The rise of bioinformatics based on computer medicine provides a new method to reveal the complex biological data. This experiment is to explore the impacts of lipopolysaccharide on fetal lung developmental maturity and expressions of lung surfactant protein B (SP-B) and lung surfactant protein C (SP-C) in rats with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), thereby discussing the mechanism of developmental disorders in rats. Forty-eight conceived female rats were experimental subjects. Twenty-eight rats were randomly selected to construct the GDM models. All conceived rats underwent section on the 21st day of pregnancy. The ultrastructure of alveolar type II epithelial cells and the morphology of lung tissue were observed under a microscope. The protein localization and expression of SP-B and SP-C were determined by immunohistochemistry; the protein levels of SP-B and SP-C were determined by Western blot. Blood glucose and body weight of the GDM group were higher than those of the control group; the number of alveoli and alveolar area in the GDM group was lower than those in the control group; the alveolar interval in the GDM group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The average absorbance of SP-B and SP-C in fetal lung tissue was significantly lower in the GDM group than that in the control group (P < 0.01). Changes in fetal lung tissue structure of rats were related to SP-B and SP-C, which was one of the main factors that affected the maturation of fetal lung tissue.
