Objective: Assess the rates of awareness, treatment and control of diabetes mellitus and the influence factors in rural areas of Jilin province., Methods: Multistage stratified random cluster sampling design was used to select participants that carried out with questionnaire interview and physical examination. The analysis was based on a representative sample of 923 diabetes mellitus. Multiple logistic regressions were used to examine socio-demographic factors associated with the levels of awareness, treatment and control of diabetes., Results: Diabetes awareness, treatment, control and control among treated were 68. 9% ,57. 7% ,23. 9% and 41. 5% , respectively in rural area of Jilin province. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the main effect factors on the rates of awareness were gender, family history of diabetes, smoke, drink and exercise. The rates of treatment were associated with age, occupation, family history of diabetes, drink and exercise, and the rates of control were associated gender., Conclusions: The rates of awareness, treatment and control of diabetes mellitus were expected to be improved in rural areas of Jilin province. The effective preventive strategies which concentrate on the influence factors should be taken to control their blood glucose level.

Objective: To investigate the pattern of dyslipidemia in patients with diabetes mellitus in Jilin province communities, and to provide a theoretical basis for the management of dyslipidemia among patients with diabetes., Method: Based on the prevalence and risk factors of chronic diseases survey among adults in Jilin Province 2012 used multistage stratified random sampling design, a total of 1825 community residents aged 18 -79 years-old with diabetes mellitus in 9 districts of Jilin Province undergo the survey with questionnaire(age, gender, history of chronic disease in the past one year), blood index detection (blood glucose, total cholesterol high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides), and anthropometric (height and weight)., Result: Among 1825 patients with diabetes, 883 males (48.4%), 942 females (51. 6%); the mean age was (55.73 + 10. 27) years old. The mean values of TG,TC,LDL-C and HDL-C were 2. 17,5.17,3.10 and 1.20 mmol/L,the mean values of TC,LDL-C and HDL-C of female were higher than male(P <0. 001). The prevalence of dyslipidenmia. was 66.9% (69.0% in, male and 65.0% in female). The prevalence of dyslipidemia in male was decreased with increasing age(P <0. 001) , the prevalence of dyslipidemia in female was increased with age (P <0. 001). In age groups of 18- , 35 - and 45 - years, the prevalence of dyslipidemia in male was higher than female (P <0. 05,P <0. 001 ,P <0. 001)', however, it was lower than female in 55 - and 65 - 79 years old grouips (P < 0.: 05). The prevalence of dyslipidemia of overweight '(71. 8%) and obesity (75. 8%) was higher than normal subjects. Among patients with diabetes, 19. 2% had high total cholesterol, 47. 8% had high triglyceride, 14. 5% had high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, 29. 2% had low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The proportion of diabetic patients two serum lipid values outside of clinical target were 27. 1% , the most prevalent dyslipidemia pattern among diabetic patients was a combination of TG above goal with HDL-C below target, which was observed in 17. 4 % of the patients. The second most common pattern of dyslipidemia was isolated TG increase, which was observed in 15, 9% of the patients., Conclusion: The mean values of TG,TC, LDL-C and HDL-C among community residents with diabetes mellitus in Jilin province were higher than the general population. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in male aged 18 -54 years, female aged 55 years and above and overweight or obesity was high; the most prevalent dyslipidemia pattern among diabetic patients was a combination of TG above goal with HDL&#95;C below target.

There are sex differences in some brain areas in mammalians. Parkinson's disease (PD), caused by the mesencephalic substantia nigra (SN) dopaminergic neuronal loss, displays sexual difference, i.e., the incidence is higher and the symptoms are more intense in males than that in females. However, it has not been known whether sexual dimorphisms exist in the SN. Sixty adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: (1) Female intact group (F-INT group); (2) Male intact group (M-INT group); (3) Ovariectomized group (OVX group); (4) Castration group (CAST group); (5) Ovariectomized + estrogen-replaced group (OVX-E(2) group): The rats received sequentially physiological dose of estrogen for 3 d from the 7th day after ovariectomization. P50 auditory evoked potential (P50) was recorded for 14 d from electrodes inserted in the rat right SN in quiet and awake state. After recording, the brain tissues were dissected and the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-expressing neurons in the compact zone of the SN were counted using immunohistochemical method. The results showed that the number of TH-positive (TH(+)) cells in the SN of normal male animals was less than that in normal female rats (P<0.05), and the T/C ratio of P50 in normal males was significantly less than that in normal females (P<0.01), indicating that there exists sexual difference in function and structure in the SN. No differences in the T/C ratio of P50 or the number of TH(+) cells were found between M-INT and CAST groups. The T/C ratio of P50 and the number of TH(+) cells in the SN in OVX group were reduced significantly compared with those in F-INT group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the T/C ratio of P50 and the number of TH(+) cells in the SN between OVX- E(2) and F-INT groups 15-20 d after estrogen replacement, suggesting that estrogen can promote the survival and functional recovery of dopaminergic neurons in the SN. The results suggest that there exist sex-specific differences in the dopaminergic neurons in the SN structurally and functionally. The difference of estrogen level in cerebra between male and female animals may account for the sexual differences. Endogenous estrogen plays an important role in maintaining the integrity and modulating the functional activity of dopamine system in the SN.
