RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the characteristics, diagnosis and prognosis of acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP), and to guide the management of AFLP patients.Methods:The clinical data of 34 AFLP patients admitted to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2009 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The general situation, diagnostic characteristics, treatment and maternal and neonatal prognosis of the AFLP patients were collected and analyzed.Results:The incidence of AFLP in our hospital was 0.022% (34/152 383). The age of onset was (30.6±4.9) years old, and the gestational age was (35.3±2.4) weeks. Most of the first symptom was gastrointestinal symptoms of unknown cause in the third trimester of pregnancy (53%, 18/34), accompanied by different degrees of elevated liver enzymes. Cesarean section was performed in 97% (33/34) of patients for termination of pregnancy. Only one pregnant woman was diagnosed prenatal and delivered vaginally, and the prognosis of both mother and infant was good. Five cases were transferred to intensive care unit, including 2 cases of acute renal failure, 1 case of gastrointestinal bleeding and 2 cases of disseminated intravascular coagulation. There was no maternal death. Severe asphyxia occurred in 2 neonates.Conclusions:Attention should be paid to the digestive tract symptoms during the third trimester of pregnancy and the diversity of clinical manifestations of AFLP for early detection. Once AFLP is diagnosed, pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible to improve maternal and infant outcomes.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the effect of induced labor on delivery outcome of pregnant women undergoing vaginal trial of labor after cesarean section. Methods Totally, 173 pregnant women undergoing vaginal trial of labor after cesarean from April 1st, 2016 to October 31st, 2017 were involved. According to whether or not induced labor, pregnant women were divided into induced labor group (n=47) and natural labor group (n=126). The two groups of the general situation, the situation of delivery and delivery outcome were compared. Further more, the induced labor group were divided into cesarean section patients (n=20) and vaginal delivery patients (n=27) based on pregnancy outcomes, induction situation and delivery situation were analyzed.Results (1) The gestational weeks was 39.2±1.1 in induced labor group, 38.7±1.0 in natural labor group. The 1?minute Apgar score was 9.98±0.15 in induced labor group, and 9.87± 0.60 in natural labor group. The neonatal weight was (3 497±426) g in induced labor group, and (3 288±350) g in natural labor group. The thickness of lower uterine segment at 36-39 weeks of pregnancy was (2.4±0.6) mm in induced labor group, (2.1 ± 0.6) mm in natural labor group. There were obviously differences in the gestational week, the 1?minute Apgar score, the neonatal weight and the thickness of lower uterine segment at 36-39 weeks of pregnancy between the two groups (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in 5?minute Apgar score, the interval between previous cesarean delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, fetal distress, and intrauterine infection, secondary uterine inertia, placental abruption and uterine ruption between the two groups (all P>0.05). (2) In induced labor group, the cervical score of cesarean section patients was 3.8±1.7, while the cervical score of vaginal delivery patients was 5.2±1.7. The induced labor days of cesarean section patients was (1.6 ± 0.9) days, while the induced labor days of vaginal delivery patients was (1.2 ± 0.4) days. There were obviously differences in the cervical score and the induced labor days among the two subgroup patients (all P<0.05). There were no significiant differences in Apgar score, neonatal weight, the thickness of lower uterine segment at 36-39 gestational weeks and the interval times of previous cesarean delivery between the two subgroup patients (P>0.05). Conclusion Induction of labor does not reduce neonatal Apgar score, and does not increase the incidence of postpartum complications, and eliminats the increase of cesarean section rate caused by increased gestational weeks and fetal enlargement, and increases the vaginal delivery rate of pregnant women undergoing vaginal trail of labor after cesarean section.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of low dose heparin on blood coagulation and therapeutic outcomes in premature infants with sepsis.Methods Clinical data of 69 septic preterm newborns weighting less than 1 500 g treated in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,29 infants received heparin therapy (6 U/kg,q 8 h,for 3 d,then q12 h,heparin group)and 40 infants did not receive heparin therapy (control group),the coagulation index and therapeutic outcomes were compared between two groups.Results The coagulation indexes PT,TT,APTT and D dimer in heparin group were all significantly lower than those in control group [(15.5±3.5) s vs.(19.0±3.9) s,(15.4±3.5) s vs.(18.8±3.5) s,(47.5±8.6) s vs.(58.4±18.1) s,(1.7±0.8) mg/L vs.(2.6±1.9) mg/L;t=-3.815,4.275,-3.004,-2.459,P<0.05].The overall clinical effective rate in heparin group was significantly higher than that in control group (86.2% vs.60.0%,x2 =4.408,P<0.05).Conclusion Low dose heparin can significantly improve the blood coagulation function and improve the therapeutic effect of premature infants with sepsis.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the changes of intrapartum cesarean rate, cesarean indications and pregnancy outcomes after the new partogram applied. Methods Totally 3 290 pregnant women trying to vaginal delivery which were managed according to the new partogram in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University from August to October in 2014 (new partogram group) were involved;2 987 pregnancy women trying to vaginal delivery from May to July in 2014 which were managed according to the old partogram (old partogram group) were involved as control. The intrapartum cesarean rate, cesarean indications and the pregnancy outcomes between the two groups were analyzed. Results The rate of intrapartum cesarean delivery was 8.50%(254/2 987) in old partogram group, and was significantly higher than that in new partogram group (6.2%, 204/3 290;P0.05), but the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in new partogram group was higher than the old partogram group [6.9% (14/204) versus 1.6% (4/254), P<0.05]. Conclusion After the new partogram applied, the rate of intrapartum cesarean delivery is significantly decreased, but the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage is increased.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the influencing factors of low birth weight infants (LBWI) in China in order to provide evidence for lowering the incidence of LBWI and improving the perinatal outcomes.Methods Clinical data were obtained from 14 different provinces, municipalities or autonomous regions in Northeastern, Northwestern, Northern, Central, Eastern, Southern and Southwestern of China, covering 39 hospitals of different levels.A total of 112 441 newborns were collected from January 1 to December 31 in 2011.After exclusion of those cases with incomplete information, miscarriage before 28 weeks of gestation, induction due to fetal malformation or intrauterine fetal death, 103 678 cases were restrospectively analyzed.Questionnaires were filled out and all data were recorded in computer network databases.Clinical data included maternal age, education background, height, weight, parity, histories of abnormal pregancy and comorbidities and complication.Independent sample t-test, Chi-square test, unvariate and ultivariate unconditional Logistics regression analysis were performed.Results The incidence of LBWI in mainland China was 7.21% (7 474/103 678), 61.43% (5 260/8 562) for preterm babies, and 2.33% (2 214/95 116) for full-term babies.Univariate analysis showed that LBWI were associated with maternal age, education background, height, pregestational body mass index (BMI), weight gain during pregnancy, cord length, smoking, parity, histories of abnormal pregancy, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), preterm birth, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, anemia, premature rupture of membranes and abnormal amniotic fluid volume.The following unconditional binary logistic regression analysis for those factors with P < 0.3 in unvariate analysis showed that preterm birth (OR=46.246, 95%CI: 41.484-51.555), hypertensive disorders during pregnancy (OR=5.031, 95%CI: 4.325-5.853), histories of intrauterine fetal death ≥ 1 times (OR=2.446, 95%CI: 1.479-4.044), oligohydramnios (OR=2.068, 95%CI:1.659-2.578), pregestational BMI < 18.5 (OR=1.637, 95%CI: 1.415-1.893), spontaneous abortion ≥ 1 times (OR=1.362, 95%CI: 1.043-1.777), age ≤ 20 (OR=1.332, 95%CI: 1.046 1.695), anemia (OR=1.230, 95%CI: 1.017-1.488) and premature rupture of membranes (OR=1.154, 95%CI:1.016-1.311) were risk factors for LBWI.The higher the maternal education level, weight gain, BMI and height, the lower the LBWI incidence.The risk factors of LBWI in premature small for gestational age (SGA) infants were hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and histories of intrauterine fetal death ≥ 1 times.The higher the maternal height and weight gain during pregnancy, the lower the incidence of LBWI in premature SGA infants.Conclusions The main influencing factors for LBWI are preterm birth and hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.In addition, LBWI is also associated with socioeconomic and genetic factors.
RESUMEN
Objectives To investigate the delivery mode and perinatal outcomes of low birth weight infants in mainland China, and to explore the appropriate delivery mode and timing of delivery. Methods Clinical data of 103 678 babies delivered from Jan 1st to Dec 31th, 2011 in 39 hospitals in mainland China were analyzed retrospectively. The 39 hospitals located in 7 administrative regions, including Northeast, Northwest, North, Central, East, South and Southwest China. Result (1) The average birth weight of the newborns was (3 263 ± 540) g. Among them, 7 474 cases were diagnosed low birth weight infants, with the incidence of 7.209%(7 474/103 678). There were 2.328%(2 214/95 116 ) full-term low birth weight infants and 61.434% (5 260/8 562 ) preterm low birth weight infants. (2) From week 28 to week 36, the cesarean section rate of low birth weight infants increased with the increasing of gestational weeks. The cesarean section rate of full-term low birth weight infants were 61.14%(1 139/1 863) , which was higher than that of normal birth weight infants (52.947%, 45 108/85 195). The differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). (3) The constitution of the indication of cesarean section showed that social factor and maternal factor were 10.73%(443/4 128) and 48.91%(2 019/4 128) for low birth weight infants, respectively. While for the normal birth weight infants, they were 27.70%(12 495/45 108) and 38.60%(17 412/45 108), respectively. There was statistically significant difference(P<0.01). (4) The emergency cesarean section rate of full-term low birth weight infants was 41.09%(468/1 139), which was higher than that of normal birth weight infants (31.09%, 14 024/45 108). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). (5) The rates of stillbirth, neonatal asphyxia and the mortality of full-term low birth weight infants were 2.36%(44/1 863), 6.12%(114/1 863), and 3.17%(59/1 863), respectively. Those of normal birth weight infants were 0.11%(94/85 195), 1.41%(1 201/85 195), and 0.14%(119/85 195), respectively. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). (6) The stillbirth rate and mortality of low birth weight infants born by cesarean delivery were significantly lower than those born by vaginal delivery. The rate of neonatal asphyxia (17.95%) and other morbidity (3.61%) among low birth weight infants born by cesarean section in week 28 to week 33+6 were significantly lower than those born by vaginal delivery (30.09%, 6.62%, respectively). (7) With the increase of gestational age, the incidence of neonatal asphyxia and stillbirth decreased. The incidence of neonatal asphyxia(39.22%) and stillbirth(23.28%) was most seen in 28 to 29 gestational weeks, which decreased to 9.08% and 2.88% in 34 gestation weeks. Conclusions Low birth weight is one of the leading causes of adverse perinatal outcomes and cesarean section. To decrease the incidence of low birth weight, individualized management should be performed according to the gestational age and fetal condition. Extending the gestational age to at least 34 weeks may avoid iatrogenic preterm labor and improve the neonatal survival rate.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the incidence and pregnancy outcomes of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) in pregnant women in Beijing.Methods A retrospective multicenter study of 18 534 cases delivered in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Beijing Friendship Hospital,Daxing MCH Hospital and Tongzhou MCH Hospital from January 2011 to December 2011,was conducted.Results Among 18 534 cases,PROM occurred in 4 504 cases (24.30%),including 3 910 cases of in term PROM (21.10%) and 594 cases of preterm PROM (3.20%).The incidence of premature delivery was 6.17% (1 144/18 534),and among 1 144 cases of premature delivery 547 cases were PROM (47.81%);the incidence of PROM was 22.75% (3 957/17 390) in term delivery.The overall cesarean section (CS) rate was 48.50% (8 989/18 534) and that in pregnant women with PROM was 35.55% (1 601/4 504),but the CS rate in pregnant women without PROM was 52.66% (7 388/14 030).The rate of postpartum hemorrhage was 13.12% (210/1 601)in CS cases and 4.17% (121/2 903) in vaginal delivery cases (x2 =121.361,P=0.000).The mean hospital stay for PROM was (5.3±2.9) d in CS cases and (4.3±2.3) d in vaginal delivery cases (t =-12.136,P =0.000).Conclusions Without severe maternal or fetal complications,the incidence of PROM is relatively high in Beijing region and PROM may not increase the maternal or fetal complications.Vaginal delivery is the main mode of delivery for PROM.Cesarean section may not cause less neonatal complications,but may lead to more postpartum hemorrhage and longer hospital stay.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the accuracy of realtime polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in the detection of group B Streptococcus (GBS) in pregnant women. Methods Samples were collected from 1 395 women at 35-37 weeks of gestation from March 1 to December 31, 2009 at three hospitals in Beijing. Samples were obtained from the lower one third vaginal wall and perianal area and tested for GBS using standard culture and PCR. Standard culture and gene analysis for GBS were applied as the gold standard, and the sensitivity and specificity of the rapid assay were determined. Results Of the 1 395 women qualified for PCR testing, 40(2.9%) were identified as GBS positive on the basis of the results of specimen culture, compared to 114 (8.2%) on the basis of PCR assay. The culture was negative and the PCR positive in 77 patients. The results which were not in agreement using the two tests were evaluated by the gene analysis for GBS. Among the 77 samples which were GBS positive by PCR, 66 samples were determined as GBS positive by gene analysis. The sensitivity of the PCR assay was 97.2%(103/106) and specificity was 99.1%(1 278/1 289), the maternal GBS colonization was 7.6%(106/1 395). Conclusions Realtime PCR assay allows rapid and reliable detection of GBS in last trimester with high sensitivity and specificity.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the value of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) on the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods Data of 6516 pregnant women who accepted prenatal cares from Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Capital Medical University between Jan.2010 and Dec.2010 were collected.All patients had normal FPG at first trimester,and accepted 75 g OGTT after abnormal 50 g glucose challenge test (≥7.8 mmol/L).According to the result of OGTT,they were divided into 12 groups,and Chisquare test was used to analyze the role of FPG of OGTT in GDM diagnosis.Results According to the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria,15.0% (980/ 6516) of this group of pregnant women was diagnosed with GDM by FPG (≥5.1 mmol/L) of OGTT in this study.Then,the rest 5536 pregnant women with normal FPG of OGTT were divided into 12 groups according to FPG level (FPG level interval 0.1 mmol/L).As FPG level rose,the incidence of GDM also rose (X2 =282.175,P =0.000).Similar results also appeared when the interval was 0.2 mmol/L and the FPG level was between 4.0 and 4.8 mmol/L (X2 =274.364,P=0.000).When FPG level was lower than 4.2 mmol/L(22.1%,1226/5536),the incidence of GDM diagnosed by OGTT was 3.6% (44/1226).And when FPG level of OGTT was higher than 4.8 mmol/L,the incidence of GDM was 26.2% (298/1138).Conclusions FPG screening is recommended between 24 and 28 gestational weeks before OGTT,and GDM low-risk women whose FPG ≤4.2 mmol/L do not need OGTT.
RESUMEN
The clinical data of 8 patients with the fourth-degree laceration of perineum, who were admitted in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2004 to December 2010, were reviewed retrospectively. The causes and clinical strategies were analyzed. The fourth-degree laceration of perineum was mainly caused by improper skills of midwifery, too faster labor,insufficient estimation of fetal-weight and perineal condition and obstetric forceps in this group of patients.Primary suture was performed and all cases achieved complete healing. The improvement of midwifery skill,carefully monitoring the uterine contraction, accurate evaluation of condition of perineum and the fetal-weight and good communication between patients and midwives are the key points to prevent the fourth-degree laceration of perineum.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate safety and efficacy of dinoprostone suppositories(0.8 mm) used in cervical ripening and labor induction in women with term premature rupture of the membranes.Methods One hundred women of term monocyesis with premature rupture of the membranes,head presentation,bishop score less than 6(test group)and 180 women with intact fetal membranes(control group)were enrolled into this multicenter,prospective clinical study.The vaginal delivery system was inserted into the posterior foruix,and the patients were recumbent for 2 hours after insertion.The interval time from using dinoprostone suppositories to uterine contraction,to labor and delivery were recorded.The following index were also recorded and compared,including the mean inserted time of dinoprostone suppositories,fetal heart beat,meconium stained amniotic fluid,hyperstimulation of uterus and the other complications,mode of delivery,stage of labor,postpartum hemorrhage,status of neonates.Results Three cases intest group and 23 casesin control group weren't in labor within 24 hours.The rate of labor within 24 hours in test group was significant higher than that in control group(97.0% vs.87.2%,P<0.01).It was observed that 73 cases undergoing vaginal deliveries(75.3%,73/97)and 24 cases undergoing cesarean section dehveries(24.7%,24/97)in test group and 107 cases undergoing vaginal delivery(68.2%,107/157)and 50 cases undergoing cesarean section delivery(31.8%,50/157)in control group,when compared the rate of vaginal or cesarean section deliveries between two group,it didn't reach statistical difference (P >0. 05). It had no significant difference in the interval time from using dinoprostone suppositories to labor starting and the mean inserted time and the total labor time between two groups ( P > 0.05 ). The incidence of uterine tachysystole was 11.3% (11/97) in test group and 19. 1% (30/157) in control group (P>0. 05), which did not reach statistical difference (P>0. 05). There wasn't neonatal asphyxia in both groups. Conclusion It was safe and efficient to use dinoprostone suppositories for cervical ripening and induction of term pregnancy with premature rupture of the membranes, however, monitoring should be intensified.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the risk factors associated with abnormal cervical cytology findings in pregnant women. Methods From Sep. 2007 to Sep. 2008, 12 112 pregnant women who underwent their antenatal examinations at 12-36 gostational weeks in Beijing Obsteties and Gynecology Hospital were enrolled in this study. They were all excluded from the following pathologic obstetrics factors including threatened abortion, premature rupture of membranes or placental previa Thinprep cytology test (TCT) were given at their first examination, meanwhile, a personal clinic file was established to record her occupation, education, address, family income, nationality, age of first intercourse, number of sex partners, contraception, marriage and pregnancy, current gynecologic diseases, family history of gynecologic tumors, history of gynecologic diseases and smoking and result of pelvic examination. Those risk factors leading to abnormal cervical cytology were analyzed. Results The complete clinical data were collected from 11 906 cases(98.30%, 11 906/12 112). It was found that 10 354 women were shown with normal TCT result, however, 1134 women (9.52%, 1134/11 906) with atypical squamaous cells of undetermined significance(ASCUS), 112 women (0.94%, 112/11 906) with atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance(AGUS), 229 women (1.92%, 229/11 906) with low grade squamaous intraepithelial(LSIL),74 women (0.62%, 74/11906) with high grade squamaous intraepithelial(HSIL). Multiple factorial non-conditioned logistic regression analysis showed that age of first sexual intercourse (OR_(ASCUS)=2.90, OR_(AGUS)=7. 32), number of sex partners (OR_(AGUS)=1.49, OR_(AGUS)=2. 02), number of abortion (OR_(ASCUS)=1.68,OR_(AGUS)=3.50) were correlated with ASCUS and AGUS. In LSIL group and HSIL group, age of first sexual intercourse (OR_(LSIL)=6. 34, OR_(HSIL)=9.26), number of sex partners (OR_(LSIL)=1.69, OR_(HSIL)=1.6.5),number of abortion (OR_(LSIL)=1.53, OR_(HSIL)=5. 33), smoking (OR_(LSIL)=1.84, OR_(HSIL)=1.77) were remarkable variables. The infection of human papilloma virus (HPV) and trichomonas vaginitis were correlated with abnormal cervical cytology(including ASCUS, AGUS, LSIL and HSIL) significantly (P< 0.01). Columnar epithelium dystopia were also significantly correlated with abnormal cervical cytology (χ~2=43. 269, P=0. 000). However, abnormal cervical cytology was uncorrelated with degrees of Columnar epithelium dystopia. Conclusions The risk factors associated with abnormal cervical cytology in pregnant women were the same with those of non-pregnant women.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the suitable mode of induced termination of pregnancy at second and third trimester for women with scarred uterus. Methods A retrospective study was performed in 90 cases of second and third trimester pregnant women with scarred uterus, who requested termination of pregnancy due to medical indications in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from September 2002 to June 2009. The indications of termination of pregnancy were fetal anomaly, serious pregnant complication and intrauterine fetal deaths. 72 second trimester pregnant women and 18 third trimester pregnant women were included in this study. The interval time of previous operation to this pregnancy were recorded. And it was <2 years in 20 cases and ≥2 years in 70 cases. The patients with normal Hepatic function began to take mifepristone and had an allergic test of Ethacridine Lactate. The method of mifepristone combined with Ethacridine Lactate were adopted when the allergic test was negative (group A, 54 cases). The method of mifepristone combined with earbeprost methylate suppositories were used in the patients who had a positive reaction to the allergic test of Ethacridine Lactate, or who failed to amniotomy to inject Ethacridine Lactate because of oligohydramnios or small gestational age(group B, 36 cases). Record the detail information of every patient. (1) Age, gestational weeks, gravidity and parity. (2) The mode of previous operation (inducing the scar of uterus), previous operation time and indication. (3) The mode of induced labor in this pregnancy, the interval time from administration to uterine contraction, delivery or not and the interval time from induction to delivery. (4) Postpartum hemorrhage, the successful rate of induce labor, placental retention ratio and rupture of uterus or not. Results (1) It had no significant difference between group A and group B in age, gravidity, parity and the interval time of previous operation to this pregnancy (P> 0.05). But there was significant difference between two groups in gestational weeks of induction(16 weeks vs. 25 weeks,P<0.01). (2) It had no significant difference between two groups in successful rate of induction and postpartum hemorrhage(P>0.05), but the time from induction to regular uterine contraction and delivery in group B was significant shorter than that of group A(P<0.01). The rate of delivery with 24 hours in group B was 94%. It was significant higher than that of group A(13%, P<0.01). (3) The rate of retained placenta in group B (31%, 11/35) was significant higher than group A (10%, 5/52), but the ratio of residual of placenta and membranes in group A was significant higher than that of group B(54% vs. 34% ). It was no significant difference in total rate of postpartum complication between two groups. Further analysis was done in relationship of complication and the time of previous operation. It was no significant difference between the over 2 years group and the less 2 years group in the incidence rate of complications including placental retention, residual of placenta and membranes, rupture of uterus, placental abruption and postpartum hemorrhage. (4) There was 1 case of uterine rupture in group B and 1 case of placental abruption in group A. Conclusions Both of methods of mifepristone combined with carboprost methylate suppositories and the mifepristone combined with Ethacridine lactate are feasible to induced second trimester and late trimester termination of pregnancy for women with scarred uterus. But sufficient preoperation preparation and the course of induction and labor careful monitoring must be done to prevent the uterine rupture.
