Objective The prevalence rate, related factors and clinical characteristics of postpartum depression were studied in order to promote obstetrician′s understanding of the disease, and resort to preventive and therapeutic measure earlier. Methods Two hundred and ten puerpera were selected from September to November 1998 for mood study by self rating depression scale, self rating anxiety scale, Hamilton depression scale, and self made questionnaires. Results The prevalence rate of postpartum depression was 37 14% (78/210), of which, 91 03% (71/78) was mild, and 8 97% (7/78) moderate. In addition, 10 48% (22/210) of women got anxiety after delivery. The symptoms, including decreased activity, difficulty in thinking, problems in decision making, difficulty in doing things, feeling of uselessness and hopelessness were chief complaints of postpartum depression patients. Bad social behavior and mood controlling, inadequate psychological preparation for delivery, lack of knowledge of delivery were closely correlated to the onset of postpartum depression, which are the risk factors of postpartum depression. Conclusions Postpartum depression is a spiritual and psychological obstacle with relatively high prevalence rate. Bad social psychological factors can bring out and aggravate postpartum depression. It is important to carry out prenatal psychological care and to propagate the knowledge of delivery, to find out and cure of postpartum depression as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the level of serum triglyceride and early pain after posterior lumbar interbody fusion.Methods A total of 79 patients who were admitted into our hospital from March 2016 to December 2016 were selected into the study,and these patients were divided into two groups according to the degree of pain which means 32 cases in the minor pain group and 47 cases in the intermediate pain group.The difference of serum triglyceride level 3 days after operation were compared between the two groups.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to test the correlation between the level of serum triglyceride and early post-surgical pain.Logistic regression analysis was performed to test the risk factors for early post-surgical pain.Results The data indicated the level of pain was significant higher in the intermediate pain group than that of the minor pain group.Level of serum triglyceride had a significantly positive correlation with the level of post-surgical pain and it was the risk factor of pain after posterior lumbar interbody fusion.Conclusion The level of serum triglyceride is the risk factor of early post-surgical pain of lumbar single level interbody infusion,and it should be adjusted in the perioperative treatment.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects of di-butyl phthalate(DBP) on the sperm motility and oxidative stress in rats.

METHODSHealthy 6-week-old male Sprague Dawlay rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 8 in each group. DBP dissolved in peanut oil was administered by gavage at dosage of 0, 250, 500, 1,000 mg/(kg.d). After 4-week DBP exposure, the animals were killed and the organs were selected and weighed. The sperm VCL, VSL, VAP, BCF, ALH, LIN, MAD and STR in the cauda epididymis were assessed by computer assisted sperm analysis (CASA), and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum and testis homogenate were measured simultaneously. The increase of body weight per day and the organ body weight ratio changes of the liver, testes and epididymides were also observed.

RESULTSThe liver organ body weight ratios of the treated groups were higher than those of the control (P < 0.01), while the testis organ body weight ratios were lower at dosage of 1,000 mg/(kg.d) DBP. Compared with the control group, the parameters of rat sperm VCL and ALH declined significantly at dosage of 1,000 mg/(kg.d) DBP. In addition, DBP showed inhibiting effect on SOD activities in the testis, and it was significant in the highest exposure group compared with the control (P < 0.05). However, there were no differences in serum SOD activities between the treated groups and the control.

CONCLUSIONDBP exposure may affect the sperm motility and the anti-oxidative systems. The testis is a vital target organ influenced by DBP.
