Although it is well established that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with fetal overgrowth in singleton pregnancies, little is known about its role in twins. We aimed to explore the relationship between GDM and the longitudinal fetal growth in twin pregnancies. This was a retrospective matched cohort study of GDM and non-GDM twin pregnancies delivered ≥36 weeks without other complications.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is well known to be associated with fetal overgrowth and short- or long-term adverse outcomes in singleton pregnancies; however, its relationship with twin pregnancies remains controversial, posing challenges for clinical management. Despite the heterogeneity in GDM diagnosis and racial differences among populations, two critical issues remain unaddressed. The first issue is methodological, specifically whether data on twins have been analyzed using appropriate approaches.

However, it is currently unclear whether they can induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung tissue and the related mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the function of circ_009773 in the process of EMT induced by NPs-NdO in lung tissue from in vivo as well as in vitro experiments.

Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) predominantly affects males across all ages; however, little is known about sex differences for other aspects of EoE.
Objective: To investigate associations between sex and clinical presentation, endoscopic features, treatment choice and response in EoE patients in real-world practice.
Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the multicenter EoE CONNECT registry.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the likelihood of hyperglycemia postpartum in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to identify the predictors.
Methods: The retrospective cohort study involved 1 527 GDM patients who delivered at Peking University First Hospital from 1 January 2021, to 31 December 2021. According to the blood glucose level of postpartum oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), women were divided into a normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group and a hyperglycemia group, and their characteristics and risk factors of hyperglycemia were compared.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between severity of menopausal symptoms and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among middle-aged Chinese women.
Methods: A cross-sectional study recruited 9679 women aged 40-70 years from three socioeconomic regions of China in 2018. Menopausal symptoms were assessed by the modified Kupperman Menopausal Index (KMI).
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a common complication during pregnancy that affects fetoplacental development. We demonstrated the existence of impaired trophoblast syncytialization under hyperglycemic conditions. However, the exact mechanism remains unknown.

Background: Birthweight is the most common and accessible parameter in assessing neonatal perinatal outcomes and in evaluating the intrauterine environment globally. Infants born too large or too small not only may alter the maternal mode of delivery but also may face other long-term disorders, such as metabolic diseases and neurodevelopmental delay. Studies have revealed different growth profiles of large-for-gestational-age and small-for-gestational-age fetuses in singleton pregnancies.

The high cesarean delivery rates further contribute to low breastfeeding outcomes. Skin-to-skin contact, a key component of early essential newborn care, is known to be associated with improved breastfeeding initiation and exclusivity; however, the necessary duration has not been subjected to a randomized control trial.

Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted by searching Medline, Embase, and Cochrane between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2021 for observational studies investigating progression to T2DM after GDM. Inclusion criteria were IADPSG-diagnosed GDM, studies with both GDM and controls, postpartum follow-up duration at least one year.
Background: Early essential newborn care (EENC) is a package of evidence-based and cost-effective interventions delivered around birth mainly including delayed cord clamping, immediate and sustained skin-to-skin contact, and early initiation of exclusive breastfeeding. EENC is proven effective in promoting breastfeeding and improving women's and newborns' health. However, there is little evidence on implementation of EENC on newborns born by cesarean section in China.

However, studies on risk factors of macrosomia in multipara under the new fertility policy in China are limited. We aim to explore the incidence and risk factors for macrosomia in multipara to provide the scientific basis for preventing macrosomia in multipara.

It was shown that a history of GDM was significantly associated with a higher maternal risk for GDM recurrence. The incidence of GDM recurrence was unclear because of the incidence of second-child was low before 2016 in China.

The aims of this study were to examine associations of GDM with pregnancy outcomes in Chinese urban women and to evaluate the interaction between GDM and other major risk factors for the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis included 8844 women who delivered live singletons at ≥28 weeks of gestation between June 2012 and March 2013 among Chinese urban women.

Studies reported that women in a low-risk cohort with stage 1 hypertension defined as 130-139 mmHg/80-89 mmHg, according to the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association, are more likely to develop into preeclampsia than women with normotensive in the early gestation. In this study, the authors investigated whether preeclampsia was more likely to occur in stage 1 hypertensive women compared to the normotensive pregnant women in a high-risk cohort, which was based on the randomized controlled trial of "Low-dose Aspirin in the Prevention of Preeclampsia in China." Meanwhile, the authors further evaluated the preventive effect of aspirin for preeclampsia in stage 1 hypertension subset.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has become an epidemic and has caused a tremendous healthy and economic burden in China, especially after the "two-child policy" put into effect on October 2015. The prevalence of GDM has continued to increase during the past few decades and is likely to see a further rise in the future. The public health impact of GDM is becoming more apparent in China and it might lead to the development of chronic non-communicable diseases in the long-term for both mothers and their children.
