ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Beijing urban communities.Methods Total 3316 subjects with type 2 diabetes (age 20-80 years) were recruited from 15 urban community health centers in Beijing using a multi-stage random sampling approach.Dyslipidemia was diagnosed according to Chinese Guidelines on Prevention and Treatment of Dyslipidemia in Adults:2007 version.Results Among 3316 diabetic subjects (1329 malesand 1987 females),75.6％ (2506/3316) had dyslipidemia,the prevalence was 72.5％ (964/1329)in men and 77.6％ (1542/1987) in women.The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia was 41.9％ (1388/3316) and 48.1％ (1595/3316),respectively.31.5％ (1043/3316) subjects had high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and 21.2％ (703/3316) had low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).Among all subjects with dyslipidemia only 22.9％ (575/2506) took hypolipid agents.The overall blood lipid control rates of triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC),LDL-C and HDL-C in 1393 subjects with dyslipidemia history were 48.0％ (669/1393),17.4％ (242/1393),30.9％ (430/1393) and 75.8％ (1056/1393),respectively.Diabetics with dyslipidemia had higher body mass index,waist circumference,blood pressure,plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1c.The prevalence of dyslipidemia in the overweight and uncontrolled-glucose group were 79.0％ (1678/2125),78.9％ (1756/2227),respectively.Logistic regression analysis showed that gender,age,body mass index and hemoglobin A1c were associated with dyslipidemia.Conclusions The prevalence of dyslipidemia in diabetic subjects in Beijing urban communities is high and less than one quarter patients take hypolipid agents.Age,body mass index and hemoglobin A1c are the risk factors of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetic patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study clinical characteristics of type 2 diabetic(T2D)patients with metabolic syndrome(MS)and its components in Beijing urban communities.Methods Totally,3295 T2D patients involved in a combined prospective diabetic management study from 15 urban communities in Beijing were classified as four groups, according to 2004 Chinese Diabetes Society's definition of MS, i. e, isolated T2D, T2D with one component of MS, T2D with two components of MS and T2D with three components of MS. Their clinical characteristics were analyzed. Results ( 1 ) Among 3295 T2D patients, 155 (4. 7% )were isolated T2D, 107 (32.6%) T2D with one component of MS, 1386 (42.1%) T2D with two components of MS and 679 (20.6%) T2D with three components of MS, with an overall 62.7% (2065/3295) of T2D patients complicated with MS. (2) In these T2D patients, the more components of MS they had, the higher body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist to hip circumference ratio (WHR),systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting serum levels of insulin and triglyceride (TG) and the lower level of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL) were presented (P <0. 01 ). (3) Percentage of isolated T2D in women increased from 49. 0% (76/155) to 61.9% (420/679)of those with three components of MS ( P < 0 01 ), with increasing of components of MS. (4) Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, history of hypertension, decreased HDL, increased TG,increased blood pressure, all were risk factors for T2D patients complicated with MS. Conclusions Among T2D patients in urban communities of Beijing, 95.3% (3140/3295) of them complicated with one or more components of MS, and 61.9% (420/679) of them complicated with MS. So, community diabetic management must be implemented in an all-round way, including control of blood pressure, blood lipids,body weight and so on, in addition to control of blood sugar.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate current status of use of oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in urban community of Beijing.Methods In total,3297 T2DM patients aged more than 20 years from 15 urban communities of Beijing were studied.Their body weight,height,fasting plasma glucose level and glycosylated hemoglobin Alc (HbAlc) were measured.A door-to-door questionnaire survey on use of oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin was conducted for them.All the T2DM patients surveyed were divided into four groups based on their received intervention.Results ①Of 3279 T2DM patients,454 (13.8％) received lifestyle intervention,971 (29.5％) used only one oral hypoglycemic drug,1179 (35.7％) with combined oral hypoglycemic drugs,and 693(21.0％) with insulin.②There was significant difference in average HbAlc among the four groups of T2DM patients with lifestyle intervention,only one oral hypoglycemic drug,combined oral hypoglycemic drugs,and insulin,with HbAI c of (7.0 ± 1.9) ％,(7.1 ± 1.5) ％,(7.4 ± 1.5 ) ％,and (7.5 ± 1.5 ) ％for them,respectively ( F =15.1,P ＜ 0.01 ).Proportions of the T2DM patients with HbAlc equal to or higher than 7.0％ were 32.2％,39.4％,52.1％ and 59.5％ for the four groups,respectively ( x2 =117.7,P ＜ 0.01 ).③In the T2DM patients with lifestyle intervention,32.2％ (146/454) of them with HbA1 c equal to or higher than 7.0％ were untreated with any oral hypoglycemic drug.In those with only one oral hypoglycemic drug,39.4％ (383/971) of them with HbAlc equal to or higher than 7.0％ were not treated with combined oral hypoglycemic drugs and/or insulin.In those with combined oral hypoglycemic drugs,52.1％ (614/1079) of them with HbAlc equal to or higher than 7.0％ were not received combined insulin treatment.④ Fasting plasma glucose level,treatment strategies,postprandial 2-h blood glucose level and length of the illness were independent risk factors for HbAlc level equal to or higher than 7.0％,with odds ratio (OR) of 1.757,1.256,1.175 and 1.031,respectively.⑤ In 2843 T2DM patients with oral hypoglycemie drugs and/or insulin treatment,1494 (52.6％ ) received biguanides and 693 received (24.4％ )insulin,respectively.Conclusions More than half of adult patients with T2DM do not meet the target of glycemic control of HbAlc less than 7.0％ in urban communities of Beijing,due to not active use of oral hypoglycemic drugs,and not timely adoption of combined use of oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin therapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the fetal external ear observation on standard sections and the best time with ultrasonography. Methods Total 2212 normal fetuses 17-40 weeks of gestation were divided into six groups. Fetal ears were obtained on transverse-incline view at cervical vertebra level (section A) and mandible level (section B), on parasagittal view (section C) and coronal view (section D) at external ear level. Fetal ears were evaluated and analyzed statistically. Results Among 2212 normal fetuses, 3454 ears (78.07%), 1694 ears (38.29%), 3454 ears (78.07%) and 2304 ears (52.08%) were obtained on section A, B, C and D, respectively. The obtained-rate of fetal ears on section A was the same as section C at the same week of gestation, but was significant higher than that of section B and section D (P<0.05). The obtained-rate of fetal ears was statistical different between section B and section D at the groups of 25-40 weeks (P<0.01). The obtained-rate of fetal ears was negatively correlated with gestational age (P<0.01). Conclusion It is useful and easy to observe the fetal external ear with ultrasonography to detect fetal ear abnormalities. Section A and section C are recommended to be standard observation sections for fetal external ear. Section B and section D can be used as supplementary for section A and section C. The best time for fetal external ear observation with ultrasonography is 17-24+6 weeks gestation.
