Objective: To investigate the motivation for weight self-management and analyze its influencing factors among pregnant women in a tertiary hospital in Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into body weight management during pregnancy. Methods: Pregnant women at ages of 18 years and older that underwent prenatal examinations in a tertiary hospital in Hohhot City from January to March, 2022 were sampled using a convenience sampling method. Subjects' age, height, weight, occupation, residence, monthly household income, history of gestation and childbirth and gestational period were collected, and the motivation for weight self-management was evaluated among pregnant women using a pregnancy weight management protein motivation scale. The factors affecting the motivation for weight self-management were identified among pregnant women using a multivariable linear regression model. Results: Totally 969 pregnant women were recruited, including 841 women at ages of <35 years (86.79%), 780 women with an educational level of diploma and above (80.50%), 794 women living in urban areas (81.94%), 729 primiparas (75.23%), 421 women in the third trimester of gestation (43.45%) and 758 women with pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) of <25 kg/m2 (78.22%). The mean score of motivation for weight self-management was 127.53±14.60 among the pregnant women. Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that an educational level of high school and below (β′=-0.201), unemployed/self-employed individuals (β′=-0.077), living in rural areas (β′=-0.059), monthly household income of <10 000 yuan (<5 000 yuan, β′=-0.238; 5 000 to 10 000 yuan, β′=-0.169), in the third trimester of gestation (β′=-0.135), pre-pregnancy BMI of 25 kg/m2 and higher (β′=-0.214) and reduced the motivation for weight self-management among pregnant women. Conclusion The motivation for weight self-management correlates with gestational period, pre-pregnancy BMI, residence, occupation, educational level and monthly household income among pregnant women.

Objective To investigate the effects of combination of propofol and whole-body hypoxic preconditioning on lung ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury in rats and the mechansim involved.Methods Ninety male SD rats weighing 250-320 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=18 each): sham operation group(group S),lung I/R group(group I/R),propofol preconditioning group(group P),whole-body hypoxic preconditioning group(group WBHP),and combination of propofol and whole-body hypoxic preconditioning group(group PW).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 3% pentobarbital 30 mg/kg,tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated.Lung I/R injury was produced by occlusion of hilum of the left lung for 45 min followed by reperfusion.Propofol was continuously infused iv at 30 mg·kg-1·h-1 30 min before ischemia in group P.In group WBHP,5 times of WBHP were performed before ischemia.In group PW,propofol was infused iv at 30 mg· kg-1·h- 1 and 5 times of WBHP were performed 30 min before ischemia.Six rats from each group were killed at 30 min,1 h,and 4 h of reperfusion(T1-3).The lungs were then removed for determination of the contents of TNF-α,IL-1,IL6 and MDA,and activities of SOD.The W/D lung weight ratio was calculated.Results Compared with group S,the contents of TNF-α,IL-1,IL-6 and MDA and W/D ratio were significantly increased at T1-3,and SOD activity was significantly decreased at T1-3 in the other four groups(P＜0.05).The contents of TNF-α,IL-1,IL-6 and MDA and W/D ratio were significantly lower at T1-3 ,and SOD activity was significantly higher at T1-3 in group P,WBHP and PW than in group I/R(P ＜ 0.05).The contents of TNF-α and IL-6 and W/D ratio at T2,3 and contents of IL-1 and MDA at T3 were significantly lower,and SOD activity was significantly higher at T2,3 in group PW than in group P and WBHP(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the parameters metioned above between group P and WBHP(P＞0.05).Conclusion The combination of propofol and WBHP can protect the lungs from I/R injury,the efficacy is better than that of either of them alone,and it may be related to the enhancement in the inhibiton of inflammatory reaction and improvement in the antioxidant effect.

Objective To assess incidence rate of different types of cement leakage in percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) with or without intravertebral clefts and to determine whether basivertebral foramen could be connected with intravertebral cleft.Methods 270 vertebrae in 224 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous kyphoplasty for treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were classified into two groups on preoperative radiographs,computed tomography scans,and/or magnetic resonance images of the treated levels:Cleft group with an intravertebral cleft in vertebral body and trabecular group without intravertebral clefts.On direct postoperative images,the patterns of cement leakage were classified as 5 types:through a cortical defect into paraspinal soft tissues (type A),through the basivertebral foramen (type B),via the needle channel (type C),through a cortical defect into the disc space (type D),via the paravertebral vein (type E).The incidence of different types of cement leakage between two groups was analyzed.Results In 72 of 270 vertebrae,an intravertebral cleft was confirmed on preoperative images.Leaks through basivertebral foramen as type B (42,15.5％) and through cortical defects into the disc space as type D leaks (21,7.8％) were more common than other types.The incidence of type B leakage in the cleft group (23.6％) was higher than the incidence in the trabecular group (12.6％),which made a statistical significance (P=0.028).There was no statistical difference between the trabecular pattern and the cleft pattern on other types of leaks.Conclusion Type B leaks were more common in vertebrae with the presence of an intravertebral cleft,which support the presence of the connection between an intravertebral cleft and the basivertebral foramen.Thus,care must be taken when PKP was performed in these patients to avoid cement leakage into spinal canal through basivertebral foramen directly.

Objective To analyze the clinical and laboratory phenotypes of Duchenne muscular dystrophy(DMD)in a retrospective study of 96 cases and to evaluate therapeutic efficacy of glucocorticosteroid.Methods The clinical phenotype,laboratory examinations resuhs and the records in the follow-up in 96 patients with DMD were collected.The level of serum creatine kinase(CK)and motor ability before and after glucocorticosteroid therapy were analyzed by statistical analysis.Their myocardium impairments and intelligence conditions were also assessed.Results(1)The level of serum CK (mmol/L)had three peaks at the age of ≤ 3 years old(16 547.9 ±770.9),5 years old(14 371.9 ± 696.7)and 8 years old(13 089.8 ± 877.6).The CK level significantly decreased after dexamethasone (5-10 mg,iv)treatment for 10-15 days,but increased again after prednisone acetate(0.50-0.75 mg · kg-1 · d-1,oral)administration for one month(F =6.758,P =0.003).(2)The motor ability improved in 51 DMD cases with long-term oral admission of prednisone,including 24 cases receiving repeated dexamethasone,iv.(3)The myocardial perfusion imaging in 37 DMD cases showed remarkable uneven “spotted like” radionuclide distribution in ventricle.(4)The intelligence quotients in 24 DMD were lower than normal population.Conclusions There are high CK hyperlipidemia and myocardial damage in the sub-clinical stage of DMD and myocardium impairment is positively correlated with age.Glucocorticosteroid therapy has an important effect on the protection of motor and cardiac functions,with recommendation of using in early stage of disease.
