Objective To compare the clinical characteristics of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and normal gestational glucose metabolism at the 25th weeks of pregnant. Methods Sixty-eighty patients with GDM (GDM group) and 68 patients with normal blood glucose(control group) were enrolled in this study. During 25 weeks of pregnancy, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), blood pressure, fasting insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, uric acid, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured and body mass index (BMI), homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistence index (HOMA-IR), insulin sensitivity index (ISI) were computed. The results were compared between two groups. Results The age in GDM group was significantly higher than that in control group: (31.38 ± 0.54) years vs. (29.50 ± 0.56) years, P<0.05. The systolic pressure in two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05), but diastolic blood pressure in GDM group was significantly higher than that in control group:(73.2 ± 0.8) mmHg vs. (70.9 ± 0.8) mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa, P<0.05. The body weight and BMI in GDM group were significantly higher than that in control group:(65.67 ± 1.76) kg vs. (57.76 ± 1.11) kg, (24.77 ± 0.61) kg/m2 vs. (22.11 ± 0.42) kg/m2, P<0.01. The levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting insulin and HOMA- IR in GDM group were significantly higher than those in control group (5.546 ± 0.746)% vs. (5.085 ± 0.034)% , (17.870 ± 1.015) mU/L vs. (14.400 ± 0.634) mU/L, 4.192 ± 0.271 vs. 2.645 ± 0.128, but the level of ISI in GDM group was significantly lower than that in control group:0.014 ± 0.001 vs. 0.020 ± 0.001, and there were significantly differences (P<0.01). The levels of uric acid, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in two groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). Conclusions Compared to those with normal blood glucose, the patients with GDM have the characteristics of higher age, higher body weight, higher BMI, higher diastolic blood pressure , higher level of insulin, insulin resistance and decreased insulin sensitivity.

Objective To evaluate the precision of the ACCU-CHEK Performa glucose monitor,the Optium Xceed glucose monitor,the Breeze glucose monitor and the Contour glucose monitor.Methods A total of 102 patients (diabetic patients or un-diabetic patients) who visited our endocrinology outpatient department were randomly selected.The venous blood samples were collected using the laboratory auto-analyzer,and the synchronous finger tip capillary blood were collected using the ACCU-CHEK Performa glucose monitor and the Optium Xceed glucose monitor,or using the Breeze glucose monitor and the Contour glucose monitor.Results The correlation coefficients between VPG by the laboratory auto-analyzer and CBG by the four kinds of glucose monitors was good,and R values were 0.990,0.985,0.963,0.952,and there was no significant difference between the CBG of Breeze glucose monitor and the same VPG(P ＞ 0.05).When the blood glucose concentration was higher than 4.2mmol/L,and compared with the VPG detected by synchronous measurement laboratory,95％ of the CBG test results detected by four kinds of blood glucose meters were in the range of ± 20％.Conclusion The four kinds of glucose monitors can provide high accurate.

Objective:To evaluate a new wax formed by laser sintering technology(SW-1)for dental use.Methods:The melting point,hardness and viscosity of SW-1,normal dental modeling wax and LongYuan's wax formed by laser sintering were tested and compared.Linear shrinkage,plastic deformation and toughness of SW-1 were estimated by national standards.Results:There were no significant differences between SW-1and the normal dental modeling wax in the properties of melting point 〔(61.1?1.63)℃,(61.7?1.96)℃〕and hardness 〔(75.2?0.62)HA,(74.0?0.54)HA〕;but when compared with melting point(78.3?1.07)℃and hardness(94.0?0.38)HA of LongYuan's wax formed by laser Sintering,those of SW-1 were significantly different.Viscosity of SW-1(2 016?136.9)MPa?s showed significant difference when compared with that of normal dental modeling wax(9.06?0.258)MPa?s and LongYuan's wax formed by laser Sintering(2 876?81.7)MPa?s.Linear shrinkage of SW-1(0.2%)met the national standards,while plastic deformation(10%,43 ℃)and toughness(broken when bent,20 ℃)of SW-1 did not meet such standards.Conclusion:SW-1 may be the proper laser sintering material for dental use,and has a good prospect in future.

Objective To construct the suppression subtracted cDNA library of deltamethrin-resistant Aedes albopictus. Methods Total RNA was extracted from the deltamethrin-resistant (R-lab) and -sensitive (S-lab) isolates, mRNA was obtained after purification. Double stranded cDNAs were synthesized after reverse transcription. Two subtractions were performed by suppression subtractive hybridization with S-lab as tester and R-lab as driver or S-lab as driver and R-lab as tester. Enriched different expressed cDNA was cloned into pMD18-T vector to construct subtractive libraries. Results The subtracted cDNA libraries contained 580 and 477 positive clones respectively. The PCR results of 150 clones picked randomly from each library showed that the positive ratio of constructed cDNA libraries was 93%, with a length of cDNA fragments ranged from 150 bp to 750 bp. Conclusion The suppression subtracted cDNA library of deltamethrin-resistant Ae. albopictus is constructed.
