Abstract:Objective To detect the expressions of blood lipid indexes, vascular endothelial injury markers and bone metabolism indexes in patients with late-pregnancy diabetes mellitus, and to explore their clinical significance. Methods Totally 110 patients with late-pregnancy diabetes mellitus from January 2015 to December 2016 were selected as the observation group and 110 healthy pregnant women in the late stage of pregnancy during the same period were selected as the control group. The blood samples of all the pregnant women were collected at the 36th week of pregnancy, and uterine artery pulsation index (UAPI) was detected. The levels of blood lipid indexes, vascular endothelial injury markers and bone metabolism indexes were compared between the two groups. The correlations of UAPI and birth weight of the newborns with blood lipid indexes, vascular endothelial injury markers and bone metabolism indexes in the patients with late-pregnancy diabetes mellitus were analyzed, and the correlations among blood lipid indexes, vascular endothelial injury markers and bone metabolism indexes were also analyzed. Results The birth weight of the newborns, the levels of blood glucose, triglyceride (TG), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), bone gla protein (BGP), total type I collagen amino terminal extension peptide and β-collagen degradation products in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). UAPI was positively correlated with TG but negatively correlated with high-density cholesterol in the patients with late-pregnancy diabetes mellitus (P < 0.05). And there was a positive correlation between the birth weight of the newborns and TG (P < 0.05). Conclusions The levels of blood lipid and bone metabolism in the patients with late-pregnancy diabetes mellitus are elevated, it suggests that the patients with late-pregnancy diabetes mellitus may be associated with abnormal lipid metabolism and vascular endothelial injury, and the body can be compensable to enhance bone metabolism.
