1.Study on correlation between serum Omentin-1 and gestational diabetes mellitus
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2017;38(3):291-294
Objective To observe the change of serum Omentin-1 in gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and to investigate its clinical significance.Methods Serum Omentin-1 level was detected in 85 cases of GDM and 85 matched cases of normal glucose tol-erance(NGT)by ELISA,the glycolipids biochemical indexes,inflammation indexes and fasting insulin (FINS)level were simultane-ous detected,then the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR)was calculated in both groups.Results The levels of prenatal prepreg-nant BMI,FPG,hs-CRP,blood lipids,blood glucose,FINS and HOMA-IR in the GDM group were significantly higher than those in the NGT group,while serum Omentin-1 level was obviously lower than that in the NGT group,difference was statistically signifi-cant (P<0.05);when prenatal obesity and/or HOMA-IR≥2,the serum Omentin-1 levels was significantly decreased.Serum Omentin-1 level had significant positive correlation with HDL,and negative correlation with prepregnant BMI,prenatal BMI,FPG, FINS and HOMA-IR.The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that prepregnant BMI,TG,FPG and FINS were independ-ent influencing factors of serum Omentin-1 in GDM.Conclusion Serum Omentin-1 is associated with GDM closely,which can re-flect the degrees of sugar,lipid metabolic disorder and insulin resistance in pregnant women,and may be involved in the occurrence and development of GDM.

AIM: The synergistic effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and endothelin- 1 (ET-1 ) on rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) proliferation was observed. The possible mechanism of the synergism was also investigated. METHODS: BrdU incorporation and cell counting method were adopted to value the pro - proliferative effect of VSMC. Western- blotting was used to observe the variation of bFGF and FGFR - 1 isoforms expression. RESULTS: bFGF and ET- 1 could promote VSMC proliferation separately, and synergistically in combination. The synergism was dose - and time - dependent. ET- 1 increased all the three bFGF isoforms and FGFR - 1 protein level in dose - and time- dependent manner. In addition, after exhaustion of intracellular PKC, the upregulation effects of ET- 1 on bFGF and FGFR - 1 expressions in VSMC both inclined. CONCLUSION: bFGF and ET- 1 had synergistic effect on VSMC proliferation. ET- 1 may increase the responsiveness of VSMC to bFGF through modulation of bFGF isoforms together with FGFR - 1, which was PKC - dependent.

AIM: The role of protein kinase C(PKC) in the effect of Interleukin-6(IL-6) on basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) expression was investigated in rat vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC). METHODS: Western-blotting was adopted to observe the variation of bFGF and its receptor type I isoforms expression. RESULTS: IL-6 increased all the three basic fibroblast growth factor isoforms in a dose-dependent (0-10.0 ?g/L) manner. The upregulatory activities peaked at 24 h as demonstrated . In addition, after exhaustion of intracellular phorbol ester-sensitive PKC, the upregulatory effects of IL-6 on bFGF exprssion in VSMC declined ( P

Objective:To study the efficacy and immunoregulation of pidotimod combined with routine treatment in the children with recurrent respiratory tract infections. Methods:Totally 114 cases of children with recurrent respiratory tract infections were divid-ed into the control group and the treatment group according to the sequence of hospitalization. The 58 patients in the control group re-ceived the conventional treatment, while the 56 patients in the treatment group were given pidotimod additionally. After two-month treatment, all the children were given 1 -6-month follow-up, and the symptom disappearance time, clinical efficacy, recurrence, physiological indices and change of immunological function in the two groups were observed and compared. Results:The disappearance time of symptom and lung physical signs in the observation group was much shorter than that in the control group (P<0. 05);the total effective rate of the observation group was 92. 86%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (67. 24%, P <0. 001). The number of upper and lower respiratory tract infections in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the con-trol group (P<0. 05). After the treatment, the immune parameters in the observation group were significantly improved (P<0. 01), which were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The immune parameters before and after the treatment in the control group showed no statistically significant difference (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Pidotimod combined with routine treatment in the children with recurrent respiratory tract infections exhibits promising efficacy, which can improve immunity effectively.

Objective To investigate the changes in serum levels of nitric oxide ( NO) and endothelin ( ET) in type 2 diabetes patients with vascular complications, and to analyze the relationship between these levels and risk factors.Method We selected 98 cases of type 2 diabetes patients.Based on the grouping criteria, the patients were divided into diabetic patients with vascular complications ( group A,49 cases) and those without ( group B,49 cases) .In addition, 44 age-and body mass index-matched healthy cases were selected for control(group C).Height, weight, blood pressure, duration of diabetes, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c), blood lipids, and serum levels of NO and ET-1 of all the patients were recorded.Results The NO levels of the two groups with diabetes mellitus were significantly lower than in group C[(43.87 ±12.05)and (53.29 ±11.75)μmol/L versus (66.08 ±16.48)μmol/L, P<0.01], while the ET-1 levels of the two groups with diabetes mellitus were significantly higher [(100.25 ±20.34) and (77.55 ±14.84) versus (53.62 ±8.40)ng/L, P<0.01] than those of the group C.The NO levels of group A were significantly lower than in group B [(43.87 ±12.05) versus (53.29 ±11.75)μmol/L, P<0.01].Moreover, the ET-1 levels of the group A were significantly higher than in group B [(100.25 ±20.34) versus (77.55 ±14.84)ng/L, P<0.01].Between the two diabetic groups, group A showed significantly higher systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), HbA1c, and course than group B (P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between SBP, DBP, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and NO a positive correlation between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) and NO, a negative correlation between HDL-C and ET-1, and a positive correlation between SBP,LDL-C, uric acid, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and ET-1.Conclusion The serum levels of NO and ET-1 in diabetic patients are evidently abnormal.Vascular endothelium injury will become more serious in patients with complications.Therefore, the serum levels of NO and ET-1 in diabetic patients are correlated with control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels.
