Methods: GDM pregnant women diagnosed in our hospital from March 2015 to February 2018 were selected as GDM group, and healthy pregnant women who underwent obstetric examination and delivered at the same time were selected as control group. Fasting venous blood was collected at 24 weeks of gestation and 25 (OH) D3, glucose and lipid metabolism indexes, inflammatory factors were measured. The placenta tissues after delivery were collected and the mRNA expression of biological signal molecules was measured. Results: Serum 25 (OH) D3, HDL-C, apoA1/apoB, APN, Omentin-1 and mRNA expression of GLUT3, GLUT4, IRS-1 in placenta of GDM group were significantly lower than those in control group, serum F-INS, HOMA-IR, LDL-C, IL-6, TNF-a and the mRNA expressions of TLR4, NF-κB in placenta were significantly higher than those in control group. Serum 25 (OH) D3 of GDM group was positively correlated with serum HDL-C, apoA1/apoB, APN, Omentin-1 and mRNA expression of GLUT3, GLUT4, IRS-1 in placenta, whereas negatively correlated with serum F-INS, HOMA-IR, LDL-C, IL-6, TNF-a and the mRNA expressions of TLR4, NF-κB in placenta. Conclusion: The decrease of serum vitamin D level in GDM pregnant women closely correlates with the disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism and abnormal secretion of inflammatory factors.展开更多

Children with infantile spasms showed significant mental retardation, severely abnormal electroencephalogram recordings, and bilateral diffuse cerebral cortex hypometabolism with I^F-FDG PET imaging. MRI in these cases showed brain atrophy, multi-micropolygyria, macrogyria, and porencephalia. In cases with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, 18F-FDG PET showed bilateral diffuse glucose hypometabolism, while MRI showed cortical atrophy, heterotopic gray matter and tuberous sclerosis. MRI in cases with myoclonic encephalopathy demonstrated bilateral frontal and temporal cortical and white matter atrophy and 18F-FDG PET imaging showed bilateral frontal lobe atrophy with reduced bilateral frontal cortex, occipital cortex, temporal cortex and cerebellar glucose uptake. In children who could not be clearly classified, MRI demonstrated cerebral cortical atrophy and ~aF-FDG PET exhibited multifocal glucose hypometabolism. Overall, this study demonstrated that the degree of brain metabolic abnormality was consistent with clinical seizure severity. In addition, ~SF-FDG PET imaging after treatment was consistent with clinical outcomes. These findings indicate that ~SF-FDG PET can be used to assess the severity of brain injury and prognosis in children with epileptic encephalopathy.展开更多
