To explore the influence of glucose level of 75 g oral glucose tolerance test ( OGTT ) druing pregnancy on delivery of large for gestational age infants. This research selected 790 cases of patients diagnosed as gestational diabetes mellitus( GDM) , 478 cases of pregnant women diagnosed as normal glucose tolerance( NGT) from Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University in 2014 and followed up until they delivered. Single live births were selected, risk factors which had influence on offsprings, birth weight were analysed. GDM group had significantly higher rate of delivering large for gestational age(LGA)infants than that of NGT group(47. 30% vs 31. 30%, P<0. 05). Adjusting for confounding factors, it suggested that 2 h plasma glucose level of 75 g OGTT was an independent risk factor for the delivery of LGA infants, and 1 mmol/L glucose increment in 75 g OGTT 2 h plasma glucose level, mayincreasetheriskofLGAby29%(OR=1.29,95%CI1.05-1.58,P=0.02). The2hplasmaglucoselevelof75 g OGTT is an independent risk factor for delivery of LGA infants.

Objectives To construct a cDNA subtractive library of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) in anagen with suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and clone differentially expressed genes related to DPCs in anagen. Methods Total RNA was isolated from DPC of anagen and telogen follicles. Then ds cDNAs were synthesized in turn using SMART cDNA synthesis technique. After cDNAs from anagen and telogen follicle DPCs were hybridized with each other twice and underwent two rounds of nested PCR, PCR products were ligated with arms of T/A plasmid vectors to set up the subtractive library. Selected clones were verified by reverse Nothern blot and DNA sequencing, and the acquired sequences were analyzed for homology based on Genbank nucleotide database. Results cDNA subtractive library of DPCs in anagen follicle was set up successfully with high subtractive efficiency. Thirty-five genes were identified with 22 known functional genes and 13 unknown functional genes. Conclusions These results demonstrate the effectiveness and sensitivity of SSH in detecting differentially expressed genes from a small amount of clinical samples. Information about such alterations in gene expression might be useful for elucidating the genetic events in hair follicle growth regulation.
