Objective To explore the correlations between disease activity of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) and lipid profiles levels by compare the levels of plasma lipids in patients with IBD. Methods A total of 159 IBD patients admitted to Nanhai Hospital of Southern Medical University from January 2013 to May 2018 were included in the study and the clinical data were collected. There were 159 healthy people recruited in the control group. The differences of plasma levels of triglycerides(TG), total cholesterol(TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), lipoprotein(a), albumin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hCRP) between these two groups were analyzed respectively. The relationships between lipids levels and the severity of IBD were analyzed. Results Plasma levels of TG,TC,LDL-C,HDL-C and albumin were lower in IBD group than those in control group,but lipoprotein(a) was higher than control group(P<0.05). The levels of TC,LDL-C,HDL-C and albumin were lower in CD patients compared to those of UC(P<0.05). Plasma levels of TC,LDL-C,HDL-C gradually decreased with the severity of IBD. TC,LDL-C,HDL-C values were negatively correlated with hCRP levels in IBD patients. And lipoprotein(a) values was positively correlated with hCRP levels in IBD patient. However, there was no association between TG levels and the severity of IBD. Conclusion TG、TC、LDL-C、HDL-C levels are decreased and lipoprotein(a) is increased in IBD patients, especially CD patients, compared with healthy controls. Moreover, the cholesterol levels are negatively associated with more severe disease activity.

Objectives To discover the depression status and salivary cortisol(SC)level among women with threatened preterm labor, and find their associations. Methods 138 pregnant women with threatened preterm labor were recruited in this study. Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) was applied to assess women's depression, and their saliva were collected at 8am, 16pm,23pm to test the cortisol level. EPDS≥9.5 was set as the cut-off value to assign the participants to depressive group(EPDS≥9.5) and non-depressive group (EPDS<9.5). Independent samples t-test was used to compare the difference of salivary cortisol of the two groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was also applied to calculated the associations between depression and salivary cortisol. Results The average scores of EPDS in total women were (8.8±4.97). The incidence of depression (EPDS≥9.5) was as high as 46.4%.The average level of salivary cortisol at 8am,16pm and 23pm were(14.07±7.36) ng/mL, (9.27±5.03)ng/mL and (5.71±3.92)ng/mL respectively. EPDS in total women was associated with 8amSC(r=0.257, P=0.002) and 16pmSC(r=0.303, P<0.001). EPDS in non-depressive group were also associated with 8amSC (r=0.306,P=0.008) and 16pmSC(r=0.203, P=0.048). Conclusion Women with threatened preterm labor have a high incidence of depression. There was a low-moderate level of association between maternal depression and salivary cortisol. Obstetrical doctors and nurses should focus on maternal psychological health level in women with threatened preterm labor. Even those individuals comparatively with a less severe depression, we need help them to minimize the severity of depression to achieve satisfying pregnant outcomes.
