Objective To study the relationship between essential hypertension(EH)with serum homocysteine(HCY),uroten-sinⅡ(UⅡ),angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE)and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP).Methods By collec-ting the clinical cases,UⅡwas determined by ELISA and HCY,ACE and NT-proBNP were simultaneously detected by ELISA.The detection results were analyzed and compared between the patients with essential hypertension(EH group)and the healthy con-trols.Results The levels of serum HCY,UⅡ,ACE and NT-proBNP in the EH group were significantly increased compared with the healthy control group;the area under curve (AUC)of serum HCY,UⅡ,ACE and NT-proBNP in the ROC curve in the EH group were 0.93,0.765,0.792 and 0.972 respectively,which showed clinical diagnostic significance.Conclusion The levels of HCY,UⅡ,ACE and NT-proBNP are highly expressed in EH and have significant differences compared with the healthy popula-tion,which has the diagnostic value to EH.

Objective: To investigate the development of osteoporosis (OS) and its influencing factors among physical examination populations aged over 35 years in urban areas of Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into OP prevention. Methods: Subjects aged over 35 years that underwent physical examinations in Wenhui Street Community Health Service Center of Gongshu District, Hanghzhou City during the period between April and July, 2022 were enrolled. Subjects' demographic characteristics and physical examination data were collected, and the bone mineral density and serum vitamin D levels were measured. The factors affecting the development of OP were identified using a logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 561 subjects were recruited, including 616 males (39.46%) with a median (interquartile range) age of 62 (18) years, and 945 females (60.54%) with a median (interquartile range) age of 62 (19) years. The prevalence of OP was 43.69% among the study subjects. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified women (OR=1.367, 95%CI: 1.105-2.979) and increased age (OR=1.057, 95%CI: 1.044-1.069) as risk factors for OP and elevated serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels as a protective factor for OP (OR=0.969, 95%CI: 0.954-0.985). Conclusions The prevalence of OP was 43.69% among physical examination populations aged over 35 years in urban areas of Hangzhou City, and gender, age and serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D were factors affecting the development of OP.

Objective: To explore the relationship of right collateral ischemic colitis (IC) and calcified plaque of superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Methods Totally 605 patients who underwent CTA of SMA were enrolled and analyzed retrospectively, including 81 patients in IC group and 524 patients in the non-IC group. The detection rate of SMA calcified plaque was compared between the 2 groups. The number, morphology and location of SMA calcified plaque, as well as the degree of stenosis of the opening and the narrowest part of SMA in IC group and the non-IC group were analyzed and compared, and the ROC curve was used to evaluate the efficacy of SMA stenosis degree in diagnosis of IC. Results The incidence of SMA calcified plaques in IC group (13/81, 16.05%) was higher than that in non-IC group (33/524, 6.30%; P=0.002). The number of SMA calcified plaques in IC group was more than that in the non-IC group (P=0.043). Significant difference in the location of calcified plaque was found between the 2 groups (P<0.001). SMA calcified plaques mostly located in the distal segment in IC group, while in the proximal or middle segment in non-IC group. There was no significant difference of plaque morphology between the 2 groups (P=0.421). Statistically significant difference of the narrowest stenosis degree was detected between the 2 groups (P<0.001). The AUC of the narrowest stenosis degree in diagnosis of IC was 0.838 (P<0.001), the sensitivity was 76.92% (10/13), and the specificity was 87.88% (29/33). Conclusion When there are more calcified plaques located in the distal segment of SMA and stenosis degree of the narrowest segment of SMA ≥25%, IC should be considered.
