RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effectiveness of waist circumference cut-off values in predicting the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and risk factors in adults in China.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A cross-sectional survey was condcuted in 14 provinces (autonomous region, municipality) in China. A total of 47,325 adults aged⋝20 years were selected by multistage stratified sampling, and questionnaire survey and physical and clinical examination were conducted among them. MetS was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria and modified IDF criteria.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The age-standardized prevalence of MetS was 24.2% (22.1% in men and 25.8% in women) and 19.5% (22.1% in men and 18.0% in women) according to the IDF criteria and modified IDF criteria respectively. The age-standardized prevalence of pre-MetS was 8.1% (8.6% in men and 7.8% in women) according to the modified IDF criteria. The prevalence of MetS was higher in urban residents than rural residents and in northern China residents than in southern China residents. The prevalence of central obesity was about 30% in both men and women according to the ethnicity-specific cut-off values of waist circumference for central obesity (90 cm for men and 85 cm for women). Multivariate regression analysis revealed no significant difference in risk factors between the two MetS definitions.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Using both the modified IDF criteria and ethnicity-specific cut-off values of waist circumference can provide more useful information about the prevalence of MetS in China. Conclusion Using both the modified IDF criteria and ethnicity-specific cut-off values of waist circumference can provide more useful information about the prevalence of MetS in China.</p>

Objective To investigate the effect of combined use of insulin and acarbose on glucose excursion in type 1 diabetic patients.Methods 120 cases were randomly divided into control group and observation group.The control group received preprandial ultra-short effect insulin and long-acting insulin before bedtime while the observation group received acarbose 50 mg added to the medicine taken by the control group.Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) was used to watch the blood glucose fluctuations.Data related to blood glucose level,glucose excursions after meals and hypoglycemia at night were compared between patients in the two groups.Results The average blood glucose (9.37 ± 1.70) mmol/L,the largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE) ( 11.42 ± 2.73 ) mmol/L,hyperglycemia-area under curve 0.89 ± 0.54,mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) (5.13 ± 2.23) mmol/L,M-value (18.93 ± 11.43) mmol/L and insulin dosage (42.11 ± 14.42)U/day of observation group were significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05 ).Glucose excursions after meals and the times( 0.33 ± 0.50 )/day,the maintenance time (43.75 ± 43.50)/min and low glycemic index ( LBGI ) (0.005 ± 0.002 ) mmol/L of hypoglycemia at night were also significantly lower than in the control group,with statistically significant (P<0.05) differences.Conclusion The blood glucose fluctuation was significantly improved,with the decrease of insulin dosage while both glucose excursions and hypoglycemia at night reduced in patients with typel diabetes mellitus after the acarbose treatment.We suggested that this program deserve further observation.
RESUMO
Objective To compare insulin secretion and action with impaired fasting glucosc (IFG),impaircd glucose tolerance (IGT) and combined glucose intolerance (CGI,IFG and IGT) between Han and Uygur populations living in Xinjiang.Methods A multicenter cross-section survey (The Third Diabetes Epidemiological Survey in China) was conductcd in Xinjiang from 2007 to 2008 including 2203 subjects (Han 1118,Uygur 1085) underwent an oral glucosc test (OGTT).Homeostasis model assessment on insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and β cell function (HOMA-β)were calculated.The ratio of incrcmcntal insulin(Δ130 ) and glucose (ΔG30)response was used to evaluate the early insulin secretion.ΔI30/ΔG30/HOMA-IR was used to evaluate the glucosc disposition index (DI).Results There were differences noticed regarding the waist circumstances (WC),body mass index (BMI),lipids,0 and 120 min insulin lcvcls in different glucose tolerance status between the Hans and Uygurs.Data related to NGT,IFG,CGI,WC from the Uygurs was significantly diffcrcnt from that of the Hans (P<0.01),while the NGT,IFG,IGT and 120-minute plasna insulin levels of the Hans were significantly different from that of the Uygurs (P<0.01).HOMA-IR and HOMA-β in Hans were significantly different from those of the Uygurs (P<0.01).There were significant differences noticed on data reoated to Δ130/ΔG30,and DI among the two populations with different ethnicities.Conclusion Regarding the regulation of impaired glucose,the insulin resistance among the Hans was significantly different from that of the Uygurs,while there seemed to be a compensatory secretion of pancreatic β cells which played the role of maintaining blood glucose homeostasis.
