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.

The liver regenerative capacity is crucial for patients with end-stage liver disease following partial hepatectomy (PHx). The specific bacteria and mechanisms regulating liver regeneration post-PHx remain unclear. This study demonstrated dynamic changes in the abundance of Parabacteroides distasonis (P. distasonis) post-PHx, correlating with hepatocyte proliferation. Treatment with live P. distasonis significantly promoted hepatocyte proliferation and liver regeneration after PHx. Targeted metabolomics revealed a significant positive correlation between P. distasonis and β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB), as well as hyodeoxycholic acid and 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid in the gut after PHx. Notably, treatment with BHB, but not hyodeoxycholic acid or 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, significantly promoted hepatocyte proliferation and liver regeneration in mice after PHx. Moreover, STAT3 inhibitor Stattic attenuated the promotive effects of BHB on cell proliferation and liver regeneration both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, P. distasonis upregulated the expression of fatty acid oxidation-related proteins, and increased BHB levels in the liver, and then BHB activated the STAT3 signaling pathway to promote liver regeneration. This study, for the first time, identifies the involvement of P. distasonis and its associated metabolite BHB in promoting liver regeneration after PHx, providing new insights for considering P. distasonis and BHB as potential strategies for promoting hepatic regeneration.

With the development of clinical related disciplines, the update and establishment of relevant standards/guidelines at home and abroad, GBZ 185-2006 Diagnostic Criteria for Occupational Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene (hereinafter referred to as “GBZ 185-2006”) was unable to meet clinical needs. Therefore, the GBZ 185-2006 was revised based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, in accordance with relevant laws/regulations and relevant standards/guidelines in combination with review of research data on occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) home and abroad, and the development of clinical practice and clinical related disciplines. The main modifications include: adding terms and definitions of OMDT, modifying the description of clinical manifestations of the diagnostic principles, adjusting the description of latency, deleting the diagnostic requirement of the incidence probability, adding the specific allergen patch test as the etiological diagnostic index, standardizing the application scope, operating procedure and precautions of the specific allergen patch test. In addition, the relevant content of “Basic Characteristics and Clinical Types of Skin Damage of Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene” in Appendix A is improved, the treatment principles are revised, and the content of new progress in treatment, artificial liver application, are added. The revised GBZ 185-2024 Diagnostic Standard for Occupational Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene is more scientific and practical, and can provide technical basis for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of OMDT in medical and health institutions.

【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.
