Therapeutic effect of manual massage on early postpartum rectus abdominis separation and postpartum depression.

Background: Rectus abdominis separation (DRA) affects pelvic stability and body image. No studies have explored the effects of manual massage on early postpartum DRA and postpartum depression.

Aim: To analyze the curative effect of massage on early postpartum DRA and its impact on postpartum depression and thus its ability promote the overall psychosomatic rehabilitation of postpartum women.

Small Extracellular Vesicles Secreted by Peri-urethral Tissues Regulate Fibroblast Function and Contribute to the Pathogenesis of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the existence of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in peri-urethral tissues and the role of abnormal expression of sEVs in the pathogenesis of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Methods: sEVs were extracted from peri-urethral vaginal wall tissues using differential centrifugation and were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The number of sEVs and their protein contents were compared between SUI and control groups using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay.

Use of a dose-response model to guide future clinical trial of benvitimod cream to treat mild and moderate psoriasis.

Objective: To investigate the time-dose-response relationship of benvitimod cream after topical administration in patients with mild and moderate psoriasis vulgaris for dosage regimen exploring.

Methods: 36 patients with mild and moderate psoriasis vulgaris were randomly assigned to receive 0.5%, 1.

A Novel Molecular Cytogenetic Finding of Leiomyomatosis Peritonealis Disseminata.

Background: Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare disease characterised by the subperitoneal proliferation of smooth muscle cells that form benign nodules. A few studies have aimed to reveal the pathogenesis of LPD without reaching a clear explanation.

Methods: Karyotype analysis and array-comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) of a human LPD case were performed to evaluate the role of chromosomal abnormalities in LPD pathogenesis.

Gestational thyroid reference intervals in antibody-negative Chinese women.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to establish gestation-specific reference intervals (GRIs) for thyroid function assays in pregnant Chinese women with ARCHITECT and compare them to other GRI studies.

Design And Method: Thyroid antibody negative pregnant Chinese women were enrolled and followed to establish GRIs for thyroid function by use of the Abbott ARCHITECT i2000SR analyzer (N=1409). Samples from 360 non-pregnant Chinese women served as controls.

Long-term outcomes of transvestibular vaginoplasty with pelvic peritoneum in 182 patients with Rokitansky's syndrome.

Objective: To evaluate the technical feasibility and anatomical and functional outcomes of one-stage transvestibular vaginoplasty with pelvic peritoneum for the patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.

Design: A retrospective review of prospectively collected data.

Setting: A university hospital.
