Correlation Between Blood Glucose Variability Indices Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Gestational Diabetes Patients and Abnormal Glucose Levels 42 Days Postpartum.

This study was aimed at analyzing the impact of blood glucose variability (GV) in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients on glucose outcomes 42 days postpartum and pregnancy outcomes. Additionally, it explored differences between various GV indices and evaluated their predictive values. This retrospective study included 75 pregnant women diagnosed with GDM.

Gentle fundal pressure to facilitate vaginal delivery: A randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: Fundal pressure during the second stage of labor is widely practiced but understudied. Violent fundal pressure can cause maternal and fetal injuries. Many providers believe the maneuver is effective.

Evaluation of alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase ratio and high-density lipoprotein for predicting neonatal adverse outcomes associated with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.

Background: To determine the association between lipid metabolism and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), and explore the value of maternal alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in predicting adverse neonatal outcomes in women with ICP.

Methods: A total of 147 pregnant women with ICP admitted to The Fourth Hospital of Shijiazhuang and 120 normal pregnant women in the same period were selected in this study. The Mann-Whitney U test and Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in clinical data.

Correlation between high serum ferritin levels and adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Aims: To explore the association between higher serum ferritin (SF) levels in mid-pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnancies, then develop a predictive cut-off value that might effectively predict the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in future clinical.

Methods: The study involved 201 pregnant women with GDM. 201 gestational age and parity matched normoglycemic pregnant women were taken as control group.

The association between vitamin D levels in the second trimester of pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus.

Background And Aims: 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) affects glucose metabolism by increasing insulin secretion and insulin receptor expression. However, whether 25(OH)D deficiency will increase the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has not been clearly reported. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between vitamin D levels in the second trimester of pregnancy and the risk of GDM.

Clinical Significance and Correlation Decomposition of Cord Blood NO, Activin A Levels, and MCA/UA with Fetal Distress.

The clinical significance and correlation of cord blood NO, activin A levels, and middle cerebral artery (MCA)/umbilical artery (UA) with fetal distress are explored. 120 puerperae who delivered in the obstetrics department of our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 are selected as the examination subjects. According to the diagnostic criteria of fetal distress, they are divided into 70 cases of fetal distress and 50 cases of normal delivery.

Effect of Low-Frequency Electric Pulse Technique Combined with Carboprost Methylate Suppositories on Recovery of Gastrointestinal Function and Postoperative Complications of Patients with Scarred Uterus Undergoing Secondary Cesarean Section.

The study aims to explore the effect of low-frequency electric pulse technique combined with carboprost methylate suppositories on recovery of gastrointestinal function and postoperative complications of patients with scarred uterus undergoing secondary cesarean section (C-section). The clinical data of 120 patients with scarred uterus undergoing secondary C-section treated in our hospital from February 2019 to February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were equally divided into experimental and control groups according to their admission order, where each group included 60 patients. After the operation, patients in the control group received routine nursing and conducted breastfeeding, and carboprost methylate suppositories were used for postoperative hemostasis.

1H-NMR based metabolomic profiling of cord blood in gestational hypothyroidism.

Background: Gestational hypothyroidism (GHT) is a common pregnancy-related thyroid disfunction. The adverse outcomes by GHT has been increasingly recognized, leading to more public awareness of the disease. However, comprehensive understanding of the prognosis of GHT has not yet achieved.

Integrated metabolome analysis reveals novel connections between maternal fecal metabolome and the neonatal blood metabolome in women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), which is correlated with changes in the gut microbiota, is a risk factor for neonatal inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs). Maternal hyperglycemia exerts epigenetic effects on genes that encode IEM-associated enzymes, resulting in changes in the neonatal blood metabolome. However, the relationship between maternal gut microbiota and the neonatal blood metabolome remains poorly understood.
