孕妇体内维生素D含量与新生儿湿疹的相关性

目的:研究孕妇维生素D(25(OH)D)含量与新生儿湿疹的关系,为改善孕期维生素D缺乏,预防婴儿湿疹提供临床依据。方法:选取2013年9月-2013年11月在我院生产的孕妇及所生的新生儿,调查研究对象的基本情况。采集孕妇的静脉血进行25(OH)D含量测定,并诊断新生儿湿疹的发生情况。结果:孕妇25(OH)D含量的中位数是15.17 ng/m L,新生儿湿疹的发病率是26.1%。孕妇不同含量25(OH)D水平与孕中晚期补充复合维生素、服用奶制品、摄入鱼蛋类次数、每天晒太阳时间等有关(P0.05);孕妇25(OH)D含量20 ng/m L会增加子女6个月内患湿疹的风险(OR=3.19,95%;CI:1.54,4.21)。结论:孕妇25(OH)D含量缺乏会增加新生儿湿疹的发病率。     

脂溶性维生素A、D、E与妊娠期糖尿病的相关性分析

目的:探讨妊娠期糖尿病(gestational diabetes mellitus,GDM)孕妇血清中维生素A、25-羟基维生素D、维生素E的水平及其临床意义。方法:选取在大连大学附属中山医院就诊并诊断为GDM的孕妇1000例为实验组;另选取无GDM孕妇1000例为对照组。采用反向高频液相色谱荧光法(high-performance liquid chromatography,HPLC)测定其血清维生素A、E水平;高效液相色谱液相色谱串联质谱法(high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometer,HPLC-AS/MS)测定血清25-羟基维生素D水平。结果:GDM孕妇血清中维生素A水平与无GDM孕妇比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);GDM孕妇血清25-羟基维生素D水平明显低于对照组(P<0.05);GDM孕妇血清维生素E水平明显高于对照组(P<0.05)。GDM孕妇血清25-羟基维生素D水平与血清维生素E水平呈显著负相关(r=-0.351,P<0.05)。结论:GDM孕妇血清25-羟基维生素D水平低,维生素E水平高,且两者有一定相关性,可能共同参与了GDM的发生。     

妊娠糖尿病孕妇孕期适宜增重探讨

目的：分析妊娠糖尿病（GDM）孕妇孕期各阶段体重增重情况,为GDM的预防及控制提供科学数据。方法：选取2018年10月—2019年10月在我院定期产检并分娩的孕妇700例。通过病历查询获取孕妇一般情况、妊娠期各时期体重以及妊娠结局和新生儿体重,与非GDM孕妇及IOM标准比较,分析不同孕前BMI的GDM孕妇妊娠期各阶段增重情况。结果：与非GDM孕妇相比,GDM孕妇其生产年龄、孕前BMI、有无糖尿病家族史、孕期各阶段增重及总增重差异均有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。孕妇早孕期增重过快会增加GDM的发病风险（OR=1.187,95%CI 1.090-1.293）。不同孕前BMI的GDM孕妇其孕24周后增重及总增重均较非GDM组更少（P＜0.05）,与IOM标准比较,两组增重不足、增重适宜及增重过度人数差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。仅孕前体重正常组的GDM孕妇早孕期及孕12~24周增重与非GDM组差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）,与IOM标准比较后的各组人数差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。按新生儿体重分组,排除早产的47例孕妇,发现各组间母亲孕期各阶段体重增长差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）。结论：加强早孕期体重管理有助于降低GDM的发病风险。对于已确诊GDM的孕妇其24周后体重增长普遍低于非GDM组及IOM标准,其适宜增重范围有待进一步研究。

Evaluation of Serum Selenium Levels in Turkish Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, Glucose Intolerants, and Normal Controls

The aim of the study was to investigate the association between serum selenium levels in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and glucose intolerants and compare them with those of glucose-tolerant pregnant women. This cross-sectional study was prospectively performed in a total of 178 pregnant women undergoing a 50-g oral glucose tolerance test between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation who were grouped according to their status of glucose tolerance as with gestational diabetes (group A, abnormal 1- and 3-h glucose tolerance test; n = 30), glucose intolerant (group B, abnormal 1-h but normal 3-h glucose tolerance test; n = 47), or normal controls (group C, normal 1-h glucose test; n = 101). Serum selenium levels were measured with a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer using a matrix modifier. Median maternal age and gestational age at the time of diagnosis in group A (gestational age = 24.8 [24-27]), group B (gestational age = 24.7 [24-27]), and group C (gestational age = 25 [24-28]) did not differ. Patients with gestational diabetes mellitus and those with glucose intolerants had lower selenium level than that of the normal pregnant women (P < 0.001). There was a significant inverse correlation between selenium and blood glucose level, and also selenium supplementation might prove beneficial on patients with GDM and prevent or retard them from secondary complications of diabetes.     

Changes of serum selenium in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus

Gestational diabetes is one of the most common diseases in pregnancy. In the present work, the possible relationship between serum selenium concentration and gestational diabetes was investigated. Blood samples of 234 pregnant women were collected, including 98 subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), 46 subjects with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and 90 normal pregnant women (NPW). An additional 17 samples of normal women of fertile age (NW) were collected for comparison. The hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry was used for selenium determination. The mean serum selenium levels obtained for each group were 0.0741±0.0167 mg/L for NPW, 0.0631±0.0132 mg/L for IGT, 0.0635±0.0120 mg/L for GDM, and 0.108±0.0170 mg/L for NW. Serum selenium levels were significantly lower in pregnant woman with IGT (p<0.001) and GDM (p<0.001) than in NPW. Furthermore, an inverse correlation between the serum selenium concentration and the gestational period was also observed. Selenium supplementation during gestation for pregnant women, especially with IGT and GDM, should be considered.     

High prevalence of vitamin d deficiency in pregnant women: a national cross-sectional survey

An increasing number of studies suggest that vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy is associated with multiple adverse health outcomes in mothers, neonates and children. There are no representative country data available on vitamin D status of pregnant women in Europe. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Belgian pregnant women and to assess the determinants of vitamin D status in the first and third trimester of pregnancy. The women were selected via a multi-stage proportionate-to-size sampling design. Blood samples were collected and a questionnaire was completed face-to-face. 55 obstetric clinics were randomly selected and 1311 pregnant women participated in the study. The median serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH)D] concentration was significantly lower in the first trimester (20.4 ng/ml) than in third trimester (22.7 ng/ml). Of all women, 74.1% (95%CI = 71.8–76.5%) were vitamin D insufficient (25-(OH)D <30 ng/ml), 44.6% (95%CI = 41.9–47.3%) were vitamin D deficient (25-(OH)D <20 ng/ml), while 12.1% (95%CI = 10.3–13.8%) were severely vitamin D deficient (25-(OH)D <10 ng/ml). Of all women included, 62.0% reported taking vitamin D-containing multivitamins, of which only 24.2% started taking those before pregnancy. The risk of vitamin D deficiency (25-(OH)D <20 ng/ml) was significantly higher for less educated women and women who reported not going on holidays to sunny climates. The risk of severe vitamin D deficiency (25-(OH)D <10 ng/ml) decreased for women who reported alcohol consumption during pregnancy, decreased with more frequent use of sunscreen lotion and increased for smokers and women who reported preference for shadow. In conclusion, vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent among pregnant women in Belgium and this raises concerns about the health consequences for the mother and the offspring. A targeted screening strategy to detect and treat women at high risk of severe vitamin D deficiency is needed in Belgium and in Europe.     

Impact of Vitamin D Replacement on Markers of Glucose Metabolism and Cardio-Metabolic Risk in Women with Former Gestational Diabetes—A Double-Blind,Randomized Controlled Trial

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and vitamin D deficiency are related to insulin resistance and impaired beta cell function, with heightened risk for future development of diabetes. We evaluated the impact of vitamin D supplementation on markers of glucose metabolism and cardio metabolic risk in Asian women with former GDM and hypovitaminosis D. In this double blind, randomized controlled trial, 26 participants were randomized to receive either daily 4000 IU vitamin D3 or placebo capsules. 75g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) and biochemistry profiles were performed at baseline and 6 month visits. Mathematical models, using serial glucose, insulin and C peptide measurements from OGTT, were employed to calculate insulin sensitivity and beta cell function. Thirty three (76%) women with former GDM screened had vitamin D level of <50 nmol/L at baseline. Supplementation, when compared with placebo, resulted in increased vitamin D level (+51.1 nmol/L vs 0.2 nmol/L, p<0.001) and increased fasting insulin (+20% vs 18%, p = 0.034). The vitamin D group also demonstrated a 30% improvement in disposition index and an absolute 0.2% (2 mmol/mol) reduction in HbA_1c. There was no clear change in insulin sensitivity or markers of cardio metabolic risk. This study highlighted high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Asian women with former GDM. Six months supplementation with 4000 IU of vitamin D3 safely restored the vitamin D level, improved basal pancreatic beta-cell function and ameliorated the metabolic state. There was no effect on markers of cardio metabolic risk. Further mechanistic studies exploring the role of vitamin D supplementation on glucose homeostasis among different ethnicities may be needed to better inform future recommendations for these women with former GDM at high risk of both hypovitaminosis D and future diabetes.     

The High Prevalence of Vitamin D Deficiency and Its Related Maternal Factors in Pregnant Women in Beijing

Maternal vitamin D deficiency has been suggested to influence fetal and neonatal health. Little is known about vitamin D status in Chinese pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to assess the vitamin D status of pregnant women residing in Beijing in winter and evaluate the impact of maternal factors on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels. The study was conducted on 125 healthy pregnant women. For each individual, data concerning pre-pregnancy weight, educational status, use of multivitamins and behavioral factors such as daily duration of computer use, walking and sun exposure were obtained. Serum concentrations of 25(OH)D were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L) was 96.8% and almost half (44.8%) of women were severely vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D < 25 nmol/L). The concentration of 25(OH)D was lower in women with shorter duration of sun exposure (≤ 0.5 h/day, 25.3 ± 8.9 nmol/L) than that in women with longer duration of sun exposure (> 0.5 h/day; 30.3± 9.5 nmol/L; P = 0.003). Thirty six women (28.8%) had sun exposure duration ≥ 1.5h/day. The 25(OH)D concentration in these women was 31.5 ± 9.4 nmol/L which was also much lower than the normal level. Women who reported taking a multivitamin supplement had significantly higher 25(OH)D concentrations (32.3 ± 9.5 nmol/L) when compared with non-users (24.9 ± 8.2 nmol/L; P < 0.001). Pregnant women in Beijing are at very high risk of vitamin D deficiency in winter. Duration of Sun exposure and the use of multivitamin were the most important determinants for vitamin D status. However, neither prolonging the time of sunlight exposure nor multivitamin supplements can effectively prevent pregnant women from vitamin D deficiency. Other measures might have to be taken for pregnant women to improve their vitamin D status in winter.     

25-Hydroxyvitamin D and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in maternal plasma,fetal plasma and amniotic fluid in the rat

At the end of gestation plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D were lower in pregnant than non pregnant female rats. In fetal plasma, concentrations of both metabolites were higher than in maternal plasma. This materno-fetal gradient led us to compare maternal and fetal plasma binding abilities. Fetal plasma was half as potent in binding 25-hydroxyvitamin D as maternal plasma. In fetal plasma binding was mainly due to the plasma vitamin D binding protein. On the other hand this study clearly showed that amniotic fluid contained 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. In addition this fluid was found to possess vitamin D-metabolite binding activity. The molecule responsible for this has been identified as the plasma vitamin D binding protein.     

Association of Low Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels in Pregnancy with Glucosehomeostasis and Obstetric And Newborn Outcomes

ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of maternal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) status with glucose homeostasis and obstetric and newborn outcomes in women screened for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).MethodsConsecutive women were screened for GDM at 24 to 28 weeks’ gestation during the months of maximal sunlight exposure in Spain (June through September). Serum 25(OH)D levels and parameters of glucose homeostasis were measured. Outcomes of the delivery and newborn were collected.ResultsTwo hundred sixty-six women were screened. Vitamin D deficiency (25[OH]D < 20 ng/mL) was observed in 157 women (59%). We observed an inverse correlation between 25(OH)D levels and hemoglobin A_1c, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, serum insulin, and fasting and 1-hour oral glucose tolerance test glucose levels (P <.001). With a 25(OH)D concentration less than 20 ng/mL, the odds ratios were 3.31 for premature birth (95% confidence interval, 1.52-7.19; P <.002) and 3.93 for cesarean delivery (95% confidence interval, 2.00-7.73; P <.001). A 25(OH)D concentration of 20 ng/mL had 79% sensitivity and 51% specificity for cesarean delivery and 80% sensitivity and 45% specificity for premature birth. The cutoffs with the best combination of sensitivity and specificity were 16 ng/mL for cesarean delivery (62.9% sensitivity and 61.2% specificity) and 14 ng/mL for premature birth (66.7% sensitivity and 71.0% specificity).ConclusionsIn the population we sampled, vitamin D deficiency is very common during pregnancy. Lower 25(OH)D levels are associated with disorders of glucose homeostasis and adverse obstetric and newborn outcomes.(Endocr Pract. 2012;18:676-684)     

Association of Early Pregnancy Free and Total Triiodothyronine With the Subsequent Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

ObjectiveTo estimate the association of free triiodothyronine (FT3) and total triiodothyronine (TT3) in early pregnancy and subsequent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk and define appropriate TT3 thresholds for GDM screening.MethodsThis investigation is a hospital-based cohort study of pregnant women submitted to a universal thyroid function test before 24 weeks of gestation. GDM was diagnosed according to a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. The association of maternal high FT3 and TT3 levels in early pregnancy with the risk of GDM was estimated using logistic regression. The potential nonlinear association was probed by the restricted cubic spline curve method.ResultsA total of 27 184 pregnant women and 3073 GDM cases were included in the analysis. FT3 and TT3 were associated with an increased subsequent risk of GDM in a nonlinear fashion. The adjusted odds ratios were 1.59 (95% confidence interval, 1.50-1.68) and 2.80 (95% confidence interval, 2.46-3.18) for FT3 and TT3 continuous levels, respectively. Associations were strong in euthyroid women, showed heterogeneity in women with mild thyroid dysfunction, and lacked in patients with overt hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. The TT3 thresholds of 1.5 and 2.0 ng/mL between 7 and 12 weeks of gestation and 1.6 and 2.1 ng/mL for 13 to 23 weeks of gestation effectively distinguished the subsequent risk of GDM.ConclusionThe increased FT3 and TT3 levels in early pregnancy were associated with a subsequent higher risk of GDM. These findings provide measures for early detection and potential prevention of GDM.
