Objective:
To analyze the current status and influencing factors of postpartum depression symptoms among elderly multipara, so as to provide a basis for health management among elderly pregnant women.
Methods:
Multipara aged ≥35 years who underwent 42-day postpartum check-ups in Hangzhou Gynecology and Gynecology Hospital from October 2023 to October 2024 were selected as survey subjects using convenience sampling method. Demographic information, sleep quality and feeding methods data were collected using questionnaires. The postpartum depressive symptoms, parenting stress, and social support levels were assessed using the Chinese version of the Simplified Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Parenting Stress Inventory-Short Form, and Perceived Social Support Scale, respectively. Factors affecting postpartum depression symptoms among elderly multipara were analyzed through multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 355 elderly multipara were surveyed. The average age was (38.19±2.10) years. There were 228 cesarean deliveries (64.23%) in this pregnancy. There were 21 cases (5.92%) of unplanned pregnancy and 21 cases (5.92%) of preterm birth. The parenting stress score was (72.56±11.08) points, and the social support score was (60.42±8.50) points. Postpartum depression symptoms was detected in 106 elderly multipara, with a detection rate of 29.86%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that monthly household income per capita (≥5 000 yuan, OR=0.470, 95%CI: 0.281-0.785), unplanned pregnancy (yes, OR=2.619, 95%CI: 1.427-4.809), preterm delivery (yes,OR=4.105, 95%CI: 1.848-9.113), poor sleep quality (yes, OR=3.556, 95%CI: 1.659-7.595), feeding methods (mixed feeding, OR=1.483, 95%CI: 1.030-2.135; artificial feeding, OR=4.510, 95%CI: 2.018-10.070), parenting stress (OR=1.206, 95%CI: 1.162-1.441), and social support (OR=0.255, 95%CI: 0.111-0.420) were factors affecting postpartum depression symptoms among elderly multipara.
Conclusion
The detection rate of postpartum depression symptoms among elderly multiparas is relatively high, is associated with family economic status, pregnancy planning status, preterm delivery, sleep quality, feeding methods, parenting stress, and social support levels.

Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of protein A immunoadsorption (PAIA) combined with rituximab (RTX) in highly sensitized patients who underwent haplo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) .Methods:The clinical data of 56 highly sensitized patients treated with PAIA and RTX before haplo-HSCT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Soochow Hopes Hematonosis Hospital between March 2021 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The number of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibody types and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), humoral immunity, adverse reactions during adsorption, and survival within 100 days before and after adsorption were measured.Results:After receiving the PAIA treatment, the median MFI of patients containing only HLA Ⅰ antibodies decreased from 7 859 (3 209-12 444) to 3 719 (0-8 275) ( P<0.001), and the median MFI of HLA Ⅰ+Ⅱ antibodies decreased from 5 476 (1 977-12 382) to 3 714 (0-11 074) ( P=0.035). The median MFI of patients with positive anti-donor-specific antibodies decreased from 8 779 (2 697-18 659) to 4 524 (0–15 989) ( P<0.001). The number of HLA-A, B, C, DR, and DQ antibodies in all patients decreased after the PAIA treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (A, B, C, DR: P<0.001, DQ: P<0.01). The humoral immune monitoring before and after the PAIA treatment showed a significant decrease in the number of IgG and complement C3 ( P<0.001 and P=0.002, respectively). Forty-four patients underwent HLA antibody monitoring after transplantation, and the overall MFI and number of antibody types decreased. However, five patients developed new antibodies with low MFI, and nine patients continued to have high MFI. The overall survival, disease-free survival, non-recurrent mortality, and cumulative recurrence rates at 100 days post-transplantation were 83.8%, 80.2%, 16.1%, and 4.5%, respectively. Conclusions:The combination of PAIA and RTX has a certain therapeutic effect and good safety in the desensitization treatment of highly sensitive patients before haplo-HSCT.

【Objective】 To explore the effectiveness of using donor plasma reinfusion to flush the leukoreduction system (LRS) chamber during the final reinfusion phase with the Trima Accel automated blood collection system in preventing the reduction of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. 【Methods】 A longitudinal and cross-sectional study was designed. CD4+ count<200 cells/μL and CD8+ count<125 cells/μL were considered as the criteria for deficiency. Eighteen first-time platelet donors were followed up. The lymphocyte count was measured at 0, 3-6 and 7-14 times of blood donation in the last 300 days. 170 healthy blood donors who have not donated blood were selected as the control group. According to the cut-off point(October 2021), 88 blood donors who mainly used automatic blood collection system to donate platelet apheresis in the last 365 days(median blood donation times ≥17.5)were divided into three groups(A, B and C)and blood samples were obtained. The time for Groups A, B and C started donating platelet apheresis were as follows: Group A: before October 2019, Group B: from October 2019 to September 2021, Group C: after October 2021. Blood samples were analyzed to obtain blood counts including CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes. Blood samples were analyzed to obtain blood cell counts including CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. Through a comparative analysis, this study aimed to determine if there are any statistical differences in the detection indices between the follow-up groups with varying frequencies of blood donation, the control group, and groups A, B, and C. This approach was employed to infer the efficacy of donor plasma reinfusion in flushing the leukoreduction system (LRS) chamber for preventing the decline of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. 【Results】 Eighteen first-time blood donors who were converted to regular platelet apheresis donors did not show a decrease of CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes in the 5 th and 11 th blood donation (median number of blood donation), and there was no significant difference between the above indexes and those in the 0 th blood donation. Among the previous frequent blood donors, the CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte counts in Group B and Group C are both higher than the standard value, showing no statistical difference from the control group. Among regular blood donors, the CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte counts in groups B and C were higher than the criteria values, and had no statistical difference compared to the control group.The CD4+ T lymphocyte count in Group A was normal, with only one donor in Group A having a CD8+ T lymphocyte count below 125 cells/μL. This donor has donated 281 times of platelet apheresis, and the group he belongs to has started blood donation 2-21 years(median of 5 years) before the adjustment of reinfusion mode. The CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte counts in Group A showed significant differences compared to the control group, with median counts (Group A/Control Group) of 359/521 and 257/372, respectively, P<0.001. In Group A, 0%(0/35) had a CD4+ count below 200 cells/μL, and 2.85%(1/35) of donors had a CD8+ count below 125 cells/μL, which was far lower than the proportion of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell deficiency found in regular apheresis donors by John M. Gansner and Mahboubeh Rahmani. The study showed that the adjustment of the plasma reinfusion mode did not further reduce the T lymphocyte counts in blood donors, but instead further restored the T lymphocyte counts in regular blood donors. This indicated that after the adjustment of plasma reinfusion mode, blood donors might not have lost CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes during blood donation, or only lost a small amount, and can recover even if they donate platelet apheresis frequently. 【Conclusion】 Trima Accel automated blood collection system has a good effect on preventing CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes from being reduced by flushing the LRS chamber with donor plasma.

The clinical practice guidelines of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have problems such as limited clinical application and unclear implementation effects, which may be related to the lack of clinical practice evidence. To provide reliable and precise evidence for clinical practice, this article proposes a model of combining TCM guidelines with real-world study, which includes 4 steps. Firstly, during the implementation process of the guidelines, a high-quality research database is established. Secondly, the recommendations in the guidelines are evaluated based on the established database in multiple dimensions, including applicability, effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness, and thus their effectiveness in practical applications can be determined. Thirdly, based on the established database, core prescriptions are identified, and the targeted populations and medication plans are determined. That is, the best treatment regimen is established based on the analysis of abundant clinical data regarding the effects of different medication frequencies, dosages, and duration on efficacy. Fourthly, the guidelines are updated according to the real-world evidence. The research based on this model can provide real-world evidence for ancient and empirical prescriptions, improving their application in clinical practice. Moreover, this model can reduce research costs and improve research efficiency. When applying this model, researchers need to pay attention to the quality of real-world evidence, ensuring that it can truly reflect the situation in clinical practice. In addition, importance should be attached to the clinical application of guideline recommendations, ensuring that doctors can conduct standardized diagnosis and treatment according to the guidelines. Finally, full-process participation of multidisciplinary experts is encouraged to ensure the comprehensiveness and scientificity of the study. In conclusion, the application of this model will contribute to the development of TCM guidelines responsive to the needs of clinical practice and achieve the goal of promoting the homogenization of TCM clinical diagnosis and treatment.
