There were 3 000 Zhuangs,1 102 Miaos, and 1 283 Yaos in Baise City of Guangxi,who were enrolled in this population sampling stratfying survey. Height, weight, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and lipids were determined, and compared with those of 2 000 Hans of the same town. The prevalence of hypertension and metablic syndrome in Zhuang inhabitants was high, so were the disorders of glycemia and lipidemia, while in Miao and Yao minorities, the prevalences were comparatively lower. The awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension in these minorities were insufficient.

ObjectiveTo realize the relevance between hypertension and serum uric acid (SUA) in residents in Baise City.MethodsTwenty one thousand,five hundred and eighty eight Baise residents were examined.The body weight,height,waist circumference,hip circumference,blood pressure(BP) were recorded and blood lipidlevels,blood glucoseand serum uric acid (SUA) were tested.The relevance between hypertension and hyperuricemia (HUA) was analyzed by multi-factor variance analysis,x2 test,t test,linear regression and Logistic regression analysis.ResultsHypertension prevalence rate was 31.5％,the frequency of HUA was 12.0％,and 5.8％ residents had both.For patients with both hypertension and HUA,when compared to those with normal serum uric level,their mean diastolic blood pressure(DBP) was(84±10),(72±6) mm Hg res-pectively,there mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) was(151±12),(127±6) mm Hg respectively,and pulse pressure (PP) was (50±12),(37±8) mm Hg respectively.The average BMI of those two groups was (23.9±2.6),(21.7±2.4) kg/m2 respectively.The average TC level was (6.0±1.3),(5.2±1.1)mmol/L respectively,the average TG level was(2.3±2.2),(1.5±0.7) mmol/L respectively,and the average LDL-C level was(3.4±1.3),(3.0±1.1) mmol/L respectively.All these parameters were higher than those people without hypertension or HUA(P＜0.01).However,the situation of HDL-C[ (1.2±0.4),(1.5±0.5)mmol/L] was the opposite (P＜0.01).Regression analysis had shown that age,BMI,waist-hip ratio,SUA,blood glucose,TC,TG,HDL-C and LDL-C were independent risk factors for hypertension,while people with HUA was 3.1 times more when compared to those without HUA.The prevalence rate of HUA in people with hypertension was 2.6 times higher than that of the control group.ConclusionHypertension and HUA are two public health problems that prevalent in the residents in Baise City.Obesity,high blood glucose level and hyperlipidemia are thebasis for the development of hypertension and HUA.Hypertension can be the cause of HUA and verse versa.They may have mutual interactions.The adverse effect of HUA on-cardiovascular system should be taken into consideration clinically.

Objective To study the effect of scalp acupuncture plus facilitation technique on the temporal and spatial parameters of gait in spastic cerebral palsy. Method Thirty eligible patients with spastic cerebral palsy were randomized into a treatment group and a control group based on the inter-group balance in age, palsy type, and the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), 15 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by scalp acupuncture, together with the facilitation technique during the retaining of the needles; the control group was also by scalp acupuncture and facilitation techniques but with over 1 h interval between the two methods. The treatment was given once a day, totally for 3 months. The walking, running, and jumping items (E category) of the Gross Motor Function Measure-66 (GMFM-66), temporal and spatial parameters of gait, and vertical ground reaction force during stance were compared before and after the treatment. Result There were no significant inter-group differences in comparing the rates of E category of the GMFM-66 before the treatment (P>0.05), the rates were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and there were significant differences in comparing the rates between the two groups after the intervention (P<0.05);after the intervention, the step length, walking speed, and step frequency were increased significantly in both groups (P<0.05), while the double-stance phase was decreased significantly, and swing phase was increased significantly (P<0.05); after the intervention, the step length, walking speed, and step frequency of the treatment group were significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture plus facilitation technique can mitigate the spasticity in spastic cerebral palsy, improve the gross motor function, especially the function of standing and walking, enhance the activities, and benefit the improvement of the step length, step width, and walk speed.
