Objective To describe the depression of premature infants′ mothers and discuss the related influence factors. Methods A total of 86 premature infants′ mothers completed Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale at 3-days postpartum in this descriptive study during August 2014 to January 2015 in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University. Results The prevalence of postpartum depression in premature infants′ mothers was 25.6% (22/86). Educational levels, family support, character, and number of abortion of mothers, pregnancy complication, gestational age, birth weight, Apgar score, length of hospitalization, and birth with abnormalities of premature infants were found significantly associated with postpartum depression (P<0.05). By Logistic regression, family support (OR=3.253, 95% CI=1.180-8.966) and length of hospitalization (OR=2.905, 95% CI=1.418-5.952) were the risk factors of the postpartum depression at 3-days after delivery. Conclusions Premature infants′mothers at 3-days postpartum presented with obvious postpartum depression. Psychological intervention should be focused on its influence factors.

Objective:To evaluate the application value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in guiding the postoperative radiothera-py plan of the gliomas adjacent to the corticospinal tract (CST). Methods:Thirty patients with gliomas adjacent to the CST underwent routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast-enhanced scanning and DTI after radiotherapy. Tractography data sets were ac-quired and were fused with the images of corresponding anatomical MRI and computed tomography. The acquired data sets of radio-therapy planning system were imported to assist with the delineation of the target volume, organs at risk, and CST. Two sets of radio-therapy plan, which considered or did not consider the dose protective effect of the CST, were formulated and compared using the treat-ment technique of intensity modulated radiotherapy. Results:The protective radiotherapy and unprotected plans both achieved the thera-peutic dose to the target volume and the protection of the routine organs at risk. In the protective dose (with an optimization program that considered the dose reduction of CST), the maximum and mean radiation doses suffered by the patients' ipsilateral and contra-later-al CSTs were lower compared with the unprotected plan (P<0.05). Conclusion:DTI can identify the location and shape of CSTs, and their relationship with the postoperative radiotherapy target of gliomas. These findings contribute to the formulation of a protective ra-diotherapeutic regimen to keep the CST from the maximum and the mean radiation doses to the largest extent, thereby decreasing the possibility of nerve damage after radiotherapy.

Objective To study the effect of sodium hyaluronate on the expression of transforming growth factor-β3(TGF-β3) and Smad 6 of the epidural scar tissue. Method Totally 60 male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups:the control group(A, n = 30), sodium hyaluronate group(B, n = 30). 0.25 × 1 cm2 dura mater uncovered area laminectomy was performed at L4 and L5, covered with 0.3 ml sodium hyaluronate in group B, covered with same amount of saline in group A. The animals were sacrificed at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after operation. The specimens were prepared for determination of the expression of TGF-β3 and Smad 6 at scar tissue and the degree of scar adhesion according to Rydell method, and observed the ultrastructure changes of scar tissue with transmission electron microscope. Results At 2 weeks after operation, the expression of TGF-β3 mRNA of two groups were 0.22 and 0.257 ( P = 0.027), respectively. At 4 weeks, group B was was increased significantly, and the mean numbers were 0.362 and 0.411 (P = 0.006). At 8 weeks, the expression of TGF-β3 mRNA of group A was increased significantly, too, but the difference between two groups was significantly, they were 0.427 and 0.470 (P =0.015), respectively. The trend of the expression of TGF-β3 and Smad 6 mRNA was similar. At 2, 4, 8, weeks, the expression was 0.169 and 0.205 (P = 0.089), 0.294 and 0.351 (P = 0.031), and 0.469 and 0.543 (P = 0.021), respectively.In group B the duramater adhesion was decreased (P < 0.05), the proliferation of fibroblasts and fihroblastic function were inhibited (P < 0.05). Conclusions Sodium hyaluronate up-regulated the expression of TGF-β3 and Smad6 and reduced the proliferation and collagen synthesis in fibroblast culture in the scar tissue.
