Women's attitudes towards psychosocial support in labour in United Arab Emirates

Objective. The objective of this study was to determine women's attitudes and preferences regarding psychosocial support during childbirth in United Arab Emirates (UAE). Methods. A consecutive sample of 400 mothers with singleton normal pregnancies delivered vaginally during 2 months was interviewed postpartum about their experience and satisfaction with supportive care during labour using structured questionnaire. Results. Birth attendant continuously accompanied 237 (59.3%) participants including mother (59.5%), sister (31.2%), friend (7.2%), other family member (1.3%) or husband (0.8%). Preference in the no-companion group (n=163, 40.7%) was health professional (56.4%), mother (25.8%), sister (16.6%) or husband (1.2%). Labour was significantly shorter (P<0.0001) with less need for analgesia (P<0.0001), oxytocin augmentation (P<0.0001) and neonatal intensive care (P=0.03) in the companion group. Rates of instrumental delivery, episiotomy and perineal tear were similar in both groups. Three hundred and fifty (87.5%) subjects felt that psychosocial support during childbirth is essential and best provided by non-professional attendant (companion group) or midwife/obstetrician (no-companion group). 59.3% and 19.7% of mothers, respectively, reported less satisfaction and negative feelings about their perinatal experience that was more frequent in the no-companion group (P=0.001, P<0.0001; respectively). Conclusion. Perceptions, experiences and outcomes of companion support during childbirth in UAE, although relatively less available, are therefore not different from those described elsewhere.     

子宫动脉栓塞术在子宫肌瘤治疗中的价值

目的探讨经导管子宫动脉栓塞术（UAE）治疗子宫肌瘤的临床价值。方法选取症状性子宫肌瘤患者20例,行双侧子宫动脉插管,经导管注入聚乙烯醇颗粒行子宫动脉栓塞。术后随访观察6～18个月,了解症状改善及子宫和肌瘤大小变化。结果UAE术后2～6个月患者症状均有明显改善或消失,术后6～18个月B超显示肌瘤体积缩小30％～85％,平均缩小60％;子宫体积缩小25％～70％,平均缩小50％。没有严重并发症发生。结论UAE治疗子宫肌瘤是一项安全、有效的措施,值得在临床进一步推广。     

黄芪注射液合丹参注射液治疗2型糖尿病肾病早期的临床观察

目的 观察黄芪注射液合丹参注射液治疗２型糖尿病肾病早期的疗效。方法 对照组２６例,仅给予常规降血糖、降血压治疗。治疗组２８例,在对照组常规降血糖、降血压治疗的基础上,加用黄芪注射液合丹参注射液静脉点滴,连续１个月为１个疗程。观察患者２４ｈ尿微量白蛋白（ＵＡＥ）变化情况。结果 对照组治疗前后ＵＡＥ无明显变化（Ｐ〉０．０５）,而治疗组ＵＡＥ治疗后较治疗前显著下降（Ｐ〈０．０５）,与对照组比较有极显著性     

老年高血压患者静息心率增加与微量白蛋白尿的关系

目的探讨老年高血压病患者静息心率(resting heart rate,RHR)与尿白蛋白排泄率及微量白蛋白尿阳性率的关系。方法选择老年高血压患者155例,平均年龄(67.9±7.3)岁,分布于60~85岁。尿白蛋白排泄率在30~300mg/24h定为尿微量白蛋白尿阳性。按收缩压(SBP)水平分为3组:SBP<160mmHg(1mmHg≈0.133Kpa),160mmHg≤SBP<180mmHg,SBP≥180mmHg。在以上每一组中,又按RHR水平分为:RHR 1组,RHR<70次/min(48例);RHR 2组,70次/min≤RHR<80次/min(62例);RHR 3组,RHR≥80次/min(45例),比较其尿白蛋白排泄率及微量白蛋白尿阳性率。结果各组中随RHR增加,尿白蛋白排泄率依次增高(P<0.01);微量白蛋白尿阳性率依次增高(P<0.01)。结论随着RHR的升高,尿白蛋白排泄率及微量白蛋白尿阳性率均相应升高。RHR的增加是老年高血压患者早期肾损害的预测因素。     

子宫动脉栓塞化疗后内视镜下孕囊定位吸引术治疗剖宫产切口妊娠临床研究

目的探讨子宫动脉栓塞(UAE)化疗后内视镜下孕囊定位吸引术治疗剖宫产切口妊娠的临床效果,及UAE化疗无效的处理方案。方法回顾性分析2013年6月至2015年8月23例因剖宫产子宫切口妊娠(CSP)行双侧UAE及氨甲喋呤(MTX)介入化疗联合内视镜下孕囊定位吸引术治疗的临床效果,及UAE失败补救性处理——B超引导下孕囊穿刺注射MTX杀胚后内视镜下孕囊定位吸引术治疗效果。结果 23例UAE患者均行内视镜下孕囊定位吸引术,无一例子宫穿孔、大出血等严重并发症发生。其中5例术前孕囊内见心管搏动者,行UAE 48h复查B超,仅1例未见胎心消失。2例UAE后48hHCG下降不明显,继续B超引导下孕囊穿刺注射MTX杀胚后,再行内窥镜下负压吸宫术终止妊娠,均治疗成功。结论 UAE化疗治疗后内视镜下孕囊定位吸引术定位准确,治疗CSP可靠、有效。对于UAE化疗治疗失败的CSP患者,在B超引导下孕囊穿刺注射MTX杀胚后,再进行内视镜下孕囊定位吸引仍然有效,但仍有必要进一步研究。     

UAE对女性生殖内分泌影响的临床研究

目的 通过实验室及影象学指标评价子宫动脉栓塞(UAE)后女性内分泌功能的变化,了解UAE后女性内分泌功能是否受影响及程度,为子宫肌瘤和子宫腺肌病患者保守治疗提供理论依据.方法 以接受UAE治疗的子宫肌瘤和子宫腺肌病患者为对象,分组观察有无闭经,测定性激素水平,LH试纸测排卵,B超监测卵巢大小.结果 在生育年龄组中术前及术后各项指标均无明显变化(P<0.05).在围绝经期组中术前及术后卵巢大小及激素水平有变化(P>0.05).结论 UAE对生育年龄女性生殖内分泌功能无明显影响.但对围绝经期妇女的内分泌影响有待进一步研究.     

2型糖尿病尿白蛋白排泄率与载脂蛋白A1,B水平相关性的临床观察

目的了解2型糖尿病及其严重程度与脂代谢之间的关系.方法分别测定不同程度尿白蛋白的2型糖尿病患者及对照组的TC,TC,APOAl,APOB,IDL-C,HDL-C.结果2型糖尿病各组的血清APOAl,HDL-C较对照组低,APOB,LDL-C,TC,TG浓度较对照组高.APOAl水平随UAE升高而降低,APOB则升高显著.结论APOB与UAE有高度相关性,是糖尿病肾病发生危险度评估中的一个较灵敏,可靠的指标.
