Objective To analyze the glucose and metabolism and perinatal outcome in pregnant women with different extent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) of IADPSG diagnostic criteria,and to investigate the necessity to manage mild GDM.Methods Total 368 pregnant women at 24-28 gestational weeks were given 75 g glucose oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).They were divided into three groups according OGTI result,single abnormal group (GDM1 group,148 cases),combination abnormal group (GDM2 group,120 cases) and normal group (100 cases).The three groups were given determinations of glycosylated hemoglobin,fasting C peptide (FCP),fasting insulin (FINS),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 and ApoB,calculated homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and homeostasis beta cell index (HBCI).Results From normal group,GDM1 group to GDM2 group,the fasting plasma glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,FCP,HOMA-IR,TG were gradually increased [(4.39 ± 0.38),(4.98 ± 0.49),(5.25 ± 0.59) mmol/L; (5.10 ± 0.29)％,(5.27 ± 0.36)％,(5.46 ± 0.46)％ ;(1.37 ±0.67),(1.73 ±0.73),(1.99 ±0.96) μ g/L;1.07 ±0.42,1.26 ±0.54,1.37 ±0.43; (2.77 ±0.67),(3.05 ± 0.78),(3.34 ± 0.92) mmol/L,P ＜ 0.01],while HBCI was gradually decreased (5.93 ± 0.48,5.42 ±0.45,5.29 ± 0.44,P ＜ 0.01).ApoA1 in GDM1 group and GDM2 group were significantly lower than that in normal group [(2.21 ±0.39),(2.15 ±0.35) g/L vs.(2.42 ±0.37) g/L,P ＜0.01],but there was no significant difference between GDM1 group and GDM2 group (P＞ 0.05).ApoB/ApoA1 in GDM2 group was significantly higher than that in normal group and GDM1 group (0.49 ±0.14 vs.0.42 ±0.14 and 0.45 ±0.12,P ＜ 0.01),but there was no significant difference between normal group and GDM 1 group (P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in FINS,TC,HDL-C,LDL-C,ApoB,neonatal weight and the incidence rate of premature delivery among the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rates of eclampsism,large for date infant and cesarean section in GDM1 group and GDM2 group were significantly higher than those in normal group [8.1％(12/148) and 14.2％(17/120) vs.2.0％(2/100),14.9％(22/148) and 16.7％(20/120)vs.6.0％(6/100),52.0％(77/148) and 54.2％(65/120) vs.30.0％(30/100),P＜ 0.01].Conclusions Different extent GDM of IADPSG diagnostic criteria has different extent abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism and abnormal perinatal outcome,so it is necessary to diagnose and manage GDM pregnant women even mild GDM.

Objective To investigate the application opportunity and effect of B-Lynch suture in severe postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section. Methods One hundred patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage were randomly divided into two groups. Group A was given with preventive treatment by B-Lynch suture after the placenta was born. Group B was given with traditional treatment, such as kneading the uterus, pressing, "8" suture, stuffing with gauze first. B-Lynch suture was used after the failure of traditional treatment or the amount of bleeding was over 400 ml.At the same time, another 50 patients without severe postpartum hemorrhage were selected as control (group C). Observed the difference of the amount of bleeding during different time, the operation time and comphcations among the three groups. Results The amount of bleeding during operation and 2 h after childbirth in group A [(266.00±29.90),(301.33±40.30) ml] were obviously less than those in group B[(512.67±202.12), (554.17±201.78)ml](P<0.01). The operation time in group A [(33.73±2.28)min] was shorter than that in group B [(49.33±10.40) min] (P<0.01). The incidence rate of severe postpartum hemorrhage in group A (6%, 3/50) was lower than that in group B (64%, 32/50) (P<0.01). Every parameter in group A was similar with group C. There were no serious complications during and after operation. Conclusions The preventive use of B-Lynch suture in patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage attains much better effects, and depresses the incidence rate of severe postpartum hemorrhage, and also improves the living quality. B-Lynch suture should be. used widely in patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage preventively.

Objective To evaluate the diffuse characteristics of two types of botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX and CBTX A) in the forehead and the effect of intradermal (ID) and subcutanous (SC) infections on their diffusion.Methods Healthy volunteers (n =20) were recruited to receive a 0.05 ml (2 U) injection of botulinum toxin type A at four forehead sites [both sides of medial forehead (SC) and temporal forehead (ID)],one side for BOTOX and another for CBTX-A.On day 14,the Minors' iodine starch test was performed and photographs were taken for calculating the area and dimensions of anhydrotic area.Results The areas of anhidrosis ID were significantly greater with CBTX-A (180±15) mm2 than that of BOTOX (144±14) mm2.The same conditions occurred in vertical dimensions (14.4±1.1) mm vs.(15.8±1.0) mm and horizontal dimensions (10.8±0.6) mm vs.(12.5±0.7) mm.There was significant variation between the both for diffuseness in the two anhidrotic halos observed after ID injection (P＜0.05).The areas of anhidrosis by SC were significantly greater with CBTX-A (207±17) mm2 than that in BOTOX (183±18) mm2.The mean horizontal dimension was greater with CBTX-A by SC (13.2±0.6) mm than that of BOTOX by SC (12.2±0.7) mm,but not statistically significant (P =0.06).The mean horizontal dimension in BOTOX was significantly greater with SC than that with ID (P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between SC and ID administration of CBTX-A.Conclusions BOTOX diffuses less than CBTX-A.ID injection technique may result in less diffusion than SC.
