Objective:
To systematically evaluate the detection rate of prenatal depression in Chinese women, so as to provide the reference for mental health care during pregnancy among women.
Methods:
Publications pertaining to the detection rate of prenatal depression in Chinese women were retrieved from international and national databases from inception to July 30, 2023, including CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed and other databases. The Stata 17.0 software was used for meta analysis, sensitivity analysis was performed using the leave-one-out method, and the publication bias was evaluated using funnel plot and Egger's test.
Results:
A total of 5 687 publications were retrieved, and 60 studies were finally included, with 58 in Chinese and 2 in English, 51 of medium quality and 9 of high quality, and 114 168 participants. The results of meta-analysis showed that the overall detection rate of prenatal depression in Chinese women was 23.7% (95%CI: 20.0%-27.5%). The detection rates of prenatal depression in the first, second and third trimesters were 22.1% (95%CI: 15.5%-28.6%), 16.3% (95%CI: 12.0%-20.6%) and 19.9% (95%CI: 16.0%-23.7%), in Eastern and Midwestern China were 19.7% and 27.5%, and in women with an education level of junior high school or below and high school or above were 27.2% and 17.9%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Sensitivity analysis showed that the study results were stable. There were publication bias in the results of overall detection rate of prenatal depression, and detection rates in the second and third trimester.
Conclusions
The overall detection rate of prenatal depression in Chinese women ranges from 20.0% to 27.5%. There are differences in the detection rate of prenatal depression in different pregnancies, with the highest detection rate in the first trimester.

Objective:To summarize the results of surgical treatment for complete atrioventricular septal defect(CAVSD) in early and middle stages.Methods:147 children with CAVSD in Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center from January 2010 to December 2019 were selected, Males 85, females 62, median age of surgery 5 months(1 months-10 years old), median body mass 5.5 kg(2.4-20.9 kg). Complete atrioventricular septal defect was diagnosed by ultrasonic cardiogram before surgery. All the children underwent atrial ventricular valve formation and underwent simultaneous repair.Outpatient follow-up was planned.Ultrasonic cardiogram and electrocardiogram were performed. SPSS 22 statistical software was used for data analysis.Results:All 147 CAVSD patients underwent one-time surgical correction.Early postoperative death occurred in 7 cases(4.76%). The causes of death were: 3 cases of pulmonary hypertension crisis, 3 cases of severe mitral insufficiency(MI), 1 case of postoperative malignant arrhythmia, and the rest of the children were cured and discharged. Permanent pacemaker was installed in 3 patients due to atrioventricular block(AVB). The follow-up time was 1-10 years old, and 2 patients died in late stage: 1 patient did not seek medical treatment in time due to infection, and 1 patient had unknown cause. Five patients underwent secondary surgery: 4 due to severe mitral/tricuspid insufficiency(MI/TI) and 1 due to delayed AVB. The mid-term follow-up showed 9 cases of severe MI and 4 cases of severe TI. Compared with children with surgical age<3 months and ≥3 months, there were statistically significant differences in postoperative ventilator-assisted ventilation time, severe MI before postoperative discharge and total mortality between the two groups( P<0.05). Mid-term follow-up results showed no difference between the two groups. There were statistically significant differences in surgical age, postoperative CICU stay time and total hospital stay between the children with trisomy 21-syndrome and those without trisomy 21-syndrome( P<0.05), and there was no difference between the two groups in mid-term follow-up results. Residual shunt of 1-3 mm VSD was found in 29 cases, 26 cases were closed during follow-up, and 3 cases had smaller residual shunt. Conclusion:Modified single patch technique treatment of CAVSD has good effect, low mortality and low re-operation rate. But age <3 months group, infant mortality was significantly increased, the duration of postoperative mechanical assisted ventilation was prolonged, and the proportion of early postoperative severe MI was high.Severe MI and TI is easy to occur after CAVSD, which requires long-term follow-up and timely treatment. The children with trisomy 21-syndrome were similar to those with normal chromosome except for longer stay in ICU and total hospital stay.

Objective:To systematically review qualitative research on maternal participation in skin-to-skin contact experience during cesarean delivery, the promotion of skin-to-skin contact in cesarean section.Methods:We searched databases including the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Ebsco, SinoMed, Wan Fang, CNKI, VIP. All of the qualitative research on the real experience of skin-to-skin contact from the participation of caesarean section women were collected. The search time limit was from the establishment of the databases to May 2022. The JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies from Australia was used to evaluate the methodology quality of the included research, and the meta-aggregation was used to conduct the synthesis.Results:Totally 11 qualified studies were included and integrated into 49 valuable findings. Similar results were summarized into 12 groups, and 4 integrated results were synthesized, including the needs of cesarean section mothers; positive experience after skin-to-skin contact in caesarean section; skin-to-skin contact practice strengthen the role of mothers and promotes breastfeeding; difficulties and challenges of skin-to-skin contact during cesarean section.Conclusions:Skin-to-skin contact positively affects mother and infant delivered by cesarean section. Medical staff need to pay attention to the feelings and needs of cesarean section women participating in skin-to-skin contact, optimize information, environment, and humanistic support, and improve skin-to-skin contact practices. Medical institutions should rationally allocate obstetric resources to alleviate the difficulties faced by skin-to-skin contact practices.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of gut microbiota in the preoperative, short-term postoperative and long-term postoperative period at (15.61±4.51) months in children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) of congenital heart disease (CHD) treated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods:A prospective study was conducted.In Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center, 13 patients with VSD who were scheduled for CPB and additional 10 age- and gender-matched healthy infants as pre-CPB control group from January 2021 to January 2022 were enrolled.Fecal samples were collected at pre- and early post-CPB.Meanwhile, 18 gender- and CHD diagnosis and operation-matched patients at (15.61±4.51) months after CPB and 8 healthy age- and gender-matched children as long-term control group after CPB were also enrolled, and fecal samples were collected.16S rRNA sequencing of fecal samples from all subjects were performed and comparing the differences in gut microbiota between two groups via comparing alpha and beta diversity, parameter test or nonparametric test, and LEfSe analysis.Results:Compared with those of pre-CPB control group, there was a significant difference in the composition of gut microbiota in the preoperative period of VSD children, with significantly increased abundances of Enterobacteriaceae and Shigella, and decreased abundance of Bifidobacterium (all P<0.05). The diversity of gut microbiota was comparable in VSD children before CPB and in the short period time after CPB (all P>0.05), except for the abundances of Clostridium and Streptococcus (all P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the relative abundances of other highly abundant gut bacteria between the two periods (all P>0.05). Compared with that in VSD children in the short period time after CPB, the abundances of short-chain fatty acids-producing microbes were significantly higher at (15.61±4.51) months postoperatively (all P<0.05), and the gut bacteria profile was similar to that of the long-term control group after CPB (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Gut microbiota imbalance exists in VSD children before CPB.The gut microbiota profile is not influenced by CPB, which returns normal at (15.61±4.51) months postoperatively.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pharmacological components and mechanism of Qingre huoxue decoction in improving myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MIRI). METHODS Forty-two rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (normal saline), model group (normal saline), Qingre huoxue decoction low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (4.94, 9.88, 19.79 g/kg),Qingre huoxue decoction drug-containing serum group (19.79 g/kg) and blank serum group (normal saline), with 6 rats in each group. Each group was given corresponding drug/normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 2 weeks. Twelve hours after last administration, except for serum groups, MIRI model was induced in other groups (only threading without ligation in sham operation group). After modeling, cardiac histopathology was observed and apoptosis level was detected. UPLC-MS was used to analyze the samples in Qingre huoxue decoction drug-containing serum group and blank serum group. The main pharmacological components were screened with the help of relevant databases. Multivariate statistical methods were used to analyze the differential metabolites and related metabolic pathways. Validation test was performed based on oxidative stress indicators. RESULTS Qingre huoxue decoction could improve the pathological injury of cardiac tissue and decrease apoptosis rate of cardiac cells in MIRI model rats (P<0.05). Qingre huoxue decoction drug-containing serum contained 20 main pharmacological components such as baicalin, succinic acid, baicalein, cryptotanshinone, isoferulic acid, protocatechuic aldehyde. Qingre huoxue decoction could significantly up-regulate the levels of 15 metabolites including L-arginine, L-arginine, citric acid, glutathione, β-D- glucose and L-carnitine, and down-regulated the levels of 14 metabolites including arachidonic acid, 3-phosphate-d-glycerol phosphate, linoleic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine (P<0.05). These metabolites were mainly involved in energy metabolism, inflammatory injury, oxidative stress and autophagy. Results of validation tests showed that Qingre huoxue decoction could significantly reduce the levels of malondialdehyde, and increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (except for low-dose group) and glutathione peroxidase significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Qingre huoxue decoction can improve the injury of cardiac tissue in MIRI model rats. Its pharmacological components include baicalin, cryptotanshinone, isoferulic acid, protocatechualdehyde, etc. Furthermore, it may play a protective role in MIRI by improving myocardial energy metabolism, down-regulating oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammation infiltration.

Objective:To summarize the early and middle terms of the revascularization of remnant pulmonary artery in unilateral absent intrapericardial pulmonary artery.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 14 patients(7 males and 7 females) with unilateral absent pulmonary artery, in which 10 were right and 4 were left, the median age at surgery was 5 months. The patients received operation from January 2009 to December 2020. 14 patients, 2 cases associated with tetralogy of Fallot, and 1 case with aortopulmonary window. The diagnosis was made by enhanced CT scan or pulmonary vein wedge angiography. The median diameter of the affected hilar pulmonary artery remnants was(3.20±0.94)mm, and the Z value was -3.92±1.64. All the patients received single-stage revascularization: group A: tube graft interposition in 3 patients, autologous pericardial roll in 5; group B: direct anastomosis in 2, unifocalization in one and main pulmonary artery flap angioplasty in the rest 3.Results:No hospital death occurred. There were no difference finds in the age and weight at operation, the cardiopulmonary bypass time, the mechanical ventilation time, and the length of intensive care unit stay between the two groups. All the patients took aspirin for anticoagulation for 6 months after the operation. The follow-up period was 1 month to 68 months. Because the neo-PA stenosis at the anastomosis was found in one patient in group B, transcatheter balloon angioplasty was performed at 41 months after surgery. Nonetheless, the results were encouraging, symptoms have improved in all patients. The diameter and Z value of the latest ipsilateral pulmonary artery was(6.25±0.99)mm and -2.34±1.18 respectively, significantly improved when compared to the preoperative value. Residual pulmonary artery hypertension was not found. The Z value of the affected side of the pulmonary artery in group B was significantly improved than that in group A.Conclusion:Early and aggressive pulmonary artery revascularization is effective at restoring normal antegrade flow to the affected lung, resulting in improved diameter of the PA, and UAPA patient’s symptoms. The use of autologous pulmonary artery tissue angioplasty may reach a more satisfying result. However, transcatheter intervention may diminish the new pulmonary artery stenosis temporarily, reoperation is still needed in the long-term follow-up.
