Objective: To observe the clinical effect of Manlyman Spray combined with biofeedback therapy in the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE).Methods: A total of 60 primary premature ejaculation patients with stable sexual partners and regular sexual activity (≥1 times per week) from April 2021 to October 2022 were involved in the clinical observation, The patients' age is (34.3 ± 4.9) years old, and the course of the disease is (112.5 ± 65.5) months, and Manlyman Spray combined with biofeedback therapy was used to treat patients for 8 weeks. Manlyman Spray was sprayed 3 times on the surface of the penisqd for 4 weeks, and Biofeedback therapy is treated twice a week according to the AI setting module, for a total of 8 weeks. Before and 8 weeks after medication and at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal, the Intravaginal Ejaculation Latency Time (IELT), Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) scores and Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) scores were Obtained and compared. Results: After 8 weeks of treatment, the IELT of the patients was significantly prolonged ([351.4 ± 76.7] vs [87 ± 16.8],P<0.05) and at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal, the therapeutic effect still existed ([345.9 ± 80.3] vs [87 ± 16.8],P<0.05), the PEDT scores were significantly improved after treatment ([18.2 ± 1.1] vs [9.0 ± 1.4],P<0.05)and at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal([18.0 ± 1.2] vs [9.0 ± 1.4],P<0.05), and so were the CGIC scores ([13.4 ± 1.3] vs [3.3 ± 1.4],P<0.05, and [12.6 ± 1.6] vs [3.3 ± 1.4],P<0.05). Conclusion: The combination of Manlyman Spray and biofeedback therapy can effectively treat primary premature ejaculation, with a long duration of treatment and good safety, and the specific mechanism needs further study.
Animal studies demonstrated that paternal alcohol exposure before conception increases the risk of adverse neurodevelopment in offspring, but limited evidence is known in humans. Based on Shanghai-Minhang Birth Cohort Study, we aimed to examine associations between preconceptional paternal alcohol consumption and child behavioral problems. Paternal alcohol consumption during the last 3 months before conception was obtained by maternal report. Children born to fathers who drank alcohol at least once a week were classified as exposed. Child behavioral problems were assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) at age of 2, 4, and 6. Negative binomial regression was used to estimate the rate ratio (RR) of CBCL raw scores in 796 offspring. The risks of rating scores on anxious/depressed were increased by 33% (RR 1.33, 95% CI 1.09, 1.61) and 37% (RR 1.37, 95% CI 1.02, 1.84) among boys in the exposed group at age of 4 and 6, respectively. We also found that risks of somatic complaints were increased by 18% (RR 1.18, 95%CI 1.00, 1.40) and 65% (RR 1.65, 95%CI 1.14, 2.38) among girls in the exposed group at age of 4 and 6. The increased risks of sleep problems (RR 1.25, 95% CI 1.00, 1.55) in girls at age 4, thought problems (RR 1.32, 95% CI 1.01, 1.73) in girls at age 6, rule-breaking behaviors (RR 1.35, 95% CI 1.09, 1.67) in boys at age 6 were also found. The risks of CBCL scores on anxious/depressed and sleep problems in girls at age 4, as well as the risks of somatic complaints and rule-breaking behaviors in boys at age 6 increased with the level of exposure to paternal alcohol consumption. Our findings provided preliminary evidence that preconceptional paternal alcohol consumption may increase risks of child behavioral problems.
The effects of prenatal PBDEs exposure, especially at low levels, on childhood obesity are scarce. No previous studies have investigated the effect modification by breastfeeding on the associations of PBDEs exposure with childhood obesity. We aimed to investigate the associations of prenatal PBDEs exposure with adiposity measures in children up to 6 years, and the effect modification by breastfeeding. Participants were mother-child pairs from the Shanghai-Minhang Birth Cohort study. Nine PBDE congeners were assessed in cord blood plasma. We obtained information about child weight (0-6 years), height (0.5-6 years), arm circumference (0-6 years), and waist circumference (0-6 years) at each follow-up visit. Breastfeeding duration was collected when children were aged 1 year and was categorized as short (≤6 months) and adequate (>6 months). Multiple linear regression models were used to examine the associations of PBDE concentrations with adiposity measures of the children at each age. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were used to estimate the overall associations of PBDEs exposure with adiposity measures. We examined the effect modification by breastfeeding using stratified analyses and by including interaction terms into GEE models. For boys, there was a general profile of positive associations of several PBDE congeners exposure with adiposity measures. Especially, boys with higher BDE-153 concentration had higher adiposity measures at each time point. For girls, we also found positive associations of BDE-100 and -153 exposure with adiposity measures. The GEE models showed consistent patterns for BDE-153 in boys and for BDE-100 and -153 in girls. In breastfeeding-stratified analyses, stronger associations of PBDEs exposure with adiposity measures were generally found in children who were shortly breastfed. Our findings suggest that prenatal exposure to PBDEs at low levels may influence childhood adiposity measures, and the potential effects of PBDEs were attenuated by adequate breastfeeding.
Findings from epidemiological studies on the associations between prenatal perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) exposure and children's neurodevelopment were inconclusive, and most studies did not account for the co-exposure to multiple PFASs with strong inter-correlations. The present study aimed to assess the effects of prenatal multiple PFAS exposure on children's neurobehavioral development based on 614 mother-infant pairs in the Shanghai-Minhang Birth Cohort Study. Eight PFAS concentrations were measured in maternal plasma at 12-16 weeks of gestation. Children's neurobehavioral development at 2 and 4 years of age was assessed by the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1.5-5. In Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) analyses that could address the inter-correlations between multiple PFASs, PFAS mixture appeared to be associated with fewer Somatic Complaints and more Externalizing Problems in boys, but more Somatic Complaints and Sleep Problems in girls. There were suggestive associations of PFNA and PFOS with decreased risk of Somatic Complaints and of PFUdA and PFTrDA with increased risk of Externalizing Problems in boys; trends of increased risk in girls were observed between PFUdA and Somatic Complaints and between PFTrDA and Sleep Problems. Overall, we found no clear evidence that prenatal exposure to PFASs had negative effects on neurobehavioral development in children. However, the modest associations still suggested the potential developmental neurotoxicity of prenatal PFAS exposure.
IMPORTANCE The associations of maternal history of spontaneous abortion (SA) and stillbirth with congenital heart disease (CHD) remain elusive. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the associations of maternal history of pregnancy loss with CHD in offspring and the role of maternal type 2 diabetes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This population-based cohort study included singleton live offspring born between January 1, 1977, and December 31, 2016, identified through Danish national health registries. Statistical analysis was performed from October 1, 2019, through September 1, 2021. EXPOSURES Maternal history of SA, with frequency varying from 1 or 2 to 3 or more episodes, and maternal history of single and multiple stillbirths. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Overall CHD identified by hospital diagnosis. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of CHD. Diabetes was evaluated as a potential confounder and a potential effect modifier. RESULTS Among 1 642 534 included offspring (mean [SD] age, 14.11 [8.39] years; 843 265 male [51.35%]), 246 669 (15.02%) were born to mothers with a history of SA and 9750 (0.59%) were born to mothers with a history of stillbirth. The HRs of CHD were 1.16 (95% CI, 1.13-1.20) for offspring with a maternal history of SA and 1.49 (95% CI, 1.32-1.68) for offspring with a maternal history of stillbirth. Significant dose-response associations were observed among offspring with a maternal history of 3 or more episodes of SA (HR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.39-1.84) and those with maternal history of multiple stillbirths (HR, 2.75; 95% CI, 1.63-4.65). If only inpatient CHD cases were included, the risk of CHD was higher than that found in the main analysis, with HRs of 1.24 (95% CI, 1.19-1.30) for maternal history of SA and 1.78 (95% CI, 1.51-2.11) for maternal history of stillbirth. The observed associations were strengthened by maternal prepregnancy type 2 diabetes (HR for maternal history of SA, 1.65 [95% CI, 1.37-1.97]; HR for maternal history of stillbirth, 1.74 [95% CI, 1.06-2.85]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These findings suggest that offspring born to mothers with a previous SA or stillbirth, especially multiple episodes, or with prepregnancy type 2 diabetes were at a higher risk of being diagnosed with CHD. These findings may help identify women at increased risk in whom detailed fetal heart assessment may be cost-effective and highlight the importance of screening for type 2 diabetes in women of reproductive age.
BackgroundEvidence from animal studies has indicated that neonatal thyroid function is vital for the reproductive development. Anogenital distance (AGD), a sensitive biomarker of the fetal hormonal milieu, can be used to predict adult reproductive disorders. However, few human studies have examined the association between neonatal thyroid function and AGD. We aimed to explore their associations in a birth cohort study.MethodsConcentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid hormones (THs), including total triiodothyronine (TT3), total thyroxine (TT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), and free thyroxine (FT4) were measured in cord plasma in the Shanghai-Minhang Birth Cohort. The offspring AGD (AGDAP [anus–penis] and AGDAS [anus–scrotum] for boys and AGDAC [anus–clitoris] and AGDAF [anus–fourchette] for girls), body weight and anogenital index (AGI = AGD/weight [mm/kg]) were obtained at each follow-up visit. In total, 344 children (194 boys and 150 girls) with cord plasma concentrations of THs and TSH and at least one AGD measurement at birth and at 6, 12, and 48 months of age were included. Multiple linear regression and generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were used to examine the associations of cord plasma concentrations of THs and TSH with AGI.ResultsMultiple linear regression models showed inverse associations of TT4, FT3, and FT4 with female AGI, although statistical significance was only reached at birth, 6 and 48 months of age. These associations were also found in GEE models: higher TT4 and FT4 concentrations were associated with lower AGIAC (TT4: β = -0.27, 95% CI: -0.50, -0.03 for middle vs. lowest tertile; FT4: β = -0.38, 95% CI: -0.61, -0.16 for middle and β = -0.30, 95% CI: -0.55, -0.04 for highest vs. lowest tertile). Besides, girls with the highest tertile of FT3 concentrations had lower AGIAF than those with the lowest tertile (the highest vs. lowest tertile: β = -0.22, 95% CI: -0.36, -0.08). Positive associations between TSH and AGI at birth and at 12 months of age were observed in boys.ConclusionsThis study provides further evidence on the effects of neonatal thyroid function on reproductive development at an early life stage.
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of autologous bone marrow nucleated cell transplantation on ovarian dysfunction-related diseases.Methods:From September 2020 to August 2021, we conducted a before-after study in Shanghai Institute of Planned Parenthood Research Hospital and Shanghai New Hongqiao International Medical Center. A total of 28 patients with premature ovarian insufficiency, perimenopausal syndrome or repeated assisted reproduction failure were treated with ultrasound-guided autologous bone marrow nucleated cell transplantation into the ovaries. Clinical efficacy was evaluated by comparing the patients' self-reported symptoms, endometrial thickness, bilateral ovarian volume, the number of bilateral ovarian follicles, the maximum diameter of bilateral ovarian follicles, and the level of plasma estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, prolactin, and testosterone.Results:After autologous bone marrow nucleated cell transplantation, the number of bilateral ovarian follicles and the maximum diameter of bilateral ovarian follicles statistically significantly increased by an average of 1.26±2.12 ( P=0.005) and (5.40±8.92) mm ( P=0.006), respectively. Endometrial thickness and bilateral ovarian volume increased after treatment although without statistically significance (all P>0.05). However, the ovarian volume, the number of follicles, and the maximum diameter of follicles with greater changes between the left and right sides of the treatment, were found to statistically significantly increase after treatment ( P=0.007, P<0.001, P=0.002). Besides, the levels of FSH, LH, progesterone, and prolactin decreased with no statistical significance (all P>0.05). The stratified analysis of disease types found that endometrial thickness, the number of bilateral ovarian follicles, and the maximum diameter of bilateral ovarian follicles after treatment tended to increase, but only the number of bilateral follicles and the maximum diameter of bilateral ovarian follicles in patients with perimenopausal syndrome showed statistical significance ( P=0.008, P=0.047). Conclusion:The present study suggested that autologous bone marrow nuclear cell therapy could improve ovarian function to some extent, and is expected to be a new treatment method for patients with premature ovarian insufficiency, perimenopausal syndrome, and repeated assisted reproduction failure. However, further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to corroborate the findings.

Objective: To evaluate the results of general intervention on condom use in women of reproductive age and to explore influential factors related to condom use. Methods: A community-based intervention study was conducted in Xuhui District, Shanghai. Four streets (Fenglin, Hunan, Hongmei and Changqiao) were selected by cluster sampling. In the intervention group, health education and service of condom use were implemented, while routine family planning program was conducted in the control group. Knowledge about reproductive tract infection and condom practices were compared before and after the intervention. Results: After the project, the increase of condom use frequency in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group (OR=1.90, 95%CI: 1.34-2.45). The women aged from 30 to 40 years old had a higher use of condom than those who were less than 30 years old after intervention. The increase in the condom use after intervention was low among the women who had a higher use of condom at the start, and had elder husbands and husbands who had higher incomes. Conclusion: It is an effective way to conduct a community-based intervention to increase women's condom use frequency. The women's use of condom at the baseline and their age, their husbands' age and incomes had impact on intervention effects.
