Abstract Context While the associations between thyroid markers and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have been extensively studied, the results are inconclusive and the mechanisms remain unclear. Objective We aimed to investigate the prospective associations of thyroid markers in early gestation with GDM risk, and examine the mediating effects through lipid species. Methods This study included 6068 pregnant women from the Tongji-Shuangliu Birth Cohort. Maternal serum thyroid markers (free triiodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroid peroxidase antibody, and thyroglobulin antibody) were measured before 15 weeks. Deiodinase activity was assessed by fT3/fT4 ratio. Plasma lipidome were quantified in a subset of 883 participants. Results Mean age of the participants was 26.6 ± 3.7 years, and mean gestational age was 10.3 ± 2.0 weeks. Higher levels of fT4 were associated with a decreased risk of GDM (OR=0.73 comparing the extreme quartiles; 95% CI 0.54, 0.98, Ptrend =0.043), while higher fT3/fT4 ratio was associated with an increased risk of GDM (OR=1.43 comparing the extreme quartiles; 95% CI 1.06, 1.93, Ptrend =0.010) after adjusting for potential confounders. Multiple linear regression suggested that fT3/fT4 ratio was positively associated with alkylphosphatidylcholine 36:1, phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogen 38:6, diacylglyceride 18:0/18:1, sphingomyelin 34:1, and phosphatidylcholine 40:7 (false discovery rate adjusted P<0.05). Mediation analysis indicated 67.9% of the association between fT3/fT4 ratio and GDM might be mediated through the composite effect of these lipids. Conclusions Lower concentration of serum fT4 or higher fT3/fT4 ratio in early pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of GDM. The association of fT3/fT4 ratio with GDM was largely mediated by specific lipid species.

Abstract Introduction This study was conducted to assess the effects of stillbirth and abortion on the health of the subsequent newborn. Methods A prospective cohort study was implemented. The data were collected from January 2015 to August 2019. The study participants were selected using the simple random sampling technique. The data were collected using interviewing the pregnant mothers, reviewing medical charts, analyzing the blood samples from the newborn, and scheduled medical checkups. General linear model was used to assess the effects of stillbirth and abortion on the health of the newborn, Poisson regression was used to identify predictors of childhood infectious diseases episodes and Kaplan Meier survival curve were used to estimate time to childhood pneumonia and diarrhea. Results 2872 infants were included giving for the response rate of 88.97%. Neonate born from mothers with a previous history of stillbirth or abortion had low birth weight, low serum iron, and zinc levels. High infection episodes of diarrhea and pneumonia were observed among infants born from a previous history of stillbirth and abortion mothers. The infection episodes during the childhood period were determined by serum zinc level [IRR 0.71; 95% CI: 0.61- 0.83], birth weight [IRR 0.86; 95% CI: 0.81 – 0.91], breastfeeding frequency [IRR 0.9; 95% CI: 0.87-0.93]. Conclusion The birth weight, serum iron and zinc levels of neonates born from the previous history of stillbirth and abortion were lower. The infection episodes of newborns born from mothers with previous history stillbirth or abortion were higher.

Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between MS and the homeostatic state of trace elements, and to reveal the relationship between Fe and Zn in MS pathology Material and Method: Total of 40 (20 patients and 20 control) subjects were participated to this study. Blood samples were taken and analysed plasma iron and zinc levels using an atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Kolmogrow-Smirnov Z test used to analyse statistically significance of the data. P<0.05 was accepted as significant. Results: The plasma iron and Zn levels were found to be significantly lower in MS patients compared to control. Conclusion: Considering the important beneficial effects of iron and zinc against neurodegenerative disease and increased oxidative stress, reduced level of these trace elements should be considered in MS treatment.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral. It is considered a growth factor as it isthe metallic component of enzymes DNA polymerase, DNA dependent RNA polymerase and thymidine kinase.Objective: To find out the relationship of maternal serum zinc levels with birth weight of the babies. Period: January1989 to May, 1991. Setting: Lady Wellingdon Hospital Lahore, King Edward College, Lahore and MetallurgyDepartment PCSIR Laboratories, Lahore. Design: Prospective study Patients & methods: Among the 216 registeredpregnant women 46 subjects had no feto-maternal complications during pregnancy and they delivered babies havingbirth weight adequate for Gestational Age (AGA). Thirteen women gave birth to babies Small for Gestational Age(SGA). Blood samples were taken at the end of each trimester and serum zinc was measured by atomic absorptionspectrophotometer. Results: Serum zinc levels were significantly low (P<0.001) throughout pregnancy in women givingbirth to SGA babies. Conclusion: Serum zinc levels throughout the course of pregnancy are associated with intrauterinegrowth of the babies.b
