Methods: An observational and cross-sectional study was carried out on children from urban and suburban areas. Their weight, height, waist circumference, body fat percentage, and blood pressure were measured, and their lipid profile, glucose, and insulin concentrations were evaluated. Results: Eighty-two children with an average age of five were included in the study; 48 from the conurbation and 34 from the urban area. We found that malnutrition, overweight, and high body fat percentage (27 ± 0.52) coexist. In the suburban area, there was a higher percentage of children with pre-hypertension and alterations in lipids: elevated triglycerides (35%) and low HDL-c (25%) (p < 0.01). In the urban area, there was a higher percentage of children with altered glucose (12%), elevated insulin concentrations, and insulin resistance. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that cardiovascular risk factors and type 2 diabetes are prevalent in children aged three to six living in urban and conurbation areas of Hermosillo, Sonora.","PeriodicalId":80890,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular reviews & reports","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84098605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Analysis of the Clinical Effects of Clopidogrel in the Treatment of Unstable Angina and the Influence of Triacylglycerol and Total Cholesterol Levels","authors":"Yuzhen Ning, Han Yang, Lian Shuang","doi":"10.26689/cr.v1i1.5037","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26689/cr.v1i1.5037","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: To explore the clinical value of clopidogrel as the main treatment for patients with unstable angina. Methods: From January 2020 to December 2022, we assigned 50 cases to the control group (basic treatment) and 50 cases to the observation group (basic treatment with clopidogrel). The clinical data of both groups of patients were analyzed. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group after treatment (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in the duration of angina pectoris and frequency of attacks between the two groups (P > 0.05); after treatment, the duration of angina pectoris and frequency of attacks in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in hemorheological indices, triacylglycerol (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and platelet aggregation rate between the two groups (P > 0.05); however, after treatment, they were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the scores of SF-36 between the two groups (P > 0.05); after treatment, the SF-36 score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Clopidogrel can promote the rehabilitation of patients with unstable angina during treatment. Compared with conventional basic treatment, it can reinforce the final therapeutic effect. In addition, our study showed that the duration of angina pectoris and the frequency of attacks were shortened after clopidogrel therapy and the treatment had an effect on improving patients’ hemorheological indices, TG, TC, and platelet aggregation rate. Clopidogrel therapy plays an important role in ensuring the quality of life of patients after recovery.","PeriodicalId":80890,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular reviews & reports","volume":"616 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74451011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Clinical Effects of Insulin Glargine and Acarbose Tablets in the Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus in the Elderly and Analysis of Glycosylated Hemoglobin","authors":"Hua-Yi Lu","doi":"10.26689/cr.v1i1.5028","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26689/cr.v1i1.5028","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: To analyze the clinical effects of insulin glargine and acarbose tablets in the treatment of diabetes mellitus in the elderly and the analysis of glycosylated hemoglobin. Methods: Patients (80 cases) from Taizhou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (January 2021–December 2022) were randomly divided into two groups (40 cases/group). Patients in the control group were treated with acarbose tablets, whereas those in the observation group were treated with insulin glargine and acarbose tablets. The clinical effects were compared. Results: The difference in blood glucose level and quality of life score between the two groups before treatment was insignificant (P > 0.05). The total effective rate (97.5%) of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (85.0%); the blood sugar indices of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group; and the observation group scored higher in the quality-of-life scale than the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Diabetes in elderly is characterized by repeated attacks. The elderly often suffers from chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and respiratory system disease, making it is challenging to achieve the desired effect in treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to explore new treatment methods for the management of diabetes in the elderly. Insulin glargine is a new type of insulin analog, which can last for 24 hours, effectively controlling patients’ blood sugar level. According to research, insulin glargine can effectively regulate the blood sugar level of diabetic patients for an extended period of time, significantly lower the fasting blood sugar, and reduce the complications caused by hypoglycemia. Acarbose tablet, on the other hand, is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, which prevents the breakdown of starch into sugar, thereby reducing postprandial blood sugar levels. For diabetic patients, especially those whose staple food is starch, acarbose is a suitable drug.","PeriodicalId":80890,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular reviews & reports","volume":"152 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79611118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
