Objective To investigate the group B streptococcus( GBS)colonization rate and the relationship between vaginal colonization of GBS and the pregnancy outcome. Methods Five hundred and twenty cases pregnant women were selected as our subjects. Microbiological culture was used for culture of GBS in 1 / 3 of vagina and rectus before delivery,other samples from different sites after delivery(including neonatal throat,ear and placenta). Results (1)The GBS carrier rate in 520 pregnant women was 10. 19%(53 / 520). (2)GBS carrier rate in neonatal was 8. 85%(46 / 520). The carrier rate of neonatal whose mothers also carried GBS was 22. 64%(12 / 53),higher than that of non-carrier mothers(7. 28%(34 / 467),χ2 = 8. 192,P < 0. 05) . The rate of pneumonia and the upper respiratory tract infection of neonatal with GBS-carrier-mother were 20. 75%(11 / 53)and 18. 87%(10 / 53),higher than that of non-carrier mothers(8. 57%(40 / 467)and 4. 71%(22 / 467)). The pneumonia rate and upper respiratory tract infection of GBS positive neonatal were 21. 73%(10 / 46)and 19. 56%(9 / 46),higher than GBS negative one(8. 65%(41 / 474);4. 85%(23 / 474)). and there were significant differences(χ2 = 8. 121,15. 717;P < 0. 05).(3)The incidence of intrauterine infection and fetal distress of neonatal with GBS( + )mother were 47. 17%(25 / 53),15. 09%(8 / 53),significantly higher than that of negative(7. 07%(33 / 467),4. 71%(22 / 467)),and the differences were statistically significant( χ2= 77. 248,9. 440;P < 0. 05). But there were the similar incidence in term of premature rupture of fetal membranes,premature occurrence rate between GBS positive and negative mothers( 28. 30%( 15 / 53 ) vs. 28. 48%(133 / 467;3. 77%(2 / 53)vs. 2. 36%(11 / 467);χ2 = 0. 001,0. 393;P > 0. 05). The rate of GBS positive with mycotic vaginitis,placenta previa ratio were 39. 62%(21 / 53),7. 55%(4 / 53),higher than that of GBS negative one(20. 56%(96 / 467),1. 93%(9 / 467)),and the differences were statistically significant(χ2= 9. 922,6. 168,P < 0. 05). Conclusion Maternal GBS carrier at 35 - 37 weeks of gestation can lead to adverse pregnancy outcome by increasing intrauterine infection fetal distress and neonatal infections. Screening of GBS should be performed routinely in late gestation.

BACKGROUND:The effects of engineered bone scaffold containing seeding cels with different shapes to repair bone defect are varied, while the loaded cellquantity is the important factor influencing the curative effect, but which is rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:By preparing self-made corrugated tissue-engineered bone scaffold and other three forms of bone tissue engineering scaffolds, to study the quantity of loaded cels on different scaffolds and osteogenesis of corrugated tissue-engineered bone scaffold so as to discuss the advantages and features of self-made corrugated tissue-engineered bone scaffold. METHODS: (1) Experimentin vitro: There were four kinds of scaffolds with the same volume and samples: calcium phosphate cement (CPC) corrugated surface scaffold group, smooth surface scaffold group, cylindrical scaffold group and porous cylindrical scaffold with holow tubes group, in which the latter three groups are control ones. A certain volume with same density of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels (BMSCs) suspension after osteogenesis induction was seeded onto the scaffolds. After incubation, culture, digestion and colection, cellquantity was counted, absorbance value was finaly detected and cellactivity was proofed by alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining. (2) Experimentin vivo: New Zealand rabbits were randomly and equaly divided into recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2)/CPC/BMSCs corrugated scaffold group, pure CPC corrugated scaffold group and cancelous bone implant group. Three kinds of scaffold implants with the same volume were inserted into the area between rabbit’s L5, 6 transverse processes bilateraly. At 4, 8, 12 weeks postoperatively, gross and histological observation was performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Experimentin vitro: The drip of cellsuspension steadily stayed on the surface of corrugated scaffold because of corrugated shape groove and the surface tension of the liquid. The amount of cels per sample digested down from the CPC corrugated surface scaffold was significantly more than that from the other three groups (P < 0.05), while the absorbance values did not differ (P > 0.05). (2) Experimentin vivo: At each time point the osteogenesis quantity of rhBMP-2/CPC/BMSCs corrugated scaffold group was more than that of the pure CPC corrugated scaffold group (P < 0.05), while there was no difference from the cancelous bone implant group (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that the characteristics of the self-made corrugated engineered bone scaffold are beneficial to seed cellloading, which supports a large number of osteogenesis and provides feasibility to promote the healing of segmental bone defects.
