Objective To assess the protective effect of vaccination in routine application on hepatitis B virus (HBV) exposed infants and to clarify whether hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) administration of pregnant women may reduce the risk of maternal-fetal transmission of HBV. Methods Serum samples of 6398 pregnant women at gestation of 15-20 weeks from 6 urban and 8 rural areas across Jiangsu province were previously tested for serologic markers of HBV by ELISA from July 2002 to August 2004. In this study, infants born to 419 HBV carrier mothers were taken as the study group, while infants born to 453 non-carrier mothers were taken as the control group by stratified random sampling. They were followed-up and screened for HBV markers during October 2009 to March 2010. Information including HBIG administration during pregnancy, HBV vaccination and HBIG administration of the infants were collected. χ2 test or Fisher′s exact method were used to compare the rates and the comparison of the means was by t test. Results The follow-up rates of the study group and control group were 71.12% (298/419) and 72.41% (328/453), respectively. Of the 298 infants born to HBV carrier mothers, 11 (3.7%) were positive for HBsAg, while none of the 328 infants born to non-carrier mothers was HBsAg positive (χ2=12.32, P<0.01). All of the 11 children were born to mothers with both HBsAg and HBeAg positive, and nine of the 11 children were not injected HBIG or not immunized with hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours after birth, with only one received regular vaccination and detailed information was unknown in one case. The positive rates of anti-HBs in the study group and the control group were 69.46% and 69.21% respectively (χ2=0.01, P=0.95). HBsAg positive rate of the children born to pregnant women treated with HBIG during late pregnancy (n=92) was 2.17% (n=2), whereas that in the children born to women not treated with HBIG (n=197) was 4.57% (χ2=0.98, P=0.51). Conclusions The protective effect of immunoprophylaxis in routine application against perinatal HBV infection in Jiangsu province is good. Efforts are required to emphasize the importance of HBIG administration in infants born to HBV carrier mothers, especially in HBeAg positive mothers within 24 hours after delivery. Treatment of HBsAg positive pregnant women with HBIG in third trimester would not decrease the risk of maternal-fetal transmission of HBV.

Objective To investigate the effect of supine regulating on maternal fetal occiput posterior position during the delivery after epidural analgesia. Methods Totally600 cases of parturient with intravaginal posterior occipital position with 3cm voluntary labor analgesia were selected,who were born in Dalian maternity hospital from October 2015 to October 2016.The(Visual Analogue Scale/Score) VAS pain score at 15min after epidural labor analgesia was as effective as less than 3 points.They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group by random number table method,with 300 cases in each group.The control group monitored parturient respiration, pulse, blood pressure, heart rate and fetal heart rate according to routine treatment.The control group monitored parturient respiration, pulse, blood pressure, heart rate and fetal heart rate according to routine treatment.In the observation group,except for routine treatment according to the labor process,after the opening of 5cm,the pregnant women were instructed to take the lateral prone position,so that the maternal side and the fetal side of the spinal column should be the same side. To observe the difference between the two groups in the rate of spontaneous vaginal delivery, delivery rate, cesarean section rate, fetal cardioversion rate, time of birth process and neonatal Apgar score. Results Totally 283 cases delivery through vagina and 17 cases of cesarean section in observation group,while 257 cases of vaginal delivery and 43 cases of cesarean section in the control group.The successful rate of fetal position transfer in the observation group was 74.6%(211/283) which was significantly higher than 45.9% (118/257) of the control group (Χ2=62.782, P<0.01), natural labor rate was also 87.3% (262/300) which increased significantly according to 64.7% (194/300) (Χ2=42.251, P<0.01),the rate of midwifery (7.0%, 21/300) and cesarean section (5.7%, 17/300) were significantly lower than 21.0% (63/300)and 14.3% (43/300) of the control group (Χ2=24.419, 12.519,P<0.01),the second stage of labor was(1.60±0.56)h which was significantly shortened than(2.19±0.53)h also(t=-12.589,P<0.01).In the observation group, the ratio of the posterior occipital position to the occipital transverse position after the opening of 8-10 cm and the complete dilation of the cervical were 7.4%(21/283)and 13.1%(37/283),which were also significantly increased than 3.4%(9/264),6.8%(18/264) of the control group (Χ2=4.240, 5.911, P<0.05). Conclusions Supine adjustment after the cervix dilatation larger than 5cm is more conducive to fetal rotation and to avoid the adverse complications, reduce the rate of vaginal delivery and cesarean section rate,improve the rate of natural childbirth,shorten delivery time,improve the quality of delivery.
