Objective To investigate the relationship between microalbuminuria (MAU) and insulin resistance syndrome. Methods A total of 240 patients(130 of them with hypertension) were stratified by oral glucose tolerance status 〔normal glucose tolerance(NGT), impaired glucose tolerance(IGT), and type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM)〕. Morning urine albumin concentration and anthropometric indices, serum lipid, fasting plasma true insulin concentrations were also measured. Results The prevalence of MAU ( defined as morning urine albumin concentration between 20 and 40 mg/L) was increased as the glucose tolerance worsed (8.8%in NGT, 13.7% in IGT, 28.6% in DM, ? 2 =9.313, P

Undergraduate education started late in rehabilitation medicine in mainland China.At present,there are some shortcomings in current undergraduate education for rehabilitation medicine in mainland China,mainly due to the shortage of teachers,the poor pertinence of professional subjects,the broad and superficial knowledge,and the lack of close connection with the necessary professional knowledge of rehabilitation technologies.The Department of Rehabilitation in Taiwan starts its undergraduate education earlier.The curriculum has been sub-professionally oriented.Its subjects are highly targeted and detailed in content.At the same time,it emphasizes forward-looking education such as "statistics".In view of this,the mainland colleges and universities should standardize the undergraduate education of rehabilitation therapies,strengthen the training of professional teachers,pay attention to the cross-mutualism of theory and practice in the teaching plan,enrich the number of professional courses,the appropriate introduction of teaching methods of scientific research,standardize the teaching management system.
