Objective: To analyze the effect of postpartum depression treated with high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with general acupuncture. Methods: Screening 45 patients with postpartum depression diagnosed in our hospital during the period from August 2019 to August 2022 as study subjects, according to the treatment plan chosen by the patients, we included 22 patients who received conventional conservative medication into the control group, and then 23 patients who received high-frequency repetitive cranial magnetic stimulation combined with general acupuncture into the observation group, followed by the Postpartum Depression Assessment Scale ( EPDS) to assess the extent of the condition of the patients in both groups before and after treatment, and finally to observe the symptom performance of the patients in both groups before and after treatment, as so as to evaluate the efficacy. Results: After the treatment, the EPDS scores of patients in both groups were significantly reduced, but the EPDS scores of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); the clinical symptoms of patients in the observation group improved significantly after the treatment, and the overall treatment effect was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy combined with general acupuncture, this treatment has a better therapeutic effect on postpartum depression, with strong clinical application value, and it has the significance of promoting reference.

“…For women, pregnancy not only produces physiological changes in various systems, but also leads to corresponding psychological changes, which often leads to mental disorders, especially depression [3]. Postpartum depression is a common postpartum complication, which is mainly manifested in maternal irritability, fear, timidity, emotional instability, uneasiness, anxiety, depression and excessive concern about their own and infant health during the puerperium [4,5]. It usually starts within two weeks after giving birth and gradually worsens.…”

Objectives: As a common postpartum complication, postpartum depression is an important social and health problem. Postpartum depression causes many changes in relevant indicators, such as inflammatory factors and thyroid hormones. However, the effects of inflammatory factors, thyroid hormones and xanthine on postpartum depression have not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to clarify the changes in the key indicators of postpartum depression. Material and methods:A total of 139 pregnant women were included in this study. Finally, only 56 patients completed the Edinburgh Depression Scale (EPDS) evaluation and blood sample collection. Results:In the current study, 34 (60.7%) patients were normal, 10 (17.9%) women were depressive tendency and 12 (21.4%) women developed depression. Among the serum indexes detected, the expression levels of thyroid function indexes T3, T4 and TSH, and inflammatory factors, such as hs-CRP, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, in the EPDS ≥ 9 group were slightly higher than those in the normal group (EPDS < 9). Xanthine levels in the depression group (EPDS ≥ 13) were significantly higher than normal group (EPDS < 9). Conclusions:Our findings suggest that xanthine levels in patients with postpartum depression were increased significantly, but there were no significant changes in thyroid function and some inflammatory indexes. Therefore, timely detection and intervention of maternal xanthine may help reduce the incidence of postpartum depression.

IntroductionPostpartum depression (PPD), a prevalent public health problem, is a debilitating mental disorder for which preventive interventions could yield dramatic benefits. However, viable approach focusing the prevention of PPD for caesarean section (CS) patients remains limited currently. In recent decades, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has gradually been implemented in CS and appears to be a potential and favourable preventive intervention for PPD, but systematic evidence on this issue is lacking. Therefore, a meta-analysis is designed to systematically explore the potential effect of ERAS on the prevention of PPD in CS patients.Methods and analysisMeta-analysis will be performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses statement. A systematic search across the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, grey literature and Wanfang Database will be conducted from inception to July 2023. Relevant studies investigating the association between ERAS and PPD will be included. Two reviewers will independently carry out the literature selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment. Disagreements will be resolved by group consensus. Statistical analyses will use the RevMan V.5.3 and STATA V.13 software. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system will be used to evaluate the strength of evidence.Ethics and disseminationThis study raises no ethical issues. The pending meta-analysis may provide reliable evidence supporting ERAS as a viable preventive option for PPD in CS patients, further providing a useful reference for the health authorities and promoting the future clinical practice in this field. The formal results of this study will be submitted to a professional journal for publication.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42023485929.
