Objective To evaluate the effect of medical nutritional intervention on clinical outcome of gestational diabetes mellitus.Methods A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials was conducted.PubMed, EMBASE, OVID, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Chinese WanFang Database were searched for the literatures related to the effect of medical nutritional intervention on clinical outcome of gestational diabetes mellitus from January 2005 to January 2015.At the same time, manual searching and reference review were conducted.Strict screening of the searched literatures was performed based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.All the included trials were divided into two groups based on whether the intervention involved insulin or not.The tool which Cochrane Handbook recommended was used to assess the risk of bias for included literatures.All the studies were graded and extracted by two researchers independently after reading research method in detail.Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan5.2 software.The effect of medical nutritional intervention was described in terms of fasting blood glucose, birth body mass, and incidences of macrosomia, cesarean section, postpartum glucose intolerance and neonatal long-term chronic disease.Results Totally 27 trials were found, of which 13 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.1 trial was excluded because the outcomes were using different sample sizes, and finally 12 trials were included in the final meta-analysis, involving 1 392 patients.Among the 12 included trials, 7 only administered nutritional intervention, while the other 5 added insulin with nutritional intervention.The results showed that in the nutritional intervention group, medical nutritional intervention decreased the incidence of macrosomia [risk difference (RD) :-0.35, 95% CI:-0.55--0.15, P < 0.001, 1 trial], birth body mass [mean difference (MD) :-581.27, 95% CI:-790.32--372.22, P < 0.001, 2 trials], the rate of cesarean section (RD:-0.40, 95% CI:-0.58--0.21, P<0.001, 2 trials), fasting blood glucose (MD:-0.32, 95% CI:-0.59--0.06, P =0.02, 5 trials), and the incidence of postpartum glucose intolerance (RD:-0.34, 95 % CI:-0.44--0.23, P <0.001, 1 trial).However, in the multiple intervention group (nutritional intervention plus insulin), no significant differences were shown in the incidence of macrosomia (RD:-0.02, 95% CI:-0.07-0.03, P=0.39, 3 trials), birth body mass (MD: 86.06, 95% CI:-104.97-277.09, P=0.38,2 trials) , the rate of cesarean section (RD: 0.02, 95% CI:-0.05-0.08, P =0.64, 5 trials) , and fasting blood glucose (MD:-0.03, 95% CI:-0.16-0.11, P =0.71, 3 trials).Conclusion Medical nutritional intervention may be a protective measure against gestational diabetes mellitus, which could help to maintain serum glucose levels within the normal range and improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Immune cells interact with their secreted cytokines forming immune microenvironment that plays an important role in the treatment resistance.Immune microenvironment induces tumor tolerance by reducing the anti-apoptotic pathway,mediating immune tolerance,inducing epithelial mesenchymal transformation and the formation of tumor stem cells,reducing the curative effect.Tumor immunotherapy has become a hot topic in the field of tumor therapy research.

Objective To observe the effects of Banxia Xiexin Decoction on intestinal microbes and 5-HT in ulcerative colitis(UC)model mice induced by drinking sodium dextran sulfate(DSS),and to analyze the mechanism of Banxia Xiexin Decoction in treating UC from the perspective of brain-gut axis.Methods 40 male C57BL6/J mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,positive drug(mesalazine)group and Banxia Xiexin decoction group.All mice except control group were induced by 2.5%DSS solution for 7 days to establish UC model.From the 8th day,mice in the above groups were given intragastric administration of sterilized water,mesalazine aqueous solution and Banxia Xiexin decoction aqueous solution.HE staining was used to observe histopathological changes of colon,ELISA to detect 5-HT content in serum,colon and brain tissues,and 16S rRNA sequencing to further detect the changes of fecal flora in model mice.Results Compared with model group,DAI index of experimental mice model group was significantly decreased after Banxia Xiexin Decoction intervention(P<0.05);IL-2,IL-4 and IFN-γ were significantly recovered(P<0.05).The histopathological score of proximal and distal colon was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Moreover,the peripheral 5-HT level was significantly decreased(P<0.05),but the central had an increasing trend.Results of intestinal flora showed that the relative abundance of Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1,unclassified_p__Firmicutes increased(P<0.05),while Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group,Lachnoclostridium,norank_f__Oscillospiraceae and Eubacterium_xylanophilum_group decreased(P<0.05).It was also found that there were significant correlations between intestinal microflora and peripheral and central 5-HT levels.Conclusion Banxia Xiexin Decoction could play a role in treating ulcerative colitis by improving the intestinal microbial composition structure of UC mice to reduce peripheral 5-HT levels and increase central 5-HT levels,thereby improving intestinal inflammatory response and relieving anxiety.

Objective:To evaluate the association of maternal nutrition status in the first trimester with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and macrosomia.Methods:378 pregnant women who took prenatal care in Shunyi Women′s and Children′s Hospital of Beijing Children′s Hospital were enrolled in the study. Blood samples were collected at first prenatal visit (<12 gestation weeks) to measure the level of hemoglobin and iron status indexes including serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, total iron binding capacity, iron saturation, transferrin saturation. The incidence of GDM and macrosomia were collected and Logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations of maternal nutrients status in the first trimester with GDM and macrosomia.Results:The incidence rate of GDM was16.9%,the incidence of anemia and iron deficiency in the first trimester were2.4% and 2.5%, respectively. After adjustment for variables such as maternal age, pre-pregnancy BMI, family history of diabetes, and parity, Logistic regression showed that in the first trimester, iron saturation>50% ( OR=0.238, 95% CI 0.068-0.831), transferrin saturation>50% ( OR=0.08, 95% CI 0.010-0.677) were protective factors of GDM; iron saturation 25%-50% ( OR=0.361, 95% CI 0.143-0.908); transferrin saturation 25%-50% ( OR=0.383, 95% CI 0.165-0.891); ferritin>30 ng/ml ( OR=0.418, 95% CI0.186-0.939) were protective factors of macrosomia. Conclusion:Maternal iron status in the first trimester might be associated with GDM and macrosomia. Thus, maternal iron status assessment in the first trimester is necessary.
