Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the link between changes in serum ferritin levels during pregnancy and the occurrence of chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis among a large group of pregnant women in Fujian, China.
  • The research included data from 8506 clinical records, finding a significant difference in serum ferritin levels between those with confirmed chorioamnionitis and those without, while no significant difference was noted for neonatal sepsis.
  • The results suggest that while alterations in serum ferritin may serve as a predictor for chorioamnionitis during pregnancy, they do not effectively indicate the risk of neonatal sepsis.

To investigate the clinical value of cervical secretion culture in pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) in predicting maternal and fetal outcomes. We retrospectively reviewed clinical records of pregnant women who underwent obstetric examination and delivered in Fujian Maternal and Child Healthcare from December 2013 to December 2016. Pregnant women with a clear diagnosis of PROM, who underwent cervical secretion culture immediately after hospital admission were selected for the study.

Objective: To explore the relationship between HBV-DNA load and the offspring vertical transmission of HBV.

Methods: 138 families who had taken the examination between August 2009 and November 2011 but the HBsAg of the housewife was negative, were chosen as research objects. Blood from the couples and sperms from the husbands during pregnancy were followed and collected for detection on related indicators.

Objective: To explore the maternal-fetal transmission patterns and interventional methods of syphilis during pregnancy.

Methods: A total of 847 cases of syphilis in pregnancy confirmed by rapid plasma reagin test (RPR) and treponema pallidum hemoagglutination test (TPHA) were treated with procaine benzylpenicillin intramuscular injection, and with erythrocin oral medication if hypersensitive to benzylpenicillin.

Objective: To study the prevalence and principal rules of women with syphilis during pregnancy and to develop relative methods to prevent maternal-fetal transmission.

Methods: A nested case control study on epidemiologic research was used based on review and preview methods on prevention and cure. Targeting pregnant women with syphilis diagnosed during premarital or pregnancy stages and were identified through rapid plasma reagin test (RPR) but confirmed by treponema pallidum test (TP),a total number of 339 women receiving treatment, intervention and being followed throughout the pregnant and neonatal periods.
