Objective To evaluate the diagnostic level of infantile vitamin B_1 deficiency encephalopathy.Methods Clinical featuresand CT images in 45 cases of infantile vitamin B_1 deficiency encephalopathy proved by clinical treatment and follow-up were analyzedretrospectively.Results CT images depicted bilateral symmetrical low-density regions in the lentiform nucleus and the head of caudatenucleus in all 45 cases.The regions were reniform,upsiloid,butterfly or oval.Bilateral symmetrical low-densities of frontal,temporal or parietal lobes were found in some cases.Other CT findings included extensions of longitudinal fissures,lateral fissures and cerebral grooves.Experimental treatments of vitamin B_1 made remarkable clinical improvements.Conclusion CT scanning is extremely useful in thediagnosis of infantile vitamin B_1 deficiency encephalopathy.

Objective : To examine the association between dietary patterns during pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), so as to provide the evidence for guiding the establishment of healthy and balanced dietary patterns and reducing the prevalence of GDM. Methods: Pregnant women who underwent oral glucose tolerance tests in Hangzhou Obstetrics and Gynecological Hospital from 2020 to 2021 were enrolled, and their demographic information were collected using questionnaires. Pregnant women's diets during the past three months were collected using Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQs), and dietary patterns were extracted using principal component analysis. In addition, the association between dietary patterns and risk of GDM was examined using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 689 pregnant women were included, with a median age of 28.53 (interquartile range, 2.47) years and a median gestational age of 26.00 (interquartile range, 2.00) weeks. Five dietary patterns were identified according to pregnant women's types of diets, including meat-based diets, dessert-fruit-refined grain diets, plant-based diets, eggs-milk-nut diets and whole-grain diets, with a cumulative contribution rate of 58.76%. The prevalence of GDM was 24.57% (415 cases) among the study subjects. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that pregnant women with scores in the highest quartile (Q4) of the meat-based diets had an increased risk of GDM (OR=1.372, 95%CI: 1.043-2.055) relative to those with scores in the lowest quartile (Q1), and pregnant women with Q4 scores of the dessert-fruit-refined grain diets had an increased risk of GDM (OR=1.743, 95%CI: 1.397-2.432) relative to those with Q1 scores, while pregnant women with Q4 scores of the plant-based diets had a reduced risk of GDM (OR=0.382, 95%CI: 0.346-0.613) relative to those with Q1 scores. Conclusion A plant-based dietary pattern may reduce the risk of GDM, while meat-based and dessert-fruit-refined grain dietary patterns may increase the risk of GDM.
