Effect of Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring Plus Additional Support on Blood Pressure Control: A Randomized Clinical Trial / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

OBJECTIVE@#Current clinical evidence on the effects of home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPT) on improving blood pressure control comes entirely from developed countries. Thus, we performed this randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether HBPT plus support (patient education and clinician remote hypertension management) improves blood pressure control more than usual care (UC) in the Chinese population.@*METHODS@#This single-center, randomized controlled study was conducted in Beijing, China. Patients aged 30-75 years were eligible for enrolment if they had blood pressure [systolic (SBP) ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic (DBP) ≥ 90 mmHg; or SBP ≥ 130 mmHg and/or DBP ≥ 80 mmHg with diabetes]. We recruited 190 patients randomized to either the HBPT or the UC groups for 12 weeks. The primary endpoints were blood pressure reduction and the proportion of patients achieving the target blood pressure.@*RESULTS@#Totally, 172 patients completed the study, the HBPT plus support group ( n = 84), and the UC group ( n = 88). Patients in the plus support group showed a greater reduction in mean ambulatory blood pressure than those in the UC group. The plus support group had a significantly higher proportion of patients who achieved the target blood pressure and maintained a dipper blood pressure pattern at the 12th week of follow-up. Additionally, the patients in the plus support group showed lower blood pressure variability and higher drug adherence than those in the UC group.@*CONCLUSION@#HBPT plus additional support results in greater blood pressure reduction, better blood pressure control, a higher proportion of dipper blood pressure patterns, lower blood pressure variability, and higher drug adherence than UC. The development of telemedicine may be the cornerstone of hypertension management in primary care.

Objective To explore the prevalence of intolerance to eggs and its relationship with body mass index in Beijing,China.Methods A cross sectional survey which included 12 766 adults from health sciences center of general hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from August,2008 to July,2009 was carried out.Data was entered computer and organized by EpiData 3.0 software for epidemiological analysis.Nonconditional logistic regression model was used for odd ratio (OR) and 95％CIcalculation,and statistics analysis was carried out by SPSS 13.0 software.Results Positive rate of intolerance to eggs in the cohort was 28.5％.Grades of intolerance to eggs were associated with sex(P＜0.05 ).Positive rate of intolerance to eggs in females(36.5％ ) was higher than those in males (24.9％).Data from multiple regression analysis showed that intolerance to eggs was associated with sex and body mass index.Compared with males,the OR(95％CI) of female was 1.732 (1.590-1.887).Compared with normal weights,the OR (95％ CI) of low weights was 1.443 ( 1.018-2.045 ).Conclusion Sex and body mass index might be associated with intolerance to eggs.

Tissue culture and polyploidy induction of Morinda officinalis / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish an effective protocol for plant generation and induce polyploidy of Morinda offcinalis.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Callus was induced from immature embryo of M. officinalis and polyploidy was inducted by using colchicine treatment method. Chromosome was detected by flow cytometry.</p><p><b>RESULT AND CONCLUSION</b>The highest induction rate of polyploidy was 18.40%, which was obtained with 500 mg x L(-1) colchicine treatment for 5 days. Roots of polyploid were bigger than diploid. Advantages of using immature embryo as explants are easy for sterilization, higher rate of callus induction and low degree dedifferentiation. The induced polyploidy of M. officinalis may have a value for spread of cultivation.</p>
