Objective To discuss the effect of C?reactive protein(CRP) levels in pregnant women with gestational metabolic syndrome ( GMS ) , and to analyze the risk factors of GMS. Methods Seventy pregnant women with GMS received regular check and hospital delivery in Yuebei People’ s Hospital Affiliated to Shantou University from May 2012 to May 2015 were selected as study group,and 100 normal pregnant women as control group. Information regarding age,gestational weeks,admission blood pressure,height and body mass index( BMI) before pregnancy was recorded. Biochemical indicators including C?reactive protein ( CRP ) , fasting plasma glu?cose(FPG),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein(LDL?C),high density lipoprotein ( HDL?C) were tested. The correlation between CRP and GMS was calculated and the risk factors of GMS were analyzed. According to CRP levels,all pregnant women were divided into four groups to based on quartile method subjects, and the relationship of CRP levels and the incidence of GMS were evaluated between four groups. Results ( 1) The age,pre?pregnancy BMI,baseline blood pressure of GMS group were higher,gestation?al weeks was smaller than the control group(P<0. 05). (2)The CRP,FPG,TC,TG,LDL?C of women with GMS were higher than those of normal women((12. 6±32. 9) mg/L vs. (0. 39±0. 37) mg/L,(6. 04±1. 73) mmol/L vs. (4. 64±0. 29) mmol/L,(6. 77±2. 68) mmol/L vs. (4. 49±0. 57) mmol/L,(4. 54±2. 84) mmol/L vs. (2. 56±0. 90) mmol/L,(3. 69±1. 25) mmol/L vs. (2. 65±0. 51) mmol/L),and the differences were statistical?ly significant( t=2. 21,6. 72,6. 97,5. 63,6. 61;P<0. 05) ,while there was no significant difference about HDL?C level between the two groups(P>0. 05). (3)Multiple regression analysis showed that the risk factors of GMS were age,pre?pregnancy BMI,CRP,TG and TC(OR 1. 530(1. 095?2. 136),18. 427(4. 402?77. 142),4. 917 (1. 928?12. 537),2. 665(1. 379?5. 149),4. 114(2. 304?7. 348),P<0. 01),BMI and TC were the significant risk factors of GMS( P=0. 000) ,while the gestational weeks,LDL?C seemed to had less importance in identifying GMS(P>0. 05). (4)According to CRP levels,the incidence rate of GMS was 20. 69%,42. 67%,56. 06% and 72. 00%(χ2=15. 28,P=0. 002) . When CRP≥20. 0 mg/L,the incidence rate of GMS was significantly higher than the other three groups, and there were statistically differences between different groups ( P<0. 01 ) . Conclusion There are pre pregnancy overweight and / or obesity,abnormal glucose metabolism,blood pres?sure,lipid metabolism disorders such as multiple metabolic abnormalities aggregation in pregnant women with GMS. BMI and TC are the significantly risk factors for GMS. The gestational weeks,HDL?C and LDL?C have less importance in identifying GMS. The blood serum CRP is closely related to GMS and involved in the pathogenesis of GMS. THe increase of CRP level is one of the important signs of the onset and progression of GMS.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of caleitriol,training on balance and lower extremity muscle strength on fall risk of postmenopausal women with osleoporosis or osteopenia.Methods A total of 200 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia,whose balance test confirmed higher fall risk,were randondy assigned to group A or B.Those of group A received the following intervention:( 1 ) 0.25 μg calcitriol,QD; (2) general information on fall and osteoporosis; (3) balance training; (4) lower extremity muscle strength exercises.Those of group B were only treated with 0.25 μg calcitriol.All the participants were supplemented with 600 mg/d calcium and 125 IU/d vitamin D.Fall index,bone mineral density,serum levels of calcium and phosphorus,and adverse reactions were record.Results After 3 months' intervention,the fall index of both groups was significantly decreased ( group A:t =2.16,P<0.05 ; group B:t =2.08,P<0.05 ).After 6 months' intervention,the fall index of both groups went on decreasing,and significant difference of fall index between 6 month and baseline of group A and between group A and group B at 6 months was found.After 1-year intervention,the fall index of group A was further decreased in comparison with group B ( t =2.66,P<0.05 ).No hypercalcemia occurred during the study period.Conclusion The fall risk of the patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis or osteopenia was reduced after 3 months' intervention.Twelve months' active vitamin D intervention could either reduce the risk of fall or improve bone mineral density.Patient education,balance training and muscle exercise may be effective intervention to reduce fall risk.
