Objective:To explore the intervention effects of an Internet-based blood pressure monitoring and management platform in a prehypertensive population.Methods:One hundred and fifty-eight prehypertensive patients who were examined at the Third Xiangya Hospital in Changsha, China, from August to December 2019 were randomly divided into either the experimental or control groups using the random number table method. The experimental group utilized an Internet-based blood pressure monitoring and management platform, whereas the control group utilized regular telephone and SMS health management routines. The intervention duration was 12 months for both groups. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-tests, chi-square tests, χ 2 tests, and rank-sum tests. Results:Post intervention systolic blood pressure (124.79±9.71 mmHg) (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and diastolic blood pressure measurements (77.41±8.21 mmHg) of the participants in the experimental group were significantly lower than those before the intervention (128.29±5.10 mmHg and 79.99±6.01 mmHg, respectively), and significantly lower than those of the control group′s measurements after the intervention (130.00±7.78 mmHg and 80.33±7.90 mmHg, respectively) (all P<0.05). The blood pressure goal attainment rate was significantly higher in the experimental group (23.08%) than that of the control group (8.75%), with statistically significant differences within the experimental group before and after intervention, as well as between the groups post intervention ( P<0.05). Positive lifestyle changes, such as prehypertension knowledge score, active restriction and control of salt and oil intake, reduction of smoking, and exercising weekly, were significantly higher than those in the control group before the intervention (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The use of an Internet-based blood pressure monitoring and management platform can effectively help patients with prehypertension control their blood pressure levels, improve their knowledge about the condition, and improve their lifestyle choices.

MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are trans-acting small regulatory RNAs that work coordinately with transcription factors(TFs)to shape the repertoire of cellular mRNAs available for translation.Despite our growing knowledge of individual plant miRNAs,their global roles in gene regulatory networks remain mostly unassessed.Based on interactions obtained from public databases and curated from the literature,we reconstructed an integrated miRNA network in Arabidopsis that includes 66 core TFs,318 miRNAs,and 1712 downstream genes.We found that miRNAs occupy distinct niches and enrich miRNA-containing feed-forward loops(FFLs),particularly those with miRNAs as intermediate nodes.Further analyses revealed that miRNA-containing FFLs coordi-nate TFs located in different hierarchical layers and that intertwined miRNA-containing FFLs are associated with party and date miRNA hubs.Using the date hub MIR858A as an example,we performed detailed molecular and genetic analyses of three interconnected miRNA-containing FFLs.These analyses revealed individual functions of the selected miRNA-containing FFLs and elucidated how the date hub miRNA fulfills multiple regulatory roles.Collectively,our findings highlight the prevalence and importance of miRNA-containing FFLs,and provide new insights into the design principles and control logics of miRNA regulatory networks governing gene expression programs in plants.
