Introduction: Helicobacter pylori infection during pregnancy has some adverse effects, but its effects are still conflicting. This meta-analysis study was performed to assess the relationship between H pylori infection and adverse effects during pregnancy.
Methods: Through a systematic literature search up to August 2020, 31 studies included 16 887 pregnant females at baseline and reported a total of 5852 H pylori infection positive and 8196 H pylori infection negative pregnant females, were found recording relationships between H pylori infection and adverse effects during pregnancy.
Background: To explore the effects of metabolic syndrome (MS) on intestinal flora, inflammatory factors and infants of pregnant patients.
Methods: A total of 62 pregnant patients with MS in our hospital from March 2016 to February 2017 were randomly selected as the case group, while 62 pregnant women without MS in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. The general clinical conditions, anthropometric parameters [height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), blood pressure and body fat content], laboratory test indexes [fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and intestinal flora], and infant outcomes were compared between the two groups.
