RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the effects of different blood pressure variables and their variabilities on diabetic nephropathy(DN)in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:This prospective cohort study included 3 050 type 2 diabetic patients without DN at baseline from Lee′s clinic in Taiwan, China. The metabolic parameters of patients were regularly checked, and urine albumin creatinine ratio(UACR)were evaluated annually. The average follow-up period was 7 years(3-10 years). The means and standard deviations(SD)of systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), pulse pressure(PP), and mean arterial pressure(MAP)were calculated. According to whether SBP-Mean was higher or lower than 130 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and SBP-SD was higher or lower than 11.06 mmHg(average SBP-SD), these patients were divided into four groups: Q1(SBP-Mean<130 mmHg, SBP-SD<11.06 mmHg); Q2(SBP-Mean<130 mmHg, SBP-SD≥11.06 mmHg); Q3(SBP-Mean≥130 mmHg, SBP-SD<11.06 mmHg); Q4(SBP-Mean≥130 mmHg, SBP-SD≥11.06 mmHg). In the same way, according to whether PP-Mean was higher or lower than 80 mmHg(average PP-Mean)and PP-SD was higher or lower than 6.48 mmHg(average PP-SD), the patients were divided into Q1-Q4 groups.Results:After adjusting age, sex, and diabetes duration, Cox regression analysis showed that SBP-Mean, SBP-SD, PP-Mean, and PP-SD were the risk factors of DN. After the stratification according to SBP-Mean and SBP-SD, the patients in Q4 group( HR=1.976, P<0.001)had the highest risk while those in Q1 group displayed the lowest risk for DN. Additionally, the patients in Q3 group( HR=1.614, P<0.001)imposed a higher risk than that in Q2 group( HR=1.408, P<0.001). By stratificating the patients based on PP-Mean and PP-SD, the patients in Q4 group revealed the highest risk of DN( HR=1.370, P<0.001)while those in Q1 group had the lowest risk. In addition, the patients in Q3 group( HR=1.266, P<0.001)had a higher risk of DN compared with those in Q2 group( HR=1.212, P<0.001). Conclusion:SBP and PP variabilities are the predictors of DN in patients with type 2 diabetes.

RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate the relationship between long-, short-term systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) and renal damage in elder population. Methods: Our research was conducted in the 3rd physical examination of healthy population from Kailuan group by cohort study. Cluster sampling was used by 25% ratio in subjects≥60 years of age to monitor their 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and finally, 2464/3064 participants with inclusion criteria were recruited. SBPV indexes as standard deviation of systolic blood pressure (SSD), variability independent of the mean (VIM), maximum-minimum difference (MMD) and average real variability (ARV) were examined; renal damage indexes as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and microalbuminuria (ALBU) were detected. Relationships between different long-term, short-term SBPV indexes and eGFR, ALBU were studied by multi-liner regression analysis. Results:①The mean age of 2464 participants was (67.41 ± 6.05) years including 1667 (67.7%) male and 797 (32.3%) female.②Multi-liner regression analysis indicated that different long-term SBPV indexes were not related to eGFR and ALBU; 24h SBPV in all 4 indexes and day-time SSD, MMD, ARV were negatively related to eGFR; 24h ARV and day-time MMD, ARV were positively related to ALBU; night-time SBPV indexes were not related to eGFR and ALBU.Conclusion: Different short-term SBPV indexes were, at certain point related to eGFR and ALBU
RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate the impact of improved AHA cardiovascular health behavior score (CHS) on short-time systemic blood pressure variability (SBPV) in elder population. Methods: A total of 2464 participants ≥ 60 years from 3 hospitals of Kailuan area were taken for cohort study. The participants had no cardiovascular disease, not taking anti-psychotic drug, Parkinson treatment drug, anti-depression drug and analgesic drug within 2 weeks. All participants received 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and the 24-hour, day-time, night-time SBPV were deifned by the standard deviation of 24-hour, day-time, night-time systolic blood pressure. The influence of CHS on SBPV was studied by multi-linear regression analysis. Improved cardiovascular health behavior and factors implied as changing the vegetable intake amount to salt amount by American Humane Association, 2010; boundary of BMI based on《Guidelines for prevention of overweight and obesity in Chinese adults》; status of exercise was deifed as the ideal status: ≥80 min/week, general status: Results: Finally, 1812 participants were recruited for survey and they were divided into 3 groups according to improved CHS: Group①, CHS (0-4) points,n=56, Group②, CHS (5-9) pointsn=1600 and Group③, CHS (10-14) points,n=156.

RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:This study was undertaken to observe the characteristics of blood pressure variability (BPV) and sepsis and to investigate changes in blood pressure and its value on the severity of illness in patients with sepsis. METHODS:Blood parameters, APACHE Ⅱ score, and 24-hour ambulatory BP were analyzed in 89 patients with sepsis. RESULTS:In patients with APACHE Ⅱ score>19, the values of systolic blood pressure (SBPV), diasystolic blood pressure (DBPV), non-dipper percentage, cortisol (COR), lactate (LAC), platelet count (PLT) and glucose (GLU) were significantly higher than in those with APACHE Ⅱ score ≤19 (P<0.05 ), whereas the values of procalcitonin (PCT), white blood cell (WBC), creatinine (Cr), PaO2, C-reactive protein (CRP), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Correlation analysis showed that APACHE Ⅱ scores correlated significantly with SBPV and DBPV (P<0.01, r=0.732 and P<0.01, r=0.762). SBPV and DBPV were correlated with COR (P=0.018 and r=0.318; P=0.008 and r=0.353 respectively). However, SBPV and DBPV were not correlated with TNF-α, IL-10, and PCT (P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis of SBPV, DBPV, APACHE Ⅱ score, and LAC was used to predict prognosis in terms of survival and non-survival rates. Receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) showed that DBPV was a better predictor of survival rate with an AUC value of 0.890. However, AUC of SBPV, APACHE Ⅱ score, and LAC was 0.746, 0.831 and 0.915, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The values of SBPV, DBPV and non-dipper percentage are higher in patients with sepsis. DBPV and SBPV can be used to predict the survival rate of patients with sepsis.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Tourniquets are used to provide a bloodless surgical field for extremities. Hypotension due to vasodilation and bleeding after tourniquet deflation is a common event. Hemodynamic stability is modulated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Heart rate variability (HRV) is a sensitive method for detecting individuals who may be at risk of hemodynamic instability during general anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to investigate ANS function to predict hypotension after tourniquet deflation. METHODS: Eighty-six patients who underwent total knee replacement arthroplasty (TKRA) were studied. HRV, systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) were analyzed. We assigned two groups depending on the lowest systolic blood pressure (SBP) or mean BP (MBP) after tourniquet release (Group H; SBP 80 mmHg and MBP > 60 mmHg). RESULTS: Fifteen patients developed severe hypotension and ten patients were treated with ephedrine. Of the parameters of HRV, SBPV, and BRS, only BRSSEQ was significant being low in Group H. BRS and high-frequency SBPV were correlated with the degree of MBP change after tourniquet deflation. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative low BRS is associated with hypotension after tourniquet deflation, suggesting the importance of baroreflex regulation for intraoperative hemodynamic stability.
