Body mass index growth trajectories from birth through 24 months in Iranian infants of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus

AimsChild growth is one of the important health indicators in pediatric care. Few studies focused on the impact of prenatal exposure to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on growth trajectories particular in early years of childhood. The aim of this study was identifying growth pattern of GDM exposed offspring's, comparison with new WHO child growth standards.Methods and materialsIn a population-based Longitudinal study 438 infants exposed to gestational diabetes in utero, aged 0–24 months, born between 2014 and 2016 with at least 9 visits in first 2 years of life were enrolled. Twenty health centers of Ahvaz city (Capital of Khuzestan province, located in south western of Iran) and two referral centers for neonatal hypothyroidism involved the study.ResultsOf 438 GDM exposed infants, 54.6% were boys. Incidence of low birth weight and macrosomia were 4.6% and 8.7% respectively.Results4.6% had birth weight less than 2500gr and 8.7% was rate of macrosomia. Boys had higher weight and BMI than girls. Peak of BMI was 17.8 (±2.07) at 6 months after Gender was significant factor in predicted of BMI growth trajectories in GDM exposed children (p = 0.001). BMI in GDM exposed infants, in first 2 years of life was higher than WHO growth standards 2006 (P < 0.01).ConclusionMedians of BMI in GDM exposed infants in all measures was higher than WHO reference data 2006 (P < 0.01). Obesity prevention programs must be priority in GDM exposed infants.     

辛味中药在治疗消渴证中的应用价值及中药五味理论现代研究的思考

辛味是中药五味学说中的重要性味之一,通常具有“发散”“行气”和“行血”的作用,且辛味中药在传统医学临床应用中占有较大比例。结合中药辛味的功效内涵及传统中医理论对消渴证的认识,阐述辛味中药与消渴证治疗之间的内在联系,总结辛味中药对“消渴三消”的治疗意义与价值。并在此基础上,对中药五味理论的现代研究趋势和发展方向进行思考,为同行研究提供参考。     

Meeting report: Initial World Health Organization consultation on herpes simplex virus (HSV) vaccine preferred product characteristics,March 2017

The development of vaccines against herpes simplex virus (HSV) is an important global goal for sexual and reproductive health. A key priority to advance development of HSV vaccines is the definition of preferred product characteristics (PPCs), which provide strategic guidance on World Health Organization (WHO) preferences for new vaccines, specifically from a low- and middle-income country (LMIC) perspective. To start the PPC process for HSV vaccines, the WHO convened a global stakeholder consultation in March 2017, to define the priority public health needs that should be addressed by HSV vaccines and discuss the key considerations for HSV vaccine PPCs, particularly for LMICs. Meeting participants outlined an initial set of overarching public health goals for HSV vaccines in LMICs, which are: to reduce the acquisition of HIV associated with HSV-2 infection in high HIV-prevalence populations and to reduce the burden of HSV-associated disease, including mortality and morbidity due to neonatal herpes and impacts on sexual and reproductive health. Participants also considered the role of prophylactic versus therapeutic vaccines, whether both HSV-2 and HSV-1 should be targeted, important target populations, and infection and disease endpoints for clinical trials. This article summarizes the main discussions from the consultation.     

Bypass Surgery or Stenting for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Diabetes

Background

The randomized EXCEL (Evaluation of XIENCE versus Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery for Effectiveness of Left Main Revascularization) trial reported a similar rate of the 3-year composite primary endpoint of death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke in patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) and site-assessed low or intermediate SYNTAX scores treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Whether these results are consistent in high-risk patients with diabetes, who have fared relatively better with CABG in most prior trials, is unknown.

香药“一带一路”溯源、资源开发及功效探讨

中医药分期防治新型冠状病毒肺炎的药性功效分析

新型冠状病毒肺炎(coronavirus disease 2019,COVID-19)疫情严峻复杂,探讨中医药防治COVID-19处方的用药规律及特点具有重要意义。该研究收集2020年1月1日至2月18日国家卫生健康委员会,7个省市卫生健康委员会、国家中医管理局发布的和《新型冠状病毒肺炎中医诊疗手册》收录的中医药防治COVID-19诊疗方案以及3位国医大师、4位知名中医药专家所拟的方药,按照纳入、排除标准进行筛选,应用EpiData 3.0软件,建立"防治新型冠状病毒肺炎中医处方库""防治新型冠状病毒肺炎常用中药库",共收集有效中药处方93首,组成药物共计157味。应用SPSS 18.0软件进行数据分析,结果发现:①药性寒、温居多,其中性寒69味,占43.95%;性温57味,占36.31%;性热较少,仅占1.27%;②味苦、辛、甘药物较多,不同时期药味有异,初期以辛味居多,中期、重症期以苦味为主,恢复期多用甘味药;③归经以入肺、胃、心者多,入肺经最多,占24.55%;初、中期多入肺胃,重症期则入心肾;④口服药物多无毒,仅6味药物具有毒性,分别是苦杏仁、绵马贯众、重楼、细辛、半夏、炮附片;⑤以具有解表、化湿、清热、补虚、化痰止咳平喘5类功效的药物居多,初期解表与清热并重,各占18.81%;中期化痰止咳平喘药物使用多,占29.61%;重症期清热使用最多,占33.33%;恢复期补虚使用最多,占36.47%。中药防治COVID-19的药性特点和功效分布与中医对其病因、病位、病机的认识紧密相关,临证辨治尤需注重分期用药及因地制宜。
