Objective:To study effect of health education on blood pressure control in patients with hypertension through community survey and perform health education.Methods:Residents from Datang street community re-ceived systematic sampling and questionnaire.A total of 490 patients with hypertension detected during census were regarded as subjects,and they were randomly divided into routine treatment group (n=240)and health education group (n=250).Health education group received health education,and effects were compared between two groups. Results:Compared with routine treatment group after intervention,there were significant rise in awareness rate of preventive and therapeutic knowledge [diagnostic value of hypertension (49.17% vs.58.40%),risk factors of hy-pertension (30.41% vs.58.00%),antihypertensive medication (58.75% vs.79.60%)]and control rate of blood pressure (23.33% vs.60.80%),and significant reduction in blood pressure [(147.68±13.97)/(89.30±12.43)mm-Hg vs.(143.57±13.53)/(85.73±11.54)mmHg]in health education group,P<0.05 or<0.01. Conclusion:Carry-ing out targeted health education possesses active significance for prevention and treatment of hypertension.

Objective To study the serotype , biochemical characteristics , virulence gene and multilocus sequence typ-ing(MLST) of S.flexneri 4c in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenyang .Methods Seventy-six strains of S.flexneri 4c isolated from stool samples which had been collected from above-mentioned cities of China were identified with Denka Seiken serum and MASF monoclonal serum .Biochemical characteristics of each strain were identified by API 20E test strip and PCR technology was used for detecting 12 pair virulence genes of S.flexneri.MLST was used to analyze the characteristics . Results The serum agglutination antigen structure of S.flexneri 4c was(Ⅳ:7,8).MASF:B+,Ⅳ:Ⅰ+,7 (8) +.S.flexneri 4c developed different results in biochemical reactions and carried different rates of virulence genes , respectively .The IND test positive rate was 17.11%; MEL weakly positive rate was 3.9%, and ARA test weakly positive rate was 22.37%. Virulence genes were carried at a rate of 89.47% -100%, MLST typing was ST245.Conclusion S.flexneri 4c with serum agglutination antigen structure (Ⅳ:7,8) is a new serotype of S.flexneri.The main biochemical reactions are glucose fermentation and mannitol decomposition .A variety of Shigella related virulence genes are carried .MLST generation is consistent,suggesting that the bacteria might have evolved from ST 270 cloning.

Objective To investigate functional connectivity between the two hemispheres in patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia using voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity ( VMHC ) based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Methods Eighteen patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia and 22 healthy controls underwent the rs-fMRI. The whole brain VMHC was calculated in order to provide imaging basis for the study of the pathological mechanism of schizophrenia. Results Compared to the controls, VMHC values were decreased in the bilateral orbitofrontal cortex (t=-5.31, P<0.01), fusiform gyrus (t=-5.16, P<0.01), middle occipital gyrus (t=-5.31, P<0.01) in patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia. Conclusion The functional coordination between homotopic brain regions is impaired in patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia .
