Objective:To investigate the influence of free position delivery on maternal labor pain, labor control, maternal and infant outcomes and pelvic floor muscle function.Methods:Forty-eight pregnant women who took delivery in free position in the Third People′s Hospital of Bengbu from April to December 2018 were selected as the study group, and 48 pregnant women who took sitting position delivery at the same period were selected as the control group at a 1∶1 ratio. The pregnancy outcomes of the two groups were compared. The duration of labor time and the amount of bleeding were observed. Simplified McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and labor agentry cale (LAS) were used to evaluate the pain and the labor control of mothers 2 h after delivery. The neonatal asphyxia was evaluated by neonatal Apgar score. The Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) were used to evaluate the anxiety and depression status of mothers in the two groups 6 weeks after the delivery. The pelvic floor muscle function of the pregnant women in the two groups was compared 6 weeks after the delivery.Results:The rate of maternal transfer to cesarean section in the study group was lower than that in the control group [4.17%(2/48) vs. 16.67%(8/48)] , and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.019, P = 0.045). The time of the first and the second stage of labor, the total duration of labor, and the amount of bleeding in the study group were lower than those in the control group [(472.69 ± 55.24) min vs. (515.25 ± 67.26) min, (43.26 ± 5.23) min vs. (52.34 ± 5.56) min, (535.24 ± 38.22) min vs. (582.68 ± 40.16) min, (179.12 ± 25.65) ml vs. (195.34 ± 24.31) ml], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the time of the third stage of labor between the two groups ( P>0.05). After the delivery, the scores of verbal response scale (VRS), visual analogue scale (VAS), present pain intensity scale (PPI) and HAMA, HAMD in the study group were lower than those of the control group [(6.24 ± 1.21) scores vs. (7.68 ± 1.32) scores, (21.25 ± 2.98) scores vs.(27.95 ± 3.75) scores, (2.78 ± 0.29) scores vs. (3.49 ± 0.85) scores, (6.35 ± 0.18) scores vs. (7.54 ± 0.16) scores, (4.38 ± 0.12)scores vs.(5.54 ± 0.25) scores], the score LAS in the study group was higher than that of the control group [(175.18 ± 15.64) scores vs. (122.65 ± 14.85) scores], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The Apgar scores of neonates in the study group was higher than that of the control group at 1 min and 5 min after the delivery, but there was no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in abnormal pelvic floor muscle strength, muscle strength fatigue and abnormal vaginal pressure between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of adverse outcomes in the study group was lower than that in the control group [13.04%(6/46) vs. 35.00%(14/40)] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Free posture delivery can reduce the rate of transfer to cesarean section, shorten the delivery process, and reduce the amount of bleeding. It also can alleviate the anxiety, pain of mothers, increase the labor control, and reduce the incidence of adverse labor outcomes, but its impact on maternal pelvic floor muscle function needs to be further explored.

Objective To investigate and compare the effects of pretreatment with different concentrations of trarnadol and morphine on the differentiation of hunan helper T cells (Th) in vitro. Methods Fifteen ASA Ⅰ patients of both sexes (8 males, 7 females) aged 23-59 yrs scheduled for minor day-care surgery were enrolled in this study. The patients had never taken morphine and tramadol before. Blood samples were taken from peripheral vein. Whole blood and mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood (PBMCs) were incubated with morphine 10, 100 or 1000 ng?ml-1(group M1 , M2 , M3) or tramadol 50, 500, 5000 ng?ml-1(group Q1, Q2, Q3) for 24 h. Then irrntants was added and incubated for another 5 or 24 h. In the whole blood the level of IL-2 and IFN-?(as markers of Th1 cells) and IL-4 and IL-10 (as markers of Th2 cells) were determined using three-color flow cytometry. In PBMCs the expression of CD4+ and CCR5+ (as markers of Thl cells) and CD4+ and CCR3+ (as markers of Th2 cells) were determined. The Th1/Th2 ratio was calculated. Results Pretreatment with morphine or tramadol significantly increased the number of Th2 cells while the number of Thl cells significantly decreased both in a dose-dependent manner leading to a significant decrease in Th1/Th2 ratio. Conclusion Tramadol and morphine can inhabit in vitro the cellular immune function in dose-dependent manner. The immunosuppressive effect of tramadol is less than that of morphine.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of the homemade medicated and dietary compound granules in treating sub-health insomnia with deficient cultivation of heart-spirit. Methods Sixty qualified patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was given homemade medicated and dietary compound granules(mainly composed of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae, Radix Codonopsis, Sclerotiium Poriae Circum Radicem Pini, Radix Polygalae, Flos Rosae Rugosae, Plumula Nelumbinis, Fructus Ziziphi Jugubae, and Arillus Longan). The control group was given Oryzanol powder. The course of treatment lasted for half a month. Before and after treatment, the scores of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) and the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptom rating scale were observed, and the clinical efficacy of the two groups were also evaluated. Results After treatment for half a month and after suspension of medicine for half a month , (1) the total effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05);(2) the total PSQI scores , sleep quality scores , falling asleep time scores , and daytime function disorder scores were decreased in the treatment group (P < 0.01 compared with those before treatment) , but the scores of each PSQI item in the control group stayed unchanged (P > 0.05). The total PSQI scores , sleep quality scores , falling asleep time scores, and daytime function disorder scores of the treatment group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.01);(3) the total scores of TCM symptoms as well as the scores of dreaminess and susceptibility to awakening, palpitation and amnesia, lassitude and weakness, poor appetite, pale complexion, vertigo and dizziness, abdominal distension and loose stools were declined in the treatment group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 compared with those before treatment). Conclusion Medicated and dietary compound granules are effective on improving sleep quality, shortening time to fall asleep, improving sleep disorder, increasing the efficiency of daytime function, improving patients’ mental state entirely, and maintaining the short-term curative effect.
