Objective To discuss the influence of gestational hypothyroxinemia to the pregnancy outcomes and fetus development,and find the evidence of hormone replacement therapy.Methods The clinical data of 1141 gravida admitted from Nov.2014 to Oct.2015 were retrospectively analyzed,including the data of systematic antenatal examination,all the data of pregnancy,the materials of delivery,the last ultrasound examination,production status and the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) of the newborn etc.,to find the difference of related index.Results Of the 1141 gravida with integral data,200 had past history of thyroid disease,189 showed below normal of free thyroxine (FT4) and 752 were normal ones.The 189 gravida with normal TSH but lower FT4 were divided into group A (0-5％ lower than the normal FT4 value,n=60),group B (5％-10％ lower than the normal FT4 value,n=40) and group C (10％ and above lower than the normal FT4 value,n=89).The ones with both normal TSH and FT4 value served as control group.Compared to the control group,the higher premature delivery rate,incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus and cesarean delivery rate (P＜0.05) were found in group C,and more gravida in group B had a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia during pregnancy (P＜0.05).The cesarean delivery rate of group B and C were higher than group A.Meanwhile,the rate of group B was higher than control group (P＞0.05).At delivery,the maternal weight,BMI,diastolic pressure,and head circumference of fetus in the last ultrasound examination were higher in group C than in control group (P＜0.01),but the gestational weeks of the newborn were shorter in group C (38.55 ± 1.86 weeks) than in control group (39.14 ± 1.57 weeks,P＜0.01).The 189 gravida with lower FT4 were divided into two groups according to the thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) level.The head circumference of fetus in the last ultrasound examination was higher in TPOAb(+) group than in TPOAb(-) group (45.99 ± 62.36cm vs.33.23 ± 2.08cm,P＜0.01).Conclusions The influence of gestational hypothyroxinemia to pregnancy outcomes and fetus development cannot be ignored,especially for the pregnant women with lower FT4 value (10％ and above lower than the normal) or with positive TPOAb.It is suggested to take the thyroid function test in the early stage of pregnancy for those pregnant women mentioned above.

ObjectiveTo investigate the lipid metabolism in ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients classified by Aβ classification scheme.Methods Two hundred and seventy-seven ketosis-prone T2DM patients were classified according to the A β classification scheme which was based on the presence or absence of pancreatic islet β-cell autoantibody and fasting C peptide:A-β- group (78 cases ),A+ β -group (41 cases ),A- β + group ( 113 cases ) and A+ β + group (45 cases).The levels of blood lipid were determined and compared in the four groups.ResultsIn A- β -,A+ β -,A- β + and A+ β +groups,the levels of triglyeride (TG) were separately (1.72 ± 1.07),(1.86 ± 1.04),(2.21 ± 1.66) and (2.60 ± 1.87 )mmol/L,the levels of very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(VLDL-C) were separately (0.57 ±0.45),(0.61 ±0.48),(0.79 ±0.63) and(0.81 ±0.62) mmol/L,and there were significant differences in TG and VLDL-C among the four groups(P =0.004 and 0.010).There were significant differences in TG and VLDL-C between β + group ( 158 cases) and β - group ( 119 cases) [ (2.32 ± 1.72) mmol/L vs.(1.77 ± 1.06)mmol/L,(0.80 ±0.63) mmol/L vs.(0.58 ±0.46) mmol/L,P =0.001 and 0.001 ].Conclusions Ketosis-prone T2DM patients with different situations of pancreatic islet β-cell autoimmunity and function are different in lipid metabolism,so it is very lmportant to evaluate the blood lipid and perform related lipid-lowering therapy in order to reduce the occurrence of diabetic complication.

Objective To investigate factors and neonatal outcomes associated with histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).MethodsFrom Jan.2008 to Jun.2011,230 women with PPROM at 28 -33 +6 weeks of gestation undergoing deliveries in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College were studied retrospectively.According to placental histopathologic findings,those patients were categorized into two groups,including 138 cases in histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA group ) and 65 cases in non-chorioamnionitis (control)group.Age,parity,gestational age of PPROM and delivery,latency period,oligohydramnios,white blood cell (WBC) count and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level at admission and before delivery,the incidence of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS),neonatal pneumonia,bronchopulmonary dysplasia,necrotizing enterocolitis,early-onset neonatal sepsis,abnormal brain sonography findings and mortality were compared between two groups.Results( 1 ) The incidence of HCA was 68.0.％ ( 138/203 ) in all 203 cases with PPROM.(2) The occurring ruptured membrane gestation in HCA group was ( 31.1 ± 1.5 ) weeks,which were significantly earlier than (32.0 ± 1.3 ) weeks in control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The level of CRP of (8.2 ± 14.9) mg/L before delivery in HCA group was significantly higher than (5.5 ±7.2) mg/L in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of oligohydramnios and cesearean sections were 55.1％ (76/138) and 45.7％ (63/138) in HCA group,which were significantly higher than 30.8％ (20/65) and 29.2％ (19/65) in control group (P ＜0.05).There were no significant difference in patient's age,parity,WBC count and CRP at admission between two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).The latency period did not show significant difference between (140± 116) hours in HCA group and (129 ± 125) hours in control group (P ＞ 0.05).(3) Using multivariable logistic regression models,oligohydramnios ( OR =2.937 ),gestational age of PPROM ＜ 32 weeks ( OR =2.352),serum CRP level ＞ 8 mg/L before delivery ( OR =4.923 ) and latency period ＞ 48 -168 hours (OR =4.439) were significantly associated with HCA (P ＜0.05).(4) The gestational age of delivery and birth weight of HCA group were significantly lower than those of control group [ ( 32.0 ± 1.5 ) weeks vs.( 32.7 ± 1.5 ) weeks,( 1680 ± 379) g vs.(2017 ± 333) g,respectively,P ＜ 0.05 ].The incidence of Apgar ＜7,abnormal brain sonograhy findings, neonatal pneumonia,bronchopulmonary dysplasia,early-onset neonatal sepsis and mortality in HCA group were significantly higher than those in control group [20.3％ (28/138) vs.7.7％ (5/65),14.5％ (20/138) vs.4.6％ (3/65),12.3％ (17/138) vs.3.1％(2/65),5.8％ (8/138) vs.0,6.5％ (9/138) vs.0,12.3％ (17/138) vs.3.1％ (2/65),respectively,P ＜ 0.05 ].The incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis ( 1.5％,2/138 ) in HCA group was higher than that of controlgroup(0) and the incidence of NRDS ( 18.8％,26/138) in HCA group did not show statistical difference with 21.4％ ( 14/65 ) in control group ( P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionsIt was found that HCA was significantly correlated with lower gestational age of PPROM,higher serum CRP level before delivery,prolonged latency period and oligohydramnios in PPROM.HCA could increase the neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Objective To study the effect of estradiol supplementation during the luteal phase on mouse endometrial expression of leukaemia inhibitory factor and pinopodes in controlled ovarian stimulation cycles.Methods Female mice were randomly divided into four groups:group A[controlled ovarian stimulation(COS)group],group B(COS group with progesterone for luteal-phase-support),group C(COS group with progesterone and estradiol for luteal-phase-support),and group D of natural cycle group.Pinopodes were investigated by scanning electronic microscopy(SEM)in the uterine endometrium of pregnant mice on pregnancy days(pa)3-5.LEukaemia inhibitory factor(LIF)protein Was determined by immunohistochemistry in the uterine endometrium of pregnant mice on pd 3-5.Results (1)In groups B,C,and D,there were small developed pinopodes in the endometrial surface of pregnant mouse on day 3;there were large fully developed pinopodes in endometrial surface,which Was smooth with well defined borders resembling a mushroom on day 4.The regressing pinopodes were observed on day 5.In group A,there were small developed pinopodes in endometrial surface of pregnant mouse on day 3.The regressing pinopodes were seen on day 4.(2)In the pregnant mice of groups C and D,the level of LIF protein on days 3-5 ( 138.5±20. 3,143.1±19. 0) was significantly higher than group A ( 103. 2 ± 5.0, P < 0. 05 ), and strong immunostaining of LIF protein was found on day 4 of gestation. In group B, the level of LIF protein on days 3-5 ( 123.5±10. 8)was significantly higher than group A (P <0. 05), but significantly lower than groups C and D ( P <0. 05 ). Strong immunostaining of LIF protein was found on day 4 of gestation. In group A, weak immunostaining of LIF protein peaked on day 3 of gestation. In groups B, C, and D, the level of LIF protein on day 4 was significantly higher than group A on day 3 ( F = 55.76, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions Estradiol supplementation during the luteal phase can improve the expression of LIF and pinopodes in mouse endometrium in controlled ovarian stimulation cycles and redress the harmful effect on implantation window by COS. Therefore, estradiol supplementation can improve the endometrial receptivity.

ObjectiveTo evaluate left ventricle partial and global diastolic function in patients with silentmyocardial ischemia (SMI) by Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) combined with dobutamine stress echocardiography(DSE).Methods30 cases of silent myocardial ischemia(SMI) and 30 cases of normal control underwent dobu-tamine stressechocardiography(DSE). DTI was acquired at baseline and stress, and waveforms in mitral valve clos- ing, and the base and mid segments of left ventricle were used to measure diastolic early velocity(Ve), diastolic latelyvelocity(Va) ,and E deceleration time(Te). ResultsⅤ in control group increased accompanied with the increasingdose of dobutamine, Ve/Va decreased a little but not significantly. Ⅴ in the group with silent myocardial ischemia(SMI) increased at 10μg·kg-1·min-1 ,but decreased at 40μg·kg-1·min-1 compared with 10μg·kg-1·min-1 ,T inboth control and DSE group decreased at 40μg/kg accompanied with 10μg·kg-1·min-1, T in both control and DSEgroup decreased accompanied with the increasing dose of dobutamine, and there were significant differences betweenthe groups(P < 0.05). ConclusionDTI-DSE could quantificadvely detect the partial and global diastolic function ofleft ventricle.

Objective To analyze regional left ventricular systolic function before and after percutaneous translumial coronary angioplasty(PTCA),quantitative tissue velocity imaging(QTVI)was used tO detect wall motion of left ventricule.Methods 20 patients with isolated left anterior descending coronary artery(LAD)stenosis(≥70%)and 16 normal control subjects were included in this study.QTVI was performed one day before PTCA+stent,a week and a month after successful PTCA+stent.Peak systolic myocardial velocity(Vs)were measured with QTVI at different wall segments(basal and medial segments).Results Before PTCA+stent,Vs of all segments assigned by LAD were significantly lower than those of corresponding segments in normal subjects(P＜0.01).After PTCA+stent,the above segments showed a significant improvement of Vs in a week and a month(P＜0.01).Conclusion QTVI can quantitively detect changes of myocardiac motion and real-time quantify regional left ventricular systolic function before and after PTCA.

Objective To systematically evaluate the risk factors for upper extremity lymphedema after breast cancer treatment and the strength of their associations.Methods PubMed,Ovid,EMbase,and the Cochrane Library were searched to identify clinical trials published up to December 2012.The quality of included studies was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale;data analysis was performed by Stata 10.0 and RevMan 5.2;the strength of associations between risk factors and breast cancer-related upper extremity lymphedema was described as odds ratio (OR) and 95％ confidence intervals (CI).Results Twenty-two studies involving 10106 patients were included in the meta-analysis.The risk factors for upper extremity lymphedema after breast cancer treatment mainly included axillary lymph node dissection (OR =2.72,95％ CI=1.06-6.99,P=0.038),hypertension (OR=1.84,95％ CI=1.38-2.44,P=0.000),body mass index (OR =1.68,95％ CI=1.22-2.32,P =0.001),and radiotherapy (OR =1.65,95％ CI =1.20-2.25,P =0.002),while no significant associations were found for such factors as chemotherapy,age,number of positive lymph nodes,and number of dissected lymph nodes.Conclusions The incidence of upper extremity lymphedema is high among patients with breast cancer after treatment,and axillary lymph node dissection,hypertension,body mass index,and radiotherapy are the main risk factors for lymphedema after breast cancer treatment.
