ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on neonatal metabolites.Methods:This retrospective cohort study recruited 580 singleton newborns who were born to women with GDM from January 2018 to December 2018 in Foshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital as the GDM group. Another 580 counterparts born to non-GDM singleton mothers with matching age were selected as the non-GDM group with an allocation ratio of 1 to 1. Neonatal genetic metabolic disease screening was performed within 3-7 days after birth. Two independent sample t-test, and multiple linear regression model were used for statistical analysis. Results:There were significant differences in seven amino acids and 10 fatty acids levels between the GDM and non-GDM group. The serum levels of six amino acids and eight fatty acids were increased in the GDM group, while the levels of piperamide [(140.79±32.60) vs (150.26±35.46) μmol/L, t=－4.733, P<0.001], palmitoyl carnitine [(2.59±0.81) vs (2.73±0.82) μmol/L, t=－2.940, P=0.003], and carbamate [(0.066±0.022) vs (0.069±0.022) μmol/L, t=－1.937, P=0.042] were decreased compared with the non-GDM group. After adjusting for maternal gravidity, parity, neonatal birth weight, and gender, multivariate linear regression analysis showed that GDM was positively correlated with three amino acids levels, which were cysteine ( ?=0.012), homocysteine ( ?=0.263) and leucine ( ?=4.225); and was negatively correlated with glycine ( ?=－6.271) and piperamide level ( ?=－9.885). With regard to the fatty acids, GDM was positively correlated with the neonatal propionyl carnitine ( ?=0.214), butyryl carnitine ( ?=0.014), 3-hydroxybutyryl carnitine ( ?=0.006), isovaleryl carnitine ( ?=0.009), 3-hydroxyisovaleryl carnitine ( ?=0.024), hexadecanoyl carnitine ( ?=0.001), decadienoyl carnitine ( ?=0.045), octadecadienyl carnitine level ( ?=0.128), but was negatively correlated with palmitoyl carnitine ( ?=－0.119), and carbamate ( ?=－0.002) (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Correlations between maternal GDM and the levels of amino acids and fatty acids in neonates was noted in this study, suggesting that maternal GDM may affect the metabolism of amino acids and fatty acids in offspring at early stage of life.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To establish a gas chromatography method for the determination of sabinene in ledum terpenes from Ledum palustry L. METHODS: 5% SE 30 was adopted as the stationary phase, the temperature of column was set at 65 ?C and FID detector with termperature at 200 ?C . RESULTS: Sabinene in the preparation was gained satisfactory separation and assay under the chromatographic condition. The calibration curve of sabinene was good linear in the range of 0.06 0.60 mg?mL -1 . with the corelation coefficient r=0.9998(n=6) . The average recovery of sabinene was 100.3%, RSD=1.4%, (n=5) . CONCLUSION: The method is simple, highly repeatable and accurate, and it can be used to control the quality of the preparation.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To establish a quality standard for Anshen Wendan Pill(Rhizoma Pinelliae Praeparata,Pericarpium Citri reticulatae,Poria,Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng,etc.). METHODS:Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae,Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis,Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng,and Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae were identified by TLC,and the contents of schisandrin and hesperidin were determined by HPLC. The content of cinnabaris was determined by titration. RESULTS:Pericarpium Citri reticulatae,Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis,Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng,and Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae could be identified by TLC. The calibration curve of schisandrin was linear in the range of 0.017-0.52 ?g with the correlation coefficient of 1.000 0(n=5).The average recovery of schisandrin was 99.83%(RSD=0.86%,n=6). The calibration curve of hesperidin was linear in the range 0.506 -2.53 ?g,with the correlation coefficient of 1.000 0(n=5).The average recovery hesperidin was 100.43%(RSD=1.39%,n=6). The average recovery of cinnabaris was 98.30%(RSD=1.06%,n=6). CONCLUSION :The methods are simple,accurate and reproducible. They are suitable for the quality control of Anshen Wendan Pill.
