    Notes: Summary To elucidate the risk factors for initiating glucose intolerance, the relevant factors were explored in a cross-sectional survey conducted in a sample population aged 40–79 years old selected from a Japanese community, Hisayama, Japan in 1988. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was used to classify 1,073 men (72.5 % of the entire population in the same age range) and 1,407 women (80.5 %) into normal, impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus groups. In all age and sex groups with normal glucose tolerance, the sum of fasting and 2-h post-load insulin values varied widely and demonstrated significant positive correlations with triglycerides, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, while it negatively correlated to HDL cholesterol (p 〈 0.05). Insulin resistance was presumed to develop in normal glucose tolerance subjects with hyperinsulinaemia. The sum of the insulin concentrations, triglycerides, body mass index, waist-hip ratio and blood pressure levels was significantly associated with impaired glucose tolerance in all age and sex groups after adjustment for age (p 〈 0.05) and was also related to diabetes in either all or some age and sex groups, respectively (p 〈 0.05). It was shown that glucose intolerance in the general population was associated with the factors related to insulin resistance. These cross-sectional data, therefore, support the hypothesis that insulin resistance is the primary defect in the development of glucose intolerance in the Japanese general population. However, a further prospective study is still needed in order to confirm this hypothesis. [Diabetologia (1994) 37: 897–904]

    Notes: Summary We determined the population-based prevalence of diabetes mellitus in members of the Japanese community, Hisayama aged 40–79 years old by a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. The basic population used to calculate diabetic prevalence was 1,077 men (72.8% of the whole population in the same age range) and 1,413 women (80.8%) including ten diabetic patients on insulin therapy. In addition, we compared the prevalence of history of diabetes which was acquired by interview or questionnaire, between participants and non-participants in the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, but they were not statistically different. The age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes to world population was 12.7% for men and 8.4% for women, and that of impaired glucose tolerance was 19.6% for men and 18.4% for women. These figures were much higher than those previously reported from several Japanese communities. The results obtained from the present study could reveal true prevalence of diabetes among the Japanese population. In addition, the reasons for the increasing prevalence of diabetes among the recent Japanese population are also discussed.

    Notes: This study compares the characteristics of substrate degradation and bacterial activities in the thermophilic process with those under mesophilic conditions. The solids retention time ranged from 2.5 to 40 days, and raw sludge (containing about 6% dry solids) was continuously fed to each process.

    Notes: Background:  Recent studies have reported a relationship between obesity and periodontal disease. Obesity is the strongest risk factor for type 2 diabetes, which is, in turn, a risk factor for periodontal disease. An oral glucose tolerance test is necessary to diagnose diabetes; however, no study has examined the relationship between obesity and periodontal disease by taking oral glucose tolerance test results into consideration.Methods:  In all, 584 Japanese women aged between 40 and 79 years old, with at least 10 teeth, underwent health examinations. Body mass index, waist–hip ratio, body fat, and oral glucose tolerance test results were used as independent variables with known risk factors for periodontal disease. Mean probing pocket depth and mean attachment loss were used as the dependent variables.Results:  In all of the analyses, body mass index, body fat, and waist–hip ratio were significantly associated with the highest quintile of mean probing pocket depth, even when adjusted for oral glucose tolerance test results. In the multivariate analysis, the subjects with the highest quartile of body mass index had a significantly higher odds ratio (OR) for the highest quintile of mean probing pocket depth [OR, 4.3; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.1–8.9; p 〈 0.001], whereas neither impaired glucose tolerance nor diabetes were significantly associated with deep pockets. The relationships between the obesity indexes and mean attachment loss did not reach statistical significance.Conclusion:  Obesity was associated with deep pockets in Japanese women, even after adjusting for oral glucose tolerance test.

    Notes: Ligand coupling of (E)- and (Z)-styryl 2-pyridyl sulfoxides with methylmagnesium bromide gave (E)-and (Z)-2-styrylpyridine, respectively in a stereospecific manner. A number of (E)-2-styrylpyridine derivatives were prepared by the coupling reaction. Methyl styryl sulfoxide and 2,2′-bipyridyl were obtained as by-products. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed based on quantitative analysis of the products.
