RESUMO

Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is a prominent freshwater species with significant economic value in China, while disease poses a major hindrance to the advancement of mandarin fish aquaculture. To date, the understanding of the prevention and management of bacterial disease in mandarin fish remains incomplete. Therefore, there is a need for more comprehensive insights into the preventive and curative strategies to address these bacterial infections. In this review, we summarize the information pertaining to the predominant bacterial pathogens such as Aeromonas spp., Flavobacterium columnare, Edwardsiella tarda, Streptococcus uberis and Vibrio cholerae in the mandarin fish aquaculture, and point out the current strategies for diagnosis and combating these bacterial pathogens, as well as deliberate on the prospective alternative treatments such as vaccines, herbal remedies, and phage therapy for the prevention and control of these bacterial diseases. Furthermore, we also highlights the importance to implement an integrated bacterial disease management (IBDM) approach for the prevention and control of these pathogenic bacteria in aquaculture.

RESUMO

The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is native to North America and has now become a crucial economic species in aquaculture. With the rapid development of high-density intensive farming models, the continuous emergence and spread of diseases pose significant challenges to the sustainable development of largemouth bass aquaculture, including Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV), largemouth bass virus (LMBV), Nocardia spp. and Aeromonas spp. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research progress on common diseases of largemouth bass, including pathogen isolation and identification, pathological characteristics, morphological features, epidemiological characteristics, pathogen-host interactions, detection and diagnosis, vaccines, and other control technologies. This information will enhance a more comprehensive understanding of the occurrence of diseases in largemouth bass, and provide insights into future research directions, facilitating more effective disease prevention and control. The collaborative progress among rapid detection technology, the interaction mechanism between pathogen and host, and prevention and control techniques will be the curial to achieving green prevention and control of largemouth bass disease and healthy aquaculture in future.

RESUMO

Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) has emerged as a significant economic fish species, with a rise in Aeromonas veronii infections in farming. However, research on adjuvants for vaccines against A. veronii in largemouth bass remains scarce. In present study, recombinant largemouth bass IL-1ß (LbIL-1ß) was expressed to explore its adjuvant effect on the A. veronii inactivated vaccine. Following vaccination with recombinant LbIL-1ß (rLbIL-1ß) and the inactivated A. veronii, higher serum SOD levels and lysozyme activities were observed in largemouth bass from inactivated A. veronii + rLbIL-1ß vaccinated group. Furthermore, it was discovered that rLbIL-1ß was able to boost the serum-specific antibody levels induced by the inactivated A. veronii. The qRT-PCR analysis revealed that rLbIL-1ß also enhanced the expression of IgM, CD4, and MHC II in largemouth bass triggered by the inactivated A. veronii. After challenged with live A. veronii, the outcomes demonstrated that the relative percentage survival (RPS) for largemouth bass resulting from the inactivated A. veronii in combination with rLbIL-1ß was 76.67 %, surpassing the RPS of 60 % in the inactivated A. veronii group. Collectively, these findings indicate that rLbIL-1ß enhances the protective effect of the A. veronii inactivated vaccine on largemouth bass, showcasing potential as an adjuvant for further development.

RESUMO

C-type lectins in organisms play an important role in the process of innate immunity. In this study, a C-type lectin belonging to the DC-SIGN class of Micropterus salmoides was identified. MsDC-SIGN is classified as a type II transmembrane protein. The extracellular segment of MsDC-SIGN possesses a coiled-coil region and a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). The key amino acid motifs of the extracellular CRD of MsDC-SIGN in Ca2+-binding site 2 were EPN (Glu-Pro-Asn) and WYD (Trp-Tyr-Asp). MsDC-SIGN-CRD can bind to four pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), glucan, peptidoglycan (PGN), and mannan. Moreover, it can also bind to Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi. Its CRD can agglutinate microbes and displays D-mannose and D-galactose binding specificity. MsDC-SIGN was distributed in seven tissues of the largemouth bass, among which the highest expression was observed in the liver, followed by the spleen and intestine. Additionally, MsDC-SIGN was present on the membrane of M. salmoides leukocytes, thereby augmenting the phagocytic activity against bacteria. In a subsequent investigation, the expression patterns of the MsDC-SIGN gene and key genes associated with the TLR signaling pathway (TLR4, NF-κB, and IL10) exhibited an up-regulated expression response to the stimulation of Aeromonas hydrophila. Furthermore, through RNA interference of MsDC-SIGN, the expression level of the DC-SIGN signaling pathway-related gene (RAF1) and key genes associated with the TLR signaling pathway (TLR4, NF-κB, and IL10) was decreased. Therefore, MsDC-SIGN plays a pivotal role in the immune defense against A. hydrophila by modulating the TLR signaling pathway.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor myofascial pain is one of the pelvic floor dysfunction diseases disturbing women after delivery. There is a lack of objective standardization for the diagnosis of pelvic floor myofascial pain due to the various symptoms and the dependence on the palpating evaluation. Ultrasound imaging has the advantages of safety, simplicity, economy and high resolution, which makes it an ideal tool for the assistant diagnosis of pelvic floor myofascial pain and evaluation after treatment. METHODS: This is a retrospective case-control study including women accepting evaluation of pelvic floor function at 6 weeks to 1 year postpartum. They were divided into pelvic floor myofascial pain group and normal control group. A BCL 10-5 biplane transducer was applied to observed their puborectalis. The length, minimum width, area, deficiency, deficiency length, deficiency width, deficiency area, rate of deficiency area, local thickening,angle between the tendinous arch of levator ani muscle and puborectalis of corresponding puborectalis in different groups were observed and measured. RESULTS: A total of 220 postpartum women participated in the study, with 77 in the pelvic floor myofascial pain group and 143 in the normal control group. The Intraclass correlation coefficient value was over 0.750, and Kappa ranged from 0.600 to 0.800. puborectalis deficiency (adjusted odds ratio = 11.625, 95% confidence interval = 4.557-29.658) and focal thickening (adjusted odds ratio = 16.891, 95% confidence interval = 1.819-156.805) were significantly associated with higher odds of having postpartum pelvic floor myofascial pain. Grayscale or the angle between the arch tendineus levator ani and puborectalis measurements on the pain side tended to be smaller than on the non-pain side in patients with unilateral puborectalis or iliococcygeus pain (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that transvaginal ultrasound was a potentially efficient technique for evaluating postpartum pelvic floor myofascial pain due to its ability to assess various sonographic characteristics of the levator ani muscles.

RESUMO

Galectins are lectins that bind to ß-galactose and are widely expressed in immune system tissues, playing pivotal roles in innate immunity through their conserved carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs). In this present investigation, a tandem-repeat galectin was discovered in the largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides (designated as MsGal-9). The open reading frame of MsGal-9 encodes two CRDs, each containing two consensus motifs that are essential for ligand binding. MsGal-9 is expressed in various tissues of the largemouth bass, with particularly high expression levels in the liver and spleen. The full-length form of MsGal-9, as well as the N-terminal (MsGal-9-N) and C-terminal (MsGal-9-C) CRDs, were individually recombined. Their ability for nonself recognition was studied. The three recombinant proteins were able to bind to glucan (GLU), peptidoglycan (PGN), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), with MsGal-9 displaying the highest binding activity. Furthermore, rMsGal-9-N exhibited higher binding activity towards GLU in comparison to rMsGal-9-C. Further investigations revealed that the full-length rMsGal-9 could significantly bind to Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi, while rMsGal-9-C specifically bound to Escherichia coli. However, rMsGal-9-N did not exhibit significant binding activity towards any microbes. These findings indicate that MsGal-9 requires both CRDs to cooperate in order to fulfill its nonself recognition function. All three recombinant proteins demonstrated agglutination activity towards various microbes, with MsGal-9 and MsGal-9-N displaying a similar broad binding spectrum, while MsGal-9-C agglutinated three types of bacteria. Moreover, both MsGal-9 and MsGal-9-N were capable of coagulating largemouth bass red blood cells, whereas MsGal-9-C lacked this ability. However, MsGal-9-C played a significant role in enhancing the encapsulation of leukocytes in comparison to MsGal-9-N. All three proteins acted as potential damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), inducing apoptosis in leukocytes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The albumin/fibrinogen ratio (AFR) is an independent predictor of clinical outcomes of some diseases; however, the prognostic value of AFR and the admission Hunt-Hess (HH) score is still unclear for patients with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). This study aimed to assess the relationship between the AFR-HH score and 6-month outcomes of aSAH patients. METHODS: The clinical characteristics of aSAH patients admitted to our department between December 2017 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The candidate risk factors were screened using univariate regression analysis, and the independence of the resultant risk factors was evaluated by binary logistic regression analysis. The predictive value of the combined AFR and HH score for unfavorable outcomes was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS: A total of 112 aSAH patients were included. Binary logistic regression analysis showed the perioperative period AFR, Glasgow coma scale score, and admission HH score were independent risk factors for unfavorable outcomes for aSAH patients. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed the predictive capacity of AFR plus the admission HH score outperformed the AFR, Glasgow coma scale score, and admission HH scale alone and the combination of the AFR and Glasgow coma scale score. CONCLUSIONS: A low AFR during the perioperative period is associated with unfavorable outcomes for aSAH patients at 6 months. The combination of the AFR and admission HH scale score provides superior predictive capacity to either the AFR or HH scale score alone.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Postpartum diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) influences women's appearance and health. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can affect the structure of the rectus abdominis muscles. However, the relationship between GDM and postpartum DRA is unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between GDM and postpartum DRA. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 241 women in the first year postdelivery. Women with GDM were matched with those without GDM using propensity score matching. They underwent an oral glucose tolerance test during pregnancy and a random blood glucose test before delivery. At follow-up, DRA was diagnosed by palpation, and interrectus distance was measured using ultrasound to evaluate the severity of DRA. The strength of the rectus abdominis was evaluated using the manual muscle testing method. RESULTS: Among the 241 participants, 174 (72.2%) had postpartum DRA, and 46 women with GDM were matched with 46 women without GDM on the basis of propensity scores. Women with GDM had higher odds of experiencing postpartum DRA (adjusted odds ratio = 4.792; 95% CI = 1.672 to 13.736) and larger interrectus distance values at the upper part of the rectus abdominis than those without GDM. There was a weak and positive correlation between the fasting oral glucose tolerance test level and the interrectus distance values (0.267 ≤ r ≤ 0.367). CONCLUSION: GDM was associated with postpartum DRA in women in the first year of delivery. Women with GDM had larger interrectus distance values at the upper part of the rectus abdominis than those without GDM. The fasting oral glucose tolerance test level showed a positive and weak correlation with the severity of postpartum DRA. IMPACT: Women with GDM have higher odds of experiencing postpartum DRA than those without GDM. The upper part of the rectus abdominis deserves increased focus during and after rehabilitation. Controlling the fasting oral glucose tolerance test level may help reduce the severity of postpartum DRA.

RESUMO

Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is an important economic freshwater aquaculture fish originating from North America. However, the frequent outbreaks of Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) have seriously limited the healthy development of Micropterus salmoides farming industry. In the present study, a strain of MSRV was isolated and identified from infected largemouth bass by PCR, transmission electron micrograph observation and genome sequences analysis, and tentatively named MSRV-HZ01 strain. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the MSRV-HZ01 presented the highest similarity to MSRV-2021, followed by MSRV-FJ985 and MSRV-YH01. The various tissues of juvenile largemouth bass exhibited significant pathological damage following MSRV-HZ01 immersion infection, and the mortality reached 90%. We also found that intestine was the key organ for MSRV to enter the fish body initially by dynamic analysis of viral infection, and the head kidney was the susceptible tissue of virus. Moreover, the MSRV was also transferred to the external mucosal tissue in later stage of viral infection to achieve horizontal transmission. In addition, the genes of IFN γ and IFN I-C were significantly up-regulated after MSRV infection to exert antiviral functions. The genes of cGAS and Sting might play an important role in the regulation of interferon expression. In conclusion, we investigated the virus infection dynamics and fish response following MSRV immersion infection, which would promote our understanding of the interaction between MSRV and largemouth bass under natural infection.

RESUMO

Peptidoglycan (PGN) recognition proteins (PGRPs) are important immune factors in innate immunity that function in recognising pathogens and activating the immune system. These ubiquitous proteins are conserved in invertebrates and vertebrates. In this study, a PGRP gene (MsPGRP) from largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) was identified and characterised, and its transcription distribution was explored. Recombinant protein (rMsPGRP) exhibited dose-dependent binding to PGN and glucan (GLU), but weak binding to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). MsPGRP exhibited agglutinating activity against several Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, and it promoted phagocytosis activity of leukocytes against Micrococcus luteus and Aeromonas hydrophila. The protein also possessed amidase activity in the presence of Zn2+, degraded PGN, and disrupted the M. luteus cell wall. The results suggest that MsPGRP plays an important role in pathogen recognition, and acts as a opsonin during immune system responses and elimination of invading pathogens.

RESUMO

A 28 day feeding trial was conducted to investigate the growth performance, immune response and intestinal microbiota of laminarin (LAM) supplemented diets in juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Four hundred and eighty fish (initial average weight: 0.72 ± 0.04 g) were randomly divided into four groups (40 fish per tank with three replicates in each group) Four diets were prepared with LAM supplementation at the doses of 0 (control), 5 g Kg-1 (LL), 10 g Kg-1 (ML) and 15 g Kg-1 (HL), respectively. No significant difference in the specific growth rate (SGR) and hepatosomatic index (HSI) was observed in fish among the four groups, or in the lipid and ash content of fish flesh. In addition, fish in the LL group exhibited much higher antioxidant capacity (p < 0.05), while the diets with the inclusion of 5 and 10 g Kg-1 LAM remarkably decreased the antioxidant capacity of fish (p > 0.05). Dietary LAM at the dose of 5 g Kg-1 inhibited the transcription of interleukin-1ß (il-1ß) and tumor necrosis factor-α (tnf-α), while promoting the expression of transforming growth factor-ß (tgf-ß) in fish intestine. Moreover, the beneficial intestinal bacteria Bacteroide, Comamonas and Mycoplasma abundance significantly increased in fish from the LL group, while the content of opportunistic pathogens Plesiomonas, Aeromonas and Brevinema in fish of the HL group was substantially higher than the control group. Overall, the appropriate dose of supplemented LAM in the diet was 5 g Kg-1, while an excessive supplementation of LAM in the diet led to microbial community instability in largemouth bass.

RESUMO

Phagocytosis is an important innate immune process in which immune cells recognize, ingest and eliminate pathogens. Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) has become an important economic farmed fish in many regions, while few studies has focused on phagocytosis of its leucocytes. In present study, largemouth bass peripheral blood leucocytes were separated using Percoll gradient to establish the phagocytic function. Flow cytometric analysis showed that largemouth bass leukocytes exhibited the phagocytic capacity to fluoresbrite microspheres and Aeromonas hydrophila, where higher phagocytic capacity to A. hydrophila were observed in granulocytes/monocytes than that of lymphocytes. The leukocytes engulfing fluoresbrite microspheres and A. hydrophila were also observed by fluorescence microscopy. Besides, manygenes associated with phagocytosis and TNF-α in leukocytes were up-regulated following A. hydrophila stimulation. Subsequently, the largemouth bass TNF-α was recombinantly expressed to investigate its role in regulating phagocytosis. The results showed that TNF-α in largemouth bass could significantly enhance the phagocytic ability of granulocytes/monocytes to A. hydrophila, but not lymphocytes. Moreover, we also found that TNF-α could not only significantly increase the ROS activity of granulocytes/monocytes, but also had the function of inducing its apoptosis. These results demonstrated that granulocytes/monocytes play more important role in phagocytosis, meanwhile, TNF-α has the function of enhancing the phagocytic ability of granulocytes/monocytes in largemouth bass.

RESUMO

Aeromonas hydrophila is a Gram-negative pathogen that can infect various fish, including largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), which have caused huge economic losses. In present study, largemouth bass anti-A. hydrophila antibodies were produced, then a highly immunogenic outer membrane proteins, AHA_3793, was identified by combined western blotting and mass spectrometry analysis. Moreover, AHA_3793 was expressed, and its immunogenicity was further verified by western blotting. Subsequently, the protective efficacy of AHA_3793 were evaluated in largemouth bass. The results showed that rAHA_3793 could produce a relative percentage survival (RPS) of 61.76% for largemouth bass against A. hydrophila challenge. ELISA analysis showed the specific serum antibodies of largemouth bass against rAHA_3793 and A. hydrophila in vaccinated group in weeks 4 and 5 after immunization were significantly higher than those in control group, which suggested that rAHA_3793 induced production of specific serum antibodies against rAHA_3793 and A. hydrophila. The qRT-PCR analysis showed that expressions of CD4-2 and MHC IIα were also significantly up-regulated after immunization. These results collectively demonstrated that rAHA_3793 could induce a strong humoral immune response of largemouth bass, and then produce high immune protection effects against A. hydrophila infection.

RESUMO

To better understand the response of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) to Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) infection, we investigated the intestinal bacterial flora and transcriptome profile of fish at 72 hours post-infection (hpi). Total of 1574 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in largemouth bass spleen following MSRV infection, including 573 upregulated and 1001 downregulated genes. KEGG and GO enrichment analysis revealed that upregulated genes were enriched in certain antiviral related signaling pathway, including NOD-like receptor (NLR), RIG-I like receptors (RLR) and regulation of the interferon (IFN)-γ-mediated signaling pathway, whereas some immune-related DEGs enriched in focal adhesion (FA) and ECM-receptor interaction(ECM-RI) were downregulated, as well as genes associated with metabolic processes, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR), adipocytokine signaling pathway, Glycerolipid and Retinol metabolism. Furthermore, the principal component analysis (PCA) and phylogenetic analysis revealed that MSRV infection significantly affected the microbiota of largemouth bass intestine; the LEfSe analysis showed that relative abundances of Streptococcus were significantly increased, while the content of Akkermansia, Enterococcus and Lactobacillus were remarkably decreased in the fish intestine following MSRV infection. Additionally, a high correlation was determined between the expressions of interferon-related upregulated genes and the relative abundance of Streptococcus by redundancy analysis (RDA). These results collectively illustrated that intestinal microbiota composition might be associated with the immune-related gene expression in largemouth bass in response to MSRV infection.

RESUMO

The improper components of formulated feed can cause the intestinal dysbiosis of juvenile largemouth bass and further affect fish health. A 28 day feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effect of partially replacing fish meal (FM) with autolyzed Yarrowia lipolytica (YL) on juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). We considered four diets-control, YL25, YL50, and YL75-in which 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75% of the FM content, respectively, was replaced with YL. According to results, the weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) of the fish with the YL25 and YL50 diets were significantly higher than the WGR and SGR with the control diet, while the YL75 diet significantly reduced fish growth and antioxidant enzymes activities, and shortened the villus height in the intestinal mucosa. The 16S rRNA analysis of the intestinal microbiota showed that the relative abundance of Mycoplasma was significantly increased with the YL25 and YL50 diets, while the Enterobacteriacea content was increased with the YL75 diet. Moreover, our transcriptome analysis revealed that certain differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that are associated with growth, metabolism, and immunity were modulated by YL inclusion treatment. Dietary YL25 and YL50 significantly reduced the mRNA level of ERBB receptor feedback inhibitor 1 (errfi1) and dual-specificity phosphatases (dusp), while the expression of the suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (socs1), the transporter associated with antigen processing 2 subunit type a (tap2a), and the major histocompatibility complex class I-related gene (MHC-I-l) were sharply increased with YL75 treatment. We determined that the optimum dose of dietary YL required for maximum growth without any adverse influence on intestinal health was 189.82 g/kg (with 31.63% of the fishmeal replaced by YL), while an excessive substitution of YL for fishmeal led to suppressed growth and antioxidant capacity, as well as intestinal damage for juvenile largemouth bass.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have explored the association between parenting style and offspring's psychological well-being, and the association between offspring's achievement attribution pattern and psychological well-being. However, little is known about the role of offspring's achievement attribution in the relationship between parenting and offspring's psychological well-being. We aimed to find the role of adolescents' achievement attribution pattern in the relationship between parent-child communication quality and adolescents' mental health. METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 2,725 adolescents aged from 9 to 18 years who are participating in the China Family Panel Studies. Participants supplied demographic information and completed a series of psychological scales including the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale, an adapted version of the Parental Bonding Instrument, an achievement attribution scale, and single-item measures of subjective well-being and subjective interpersonal popularity. RESULTS: Linear regression analysis revealed that after controlling for demographic factors good parent-child communication negatively correlated with depression symptoms, and positively associated with subjective well-being and subjective interpersonal popularity. Next, mediation analysis found that internal attribution of achievement partly mediated the effects of parent-child communication quality on adolescents' depression, subjective well-being, and subjective interpersonal popularity. The result was robust after controlling demographic variables. CONCLUSIONS: An internal attribution pattern of achievement partially accounted for the associations between parent-child communication quality and adolescents' psychological outcomes including depression, subjective well-being, and subjective interpersonal popularity. Future interventions for adolescents' mental health promotion can target parent-child communication and adolescents' positive achievement attribution pattern.

RESUMO

Cervical cancer (CC) patients have a poor prognosis due to the high recurrence rate. However, there are still no effective molecular signatures to predict the recurrence and survival rates for CC patients. Here, we aimed to identify a novel signature based on three types of RNAs [messenger RNA (mRNAs), microRNA (miRNAs), and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)]. A total of 763 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEMs), 46 lncRNAs (DELs), and 22 miRNAs (DEMis) were identified between recurrent and non-recurrent CC patients using the datasets collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE44001; training) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (RNA- and miRNA-sequencing; testing) databases. A competing endogenous RNA network was constructed based on 23 DELs, 15 DEMis, and 426 DEMs, in which 15 DELs, 13 DEMis, and 390 DEMs were significantly associated with disease-free survival (DFS). A prognostic signature, containing two DELs (CD27-AS1, LINC00683), three DEMis (hsa-miR-146b, hsa-miR-1238, hsa-miR-4648), and seven DEMs (ARMC7, ATRX, FBLN5, GHR, MYLIP, OXCT1, RAB39A), was developed after LASSO analysis. The built risk score could effectively separate the recurrence rate and DFS of patients in the high- and low-risk groups. The accuracy of this risk score model for DFS prediction was better than that of the FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) staging (the area under receiver operating characteristic curve: training, 0.954 vs 0.501; testing, 0.882 vs 0.656; and C-index: training, 0.855 vs 0.539; testing, 0.711 vs 0.508). In conclusion, the high predictive accuracy of our signature for DFS indicated its potential clinical application value for CC patients.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Epidural analgesia has become a universal intervention for relieving labor pain, and its effect on the pelvic floor is controversial. AIM: To investigate the effect of epidural analgesia on pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in primiparous women at 6 months postpartum. METHODS: We performed a prospective cohort study involving 150 primiparous women in preparation for vaginal delivery, with 74 (49.3%) receiving epidural analgesia. Baseline demographic and intrapartum data were collected. At 6 months postpartum, PFD symptoms, including stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, defecation disorder, pelvic organ prolapse, and 4 kinds of sexual dysfunction (arousal disorder, low sexual desire, dyspareunia, and orgasm disorder), were evaluated. Pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function and postpartum depression were also assessed. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to identify factors associated with the PFD symptoms affected by epidural analgesia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: PFD symptoms and sexual dysfunction were evaluated through Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-12). PFM function was examined with palpation and surface electromyography (sEMG). Postpartum depression was assessed using Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). RESULTS: At 6 months postpartum, women who delivered with epidural analgesia had a higher incidence of dyspareunia (43.2% vs 26.3%, P <0.05) and longer first, second, and total stage of labor durations (P <0.01) than those who without. No significant difference in other PFD symptoms or PFM function was found between the 2 groups (P >0.05). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that epidural analgesia (OR = 3.056, 95% CI = 1.217-7.671) and SDS scores (OR = 1.066, 95% CI = 1.009-1.127) were independent risk factors for dyspareunia. CONCLUSION: At 6 months postpartum in primiparous women, epidural analgesia was associated with an increased risk of postpartum dyspareunia and longer labor durations, which deserves attention for rehabilitation after delivery. Future studies with a larger sample size are needed to evaluate the impact of epidural analgesia on other PFD symptoms. Du J, Ye J, Fei H, et al.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study intends to explore the safety and effectiveness of the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in the perioperative care of patients with supratentorial tumors. METHODS: A total of 151 supratentorial tumor patients were enrolled in this study, and they were divided into control group (n = 75) and observation group (n = 76) according to the random number table method. Patients in the control group received routine neurosurgery care, and patients in the observation group received enhanced recovery after surgery care. The incidence of perioperative complications, postoperative hospital stays, early postoperative eating time, catheter removal time, and time to get out of bed were observed for the two groups of patients, and the quality of postoperative recovery was evaluated. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference in the basic data of the two groups of patients, such as age, gender, lesion location, and condition (P>0.05), and they were comparable. The observation group's postoperative eating time, catheter removal time, and time to get out of bed were significantly earlier than those of the control group. Postoperative hospital stays and hospitalization expenses were less than those of the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Applying the ERAS concept to implement perioperative care for patients with supratentorial tumors is safe and effective. It can not only reduce after-surgical stress and accelerate postoperative recovery, but also shorten hospital stays and reduce hospital costs. It is worthy of clinical application.
