Obstetric include cesarean delivery, breech presentation, preterm placenta previa, placental abruption, premature rupture...

In recent decades we have observed a remarkable increase in the rate of caesarean section (CS) both developed and developing countries, especially China. However, real reasons for this phenomenon are uncertain. Notably, number women requesting elective CS without accepted valid medical indication has also increased, generating nationwide debate because several studies shown that may be underlying cause rates recently. Therefore, carried out multicentre, large-sample, cross-sectional study to...

Abstract Breast milk (BM) hormones have been hypothesised as a nutritional link between maternal and infant metabolic health. This study aimed to evaluate hormone concentrations in BM of women with without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the relationship factors, growth. We studied ninety-six nulliparous ( n 48) GDM their exclusively breastfed term singletons. Women received dietary therapy or insulin injection for euglycaemia during pregnancy. Hormone BM, BMI growth were longitudinally...

The Sec14 domain is an ancient lipid-binding that evolved from yeast Sec14p and performs complex lipid-mediated regulatory functions in subcellular organelles intracellular traffic. family characterized by a highly conserved domain, ubiquitously expressed all eukaryotic cells has diverse functions. However, the number characteristics of homologous genes soybean, as well their potential roles, remain understudied. In this study, we identified 77 soybean genome were unevenly distributed across...

Background: Liver injury is one of the serious complications sepsis. Previous studies suggested that dexmedetomidine (DEX) could alleviate cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced liver injury. However, it unclear whether protective effect DEX on sepsis-induced related to autophagy. Methods: Mice ( n = 105) were randomly divided into following groups: (i) CON group (Sham); (ii) CLP (CLP-induced + saline); (iii) DEX). Mouse models established using CLP. or normal saline was administered by...

Background Cesarean delivery (CD) rates have risen globally with nearly 50% of the non-indicated CDs worldwide in China and Brazil. In China’s One Child Policy era (1979–2015) most deliveries were women having their only child. Family size is a major determinant safety medically CD or on maternal request. The goal this study to document rates, indications, analyze relative compared SVD intrapartum CD. Methods Univariate multivariate logistic regression analyses association between mode...

In recent decades, we have observed a remarkable increase in the rate of caesarean section (CS) both developed and developing countries, especially China. According to World Health Organization (WHO) systematic review, if CS was between 10% 15%, maternal neonatal mortality decreased. However, above this level, increasing is no longer associated with reduced mortality. To date, consensus has been reached on main factors driving cesarean epidemic. reduce progressively CS, should find...
