Objective To explore the impacts of intensive nutritional intervention on maternal and infant outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM). Methods From January 2014 to ecember 2014, a total of 518 women with GDM were stratified by age, height, body mass index (BMI), and were divided into treatment group (n=258) and control group (n=260) according to the random number generated by the computer software. Women in control group underwent conservative treatment while those in treatment group were given intensive nutritional intervention including keeping records of eating habits, measurement of blood glucose and regular follow-up. The incidence of pregnancy-related complications and newborn outcomes in both groups were compared. Results Women of the two groups were similar in basic clinical data. The range of gestational weight gain (GWG) [(12.2 ± 4.7) vs. (13.9 ± 5.0)kg] and birth weight of infants [(3 406.4±495.4) vs. (3 494.9±484.7)g] in the intervention group was significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). The rate of reaching recommended target of GWG was significantly higher in the intervention group (60.9%) than in the control group (51.9%, χ2=4.2, P<0.05). There was a significant reduction in glucose-related parameters in both groups (P<0.01). In the intervention group, fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose were reduced from (5.21 ± 0.71) mmol/L, (6.68 ± 0.90) mmol/L to (4.71 ± 0.73) mmol/L,(6.21 ± 0.71) mmol/L (P<0.01), respectively in comparison with the control group, the intervention group had lower incidence of cesarean section (44.6% vs. 53.8%), postpartum hemorrhage (2.3%vs. 6.2%), polyhydramnios (7.8%vs. 13.5%), neonatal hypoglycemia (3.1%vs. 6.5%) and macrosomia (8.1%vs. 13.8%, P<0.05). Conclusions Strengthening nutritional intervention in women with GDM could increase the rate of reaching recommended target of GWG, improve the glucose-related parameters and reduce the incidence rate of pregnancy complications.

Objective To investigate the metabolic differences of Tacrolimus in different transplant recipients. Methods A retrospective study was conducted, 30 patients of the organ transplant admitted to organ transplantation center of General Hospital of Chinese People's Armed Police Forces from January 2002 to August 2012 were enrolled, and they were divided into combined liver and kidney transplant (SLK) group, single liver transplant group and single renal transplant group, 10 cases in each group. The SLK group and the simple liver transplantation group were given the same drug regimen, methylprednisolone injection was given during operation, and tacrolimus+ mycophenolate mofetil+ prednisone triple immunosuppressive therapy was taken after operation, on the first day after operation, the initial dose of tacrolimus was given 0.06 mg·kg-1·d-1 divided into 2 times taken orally, and on the third day after operation, the concentration of tacrolimus was detected; after operation group for 2 - 4 days, single renal transplantation group was given tacrolimus the initial dose of tacrolimus 0.15 mg·kg-1·d-1 was divided into 2 parts for twice oral administration, after 2 - 3 days of the above treatment, monitoring the concentration of tacrolimus began. One month after transplantation, the metabolic differences of tacrolimus among the three groups were compared.Results One month after operation, the oral tacrolimus doses (μg·kg-1·d-1: 74.78±32.65 vs. 80.62±24.02, 85.58±16.78) and the monitored blood drug concentration (μg/L: 6.64±2.73 vs. 7.50±3.08, 7.46±3.20) in SLK group were lower than either the single liver transplantation group or single renal transplantation group, but the comparisons among the three groups, there were no statistically significant differences(allP > 0.05).Conclusions In SLK group, the protective effect of transplanted liver on transplanted kidney may be related to the length of postoperative time. Liver transplantation performed within post-operative one month has no protective effect on the transplanted kidney.
