Objective To integrate a real-time remote monitoring device for movement and heart rate load during rehabilitation exercis-es. Methods Polar heart rate sensor was used, and assisted with a wireless relay to transmit the heat rate signals to 100 meters away. The vid-eo overlay device combined and superimposed the synchronized movement video to heart rate data. It completed the simultaneous acquisi-tion of heat rate signal and movement video, as well as the real-time recording and analysis of data and images with a customized software. Results and Conclusion This system provides a platform for the real-time movement and heart rate monitoring and analysis of rehabilita-tion exercise on the Windows.

Objective To observe the effect of hydrogen on ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced oxidative damage to skin fibroblasts.Methods Primary human skin fibroblasts from foreskin tissues were divided into five groups:normal control group receiving no treatment,hydrogen control group treated with hydrogen-rich saline,UVB group receiving irradiation only,post-treatment group irradiated with UVB followed by hydrogen-rich saline treatment,and pre-treatment group treated with hydrogen-rich saline followed by UVB irradiation.The dose of UVB was 30,60 and 90 mJ/cm2 in the cell proliferation assay and 90 mJ/cm2 in the other experiments.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to evaluate the proliferative activity of fibroblasts,a chemiluminescence method to estimate the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase as well as to determine the level of malondialdehyde in the culture supernatant of fibroblasts,enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine the supernatant level of 8-isoprostane-prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α),Western blot to detect the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in fibroblasts.One-factor analysis of variance was conducted to assess differences in these parameters among these groups.Results UVB irradiation decreased the proliferative activity (absorbence value at 490 nm) of fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner.Both the pre-treatment group and post-treatment group showed a statistical increase in proliferative activity of cells compared with the corresponding UVB control groups (all P < 0.05).The activity of SOD and catalase as well as the protein expression of HO-1 were significantly higher (all P < 0.05),whereas the supernatant levels of malondialdehyde and 8-iso-PGF2α were statistically lower (both P < 0.05) in the pre-treatment group and post-treatment group than in the UVB control group.Conclusion Hydrogen may mitigate UVB-induced oxidative damage to skin fibroblasts.

ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of circadian rhythm of blood pressure in patients with masked hypertension (MH) and its relationship with twelve two-hour peirods, providing a basis for early detection and intervention of MH. MethodsPatients who underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure examination in the ambulatory blood pressure room of Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January to December 2022 were enrolled, and according to their outpatient blood pressure measurements, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and follow-up survey results, the MH, essential hypertension (EH) and normal blood pressure groups were classified, with 50 cases in each group. The general data, office blood pressure and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring data were collected. The circadian rhythm of blood pressure including 24-hour average systolic blood pressure (24h SBP), daytime average systolic blood pressure (d SBP), nighttime average systolic blood pressure (n SBP), 24-hour average diastolic blood pressure (24h DBP), daytime average diastolic blood pressure (d DBP), and nighttime average diastolic blood pressure (n DBP) were compared among the groups, and the nighttime blood pressure dipping percentage was calculated. The type of circadian rhythm was determined based on the nighttime blood pressure dipping percentage. The variability of blood pressure including 24h SBP standard deviation (24h SBP-SD), d SBP standard deviation (dSBP-SD), n SBP standard deviation (nSBP-SD), 24h DBP standard deviation (24h DBP-SD), d DBP standard deviation (dDBP-SD), and n DBP standard deviation (nDBP-SD) were compared among groups, and the corresponding coefficient of variation (CV), that is, 24h SBP-CV, d SBP-CV, n SBP-CV, 24h DBP-CV, d DBP-CV and n DBP-CV, were calculated. Based on the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring results, the twelve two-hour average SBP and DBP in each group were calculated and compared. Simultaneously, patients with EH were divided into grades 1, 2, and 3 for further stratified analysis. ResultsThe age of the MH group was significantly higher than that of the EH group and the normal blood pressure group (P<0.01). The body mass index (BMI) and the proportion of smoking and alcohol consumption in the MH group and the EH group were significantly higher than those in the normal blood pressure group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the normal blood pressure group, there were 49 dipper patterns (98.0%) and one non-dipper pattern (2.0%); in the MH group, there were two dipper patterns (4.0%), 29 non-dipper patterns (58.0%) and 19 reverse-dipper patterns (38.0%); in the EH group, there were 20 dipper patterns (40.0%), 23 non-dipper patterns (46.0%) and seven reverse-dipper patterns (14.0%). Compared to the normal blood pressure group, the groups of MH and EH had significantly decreased proportion of dipper pattern and increased proportion of non-dipper and reverse-dipper pattern (P<0.01); the proportion of dipper pattern in the MH group was lower than that in the EH group, while the proportion of reverse-dipper pattern was higher (P<0.01). Compared to those in the normal blood pressure group, n SBP and n DBP in the MH group, as well as the the average SBP and average DBP at Zi hour (子时, 23:00-1:00), Chou hour (丑时, 1:00-3:00), Yin hour (寅时, 3:00-5:00), Mao hour (卯时, 5:00-7:00) and average SBP at Hai hour (亥时, 21:00-23:00) in the MH group increased,while the average DBP at Si hour (巳时, 9:00-11:00) decreased (P<0.01); 24h SBP, 24h DBP, d SBP, d DBP, n SBP, and n DBP,d SBP-SD, n SBP-SD,n DBP-SD increased, as well as the average SBP and average DBP at twelve two-hour periods increased in the EH group,while the 24h SBP-CV, 24h DBP-CV,and d DBP-CV in the EH group decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The EH group had higher 24h SBP, 24h DBP, d SBP, d DBP, n SBP, n DBP, 24h DBP-SD and n DBP-SD , as well as higher average SBP and DBP at all twelve two-hour periods, and lower d DBP-CV than the MH group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The EH group had 18 cases of grade 1 (36.0%), 19 cases of grade 2 (38.0%) and 13 cases of grade 3 (26.0%), with no significant differences among groups (P>0.05). ConclusionThe circadian rhythm of blood pressure in MH patients are mostly non-dipper and reverse-dipper patterns, and the abnormal elevation of blood pressure is obvious at Zi hour, Chou hour, Yin hour and Mao hour (23:00-7:00).
