Objective To investigate influential factors and incidence of postpartum urinary retention after forceps delivery. Method The clinical data of 216 cases of puerperas undergoing forceps delivery in our hospital from January 2012 and July 2015 were collected and investigated in terms of postpartum urinary retention as well as its influencing factors. Results The incidence rate of postpartum urinary retention was 24.07%(52/216).Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed the significant positive variables for the outcomes included:the first stage of labor and postpartum 2h bleeding.Conclusion The first stage of labor time and postpartum 2h bleeding are the high risk factors of uroschesis after forceps delivery.

BACKGROUND:
Colorectal carcinogenesis and progression are related to the gut microbiota and the tumor immune microenvironment. Our previous clinical trial demonstrated that berberine (BBR) hydrochloride might reduce the recurrence and canceration of colorectal adenoma (CRA). The present study aimed to further explore the mechanism of BBR in preventing colorectal cancer (CRC).
METHODS:
We performed metagenomics sequencing on fecal specimens obtained from the BBR intervention trial, and the differential bacteria before and after medication were validated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We further performed ApcMin/+ animal intervention tests, RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
RESULTS:
The abundance of fecal Veillonella parvula ( V . parvula ) decreased significantly after BBR administration ( P = 0.0016) and increased through the development from CRA to CRC. Patients with CRC with a higher V. parvula abundance had worse tumor staging and a higher lymph node metastasis rate. The intestinal immune pathway of Immunoglobulin A production was activated, and the expression of TNFSF13B (Tumor necrosis factor superfamily 13b, encoding B lymphocyte stimulator [BLyS]), the representative gene of this pathway, and the genes encoding its receptors (interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor beta) were significantly upregulated. Animal experiments revealed that V. parvula promoted colorectal carcinogenesis and increased BLyS levels, while BBR reversed this effect.
CONCLUSION:
BBR might inhibit V. parvula and further weaken the immunomodulatory effect of B cells induced by V. parvula , thereby blocking the development of colorectal tumors.
