“…In contrast, two other studies reported somewhat better sensitivity in men (23,28). Better sensitivity was reported in studies with smaller (n ϭ Ͻ550) sample sizes (4,14,16,19,20,24,27,28,31) and limited to patients with diabetes (4,14,16,19,31).…”

Studies outside the U.S. tended to report higher sensitivity (51-70%), but differences in diabetes diagnostic criteria and procedures for completion of death certificates make comparisons difficult (13,14,16,28,31,33,34).…”

“…As shown, sensitivity for reporting diabetes in 1992-2003 for CVD-related deaths was significantly better than the sensitivity for all other causes of death (48.9 vs. 26.8%, P Ͻ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS -Previous mortality studies indicated that diabetes is under-reported as a direct cause of death and often is not mentioned anywhere on death certificates (4,5,19,21,22,(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)). The present study shows that, among those with known diabetes, overall sensitivity was low (34.7%), but specificity of diabetes reporting was good (98.1%).…”

Sensitivity and Specificity of Death Certificates for Diabetes

OBJECTIVE -Diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death in U.S adults, which may be an underestimate because of under-reporting on death certificates. In this study we examined death certificate sensitivity and specificity for diabetes, as well as the factors related to better reporting, in a community-based sample.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -Death certificates were obtained for 3,209 decedents who were enrolled in the Rancho Bernardo cohort in 1972-1974 and followed through 2003. Diabetes status was reassessed at periodic clinic visits and annual mailed surveys during an average follow-up of 15.2 Ϯ 7.6 years. Diabetes reported anywhere on death certificates was abstracted. Sensitivity and specificity calculations among diabetic participants were stratified by age, sex, year, place, cause of death, and diabetes medication use.RESULTS -Among 1,641 men and 1,568 women, 378 decedents had a history of diabetes, 168 of whom had diabetes listed anywhere on their death certificates. The sensitivity and specificity were 34.7 and 98.1%. Diabetes reporting on death certificates did not improve over time or vary significantly by age and sex, but sensitivity for diabetes reporting was better for recent (1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003) cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths compared with any other causes of death (48.9 vs. 28.6%, respectively, P Ͻ 0.05).CONCLUSIONS -Although diabetes reporting on death certificates did not improve over time, sensitivity was better for diabetes in the context of CVD deaths, probably reflecting the increasing recognition that diabetes is a major cardiovascular risk factor.

“…Further approved that ginseng, membranous milkvetch root, and mongolian snakegourd root not only promote beta-cell to be repaired, but also increase body insulin. Astragalus polysaccharides have an effect to two-dimensionally regulate the level of blood glucose, which can increase the blood glucose of hypoglycemic animals or humans to normal level, and significantly lower the level of blood glucose, triglyceride and myocardial calcium, improve the abnormalities of myocardial ultrastructure and the metabolism of diabetic rats and mice [23], and inhibit the onset of type 1 diabetes in nonobese diabetic mice [7]. Astragalus membranaceus (Huángqí) was reported to have an effect for diabetic complications, such as protecting the myocardium in diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting lipid peroxidation, prolonging the incubation period of late diabetic neuropathy by decreasing the motion nerve conduction velocity as an aldose reductase inhibitor, and exerting a beneficial effect on experimental diabetic nephropathy by suppressing the renal hypertrophy and microalbuminuria [24].…”

Chinese medicinal materials that originate from animal, mineral and plant have thousands years for diabetes therapy and accumulate a great deal of valuable clinical experience. The rapidly increasing diabetes mellitus is becoming a serious threat to mankind health in all parts of the world. Currently, bioinformatics has already impenetrate biology, medicine, genomics, clinical pharmacology, botany, and other subjects. This paper mainly expatiates the actual application of information technology to traditional Chinese medicinal materials, especially build a database of diabetes mellitus proved recipe (DMPR) by Microsoft Access 2000; analyze and find complexity information of DMPR viz matrix alignment. Our research results reveal that there is not linearity relationship between P value and clinical activities of DMPR that show diversity and complexity; and t-test results show that P1 value of simple score matrix and P2 value of complex score matrix present significantly difference and the latter is more rational than the former because the secondary score matrix plays a complementary role to the first score matrix so that enhance the reliability and the veracity of prediction. Therefore, bioinformatics at many scales and many levels should be spread for Chinese traditional medicine proved recipe possessing complexity, diversity, and non-linearity. This will greatly change the research actuality of Chinese traditional medicine, improve the research level of Chinese traditional medicine informatics, and accelerate the research step of modernization of Chinese traditional medicine.
