtained at 30 min before and 3 and 7 day after operation for determination of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3) ,thyroxine (T4) , reverse triiodothyronine(rT3) and cortisol concentrations. Glasgow prognosis score was used to evaluate the clinical results at 3 months after operation. Results Serum T4 , rT3 , TSH and cortisol concentrations were significantly lower while the serum T3 concentration was higher in the SGB group than in group C at 3 and 7 d after operation. The clinical results were significant better in SGB group than in group C according to Glasgow prognosis scores at 3 months after operation. Conclusion Continuous SGB can inhibit the stress response, and improve hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid gland axis function and is helpful to patient's recovery from injury.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the electrophysiological characteristics and pathological changes in different recurrent laryngeal nerve injury models.@*METHOD@#Twenty dogs were divided into different models of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Electrophysiological changes of animal models and histopathological changes in laryngeal muscles were investigated at different time.@*RESULT@#Amplitude of MUP in TA decreased at first and then increased a little, while duration of MUP keeps decreased. The latent periods of the evoked potential in the incomplete injury group increased at first and then went down. In animal histopathological investigation, the lighter of the muscle injuries and the bigger of the diameter of muscle fibers and fascicles, and the smaller of the number of cellular nucleolus per square inch. In the early periods after injury, the correlation among the standard amplitude, threshold amplitude, maximum amplitude of EP and the diameter of fascicles were positive; while in the late period, the correlation among the amplitude, duration, area of MUP and nucleolus number was positive.@*CONCLUSION@#The physiological characteristics of laryngeal nerves and muscles could be known. LEMG was an important method in diagnosis of laryngeal nerve and muscle diseases.
