Objective To evaluate the effect of cesarean section (CS) and vaginal delivery (VD) on postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic floor muscles strength and to find out the correlated obstetric factors and preventions for postpartum SUI. Methods Totally, 788 women, who visited the antenatal clinics, delivered and had the follow-up at 6-8 weeks after delivery in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in the year of 2008, were enrolled in this study and were divided into 3 groups: CS group (n=212); normal vaginal delivery (NVD) group (n=534) and forceps delivery (FD) group(n=42). Women in the NVD and FD group were merged into one VD group and then divided into SUI and non-SUI group. Information of delivery mode and the correlated obstetric factors were obtained through questionnaires and medical records. Femiscan pelvic floor muscle examine system was applied to measure the pelvic floor muscle strength to understand the relationship between postpartum SUI and pelvic floor muscle strength. Results (1) Incidence of SUI: The overall proportion of women who complained of urinary incontinence (UI) during pregnancy was 15.4% (121/788), and it was 15.9% (85/534), 11.9%(5/ 42) and 14.6% (31/212) in the NVD, FD and CS group, respectively(P>0.05). The overall incidence of postpartum SUI was 17. 1% (135/788), and it was 19.1% (102/534), 26.2% (11/42) and 10.4% (22/212) in the NVD, FD and CS group, respectively, with significant difference between the NVD and FD group, and between the CS and NVD group (all P < 0.01). (2) The associated obstetric factors of postpartum SUI: Among the VD group, 113 women were in the postpartum SUI group and 463 in the non-SUI group. Univariate analysis and logistic multivariate analysis showed that delivery mode, neonatal birth weight and UI during pregnancy were risk factors of postpartum SUI. CS decreased and higher neonatal birth weight and UI during pregnancy increased the risk of postpartum SUI. In the VD group, neonatal birth weight, forceps delivery and UI during pregnancy increased the incidence of postpartum SUI(P<0.01), but no correlation was found with labor analgesia, duration of labor, episiotomy, breast feeding, volume of postpartum bleeding, gestational weeks at delivery, induction and pre-pregnant BMI, etc (all P>0.05).(3) Pelvic floor electromyogram: Pelvic floor muscles strength in the CS group was significantly higher than that of the VD group [activity value: (19. 7±9.9) μv vs (14. 8±8.4) μv; work value: (84. 5±37.2) μv vs (78. 8±28.2) μv; peak value: (25.5±12. 5) μv vs (19. 7±11.8) μv, all P<0.01]. Among women in the VD group, the relaxation value and the ratio of relaxation value over activity value (r/a) in the postpartum SUI group were significantly lower than those in the non-SUI group [relaxation value: (1.7±1.8) μv vs (3.0±3.9) μv; r/a ratio: 0. 2±0. 2 vs 0. 3±0. 5, all P <0.01]. The r/a ratio in the VD group showed no difference compared to that in the CS group (0. 2±3.5 vs 0. 2±0. 2, P>0.05).Conclusion Women experienced vaginal delivery, either NVD or FD, have a higher incidence of postpartum SUI than those delivered through CS. UI during pregnancy, forceps delivery and neonatal birth weight are risk factors of postpartum SUI.

Objective To study the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) after transferred angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) type 2 receptor (AT2R) gene. 　Methods The recombinant adenoviral vector, AdCMV-AT2R, containing rat AT2 receptor gene was constructed by homologous recombination, and transfered to rat VSMC in vitro. The expression of AT2R mR NA was detected by RT-PCR. The rate of expression and the change of cell cycle in VSMC were analysed by flow cytometry. These assays including cell devision index. Incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU) and 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide( MTT) were used to determine the proliferation of VSMC. The modified Boyden's chamber method was used to test the migration of VSMC. The r e-organization of F-actin in VSMC was analysed by confocal microscopy. 　Results RT-PCR showed that the expression of AT2R mRNA increased substantially in transferred VSMC, and the peak value of expression rate is about 89.51% at 48 hours. When the expression of AT2R is at peak value, the ratio of S, G2 and M periods was reduced from 31.7% to 13.9%(P<0.05). The OD values of MTT and BrdU incorporation were reduced by 61.4% and 51.6% respectively(P<0.0(1). the number of VSMC migration was reduced by 62.2%(P<0.05) and the expression of F-actin was also decreased signific antly. 　Conclusion AdCMV-AT2R induced high level expression of AT2 receptor in cultured rat VSMC and its expression can significantly inhibit the proliferation and migration of rats VSMC in vitro.

AIM:To investigate the impact of long-term administration of pentoxifylline (PTX) on morphology and inflammation of the lung in mouse models with chronic exposure of cigarette smoke. METHODS: Male BALB/c mice were randomized into the following four study groups: smoke-exposure only, shamed smoke-exposure, smoke-exposure and PTX administration, shamed smoke-exposure and PTX administration. Animals assigned to smoke-exposure were put inside a chamber twice a day for cigarette smoke exposure. The oral dose of PTX allocated to each mouse was about 20 mg?kg-1?d-1. Animals were sacrificed anaesthetically at day 120. Slices of lung were stained with H&E for pathological analysis. Modified ashcroft pulmonary fibrosis score (mAPFS) was estimated, and IFN-? (a Th1 cytokine), IL-4 (a Th2 cytokine) in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and hydroxyproline in mouse lung tissue were measured by commercial kits of ELISA assay. RESULTS: Lungs in smoke-exposure only group exhibited emphysema-like morphology, low mAPFS (median 1.50, 95%CI 1.25-3.75), lowest hydroxyproline (2.43?0.11) mg/L and lowest ratio of IL-4 to IFN-? (20.3?25.5), whereas lungs in smoke-exposure and PTX interference group exhibited interstitial fibrosis-like morphology, highest mAPFS (4.75, 4.09-5.71), highest hydroxyproline (5.57?0.55) mg/L and highest ratio of IL-4 to IFN-? (70.7?59.9) among the four study groups (P

Objective To screen and analyze nucleotide variants in 5'-untranslated region(5'-UTR)in voltage-gated sodium channel α1-subunit gene(SCN1A)in patients with Dravet syndrome and to evaluate the association of the variants with disease.Methods Peripheral blood of 24 patients with Dravet syndrome and 100 unrelated normal persons were collected and genomic DNA was extracted.PCR-sequencing of SCN1 A 5'-UTR in these DNA was performed.To evaluate the possibility of mutation inducing disease,bioinformatics analysis was applied to analyze the conservation of the sequences around the mutation site and predict the potential transcription elements.Results The nucleotide variant of 166.642.520G→A in exon 2 was identified in two patients,but not in normal controls.The mutation was a de novo mutation in a patient with early-onset.In the second proband,the mutation was also carried by his clinically asymptomatic mother.The nucleotide site 166.642.520 was moderately conserved in mammals(62.5%).The average nucleotide identity rate between human and other mammals species in the region adjacent to 166.642.520 was 88.5%.Two potential transcription regulatory elements were predicted on the sequence with the mutation of 166.642.520G>A,and only one on the sequence with wild-type.Conclusions The mutation 166.642.520G>A may be associated with Dravet syndrome and further studied should be performed to verify it and demonstrate its pathogenic mechanisms.
