To explore the influence of glucose level of 75 g oral glucose tolerance test ( OGTT ) druing pregnancy on delivery of large for gestational age infants. This research selected 790 cases of patients diagnosed as gestational diabetes mellitus( GDM) , 478 cases of pregnant women diagnosed as normal glucose tolerance( NGT) from Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University in 2014 and followed up until they delivered. Single live births were selected, risk factors which had influence on offsprings, birth weight were analysed. GDM group had significantly higher rate of delivering large for gestational age(LGA)infants than that of NGT group(47. 30% vs 31. 30%, P<0. 05). Adjusting for confounding factors, it suggested that 2 h plasma glucose level of 75 g OGTT was an independent risk factor for the delivery of LGA infants, and 1 mmol/L glucose increment in 75 g OGTT 2 h plasma glucose level, mayincreasetheriskofLGAby29%(OR=1.29,95%CI1.05-1.58,P=0.02). The2hplasmaglucoselevelof75 g OGTT is an independent risk factor for delivery of LGA infants.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between levels of plasma thrombopoietin(TPO) and thrombocytopenia.Methods:Sixty-eight thrombocytopenia with different causes were injected with rhIL-11 domestically made, by 25 ?g/(kg?d) for 10 days continuously. The plasma TPO levels were determined by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique in thrombocytopenic patients between before and after treatment.Results:(1)The serum TPO controls of patients with thrombocytopenia after acute leukemia(AL) chemotherapy were lower than normal controls. The plasma TPO levels in aplastic anemia(AA) and myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) patients were all elevated compared to those in normal controls.The serum TPO levels in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) and liver cirrhosis had no difference with the normals. Bone marrow megakaryocytes(MK) count in after chemotherapy AL and AA patients were lower than those with normal serum TPO levels controls. (2)In all above patients used interleukin-11(rhIL-11), their TPO levels were close to normal in efficiency patients. On the contrary, their TPO did not change dramatic. Those react to rhIL-11, their TPO levels were inversely correlated with platelet count.Conclusion:Testing serum TPO levels would be helpful for distinguish the thrombocytopenia with different causes, and provides theorical support to patients to use rhIL-11 reasonably.

Objective To analyze the clinical and imaging characteristics of congenital sensorineural hearing loss (CSNHL)children combined with white matter (WM)lesions in order to provide evidence for clinical practice. Methods With referral to the Department of Pediatrics,Peking University First Hospital from November 201 1 to De-cember 201 5,documents of 78 patients of CSNHL combined with WMlesions were collected and analyzed for the clini-cal and imaging characteristics.Results Bilateral severe -profound hearing loss existed in all 78 cases,48.1 %(25 /52 cases)of the patients exhibited gross motor development delay,98.1 %(51 /52 cases)of them had normal cognition development.One hundred percent (61 /61 cases)of patients had abnormal language development.Infection occurring during pregnancy existed in 21 .2%(1 1 /52 cases)of the patients,the premature and smaller for the gestational age in-fants accounted for 28.9% (1 5 /52 cases).The bilateral multiple WMlesions from the brain MRI were in dot to flake sizes with sharp boundary,the intensity of T1 -weighted imaging decreased,T2 -weighted imaging and fluid attenuated inversion recovery increased.Eighty -two point one percent (64 /78 cases)of the patients were found to have the periventricular and subcortical WM involvement.The most frequently affected periventricular region was the posterior horn (91 .9%,68 /74 cases),followed by the anterior horn and temporal horn,and the least with the body involvement. The former three had a combined lesion tendency (55.4% -68.9%).There was an extensive involvement in the sub-cortical WMof parietal,frontal,temporal and occipital lobes respectively(73.5% -88.2%).Subcortical WM involve-ment of multiple lobes was common (accounted for 67.6% -77.9%).The enlargement of bilateral ventricles existed in 37.2%(29 /78 cases)of the patients and cystic changes in the subcortical WM of anterior temporal lobe could be found in 9.0% (7 /78 cases)patients.Calcification in 2 CT cases was reported.Corpus callosum and basal ganglia of all cases were normal.For cases with MRI scans more than once,WMlesions of 96.0%(24 /25 cases)patients became silent or self -restored.Conclusions The clinical presentations of CSNHL combined with WM lesions are mild,not paralleled with their multiple foci.It is considered as demyelination or a delay of myelination.Due to its benign course, it is probably not the contraindication for the cochlear implantation.
