Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of pressing-kneading manipulation combined with herb-insulated moxibustion at Shuidao(ST28)for postpartum urinary retention after labor analgesia and its effect on bladder urination function. Methods:A total of 154 patients with postpartum urinary retention after labor analgesia were randomly divided into a Western medication group and a herb-insulated moxibustion group,with 77 cases in each group.In the Western medication group,neostigmine sulfate was injected into Zusanli(ST36).In the herb-insulated moxibustion group,after pressing-kneading manipulation at Shuidao(ST28),herb-insulated moxibustion was applied to Shuidao(ST28)with self-made Tong Quan San.Both groups were treated once,and the clinical efficacy was evaluated 5 h after treatment.The first urination time,first urination volume,average urinary flow rate,bladder residual urine volume,hospitalization days,and costs were recorded. Results:The total effective rate and markedly effective rate of the herb-insulated moxibustion group were higher than those of the Western medication group(P<0.05),the time to the first urination and residual urine volume in the bladder of the herb-insulated moxibustion group were shorter or smaller than those of the Western medication group(P<0.01),the first urination volume and average urine flow rate of the herb-insulated moxibustion group were larger than those of the Western medication group(P<0.01).There were no significant differences in the hospitalization days and costs between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion:Pressing-kneading manipulation combined with herb-insulated moxibustion at Shuidao(ST28)can effectively treat postpartum urinary retention after labor analgesia and improve bladder urination function.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and the best assessment time of the short-latency somatosensory evoked potential (SLSEP) and brainstem auditory-evoked potential (BAEP) in the prognosis prediction of patients with severe cerebrovascular disease. Methods A prospective trial was conducted. The patients with severe cerebrovascular disease and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) ≤ 8 and admitted to the neurological intensive care unit (NICU) of Armed Police Logistics College Affiliated Brain Hospital from December 2014 to May 2015 were enrolled. The patients received SLSEP and BAEP nerve electrophysiological examinations within 24 hours and on 3, 7, 15 days after admission respectively and were graded according to Cant method. GCS was evaluated within 24 hours and on 15 days after admission. The prognosis was evaluated by Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at six months after the onset of the disease. At different time windows after the onset of the disease, the correlations between different predictive indexes (GCS, SLSEP and BAEP) and outcome (GOS) were analyzed using spearman rank correlation; in the mean time, the efficacy for predicting the prognosis by single index or combined indexes was compared by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. Results Seventy-eight patients were enrolled [men 46, women 32, age range (60.79±12.50) years old]. There were 78, 64, 44 and 19 patients observed at 24 hours and on 3, 7, 15 days after admission because the short-term death of some patients. The graded abnormal rate of SLSEP was 75.64%, 82.81%, 79.55% and 73.98% respectively; and the graded abnormal rate of BAEP was 82.05%, 84.38%, 85.94% and 73.68% respectively. ① Correlation analysis: all the predictors were correlated with GOS within 24 hours and on 3, 7, 15 days after admission, and SLSEP and BAEP grading were moderately correlated with GOS (0.4≤|R| < 0.7). ② The accuracy of the predicting prognosis: the area under the curve (AUC) of GCS on 15 days after admission [AUC = 0.772, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.561-0.984, P = 0.045] was the maximum when predicting survival. AUC of SLSEP (AUC = 0.825, 95%CI = 0.695-0.955, P = 0.000) and BAEP (AUC = 0.786, 95%CI = 0.646-0.927, P = 0.002) were the maximum on 7 days after admission when predicting death. ③ The effectiveness of the prognosis prediction: the sensitivity of SLSEP grading and BAEP grading were 92.6% and 96.3% respectively, while the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of SLSEP and BAEP combined prediction were 100% on 7 days after admission. The specificity of GCS was 100% on 15 days after admission. Conclusions SLSEP and BAEP have more close correlation with prognosis compared with the GCS; Continuous dynamic combined evaluation of SLSEP and BAEP has important clinical value for patients with severe cerebrovascular disease possess in the prognosis assessment, the accuracy and the effectiveness of SLSEP and BAEP combined prediction were higher on 7 days especially.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of suicidal ideation and the effects of daily stress and positive mental health on suicidal ideation among college freshmen in Wuhan. This study aims to provide a scientific basis for mental health improvement and suicide prevention among college students from the perspective of positive psychology.
Methods:
In December 2020, a convenient sampling method was used to select 2 592 freshmen from three universities in Wuhan. Demographic information, suicidal ideation, positive mental health, and daily stress were assessed. T test and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the status and influencing factors of suicidal ideation among college freshmen.
Results:
The one year prevalence of suicidal ideation was 27.5%. Freshmen with suicidal ideation had higher daily stress scores and daily stress scores in different domains than freshmen without suicidal ideation( t =-13.00--4.68), the positive mental health scores of freshmen with suicidal ideation were lower than freshmen without suicidal ideation ( t =17.14, P <0.01). Female ( OR=1.72, 95%CI =1.44-2.05), the higher education level of the mother (OR=1.27, 95%CI=1.05-1.53) and total experience of daily stress ( OR=1.11, 95%CI =1.09- 1.13 ) were associated with risk of oneyear suicidal ideation. Positive mental health was negatively associated with suicidal ideation ( OR=0.88, 95%CI=0.87-0.90, P <0.01) and had a moderating effect on the association between daily stress and suicidal ideation.
Conclusion
Suicidal ideation among college freshmen is closely related to daily stress and positive mental health. It is necessary to pay close attention to daily stress of freshmen and reduce suicidal ideation by improving positive mental health.
