Abstract

Correlation between expression levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and adipocytokines and oxidative stress index malondialdehyde (MDA) in placental tissues of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was investigated. Seventy-two cases of GDM pregnant women who received routine prenatal examination and gave birth in the Department of Obstetrics, Binzhou City Center Hospital from March 2016 to May 2017 were collected as the observation group. Another 80 cases of normal pregnant women who gave birth at the same time were selected as the control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression levels of AGEs, visfatin, APN and IL-6 in the lysate of placental tissues. MDA levels were measured by thiobarbituric acid method. Correlation of expression levels of AGEs, visfatin, APN, IL-6 and MDA were analyzed. The expression level of MDA in placental tissues of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (t=16.44, P<0.001). The correlation of expression levels between AGEs, adipocytokines and MDA in placental tissues of the two groups was analyzed, and it was found that the expression levels of AGEs, visfatin and IL-6 in the two groups were positively correlated with MDA. There was a significantly negative correlation between APN and MDA in the two groups. The incidence of cesarean section, neonatal hypoglycemia, fetal distress and macrosomia in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of membrane rupture and premature birth between the two groups (P>0.05). In conclusion, the expression levels of AGEs, visfatin and IL-6 in placental tissues of GDM pregnant women are positively correlated with MDA. There is a significant negative correlation between APN and MDA, and they play an important role in the pathogenesis of GDM.
