Postpartum infections account for a significant, and often preventable, portion of the global healthcare burden. Puerperal sepsis is one of the top five causes of maternal deaths worldwide and accounts for 10% - 15% of deaths in the postpartum period. Postpartum infections also present a significant social burden: they increase maternal anxiety and the risk of postpartum depression, interfere with bonding, and negatively impact breastfeeding. To prevent complications and improve outcomes, the evaluation of these infections must be accurate and prompt. This review provided a summary of causes, clinical presentation, laboratory tests, imaging modalities, treatment options, complications, and prognosis of puerperal and postpartum infections following cesarean section. Future directions in the evaluation of these infections were also discussed, including the development of novel diagnostic assays, the use of point-of-care testing and risk factors responsible for the onset of infections. This review emphasized the significance of early diagnosis and prompted treatment of these infections in order to prevent complications and enhance maternal and neonatal outcomes. This article also provided an exhaustive overview of the evaluation and management of puerperal and postpartum infections and the clinical outcome of infections for both mother and neonate.展开更多

The image features and accuracy of the diagnosis were observed.Results: after examination, the distance between the scar site and the internal cervical of the test group was closer than that of the control group, and the proportion of the posterior uterus in the test group was much higher than that in the control group. At the same time, there was no significant difference in the size of uterus, endometrial thickness, and follicular diameter between the two groups of parturients after the color ultrasound examination.Conclusion: for the poor healing uterus incision scar parts after cesarean section. The combination of vaginal and abdominal color Doppler ultrasonography has high accuracy and has a certain guiding role in clinical treatment. It can be widely applied in clinic.展开更多

Methods: Puerperae who underwent cesarean section and got postoperative incision infection in Maternal and Child Health Care in Lintong between January 2014 and December 2016 were selected as the infection group of the research, and puerperae who underwent cesarean section and were without postoperative incision infection in Maternal and Child Health Care in Lintong during the same period were selected as the control group of the research. The contents of inflammatory factors and stress hormones in serum as well as the contents of immune cells and the levels of erythrocyte immunity indexes in peripheral blood were measured. Results:TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, Cor, NE, INS and AT-II contents in serum of infection group were significantly higher than those of control group;CD3+CD4+T cell and CD16+CD25+NK cell contents as well as DTER, ATER, NTER and FEER levels in peripheral blood were lower than those of control group whereas CD3+CD8+T cell content and FEIR level were higher than those of control group. TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and IL-8 contents in serum of infection group were negatively correlated with CD3+CD4+T cell and CD16+CD25+NK cell contents as well as DTER, ATER, NTER and FEER levels in peripheral blood, and positively correlated with CD3+CD8+T cell content and FEIR level in peripheral blood as well as Cor, NE, INS and AT-II contents in serum. Conclusion: The abnormal activation of inflammatory response and the abnormal secretion of inflammatory factors are closely related to the immune response disorder and stress response activation.展开更多
