Factors affecting postpartum stress urinary incontinence among lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older / 预防医学

Objective@#To investigate the factors affecting postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PSUI) among lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older, so as to provide insights into PSUI prevention. @*Methods@#Lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older receiving postpartum examinations were sampled using a convenient sampling method from Hangzhou Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital during the period from January 2021 to April 2022. Participants' demographic data, type of delivery, birth weight, diastasis recti abdominis, pelvic floor muscle strength injury, pelvic floor muscle training were collected, and the development of PSUI was evaluated using the International Consultation on Incontinence modular questionnaire. The factors affecting the development of PSUI were identified among lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older using a multivariable logistic regression model. @*Results@#A total of 230 questionnaires were allocated, and 226 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.26%. The lying-in women had a mean age of (37.30±2.11) years, and 75.66% had a pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.0 kg/m2. There were 29 women with postpartum BMI of 24.0 kg/m2 and greater (12.83%), 201 women with gestational weeks of 37 weeks and greater at delivery (88.94%), 105 women with vaginal delivery (46.46%), 20 women with neonatal birth weights of 4 000 g and higher (8.85%), 149 women with diastasis recti abdominis (65.93%), 154 women with pelvic floor muscle strength injury (68.14%). The prevalence of PSUI was 25.22% among the study subjects. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that vaginal delivery (OR=4.061, 95%CI: 2.124-7.763), postpartum BMI of 24 kg/m2 and higher (OR=1.903, 95%CI: 1.275-3.288), neonatal birth weight of 4 000 g and higher (OR=2.108, 95%CI: 1.420-4.135), diastasis recti abdominis (OR=1.487, 95%CI: 1.110-2.169) and pelvic floor muscle strength injury (OR=2.924, 95%CI: 1.726-4.803) were risk factors for PSUI among lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older, and pelvic floor muscle training was a protective factor for PSUI among lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older (OR=0.410, 95%CI: 0.216-0.780).@*Conclusions@#The development of PSUI correlates with the type of delivery, postpartum BMI, neonatal birth weight, diastasis recti abdominis and pelvic floor muscle strength injury among lying-in women. Reasonable weight control and active pelvic floor muscle training may facilitate the prevention of PSUI.

The combination of orthodontics and fixed denture renovation in treating consecutive teeth loss / 实用口腔医学杂志

To study the therapeutic effect of the combination of orthodontics and fixed denture renovation preliminary in treating consecutive teeth loss. Before the fixing denture renovation,12 cases of consecutive teeth loss were treated to become interval teeth loss by using the orthodontic treatment. All patients received simultaneous functional and cosmetic restoration. The abutment teeth were healthy and the renovational teeth were stable. The combination of orthodontics and fixed denture renovation showed good effect in treating the consecutive teeth loss. It is a good clinical renovation. It is worthy to apply in clinic.

Change and significance of plasma surfactant protein D level in patients with severe multiple trauma combined with acute lung injury / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To dynamically measure level of surfactant protein D(SP-D)in patients with severe multiple trauma and discuss the relationship between SP-D and acute lung injury(ALI)/ARDS and its clinical significance. Methods A total of 36 patients with severe multiple trauma were divided into ALI/ARDS group(20 patients)and non-ALI/ARDS group(16 patients).Peripheral blood samples were collected at days 1,3,7 and 14 after trauma for calculating lung injury score(LIS)and PaO2/FiO2 ratio.Another 12 healthy persons were served as control group.Plasma SP-D levels were measured by using enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay(ELISA). Results The plasma SP-D levels in ALI/ARDS group were markedly higher than those of control group and non-ALI/ARDS group(P<0.01).In ALI/ARDS group,the plasma SP-D levels in severe lung injury group were significantly higher than those of modcrate lung injury group(P<0.05).The plasma SP-D levels in ALI/ARDS group were inversely related to their PaO2/FiO2 ratios(rs=-0.745,P<0.01). Conclusions The plasma SP-D level is relevant not only to the occurrence of traumatic ALI/ARDS after multiple trauma,but also closely to the severity of lung injury,indicating that plasma SP-D is a valuable biomarker in ALI/ARDS.
