Objective To investigate the relationship of MTP gene variation with type 2 diabetic angiopathy. Methods PCR and restriction-fragment-length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) analysis and gene sequencing were used to investigate the influence of a common MTP gene polymorphism in promoter region on diabetic macroangiopathy. Results (1) A single nucleotide mutation of G→T was detected at 493 bp of upstream from the transcriptional start point.There was a significant difference in genotype frequency(χ2=9.162,P=0.01) and T allele frequency(χ2=10.322,P=0.001) between macroangiopathy group and non-macroangiopathy group.(2) MTP-493 TT group had the significantly higher serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, VLDL-C and lower HDL-C than other genotype groups.(3) Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that T allele, age, disease duration, diastolic blood pressure and total cholesterol were independent risk factors against type 2 diabetic macroangiopathy.The HDL-C level was negatively related with diabetic macroangiopathy. Conclusions MTP-493 TT genotype may be deeply involved in production of atherogenic dyslipidemia and associated with development of macroangiopathy in type 2 diabetic subjects.

Objective To compare the effects of different methods of blood pressure management in elderly hypertensive patients in the community,so as to explore the effective model for the management of chronic diseases.Methods 302 elderly hypertensive patients in Puhuangyu community health service center were divided into two groups by random number method:(1) receiving conventional antihypertensive drugs (control group,n=152);(2) receiving antihypertensive drugs combined with blood pressure self-measurements at least twice-weekly and real-time adjusting antihypertensive management (blood pressure self-measurements group,n =150).Medication adherence,levels of blood pressure control and blood pressure-targeting rate were compared between groups one year after intervention.Results Medication adherence rate was higher in self-measurements group than in the control group [94.7％ (142 cases) vs.75.7％ (115 cases),P＜ 0.05].After intervention,systolic pressure was decreased from (168.5±37.7) mmHg to (155.3±25.2) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) in the control group and from (168.0±38.1)mmHg to (141.7 ±22.9) mmHg in self-measurements group (all P＜0.05).Diastolic pressure level was similar in the two groups.There was a significant difference in the blood pressure-targeting rate between groups (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Blood pressure self-measurements are more effective in controlling blood pressure and can improve the self-management ability in elderly patients with chronic diseases in the community.
