Objective:To explore the intervention effects of an Internet-based blood pressure monitoring and management platform in a prehypertensive population.Methods:One hundred and fifty-eight prehypertensive patients who were examined at the Third Xiangya Hospital in Changsha, China, from August to December 2019 were randomly divided into either the experimental or control groups using the random number table method. The experimental group utilized an Internet-based blood pressure monitoring and management platform, whereas the control group utilized regular telephone and SMS health management routines. The intervention duration was 12 months for both groups. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-tests, chi-square tests, χ 2 tests, and rank-sum tests. Results:Post intervention systolic blood pressure (124.79±9.71 mmHg) (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and diastolic blood pressure measurements (77.41±8.21 mmHg) of the participants in the experimental group were significantly lower than those before the intervention (128.29±5.10 mmHg and 79.99±6.01 mmHg, respectively), and significantly lower than those of the control group′s measurements after the intervention (130.00±7.78 mmHg and 80.33±7.90 mmHg, respectively) (all P<0.05). The blood pressure goal attainment rate was significantly higher in the experimental group (23.08%) than that of the control group (8.75%), with statistically significant differences within the experimental group before and after intervention, as well as between the groups post intervention ( P<0.05). Positive lifestyle changes, such as prehypertension knowledge score, active restriction and control of salt and oil intake, reduction of smoking, and exercising weekly, were significantly higher than those in the control group before the intervention (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The use of an Internet-based blood pressure monitoring and management platform can effectively help patients with prehypertension control their blood pressure levels, improve their knowledge about the condition, and improve their lifestyle choices.

Objective:
To investigate the expression and function of the TNF signaling pathway in the early stage of orthodontic tooth movement with periodontitis and to provide evidence to study the early inflammatory response in patients with periodontitis orthodontic treatment.
Methods:
Sixteen SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: group A--12 h of orthodontic tooth movement of the bilateral maxillary first molars in rats with periodontitis; group B--periodontitis model of the bilateral maxillary first molars without orthodontic tooth movement; group C--12 h of orthodontic tooth movement of the same teeth in rats with healthy periodontium; group D--control group without operations. The bilateral maxillary first molars and surrounding periodontal tissue of each group were collected for gene chip detection. Pathway enrichment analysis, qRT-PCR and GO (gene ontology) analysis were performed to identify differential genes involved in the TNF signaling pathway.
Results :
Gene chip results showed that the TNF signaling pathway was significantly upregulated in group A, group B and group C (P <0.01). Among the differential genes involved in the pathway, 28 were upregulated and 5 were downregulated in group A, 12 were upregulated and 4 were downregulated in group B, and 12 were upregulated and 1 was downregulated in group C (P <0.05). The most significant GO items included "response to lipopolysaccharide", "inflammatory response", "positive regulation of NF-κB transcription factor activity", "positive regulation of NF-κB import into nucleus" and "response to hypoxia"(P <0.001). qRT-PCR results showed no significant difference in TNF-α mRNA expression in group C compared with that in group D, TNF-α was upregulated in both groups A and B (P <0.01), and mRNA expression decreased in the following order: group A > group B > group C (P <0.05). Compared with group D, the expression levels of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) and interleukin-6 ( IL-6) in groups A, B and C were significantly upregulated (P <0.05), but the expression levels of PTGS2 and IL-6 in group A were lower than those in group B (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
The TNF signaling pathway is activated in the early stage of orthodontic tooth movement in rats with periodontitis. The pathway products participate in many biological processes and play an important role in the inflammatory response and bone absorption.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Danggui Shaoyaosan (DSS) on the morphology and function of mitochondria in rats model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its possible mechanism. MethodRats model of AD was established by injection of streptozocin (STZ) into bilateral ventricles of SD rats. The 40 rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group, low, medium and high dosages of Danggui Shaoyaosan (12,24,36 g·kg-1·d-1) groups,observed the morphological changes of mitochondria in hippocampus of rats by electron microscopy after 14 days of continuous gavage. In situ end labeling(TUNEL) staining used to detect apoptosis and immunofluorescencereactive used to observe the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ coactivator lalpha (PGC-1α),quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR)detected the mRNA expression of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1),mitochondrial fusion protein 2 (MFN2) ,cytochrome C oxidase subunit Ⅳ (COX Ⅳ) and PGC-1α. Western blot detected the protein expression of adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK),phosphorylation(p)-AMPK,recombinant Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and PGC-1α. ResultCompared with the sham group,the results of model group showed that the damage of mitochondria in hippocampus was more obvious,accelerated the ROS production and apoptosis rate (P<0.01),decreased the mRNA level of MFN2,COX Ⅳ,PGC-1α,increased the mRNA level of Drp1,and descended the protein of p-AMPK/AMPK,SIRT1,PGC-1α (P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the medium and high dose of DSS group notably improved the damage of mitochondria,reduced the production of ROS and apoptosis rate (P<0.01),promoted the mRNA expression of MFN2,COX Ⅳ,PGC-1α,inhibited the mRNA expression of Drp1,and up-regulated the protein of p-AMPK/AMPK,SIRT1,PGC-1α (P<0.01). ResultDSS can significantly ameliorate the mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance in AD rats.
