In the present study, 21 treated male and 22 treated female patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) were examined and compared with controls of the same sex, age and body mass (23 males, 21 females). Cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol in male and female patients with NIDDM were significantly higher than in male and female controls. HDL-cholesterol in male and female patients with NIDDM was not different from those of male and female controls. Apolipoproteins A-I and B in male and female patients with NIDDM were higher than in male and female controls. [Apolipoproteins A-I (g/L) male 1.40 +/- 0.21 vs 1.25 +/- 0.15, p less than 0.005; female 1.56 +/- 0.23 vs 1.42 +/- 0.24, p less than 0.025.

The controversy between the higher apolipoprotein A-I and the higher incidence of atherosclerosis in patients with NIDDM makes the clinical usefulness of this laboratory measurement doubtful in these patients.","PeriodicalId":22189,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan yi xue hui za zhi.

To assess the effect of a community diabetes care program (CDCP) on knowledge acquisition and its impact on metabolic control, a 2-year study including 260 non-insulin-dependent diabetics from two different districts in Taipei city was conducted. The experimental group consisted of 140 cases. The remaining 120 cases served as controls. Preintervention knowledge scores were significantly correlated with the formal education level and the duration of diabetes [Diabetic knowledge score = 50.06 + 0.82 (duration of education in years) + 0.23 (duration of diabetes in years), p less than 0.001]. A large increase in the knowledge scores for experimental patients was noted 1 year after intervention. A significant difference in diabetic knowledge still existed between the control and experimental groups 2 years after intervention. HbAlc levels (mean +/- SD) for the experimental patients decreased from a baseline of 7.47 +/- 1.87% to 7.23 +/- 1.68% and 6.88 +/- 1.30% 1 year and 2 years after intervention, respectively. However, no significant decrease was found in the control group (7.20 +/- 2.00% at baseline and 6.98 +/- 1.96%, and 7.14 +/- 2.25% at 1 year and 2 years after intervention, respectively). Reduction in body weight was found in the experimental group. In order of baseline, 1 year and 2 years after intervention, the results were 63.6 +/- 9.6, 62.6 +/- 9.3 and 62.5 +/- 9.2 kg, respectively. There was no remarkable change in body weight in the control group during the 2-year observation period. In conclusion, an integrated approach to CDCP provides a cost-effective method for management of diabetes in the community.","PeriodicalId":22189,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan yi xue hui za zhi.

We injected 5 mg once a day for five to seven days as a routine treatment. For the first 10 eyes, the injections were started immediately after the operation. However, for the remaining 9 eyes, the injections began 24 to 48 hours postoperative. If the appearance of the bleb was not prominent or enriched in vascularity, the duration of the injections should be extended to 10 to 14 days. At least 8 months of follow-up were available for 19 eyes, including aphakic glaucoma, 8 eyes; neovascular glaucoma, 2 eyes; previous failed filter, 6 eyes; total collapse of the anterior chamber with leucoma adherence, 1 eye; glaucoma due to mesodermal dysgenesis, 1 eye; and juvenile glaucoma, 1 eye (whose fellow eye had received twice failed filtering procedures). The results revealed a success rate of 79% (intraocular pressure below 22mmHg with or without topical medication). The success rate for aphakic glaucoma was 63% (5/8), for neovascular glaucoma 100% (2/2) and for the failed filters 83% (5/6). We also presume that 5-FU injections would be effective in the treatment of to abnormally marked fibrous proliferations caused by age factors. The complications related to the use of 5-FU include corneal epithelial defect 4/9 (21%), conjunctival leak 3/9 (16%), subconjunctival hematoma 1/19 (5%), and conjunctival sterile ulcer 1/19 (5%).","PeriodicalId":22189,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan yi xue hui za zhi.

We report one such case, a 71-year-old man with DeBakey type I aortic dissection and bleeding tendency. This patient had aortic dissection 4 years previous, and had developed a bleeding tendency in the last 2 years. Both computed tomographic scan and digital subtraction angiographic studies revealed DeBakey type I aortic dissection starting at the ascending aorta and extending all the way down to the renal artery, with an inlet at the aortic arch. The area of false lumen was larger than that of the true lumen, and thrombi were noted within the false lumen. A detailed blood coagulation study of this patient showed thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy. Blood coagulation studies in an additional 13 patients, who were seen at NTUH during the past 1 year with aortic dissection, but without the bleeding tendency, revealed no sign of coagulopathy. From analysis of these patients, we note that a large surface area in a false lumen, thrombus formation within a false lumen and blood flow into a false lumen with stasis seem to be the major determinants for causing coagulopathy in patients with aortic dissection. The treatment of aortic dissection with bleeding tendency caused by local consumption coagulopathy is graft replacement of the aneurysm. Hemostatic abnormalities may cause excessive blood loss during surgical operation, and careful and meticulous management of hemostasis are required.","PeriodicalId":22189,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan yi xue hui za zhi.
