Methods: This was a retrospective study screening a total of 486 patients who were admitted due to preterm labor from 2012 to 2019. Patients who were given nifedipine for tocolysis before delivery were considered as the study group (n: 240), and the patients who gave birth without getting tocolysis were considered as the control group (n: 246). The dose of nifedipine used during the last 24 hours, 72 hours and 1 week before delivery, the total dose of nifedipine given and the duration from the last dose to the delivery were recorded separately. Hemoglobin and hematocrit and platelet values measured before and 6 hours after delivery were recorded and postpartum bleeding amount was calculated. Results: No significant difference is observed in terms of mean difference between pre/postpartum hemoglobin and hematocrit levels between control group and nifedipine group (p > 0.05). But when subgroups that are created according to the time of use of nifedipine before delivery, a positive correlation was observed between difference in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels between prepartum and postpartum and nifedipine dosage for the last 24 hours (r = 0.176, p = 0.006), (r = 0.139, p = 0.030), but not for 72 hours or one week.

Mechanism: GnRH-a treatment often leads to low estrogen levels, resulting in peri-menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis. Add-back therapy relieves clinical symptoms by supplementing low-dose estrogen. The idea of “combined regulation” is to improve symptoms by adding plant preparations or proprietary Chinese medicines. Studies have shown that they may play a role by regulating serotonin activity. Findings in Brief: For patients treated with GnRH-a for less than 3 months, the combined-regulation regimen can be considered, whereas for patients who have had more than 3 courses of GnRH-a, add-back therapy with sex hormones must be used because the patients will have begun to have obvious bone-mass loss and even bone pain; this bone-mass loss is often irreversible. Conclusions: In the early treatment of endometriosis with GnRH-a, non-hormone combined-regulation therapy is a relatively safe and feasible choice, but hormone add-back therapy should be selected for patients who have had more than 3 courses of GnRH-a.","PeriodicalId":10312,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental obstetrics & gynecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135413781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prenatal testing can determine the possibility of a pregnant woman giving birth to an infant with Down’s. Many invasive interventions help with early diagnosis of Down’s. Although high-risk pregnancies should be offered invasive prenatal diagnosis, the International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis encourages non-invasive prenatal screening testing (NIPT) as a primary screening test for all pregnant women, regardless of risk. The present study aimed to determine the knowledge and attitude regarding NIPT among Saudi Arabian women. Methods: This cross-sectional study involving 1028 participants living in Saudi Arabia was conducted from February to March 2023, using a re-designed questionnaire shared among women with pregnancy history. The questionnaire assessed their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding NIPT. Results: Only 14.8% of our respondents had undergone NIPT; the most common indication was a recommendation from their healthcare provider (41.7%). About 3.4% of the respondents had given birth to a child with Down syndrome, and 22% had relatives with chromosomal abnormalities or genetic diseases. Surprisingly, only 22.3% of the respondents had previously heard about NIPT. The mean knowledge score about NIPT was 2.82 ± 1.89. The mean knowledge score was found to be significantly higher among females who had undergone NIPT, were aged <30, and had high school education. Conclusions: Most Saudi Arabian women have poor knowledge about NIPT and a positive attitude toward it. Thus, the suggestion is to raise awareness about NIPT use, indications, prices, and possible complications.","PeriodicalId":10312,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental obstetrics & gynecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135616874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to explore the invasiveness of GBS by comparing various indices of pregnant mothers and newborns. Methods: This retrospective study involved 6892 consecutive GBS screened pregnant women, and 48 GBS-positive newborns. The data of pregnant women and newborns was compared by Chi-square test and Kruskal-Wallis test. A p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: After excluding the other risk factors which can cause adverse pregnancy outcomes, there were no differences between pregnant women in GBS-positive and GBS-negative groups, except the age group. In the GBS-negative and positive groups the incidence of prematurity, premature rupture of membranes (PROM), and chorioamnionitis were 1.06% and 0.74%, 7.72% and 8.14%, 0.63% and 0.74%, respectively. The corresponding p-values were 0.619, 0.263, and 0.626. The GBS-positive rate was 6.83% (201/2943) in the 19–30 years (y) group, 6.89% in the (262/3802) in the 31–40 y group, and 1.36% (2/147) in the 41–52 y group (p = 0.031). The indices in the different newborn groups exhibited significant differences. Analysis of the data revealed significant differences in delivery mode, gestational age, neonatal birth weight, and Apgar scores among the GBS-colonization, GBS-infection, and death groups (p = 0.010, 0.004, 0.022, and 0.000 < 0.05, respectively). Conclusions: After excluding related factors, the evidence showing that GBS-colonization independently induced adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women was insufficient. GBS was more likely to attack premature newborns with low weight and poor health status.","PeriodicalId":10312,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental obstetrics & gynecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135616249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Overall, 4086 patients in 47 hospitals from 2004 to 2018 were divided into groups according to stage (4029 with stage IIIC1 and 57 with stage IIIC2). Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were applied to compare the 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of the three initial treatments before and after propensity score matching (PSM). Results: The 5-year DFS was worse in patients with stage IIIC2 than in those with stage IIIC1 (post-PSM: 68.3% vs. 39.9%, p < 0.001). For stage IIIC1, the ARH group had better 5-year OS (post-PSM: 71.0% vs. 80.0%, p < 0.001) and DFS (post-PSM: 67.2% vs. 71.0%, p < 0.001) than the R-CT group, while the NACT group had worse 5-year DFS (post-PSM: 67.7% vs. 55.3%, p = 0.002).

Currently, there is no consensus on the best management of CSP. A recent proposed treatment consists in placing a cervical ripening double-balloon catheter in the uterus under ultrasound guidance. Methods: In this systematic review on cervical ripening double-balloon catheter (CRDBC) treatment for CSP, we performed a literature search in electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library), from their inception until April 2023. The review was written following PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews. Results: We identified 30 studies, and we finally analyzed 5 studies that met the inclusion criteria (one case report, two retrospective case series studies, a retrospective cohort study, and a retrospective multicentric case series). The total of pregnancies treated with CRDBC is 71, of which 8 (11%) were cervical pregnancies. The gestational age at treatment ranges from 5 + 0 to 10 + 1 gestational weeks, with variable human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels (433–64.700 IU/mL). Most of the patients (73%) received adjuvant systemic methotrexate (MTX) and the catheter dwell time ranges from 1 to 5 days. Treatment was successful in all the patients. Maternal complications, defined as the need for transfusion, vaginal bleeding resulting in readmission, or requiring further treatment occurred in a small number of patients (4.2%). Conclusions: CRDBC was successful in the treatment of early CSPs. The effectiveness and safety of this minimally invasive method is testified to a small rate of maternal complications. Further prospective studies are warranted to explore this treatment modality.

The use of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) has been shown to reduce these risks in early preterm infants. However, the efficacy of rescue ACS in late preterm infants remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of rescue ACS in reducing the incidence of RDS and hypoglycemia in late preterm infants. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on women who delivered singleton late preterm infants (34 + 0 to 36 + 6 weeks of gestation) at a tertiary hospital. The inclusion criteria were completion of the initial cycle of ACS in the early preterm period (before 34 + 0 weeks of gestation). Data on maternal baseline characteristics, ACS administration, and neonatal outcomes were collected from medical records. Statistical analyses, including logistic regression and multivariate modeling, were performed to assess the association between rescue ACS and neonatal outcomes. Results: A total of 155 singleton late preterm infants were included in the study. Among them, 27.8% (43/155) received rescue ACS after 34 weeks of gestation, while 72.2% (112/155) did not. Neonates who did not receive rescue ACS had a significantly higher incidence of RDS compared to those who did (10.7% vs. 0%, p = 0.038). However, the results were not statistically significant in the multivariate analysis (odds ratio (OR), 0.07; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.00–1.48; p = 0.087).

CD200, an immune checkpoint, has been engineered to affect immunosuppression in ovarian cancer. However, the potential of CD200 to serve as a predictor of ovarian cancers remains unexplored. Methods: We performed dynamic measurements of exosome-mediated or serum CD200 levels at primary diagnosis, post-operation, and three cycles after chemotherapy. The receiver operating characteristic curve and cumulative survival rate were paralleled to decode the predictive and prognostic profiles. Results: Independent enrichment and identification of exosomes revealed a significant concentration of CD200, predominantly located within these exosomes. The CD200 level was elevated in non-responders compared to responders at the serial points and significantly decreased after treatment. At the 335.50 pg/mL cut-off, CD200 at primary diagnosis enabled accurate discrimination between responders and non-responders with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.94 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.902–0.979, p = 0.01). With the cut-off dropping from 311.00 pg/mL to 265.00 pg/mL, the AUC decreased from 0.918 (95% CI = 0.873–0.963, p = 0.02) to 0.908 (95% CI = 0.862–0.955, p = 0.02), respectively. Elevated levels of CD200 levels at both primary diagnosis and three cycles after chemotherapy were identified as independent predictors for poor progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.8, 95% CI = 2.08–3.49, p = 0.01; HR = 6.7, 95% CI = 4.01–8.02, p = 0.01, respectively) and overall survival (OS) (HR = 3.5, 95% CI = 2.14–4.99, p = 0.04; HR = 5.6, 95% CI = 3.01–7.34, p = 0.01, respectively). Based on CD200 dynamics, patients were stratified into high- and low-AUC groups. High CD200-AUC was independently associated with unfavourable PFS and OS (HR = 4.6, 95% CI = 3.6–15.7, p = 0.01; HR = 3.2, 95% CI = 1.5–6.3, p = 0.01, respectively). Conclusions: This study proposes high exosome-mediated CD200 as a liquid-based biomarker indicative of chemotolerance and dismal survival in ovarian neoplasms.","PeriodicalId":10312,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and experimental obstetrics & gynecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135780245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
