ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the main reasons for the difference of sedum development between Daur adults in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. Methods Nine circumference values and six skin fold thickness of 544 adults of Daur nationality (304 in Xinjiang and 240 in Inner Mongolia) were investigated by random sampling. Circumferences, skin fold thickness and obesity indexes of Daur nationality in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia were analyzed. Results There were significant differences in 8 circumference without thigh circumference, 2 skin fold thickness such as triceps skinfold, subscapularis skinfold, 3 obesity indexes such as Verv index, body fat rate, body mass index(BMI). Correspondence analysis showed that subcutaneous fat development was stronger in northern regions than in southern regions. Conclusion The Daur nationality in Inner Mongolia has more fat and less muscle than that in Xinjiang. The problems of overweight and obesity in both regions are serious. It is suggested to pay attention to exercise and diet. Low temperature,lack of physical exercise, low temperature, low economic and medical standards and unhealthy eating habits can thicken subcutaneous fat.
ABSTRACT
This paper investigates and counts the ethnic medicines of the Ewenki,Daur and Oroqen ethnic groups,which are known as the " Three Minorities" in Inner Mongolia. Through the methods of literature collection,interview investigation,and resource investigation,different ethnic medicines were collected on the main diseases,drug varieties,drug-injection sites,and drug administration methods. Through data statistics and SPSS analysis,the similarities and individual differences between the three ethnic groups were clarified. The results indicated the predicament of the current national medicine,which is helpful for the protection and inheritance of ethnic medicine.

Total 967 patients with diabetes mellitus treated in Morindawa People's Hospital from June 2012 to June 2014 were included in the study,among them 425 (44.0%) were of Daur nationality and 542 (56.0%) were of Han nationality.The clinical data and laboratory tests were analyzed and compared between two groups.Compared with Han nationality,Daur patients presented a younger average age[(55 ± 1 1) y vs.(58 ± 1 0) y,P=0.000],an earlier age of onset[(50±10)y vs.(53 ± 1 1) y,P=0.000],a higher percentage of males (54.8% vs.46.9%,P =0.008),a higher percentage of rural residents (42.1% vs.36.2%,P =0.034),a lower level of fasting blood-glucose (FBG) [(9.25 ± 3.37) mmol/L vs.(10.28 ±4.33) mmol/L,P =0.000],higher levels of HbA1c [(7.61 ± 1.71)% vs.(7.29 ± 1.63)%,P=0.008],triglyceride (TG) [(2.91 ±2.06) mmol/L vs.(2.36 ±2.13) mmol/L,P =0.008],low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) [(3.22 ± 1.06) mmol/L vs.(3.01 ±0.92)mmol/L,P=0.020],systolic blood pressure (SBP) [(139.48 ± 21.58) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) vs.(136.37 ± 23.44) mmHg,P =0.002],diastolic blood pressure (DBP) [(87.23 ± 12.59) mmHg vs.(85.32 ± 12.52) mmHg,P =0.019],blood uric acid [(324.97 ± 106.45) μmol/L vs.(285.32 ± 98.69) μmol/L,P =0.000] and the ratio of urine microalbumin to urine creatinine [(2.29 ±5.57) mg/g vs.(0.12 ±0.98) mg/g,P =0.000].The results show that Daur diabetic patients are.younger in age,with more severe disorders in HbA1 c,blood pressure,blood uric acid and lipids levels,which increase the probability of renal damage or cardiovascular diseases in these patients.
