Objective:To observe the effect of tuina manipulations on blood pressure and its variability in hypertension patients. Methods:Forty hypertension patients were randomized into an observation group and a medication group, 20 cases in each group. The observation group was intervened by tuina manipulations of kidney-tonifying blood-circulating and collaterals- unblocking in addition to regular medication, while the medication group was by the same medication. The 24-hour blood pressure monitoring was performed before intervention and after 3-month intervention. The blood pressure and its variability were observed and compared. Results:There were no significant differences in comparing the blood pressure and blood pressure variability between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05); after 3-month intervention, the blood pressure and its variability were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05); the improvements in the observation group were more significant than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Tuina manipulations of kidney-tonifying blood-circulating and collaterals-unblocking plus medication can produce a better effect than regular medication in promoting blood pressure and its variability, and this method is worth applying in clinic as it’s easy-to-operate and has no adverse effect.

Objective To investigate the association betwee n the β3-adrenergic receptor gene (β3-AR) and obesity. Methods 147 patients with obesity and 106 controls were selected. Genotype of the β 3-AR was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragme nt length polymorphism methods (RFLP). Body mass index (BMI) was detected. Results The frequency of Arg64 allele of β3-AR gene in the obesit y g roup (20.3%) was significantly higher than those in the control group (10.2%) ( P=0.001) . The distribution of Trp64Arg and Arg64Arg genotype in the patient group (38.7% and 0.9%) were both higher than that in the control group (19.0% and 0.7%). In the female subj ects, the Trp64Arg mutation and frequency of Arg64 allele of the β3-AR gene in the obesity group(40.6% and 20.3%) were also higher than those in control (16 . 7% and 9.5%)(P<0.01). Conclusions These results suggest th at the Trp64Arg mutation of the β3-adrenergic-receptor gene may be associat ed with increased body fat.
