Objective To analyze the effects of medical undergraduates' creativity tendency on participation in scientific research.Methods The self-administered questionnaire was used to survey the general characteristics,Williams creativity tendency,participation in scientific research projects of the junior students who majored in 10 medical specialties such as clinical medicine.The participation in scientific research includes the following statuses:those who do not participate in the scientific research project(NPSR,group A),those only participating in the teachers' scientific research project (PTSR,group B),those participating in college students' scientific research project as team members (TMSR,group C),and those participating in college students' scientific research project as project leaders(PLSR,group D).The differences of four dimensions scores and total scores of creativity tendency among four groups were tested using one-way analysis of variance.The effects of creativity tendency on participation in scientific research were tested with multinomial logistic regression analysis.Results The survey recycled 2 286 copies of effective questionnaires.About 39.1％(894/2 286) students participated in scientific research.The students were divided into A group(n=1 392),B group (n=108),C group(n=626),D group(n=160).The scores of adventure,curiosity,imagination,chal lenge and total scores had statistically significant differences among the four groups(P=0.000).The scores of adventure,curiosity,challenge and total scores of group C and D were higher than those of group A(P＜0.05),respectively.With NPSR as a reference category,the scores of adventure(P=0.011),imagination (P=0.023),challenge (P=0.025) of PLSR had statistically significant partial regression coefficients,and the scores of adventure(P=0.009),curiosity(P=0.002) of TMSR had statistically significant partial regression coefficients.Conclusion High creativity tendency may be one of influencing factors that promote students to participate in college students' scientific research project.Various comprehensive measures should be taken to cultivate students' creativity and improve students' scientific research ability.

Objective To explore the effect of schisanhenol on adipokine expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte and its related mechanism. Methods 3T3-L1 adipocyte was cultured in vitro and induced to differentiation and maturity. Glucokinase was added to culture medium to make an oxidative model. The expression of adipocytokines were detected under the circumstance of different doses and at different time points of schisanhenol. Results The expression of adiponectin, leptin, resistin and visfatin were decreased with the increase of glucokinase concentration. Concentration-dependent inhibition effect was most obvious in leptin (25 mU/ml Glucokinase vs Blank group, t =7.29, P＜0.01). With pretreatment of oxidative stress, the adipocytokines increased as the doses of schisanhenol increased (t=6.31,P＜0.01 in adiponectin;t=5.92, P＜0.01 in leptin; t=3.77, P＜0.05 in resistin; t=3.63,P＜0.05 in visfatin). With the extension of schisanhenol effect, the expression of four adipokines showed the process of first decrease-then increase'. The effects of schisanhenol on adipokines were parallel with the alteration of oxidative stress. Conclusions Schisanhenol increased adipocytokines expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte by reducing oxidative stress, and the increase of leptin and adiponectin were most obvious, which indicated that schisanhenol could play a role in the treatment of diabetes by Chinese herb wuweizi.

SUMO4 Met55Val variation was shown to be related to type 2 diabetes susceptibility and the vascular complications in Asian people. To further examine the related mechanisms, this study was designed to evaluate the association of SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism with insulin resistance and β cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in a Chinese population. Four hundred and twenty seven newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were selected for SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism genotype analysis. All subjects underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to estimate the insulin sensitivity and β cell function. Anthropometrics and a metabolic profile were used for phenotyping analysis. The results showed that the SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism was associated with higher insulin resistance (P<0.001) and lower insulin sensitivity (P<0.001). Patients with GG genotype had higher levels of plasma glucose, insulin and C peptide. Insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was closely correlated with body mass index (BMI) in patients with GG genotype in comparison to the counterparts with AG or AA genotype (r= -0.504 vs. r= -0.430 vs. r= -0.340). Multiple regression linear analysis showed that SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism was an independent determinant for insulin sensitivity (P=0.001), which, along with triglyceride, BMI and sex, could account for 20.1% of the variation in ISI. The result remained the same after adjusting for BMI and sex. No association was found between SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism and β cell function (all P>0.05). It was concluded that SUMO4 Met55Val variant was associated with increased insulin resistance in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.
