A series of 72 type I diabetics was grouped according to the mean value of 24-h albuminuria (AU) determined from three 24-h urine collections: group A (n = 49, normoalbuminuria, AU less than or equal to 26 mg/24 h), group B (n = 16, microalbuminuria, AU less than or equal to 26 mg/24 h), group C (n = 7, clinically significant proteinuria, AU greater than 260 mg/24 h). Glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb) was examined five times in three-month intervals. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BPs and BPD) were determined from four values taken in the course of one year. Glomerular filtration (GF) was established a single examination of 24-h creatinine clearance. Fluorescent angiography was used to examine the fundus of the eye. The function of the cardiovascular autonomic nervous system was assessed on the basis of three tests: variation of heart rate during deep respiration, response of heart rate to upright position, Valsalva's maneuver. Group C had the longest duration of diabetes, the highest GHb, the lowest GF, and the highest BPS and BPD values. The number of diabetics with different findings on the fundus of the eye (normal finding/simple retinopathy/preproliferative and proliferative retinopathy) was as follows: group A--15/31/3, group B--9/6/1, group C--0/3/4. Group C exhibited the most pronounced derangement of the cardiovascular autonomic nervous system, whose extent depended on the length of diabetes duration and on the quality of metabolic compensation. Between the groups A and B no significant differences were found in any of the parameters studied.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Gestosis index score at delivery was compared with factors reflecting the fetal development in a series of 95 patients with EPH-gestosis collected in Okayama University Medical School in 1975-1979. The prediction of small for date (SFD) was performed by means of multivariate analysis of 10 variables, i.e. gestosis index, maternal body weight, height, uterine fundal length, abdominal circumference, maternal age at delivery and urinary estriol within one week prior to delivery. The result was that gestosis index was as useful as uterine fundal length in predicting SFD. The more gestosis index score increased, the more markedly the fetal development ws disturbed. Especially in the cases with scoring above 4 and in those with hypertension and proteinuria, the incidence of SFD increased obviously. No correlation between gestosis index and neonatal asphyxia was noticed. From the growth pattern of uterine fundal length and BPD, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) in pregnancy with EPH-gestosis occurred mainly within the third trimester of pregnancy. The functional development of the fetus with EPH-gestosis was evaluated with the use of urinary estriol level and fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring. In the cases with EPH-gestosis scoring above 4, extreme disturbance of functional development of the fetus was observed.

During three and a half years we observed 83 single pregnancies all delivered by caesarean section. All of them had a mild (systolic blood pressure > 140, diastolic > 90 and proteinuria > 0.5 g/dl) or a severe preeclampsia (systolic blood pressure > 160, diastolic > 100 and proteinuria > 3.0 g/dl). We found significantly twice as many abnormal uteroplacental blood flow velocities in the severe preeclampsia group than in the mild one. These results draw us to the conclusion that possible pathological changing of the vessels is due to preeclampsia which does not need to correlate with a placental insufficiency and fetal growth retardation. An abnormal uteroplacental blood flow velocity connected with an abnormal umbilical blood flow velocity raises the fetal morbidity and the early childhood morbidity. Fetal outcome in mild compared to severe preeclampsia definitively shows a worse prognosis for those fetuses whose mother developed a prepartal severe preeclampsia. A distinctly increased rate of cerebral haemorrhages, abnormal neurological signs, acute respiratory distress syndromes and bronchopulmonary dysplasia was found. Finally we show an additional risk for fetal outcome in absent or reverse enddiastolic flow velocity (AREDFV) in the severe preeclampsia group. We observed in the AREDFV group with severe preeclampsia in comparison to a group of AREDFV without maternal preeclampsia more than twice as many cerebral haemorrhages, abnormal neurological signs and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
