[Remote fetal monitoring for gestational diabetes mellitus].

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of remote fetal monitoring network in the antepartum management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods: Non-stress test (NST) was preformed in 50 GDM cases by remote electronic fetal monitoring network (test group), and another 50 monitored by daily fetal movement counting and regular NST check-up in hospital served as the control group. Abnormal NST and perinatal outcome were compared between the two groups.

[Association study between a polymorphism of aldosterone synthetase gene and the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome].

Objective: To investigate the relationship between -344T polymorphism in aldosterone synthetase (CYP11B2) gene promoter region and the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods: Ninety two patients with PCOS and controls were genotyped according to the fragment length (273 bp and or 202 bp) of CYP11B2 gene promoter by the technique of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The levels of luteinizing hormone, follicular stimulating hormone, estrodiol, progesterone, prolactin, testosterone, plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma angiotensin II (PANG II) and aldosterone in the basal state were also determined.
