Objective To investigate the learning curve of real-life vaginal delivery,including its difficult steps and influencing factors,to optimize the future training of vaginal delivery for residents in department of obstetrics and gynecology.Methods From 25 Sep 2020 to 12 Mar 2022,OBGYN residents without previous experiences in vaginal delivery were prospectively enrolled in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University.Residents performed normal vaginal delivery under the supervision of senior obstetricians and midwives.The performance score(PS)of vaginal delivery and its 9 steps were evaluated via a questionnaire fulfilled by the supervisor once each delivery was finished.Logistic regression models were performed for univariate and multivariate analyses to evaluate the factors that might be correlated with the PS.Results Eventually,233 deliveries performed by 60 residents were analyzed.Results showed that more than 10 deliveries were needed for 70%of residents to obtain minimal competence of vaginal delivery.Perineal protection,delivery of the fetal head,delivery of the fetal shoulders and repair of episiotomy or laceration were found to be the most difficult steps,which required more practices to achieve minimal competence level.Univariate analyses showed the delivery experience,the times of observation/simulation/training,and humanistic care skills might influence the total PS(P<0.05).However,only delivery experience(OR=1.43,95%CI:1.22-1.67)and the times of observation(OR=1.02,95%CI:1.00-1.04)were found to be independently correlated with the total PS in multivariate analyses.Conclusion More than 10 real-life practices were required to achieve the minimal competence of normal vaginal delivery.Enhancing the training on the four difficult steps of vaginal delivery might improve the learning efficiency when delivery opportunities are limited.

Objective To investigate the one-year postpartum weight retention for patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and analyze its related influencing factors,so as to improve the postpartum weight retention.Methods GDM women who were diagnosed and gave birth at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University from Oct 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the research subjects.The GDM postpartum weight status survey questionnaire was used to conduct a survey of one-year postpartum weight retention status and analyze relevant influencing factors.Results A total of 150 GDM postpartum women were included,with a weight retention rate of 46.7%one year after delivery,including a high weight retention rate of 25.3%.The follow-up rate of postpartum glucose tolerance was 36.0%,and the influencing factors of postpartum weight retention were excessive gestational weight gain(OR=2.883,95%CI:1.226-6.779)and the presence of dietary risk(OR=4.604,95%CI:1.065-19.903).Conclusion The one-year postpartum weight retention after GDM is relatively high.The possible influencing factors are excessive weight gain during pregnancy and dietary risk after delivery.Attention should be paid to the weight and healthy diet management of GDM during pregnancy and postpartum from multiple dimensions.
7.Research advances and clinical applications of echocardiographic assessment of pulmonary hypertension in valvular interventions
Fudan University Journal of Medical Sciences 2025;52(4):566-571
Transthoracic echocardiography(TTE)is the preferred noninvasive modality for screening and diagnosing pulmonary hypertension(PH).By measuring parameters such as tricuspid regurgitation velocity(TRV),TTE can estimate pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PASP)and evaluate right heart function.TTE plays a critical role in the early screening,risk stratification,and prognostic assessment of PH,particularly in large-scale epidemiological studies.Furthermore,in percutaneous valvular interventions(e.g.,transcatheter aortic valve replacement,mitral valve edge-to-edge repair),TTE provides essential hemodynamic data for patient selection,intraoperative decision-making,and postoperative follow-up.This review summarizes recent advances in TTE for PH evaluation and its application in valvular interventions in order to support clinical practice.

p120-catenin(p120ctn)is one of the crucial members of armadillo family,which is well known as a core stabilizing factor for vascular endothelial cadherin(VE-cadherin).Throughout the entire process of vascular development,p120ctn plays multiple roles.From neovascularization to endothelial barrier,the presence of p120ctn is indispensable.It participates in regulating the normal development of vertebrate embryo vasculature and promoting endothelial cell proliferation.Additionally,p120ctn contributes to the maintenance and remodeling of adherens junctions and can modulate adhesion strength by altering cell morphology.This review summarized the latest research progress on p120ctn from neovascular development and endothelial barrier function.
9.Research progress on breast milk improving brain damage and neurodevelopment in preterm infants
Fudan University Journal of Medical Sciences 2025;52(4):589-595
With the continuous development of perinatal medicine and neonatology,although the survival rate of infants with low gestational age and low birth weight has improved,the incidence of neurodevelopmental morbidities remains high.Breast milk is the preferred source of enteral nutrition for preterm infants,playing an important role in growth,development,immunity,metabolism,and other functions.Of particular note is its effect on the nervous system,not only promoting brain development and maturation in preterm infants,but also effectively reducing the incidence and severity of brain injury,thereby improving long-term neurological outcomes.This review aims to explore the effects of breast milk on brain injury and repair,brain structural maturation,and neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants,in order to further enhance the understanding of the importance of breast milk for the neurodevelopment of preterm infants.
