Pharmacokinetics and endometrial and tubal tissue penetration of cefalotin and cefazolin

The pharmacokinetics and concentrations of the two antibiotics cefazolin and cefalotin were studied during gynecologic operations in endometrial and tubal tissue. The patients received 0.05 g/kg of the antibiotics by intravenous injection. Under the given conditions, pharmacokinetic calculation of the plasma elimination gave half-lives of 24.8 min for cefalotin and of 63 min for cefazolin. Fitting of the tissue levels to the Bateman function showed that the two antibiotics diffuse rapidly into both tubal and endometrial tissue and attain peak concentration levels between 10 and 25 min. In both tissues the concentrations of cefazolin were higher than those of cefalotin. Higher tissue concentrations of cefazolin could also be demonstrated in experiments of longer duration.

Israeli and British women's wellbeing and eating behaviours in pregnancy and postpartum

Objectives: The study had two main objectives: (a) track changes in self-esteem, eating behaviours and body satisfaction from early pregnancy to 24 months postpartum and (b) to compare changes by context (Israel vs. UK) and maternal body mass index (BMI).

Background: High maternal BMI is associated with negative body image and restrained eating, which are experienced differently across cultures.

Methods: 156 pregnant women were recruited from Israel and the UK. Seventy-three women were followed up every six months from early postpartum and until 24 months following birth. Women completed questionnaires assessing self-esteem (RSEQ), body image (BIS/BIDQ) and eating behaviours (DEBQ) and self-reported weights and heights so that BMI could be calculated.

Results: Women with higher BMI had higher levels of self-esteem and were less satisfied with their body. Healthy-weight women were more likely to lose all of their retained pregnancy weight compared to overweight and obese women. Self-esteem, body image and eating behaviours remained stable from pregnancy until 24 months postpartum. No significant differences were found for any measure by context.

Conclusion: BMI was the strongest predictor of self-esteem and body dissatisfaction and a higher BMI predicted less weight loss postpartum.     

Psychological and pharmacological treatments of mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy and postpartum. Review and synthesis

The aim of this article is to review the main methods of treatment of anxious and depressive disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum. To this end, we analyse recent publications about the use and efficacy of psychotherapy and psychosocial interventions (cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, psychoanalytical therapy) in the perinatal period. We also review recent papers about the use of psychotropic medication during pregnancy and breast-feeding, with special emphasis on clinical trials. We particularly focus on the risk/benefit assessment of antidepressants, mood stabilisers, antipsychotics and benzodiazepines, in terms of teratogenicity, and impact on neonatal adaptation and neuropsychological development. Various treatment modalities are presented and discussed. It appears that psychotherapies have proved their efficiency on most pre- and postpartum anxious and depressive disorders and represent a first line treatment in most cases. Psychopharmacological treatment is indicated for severe anxious and depressive disorders. The risks of such medication, especially antidepressants, may have been overestimated in the past. Provided reasonable precautions are taken and mothers and future mothers receive clear information on the potential risks and benefits, psychotropic medication could be more broadly prescribed during pregnancy and the breast-feeding period.     

Placental ischemia and changes in umbilical and uteroplacental arterial and venous hemodynamics

Objective: To relate Doppler velocimetry findings in fetoplacental and uteroplacental circulation to placental histomorphology. Material and methods: In 14 uncomplicated and 31 high-risk pregnancies Doppler velocimetry was performed in umbilical artery and vein, and in maternal uterine veins and arteries during the second half of gestation. Histopathology of the placentas was examined, especially for signs of ischemia and inflammation. Results: All fetuses in uncomplicated pregnancies had normal flow velocity waveforms in umbilical artery; in the high-risk group, 18 fetuses had abnormal flow (increased PI or absent/reverse end-diastolic flow). The latter group had more often high ischemic score and infarctions in the placenta than found in pregnancies with normal umbilical artery flow (p?<?0.001 and p?=?0.02, respectively). Similarly, the abnormal uterine artery flow pattern (uterine artery score 3–4) occurred more often with high ischemic score and placenta infarctions (p?<?0.001 and p?<?0.001, respectively). No significant associations were found between the uterine venous flow type and placental ischemia. Conclusion: Placental ischemic morphological changes were associated with Doppler ultrasound signs of increased resistance to arterial blood flow, both on the fetal and maternal sides of the placenta. No significant relation to the uterine venous flow velocities was found.     

绒毛膜羊膜炎与胎儿及新生儿疾病

绒毛膜羊膜炎是产科炎症反应,但与新生儿预后关系密切。母体的宫内炎症反应可以直接导致胎儿和婴儿患病率和死亡率增加,胎儿炎症反应综合征（FIRS）也不可忽视。早期识别和快速诊断有助于减少母儿的近期合并症,改善新生儿的远期预后。产科和儿科共同关注,整合信息,是早期发现、实施有效干预的临床重点之一。
