Objective To explore the effect of spa with free position on parturition of primipara.Methods One hundred and thirty-eight primiparas were equally randomized into control group and observation group. The control group conducted Doula delivery,which means a delivery at recumbent or semi-recumbent position when mouth of the uterus opened by 3 cm and the primiparas in the observation group took free position with spa based on Doula delivery. The two groups were compared in terms of the durations of each labor and total labor, postpartum bleeding 2 h after delivery and neonatal Apgar score,delivery way,pains,anxiety and feeling of control at delivery.Results The postpartum bleeding in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). The durations of first labor, second labor and total labor in the observation group were all significantly shorter than those of the control. The degrees of pain and anxiety were lower than those of the control group,while the control sense at delivery was better than that of the control group(P<0.05,for all). There were no differences in the rate of spontaneous delivery,the rate of uterine-incision delivery,the rate of episiotomy and scores on 1 min Apgar scales(P>0.05).Conclusion Aided delivery by spa with free position can reduce labor pain and anxiety levels,improve the birth control and comfort and ultimately enhance the sense of delivery control and comfort.

Objective To investigate the current status of type 2 diabetic patients who failed to achieve the glycemic control target, and provide theoretic evidences for making corresponding strategies. Methods The 2 diabetic patients who failed to reach the glycemic target were recruited from 181 hospitals in 26 cities and received a standard questionnaire, the conditions of their blood glucose level, lifestyle intervention, blood sugar monitoring, and drug therapy were recorded. Totally 3 861 questionnaires with complete information were collected. And the causes which account for glycemic control status were analyzed. Results Among these patients, the mean HbA1c was 7.9%, the mean fasting plasma glucose was 8.2 mmol/L, and the mean postprandial plasma glucose was 11.5 mmol/L. Only 25.6% of patients take their diet control strictly as prescribed and 44. 5% of patients have little exercise. 35. 8% and 47.8% of patients did not monitor their fasting and postprandial plasma glucose,respectively. Glycemic control in the patients aged > 60 years was similar to the younger patients, but the hypoglycemia incidence in the elder group reached 35.5%, which was higher than those in the other 2 groups (20.8% and 21.4%, both P<0. 05 ). The proportion of patients with mono-therapy and combination therapy was 46. 1% and 51.7%, while the proportion with combination therapy rose in the patients aged >60 years (58.7%;Compared with the other age-groups, all P<0.05 ). 75 % of patients have adjusted their drug administration regimen since initial treatment. Conclusions Inadequate or inappropriate drug therapy regimen is a major cause responsible for this poor glycemic control status. In addition, the unhealthy life styles, insufficient blood sugar monitoring, and poor compliance were also important causes. Thus, for these patients, it is necessary to further enhance patients' education, to improve life style intervention, as well as to select more effective, safer, and compliant drug therapy regimens. Finally, the glycemic control target for the elder patients should be more flexible.

Objective To investigate the effect of pentoxifyccine (FIX) on the pathway of high glucosd-induced expression of CTGF in mesangial cells. Methods Cultured rat mesangial celld were used to study the influence of different concentration of high glucose on the expression of TGF-β, CTGF, p-Smad2/3, Smad7 and FN in different exposure time. Furthermore the effect of high glucose plus TGF-β neutral antibody and different concentration of FIX on the obove expression was evaluated as well. Results High glucose could increase TGF-β, CTGF mRNA and protein expression in mesangial cells (P<0.05) in time-and dose-dependent manner, and at the same time p-Smad2/3 expression increased and Smad7 expression decreased (P<0.05).The blockage of TGF-β could decrease high glucose-induced CTGF mRNA and protein expression by 86.4% and 91.8%. PTX could suppress high glucose-induced CTGF expression in mesangial cells. When the PTX dosage increased, the suppressive effect became more remarkable, but PTX had no influence on the TGF-β expression. Conclusions High glucose up-regulates CTGF mRNA and protein expression mainly through TGF-β-Smads pathway. PTX can suppress CTGF expression effectively, but has no direct inhibition of TGF-β expression.
