Objective To explore the correlation of the reversely increased results of 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) during pregnancy to the pregnancy outcome, so as to provide a reliable theoretical basis of the early intervention for the pregnant women with high plasma glucose.Methods The clinical data of 461 cases were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were chosen from the pregnant women undergoing routine antenatal examination in our hospital during 2014. According to the results of 75g OGTT, 226 patients were analyzed as the observation group, in whom the level of postprandial 2-hour plasma glucose was higher than that of postprandial 1-hour plasma glucose. Meanwhile 235 pregnant women with or without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were randomly selected as the control group.Results The levels of fasting plasma glucose and 1-hour postprandial plasma glucose were lower, but those of 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose was higher in observation group than in control group (P<0.01). No statistical difference existed between the two groups (P>0.05) in the incidences of polyhydramnios, oligohydramnios, fetal growth restriction (FGR), premature labor (PTL), pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), complicated with premature rupture of membrane (PROM), intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) and non scar uterus cesarean section rate (CSR). Compared with the observation group, the rates of neonatal dysplasia and neonatal asphyxia and the newborn transfer rate were lower in the control group, of which the newborn transfer rate was statistically different (P<0.01).Conclusions There might be a delayed plasma glucose metabolism in the patients with reversely increased result of 75g OGTT during pregnancy, which may affect the long-term prognosis of the newborn. Therefore, more attention should be paid to such patients with reversely increased result of 75g OGTT.

A total of 101 honey samples that originated from 20 different unifloral honey and other multifloral honey samples were collected from China.FT-NIR spectrometer were applied to determinate the content of fructose and glucose of honey with two different modes: transflectance (800-2500 nm, 2 mm optical path length) and transmittance (800-1370 nm, 20 mm optical path length).It was found that the prediction accuracy of fructose and glucose had significant difference with the two modes.In order to analyze the reason of this difference, support vector machine (SVM) was used to analyze the non-linear information, and genetic algorithm (GA) was used to analyze the characteristic wavelengths.The result indicated that the detection difference of fructose and glucose was originated from their different characteristic wavelengths.Through the optimization of detection method, it was found that for the determination of glucose, short wavelength and long optical path length should be used, on the other side, the whole wavelength region and short wavelength, with selecting the characteristic wavelength to avoid the disturb of water can also be used.For the determination of fructose, whole wavelength region and short optical path length should be used.Linear regression methods such as PLSR could obtain good results, and non-linear methods such as SVM did not improve the model performance.

Objective To explore the expression of the nerve growth factor receptors p75 (p75NGFR) in human bladder carcinoma samples, and the effects of hypoxia on the expression of p75NGFR in human bladder cancer ceils. Methods The expression of p75NGFR in 107 bladder cancer and lymph node specimens were immunohistochemically investigated. The expression of p75NGFR in bladder cancer cell line (T24) was assessed by immunocytochemistry, and reverse tran-scription-PCR in the Normoxic Condition (air, 5%CO2) and in hypoxia condition(10%O2, 5%CO2, 85%N2). Results p75NGFR expressed in 46 of 107(43.0%) tumor samples. There was no signifi-cant correlation between p75NGFR and the factors such as gender, age, extent of the tumors, and pathologic grading(P0.05), p75NGFR was expressed in examined cell line T24, and also expressed in 5 of 24 bladder tumors in metastasized lymph node specimens. Hypoxia markedly down-regulated the expression of p75NGFR of T24 cell line at third day. Conclusions It is suggested that p75NGFR is expressed less in lymph node metastasis. Hypoxia markedly inhibited expression of p75NGFR of T24 cell lines.
