Factores bioquímicos relacionados con el estado nutricional del binomio madre-hijo / Biochemical factors related to the nutritional state of the binomial mother-son

Se efectuó una investigación descriptiva, longitudinal y prospectiva de 53 embarazadas, atendidas en el Policlínico Docente "30 de Noviembre'' de Santiago de Cuba, con vistas a determinar la relación entre los factores bioquímicos y el estado nutricional del binomio madre-hijo, durante el 2014. Para la realización de las determinaciones bioquímicas, se hicieron extracciones de sangre en el primer y tercer trimestres de la gestación. Se utilizó la prueba de Ji al cuadrado de independencia con un nivel de significación de 5 %. Existió asociación entre las variables bioquímicas en relación con el estado nutricional del binomio madre-hijo. Entre los efectos adversos asociados a la mala nutrición de las gestantes sobresalieron: anemia, diabetes gestacional y dislipidemias.

A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective investigation of 53 pregnant women, assisted at "30 de Noviembre" Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba was carried out, aimed at determining the relationship between the biochemical factors and the nutritional state of the binomial mother-son, during 2014. Blood extractions were made in the first and third trimester of pregnancy in order to make biochemical determinations. The chi-square test of independence was used with a 5 % level of significance. There was an association between the biochemical variables in connection with the nutritional state of the binomial mother-son. Among the adverse effects associated to the pregnant women poor nutrition there were: anemia, gestational diabetes mellitus and dyslipemias.

Clinical significance of continual monitoring multiple serum biochemical factors after traumatic fracture / 中国矫形外科杂志

[Objective] To investigate the clinical significance of changes in serum biochemical factors in trauma patients,and to improve the initial determination of the injury degree and rescue ratio.[Method]From April 2002 to December 2004,48 trauma patients were divided into two groups of serious and slight injury by ISS score.The author monitored the concentration of serum GLU,CR,BUN,LDH,CK,CKMB,LDL,GPT,GOT,IgG,IfA,IgM,C3,C4,CRP and the WBC,PLT,BT(body temperature)at the first day and after 3,7,14 days,recorded the therapy method and results.The difference between the two groups was compared by statistic method.[Result]In 48 patients,There were 12 in slight injury group,36 in serious injury group.The concentration of GLU,LDH,CK,CKMB,CRP in serious group was more than that in slight group,but the concentration of LDL,IgG,IgA,IgM,C3,C4 was lower(P0.05).There were 6 patients suffered MODS,2 cases suffered ARDS,3 patients suffered upper digestive tract bleeding,2 cases combined with infection,1 case suffered DIC,and I death in serious group;there was 1 MODS,1 infection and no death in slight group.[Conclusion]The combined use of the AIS-ISS90 score and serum biochemical factors is advantageous to the determination of injury degree and prognosis.

Effect of Dietary, Biochemical and Other Factors on Bone Mineral Density Change for 2 Years in Korean College Women

This study was conducted to examine whether bone mineral density changes in 55 young Korean college women aged 19 to 26 years over 2 years and nutritional and biochemical factors are related. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured in the spine (LS), femoral neck (FN), ward's triangle (WT), and femoral trochanter (FT) by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry three times at one-year intervals. Serum osteocalcin (OC), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and urinary cross-linked N-teleopeptides of type collagen (NTx) were measured. Dietary intake was assessed 8 times with 24-hour recall method. Physical activity (PA) was obtained by questionnaire and body fat content was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis at baseline and after 2 years. Analyses were performed on 34 subjects with all three BMD measurements. The BMDs at the lumbar spine gradually increased over 2 years, while the BMDs of three sites at the femur were sustained or increased. The mean OC, PTH had a similar pattern with the change of BMD at the femur. The mean NTx decreased over 2 years but was still higher than those in other studies. BMI, body fat, vitamin A and zinc intake had a significant correlation with LS-BMD. Femur, PTH, body fat, vitamin A, vitamin B2 and calcium intake had a significant correlation with WT-BMD and was mostly influenced by diet. By multiple regression analysis, it was shown that the significant factors affecting the LS-BMD were BMI and vitamin A intake and those affecting FN and WT were age, BMI, PTH and calcium intake. These results indicate that some Korean women still experience increases in BMD and that this was associated with PTH and vitamin A and calcium intake. Therefore, proper diet and diet management is needed to increase changes in BMD among college women.
