Objective To observe the change of serum Omentin-1 in gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and to investigate its clinical significance.Methods Serum Omentin-1 level was detected in 85 cases of GDM and 85 matched cases of normal glucose tol-erance(NGT)by ELISA,the glycolipids biochemical indexes,inflammation indexes and fasting insulin (FINS)level were simultane-ous detected,then the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR)was calculated in both groups.Results The levels of prenatal prepreg-nant BMI,FPG,hs-CRP,blood lipids,blood glucose,FINS and HOMA-IR in the GDM group were significantly higher than those in the NGT group,while serum Omentin-1 level was obviously lower than that in the NGT group,difference was statistically signifi-cant (P<0.05);when prenatal obesity and/or HOMA-IR≥2,the serum Omentin-1 levels was significantly decreased.Serum Omentin-1 level had significant positive correlation with HDL,and negative correlation with prepregnant BMI,prenatal BMI,FPG, FINS and HOMA-IR.The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that prepregnant BMI,TG,FPG and FINS were independ-ent influencing factors of serum Omentin-1 in GDM.Conclusion Serum Omentin-1 is associated with GDM closely,which can re-flect the degrees of sugar,lipid metabolic disorder and insulin resistance in pregnant women,and may be involved in the occurrence and development of GDM.

AIM: The synergistic effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and endothelin- 1 (ET-1 ) on rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) proliferation was observed. The possible mechanism of the synergism was also investigated. METHODS: BrdU incorporation and cell counting method were adopted to value the pro - proliferative effect of VSMC. Western- blotting was used to observe the variation of bFGF and FGFR - 1 isoforms expression. RESULTS: bFGF and ET- 1 could promote VSMC proliferation separately, and synergistically in combination. The synergism was dose - and time - dependent. ET- 1 increased all the three bFGF isoforms and FGFR - 1 protein level in dose - and time- dependent manner. In addition, after exhaustion of intracellular PKC, the upregulation effects of ET- 1 on bFGF and FGFR - 1 expressions in VSMC both inclined. CONCLUSION: bFGF and ET- 1 had synergistic effect on VSMC proliferation. ET- 1 may increase the responsiveness of VSMC to bFGF through modulation of bFGF isoforms together with FGFR - 1, which was PKC - dependent.

Objective:To study the efficacy and immunoregulation of pidotimod combined with routine treatment in the children with recurrent respiratory tract infections. Methods:Totally 114 cases of children with recurrent respiratory tract infections were divid-ed into the control group and the treatment group according to the sequence of hospitalization. The 58 patients in the control group re-ceived the conventional treatment, while the 56 patients in the treatment group were given pidotimod additionally. After two-month treatment, all the children were given 1 -6-month follow-up, and the symptom disappearance time, clinical efficacy, recurrence, physiological indices and change of immunological function in the two groups were observed and compared. Results:The disappearance time of symptom and lung physical signs in the observation group was much shorter than that in the control group (P<0. 05);the total effective rate of the observation group was 92. 86%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (67. 24%, P <0. 001). The number of upper and lower respiratory tract infections in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the con-trol group (P<0. 05). After the treatment, the immune parameters in the observation group were significantly improved (P<0. 01), which were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The immune parameters before and after the treatment in the control group showed no statistically significant difference (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Pidotimod combined with routine treatment in the children with recurrent respiratory tract infections exhibits promising efficacy, which can improve immunity effectively.

AIM: To observe the protective effect of heat stress preconditioning on endothelial cells under anoxia and explore its mechanism. METHODS: The endothelial cells were divided into 4 groups: (1) anoxia; (2) heat stress; (3) heat stress preconditioning + hypoxia; (4) control. LDH activity was measrued by using Automatic Biochemistry Analysis-Meter. Cell death rate was determined by trypan blue, NO production was tested by measuring NO - 2/NO - 3 content in cellular culture medium by using Griess assay. RESULTS: LDH release and cell death rate of the anoxia endothelial cells significantly increased compared with control; 39℃ heat stress preconditioning reduced those increment by 29、47%, 33.67% respectively. 41℃ heat stress preconditioning has no protection against the anoxia-induced injury in endothelial cells. The NO production in anoxic endothelial cells decreased markedly. 39℃ heat stress preconditioning induced the increase in NO production in endothelial cells, but 41℃ heat stress preconditioning made the NOS activity decrease. The NO production was correlated negatively with LDH release and cell death rate in anoxic endothelial cells. CONCLUSION: The heat stress preconditioning within the limits can protect the endothelial cells from anoxia injury. The increase in NO in endothelial cells may play an important role in the mechanism of the protective effect.
