Objective To evaluate the values of maternal serum levels of lipid and uric acid at second trimester in predicting preeclampsia,gestational diabetes mellitus and macrosomia. Methods Concentrations of selected metabolic markers including total cholesterol,triglyceride,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,high density lipoprotein-cholesterol,apolipoprotein AI,apolipoprotein B and uric acid were examined in 1000 healthy singleton primiparous who accepted regular prenatal healthcare in Naniing Drum Tower Hospital,at 20 weeks of gestation from June 2009 to January 2010.All the pregnant women were followed up to their deliveries.Pregnancy complications,such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM),the data of maternal and neonatal outcomes such as gestational age at delivery,neonatal birthweight were recorded.Relationship between adverse outcome and blood lipid,uric acid levels was analyzed by Logistic regression,and the risk factors were confirmed; predictive values of those sensitivity and specificity were calculated by receiver operating characteristic curve. Results Among the 1000 pregnant women, 61 (6.1%) developed preeclampsia and 100 (10.0%) developed GDM.The mean gestational age of delivery was (39.3±1.2) weeks,and the incidence of preterm delivery was 1.5% (15/1000).The mean birthweight was (3389.6±4 422.8) g,and the prevalence of macrosomia was 8.9% (89/1000).Women who had elevated triglyceride levels had a 3.42-fold increased risk of preeclampsia (95 % CI:1.88-6.22,P =0.000) and 2.12-fold increased risk of GDM (95% CI:1.38-3.35,P =0.001).Hyperuricemic women experienced a 2.09-fold increased risk of preeclampsia (95%CI:1.24-3.53,P=0.005) and 2.22-fold increased risk of GDM (95%CI:1.32-3.43,P=0.002).Women who had decreased high density lipoprotein-cholesterol level experienced a 2.34-fold increased risk of preeclampsia (95 % CI:1.20-4.55,P =0.011),2.03-fold increased risk of GDM (95 % CIr:1.33-3.11,P =0.001 ) and 1.67-fold increased risk of macrosomia (95%CI:1.06-2.64,P=0.026).The area under receiver operating characteristic curve of these metabolic markers was 0.56-0.65, the sensitivity was 28%-82% and the specificity was 34%-85%. Conclusions Hypertriglycemia,hyperuricemia,and hypo high density lipoprotein-cholesterolcmia at 20 weeks of gestation might relate to preeclampsia,GDM and macrosomia,but the predictive values of them are limited.

AIM: To investigate the effect of mfn2 on mitochondrial function in steatosis hepatocytes. METHODS: Plasmid pEGFP-mfn2 was transfected into hepatocyte strain L02 by Lipofectamine 2000 in vitro, then the steatosis model of hepatocytes was establish by oleic acid induction. RT-PCR was used to evaluate mRNA expression and Western blotting was use to detect the protein expression. ATP level was determined by firefly luciferase bioluminescent. ROS production was measured by fluorescence probe DCFH-DA. Chondrosome transmembrane potential of L02 was observed by labeling of JC-1 and FCM. RESULTS: The stable expression of ectogenesis mitofusin2 in L02 cells was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. In the model of oleic acids induced lipid formation, Mfn2 obviously inhibited the descent of chondrosome transmembrane potential and ATP level, and increased ROS production in L02 cells. CONCLUSION: Up-regulated expression of mfn2 attenuates mitochondria dysfunction caused by oleic acids induced lipid formation.

Objectives To compare the safety and efficacy of radial artery access versus femoral artery access for percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction population. Methods From June 2004 to December 2006, 446 patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous stenting were reviewed retrospectively. The radial artery approach was used in 242 patients, and the femoral artery approach in 204 patients. The success of the procedure, procedure duration, X-ray exposition, volume of contrast, incidence of major adverse cardiac events and complications were compared between the radial artery and femoral artery approach. Results Total procedure duration, X-ray exposition, the immediate success of the procedure and the proportion of patients with reperfusion time above 60min are higher in patients with radial artery acess than that with femoral artery access [(62. 1 ± 23. 4) min vs(56. 8 ± 16. 7)min,(2829. 4 ± 1365.2) mGY vs (2352. 3 ± 903.1) mGY, 4% vs 0.9% and 7.44% vs 2.94%respectively, all P < 0. 05]. Conclusions In non-selected patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary stent implantation, the success rate of the radial artery approach is lower than the femoral artery approach and could prolong the reperfusion time. It is suitable to change artery access immediately if abnormality is found via radial artery access.
