Different maternal positions and movement are utilized gradually in clinic while today it appears that the majority of women in the world birth in supine position or lithotomy position. To know the current situation and progress of the studies concerning different maternal positions and movement during labour and to explore the current relevant problems in clinic. The search strategy was designed to identify the relevant literature. The search was limited to the last 20 years as current literature was sought. Thirty eight papers were identified as relevant and included in this literature review. The majority studies is concerning about the outcome of mother and fetus. There is no unitized clinical pathway currently, and the objects implemented are limited. There is no study related to the requirement of implementing different maternal positions and movement during labor in clinic and the effect of pelvic floor function after parturition. The positive effect of implementing different maternal positions and movement during labor can be sure for the process of parturition and the outcome of mother and baby. Childbirth in different maternal positions and movement is the trend in the future. Therefore, how to utilize different maternal positions and movement during labor well, it is still a huge challenge for medical staff. And more convincing studies and information are needed as evidence in clinic.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of radioactive 125I seed implantation in treating recurrent cervical lymphatic metastases after radiotherapy. Methods During the period from Aug. 2011 to July 2012, 17 patients with recurrent cervical lymphatic metastases who had received radiotherapy before were admitted to authors’ hospital. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 23 metastatic lymph nodes were detected in the 17 patients. Brachytherapy treatment planning system (TPS) was used to formulate the number, activity and distribution of radioactive 125I seeds. The radioactive activity was 0.3 - 0.8 mCi (1.30 × 107- 2.96 × 107 Bq), and the matched peripheral dose (MPD) was 60 - 120 Gy. Guided by ultrasound and CT radioactive 125I seeds were implanted under local anesthesia. CT scanning was performed within 24 hours after the procedure. Postoperative D90 was (81.4 ± 2.1) Gy. CT examination was employed every two months to determine the tumor size and to record the complications. Results All patients were followed up for 6 months. The 6-month local control rate was 65.2%. The control rates (CR+PR) for<4 cm (n=10) and>4 cm (n=13) lymph nodes were 90%and 46%respectively, the difference between the two was statistically significant (P = 0.038). No significant difference existed between the control rate (CR + PR) and the un-control rate (SD + PD) for each lymph node group at cervical Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅴ grade Ⅱ was seen in 8 cases and grade Ⅰ in 7 cases. No severe complications occurred. Conclusion For the treatment of recurrent cervical lymphatic metastases after radiotherapy, radioactive 125I seed implantation is effective and mini-invasive with fewer complications. This technique is more suitable for < 4 cm solitary metastatic lymph node with clear border.

Objective:To compare the serum levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1),interleukin-17 (IL-17),inter-leukin-23 (IL-23)in patients with bronchial asthma at different degrees of airway obstruction after standardized treatment,in order to explore the significance of TGF-β1,IL-17,IL-23 in airway remodeling in patients with asthma.Methods:Ninety-one asthma patients,who underwent standardized treatment for at least three months,were recruited by applying control study.By using FEV1%pred as grouping criterion,the 91 patients with asthma were divided into the mild asthma group (FEV1%pred≥80%),the moderate asthma group (60 %< FEV1 %< 80%)and the severe asthma group (FEV1 %≤60%).In addition, 27 healthy people were selected as control group.The serum levels of TGF-β1,IL-17,and IL-23 in each group were monitored and compared with each other.Results:1.Compared with that in the control group,the serum levels of TGF-β1 in asthma group were higher,while the levels of IL-17 were lower.There was no significant difference in serum IL-23 level between the two groups.2.Comparison were done among the asthma groups.There were significant differences in serum levels of TGF-β1 and IL-17 between mild asthma group and moderate-to-severe asthma group (P < 0.05 ),while there were no significant differences between moderate group and severe group.3.Serum IL-17 level was correlated negatively with TGF-β1 level. FEV1%pred was correlated negatively with serum TGF-β1 level and positively with serum IL-17 level,while it had no correla-tion with serum IL-23 level.Conclusions:In patients with asthma,the serum TGF-β1 level is negatively correlated with FEV1%pred,which indicates that TGF-β1 is an important index for airway remodeling.The serum levels of IL-17 in patients with asthma is lower than those in healthy people.Furthermore,the decrease of serum IL-17 level is more significant while the obstruction is worse.The probable answer is that persistent airway inflammation inhibits secretion and expression of IL-17,so that the expression of IL-17 declines in phase with severe impairment of pulmonary function and severe airway remodeling.
