To explore the clinical features and common complications of fast resting heart rate (RHR) in hypertensionpatients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the entire rest electrocardiogram data of Qingdao study 2000 and Xinyang study2005 in community population elder than 18 years including hypertension patients and non-hypertension subjects. Clinical complications as diabetes, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia and stroke, laboratory findings, RHR in ECG, body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio and office blood pressure were collected in all participants. Results: A total of 18183 participants were enrolled including 61.6% male, the average age was (45.2±12.7) years including 6763 hypertension patients. Compared with normal BP subjects, hypertension patients had the faster RHR (73.5±11.6) times/min vs (70.6±9.6) times/min, P<0.001 and more hypertension patients combining fast RHR (14.5% vs 6.4%), P<0.001. In hypertension patients, compared with normal RHR patients, fast RHR patients had the elder age (53.9±12.2) years vs (51.8±11.2) years, lower BMI (25.8±3.6) kg/m2 vs (26.4±3.4) kg/m2 and higher ratio of grade 3 hypertension (68.2%vs 59.0%), all P<0.001; higher levels of fasting blood glucose (6.0±2.4) mmol/L vs (5.6±1.5) mmol/L and triglyceride (2.0±1.8) mmol/L vs (1.7±1.3) mmol/L, both P<0.001, higher LDL-C (3.2±0.9) mmol/L vs (3.1±0.8) mmol/L, P=0.001;more patients with diabetes (6.6% vs 3.9%), P=0.007 and stroke (11.1% vs 8.3%), P=0.005. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that with adjusted traditional risk factors, fast RHR was positively related to stroke occurrence in hypertension patients (OR=1.306, 95% CI 1.021-1.671). Conclusion: Fast RHR happened more in hypertension patients than in normal BP subjects; it had the increased risk for stroke occurrence in hypertension patients.

Objective To study and summarize the successful experience and the safety, easibility, practicality and operation skills of totally laparoscopic extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy (TEP). Methods From October 2006 to May 2008,225 patients in our two hospitals were performed TEP (265 totally laparoscopic extraperitoneal hernia repairs for inguinal hernia), including 55 direct inguinal hernia, 197 indirect inguinal hernia and 13 complex inguinal hernia operations. Among the 225 patients, 185 patients had unilateral hernia and 40 patients had bilateral hernias, including 29 recurrent hernia. Results The operations were lasted for 30 to 182 minutes(the average operating duration was 48 minutes for unilateral hernia and 106 minutes for bilateral hernia). The patients stayed in hospital for 2 to 8 days(the average inpatient hospital stay was 3.0 ± 1.2 days). The most common complication was scrotum bematomas,which appeared in 18 cases. Urinary re-tention appeared in 21 cases. Inguinal pain appeared in 5 cases. Bladder injury appeared 1 case. All the pa-tients were followed up for 3 months- 3 years. There was only 1 case of recurrence. Conclusions The proce-dure of TEP is safe,with faster postoperative recover,less pain,lower incidence of pain,better comfort quality and lower recurrence rate. TEP should be the main laparoscopic procedure for inguinal hernia repair.
