Objective To study the prevalence and relevant risk factors of low blood pressure and its influence on cardiovascular diseases in China. Methods A cross-sectional study for low blood pressure was conducted using the data of the third national survey of blood pressure in 1991. Low blood pressure was defined for systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) pressure less than the tenth percentile for the sample (SBP≤98mmHg and DBP≤60mmHg). Results The prevalence of low blood pressure for males and females were 2.7% and 7.4%, respectively. The prevalence of low blood pressure for females was higher than that of males (P<0.01). Prevalence of low blood pressure was 7.62%, 6.97%, 4.40%, 3.22%, 2.65%, 1.94% for age groups 15~, 25~, 35~, 45~, 55~, 65~, respectively. The prevalence of low blood pressure was gradually declined with aging. There was large variation in the prevalence of low blood pressure for different minorities. The prevalence of low blood pressure was higher in the southern rather than the northern part of China. Logistic regression showed that the age (OR 0.97, 95%CI 0.97~0.98, per 10 mmHg), BMI (OR 0.80, 95%CI 0.80~0.81), drinking (OR 0.89, 95%CI 0.86~0.93) and heart rate (OR 0.981, 95%CI 0.980~0.982) had reverse relationship with low blood pressure. The sex had a positive relationship with low blood pressure. The prevalence of stroke and myocardial infarction in the population with low blood pressure was lower than that of normal pressure or hypertension (P<0.01). Conclusion The prevalence and relevant risk factors of low blood pressure in China were various. We speculate that low blood pressure in Chinese population appears to be a normal state of physiology.The difinite influence in health needs cohort studies to confirm.

Essential hypertension (EH), a complex polygenic disease, is considered to the result of the genetic interaction of multiple gene alterations in concert with environmental factors. Evidences showed that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and G protein beta3 subunit (GNB3) gene are both important susceptibility genes for EH, and that there exists putative biological connection between the two genes in developing hypertension. To investigate whether hypertension was affected by gene-gene interaction between the two genes in the northern Chinese Han population, a case-control association study including 502 hypertensive cases and 490healthy controls was conducted, selecting the ACE gene I/D polymorpinsm and the GNB3 gene C825T polymorphism. Linkage disequilibrium analysis revealed a significant nonrandom distribution only in male hypertensives, indicating that interaction between ACE gene and GNB3 gene may predispose males to the occurrence of hypertension. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression in single locus analysis, with adjustment for common risk factors for hypertension, demonstrated that the OR for DD/ID versus Ⅱ for hypertension among men was significant (OR 1.57; 95% CI, 1.09 ~2.27; P = 0.016) in dominant genetic model. In combination analysis stratified with respect to gender, slightly significant ORs were found after adjustment in males: OR for TT vs CC, 0.11; 95%CI, 0.01 ~0.99; P = 0.049 within ACE DD genotype; OR for DD/ID vs Ⅱ, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.01 ~2.29; P = 0.047 within GNB3 CC+CT genotype. The results suggest that ACE, or a nearby gene, is a male-specific susceptible gene for hypertension, and that there may exist epistatic gene-gene interaction between ACE D allele and GNB3 825C allele.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted based on the data cohort of China multicenter collaborative study of cardiovascular epidemiology in 2007-2008. A total of 7227 participants were enrolled including 3304 male and 3923 female at the mean age of (55.6±7.1) years. Tea drinking information was collected by questionnaire; participants were stratified by gender and grouped by regular tea drinking. Relationship between tea drinking and blood lipids, lipoprotein levels were assessed by covariance analysis. Results: There were 3012/7227 (41.7%) participants (male: 58.9% and female: 27.2%) regularly drunk tea. With adjusted age, urban and rural, education level, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, body mass index (BMI), daily red meat intake, physical work intensity, exercise intensity, histories of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia, in male gender, compared with non-regular tea drinker, regular tea drinker had decreased blood level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), the difference was -0.12 mmol/L, P=0.0001 and increased triglyceride (TG), the difference was 0.11 mmol/L, P=0.0001; in female gender, regular tea drinker showed increased high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), the difference was 0.06 mmol/L, P<0.0001. Conclusion: In our research, regular tea drinking was negatively related to blood LDL-C level and positively related to TG in male gender, while it was positively related to HDL-C in female gender; the above correlations were independent from possible influencing factors. The impact of long term regular tea drinking on blood lipids and lipoprotein levels should be further prospectively investigated in community based middle and aged population.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the effects of different analgesia methods after UPPP.
METHOD:
Ninety cases of patients uvulopalatopharyngoplasty were divided into 3 groups randomly, and 30 cases in each group. The group A was the blank control group without any analgesia measures. The cases in group B were treated with intramuscular injection of parecoxib sodium 40 mg after surgery immediately, and continued injecting 40 mg after 12 hours, 24 hours and 36 hours respectively. 100 mg tramadol replaced 40 mg parecoxib sodium in group C. The VAS scoring was performed after surgery 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 hours in 3 groups, and we observed adverse reaction such as lethargy, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, skin rash and so on.
RESULT:
The group B and C reduced the pain significantly compared with blank control group. The pain scores in group B were significantly decreased than that in group C (P<. 05).
CONCLUSION
The analgesic effect of parecoxib sodium after UPPP is significant and better than tramadol. It is worthy to use widely in clinical due to its better effect and less side effect.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between the major allergens of 6 common allergic foods and IgA nephropathy.
METHODSA sensitive sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum levels of food-specific IgA1, IgG and IgE in 31 patients with IgA nephropathy and 80 healthy volunteers. All the patients were examined for a history of food allergy using a questionnaire.
RESULTSSerum levels of IgA1 and IgG against the major allergens of the 6 common allergic foods were significantly higher in patients with IgA nephropathy than in healthy volunteers (P<0.05). There was no detectable food-specific IgE antibodies in the two groups. No patients had a clear history of food allergy. All the patients with increased IgG levels specific to 4 or more foods simultaneously had proteinuria.
CONCLUSIONSSome foods especially the highly allergic ones may participate in the pathogenesis and progression of IgA nephropathy.
