Objective To study the effects of different oxytocin doses on neonatal pathologic jaundice.Methods A total of 386 newborn infants with normal term of labor were selected from the full-term pregnant women who were admitted to Jiaxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from August 2014 to September 2015 were divided into low dose group (2.5 ~5.0U,n=96), middle dose group (5.0 ~7.5U,n=96), high dose group (7.5~10.0U,n=96) and control group (n=98) according to the different dosage of oxytocin.Total labor time, neonatal gender, neonatal weight and maternal age, as well as the day of birth within seven days of skin side of the bile values were recorded.The probability of each group of neonatal patients with pathological jaundice and the relationship with oxytocin doses were studied.Results The incidence of neonatal pathologic jaundice was 3.23%in the low dose group, 6.67%in the middle dose group, 29.73%in the high dose group and 3.16%in the control group.The differences among low dose group, middle dose group and control group were not significan.Compared with high dose group, the incidence of neonatal pathologic jaundice in low dose group, middle dose group, and the control group were all lower(P<0.05).Conclusion Oxytocin less than 7.5U in labor has no significant effect on neonatal pathologic jaundice, >7.5U can promote pathologic jaundice.

Objective:To investigate the factors that influence the prolongation of gestation following emergency cervical cerclage.Methods:This retrospective study included 88 singleton pregnant women who were diagnosed with cervical incompetence and underwent emergency cervical cerclage at 12-26 weeks of gestation in the Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from January 1, 2019 to September 1, 2022. The participants who delivered after 28 gestational weeks were assigned to the success group ( n=77), while those who delivered or miscarried before 28 gestational weeks were assigned to the failure group ( n=11). Two independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. The factors affecting the prolongation of gestation after the procedure were selected by univariate analysis and multiple regression equations. Results:The success rate (delivery rate≥28 weeks) was 87.5% (77/88). There were six women delivered at 28-31 +6 weeks of gestation (6/77, 7.8%), two at 32-33 +6 weeks of gestation (2/77, 2.6%), 16 at 34-36 +6 weeks of gestation (16/77, 20.8%), and 53 at 37 weeks of gestation or later (53/77, 68.8%). Multiple regression analysis indicated that three times of early pregnancy miscarriage ( β=-5.1, 95% CI: -9.5 to -0.7), five times of early pregnancy miscarriage ( β=-11.8, 95% CI: -22.1 to -1.6), had two live births ( β=-6.9, 95% CI: -12.9 to -0.9), gestational age at cerclage ( β=-0.6, 95% CI: -1.0 to -0.3), external cervical os dilation<15 mm ( β=-12.1, 95% CI: -22.5 to -1.8) and ≥15 mm before cerclage ( β=-11.0, 95% CI: -21.4 to -0.71) were factors affecting the prolongation of gestation after cerclage. After adjusting for maternal age and weight before emergency cervical cerclage, five times of early pregnancy miscarriage ( β=-18.1, 95% CI: -28.3 to -7.8), gestational age at cerclage ( β=-0.6, 95% CI: -1.0 to -0.3), and external cervical os dilation≥15 mm before cerclage ( β=-11.4, 95% CI:-21.2 to -1.6) remained the significant influencing factors (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The number of early pregnancy miscarriages, gestational age at cerclage, and the width of external cervical os dilation before cerclage≥15 mm are the factors that influence the prolongation of gestation after the emergency cervical cerclage procedure.
