Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 2000;0(04):-
Objective: This research carried out the native assessment to the Montreal Battery of Musical Evaluation, including MBEA and Musical emotion test. Methods: 60 normals were tested by MBEA (including 30 university students). Also 40 students were tested by musical emotion recognition battery. The correct rates were recorded and compared with western normals’data. Results: There were significant differences in pitch judgments and musical emotion recognition be- tween Chinese and Westerners, while rhythm perception and memory of music did not have significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Culture difference mainly influences the musical pitch perception in brain but rhythm. Chinese have its own understanding of western musical excerpts. Although MBEA is wildly accepted abroad, native analogy testing tool is acquired.

Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2012;21(6):571-574
Objective: To observe influence of aerobic exercise on blood pressure in patients with white coat hypertension (WCH). Methods: A total of 51 newly diagnostic WCH patients were randomly divided into exercise group (n=26) and WCH control group (n=25). Patients in exercise group received aerobic exercise training (walking on flat ground by constant speed, twice a day, 50~80 min each time for three months); The WCH control group did not exercise. Office blood pressure (OBP) and 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) were measured in both groups before and three months after treatment. Results: There were no significant difference in indexes of OBP and ABPM between two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After three months, compared with before treatment, indexes of OBP and ABPM significantly decreased in exercise group and they were significantly lower than those of WCH control group in OBP [OSBP: (132.54±17.60) mmHg vs. (143.68±20.35) mmHg, ODBP: (89.12±18.39) mmHg vs. (92.75±17.24) mmHg] and ABPM [ mSBP:(121.57±20.86) mmHg vs. (128.06±19.45) mmHg, mDBP:(76.24±15.28) mmHg vs. (84.55±17.31) mmHg; dSBP:(124.27±22.50) mmHg vs. (130.85±24.61) mmHg, dDBP:(77.95±18.42) mmHg vs. (82.36±17.59) mmHg], P<0.05~0.01. Conclusions: Aerobic exercise can significantly improve blood pressure in patients with white coat hypertension.
