Titile：Gestational diabetes mellitus

Position：Senior Investigator and Chief of Clinical Chemistry at the NIH

Unit：National Institutes of Health

Research interest：diabetes mellitus

Abtract：Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been defined as “any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy”. The reason to identify GDM is that it produces complications for both the fetus (e.g., large baby, neonatal hypoglycemia) and mother (e.g., pre-eclampsia, increased risk of cesarean delivery and markedly increased likelihood of subsequent type 2 diabetes). Treatment of GDM reduces some of the adverse outcomes. There is considerable controversy around the best way toidentify women with GDM. Both the screening and diagnostic criteria vary among countries and often differ between obstetric and diabetes organizations in a single country. Recommendations for screening range from “do not screen” to selective screening (high risk only) to universal screening (screen everyone). Moreover, the techniques used for screening vary; fasting glucose, random glucose and oral glucose challenge are all used. The criteria for diagnosis are even more controversial. The major items of contention are the number of steps (1 or 2), the glucose load (75 g or 100 g), the duration of the test (2 h or 3 h), the glucose cutoff values and whether 1 or 2 high glucose values are required.

Titile：Application of tandem mass spectrometry in the detection of testosterone in PCOS patients.

Position：Clinical laboratory director

Unit：Beijing obstetrics and gynecology hospital, capital medical university

Research interest：Medical testing

Abtract：Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease in women. Direct measurement of biologically active free testosterone (FT) has important clinical significance in the diagnosis and treatment of PCOS. At present, the international standard method for detecting FT is direct radioimmunoassay, but this method is radioactive and is not suitable for popularization and application. With the rapid development and popularization of LC - MS / MS, FT detection on this device will be a very good method and will provide high - throughput and accurate results for clinical practice, and ultimately improve the diagnostic accuracy of PCOS.

Titile：Safe and Effective Medications in Pregnant Women.

Position：Program Director

Unit：The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Research interest：Obstetrics and Pediatrics Pharmacology and Therapeutics

Abtract：Pharmacoepidemiological surveys indicate that nearly two-thirds of all pregnant women take up to four medications either by prescription or over-the-counter during pregnancy and labor. Most of such medication use is either off-label or based on an empiric understanding of dosing, safety, and efficacy rather than based on well-designed and carefully monitored clinical studies/trials during pregnancy. In addition, pregnancy induces extensive physiological and biochemical changes that involve the mother, placenta, and the fetus and typically lead to variations in the absorption, distribution, and elimination of drugs as well as response to treatment. Current therapeutic practice has not taken into account these profound physiological and biochemical changes in pregnant women. Despite progress on developingtailored therapeutics for obstetric patients in recent years, information guiding safe and effective drug therapy for obstetric patients remains incomplete. This session is intended to give a high-level overview of the efforts and approaches that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) made to address this unmet medical need in the United States.

Titile：Assessing Ovarian Reserve: From FSH to AMH?

Position：Associate Professor, Pathology Medical Director, EndocrinologyCo-Medical Director, Core Laboratory

Unit：University of Utah School of Medicine

Abtract：Infertility is a complex issue that affects a striking number of couples. The causes of infertility are often multifactorial and statistics show that the incidence is only increasing. There are biological, psychological, and financial ramifications that all need to be considered as we approach this problem on an international level. The clinical assessment of infertility in women often involves a physical exam and measurement of several hormones. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E2) have long been used in fertility investigations, but each has its limitations. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by immature ovarian follicles in the female and is correlated with a woman’s “ovarian reserve,” or size and quality of the ovarian follicle pool. AMH’s use as a newer biomarker of overall fertility and even as a proposed predictor of menopause has been well documented in the literature. Additionally, it is suggested to have utility as a predictor of ovarian response in in vitro fertilization procedures.
