Abstract
We have explored the effect of nutrition management based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine nutrition on the complications of subclinical gestational hypothyroidism. A total of 228 pregnant women from the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University and the Wuxi Xishan People’s Hospital who were diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism between June 2020 and April 2022 were recruited. The patients were divided into the control group (n = 120) and intervention group (n = 108) using the historical control method. The intervention group adopted the traditional Chinese medicine nutrition management model, while the control group was given conventional gestational nutrition management. Iodine nutritional status, maternal and neonatal outcomes, pregnancy complications, pregnancy stress, and social support were compared between the two groups before intervention, at 20 weeks of pregnancy, and before labor. The intervention group had significantly lower iodine nutritional status, better postpartum nutritional status, better pregnancy outcome, lower incidences of pregnancy complications, and better pregnancy stress and social support than in the control group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, traditional Chinese medicine-based nutrition management can effectively control iodine nutritional status, improve maternal and neonatal outcomes, reduce pregnancy complications, and decrease pregnancy stress in postpartum women.
期刊介绍:
Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on chemistry, biology and therapeutic applications of nutraceuticals and functional foods. The major goal of this journal is to provide peer reviewed unbiased scientific data to the decision makers in the nutraceutical and food industry to help make informed choices about development of new products.
To this end, the journal will publish two types of review articles. First, a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help market and deliver the product for medically proven use. This journal will also serve as a forum for nutritionists, internists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and all those interested in preventive medicine.
The common denominator of all of the topic to be covered by the journal must include nutraceuticals and/functional food. The following is an example of some specific areas that may be of interest to the journal. i) Role of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients on cardiovascular health, cancer, diabetes, ocular health, mental health, men’s health, women’s health, infant nutrition, ii) Role of herbals on human health, iii) Dietary supplements and sleep, iv) Components of diet that may have beneficial effect on human health, v) regulation of apoptosis and cell viability, vi) Isolation and characterization of bioactive components from functional foods, vii) Nutritional genomics, and viii) Nutritional proteomics.
