Diabetes Intervention Study. Multi-intervention trial in newly diagnosed NIDDM.

Objective: In a randomized 5-yr multi-intervention trial, we tested the efficacy of intensified health education (IHE) in improving metabolic control and reducing the level of coronary risk factors and incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD).

Research Design And Methods: Within the intervention group, the benefit of clofibric acid was evaluated in a double-blind study. One thousand one hundred thirty-nine newly diagnosed middle-aged (30- to 55-yr-old) patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) entered the study.

[Quantity and trace elements in callus in secondary fracture healing; animal experiment study].

The quantitative analysis of quantity elements and trace elements in the callus tissue of tibial fractures was carried out in 120 adult rabbits during the secondary bone fracture healing. The processing of the callus and the analysis methods of the inorganic elements were demonstrated. The trace elements copper and zinc are available much more compared with the quantity elements in the callus tissue during the acidotic early phase of the fracture healing.
