Objective: To construct a hypertension risk prediction model for residents aged 18-79 years, so as to provide an assessment tool for early screening and prevention of hypertension in high-risk groups. Methods: The permanent residents aged 18-79 years from 6 townships (streets) in Fangshan District of Beijing Municipality were selected as the study subjects using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method from March to June 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and blood lipid were collected through questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Subjects were randomly divided into training and validation sets at a 7∶3 ratio. The logistic regression model was used to screen the risk factors of hypertension, and a hypertension risk prediction nomogram was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis were used to verify the discrimination, fit, and clinical application value of the model. Results: A total of 4 438 subjects were included, including 2 365 males (53.29%) and 2 073 females (46.71%), with a mean age of (44.99±14.90) years. The prevalence of hypertension was 35.29% (1 566 cases), and the standardized prevalence was 24.74%. The logistic regression model screened out 9 influencing factors of hypertension. The nomogram was established as ln[p/ (1-p)]= -2.873 + 0.935×40-<50 years + 1.463×50-<60 years + 1.908×60-<70 years + 2.346×70-79 years + 0.298×male-0.675×college degree or above + 0.384×smoking + 0.227×drinking + 0.572×overweight + 1.449×obesity + 0.557×heart rate ≥80 beats/min + 0.428×diabetes + 0.484×dyslipidemia. The area under the ROC curve of the validation set was 0.821 (95%CI: 0.798-0.843), and the calibration curve results showed that the calibration curve fitted the actual curve well. Decision curve analysis showed that the threshold probability was in the range of 0.10 to 0.70, and the model had good predictive value and clinical application value. Conclusion The nomogram based on age, gender, educational level, smoking, drinking, body mass index, heart rate, diabetes, and dyslipidemia can be used to predict the risk of hypertension among residents aged 18-79 years.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of nutrition combined with exercise intervention on stroke patients with sarcopenia. MethodsFrom January to June, 2022, 60 stroke patients with sarcopenia were randomly divided into control group (n = 15), nutrition group (n = 15), exercise group (n = 15) and combined group (n = 15). All the groups received routine rehabilitation training, while the nutrition group received nutrition intervention, the exercise group received exercise intervention, and the combined group received both the nutrition and exercise intervention, for four weeks. Before and after intervention, the muscle index was measured with bioelectrical impedance analysis, gripping strength of the healthy and the affected side was measured with gripping strength meter, and the patients were assessed with modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). ResultsFour cases in the control group, two in the nutrition group, one in the exercise group, and three in the combined group dropped down. The muscle index, gripping strength, and the scores of MBI and BBS improved in all the groups after intervention (|t| > 3.004, P < 0.05), while all improved more in the combined group than in the other three groups (P < 0.05), and the grip strength of the healthy side was more in the exercise group than in the nutrition group (P < 0.05). ConclusionNutrition or exercise intervention alone can improve the muscle quality, grip strength, activities of daily living and balance of stroke patients with sarcopenia, while the combination is more effective.

Background: and Purpose This study aimed to determine the changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) in patients who received different durations of hemodialysis (HD) using arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: The study included 46 patients who received HD and 24 demographically similar healthy controls (HCs). Patients who received HD were divided into three subgroups based on its duration: HD-1 (n=15, dialysis duration ≤24 months), HD-2 (n=16, dialysis duration >24 and ≤72 months), and HD-3 (n=15, dialysis duration ≥73 months). All subjects completed the Mini Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment tests, and the patients who received HD underwent laboratory tests. Group-level differences in the global and regional CBFs between patients who received HD and HCs were assessed. Correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the associations among CBF, clinical variables, and cognitive function. Results: Compared with HCs, global and regional CBFs were significantly increased in the HD-1 and HD-2 groups (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the HD-3 group (p>0.05). However, compared with the HD-1 group, the HD-3 group had significantly decreased global and regional CBFs (p<0.05). The cognitive function was worse in patients who received long-term HD than in HCs. Increased dialysis duration and hemoglobin level were predictive risk factors for decreased CBF in patients who received long-term HD. Conclusions Patients who received long-term HD with normal CBF had worse cognitive function, which may be related to increased dialysis duration.

Objective To compare 18F-FDG、11C-MET and 11C-CHO PET/CT in rat C6 glioma and inflammation models and observe their correlations with HIF-1α and VEGF expressions.Methods Thirtytwo male Wistar rats were included to bear both C6 glioma and turpentine oil-induced acute inflammation (AI).18F-FDG,11C-MET and 11C-CHO PET/CT were performed on rats.The SUVmax ratios of tumor-tomuscle (T/M),AI-to-muscle (AI/M) and tumor selectivity index (SI) were calculated.One-way analysis of variance and two-sample t test were used for statistical analyses.HIF-1α and VEGF expression was detected by immunohistochemical staining.Spearman correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between T/M ratios and the expressions of HIF-1α or VEGF.Results T/M ratios of 18F-FDG,11 C-MET and 11C-CHO in C6 glioma were 6.89±2.53,2.75±0.87,2.73±1.01,and the AI/M were 4.77±2.21,1.75±0.66,2.23±0.90 respectively.The 18F-FDG and 11C-MET uptake between C6 glioma and AI were significantly different(tFDG =2.133,tMET =3.267,both P＜0.05).The SIMET was significantly higher than SIFDG(t =2.600,P＜0.05).The 11C-CHO uptake between tumor and inflammation showed no significant difference(t=1.537,P＞0.05).T/M ratios of 18F-FDG and 11C-MET were positively related to HIF-1α and VEGF expressions(rs =0.725,0.637,0.621,0.764,all P＜0.05).The T/M ratio of 11C-CHO related only to VEGF (rs =0.682,P＜0.05).Conclusions 18F-FDG and 11 C-MET PET/CT may differentiate C6 glioma from AI,and 11 C-MET PET/CT seems more tumor-selective.11C-CHO PET is less valuable for the differential diagnosis.The 18F-FDG and 11 C-MET uptake of C6 glioma may be related to tumor hypoxia.All the three tracers could reflect tumor angiogenesis,but with different sensitiveness.
