Objective:
To investigate the current status and influencing factors of sleep disorders among pregnant women, so as to provide insights into health management during pregnancy.
Methods:
Pregnant women who underwent prenatal checkups at Hangzhou Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from January to October 2023 were selected as subjects, and general data including age, pregnancy period and exercise were collected through questionnaire surveys. Sleep quality, pregnancy stress, anxiety and depression were evaluated using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale, Pregnancy-related Anxiety Scale and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, respectively. Factors affecting sleep disorders among pregnant women were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 386 pregnant women was surveyed, with a mean age of (30.28±4.65) years, including 20.47% in the first trimester, 47.93% in the second trimester and 31.61% in the third trimester. Women with anxiety and depression accounted for 14.51% and 21.76%, respectively. Pregnancy stress was mainly moderate, accounting for 51.04%. There were 106 pregnant women with sleep disorders, accounting for 27.46%. Mutivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age (≥35 years, OR=1.656, 95%CI: 1.094-2.503), pregnancy period (third pregnancy, OR=2.097, 95%CI: 1.213-3.621), regular exercise in the past 6 months (OR=0.376, 95%CI: 0.210-0.670), anxiety (OR=2.794, 95%CI: 1.545-5.048), depression (OR=3.501, 95%CI: 1.877-6.529) and pregnancy stress (moderate, OR=1.355, 95%CI: 1.018-1.801; severe, OR=2.538, 95%CI: 1.417-4.540) were the factors affecting sleep disorders among pregnant women.
Conclusions
Sleep disorders of pregnant women is influenced by age, pregnancy period, pregnancy stress, anxiety, depression and exercise. It is necessary to identify high-risk individuals with sleep disorders early, and to provide psychological intervention and prenatal health guidance.

Objective:To identify genes interacting with the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2S (UBE2S) in melanoma, and to explore the molecular mechanisms regulating the biological behavior of melanoma cells by UBE2S.Methods:Cultured A375 melanoma cells were divided into 2 groups to be transfected with LV-UBE2S-RNAi (14011-1) -containing lentivirus (gene knockdown group) and a negative control lentivirus CON053 (negative control group), respectively, and the UBE2S gene-knockdown cell line and negative control cell line were established. RNA was extracted from the two cell lines, purified, fragmented, and hybridized with GeneChip probes, followed by washing and dyeing, and then microarray data were obtained. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) software was used to further analyze the gene expression profiling data to identify potential genes interacting with UBE2S. Western blot analysis was performed to verify the downstream molecules regulated by UBE2S. A two-tailed t test was used to screen for differentially expressed genes. Results:A total of 512 differentially expressed genes with a|fold change| > 2 and a P value < 0.05 were screened out between the gene knockdown group and negative control group, including 247 upregulated genes and 265 downregulated genes. IPA of differentially expressed genes revealed that interferon signaling and liver X receptor (LXR) /retinoid X receptor (RXR) activation pathways were significantly activated, while eukaryotic initiation factor-2 (EIF2) signaling and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways were inhibited. Among the upstream regulators, IFNA2 was predicted to be strongly activated, and NF-κB (complex) to be strongly inhibited. Based on the above bioinformatics analysis results, it was suggested that the UBE2S gene may exert some effects in melanoma cells by regulating the expression of IFITM1, STAT1, ISG15 and TNFRSF11B genes. Western blot analysis showed that IFITM1 protein was not expressed in A375 cells before and after the UBE2S gene knockdown. After the UBE2S gene knockdown, ISG15 protein expression was upregulated by 19.94 times, STAT1 protein expression was upregulated by 1.47 times, and TNFRSF11B protein expression was downregulated by 79.1%. Conclusion:UBE2S may interact with STAT1, ISG15 and TNFRSF11B to regulate the biological behavior of melanoma cells.

Objective:To evaluate the correlation between the timed up and go(TUG)test and fall risks in elderly frail patients.Methods:From July to September 2019, elderly frail patients who were treated at the cardiovascular department of our hospital were enrolled.Basic clinical data and fall-related information of patients were collected.Patients were divided into the fall group and the non-fall group.Results on the body mass index(BMI), TUG, 4-meter maximum walking speed(4 m MWS)and Barthel index were compared between the two groups.The correlation between TUG and each indicator was examined.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the TUG and falls in elderly patients.Results:A total of 96 eligible patients were enrolled, including 35 in the fall group and 61 in the non-fall group.The average TUG time was longer in the fall group than in the non-fall group(16.45±6.44 s vs.10.17±2.91 s, t=-6.556, P<0.001). The correlation analysis results showed that the TUG was correlated with falls and 4 m MWS( r=0.582 and 0.875, both P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the TUG( OR=1.201, 95% CI: 1.111-1.470, P=0.004)and 4 m MWS( OR=1.146, 95% CI: 1.063-1.244, P=0.015)were risk factors for falls. Conclusions:The TUG is correlated with fall risks in elderly frail patients and should be recommended as a routine test in clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the optimization strategy of anesthesia for liver cancer resection using serratus anterior plane block-posterior rectus sheath block-general anesthesia.Methods:One hundred patients, aged 30-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, with liver function Child-Pugh grade A or B, scheduled for elective liver cancer resection under general anesthesia, were divided into serratus anterior plane block combined with posterior rectus sheath block group (group S, n=50) and thoracic paravertebral block group (group T, n=50) using a random number table method.Ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (20 ml) combined with posterior rectus sheath block (10 ml) was performed using 0.375% ropivacaine in group S. Ultrasound-guided paravertebral block was performed at T 7 and T 9(15 ml for each site) with 0.375% ropivacaine in group T. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous midazolam, propofol, sufentanil and cisatracurium and maintained with intravenous infusion of propofol and remifentanil and intermittent intravenous boluses of cisatracurium.BIS value was maintained at 40-60 during operation.Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was performed with sufentanil and flurbiprofen at the end of operation, and oxycodone 5 mg was intravenously injected as rescue analgesic when the VAS score>3.The onset time and operation time of nerve block were recorded.The intraoperative consumption of sufentanil and remifentanil and occurrence of cardiovascular events within 30 min after skin incision were recorded.The effective pressing times of PCA and requirement for rescue analgesia within 48 h after operation were recorded.The recovery quality was measured using the 40-item quality of recovery questionnaire at 24 h before surgery and 24 and 48 h after surgery.Peripheral venous blood samples were collected at 24 h before surgery and 24 h and 7 days after surgery to determine the concentrations of interleukin-17 and interferon-gamma in serum.The postoperative time to first flatus, first ambulation time, and length of hospital stay were recorded.The nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, skin itching, puncture site infection, pneumothorax and other adverse reactions were recorded within 48 h after operation. Results:Compared with group T, the operation time of nerve block was significantly shortened, the incidence of intraoperative hypotension was decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the onset time of nerve block, intraoperative consumption of sufentanil and remifentanil, postoperative requirement for rescue analgesia, effective pressing times of PCA, time to first flatus, first ambulation time, and length of hospital stay, and 40-item quality of recovery scores and serum concentrations of interleukin-17 and interferon-gamma at each time point in group S ( P>0.05). No postoperative adverse reactions were found in either group. Conclusions:Compared with thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with general anesthesia, serratus anterior plane block-posterior rectus sheath block-general anesthesia has shorter operation time and lower incidence of intraoperative hypotension when used for liver cancer resection.
