Objective To explore the effect of doctor-patient interaction based on information platform on hypertensive patients' self-efficacy and treatment compliance in community. Methods A convenience sampling method was used, and 280 patients with hypertension in Huaxin community health service centre were included. Patients were divided into interactive group (89 cases) and control group (191 cases) according to their wishes. Control group received a regular follow-up at community clinics, while interactive group participated in the doctor-patient interaction based on information platform at the same time of regular community clinic visit for 3 months. All patients were investigated using Self-efficacy Assessment Scale for Hypertensives and Treatment Compliance Questionnaire before and after intervention, which was used for effectiveness analysis. Results Before intervention, two groups showed no significant difference in self-efficacy (t=1.635,P>0.05), but there was significant difference in treatment compliance [interactive group:8.00(5.00) vs. control group:10.00(3.00)] (Z=4.409,P<0.05). After the intervention, two groups showed no significant difference in treatment compliance (Z=0.784,P>0.05), but there was significant difference in self-efficacy (interactive group:34.42 ± 4.49 vs. control group:32.63 ± 5.53) (t=2.867, P<0.01), which in interactive group was higher. Before and after the intervention, self-efficacy and the treatment compliance had significantly increased in interactive group (P<0.05). while not significantlyincreased in control group (P>0.05). Before intervention, there was a significant positive correlation between the total score of self-efficacy and treatment compliance(r=0.500, P<0.001), drug therapy compliance (r=0.327, P<0.001) and Non-drug treatment compliance (r=0.469, P<0.001) in two groups, while there was lower positive correlation after intervention. Conclusion The doctor-patient interaction project of community hypertension supervision based on informatization platform is effective on the improvement of self-efficacy and the treatment compliance through the enhanced doctor-patient communication, particularly in promoting the role of self-efficacy to accelerate the improvement of health behaviors, compliance behavior and treatment compliance.

Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2023;40(11):989-992
Objective To explore the effects of valproate on vestibular migraine (VM) symptom improvement and vestibular function. Methods The patients with VM treated in the Dizziness Diagnosis and Treatment Center of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from September 1,2019 to May 1,2021 were randomly divided into Valproate group and Flunarizine group. The patients were treated with valproate or flunarizine for three months. Before and after the treatment,the frequency of VM as well as the scores of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) items were recorded. Vestibular function was compared in the Valproate group before and after treatment. Results The VM frequency,the total scores of VAS and DHI,and the scores of VAS and DHI items in both groups were significantly reduced after the treatment. The changes in VM frequency,VAS score,DHI-F score,DHI-P score,and total DHI score before and after treatment were significantly greater in the Valproate group than in the Flunarizine group. There was no significant difference in the variation of DHI-E score before and after treatment between the two groups. Abnormal eye movement,gaze,and spontaneous nystagmus decreased significantly in the Valproate group after treatment. There were no significant differences in abnormal caloric test,c-VEMP,o-VEMP,saccade test,smooth pursuit test,and direction-changing positional nystagmus. Conclusion Valproate can significantly improve the symptoms of VM and reduce its frequency. Valproate is more efficient than flunarizine.

Objective:To observe the effects of estradiol on expression of plasma membrane Ca 2+-ATPase isoform 2 in inner ear of rats. Methods:Twenty-five Three-months-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly and equally divided into five groups by random number table mathod,with five rats in each group. Animals in Sham group were sham-operated while others were bilateral ovariactmized. One month after modeling, the OVX groups were supplemented with estradiol (E2 group), progesterone (P group), estradiol and progesterone (E2+P group)and vehicle sesame oil (Veh group), while the Sham operation group (Sham group) was supplemented with vehicle sesame oil.All rats were sacrificed and otocysts were obtained immediately. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the changes in serum estradiol and progesterone levels of each group of rats before operation, before treatment and before sacrifice. Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to detect the expression of total PMCA2 protein and mRNA in the inner ear of each group.Results:There was no significant difference in serum estradiol and progesterone levels among the five groups before operated( P>0.05). Before treatment, the serum estradiol and progesterone levels of rats in each group were significantly lower than those in Sham group ( P<0.05). The serum estradiol level in E2 group and E2+P group was not significantly different from that in Sham group ( P>0.05), while the serum estradiol level in P group and Veh group was significantly different from that in Sham group ( P<0.05). The level of progesterone in P group and E2+P group was higher than that in Sham group ( P<0.05), while the level of progesterone in Veh group and E2 group was lower than that in Sham group ( P<0.05). Protein and mRNA expression of PMCA2 in P and Veh groups were significantly decreased compared with that of Sham group ( P<0.05) while the expression levels underwent no significantly change in E2 and E2+P groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The decrease of serum estradiol level can reduce the expression of otolith regulatory protein PMCA2 in rats, and then affect otolith metabolism, which may be an important link of estrogen affecting otolith metabolism.
