RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the correlation between inositol level and glycolipid metabolism in gravidas with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 GDM cases undergoing routine examination at Fujian Provincial Maternity and Children's Hospital from November 2018 to August 2019, who were selected as GDM groups. Another 50 women with uncomplicated pregnancies during the same period were selected as the control group. Blood and urine inositol level and serum glycolipid profiles were compared between the two groups, and their association was analyzed. Independent or paired-sample t test, Mann-Whitney test, Chi-square (or Fisher's exact) test, and Pearson correlation test were performed for statistical analysis. Results:The serum inositol concentration and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the GDM group were significantly lower [322.1 ng/ml (279.1-364.1 ng/ml) vs 403.8 ng/ml (391.8-425.3 ng/ml), Z=-7.879; 1.8 mmol/L (1.5-2.0 mmol/L) vs 2.0 mmol/L (1.7-2.2 mmol/L), Z=-2.419; both P<0.05], while the concentration of urine inositol, lipoprotein-a (lipo-a), 0 h-, 1 h-, 2 h-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose, fasting insulin, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were significantly higher when comparing to the control group [192.2 ng/ml (171.0-219.9 ng/ml) vs 143.8 ng/ml (121.1-158.6 ng/ml), Z=-6.834; 253.2 mg/L (65.0-349.0 mg/L) vs 148.5 mg/L(46.5-159.3 mg/L), Z=-0.187; 5.0 mmol/L (5.1-5.6 mmol/L) vs 4.4 mmol/L (4.2-4.6 mmol/L), Z=-5.547; 10.0 mmol/L (9.1-11.3 mmol/L) vs 7.8 mmol/L (7.0-8.4 mmol/L), Z=-6.987; 8.6 mmol/L(7.6-9.4 mmol/L) and 6.6 mmol/L (5.7-7.1 mmol/L), Z=-7.100; 18.2 mU/L(10.6-25.9 mU/L) vs 11.0 mU/L (6.3-12.7 mU/L), Z=-4.537; 5.4%(4.5%-5.5%) vs 5.1%(4.9%-5.4%), Z=-3.468; all P<0.05]. (2) Serum inositol concentration was negatively correlated with fasting insulin and 0 h-, 1 h-, 2 h- OGTT glucose level ( r=-0.386, -0.416, -0.350 and -0.407, respectively); urinary inositol concentration was positively correlated with 0 h-, 1 h-, 2 h-OGTT glucose levels ( r=0.402, 0.389 and 0.429, respectively) (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum inositol concentration was decreased, and urinary inositol excretion was increased in women with GDM. Measurement of changes in inositol levels during the second trimester may be helpful to assess the metabolic status of pregnant women.
RESUMO
Objective To introduce a new method and new material in repairing nasal septum perforation.Methods Under toponarcosis, at anterior border of the cartilage of nasal septum, the mucoperiosteum was cut and ablated the operative mucoperoosteum side concerned to the perforation edge to form an annular implanting bed which was 0.5 cm wide size of the mucoperiosteum. The silica gel patch according to the hole size and shape of the cartilage defect was made and and a lot of little holes were drilled on the edge of the silica gel patch for the purpose of the connective tissue approaching the holes and fixing the silca gel patch. After that, the silca gel patch was imbed in the place of cartilage defect and the mucoperisteum on the both sides were restored. Finally, the both nasal cavity were filled up with oil-gauze. Results Of the 12 cases of repairing nasal septum perforation with silica gel patch, 11 were successful. The patients was followed up for 1～4 years no relapse.Conclusions This repairing method is easy plentiful materials source, and have not any reject reaction. And success rate is fairly high.
