Correlation of Uric Acid and Urinary Albumin Excretion Rate in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Taiwan
No full textThe in vitro susceptibility to 9 β-lactam antibiotics of 65 clinical strains ofStreptococcus pneumoniae collected from a teaching hospital in Taiwan during the period from 1989 to 1994 were studied. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined by the agar dilution method with 5% horse blood. Intermediate resistance to penicillin G was found in 24.6% of the strains (MIC, 0.125 to 1 μg/mL) and 7.7% of the strains were fully-resistant to penicillin G (MIC, ± 0.4 (4.3–5.4), 6.0 ± 0.3 (5 .5–6.5), and 8.1 ± 1.2 (6.6–12.2), respectively. Prevalence of abnormal albuminuria (microalbuminuria plus macroalbuminuria ) for the respective quartiles were 38.4%, 51.2%, 50.6%, and 66.3% ( P trend <0.01). In men, uric acid correlated positively with triglycerides and natural logarithmic [ln ( ACR)] (γ= 0.168, P < 0.05). In women, uric acid correlated positively with triglycerides, ln (ACR) (γ= 0.277, P < 0.01 ) and body mass index (borderline significant P < 0.1), but negatively with calculated creatinine clearance. The standardized regression coefficient for ln (ACR) and the odds ratio for abnormal albuminuria for every 1 mg/dL increment of uric acid after adjusting for calculated creatinine clearance and other confounders were 0.138 ( P < 0.05) and 1.183...

No full textThe Ethnicity of Hakka Is Associated with a Higher Risk of Hypertension Than Fukienese in Taiwanese Type 2 Diabetic Patients
No full textThis study investigated whether the ethnicity of Hakka with type 2 diabetes mellitus could have a higher risk of hypertension than their Fukienese counterparts in Taiwan. The data of 78 396 (70 122 Fukienese and 8274 Hakka) adult patients obtained from telephone interview were analysed. Results showed that the Hakka had a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension (56.8 vs 52.9%, P<0.001) with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.19 (1.11-1.27)
