Objective To investigate the role ofglutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody(GAD-Ab)and protein tyrosine phosphatase autoantibody(IA-2A) in postpartum follow-up of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).MethodsGAD-Ab,IA-2A,insulin and glucose metabolism index were measured in 82subjects with normal glucose tolerance (control group) and 84 patients with GDM(GDM group) during 24 to 28 weeks in pregnancy,postpartum 6 to 12 weeks and 2 years.GDM group was divided into antibodies positive group (GAD-Ah or IA-2A were positive) with 18 cases and antibodies negative group (GAD-Ab and IA-2A was negative) with 66 cases.Results Homeostasis model insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in GDM group was higher than that in control group (3.87 ± 2.17 vs.2.31 ± 0.52,P ＜ 0.05 ).Homeostasis β -cell function index (HBCI) and 30 min net increment of insulin/30 min net increment of glucose ( △ I30/△ G30) in GDM group were lower than those in control group[206.38 ± 138.06 vs.422.43 ± 228.93 and (20.16 ±11.38) mU/mmol vs.(26.54 ±24.30) mU/mmol,P ＜0.05].The numbers who had the family history of diabetes mellitus and the used of insulin for treatment in antibodies positive group were higher than those in antibodies negative group[ 83.3％ (15/18) vs.28.8％ (19/66) and 77.8％ ( 14/18 ) vs.30.3％ (20/66) ],HOMA-IR,△ I30/ △ G30 and HBCI in antibodies positive group were lower than those in antibodies negative group [3.20±0.84 vs.4.02±0.36,(16.81 ±2.91) mU/mmol vs.(21.55± 11.11) mU/mmol and 124.95 ± 5.03 vs.217.43 ± 115.64,P＜ 0.01 ].Fasting plasma glucose (FPG),2 hours postprandial glucose (2hPG)and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in antibodies positive group were higher than those in antibodies negative group during postpartum 6 to 12 weeks and 2 years [postpartum 6 to 12 weeks: (8.20 ±3.11)mmol/L vs.(5.39 ±0.76) mmol/L,(15.22 ±7.29) mmol/L vs.(8.15 ± 1.93) mmol/L,(7.26 ± 1.04)％ vs.(5.88 ±0.41)％ ;postpartum 2 years: (8.91 ±2.80) mmol/L vs.(4.93 ±0.66) mmol/L,(15.75 ±7.87)mmol/L vs.(7.85 ± 1.79) mtmol/L,(7.18 ± 1.22)％ vs.(5.64 ± 0.32 )％,P ＜ 0.01].△ I30/ △ G30 and HBCI were significantly decreased in antibodies positive group postpartum 2 years.No change of the above parameters in antibodies negative group was found.The occurrence rate of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) was 16.7％(3/18) and 33.3％(6/18) postpartum 6 to 12 weeks and 2 years in antibodies positive group,there was no T1DM in antibodies negative group.ConclusionsWomen with GDM are partly associated with T1DM.Requiring insulin therapy during pregnancy and GAD-Ab or IA-2A positive have considerable risk for developing T1DM.It is also an important predictor to GDM after parturition.

Objective To compare the efficacies of early intensive and moderate insulin therapy on the prognosis of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods The clinical data of 78 patients with SAP complicated by hyperglycemia who were admitted to the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2005 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into the intensive insulin therapy (IIT)group (31 patients) and moderate insulin therapy (MIT) group (47 patients).The target levels of blood glucose were 0.80-1.10 g/L(4.4-6.1 mmol/L) in the IIT group and 1.44-1.80 g/L(8.0-10.0 mmol/L) in the MIT group,respectively.The effects of the 2 therapies on the prognosis of the patients were compared.All data were analyzed by the t test or chi-square test.Results The daily intravenous insulin dosage,fasting glucose level and incidence of severe hypoglycemia were ( 35 ± 11 ) u,( 1.02 ± 0.13 ) g/L[ (5.7 ± 0.7 ) mmol/L] and 10％ (3/31 )in the IIT group,and ( 24 ± 15 ) u,( 1.58 ± 0.21 ) g/L[ ( 8.8 ± 1.2 ) mmol/L] and 2％ ( 1/47 ) in the MIT group.A significant difference was detected in the daily intravenous insulin dosage between the 2 groups( t =12.76,P ＜=0.05),but no significant difference was detected in the incidence of severe hypoglycemia between the 2 groups (x2 =0.91,P ＞ 0.05 ).The levels of albumin and prealbumin on the 14th day were ( 34 ± 6) g/L and (231 ± 31 ) mg/L in the IIT group,and (35 ± 5)g/L and (241 ± 29)mg/L in the MIT group,respectively,with no significant difference between the 2 groups( t =-1.94,-1.68,P ＞ 0.05).The incidences of abdominal infection,circulatory dysfunction,respiratory dysfunction and acquired kidney injury were 23％ (7/31),32％ (10/31),26％ (8/31)and 13％ (4/31) in the lIT group,and 26％ (12/47),36％ ( 17/47),30％ (14/47) and 23％ (11/47) in the MIT group,with no significant difference between the 2 groups(x2 =0.09,0.13,0.15,1.33,P ＞ 0.05).The scores of APPACHE Ⅱ on the 14th day were 9 ± 4 in the IIT group and 9 ± 3 in the MIT group,respectively,with no significant difference between the 2 groups ( t =- 0.60,P ＞ 0.05 ).There were 4 ( 13％ ) patients in the IIT group and 7( 15％ ) patients in the MIT group died of multi-organ dysfunction syndrome,including 2 patients in the IIT group and 6 patients in the MIT group complicated with sepsis.There was no significant difference in the mortality between the 2 groups ( x2 =0,P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Compared with MIT,early IIT could not improve the prognosis of the patients with SAP.MIT is appropriate for SAP patients complicated with hyperglycemia.

Objective To explore the efficiency of continuous glucose monitoring system(CGMS) and blood glucose self-monitoring (SMBG)in evaluating blood glucose excursion in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) complicated with pregnancy. Methods Twenty-five patients having suffered from T1DM complicated with pregnancy were selected randomly during June 2012 to July 2015. All subjects underwent blood glucose monitoring by CGMS and SMBG for 72 h, including the data of blood glucose before meal, 2 h post-meal blood glucose (2hBG) and blood glucose at 2:00 AM. Results The level of the highest blood glucose in CGMS was significantly higher than that in SMBG:(10.60 ± 2.11) mmol/L vs. (7.50 ± 1.18) mmol/L, P<0.01. The level of the lowest blood glucose in CGMS was significantly lower than that in SMBG:(3.60 ± 1.06) mmol/L vs. (4.50 ± 1.15) mmol/L, P<0.01. The level of mean blood glucose in CGMS and SMBG had no significant difference:(7.20 ± 1.18) mmol/L vs. (7.30 ± 1.15) mmol/L, P>0.05. The rate of hypoglycemia(blood glucose<3.3 mmol/L) in CGMS was 4.6%, and in SMBG was 1.9%. Through adjusting the treatment by CGMS, the blood glucose before meal, 2hBG and blood glucose at 2:00 AM at 49-72 h were significantly lower than that at 0-24 h (P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with SMBG, CGMS has a relatively larger blood glucose monitoring range and can sensitively evaluate blood glucose excursion, CGMS provides a scientific basis to develop a more rational and effective strategies for controlling diabetes.
