Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and clinical data in predicting gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Clinical data of 318 pregnant women with GDM and 200 healthy pregnant women were retrospectively analysed. The age, BMI and caesarean section in GDM were significantly higher than in normal group. Serum and placental levels of PAPP-A were significantly lower in GDM than in normal group. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that serum levels of PAPP-A were negatively correlated with BMI and blood glucose level. Binary logistic regression analysis displayed that PAPP-A were the potential factors influencing GDM. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for PAPP-A combined with BMI in predicting GDM was 0.941, significantly higher than that of the single one. The potential of PAPP-A in the first trimester is limited in predicting GDM. PAPP-A combined with BMI is highly conductive for predicting GDM.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? GDM not only increases the risk of perinatal morbidity, but also results in an increased risk of long-term sequelae for both mother and child including diabetes, cardiovascular disease obesity. Previous data indicate that besides glycemic control in the second trimester, interventions initiated early in pregnancy can reduce the rate of GDM in pregnant women. The expression of PAPP-A in serum of GDM pregnant women was decreased in the first trimester. Whereas, whether PAPP-A can be as an early predictor of GDM is not clear.What do the results of this study add? The present study shows that PAPP-A MoM was less than 0.6757 in the first trimester of pregnancy is more prone to GDM. The potential of PAPP-A in the first trimester is limited in predicting GDM. PAPP-A combined with BMI is highly conductive for predicting GDM.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Early GDM prediction is crucial for prevention and management of GDM, to cope with the rising prevalence of GDM and reduce later life chronic disease of both mother and child. Based on the level of PAPP-A MoM and BMI, interventions such as lifestyle changes initiated early in pregnancy shouldbeenabledin pregnant women.

Trimester-Specific Serum Fructosamine in Association with Abdominal Adiposity, Insulin Resistance, and Inflammation in Healthy Pregnant Individuals. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14193999. [PMID: 36235652 PMCID: PMC9572673 DOI: 10.3390/nu14193999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to (1) characterize the variations in serum fructosamine across trimesters and according to pre-pregnancy BMI (ppBMI), and (2) examine associations between fructosamine and adiposity/metabolic markers (ppBMI, first-trimester adiposity, leptin, glucose homeostasis, and inflammation measurements) during pregnancy. Serum fructosamine, albumin, fasting glucose and insulin, leptin, adiponectin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were measured at each trimester. In the first trimester, subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissue thicknesses were estimated by ultrasound. In the 101 healthy pregnant individuals included (age: 32.2 ± 3.5 y.o.; ppBMI: 25.5 ± 5.5 kg/m2), fructosamine concentrations decreased during pregnancy whereas albumin-corrected fructosamine concentrations increased (p < 0.0001 for both). Notably, fructosamine concentrations were inversely associated with ppBMI, first-trimester SAT, VAT, and leptin (r = −0.55, r = −0.61, r = −0.48, r = −0.47, respectively; p < 0.0001 for all), first-trimester fasting insulin and HOMA-IR (r = −0.46, r = −0.46; p < 0.0001 for both), and first-trimester IL-6 (r = −0.38, p < 0.01). However, once corrected for albumin, most of the correlations lost strength. Once adjusted for ppBMI, fructosamine concentrations were positively associated with third-trimester fasting glucose and CRP (r = 0.24, r = 0.27; p < 0.05 for both). In conclusion, serum fructosamine is inversely associated with adiposity before and during pregnancy, with markers of glucose homeostasis and inflammation, but the latter associations are partially influenced by albumin concentrations and ppBMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to retrospectively analyse the influence of epidural labour analgesia (ELA) on delivery and maternal and neonatal outcomes in nulliparous women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using propensity score-matched analysis. DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING Primary care practices in a teaching hospital from March 2018 to October 2021. PARTICIPANTS A total of 816 delivery records of nulliparous women with GDM were collected and retrospectively analysed. INTERVENTIONS ELA and non-ELA (NELA) cohorts were assessed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The primary outcome assessed was delivery type (spontaneous, assisted vaginal or caesarean). The secondary outcomes assessed included labour duration and maternal and neonatal outcomes. RESULTS A total of 137 propensity score-matched pairs of ELA and NELA patients were analysed. ELA was associated with a decreased rate of caesarean section (18.3% vs 46.0% in the ELA vs NELA cohort, respectively; p<0.05) and an increased occurrence of assisted vaginal delivery (35.8% vs 12.4% in the ELA vs NELA cohort, respectively; p<0.05). The duration of the first and total stages of labour was prolonged, the occurrence of postpartum fever increased, and the duration of hospital stay was shortened in those receiving ELA (all p<0.05). Additionally, neonatal birth weight, plasma glucose levels and neonatal macrosomia occurrence increased, while neonatal intensive care unit admissions and neonatal hypoglycaemia decreased in the ELA versus the NELA group (all p<0.05). With respect to other maternal and neonatal outcomes, both cohorts were similar. CONCLUSIONS The use of ELA decreases the rate of caesarean section and improves maternal and neonatal outcomes in nulliparous women with GDM. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR-2000033091.

Abstract
Macrosomia is a common perinatal complication, with a series of adverse effects on newborns and pregnant women. However, the effects of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) on non-diabetic fetal macrosomia (NDFMS) remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether aberrant lncRNA expression in the placenta is involved in the pathogenesis of NDFMS and to elucidate its biological mechanisms. The expression profile of lncRNAs in the placentas of pregnant women with NDFMS was investigated using an Agilent Human LncRNA Microarray. Differentially expressed lncRNAs were selected for validation using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Additionally, the function of lncRNA ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 antisense RNA 1 (USP2-AS1) was investigated using a trophoblast cell line. The results revealed that 763 lncRNAs were upregulated and 129 lncRNAs were downregulated in the placentas of women in the NDFMS group (|FC| ≥2.0). A total of 10 lncRNAs (|FC| ≥4.0, signal value ≥50) were selected for validation using two-stage RT-qPCR, indicating that the expression trends of the 10 differentially expressed lncRNAs in the NDFMS group (n=8 vs. 8 and 48 vs. 48) were consistent with the microarray data. In addition, a significant downregulation in the levels of lncRNA USP2-AS1 was observed in both the microarray data and second-stage verification. The overexpression of lncRNA USP2-AS1 induced G1 phase cell cycle arrest and the number of cells entering S phase was reduced. In addition, the viability of HTR-8/SVneo cells was significantly inhibited when lncRNA USP2-AS1 was overexpressed. Therefore, these findings demonstrated that lncRNAs were significantly differentially expressed in the placentas of pregnant women with NDFMS and that the downregulation of lncRNA USP2-AS1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of NDFMS, by promoting trophoblast cell viability.

Effects of Early Nursing Monitoring on Pregnancy Outcomes of Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus under Internet of Things. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:8535714. [PMID: 35693264 PMCID: PMC9177328 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8535714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
To analyze the effect of early nursing intervention based on fetal heart signal extraction algorithm and Internet of Things (IoT) wireless communication technology on the adverse pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and newborns, 88 pregnant women diagnosed with GDM who underwent the 75 g glucose tolerance test at 24-28 gestational weeks in the hospital were selected as the research objects. According to the different intervention methods, the patients were divided into 44 cases of the experimental group (nursing intervention based on maternal and infant monitoring system) and 44 cases of the control group (outpatient follow-up intervention). The results showed that the compliance score and diet compliance rate of patients in the experimental group were signally higher than those in the control group at 1 and 3 months after intervention (P < 0.05). The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood glucose 2 hours after the meal, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group at 1 and 3 months after intervention (P < 0.05). The number of giant babies, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, fetal distress, premature delivery, and birth weight in the experimental group was all lower than those in the control group, while the Apgar scores were higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). To sum up, the intervention based on the intelligent maternal and infant monitoring system could timely help pregnant women adjust their diet structure and optimize the management of blood glucose and blood lipids, thus effectively improving the adverse pregnancy outcome and maintaining the health of pregnant women and newborns.

Abstract
Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with adverse health consequences for women and their offspring. It is associated with maternal body mass index (BMI) and may be associated with gestational weight gain (GWG). But due to the heterogeneity of diagnosis and treatment and the potential effect of GDM treatment on GWG, the association between the two has not been thoroughly clarified. Compared to body weight, BMI has the advantage that it considers height during the whole course of pregnancy. Understanding BMI changes during pregnancy may provide new evidence for the prevention of GDM. Methods This study investigated the BMI change of pregnant women based on a retrospective study covering all communities in Tianjin, China. According to the results of GDM screening at 24–28 weeks of gestation, pregnancies were divided into the GDM group and the non-GDM group. We compared gestational BMI change and GWG in the two groups from early pregnancy to GDM screening. GWG was evaluated according to the IOM guidelines. Logistic regression was applied to determine the significance of variables with GDM. Results A total of 41,845 pregnant women were included in the final analysis (GDM group, n = 4257 vs. non-GDM group, n = 37,588). BMI gain has no significant differences between the GDM and non-GDM groups at any early pregnancy BMI categories (each of 2 kg/m2), as well as weight gain (P > 0.05). Early pregnancy BMI was a risk factor for GDM (OR 1.131, 95% CI 1.122–1.139). And BMI gain was associated with a decreased risk of GDM in unadjusted univariate analysis (OR 0.895, 95% CI 0.869–0.922). After adjusting on early pregnancy BMI and other confounding factors, the effect of BMI gain was no longer significant (AOR 1.029, 95% CI 0.999–1.061), as well as weight gain (AOR 1.006, 95% CI 0.995–1.018) and GWG categories (insufficient: AOR 1.016, 95% CI 0.911–1.133; excessive: AOR 1.044, 95% CI 0.957–1.138). Conclusions BMI in early pregnancy was a risk factor for GDM, while BMI gain before GDM screening was not associated with the risk of GDM. Therefore, the optimal BMI in early pregnancy is the key to preventing GDM. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12884-022-04672-5.

Abstract
Background: This study aims to examine and determine the role of race/ethnicity in chronic conditions in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during any of their previous pregnancies. Methods: We used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from2007-2016 to identify women who self-reported prior GDM and chronic disease diagnoses such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, depression, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).We used bivariate analysis using the chi-square test (χ²) and multiple logistic regressions to perform statistical test for associations, taking into consideration design and sample weight. Results: Among participants with prior GDM diagnoses, black women had a 74.4% prevalence of chronic disease, followed by Whites, 58.5% Hispanics, 58.0%, and Asians, 51.9% (P=0.009).Black women with prior GDM diagnoses had 2.4 odds of having chronic conditions compared to Whites (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.40, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.28-4.50). In addition, they had higher odds of being former smokers (AOR=1.73, 95% CI=1.01-2.96),current smokers (AOR=1.96, 95% CI=1.06-3.61), having a body mass index (BMI) of 25-29.9(AOR=2.55, 95% CI=1.10-5.87), or a BMI ≥30 (AOR=4.09, 95% CI = 2.05-8.17) compared to their White counterparts. Hispanic women had lower odds of being diagnosed with GDM and associated chronic diseases. Conclusion: Black women with GDM were disproportionally affected and at higher risk to be diagnosed with chronic conditions. Smoking and obesity were strongly associated with chronic disease diagnoses. Our findings also suggest a 'Hispanic Paradox', requiring further study. These findings inform primary care clinicians and Obstetricians, and Gynecologists of at-risk patients who could benefit from lifestyle modification recommendations and counseling.
