ABSTRACT
At present, the prevalence rate of diabetes presents a rising tendency. The cardiovascular disease is a major complication of diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a severe form of coronary heart disease. Compared with non-diabetic patients, the disease situation in diabetic ACS patients is more serious with more contradictory problems and difficulty in treatment. Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) plays a certain role in re-canalization of coronary artery, after PCI the problems the patients with diabetic ACS will face are still serious. traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) recognizes that the etiology and pathogenesis of diabetic ACS are deficiency in Qi and Yin, and accumulation of blood stasis and toxin inside the body. Through clinical observation and retrospective analysis, it is found that using "supplementing Qi and nourishing Yin, activating blood circulation and detoxifying"can interfere with the patients' diabetic ACS and simplify the therapeutic regimen, which is an integrated regulatory treatment with multiple links, multiple pathways and multiple targets, and is a sufficient realization of unique superiority of traditional Chinese medicine by using holistic concept, syndrome differentiation and multiple-link interference for comprehensive prevention and treatment of diabetic ACS.

ABSTRACT
There were 3 000 Zhuangs,1 102 Miaos, and 1 283 Yaos in Baise City of Guangxi,who were enrolled in this population sampling stratfying survey. Height, weight, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and lipids were determined, and compared with those of 2 000 Hans of the same town. The prevalence of hypertension and metablic syndrome in Zhuang inhabitants was high, so were the disorders of glycemia and lipidemia, while in Miao and Yao minorities, the prevalences were comparatively lower. The awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension in these minorities were insufficient.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo realize the relevance between hypertension and serum uric acid (SUA) in residents in Baise City.MethodsTwenty one thousand,five hundred and eighty eight Baise residents were examined.The body weight,height,waist circumference,hip circumference,blood pressure(BP) were recorded and blood lipidlevels,blood glucoseand serum uric acid (SUA) were tested.The relevance between hypertension and hyperuricemia (HUA) was analyzed by multi-factor variance analysis,x2 test,t test,linear regression and Logistic regression analysis.ResultsHypertension prevalence rate was 31.5％,the frequency of HUA was 12.0％,and 5.8％ residents had both.For patients with both hypertension and HUA,when compared to those with normal serum uric level,their mean diastolic blood pressure(DBP) was(84±10),(72±6) mm Hg res-pectively,there mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) was(151±12),(127±6) mm Hg respectively,and pulse pressure (PP) was (50±12),(37±8) mm Hg respectively.The average BMI of those two groups was (23.9±2.6),(21.7±2.4) kg/m2 respectively.The average TC level was (6.0±1.3),(5.2±1.1)mmol/L respectively,the average TG level was(2.3±2.2),(1.5±0.7) mmol/L respectively,and the average LDL-C level was(3.4±1.3),(3.0±1.1) mmol/L respectively.All these parameters were higher than those people without hypertension or HUA(P＜0.01).However,the situation of HDL-C[ (1.2±0.4),(1.5±0.5)mmol/L] was the opposite (P＜0.01).Regression analysis had shown that age,BMI,waist-hip ratio,SUA,blood glucose,TC,TG,HDL-C and LDL-C were independent risk factors for hypertension,while people with HUA was 3.1 times more when compared to those without HUA.The prevalence rate of HUA in people with hypertension was 2.6 times higher than that of the control group.ConclusionHypertension and HUA are two public health problems that prevalent in the residents in Baise City.Obesity,high blood glucose level and hyperlipidemia are thebasis for the development of hypertension and HUA.Hypertension can be the cause of HUA and verse versa.They may have mutual interactions.The adverse effect of HUA on-cardiovascular system should be taken into consideration clinically.
