In order to study the effect of chronic noise exposure on auditory center, seven guinea pigs were .exposured to 105 dB A noise 8h daily for 45 d. Then the animals were killed by decapitation. The superior olive and inferior colliculus were taken immediately to make the samples of electron microscope. The mitochondria swelling, membrane rupture, cristae breaking, ballooning degeneration were found. The rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum was swollen and expanded. The lysosome and secondary lysosome were increased. The cell interstitial edema and synaptic besicle decrease were observed. The nuclear chromatid was decreased and nucleolus was kept to the side. The laminae of neurilemma of nerve fibers were dissociated, swollen and broken. The results indicate that the ultrastructure, neural cells and fibers in the auditory center are damaged by chronic noise exposure and most of these damages are irreversible.

_ Objective_ To analyze the relationship between the fasting plasma glucose ( FPG ) of pre-pregnancy women and occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus( GDM) , and to explore the value of risk evaluation of GDM by lowerling cut-point for impaired fasting glucose ( IFG ) . Methods The general clinic check information before pregnancy, the plasma glucose levels during 24-28 weeks of pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes were collected prospectively in Weifang and Zhucheng Maternal and Child Health Hospital between February 2014 and November 2014. The FPG levels of the recruited women were lower than 6. 1 mmol/L. According to the criteria for GDM of Ministry of Health (MOH)of China in 2011, and based on the results of 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, pregnant women who underwent screening for GDM were recruited and separated into normal group and GDM group. Based on the FPG levels before pregnancy and according to the recommendation as American Diabetes Association ( ADA ) suggested in 2003, recruited women with normal FPG level according to World Health Organization ( WHO) criteria (1999)were divided into 5. 6-6. 1 mmol/L and<5. 6 mmol/L groups. Results Among the child-bearing age women with FPG<6. 1 mmol/L, the incidences of GDM and macrosomia were 19. 2% and 8. 2% respectively. In the group with FPG between 5. 6 and 6. 1 mmol/L, incidences of GDM and macrosomia were 34. 2% and 4. 7%respectively. While in the group with FPG<5. 6 mmol/L, incidences of GDM and macrosomia were 13. 2% and 15. 3% respectively. The risks of GDM and macrosomia were increased by 2. 6 times and 3. 3 times respectively in group with FPG between 5. 6 and 6. 1 mmol/L (34. 5%), compared with that in group with FPG<5. 6 mmol/L(P<0. 01). Age, FPG, and body mass index before pregnancy in GDM group were significantly higher than those in normal group. The receiver operating characteristic curves in predicting GDM showed that the optimum cut-points for age, FPG, and body mass index were 30 years old, 5. 55 mmol/L, and 23. 7 kg/m2 respectively. Conclusions The risk of GDM in childbearing aged women with FPG from 5. 55 to 6. 10 mmol/L was markedly increased. The optimum cut-point for FPG (5. 55 mmol/L) in predicting GDM was close to the low limit for IFG (5. 6 mmol/L) suggested by ADA in 2003. Decreasing the lower limit of IFG to 5. 6 mmol/L among women who checked before pregnancy and paying attention to those women with FPG from 5. 6 to 6. 1 mmol/L would have advantage to the evaluation and prevention of GDM.

Objective To study the effect of maternal subclinical thyroid abnormalities [including subclinical hypothyroidism, hypothyroxinemia and positive anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) with normal thyroid function] in women during 16-20 weeks of gestation on offspfing's intellectual development and motor function. Methods Sera from 1 268 women during 16-20 weeks of gestation (collected 2 years ago) were obtained and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), total thyroxine (TT4), free thyroxine (FT4) and TPOAb levels were measured. Pregnant specific thyroid function reference ranges were used to screen for subclinical hypothyroidism (18 cases), hypothyroxinemia (19 cases) and positive TPOAb (34 cases). From the same cohort, a total of 142 pregnant women who were euthyroid with negative TPOAb were selected as controls (a case: control ratio of 1 : 2). Intellectual and motor development score evaluations were performed in their children at 25-30 months of age. Results In the group of pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism, the offspring' s intelligence score was (109.89±13.81) points, which was 8.88 points lower than in the control group (P < 0.01). Similarly, the motor score of the offspring was (108.11±9.93) points, which was 9.98 points lower than in the control group (P < 0.01). In the pregnant women with hypothyroxinemia, the offspring's intelligence score was (112.32±15.10) points, 9.30 points lower than in the control group (P <0.01); the motor score was (112.21±12.26) points, 7.57 points lower than in the control group (P < 0.01). In the pregnant women with positive TPOAb and euthyroid function, the offspring's intelligence score was (112.70±20.64) points, 10.56 points lower than in the control group (P < 0.01); the motor score was (110.64±12.49) points, 9.03 points lower than in the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Maternal subclinical thyroid abnormality between 16-20 weeks of gestation adversely may affect offspring intellectual and motor development, suggesting the necessity for screening and treatment of maternal subclinical thyroid abnormality in the early stages of pregnancy.

Objective:To explore the clinical features and diagnosis of coexistence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and Beh?et's disease associated with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).Methods:We analyzed a case of coexistence of ankylosing spondylitis and Beh?et's disease associated with APS in Seventh Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital in 2016, and the related literature were reviewed.Results:A 26-year-old male patient suffered from inflammatory low back pain, arthralgia and iritis. A His CT imaging revealed bilateral grade Ⅱ of bilateral sacroiliac arthritis. He was diagnosed as AS. He also had recurrent oral ulceration, iritis, vascular disorders and positive acupuncture pathergy test. He was diagnosed as Beh?et's disease. He suffered from recurrentpeated venous thrombosis. Laboratory tests revealed positive antiphospholipid antibodies. He was diagnosed as secondary APS complicated with Beh?et's disease. After he was treated with of glucocorticosteroid, cyclophosphamide, adalimumab and dabigatran, his condition improved significantly.Conclusion:There are some cases reported of AS with Beh?et's disease, or Beh?et's disease with APS, or AS with APS. The relationship between them is complex. The possibility of coexistence of AS and Beh?et's disease and APS should not be ignored, in order to avoid misdiagnosis.
