Objective: To observe the anemia situation and pregnancy outcome of pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia ( IDA) treated with polysaccharide iron complex. Methods:Totally 102 patients with IDA were randomly divided into the control group (51 cases) and the study group (51 cases). The control group was treated with iron dextran tablets orally, and the study group re-ceived polysaccharide iron complex. The improvement of anemia and the pregnancy outcome were compared, and the adverse reactions were recorded. Results:After the treatment, hemoglobin ( Hb) , serum iron ( SI) , serum ferritin ( SF) and serum transferrin receptor ( sTfR) at 24-week pregnancy and before the delivery, the red cell count ( RBC) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin ( MCH) before the delivery in the study group were all better than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups was similar. Conclusion:Polysaccharide iron complex can improve anemia status of pregnant women with IDA, which is worthy of widely clinical use.

Objective:The benefits of postoperative adjuvant therapy method for low-risk early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma were investigated. Methods:A total of 133 patients with low-risk early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma were treated at Shandong Cancer Hospital&Institute from February 2008 to March 2012. All patients received adjuvant therapy:42 were treated with pelvic ra-diotherapy (RT), 47 were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy (CT)+intracavitary radiotherapy (ICRT), and 44 were treated with concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT). Disease-free survival (DFS) and complications of the therapy were evaluated. Results:No significant differences in DFS were observed in the patients treated with RT, CT+ICRT, and CCRT (P>0.05), and the three-year DFS rates were 94.0%, 93.4%, and 97.6%, respectively. The frequencies of grade III to IV acute toxicities were significantly higher in patients treated with CCRT (34.1%) than in those treated with RT (9.5%) or CT+ICRT (16.7%) (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed between the RT group and the CT+ICRT group (P>0.05). Grade I to II late toxicity was significantly more frequent in the CCRT (25%) and RT (19.0%) groups compared with the CT+ICRT group (4.3%) (P>0.05), but no statistically significant differences were observed between the CCRT and the RT groups (P>0.05). Conclusion:CT+ICRT or RT has a three-year DFS rate equivalent to CCRT but with fewer therapy com-plications for low-risk early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy of the intelligent robot-assisted fracture reduction system (RAFR) in the treatment of Tile-type C1-2 pelvic fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of the 15 patients who had been treated for Tile-type C pelvic fractures at Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between June 2022 and November 2023. The cohort were 7 males and 8 females, with an age of (51.6±22.1) years and a body mass index of (22.35±2.14) kg/m 2. According to the Tile classification, there were 9 cases of type C1 and 6 cases of type C2. The interval from injury to surgery was (11.3±3.9) days. Minimally invasive closed reduction and internal fixation of pelvic fractures were performed with the assistance of RAFR system. The anterior pelvic ring was fixed with percutaneous hollow screws from the pubic branch, and the posterior pelvic ring fixed with percutaneous hollow screws from the sacroiliac joint. If necessary, external fixation brackets and internal stent fixation technique for the anterior pelvic ring were used to enhance the stability of the pelvic ring. The frequency and time of intraoperative fluoroscopy, reduction time, surgical time, intraoperative bleeding volume, fracture reduction quality, follow-up time, fracture healing time, pelvic function recovery at the last follow-up, and incidence of complications were recorded. Results:With the assistance of RAFR system, 15 patients were all successfully treated with minimally invasive closed reduction and internal fixation for pelvic fractures. For this cohort, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency was 31 (20, 55) times, fluoroscopy time 25.8 (18.0, 33.0) seconds, reduction time (57.7±3.5) minutes, surgical time 205 (200, 210) minutes, intraoperative bleeding volume 100 (100, 200) mL, and residual displacement (7.55±3.51) mm. According to the Matta scoring, the postoperative quality of fracture reduction was evaluated as excellent in 4 cases, as good in 8 cases, and as fair in 3 cases. Fourteen patients were followed up for 15.0 (10.8, 18.0) months after surgery, and 1 patient was lost to the follow-up. The fracture healing time for the 14 patients was 3.6 (3.2, 4.7) months. The Majeed functional score at the last follow-up was (83.4±6.4) points, giving 4 excellent and 10 good cases.Conclusion:The RAFR system can facilitate precise and minimally invasive closed reduction for the majority of patients with Tile-type C1-2 pelvic fracture, achieving satisfactory fracture reduction quality and short-term efficacy.

Objective To simulate the biomechanical characteristics of pelvic-ligament-muscle during vaginal delivery and rest, and to explore the injury of levator ani muscles during vaginal delivery, pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. Methods The three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear finite element model of pelvis-ligament-muscle was established to calculate the stress and strain distributions and injury of levator ani muscles under different abdominal pressures and loads. The stress and strain distributions as well as damage of type I, Ⅱ, Ⅲ stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse were also calculated. Results The highest equivalent stresses of levator ani were 14, 29, 43, 86, 144, 230 kPa, respectively, when the abdominal pressure was 1 kPa under the load of 3, 5, 8 kPa and the abdominal pressure was 1.5 kPa under the load of 3, 5, 8 kPa. The stresses of type I, Ⅱ, Ⅲ stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse were 1.69, 1.01, 0.70, 1.58 MPa. Conclusions Vaginal delivery would result in the damage to the puborectalis and the middle of the pubococcipital muscle, which was consistent with the damage of the anal levator muscle with pelvic floor dysfunction. This study uses scientific method to find out the exact location of pelvic floor injury during vaginal delivery, which can provide references for clinicians to prevent pelvic floor disease and formulate post natal rehabilitation training.
