Objective To investigate whether the genetic variant rs10830963 of melatonin receptor 1B(MTNR1B)gene is associated with increased risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods Eighty-seven GDM subjects(GDM group)and 91 normal pregnant women (control group)were randomly recruited form Women and Children's Hospital of Quzhou,Zhejiang Province,China.The allele and genotype frequencies of the rsi0830963 in MTNR1B gene were determined in all participants with PCR amplification and DNA sequencing.The allele and genotype frequencies of rs10830963 were compared to determine their differences between GDM subjects and normal controls.In addition,multiple linear regression was conducted to investigate the association patterns of the risk allele with fasting glucose and HbAlc levels.Results Both GG genotype and G allele frequencies of the rs10830963 loci in the GDM group were significantly higher than those in the controls,and women with G allele and GG genotype were associated with increased GDM risk(OR=1.53,95％ CI:1.005-2.324,P=0.047 and OR=2.16,95％ CI:1.052-4.434,P=0.034 respectively).After adjusting for age,body mass index before pregnancy,and family history of diabetes mellitus,women carrying GG genotype still had a higher GDM risk(OR =2.07,95％ CI:1.048-4.372,P =0.022).Multiple linear regression showed that the rs10830963 G allele was positively correlated with higher levels of fasting glucose(0.068 mmol/L,P=0.015)and HbAlc(0.073％,P=0.028).Conclusions Genetic variant rs10830963 in MTNR1B gene may contribute to the susceptibility to GDM in Chinese population and the rs10830963 G allele is a risk factor for the GDM susceptibility.

Normal feed and stone-leading feed were used respectively to raise guinea pigs in the control group and stone-causing group. The dynamic changes of total cholesterol, mucoprotein, total phospholipid and total cholic acid were measured during various raising periods. The formation of crystal nucleus and the growth of gallstone were studied under polarzing microscope. It was found that the contents of total cholesterol, mucoprotein, total phospholipid and total cholic acid in the gallbladder bile of control group were nearly the same during the whole feeding process, and no shaped stone crystal was formed. In the stone-causing group, however, the contents of total cholesterol and mucoprotein gradually went up and the contents of total phospholipid and total cholic acid gradually went down. After 10 days' feeding, significant difference was seen,and after 25 days' feeding, highly significant difference was noted. With the increase of feeding days, the liquid crystal vesicles in the bile increased, became bigger, gathered in strings, and then formed liquid crystal cells. The stone crystal growth along these nuclei of bile liquid crystal cells spread out rapidly, and the micro-crystal grains formed further in number. It was shown that, during the process of gallbladder stone formation, bile liquid crystal cells form a basic kind of nucleus, and the gathering and merging of bile liquid crystal vesicles be the key to crystal growth. So cholesterol and mucoprotein play the role of nucleation-leading factors in enhancing the gathering and merging of liquid crystal vesicles, and phospholipid and cholate play the role of anti-nucleation during the formation of gallbladder stone.

Medical education is the cornerstone of the development of health care.In the context of advance-ments in New Medical Science,the Second Hospital of Jilin University took the reform of the school's clinical medi-cal education system as an opportunity to strengthen the teaching quality assurance capabilities,focus on improving teachers'teaching capabilities,and pay attention to the quality of student training,thus comprehensively building a new pattern of innovative development of medical education.It was also proposed that university-affiliated hospitals should focus on the overall national strategic plan for medical education development and deepen medical education reform,use artificial intelligence to lead the innovative development of medical education,and use the construction of new-era textbooks as the carrier of medical education innovation to promote deeper reforms in medical education.
