ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the prevalence of diabetes,rates of awareness,treatment and control of diabetes mellitus (DM)in Xiaoshan.Methods Multistage stratified cluster sampling design was used ,and questionnaire interview and laboratory test of impaired fasting glucose(IFG),oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)were carried out among adults aged above 18 years in six towns in Xiaoshan.Results Totally 4 473 residents were selected.The prevalence standardized rate of DMwas 6.76% (6.87% for male and 6.64% for female,P >0.05).The rate of awareness,treatment and control of DMwas 56.30%,47.06% and 29.41%.The results of logistic regression analyses showed that being older was risk factor of the awareness (OR =1.971;95%CI:1.445 -2.689),of the treatment (OR =1.530,95%CI:1.126 -2.078),and the control (OR =2.185;95%CI:1.519 -3.143).The family history was risk factor of DM's rate of awareness (OR =3.876;95%CI:2.159 -6.957)and treatment (OR =3.615;95%CI:2.126 -6.146).Conclusion The prevalence of DMis high among the residents in Xiaoshan,but the rates of awareness,treatment,and control are low.Education, screening,and treatment of DMare urgently recommended.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the effect of Shin-I essential oil inhalation on blood lactate changes in rats subjected to treadmill exercise.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>: Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (n=12) were randomly divided into the control or the Shin-I group. Rats were subjected to a treadmill exercise program (15 m/min for 30 min). After exercise, rats were exposed to 200 µL of water or Shin-I essential oil, respectively, using a nebulizer for 180 min during the recovery period. Blood samples were collected every 15 min. Blood glucose and lactate concentrations were determined in a CMA 600 analyzer.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>: The basal glucose and lactate levels were no significantly different between two groups. After exercise, glucose levels were slightly increased to about 110%-120% of the basal level in both groups. Lactate levels of both groups reached to 110%-140% of basal levels during exercise. In the recovery period, lactate levels further increased to 180% of the basal level and were maintained at a plateau in the control group. However, lactate levels gradually decreased to 60%-65% of the basal level in the Shin-I group. Lactate clearance was significantly enhanced after Shin-I essential oil inhalation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>: Our results provide evidence that Shin-I essential oil inhalation may accelerate recovery after exercise in rats.</p>
