The aim of this study was to analyse high blood pressure detection, management, control and associated factors among residents accessing community health services (CHSs) in Beijing. We screened for HBP in 9524 individuals aged 50 years or older who accessed care in four Beijing CHSs. Among the 9397 residents with questionnaire responses that qualified them for inclusion in the study, 5029 patie...

Abstract Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has long been used to produce seedless fruits in perennial woody crops like citrus. A male-sterile somatic cybrid citrus (G1 + HBP) was generated by protoplast fusion between a CMS callus parent ‘Guoqing No. 1’ Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu, G1) and fertile mesophyll Hirado Buntan pummelo grandis, HBP). To uncover the mechanism of G1 HBP, we compared ...

Background: Hypertension (HBP) is usually accompanied by hypertriglyceridemia that represents the increased triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and cholesterol content in remnant [i.e., (RC)]. According to European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS), high RC (HRC) defined as fasting ?0.8 mmol/L and/or postprandial ?0.9 mmol/L. However, little known about change level after a daily meal Chinese patients w...

OBJECTIVE Hypertension guidelines propose home (HBP) or ambulatory (ABP) blood pressure monitoring as indispensable after office measurement (OBP). However, whether preference should be given to HBP or ABP remains undetermined. DESIGN AND METHOD We recruited 831 consecutive patients (mean age, 50.6 years; 49.8% women) referred for ABP monitoring to our clinic, if they had never taken (∼90%) o...

Objective: This study aimed to systematically review the gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI) findings of hepatocellular adenoma (HCA), especially focusing on the diagnostic value of low signal intensity (SI) in the hepatocyte-phase (HBP) for differentiating HCA from focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH). Methods: A thorough literature search was conducted in PubMed, E...

MCM-41 mesoporous silica is synthesized based on a self assembly method, using a quaternary ammonium template, CTAB for the adsorption of sulfur compounds from model oil (1.0 mmol/l DBT in dodecane solution). Then the adsorption capability of MCM-41 assembled on the surface of bacterium Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8 is examined regarding the improvement of the biodesulfurization process of...

OBJECTIVES This paper examines the ethnic and gender differentials in high blood pressure (HBP), diabetes, coronary heart disease (CHD), arthritis and asthma among older people in Malaysia, and how these diseases along with other factors affect self-rated health. Differentials in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases among older people are examined in the context of socio-cultural perspec...

AIM To optimize the hepatobiliary phase delay time (HBP-DT) of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (GED-MRI) for more efficient identification of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurring in different degrees of cirrhosis assessed by Child-Pugh (CP) score. METHODS The liver parenchyma signal intensity (LPSI), the liver parenchyma (LP)/HCC signal ratios, and the visibility of HCC at...

BACKGROUND High blood pressure (HBP) is an increasing public health issue for developing countries. HBP is an important contributing factor to many non-communicable diseases that were until very recently thought to be rare in developing countries. There is not enough evidence on its burden and risk factors in Africa. We report in this study on the prevalence and factors associated with HBP in t...
