Objective: To explore the dose-response relationship between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), so as to provide insights into the cut-off values of pre-pregnancy BMI and optimizing GDM prevention and control strategies. Methods: Pregnant women that admitted to Zhengzhou Central hospital in 2021 were recruited, and demographics, family history, pregnancy and delivery history and blood glucose levels during pregnancy were collected. The dose-response relationship between pre-pregnancy BMI and GDM was analyzed using restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. The predictive ability of pre-pregnancy BMI for GDM risk was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: A total of 2 279 participants were included in the study. The median age was 29.0 (interquartile range, 5.0) years. The median pre-pregnancy BMI was 21.1 (interquartile range, 3.8) kg/m2. There were 312 underweight women (13.69%), 825 women with low-normal weight (36.20%), 730 women with high-normal weight (32.03%), 345 overweight women (15.14%) and 67 obese women (2.94%).The prevalence of GDM was 17.20%. RCS analysis suggested a linear dose-response relationship between age, pre-pregnancy BMI and GDM (P<0.05). When pre-pregnancy BMI was higher than 21.1 kg/m2, the risk of GDM increased with pre-pregnancy BMI (P<0.05). When women aged over 29.0 years, the risk of GDM increased with age, and the dose-response relationship of GDM caused by pre-pregnancy BMI was stronger in the women aged over 29.0 years than in the women aged 29.0 years and below (P<0.05). The area under curve (AUC) was 0.654 (95%CI: 0.624-0.684). If the cut-off value of pre-pregnancy BMI was 23.0 kg/m2, the Youden index, sensitivity and specificity was 0.238, 0.472 and 0.766, respectively. If it was 24.0 kg/m2, the Youden index, sensitivity and specificity was 0.195, 0.342 and 0.853, respectively. If it was 21.1 kg/m2, the Youden index, sensitivity and specificity was 0.213, 0.676 and 0.537, respectively. Conclusions There is a linear dose-response relationship between pre-pregnancy BMI and GDM, and higher than 21.1 kg/m2 of the pre-pregnancy BMI could increase the risk of GDM.

Objective To discuss perioperative nursing of pediatric patients with tethered spinal cord syndrome (TCS). Methods 35 pediatric patients with TCS underwent surgical treatment. Pre-operative nursing included psychological care for the parents to eliminate their fear and worries, prona-tion position practice and clean of skin for the children patients, post- operative care included monitor-ing of vital signs, maintaining of proper positions,close observation of the wound, skin care and rehabili-tation training. Results After intensive care, all cases went through the perioperstive period without bed sores. During follow- up disappearance of clinical symptoms occurred in 24 cases, 3 cases got allevia-tion,7 cases with no improvement, and 1 case with deteriorated clinical symptom. Conclusions Preopera-tive care for patients with tethered cord syndrome can provide doctors with the diagnosis and treatment reference, and it plays an important role in treatment and rehabilitation of children patients.

Objective ·To study changes of morphological characteristics of pituitary glands Objective · To study changes of morphological characteristics of pituitary glandsin normal adults by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods · A total of 245 healthy adults were scanned by 3.0T MRI to measurewidths,lengths,heights and volumes of pituitary glands and observe pituitary gland morphology. Results · The average height of pituitary was (5.47±1.33) mm inmales and (6.06±1.32) mm in females; the average volume of pituitary was (614.07±125.52) mm3 in males and (660.00±117.35) mm3 in females. The difference betweenthe genders was statistically significant (P<0.01). The pituitary height was positively related to the pituitary volume (r=0.829,P<0.01). Except the pituitary lengths, there was statistically significance in the pituitary widths, heights and volumes among different age groups (P<0.05), and all of them were negatively correlated with age (P<0.01). Conclusion · The pituitary heights and volumes peak in the 18-29 age group in adults and tend to decline with increased age. In female subjects, however, there is a tendency of pituitary heights and volumes to increaseagain in the 50-59 age group. The average height and volume of female pituitary glands are significantly greater than those of males.

Objective To detect the expression of aquaporin 1 in pancreas of rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and to study the effect of Dachengqi decoction on it.MethodsOne hundred and sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into control group ( C group,n =32 ),ANP group ( n =32),Dexamethasone group (De group,n =32),Acetazolamide group (A group,n =32) and Dachengqi decoction group (DD group,n =32).ANP model was induced by retrograde injection of 5％ sodium taurocholate into the biliary and pancreatic duct.Rats in De group received dexamethasone (4 mg/kg) intravenously after ANP induction; while rats in A group received 1 ml acetazolamide via gastric lavage 2 h before ANP induction; rats in DD group received 2 ml Dachengqi decoction via gastric lavage 48,24,2h before ANP induction; rats in C group received laparotomy.Eight rats in each group were sacrificed at 3 h,6 h,12 h and 18h after induction of ANP models.Quantity of ascites and levels of serum amylases were measured.Pathological changes in pancreas tissue were detected by HE and electron microscope.Capillary permeability in pancreas tissue was detected by Evans Blue (EB) extravasations method.AQP1 expression in pancreas tissue was detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting.ResultsLevels of serum amylase in ANP group was significantly higher,and the pancreatic injuries were obvious ; the levels of serum amylase in De group and DD group was lower than that in ANP group,and the pancreatic injuries were attenuated.The levels of serum amylase in A group were higher than that in ANP group,and the pancreatic.injuries were more severe than that in ANP group.Six hours after ANP induction,the levels of EB in pancreas were (13.44 ±2.56),(126.35 ± 14.80),(86.31 ± 14.46),( 108.99 ± 15.07 ),(78.29 ± 16.85 ) mg/L In C group,ANP group,De group,A group and DD group,and the expression of AQP1 mRNA in pancreatic tissue was ( 170.07 ± 22.48 ) ％,( 83.93 ± 8.98 ) ％,( 117.09 ±10.70 ) ％,( 69.00 ± 8.98 ) ％,( 112.82 ± 11.79 ) ％ ; and the expression of AQP1 protein was 0.23 ± 0.06,0.10 ±0.02,0.32 ±0.03,0.13 ±0.02,0.45 ±0.04.The content of EB in ANP group was higher than that in C group,while the expression of AQP1 mRNA and protein in ANP group was significantly lower than that in C group (P ＜ 0.05 ).The content of EB in De group and DD group was significantly lower than that in ANP group,while the expression of AQP1 mRNA and protein was significantly higher than that in ANP group (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsAQP1 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of capillary endothelial barrier dysfunction in rats with ANP.Dachengqi Decoction can attenuate pancreatic injuries of rats by regulating the expression of AQP1.

This study was aimed to compare the efficacy of gastric banding (GB), Roux en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) in the treatment of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Ani-mal models of T2DM were induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection and high-sugar-fat diets. A total of 70 T2DM rats were randomly allocated into the GB group (G group, n = 20), RYGBP group (R group, n = 20), BPD group ( B group , n = 20 ) , and the sham operation group ( S group , n = 10 ) . The fasting blood glucose ( BG ) , triglyceride ( TG ) , total cholesterol ( TC ) and insulin ( INS ) content were determined before and 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 8 , 16 weeks after operation. The insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was calculated. The mortality and complications were ob-served in each group. The results showed that the fasting weight of the GB group, RYGBP group and BPD group were (324.4 ± 22.5) g, (338.9 ± 17.5) g, (333.3 ± 28.4) g, respectively. The BG content was (12.44 ± 1.29) mmol/L, (9.70 ± 0.81) mmol/L, (11.93 ± 2.39) mmol/L, respectively. The TC content was (2.32 ± 0.45) mmol/L, (2.22 ± 0.79) mmol/L, (2.13 ± 0.31) mmol/L, respectively. The TG content was (1.38 ± 0.32) mmol/L, (1.16± 0.41) mmol/L, (1.23 ± 0.35) mmol/L, respectively. The ISI were (-6.38 ± 0.29), (-6.67 ± 0.24), (-6.65 ±0.23), respectively. And the INS content of the RYGBP group were (69.43 ± 18.73) mU/L. There were signifi-cant differences between before and after operation on the 16th week ( P < 0 . 05 , P < 0 . 01 ) . The mortality rate was 5% in the GB group, 20% in the RYGBP group, and 35% in the BPD group. It was concluded that the GB, RYGBP and BPD are effective in reducing blood glucose and blood lipids in the treatment of rat with T2DM. The treatment effect is obvious in the improvement of insulin resistance ( IR ) .
