　View Summary

The usefulness of pulse wave velocity (baPWV) as an indicator of early-stage atherosclerosis in impaired fasting glucose was studied in 232 subjects randomly selected from a rural community in Japan. Body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting blood sugar (FBS), lipid parameters, ankle brachial pressure index (API), and baPWV were measured in each subject. API and baPWV were measured by ABI-form(BP-203 RPE Nihon Colin). Subjects were divided into 3 groups based on FBS : a healthy group of subjects with FBS< 110 mg/dl, an impaired fasting glucose (IFG) group of subjects with FBS of 110-125 mg/dl, and a diabetes mellitus(DM) group of subjects with FBS ≧ 126 mg/dl and subjects taking hypoglycemic agents. Parameters were compared among groups. We found that the higher the plasma glucose, the higher the baPWV. Significant differences were found between baPWV in the healthy and IFG groups (1518 cm/s vs. 1673 cm/s p = 0.01) and in the healthy and DM groups (1518 cm/s vs. 1771 cm/s p < 0.0001). Multiple regression analysis showed that FBS was closely related to baPWV, age, and SBP, suggesting that IFG be strictly controlled to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. © 2002, THE JAPAN DIABETES SOCIETY.

　View Summary

We investigated the relationship between insulin resistance and remnant-like particle cholesterol (RLP-C) using 472 subjects (174 men and 298 women) randomly selected from inhabitants of two rural communities in Japan, Tanno and Sobetsu. Fasting immunoreactive insulin (FIRI), fasting blood glucose (FBS), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and RLP-C were measured in each subject. HOMA-R was used as an indicator of insulin resistance. The subjects were divided into two groups according to the value of HOMA-R : an insulin-resistance (IR) group consisting of subjects with HOMA-R≥ 1.73 and a normal (NR) group consisting of subjects with HOMA-R < 1.73. There was a significant positive correlation between HOMA-R and RLP-C. The value of RLP-C was higher in the IR group than in the NR group (5.9 mg/dl vs. 3.6 mg/dl). The frequency of hyper RLP cholesterolemia (RLP-C ≥7.5mg/dl) was higher in the IR group than in the NR group (21.7% vs. 4.8%). The results of multiple regressionanalysis showed that HOMA-R was closely related to RLP-C. The results of this study suggest that RLP-C is closely associated with atherosclerosis in insulin-resistance syndrome.

　View Summary

A survey was conducted to determine the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during the period from January 1999 to December 2000 in Obihiro City, Hokkaido, Japan.<BR>A total of 137 new cases of AMI were registered over the 2-year period. The incidences of AMI were determined to be 51.5 cases per 100, 000 men per year and 13.7 cases per 100, 000 women per year. It was found that incidence of AMI has increased in men over 70 years of age compared to the incidence determined in a survey conducted for the period from Octber 1990 to September 1992.<BR>Considering the aging population structure in Japan, the results of the survey indicate the need for measures to reduce the incidence of AMI in elderly men.

　View Summary

Congestive heart failure (CHF) related to Sjogren's syndrome is extremely rare. This report concerns a patient who presented with CHF and severe thrombocytopenia (5,000/μl). Serum concentrations of K, Mg and digitoxin were 3.2 mmol/L, 1.4 mg/L and 57.2 ng/ml, respectively. Digitoxin intoxication was evident, seemingly evoked by hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia hepatorenal dysfunction and hypothyroidism. The severe thrombocytopenia was considered to have been caused by this intoxication, as it disappeared soon after the digitoxin was discontinued and potassium was supplemented.

　View Summary

Background There have been very few studies on life prognosis of cardiovascular disease according to blood pressure stratification in the Japanese, Therefore, in Japan, although treatment of hypertension is possible, albeit at times difficult, due to the availability of various antihypertensive medications, the appropriate time at which treatment should be started remains a problem. Objective To investigate the long-term prognosis of cardiovascular disease in the Japanese general population according to blood pressure stratification in the Japanese. Design A community-based prospective cohort study of 1996 men and women between the ages of 40 and 64 years at the baseline examination was conducted over an 18-year period. Information on death was obtained from local public health nurses and death certificates, The causes of death were clarified by questionnaires sent to doctors in the hospital in which the deceased was hospitalized, and the causes of death were analysed in each blood pressure category at baseline examination. Results Mortality from cardiovascular disease increased with increases in the level of blood pressure and was significantly higher in greater than or equal to 140 mmHg group in systolic blood pressure and greater than or equal to 90 mmHg group in diastolic blood pressure, adjusted for age, sex and other cardiovascular risk factors in the Japanese general population. However, mortality risk from cardiovascular disease did not have a J-shaped relationship with systolic and diastolic blood pressure, Conclusion We conclude that the optimum time for starting treatment in Japanese people is when blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or less.
