Objective : To investigate the spatial distribution and the influencing factors of hypertensive patients aged 45 years and above,and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of hypertension among middle-aged and elderly population. Methods : Multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used to collect 150 counties（cities or districts）from 30 provinces（municipalities or autonomous regions）from CHARLS database in 2015 according to the per capita GDP in different areas. Then the probability proportionate to size sampling method was used to select three villages（neighborhood committees）,80 families were randomly selected from each village（neighborhood committees）,and residents aged 45 years and above were interviewed. Spatial analysis was based on the vector map of China's provincial boundaries,Geoda and ArcGIS 10.2 software were used to analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of hypertension at provincial levels. Results : The health data of 14 880 people aged 45 years and above in 28 provinces（municipalities or autonomous regions）were obtained,including 4 203 patients with hypertension（28.25%）and 5 408 people with pre-hypertension（36.34%）. The results of local spatial analysis showed that the clustering regions of hypertension patients were in northeast and eastern parts of China. The results of spatial regression analysis showed that males,age of 80 years and above and overweight were the main risk factors for hypertension（all P<0.05）,which had greater influence on the middle part of China,north and northeast of China,and the east and north of China,respectively. Conclusion Males,age of 80 years and above and overweight were the main risk factors for hypertension in middle-aged and elderly population in China. The main prevention and control areas of hypertension were eastern and northeast China.

Objective: To investigate whether GIV , a coiled helix structural domain protein containing 88A , has an effect on the neuroinflammatory response in a model of cerebral ischemia⁃reperfusion injury. Methods: A middle cerebral artery embolization⁃reperfusion model (MACO/R) and an oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation model ( OGD 6 h + R 24 h) of BV2 microglia were constructed in C57BL/6 mice , and the area of cerebral infarction was detected by TTC staining; the Longa neurobiological score was used to evaluate the degree of neurological deficit in mice ; ELISA was used to detect the release of IL⁃6 and TNF⁃α in the supernatant of peripheral blood and cell cultures , and Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of GIV , TREM2 and TLR4 in the cortical area around the infarct foci in mice ; different concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS , 1 , 5 , 10 μg/ml) were used to stimulate BV2 cells for 24 h to establish a neuroinflammation model , qRT⁃PCR was performed to detect the mRNA levels of IL⁃6 , TNF⁃α and IL⁃1β , and Western blot was used to detect the expression of GIV ; OGD/R culture treatment was performed after knocking down the expression of GIV gene using siRNA interference technique ;ELISA was performed to detect the release concentration of IL⁃6 and TNF⁃α in cell culture medium supernatant;protein immunoblotting was performed to detect the knockdown efficiency of GIV. Results : Both the successfully constructed MCAO/R and OGD/R models activated the neuroinflammatory response and induced a decrease in protein expression of GIV ; MCAO/R induced increased concentrations of IL⁃6 and TNF⁃α release in peripheral blood of mice and promoted the protein expression of TREM2 and TLR4 ; LPS activated IL⁃6 , IL⁃1β and TNF⁃α expression in BV2 cells , but did not affect GIV expression ; siRNA interference with GIV gene expression further in creased the expression of inflammatory factors IL⁃6 and TNF⁃α . Conclusion The GIV gene may be characteristically involved in regulating the neuroinflammatory response induced by cerebral ischemia⁃reperfusion injury , and it may be a potential therapeutic target for cerebral ischemia⁃reperfusion injury.
