Objective To explore the effect of non-invasive labor analgesia on postnatal depression among primipara. Methods Three hundred primipara of spontaneous labor in our hospital from February 2014 to April 2014 were assigned as control group and another 300 primiparas of spontaneous labor from May 2014 to August 2014 as experiment group. In the control group, one-to-one responsibility system was conducted for the delivery with an accompanying midwife and in the experiment group, non-invasive labor analgesia was done apart from one-to-one responsibility system. The two groups were compared in terms of analgesic effect at three stages of labor, postnatal depression scores and incidence of postnatal depression. Result The analgesic effect of the experiment group was better than that of the control group during the three stages of labor (all P<0.01), and postnatal depression scores and the incidence of postnatal depression in the experiment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion Non-invasive labor analgesia can relieve the labor pains and decrease the incidence of postnatal depression among primiparas.

BACKGROUND:B-lymphocytes are an important participant in the immunity system. Currently, magnetic beads and complement methods are mainly used to isolate and purify B-lymphocytes. However, these methods are costly or cause large cel damage and low purity, which need further improvement. OBJECTIVE: To explore the isolation and culture methods of B-lymphocytes from mouse spleen and to study suitable conditions for B-lymphocyte isolation and culture in vitro by using interleukin-4, lipopolysaccharide, CD3 monoclonal antibody or their combination. METHODS:B-lymphocytes from mouse spleen were isolated and randomly divided into seven groups, respectively treated with interleukin-4, CD3 monoclonal antibody, lipopolysaccharide, interleukin-4+CD3, interleukin-4+lipopolysaccharide, CD3+lipopolysaccharide, and no stimulation (control group). Flow cytometry was used to detect the changes in the number and proportion of T-lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and their subpopulations under different culture conditions. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of lymphocytes peaked at 3-5 days after addition of interleukin-4. In the lipopolysaccharide group, the number of lymphocytes began to increase at 3 days, and then peaked at 5 days. T-lymphocytes disappeared after addition of CD3 monoclonal antibody, so relatively pure B-lymphocytes could be obtained after 2 days and the number of B-lymphocytes reached the peak at 3 days. The number of mature B-lymphocytes (B220+IgD+) increased significantly after addition of CD3 antibody. In al the conditions we tested, transitional B cel subset (B220+CD93+) disappeared completely after 24 hours of culture. Experimental results indicate that after addition of CD3 monoclonal antibody and interleukin-4, T-lymphocytes can be removed in mouse spleen cels cultured, but mature B-lymphocytes remain to survive and proliferate.

Objective:To understand the relationship between the disease condition of patients with coal-burning-borne endemic arsenic poisoning (abbreviated as coal-burning-borne arsenic poisoning) and serum lipid metabolism indicators.Methods:Using a case-control study method, in the coal-burning-borne arsenic poisoning village of Yuzhang Town, Qianxinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, 204 patients with arsenic poisoning diagnosed according to the standard of "Diagnosis of Endemic Arsenicosis" (WS/T 211-2015) were included in case group, including 87 males and 117 females, aged(53.37 ± 8.06) years old; and they were divided into mild arsenic poisoning group (71 cases), moderate arsenic poisoning group (59 cases) and severe arsenic poisoning group (74 cases) according to the clinical grading. Another 63 residents were selected into control group in a non-arsenic-exposed village about 12 km away from the diseased village, including 23 males and 40 females, aged (53.78 ± 9.10) years old. A face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted for each group of people, including basic information such as general demographic characteristics, smoking status, and drinking status; fasting peripheral blood was collected, and an automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels.Results:There were significant differences of serum TC [(4.94 ± 1.00), (5.00 ± 0.99), (5.27 ± 0.94), (5.57 ± 1.07) mmol/L], TG [(2.17 ± 0.90), (2.25 ± 1.31), (2.66 ± 1.43), (2.78 ± 1.40) mmol/L], LDL-C [(2.51 ± 0.79), (2.74 ± 0.64), (2.97 ± 0.66), (3.15 ± 0.80) mmol/L], and HDL-C levels [(1.57 ± 0.55), (1.42 ± 0.43), (1.36 ± 0.42), (1.30 ± 0.38) mmol/L] in control group, mild, moderate and severe arsenic poisoning groups ( F = 5.83, 3.64, 9.72, 4.41, P < 0.01 or < 0.05). Among them, the serum TC level in severe arsenic poisoning group, serum TG and LDL-C levels in moderate and severe arsenic poisoning groups were significantly higher than those in control group ( P < 0.05); the serum HDL-C level in moderate and severe arsenic poisoning groups were lower than that in control group ( P < 0.05); the serum TC, TG and LDL-C levels in severe arsenic poisoning group were significantly higher than those in mild arsenic poisoning group ( P < 0.05). After linear trend test, serum TC, TG and LDL-C levels all showed an upward trend with the degree of arsenic poisoning ( Ftrend = 15.77, 10.14, 29.15, P < 0.05), and serum HDL-C level showed a downward trend with the degree of arsenic poisoning ( Ftrend = 12.75, P < 0.05). There were significant differences in the abnormal rates of serum TC, TG and LDL-C levels among control group and mild, moderate and severe arsenic poisoning groups (χ 2 = 21.16, 16.60, 8.29, P < 0.01 or < 0.05). Among them, the serum TC and TG levels abnormal rates in moderate and severe arsenic poisoning groups and serum LDL-C level abnormal rate in severe arsenic poisoning group were higher than those in control group ( P < 0.05), the serum TC, TG and LDL-C levels abnormal rates in severe arsenic poisoning group were higher than those in mild arsenic poisoning group ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference of the serum HDL-C level abnormal rate among four groups (χ 2 = 2.11 , P > 0.05). The results of trend chisquare analysis showed that the abnormal rates of serum TC, TG and LDL-C levels presented an increasing trend with the degree of arsenic poisoning (χ 2trend = 19.90, 15.25, 7.63, P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of abnormal serum TC level in patients with severe arsenic poisoning was 2.90 times that in control group [odds ratio ( OR) = 2.90, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.43 - 5.91], and the risk of abnormal serum LDL-C level in patients with severe arsenic poisoning was 2.87 times that in control group ( OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 1.22 - 6.71). Conclusion:There is a correlation between the disease condition of patients with coal-burning-borne arsenic poisoning and their dyslipidemia.

Objective To investigate vein pump injection of epinephrine on the effect of serum potassium during gastric cancer radical surgery. Method Forty patients with ASA grade Ⅱ~Ⅲ underwent surgery within a time limit of gastrointestinal under general anesthesia. All patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group.Patients in the experimental group received continuous intravenous injections of adren-aline[0.03 to 0.1 μg/(kg·min)].Patients in the control group received equal dose of saline.Potassium concentra-tions at different time points were determined and compared between patients in two groups. Results No signifi-cant differences were observed in gender and age distribution of patients in the experimental group and the control group. Compared with the control group,potassium concentration was significantly decreased in patients at T3mo-ment(30 min pump injection of norepinephrine)(P<0.05),but was lower than that of patients in the experimen-tal group at T1moment(before anesthesia)(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,potassium concentration was significantly increased in the experimental group at T4moment(pump adrenaline injection for 10 min)(P <0.05),which was also significantly higher than that in the experimental group at T1moment(P < 0.05). Mean-while,compared with the control group,potassium concentration was also significantly increased in the experimen-tal group at T5moment(stop the pump adrenaline injection for 30 min),which was also significantly higher than that in the experimental group at T1moment(P < 0.05). Conclusions Intravenous injection of adrenaline can reduce potassium concentration in patients received gastrointestinal surgery,and potassium concentration can be increased after adrenalin injection was stopped.
