家园 青方兄的2篇关于糖尿病的文章

1 地震糖尿病存在吗?

看到西西河里面争论一篇关于地震灾区的文章,里面提到了指挥防疫的来自日本的施海潮教授,其精神可嘉,很值得敬佩。在一篇来自四川侨务网上的报道,提到了施教授关于糖尿病的一段文字,则不敢苟同,问自己一个问题,地震糖尿病存在吗?

“根据日本阪神大地震经验,大震后容易患“地震糖尿病”。施教授指出,从病理学角度分析,受灾人员由于超负荷心理负担和刺激令胰岛细胞分泌了超出β细胞处理能力的高血糖素,极易引起糖尿病。“地震糖尿病”如及时治疗1—2个月就可以治愈,否则终身难愈。施教授根据汶川大地震的特殊情况,制订了震后糖尿病处理方案,正与省红十字会和四川疾控中心协商,颁布实施,他还表示拟通过四川省侨办向灾区捐赠他有发明专利的,价值18万美元的专门治疗地震糖尿病的抗糖茶片2000瓶,此批药品足够治疗300例患者。目前他已紧急返回上海办理相关的捐赠和治疗震后糖尿病方面的事宜。临行前,他感慨地说“我能用自己所学为灾区人民尽份心力,发挥作用,不虚此行”。”

再Google施教授,他开发了抗糖尿病食品,就是他准备捐赠的“抗糖茶片”,具体如下面描述的。

“研制生产抗糖尿病和促使血糖值正常化的产品。如抗糖尿病:食品,保健品,医药品和使细胞形态机能正常化的:如抗癌症食品,保健品,医药品。以及,抗禽流感,抗疯牛病的饲料,饲料添加剂,动物用医药品。1976年,我们发现一种新植物能治愈糖尿病,并共同命名为:抗糖薯(antidiabetic Leguminosae)。”

以前我写过很多关于糖尿病的文字,从目前世界的医疗水平看,还没有办法治愈糖尿病,很多药厂,无数的科学家都在努力寻找治疗糖尿病的方法,但对糖尿病知道的还是不多,根本谈不上治愈糖尿病,很多保健食品都吹嘘可以治愈糖尿病,这是一种推销产品的技巧,没有让人信服的科学数据的支持。

前些天,我也写了地震对糖尿病的影响,但据我有限的知识,“地震糖尿病”这个概念是不存在的。所谓地震等灾害引发人体的一种应激反应,以肾上腺素为代表的应激激素分泌升高,这是人体为应付自然灾害的挑战做的准备,这些应激激素都是提高血糖的,如果人体不能分泌足够的胰岛素把升高的血糖转移到细胞内,那么血糖就升高了,这就是应激引发的血糖变化,健康人是不会有这个问题的,也不存在地震糖尿病这个概念。

从这点上看,在接受捐赠的时候,尤其是药品或保健食品的捐赠,这些药品和保健食品不能,绝对不能跨越卫生部药物审批这个门槛,不能让灾区人民成为未经审批药物的实验对象。

敬佩施海潮教授抗震防疫的精神,但反对这种跳过卫生部食品与药品监督管理局直接捐赠药品或保健食品的做法!

2 再议“地震糖尿病”

Posted by 青方 on 六月 3rd, 2008 in 糖尿病问题

西西河里面对地震糖尿病争论的很厉害,其中一位北辰网友引用台湾的一项研究,摘要可在文后找到,这个似乎是一个地震能够导致糖尿病的证据。

仔细阅读了摘要,很遗憾无法看到全文,或者是整个资料,所以很多话是推测。这项研究的方法是观察震前和震后到医院门诊看慢性病的就诊人数,地震后就诊人数增加了,新诊断糖尿病和高血压的人数也增加了,所以作者得出的结论说地震增加了糖尿病的患病人数。

其实作者是很难下这样的结论的,因为高血压和糖尿病的患病率很高,台湾的糖尿病患病率大约在7%左右(印象中的数据),每次只要在从来没有查过血糖的人群中检查血糖,都能发现很多新糖尿病人,就是说糖尿病存在着大量的未被诊断的人群,所以新发现的糖尿病人数很大的可能是源自到门诊看病人数的增加上,就是说如果作者做一些统计学计算,把就诊人次增加这个因素排除出去,看是否还能得出这个结论。

地震后因为伤亡的情况,对人心理的冲击很大,从就诊人数增加这个数据看,人们更加关注自己的健康,对人生观也能产生很多影响,记得上大学的时候,能明显感觉到很多来自唐山经历过地震同学的不同,这个不同很难说的清楚。而糖尿病,只要人们开始关注,到门诊看病检查增多,发现新病例就增多了,这个不能说是地震引发的。

所以,个人观点,地震糖尿病这个概念,在没有得到令人信服的数据前,是不存在的。

THE EFFECTS OF THE 921 TAIWAN EARTHQUAKE ON MOBILITY AMONG PUBLIC EMPLOYEES IN THE DISASTER AREA: ISEE-268.

Abstract:http://www.cchere.net/article/1636243.html

Introduction: On September 21, 1999, a powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.3 on the Richter scale struck central Taiwan and caused a total of 2,347 deaths. From the scale and the degree of damage, it is believed to be the worst earthquake in 20th century Taiwan. Past studies related to earthquakes discussed the immediate effects on the mortality and causes of deaths, but rare studies emphasized the prolong effects on the mobility. One cohort study presented the increasing numbers of incident cases of hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes within the first 6 months, however, without the pre-earthquake clinical diagnosis or medical records, the relationship between the new cases of chronic diseases occurrence and the earthquake inducement was unknown. With the completely National Health Insurance (NHI) system in Taiwan, the purpose of this study was to describe the prevalent pattern of chronic diseases and to clarify the different mobility between the pre-earthquake and the post-earthquake in the 921 Taiwan Earthquake.

Methods: We carried out two sets of questionnaire survey to collect individual information related to damage of this earthquake and personal life style between 2002 and 2003. 3,637 persons comprised public employees and their family members were voluntary to supply personal identity numbers to link the NHI system for individual outpatient enrollment analysis. The data from March 21, 1999, through March 20, 2001 were obtained from the Bureau of NHI. According to the occurrence of the 921 Taiwan Earthquake, the outpatient data of this population was divided to pre-earthquake and post-earthquake time-periods with every 6 months. The trends of outpatient frequency and outpatient number of all diseases and specific chronic diseases were determined and the incident cases were observed during the two years.

Results: We observed that the total outpatient frequencies of all diseases in this population increased from 20,411 times in the half-year pre-earthquake to 23,103 times in the one-year post-earthquake and slightly decrease to 21,401 times in the 1.5-year post-earthquake. Male had higher outpatient frequencies than female and both gender had the same trend as the total of all diseases. In the outpatient numbers of all diseases, however, total outpatient numbers continued to increase from 2,677 persons in the pre-earthquake to 2,773 persons in the post-earthquake. The most age group to use healthcare service was 40-49 years old. Our findings presented rising trends in the prevalent rates of diabetes mellitus (ICD-9: 250) and hypertensive disease (ICD-9: 401-405) after this earthquake, but the prevalent rate of ischaemic heart disease (ICD-9: 410-414) reduced at the first 6 months and then increased in the post-earthquake. We also observed the numbers of incident cases on bronchitis, emphysema and asthma (ICD-9: 490-493) were more than other chronic diseases after this earthquake.

Conclusions: We concluded the prevalent patterns of chronic diseases on public employees and their family members were affected by the 921 Taiwan Earthquake, and the long-term effects of this earthquake on respiratory system would be more study in the future.
