Polimorfizm rs10830963 w genie receptora melatoniny 1B a cukrzyca ciążowa w populacji chińskiej — metaanaliza badań
Introduction: Studies have been conducted to investigate the association between rs10830963 of MTNR1B and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but with inconclusive results. We aimed to clarify these controversies, especially with regard to the association in the Chinese population.
Material and methods: A systemic literature reference search inclusive to August 12, 2016 yielded 35 articles, from which 11 studies met the inclusion criteria for the final meta-analysis, including 3889 patients with GDM and 6708 controls.
Results: We found statistically significant associations between rs10830963 and GDM using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) [GG genotype vs. CC genotype: OR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.38–2.10; G allele vs C allele: OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.20–1.36; GG+CG vs. CC (dominant model): OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.20–1.44; GG vs CG+CC (recessive model): OR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.26–1.58]. In subgroup analyses stratified by ethnicity, we also observed rs10830963 to be associated with significantly increased risk of GDM in all genetic models in the Chinese population.
Conclusions: Our meta-analysis indicated that the rs10830963 polymorphism might serve as a risk factor of GDM in the Chinese population.Wstęp: Wyniki dotychczas badań przeprowadzonych w celu ustalenia związku między polimorfizmem rs10830963 w genie MTNR1B a ryzykiem cukrzycy ciążowej (gestational diabetes mellitus, GDM) nie pozwoliły na sformułowanie jednoznacznych wniosków. Niniejsze badanie przeprowadzono w celu wyjaśnienia tych kontrowersji, zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do występowania tych związków w populacji chińskiej.

Improved measurements of the Dalitz decays

Within the single pole model, the parameter of electromagnetic transition form
factor for is determined to be

photon are given at 90\% confidence level
First Measurement of the Decay Asymmetry in the pure W-boson-exchange Decay
Based on of annihilation data collected at
the center-of-mass energies between and with the
BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the pure \textit{W}-boson-exchange
decay is studied with a full angular analysis.
The corresponding decay asymmetry is measured for the first time to be

result reflects the non-interference effect between the - and -wave
amplitudes. The phase shift between - and -wave amplitudes has two
solutions, which are or

decays, the slope parameter of the electromagnetic transition form factor is
measured to be , which is
consistent with previous measurements from BESIII and theoretical predictions
from the VMD model. The asymmetry in the angle between the and
decay planes, which has the potential to reveal the -violation
originating from an unconventional electric dipole transition, is also
investigated. The asymmetry parameters are determined to be

implying that no evidence of -violation is observed at the present
statistics. Finally, an axion-like particle is searched for via the decay

branching fractions are presented for the mass assumptions of the axion-like
particle in the range of

determine the CKM angle via the decay
First Observation of a Three-Resonance Structure in {non-open} Charm Hadrons
We report the measurement of the cross sections for

For solution I [solution II], we measure the mass, the total width and the
product of electronic width and nOCH decay branching fraction to be [] MeV/, [] MeV, and [] eV for the , respectively. In addition, we
measure the branching fractions {nOCH} for the first time, and {nOCH}. Moreover, we determine the open-charm (OC) branching fraction
{OC}, which supports the interpretation of as an OC pair molecular state, but contained a simple four-quark state
component. The first uncertainties are from fits to the cross sections, and the
second are systematic

A light scalar or vector particles have been introduced as a
possible explanation for the anomaly and dark matter phenomena.

Study of the decay
Based on events collected with the
BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, a partial wave analysis of

samples with a total integrated luminosity of 21.2 fb collected by the
BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. The state is
observed in the energy dependence of the cross section for the first time with a statistical significance of
