Effect of different delivery modes on the level of protein, glucose and blood lipids in cord artery and vein blood

To explore whether there are differences in the levels of protein, glucose and blood lipids in umbilical vein and umbilical artery blood of newborns with different delivery modes, and to evaluate their value as indicators of fetal intrauterine nutrition and nutritional support. A total of 89 pairs of mothers and infants who were delivered in Danyang People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province from June to September 2021 were selected as the study subjects, including 38 cases of spontaneous delivery and 51 cases of cesarean section. The basic information of pregnant women, pregnancy information, newborn delivery and physical examination information were extracted from the medical record information system of the hospital. According to the mode of delivery, HITACHI 7600 automatic biochemical analyzer was used to measure the levels of protein, glucose and blood lipids in umbilical vein and umbilical artery blood, including total protein(TP), albumin(ALB), glucose(GLU), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C). The data were statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 statistical software. The levels of TP, ALB, GLU, TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C in the umbilical vein blood of the spontaneous delivery group were(56.40±5.83)g/L, (38.41±3.43)g/L, (4.55±1.53)mmol/L, (1.68±0.42)mmol/L, (0.25±0.11)mmol/L, (0.84±0.17)mmol/L and(0.69±0.23)mmol/L, respectively. The levels of TP, ALB, GLU, TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C in umbilical artery blood were(56.49±9.91)g/L, (37.72±4.77)g/L, (4.07±1.52)mmol/L, (1.60±0.42)mmol/L, (0.24±0.10)mmol/L, (0.80±0.18)mmol/L and(0.68±0.24)mmol/L, respectively. The levels of TP, ALB, GLU, TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C in umbilical vein blood of cesarean section group were(52.08±4.12)g/L, (36.12±2.13)g/L, (3.45±1.16)mmol/L, (1.61±0.39)mmol/L, (0.19±0.08)mmol/L, (0.82±0.18)mmol/L and(0.61±0.20)mmol/L, respectively. The levels of TP, ALB, GLU, TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C in umbilical artery blood were(51.49±7.59)g/L, (35.40±3.60)g/L, (3.09±1.15)mmol/L, (1.48±0.40)mmol/L, (0.19±0.08)mmol/L, (0.78±0.18)mmol/L and(0.60±0.20)mmol/L, respectively. The levels of TP, ALB, Glu and TG in cord vein blood and cord artery blood in spontaneous labor group were significantly higher than those in cesarean section group(P<0.05); The levels of Glu, TC, TG and HDL-C in cord vein blood were significantly higher in spontaneous labor group and cesarean section group than those in cord artery blood(P<0.05). The levels of protein, glucose and blood lipids in umbilical vein and umbilical artery blood were different among different delivery modes.

Effects of Different Delivery Modes on the Expression of Vesicle Transport-Related Genes in Female Pelvic Floor Muscle Repair After Injury.

A sudden rise in intra-abdominal pressure that causes the pressure in the bladder to rise during physical movement and/or activity, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, or weightlifting, is known as stress urinary incontinence. This condition causes an uncontrollable overflow of urine. The study's goal was to determine whether effector molecules, specifically ADP ribosylation factor GTPase activated protein 3, might play a part in the female pelvic floor muscle's ability to heal after suffering damage during vaginal delivery. Pelvic floor muscle samples were taken from women who had at least one vaginal delivery and were enrolled in either the IU group (n = 45; issue of stress urinary incontinence) or the NL group (n = 85; no issue of stress urinary incontinence) depending on whether they had a problem with stress urinary incontinence. Vesicle transport-related genes in female pelvic floor muscle injury repair were discovered using Gene Expression Omnibus. For gene analysis and screening, RT-qPCR was employed. On the first day following injury, the expression level of ARFGAP3 mRNA increased by 2.8 times (p 0.05) and by 5 times (p 0.01) on the third day. On the first day following damage, STMN1 mRNA expression rose by 0.3 times (p 0.05). On the first day following injury, the expression level of THBS2 mRNA increased by 1.6 times (p 0.01). On the third day following the injury, the expression level of PLXNB2 mRNA increased by 1.2 times (p 0. 01), and on the fifth day following the injury, it increased by 2.5 times (p 0. 01). After pelvic floor muscle damage, the mRNA expression levels of the CSF1R, ANXA4, and EMR1 genes dropped. Between those with and without pelvic floor muscle damage, there was no statistically significant difference in the expression levels of LGARLS3, KDELR3, and KIF20A mRNA (p > 0. 05 for all). The differential expression of genes after pelvic floor muscle injury can identify the target in the process of pelvic floor muscle injury repair and regeneration.

Effect of different delivery modes on the level of cortical hormones in cord artery and vein blood

To investigate the difference of cortical hormones in cord artery and vein blood of newborns with different delivery modes. A total of 65 pregnant women who delivered in the People's Hospital of Danyang City, Jiangsu Province from June to September 2021 were selected as the study subjects, including 26 cases of spontaneous delivery and 39 cases of cesarean section. The basic information of 65 pregnant women and newborns was collected by questionnaire survey. According to the mode of delivery, the levels of corticosteroids in umbilical vein and umbilical artery blood were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS), including corticosterone, 11-desoxycorticosterone, aldosterone, cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol and cortisone. The data were statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 statistical software. The levels of cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol, aldosterone, cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol and cortisone in the umbilical vein blood of the spontaneous delivery group were(2.44±1.87), (0.64±0.29), (0.49±0.35), (54.95±40.80), (3.20±1.23) and(142.27±57.42)ng/mL, respectively. The levels of corticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol, aldosterone, cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol and cortisone in umbilical artery blood were(4.51±4.47), (0.57±0.28), (0.42±0.29), (60.79±45.53), (2.69±1.25) and(123.10±46.32)ng/mL, respectively. The levels of corticosterone, 11-deoxycortisone, aldosterone, cortisol, 11-deoxycortisone and cortisone in umbilical vein blood of cesarean section group were(0.94±1.09), (0.47±0.14), (0.26±0.14), (22.63±19.82), (2.30±0.90) and(84.51±29.49)ng/mL, respectively. The levels of corticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol, aldosterone, cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol and cortisone in umbilical artery blood were(2.22±2.24), (0.43±0.17), (0.27±0.14), (30.09±25.93), (1.87±0.76) and(75.03±24.90)ng/mL, respectively. The levels of corticosterone, 11-desoxycorticosterone, aldosterone, cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol and cortisone in cord vein blood and cord artery blood in spontaneous labor group were significantly higher than those in cesarean section group(P<0.05). The levels of corticosterone and cortisol in cord vein blood were significantly lower in spontaneous labor group and cesarean section group than those in cord artery blood(P<0.05), the levels of 11-desoxycorticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol and cortisone in cord vein blood were significantly higher in spontaneous labor group and cesarean section group than those in cord artery blood(P<0.05). There are differences in the level of cortical hormones in cord artery and vein blood in different delivery modes.

Effects of different delivery modes on teaching biomedical science practical skills in higher education during the 2021 pandemic measures.

The COVID‐19 pandemic related measures had augmented the rise of online education. While online teaching had mitigated the negative impacts from educational institutional closures, it was unable to displace hands‐on biomedical laboratory practical lessons effectively. Without practical sessions, there was concern over the imparting of laboratory skills even with video demonstrations. To investigate the effectiveness of different delivery modes in imparting laboratory skills, theoretical and practical student assessments were analyzed alongside an anonymous survey on their motivation and prior experience. The undergraduate students were exposed to (1) instructor‐live demonstration; (2) video demonstration or (3) no demonstration prior to the practical test which was a plasmid extraction. Significantly higher mini‐prep yields and purity were found for both instructor‐live and video demonstrations compared to no demonstration. Comparison with pre‐pandemic theoretical assessment performance showed no significant differences despite longer contact hours during pre‐pandemic times. Prior lab experience and motivation for selecting the course did not significantly affect student mini‐prep yields. In conclusion, our findings suggest that video demonstrations were as effective as instructor‐live demonstrations during the pandemic without noticeably compromising the teaching and learning of biomedical laboratory skills.

Effects of Different Delivery Modes on Pelvic Floor Function in Parturients 6-8 Weeks after Delivery Using Transperineal Four-Dimensional Ultrasound.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different delivery modes on pelvic floor function in parturients 6–8 weeks after delivery using transperineal four-dimensional ultrasound. Methods Pelvic floor function 6–8 weeks after delivery in 40 vaginal delivery parturients between November 2018 and December 2020 was assessed by four-dimensional ultrasound, with 40 selective cesarean section delivery parturients as a control group. The imaging results of the two groups were compared. Results The levels of clinical indexes such as UVJ-M, Ar, Av, θ, Dr, Dv, and ARJ-VDv in the selective cesarean section group were significantly lower than those in the vaginal delivery group 6–8 weeks after delivery (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference in CV-VD was observed under Valsalva action and at rest between the two groups (P > 0.05). No significant difference in ARJ-VD was found at rest between the two groups (P > 0.05). The incidence of pelvic organ prolapse in the selective cesarean section group (40.0%) was significantly lower than that in the vaginal delivery group (62.5%) (P < 0.05). No significant difference in the parameters of pelvic diaphragm hiatus at rest was observed between the two groups (P > 0.05). The parameters of pelvic diaphragm hiatus under maximum Valsalva action in the vaginal delivery group were significantly higher than those in the selective cesarean section group (P < 0.05). Whether the patient was complicated with diabetes had no significant effect on the functional injury of pelvic floor muscle (P > 0.05). Conclusion The pelvic floor function 6–8 weeks after delivery was significantly more affected in vaginal delivery than in selective cesarean section. Selective cesarean section had certain but limited protective effect on maternal pelvic floor tissue.

The effect of different delivery modes of misinformation on false memories in adolescents and adults

ABSTRACT The current study examined the effects of different delivery modes of misinformation on false memory creation in adolescents and adults. Forty adolescents (14-15 year olds) and fifty-three adults (over 18) were instructed to watch a video. Following this, half of the participants were given direct-with interaction misinformation, in which misinformation was delivered by the experimenter and participants (co-witnesses) were able to interact before their memory was tested. The other half of the participants were given direct-without interaction misinformation, in which they listened to a narrative read aloud by the experimenter, without interacting. Lastly, all participants completed a memory test. We found that participants in the direct-without interaction group were more likely to report false memories compared to the direct-with interaction group. Furthermore, adolescents endorsed more misinformation details than adults. Our results provide a new perspective about the role of social factors in the occurrence of false memories.

Delivery Modality Affect Neonatal Levels of Inflammation, Stress, and Growth Factors.

Introduction: As part of the study CODIBINE, Correlations and Diagnoses for Biomarkers in New-borns, the main objective of the study was to explore neonatal inflammation, stress, neurodevelopment, and growth factors after in-labor and pre-labor cesarean section compared to vaginal delivery. Increasing evidence has shown that birth delivery mode has an impact on imminent and long-term child health. However, the effect of the timing of cesarean section is insufficiently elucidated. The main objective of the study was to explore the effect of different delivery modes, vaginal delivery compared to cesarean section with or without initiation of labor, on the infants.Methods: We designed a retrospective cohort study, including dried blood spot samples from mature (gestational age ≥ 37) newborns delivered in the years 2009-2011. The newborns were divided into three groups after delivery mode: (1) pre-labor cesarean section (n = 714), i.e., cesarean delivery without initiation of labor, (2) in-labor cesarean section (n = 655), i.e., cesarean section after initiation of labor, and (3) vaginal delivery (n = 5,897). We measured infant levels of inflammatory (IL-18, MCP-1, CRP, sTNF RI), stress (HSP-70), growth (EGF, VEGF-A), and neurotrophic factors (BDNF, NT-3, S100B) 2–4 days after birth.Results: The neonatal levels of inflammatory and stress markers were significantly lower, while the levels of growth factors were higher after pre-labor cesarean section compared to vaginal delivery. The biomarker levels were similar after in-labor cesarean section and vaginal delivery. Removing cases with pre-labor rupture of membranes and artificial rupture of membranes in the calculations did not change the results. The levels of neurotrophic factors were unaffected by delivery form. Males had generally higher levels of inflammation and lower levels of growth and neurotrophic factors. Overall, the levels of inflammatory markers increased, and the growth factors decreased with increasing gestational age.Conclusion: The present study of the biomarker levels after birth suggests that the labor process has an important effect on the fetal immune system and level of stress, regardless if the delivery ends with cesarean section or vaginal birth.

Effect of Different Delivery Modes on Pelvic Floor Function and Effect of Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Effect of Perineum Block Anesthesia Combined with Unprotected Perineal Delivery on the Perineal Integrity Rate and Maternal-Infant Outcomes in Primiparas Taking Health Products Containing Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Objective The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of perineum block anaesthesia combined with unprotected perineal delivery on the perineal integrity rate and maternal-infant outcomes in primiparas taking health products containing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Methods A total of 120 puerperae admitted to our hospital from July 2019 to July 2020 were selected as study subjects and divided into group A (n = 60) and group B (n = 60), according to the number table method. Both groups took health products containing TCM, and the puerperae in group A received perineum block anaesthesia combined with unprotected perineal delivery, while those in group B were treated with routine delivery combined with routine protected perineal delivery. After that, the effect of different delivery modes on the perineal integrity rate and maternal-infant outcomes in puerperae was analyzed by the comparison of delivery condition, perineal condition, and postpartum quality of life between the two groups. Results There were no significant differences in average age and other general data between the two groups (P > 0.05); the duration in first, second, and third stages of labor in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P < 0.001); the Apgar score in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P < 0.001); the number of puerperae with integrated perineum in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P < 0.05), while the number of puerperae receiving episiotomy in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P < 0.05); the quality of life score in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P < 0.001); the incidence of maternal postpartum complications in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P < 0.05). Conclusion Perineum block anaesthesia combined with unprotected perineal delivery can effectively shorten maternal labor duration, improve perineal integrity rate, and reduce laceration of perineum, with a significant therapeutic effect, which is worthy of application and promotion.

The impacts of delivery mode on infant\u2019s oral microflora

This study investigated the effects of different delivery modes on oral microflora in healthy newborns immediately post-partum, and provided evidence for microbial colonization disruption induced by medical procedures. Eighteen infants delivered by cesarean section and 74 by vaginal delivery were included in the study. High-throughput sequencing of 16S bacterial rRNA was performed on oral samples collected immediately after birth. All data were analyzed using bioinformatics approaches. Our results indicated that different oral bacteria were found between infants delivered by cesarean section compared to vaginal delivery group. Lactobacillus, Prevotella and Gardnerella were the most abundant genera in the vaginal group, while Petrimonas, Bacteroides, Desulfovibrio, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Tepidmicrobium, VadinCA02, and Bifidobacterium were dominant bacteria in the cesarean section (C-section) group. Furthermore, bacteria isolated from 27 vaginally-delivered infants were not clustered into the vaginal group. Most of them spent more than 24 hours in the delivery room and this led to repeated sterilization procedures. We hypothesized that repeated sterilization might have influenced oral microflora in those cases. To conclude, this study suggested that different modes of birth delivery affect oral microflora in healthy infants. In addition, attention shall be paid to the clinical practice of repeated sterilization of the vulva that possibly obstructs the colonization of vaginal bacterial.

Effect of different delivery modes on the short-term strength of the pelvic floor muscle in Chinese primipara

BackgroundTo investigate the effect of different delivery modes and related obstetric factors on the short-term strength of the pelvic floor muscle after delivery in Chinese primipara.MethodsA total of 4769 healthy Chinese primiparas at postpartum 6–8 weeks were interviewed. According to the difference of delivery mode, the selected primiparas were divided into 2 groups, including cesarean delivery group containing 2020 and vaginal delivery group containing 2749. All the vaginal deliveries were further divided into 3 groups, including episiotomy group containing 2279, perineal laceration group containing 398, and forceps assisted group containing72. The scales of their pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strengths were examined by specially trained personnel using digital palpation (Modified Oxford scale:0–5 grade). According to participants’ willingness, if the PFM strength was weak (0 or 1 grade), at-home PFM training would be recommended and an electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback therapy would be conducted for them in hospital. Twelve weeks after delivery, the PFM strength would be measured again. For statistical analysis, t-test, one-way variance analysis, Chi-square analysis, Kruskal-Wallis test H, Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon test were carried out.ResultsThe PFM strength in cesarean delivery group was higher than in vaginal delivery group (p < 0.05). Among 3 vaginal delivery groups, the PFM strength in perineal laceration group was the highest (p < 0.05); however, there was no difference in PFM strength between episiotomy group and forceps assisted group (p>0.05). After accepting PFM training at home and therapy in hospital, 305 women showed increased PFM strength (p < 0.05).ConclusionsVaginal delivery is an independent risk factor causing the damage of PFM, and episiotomy may cause injury of PFM. Through PFM training at home and therapy in hospital, those damage will resume as soon as possible in the short-time period after delivery.

Effects of Bifidobacterium Breve Feeding Strategy and Delivery Modes on Experimental Allergic Rhinitis Mice.

BackgroundDifferent delivery modes may affect the susceptibility to allergic diseases. It is still unknown whether early intervention with probiotics would counteract this effect.ObjectivesThe effect of different delivery modes on immune status and nasal symptoms was investigated on established allergic rhinitis (AR) mouse model. In addition, the immunoregulatory effects and mechanisms of different feeding manners with Bifidobacterium breve(B. breve) were examined.MethodsLive lyophilized B. breve was orally administered to BALB/c mice born via vaginal delivery(VD) or cesarean delivery (CD) for 8 consecutive weeks, after which they were sensitized by ovalbumin(OVA) to establish experimental AR. Nasal symptoms, serum immunoglobulins, cytokines, splenic percentages of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T(Treg) cells and nasal eosinophil infiltration were evaluated.ResultsCompared with VD mice, mice delivered via CD demonstrated more serious nasal symptoms, higher concentrations of OVA-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E, more nasal eosinophils and lower percentages of splenic CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells after establishing experimental AR. These parameters were reversed by administering B. breves hortly after birth. However, the effect of B. breve did not differ between different delivery modes.ConclusionCD aggravates the nasal symptoms of AR mice compared to VD. This is the first report that oral administration of B. breve shortly after birth can significantly alleviate the symptoms of AR mice born via both deliveries, probably via activation of the regulatory capacity of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells.

Key words: Midwifery; Doula delivery; No protection of perineum birth; Birth process; Outcome

Dual-modal tracking of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells after myocardial infarction

Purpose:Results for implantation efficiency and effective improvement of cardiac function in the field of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are controversial. To attempt to clarify this debate, we utilized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and near-infrared optical imaging (OI) to explore the effects of different delivery modes of mesenchymal stem cells on cell retention time and cardiac function after myocardial infarction (MI).Methods:Rat MSCs were labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and 1, 1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindodicarbocyanine, 4-chlorobenzenesulfonate salt (DiD) for noninvasive cell tracking in a rat MI model. Rats underwent coronary artery ligation and were randomized into three experimental groups: intravenous (IV), intramyocardial (IM), and a control group. The first two groups referred to the route of delivery of the transplanted dual-labeled MSCs; whereas the control group was given an IV injection of serum-free medium one day post-MI. Cellular engraftment was determined 1 day and 7 days post cell delivery by measuring the iron and optical signals in explanted organs. Prussian blue staining and fluorescent microscopy were performed on histological sections for iron and DiD, respectively. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography on day 7.Results:The cardiac function of the IM group increased significantly compared to the IV and control groups at day 7. In the IM group, labeled cells were visualized in the infracted heart by serial MRI, and the intensity by OI was significantly higher on day 1. In the IV group, the heart signals were significantly attenuated by dual-modal tracking at two time points, but the lung signals in OI were significantly stronger than the IM group at both time points.Conclusion:IM injection of MSCs increased cell engraftment within infarcted hearts and improved cardiac function after MI. However, IV infusion has a low efficacy due to the cell trapping in the lung. Therefore, direct injection may provide an advantage over IV, with regard to retention of stem cells and protection of cardiac function.
