Objective To optimize an integration technique for extracting the liposoluble and water-soluble components of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Methods Salvianolic acid B and Tanshinone ⅡA were selected as marker components and determined by HPLC to optimize the integration extract process of Salvia miltiorrhiza by orthogonal test. Results The liposoluble and water-soluble active components of Salvia miltiorrhiza were efficiently extracted by the optimum integration technique. The integration technique for extracting was obtained:Salvia miltiorrhiza was added with 8 times alcohol of 70% and extracted 1 hour for 2 times. Conclusion The liposoluble and water-soluble active components of Salvia miltiorrhiza can be extracted simultaneously by the novel extraction process which was reasonable and feasible. This new technique can be employed to reduce time, working and energy, and be suitable for the morden production.

Objective To investigate whether area under the curve (AUC) of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) could work as a predictor of outcomes of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on condition that blood glucose is controlled. Methods A total of 1 796 women who had a standard antenatal care in Peking University First Hospital and gave single live births from July 1, 2011 to December 31,2 013 were included.They should be diagnosed of GDM by the diagnosis criteria of gestational diabetes published by the Ministry of Health of PRC and diabetes pre-pregnancy excluded. Data were analyzed with SPSS 17.0, grouping by AUC. Results (1)Women with higher AUC had a rising trend of age and a downward trend of gestational weight gain, however, not statistically significant [specifically, in the four group of less than 15.00 mmol·L-1·h-1, 15.00 to 16.79 mmol · L-1 · h-1, 16.80 to 17.99 mmol · L-1 · h-1 and 18.00 mmol · L-1 · h-1 or more, gestational weight gain was (15.3±5.2), (14.1±4.8), (13.5±4.7) and (13.1±4.8) kg]. The prevalence of macrosomia raised while AUC increased. Those with an AUC of lower than 15.00 (mmol·L-1·h-1) had a lower risk of macrosomia (P=0.04) . But those with an AUC of 18.00 (mmol·L-1·h-1) or more had a higher risk of macrosomia (P=0.02). There was a rising trend in premature birth and preeclampsia with AUC increasing but not significant (the prevalence of premature birth was 4.38%, 5.36%, 7.71%and 7.94%while that of preeclampsia was 2.85%, 4.69%, 4.67% and 5.08% in these four groups).(2)The prevalence of macrosomia was 12.76% (54/423) when overweight pre-pregnancy ,significantly higher compared with 5.87%(65/1 107) in normal group. The prevalence of preeclampsia was 5.91%(25/423) and 3.34%(37/1 107) in those two groups, which was also significantly different. The obese group had a statistically highest prevalence of preeclampsia of 9.23%(12/130). (3)AUC (P<0.05, OR=1.113, 95%CI:1.008-1.218), as well as gestational weight gain (P<0.05, OR=1.520, 95%CI:1.279-1.806) and pre-pregnancy BMI (P<0.05, OR=1.183, 95%CI:1.125-1.243) made a difference in the prevalence of macrosomia. Meanwhile, pre-pregnancy BMI made sense in the prevalence of premature labor (P<0.05, OR=1.059, 95%CI:1.003-1.119) and preeclampsia (P<0.01, OR=1.202, 95%CI:1.123-1.286). Conclusions AUC, as well as pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain have a significant impact on outcomes of GDM, macrosomia especially, though blood glucose is controlled. Meanwhile, AUC might be considered as a predictor of macrosomia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) on lipid variations of first and third trimester.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 2 593 singleton pregnant women without diabetes from 15 hospitals in Beijing from June 20 to November 30 in 2013. Serum lipid levels were determined in all of these women at the first trimester (<14 weeks) and the third trimester (≥28 weeks). Demographic data and medical information were collected individually through questionnaires. The recruited gravidas were divided into normal pre-pregnant BMI group (BMI<25) and pre-pregnant overweight and obese group (BMI≥25) according to recommendations of the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Based on the same recommendations on normal GWG, the pregnant women in the two groups were further assigned to two subgroups including normal GWG and over GWG group. The serum lipid levels in both first and third trimester and the increases from first to third trimester were compared between the normal and abnormal BMI groups with two independent samplet-test.Results(1) The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) in the third trimester were all significantly higher than those in the first trimester in the normal BMI group [(6.47±1.17) vs (4.63±0.80), (3.14±1.19) vs (1.22±0.70), (1.94±0.44) vs (1.85±0.49) and (3.56±1.00) vs (2.29±0.67) mmol/L,t=-61.250,-65.909,-6.448 and-49.952, allP<0.01]. And the same results were shown in the abnormal BMI group [(6.20±1.14) vs (4.75±0.88), (3.31±1.20) vs (1.44±0.70), (1.86±0.44) vs (1.65±0.37) and (3.30±0.89) vs (2.51±0.82) mmol/L, t=-18.756,-25.165,-6.905 and-12.191,allP<0.01]. Significant differences were identified between the normal and abnormal pre-pregnant BMI groups both in first and third trimester (allP<0.05). (2) The increases of TC from early to late pregnancy in the abnormal BMI group was lower than that in the normal BMI group [(1.45±1.01) vs (1.84±1.02) mmol/L,t=6.664,P<0.01], but the increase of HDL-C was higher [(0.21±0.39) vs (0.09±0.51) mmol/L,t=-4.301,P<0.01]. (3) In the normal BMI group, the increase of TC and HDL-C between the third and the first trimester was lower in the over GWG subgroups than in the normal GWG subgroups [(1.77±0.96) vs (1.89±1.05) mmo/L,t=-2.802,P=0.005; (0.06±0.41) vs (0.12±0.58) mmo/L,t=-2.588,P=0.010], but the increase of TG was higher [(2.00±1.07) vs (1.86± 1.18) mmo/L,t=3.015,P=0.003]. While in the abnormal BMI group, smaller increase of HDL-C was found in the over GWG subgroup than in the normal GWG subgroup [(0.17±0.35) vs (0.29±0.44) mmo/L,t=-2.664, P=0.008].ConclusionsThe lipid levels during pregnancy are significantly higher in late pregnancy than in early pregnancy. Pre-pregnancy BMI has much more effect on lipid variations during pregnancy than GWG, which primarily affect the lipid levels of women with normal pre-pregnancy BMI.

Objective:
To explore the characteristics of maternal glucose and lipid metabolism in twin pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods:
The clinical features of twin and singleton pregnancies complicated by GDM, which delivered in Peking University First Hospital from January 1st, 2012 to December 31st, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 286 twin pregnancies with GDM (GDM-T group) were collected, and 572 singleton pregnancies complicated by GDM (GDM-S group) which were matched by delivery time in a ratio of 1∶2 among all singleton pregnancies with GDM. The characteristics of maternal glucolipid metabolism in the second trimesters of pregnancy was compared between two groups.
Results:
(1) Compared with GDM-S group, the maternal delivery age were lower [(32±4), (33±4) years] and prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) were higher [(24±4), (23±4) kg/m2] in GDM-T group, the differences were statistically significant (all

Objective To investigate the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and perinatal outcome in Beijing in 2013. Methods Fifteen hospitals in Beijing were selected by systematic and cluster sampling method. Clinical data of 15 194 pregnant women who attended prenatal care and delivered in these hospitals between June 20 and November 30, 2013 were collected. And 2 987 pregnant women were diagnosed with GDM (GDM group), and 11 999 had no diabetes (non-GDM group). The incidence of GDM, perinatal outcome and complications in mother and infant were compared between the two groups. Two independent samples t-test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results The incidence of GDM in Beijing was 19.7%(2 987/15 194). The average age was much higher in GDM group than in non-GDM group [(29.4±4.5) vs (28.0±4.2) years, t=285.705, P<0.05]. The pre-pregnancy weight was much higher in GDM group than in non-GDM group [(59.5±10.2) vs (56.1±8.6) kg, t=352.565, P<0.05]. The incidence of GDM in pre-pregnancy overweight and obese women [29.9%(664/2 230) and 38.8%(250/664)] was much higher than in normal pre-pregnancy weight and low pre-pregnancy weight women [18.0%(1 777/9 890) and 12.9%(273/2 118)] (χ2=296.843, P<0.05). The incidence of GDM in pluripara was higher than in primipara [21.2% (910/4 298) vs 19.4%(2 077/10 688),χ2=5.813, P<0.05]. The incidence of GDM in gradeⅢhospitals was higher than in grade Ⅱ hospitals [21.1% (1 654/7 849) vs 18.7% (1 333/7 173), χ2=13.440, P<0.05]; and the incidence in urban areas was higher than in rural areas [21.3%(2 028/9 521) vs 17.1%(896/5 249),χ2=39.137, P<0.05]. The rate of cesarean section was 47.1%(1 407/2 987) in GDM group, significantly higher than in non-GDM group [39.8% (4 782/11 999)] (χ2=72.204, P<0.05). The incidences of preterm labor [7.3%(217/2 987)], hypertensive disorders [6.3%(185/2 987)], large-for-gestational-age infants [9.2%(275/2 987)], macrosomia [9.5%(283/2 987)] and neonatal ward admission [8.6%(258/2 987)] were all significantly higher in GDM group than in non-GDM group [5.7%(686/11 999), 3.9%(454/11 999), 5.8%(694/11 999), 7.2%(861/11 999), and 6.5%(778/11 999), respectively] (χ2=10.117, 34.371, 79.378, 20.346 and 17.236, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence of GDM is still high in Beijing, and advanced maternal age and pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity are high risk factors for GDM. The rate of preterm labor, hypertensive disorders, and macrosomia in GDM group is higher than in normal fasting glucose group. Systematic obstetric care for GDM should be intensified in Beijing.

Objective To assess the clinical value of preoperative CT-guided microcoil positioning of small solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) in assisting video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) procedure to more quickly and more precisely remove small pulmonary lesions.Methods The clinical data of 90 patients with SPN,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from June 2014 to May 2016 to receive VATS,were retrospective analyzed.Preoperative CT-guided microcoil positioning of SPN was employed in 45 patients (group A),while other 45 patients (group B) did not receive preoperative positioning of SPN.The pulmonary lobar wedge resection time,the transfer rate of changing to open chest operation,postoperative hospitalization time,the success rate of microcoil positioning of SPN,complications,etc.of both groups were statistically analyzed.The safety of preoperative CT-guided microcoil positioning of SPN was evaluated,and its benefit-enhancing value for VATS was discussed.Results In group A,the success rate of VATS was 100% and the success rate of SPN positioning was 95.6%.Postoperative complications included pneumothorax (n=5),pulmonay surface hemorrhage (n=6),and dislodgement of microcoil (n=2).In group B,the success rate of VATS was 84.4% and the transfer rate of changing to open chest operation was 15.6%.In group A,the manipulation time of VATS was (17.7±2.8) min,the postoperative hospitalization time was (6.2±1.7) days,and the transfer rate of changing to open chest operation was 0%,which were strikingly lower than those in group B;the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Preoperative CT-guided microcoil positioning of small SPN can assist VATS procedure to remove small pulmonary lesions more quickly and more precisely,it can effectively reduce the transfer rate of changing to open chest operation,shorten the manipulation time of VATS as well as the postoperative hospitalization time.
