Objective:
To survey on the home blood pressure measurement and blood pressure control rate among patients with hypertension in Beijing Yuetan community.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted among 504 hypertensive patients, who were visiting Beijing Yuetan Community Health Service Center and selected by convenience-sampling method during June 2018 to January 2019. The status of home blood pressure measurement, the awareness of hypertension, the blood pressure control rate and factors related to not regularly measuring were surveyed.
Results:
Of the 504 patients, 93.7% (472/504) took regular medication, but only 61.5% (310/504) had regular blood pressure measurements; 92.5% (466/504) had sphygmomanometers at home with electronic type mainly; 89.9% (453/504) patients knew the method of blood pressure measurement, but only 11.5% (52/453) had their sphygmomanometer calibrated. Among those who measured blood pressure, 77.4% (240/310) measured per week. The main reason for not measuring blood pressure regularly was that there was no need to measure blood pressure without any discomfort, accounting for 50.0% (97/194). The office blood pressure control rate (with desktop mercury sphygmomanometer) was 62.3% (314/504); the blood pressure control rate both in the morning and at bed time was 61.3% (73/119), that in the morning was 68.1% (81/119) and at bed time was 75.6% (90/119). The control rates of systolic blood pressure and heart rate by home measurement at morning and bedtime were significantly higher than those by office measurement (χ2=5.02, 9.97, 15.51, 13.72; all

ObjectiveTo explore the underlying mechanism of modified Zhenwutang in delaying renal interstitial fibrosis in chronic renal failure (CRF) by observing the effects of modified Zhenwutang on the expression of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ), angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor (AT1R), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 4 (NOX4), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), type I collagen (COL1A1), and type Ⅲ collagen (COL3A1) in the serum and renal tissues of adenine-induced CRF rats. MethodFifty male SPF-grade SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group (n=10) and an experimental group (n=40) using a random number table. After one week of adaptive feeding, the experimental CRF model was established in rats by administering adenine at 150 mg·kg-1·d-1 orally. Three rats from each group were randomly selected to evaluate the model induction. After successful modeling, rats in the experimental group were randomly divided into a model group, low-, medium, and high-dose modified Zhenwutang groups, and a benazepril hydrochloride group, with six rats in each group. The rats were orally administered the corresponding drugs once daily for four weeks. At the end of the first week, 13th week, and 17th week of the experiment, 24 hour urinary protein quantification (24 h-UTP) was measured. At the end of the 17th week, the rats were euthanized, and blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta for the measurement of total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), creatinine (Cr), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in the serum. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the expression levels of serum Ang Ⅱ. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson's trichrome staining were performed to observe the pathological changes in renal tissues. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to observe the expression of AT1R, NOX4, TGF-β1, COL1A1, and COL3A1. Real-time fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to observe the mRNA expression levels of AT1R, NOX4, and TGF-β1. Western blot was conducted to measure the protein expression levels of AT1R, NOX4, and TGF-β1. Result① Compared with the normal group, the model group showed a significant increase in 24 h-UTP (P<0.01). The levels of Cr and BUN in the model group were significantly higher (P<0.01), while the levels of TP and ALB were significantly lower (P<0.01). The serum Ang Ⅱ level in the model group was significantly elevated (P<0.01). The model group exhibited widening of the renal glomerular mesangial space, necrotic glomeruli, increased interstitial width with extensive inflammatory cell infiltration, brownish precipitates blocking the renal tubular lumens, irregular renal tubules, and significant deposition of collagen fibers in the renal interstitium. Additionally, the collagen fibers around the renal vessels, outside the parietal layer of the renal sacs, glomerular basement membrane, and tubular basement membrane increased significantly. The expression of AT1R and NOX4 in the glomeruli and renal tubules of the model group was significantly enhanced, and TGF-β1 expression also significantly increased in the renal tubules. The expression of COL1A1 and COL3A1 in the renal interstitium significantly increased. The mRNA expression of AT1R and TGF-β1 in the model group significantly increased (P<0.01), while NOX4 mRNA expression significantly decreased (P<0.01). The protein expression of AT1R, NOX4, and TGF-β1 was significantly enhanced (P<0.01). ② Compared with the model group, modified Zhenwutang significantly reduced 24h-UTP (P<0.01), decreased levels of Cr and BUN (P<0.01), increased levels of TP and ALB (P<0.01), reduced serum Ang Ⅱ level (P<0.01), alleviated renal pathological damage, reduced expression of AT1R, NOX4, TGF-β1, COL1A1, and COL3A1 in the glomeruli, renal tubules, and renal interstitium, reduced mRNA expression of AT1R and TGF-β1 (P<0.01), increased NOX4 mRNA expression (P<0.01), and weakened protein expression of AT1R, NOX4, and TGF-β1 (P<0.01). The modified Zhenwutang groups showed a significant dose-effect trend. ConclusionModified Zhenwutang may delay renal interstitial fibrosis in CRF rats by reducing the expression of Ang Ⅱ, AT1R, NOX4, and TGF-β1 in the serum and renal tissues, thereby alleviating renal pathological damage, reducing proteinuria, protecting renal function, and delaying the progression of CRF. The modified Zhenwutang group exhibited a dose-effect trend.

Multiple plant lineages have independently evolved sex chromosomes and variable kary-otypes to maintain their sessile lifestyles through constant biological innovation.Morus notabilis,a dioecious mulberry species,has the fewest chromosomes among Morus spp.,but the genetic basis of sex determination and karyotype evolution in this species has not been identified.In this study,three high-quality genome assemblies were generated for Morus spp.[including dioecious M.notabilis(male and female)and Morus yunnanensis(female)]with genome sizes of 301-329 Mb and were grouped into six pseudochromosomes.Using a combination of genomic approaches,we found that the putative ancestral karyotype of Morus species was close to 14 protochromosomes,and that sev-eral chromosome fusion events resulted in descending dysploidy(2n=2x=12).We also charac-terized a~6.2-Mb sex-determining region on chromosome 3.Four potential male-specific genes,a partially duplicated DNA helicase gene(named MSDH)and three Ty3_Gypsy long terminal repeat retrotransposons(named MSTG1/2/3),were identified in the Y-linked area and considered to be strong candidate genes for sex determination or differentiation.Population genomic analysis showed that Guangdong accessions in China were genetically similar to Japanese accessions of mul-berry.In addition,genomic areas containing selective sweeps that distinguish domesticated mul-berry from wild populations in terms of flowering and disease resistance were identified.Our study provides an important genetic resource for sex identification research and molecular breeding in mulberry.
