[Relationship between blood lipid levels of pregnant women with glucose metabolism disorders and perinatal outcomes].

Objective: To study the relationship between blood lipid levels of pregnant women with glucose metabolism disorders and the perinatal outcomes.

Methods: Three hundred and fifty-eight pregnant women with glucose metabolism disorders were enrolled in this study, including 28 cases with diabetes mellitus (DM), 152 cases with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), 178 cases with gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT). Beckman-CX9 automatic biochemical analyzer was used to measure serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).

Anti-tumor activities of four chelating agents against human neuroblastoma cells.

Background: Iron deprivation may be a therapeutic strategy for cancer. It can be achieved by using iron chelators. In this investigation, anti-neuroblastoma activities of a novel ferric chelator 2LL together with DFO, EDTA and DTPA were evaluated.
