Objective To determine the human milk insulin(HMI) concentrations of healthy,gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT) lactating mothers and their correlative factors and to explore the effect of HMI on growth and development of neonates. Methods HMI of colostrum and mature milk collected from 148 healthy lactating mothers and 46 GDM/GIGT mothers were determined by radioimmnuoassay. The intergroup HMI levels were compared by Wilcoxon test. Results (1) In the GDM/GIGT group, colostrum HMI was 28.81 μU/ml(13. 84-43.14 μU/ml), significantly lower than that of mature milk which was 57.50 μU/ml(36. 70-82. 73 μU/ml) (Z=-4. 828,P=0. 000). HMI of mature milk in the healthy group was 35.88 μU/ml(25.91-46.85 μU/ml), lower than in the GDM/GIGT group (Z=-2.874,P=0.004). ( 2 ) The colostrum HMI of the mothers underwent cesarean section was 23.64 μU/ml (14.90-38.51 μU/ml) lower than in the vaginal delivery ones which was 38.89 μU/ml(23.14-65.54 μU/ml)(Z= -4. 510, P= 0. 000). (3) HMI of mature milk in mixed feeding cases was 42.58 μU/ml (26.60-73.06 μU/ml),significantly higher than that of breast feeding ones which was 36.32 μU/ml(26.00-46.16 μU/ml)(Z=-2. 377,P=0.019). (4) Both HMI in colostrum and mature milk were positively correlated with maternal BMI (P<0.05). Conclusions The mode of delivery significantly affects the HMI in colostrum. GDM/GIGT and the feeding patterns have some effects on HMI levels in mature breast milk. The HMI level is positively correlated with maternal BMI.

This study was aimed to investigate the curative effect on external application and rectal instillation with Chinese medicine in the treatment of chronic renal failure (CRF) with acute gouty arthritis (GA). A total of 82 CRF patients with acute GA from the First People's Hospital of Hengyang City were randomly divided into the study group (n = 42), which was treated with external application and rectal instillation with Chinese medicine, and the control group (n = 40), which was treated with prednisone. The comparison was made on symptoms and body signs of GA, blood uric acid, creatinine, creatinine clearance, adverse reaction, and recurrence rate between two groups. The re-sults showed that there was no significant difference on alleviating of joint swelling and pain between the study group and the control group. Compared with pretreatment, the blood uric acid and creatinine were significantly decreased after treatment in the study group (P< 0.01). The creatinine clearance was obviously increased (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences on blood uric acid, creatinine and creatinine clearance in the control group before and after treatment. There was no adverse reaction in the study group. In the one-month follow-up, there were only three recurrent cases in the study group, which were obviously better than the control group (P< 0.01). It was concluded that external application and rectal instillation with Chinese medicine had a good curative effect on CRF with acute GA in the near future with low recurrence rate and no adverse reaction, which was worthy of popularizing in the clinical practice.
