硬膜外镇痛联合应用乙酰氨基酚在剖宫产术后的镇痛效果

目的：比较对乙酰氨基酚联合自控硬膜外镇痛的多模式术后镇痛与单纯自控硬膜外镇痛用于剖宫产产妇术后镇痛效果。方法：200名行剖宫产的产妇随机分为实验组（S组）和对照组（C组）,S组产妇在术前15min静脉注射对乙酰氨基酚1g,C组产妇在术前15min静脉注射安慰剂（生理盐水）。两组产妇均采用腰硬联合麻醉方案,缝合切口时启动自控硬膜外镇痛泵。术前、术后即刻、术后1天、术后2天观察疼痛强度和血清IL-6、IL -10水平;记录新生儿出生Apgar评分、术后阿片类药物使用量及术后不良反应、产妇满意度和对母乳喂养的影响程度。结果：术后1天疼痛评分S组显著低于C组。术后即刻、术后1天S组IL-6表达水平低于C组,而该时点S组IL-10表达水平高于C组（P＜0.05）。两组间不良反应、新生儿出生Apgar评分、产妇满意度和母乳喂养情况无统计学差异（P＞0.05）。结论：剖宫产术前静脉注射对乙酰氨基酚联合自控硬膜外镇痛比单独应用自控硬膜外镇痛能够为产妇提供更好的术后疼痛管理。     

ONO—802阴道给药抗早孕50例临床效果观察

本文报告了停经56天以内的早孕妇女应用ONO-802阴道栓剂抗早孕的临床观察及效果。50例早孕妇女住院观察24小时,阴道投药1枚(1mg/枚),5枚为一疗程。用药后1周、2周、4～6周门诊随访,复查尿HCG、血红蛋白。在第二周随访时判断用药效果。临床结果:总有效率82%,其中完全流产76%,不全流产6%,失败率18%。ONO-802使用方便,副反应轻,是深受广大妇女欢迎的一种非手术终止妊娠的方法。本项试验结果通过与国内PG 联合用药的结果和研究资料对比,ONO-802如果能与丙睾、R2323、天花粉等联合应用,将会提高其抗早孕的有效率。     

Intrahepatic Delivery of Glutathione by Conjugation to Dextran

Glutathione was covalently attached to dextran (T-40) by the CNBr activation method. The compound obtained was a water-soluble powder containing 10 (w/w%) glutathione, which was gradually released from the conjugate in aqueous media. Mice depleted of glutathione by treatment with buthionine sulfoximine, a potent inhibitor of -glutamylcysteine synthetase, exhibited a significant increase in hepatic glutathione level after intravenous injection of the conjugate. In mice given a lethal dose of acetaminophen, the survival rate increased progressively with coadministration of the conjugate, whereas little improvement was found when free glutathione was given. The conjugate maintained the serum transaminase activities at lower level after acetaminophen administration. These findings suggest that the dextran conjugate of glutathione is transported into hepatic cells and is intracellulary hydrolyzed to free form, which protects mice from hepatotoxicity due to acetaminophen.     

Self-reported urogenital symptoms in postmenopausal women: Women's Health Initiative

OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence and correlates of self-reported urogenital symptoms (dryness, irritation or itching, discharge, dysuria) among postmenopausal women aged 50-79. DESIGN: A cross-sectional analysis based on n=98,705 women enrolled in the US-based Women's Health Initiative observational study and clinical trials. Urogenital symptoms, symptom severity (mild, moderate, severe), and all covariates were self-reported through questionnaires at enrollment. Prevalence rates of each urogenital symptom were examined and logistic regression was used to identify potential correlates. RESULTS: Prevalence rates for each symptom were: dryness, 27.0%; irritation or itching, 18.6%; discharge, 11.1%; and dysuria, 5.2%. Four factors were correlated with two or more symptoms: Hispanic ethnicity (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=2.1-3.1 versus white women across all symptoms), obesity (AOR=2.2 severe discharge versus none, AOR=3.6 severe irritation/itching versus none), treated diabetes (pills or shots) compared to no diabetes (AOR=2.4 severe dysuria versus none, AOR=3.2 severe irritation/itching versus none), and vaginal cream HRT/ERT compared to those who never used HRT/ERT (AOR=4.4 severe dryness versus none, AOR=4.6 severe irritation/itching versus none). Factors not associated with the symptoms included sexual activity, age, years since menopause, current smoking, marital status, gravidity, and natural versus surgical menopause. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report to document urogenital symptoms by race/ethnicity among an exclusively postmenopausal population. We found an elevated prevalence of urogenital symptoms among women who are Hispanic, obese, and/or diabetic. Confirmation of our findings in these subgroups, and, if confirmed, analysis on why these populations are at greater risk, are areas for future research.

The relationship between women's subjective and physiological sexual arousal

Previous literature presents discordant results on the relationship between physiological and subjective sexual arousal in women. In this study, the use of hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) revealed a significant concordance between continuous measures of physiological and subjective sexual arousal as assessed during exposure to erotic stimuli in a laboratory setting. We propose that past studies that have found little or no association between the two measures may have been in part limited by the methodology and statistical analyses employed.     

Vaginal absorption of oestradiol and progesterone

The vaginal absorption of micronized oestradiol/progesterone from a hydrophilic matrix system was investigated before and after 10 days of treatment in 7 post-menopausal women with an average age of 56.1 yr.

Oestradiol and progesterone levels were measured on days 1 and 11 before administration and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h afterwards by radioimmunoassay.

Peak values were seen 6–12 h after administration. This finding differs from those of other investigations. Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and androgen concentrations were unchanged after 10 days of treatment.     

How communication about risk and role affects women’s decisions about birth after caesarean

Objective

This study investigated how health care provider communication of risk information, and women’s role in decision-making, influenced women’s preferences for mode of birth after a previous caesarean birth.

The vaginal microbiota and its association with human papillomavirus,Chlamydia trachomatis,Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium infections: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background

The vaginal microbiota may modulate susceptibility to human papillomavirus (HPV), Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium infections. Persistent infection with a carcinogenic HPV is a prerequisite for cervical cancer, and C. trachomatis, N. gonorrheae and M. genitalium genital infections are all associated with pelvic inflammatory disease and subsequent infertility issues.
