Mental stress has been recognized as an essential risk factor for hypertension. Therefore, experts specializing in cardiology, psychiatry, and Traditional Chinese Medicine organized by the Psycho-Cardiology Group of College of Cardiovascular Physicians of Chinese Medical Doctor Association and Hypertension Group of Chinese Society of Cardiology proposed the expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of adult mental stress-induced hypertension in March 2021, which includes the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the mental stress-induced hypertension. This consensus will hopefully facilitate the clinical practice of this disorder. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the primary global sources of psychosocial stressors since the beginning of 2020, and the revision of this expert consensus in 2022 has increased the relevant content. This consensus consists of Part A and Part B. Part A includes (I) Background and epidemiological characteristics, (II) Pathogenesis, and (III) Diagnosis and Part B includes (IV) Treatment recommendations and (V) Prospects. This part presents the content of Part A.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the primary global sources of psychosocial stressors since the beginning of 2020, and the revision of this expert consensus in 2022 has increased the relevant content. This consensus consists of two parts. The sections of Part A include (I) Background and epidemiological characteristics, (II) Pathogenesis, and (III) Diagnosis. The sections of Part B contain (IV) Treatment recommendations, and (V) Prospects. This article presents Part B of the consensus.

At present, the relationship between hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and coronary heart disease (CHD) is still uncertain. In recent years, many researchers have tried to clarify the relationship between HTG, atherosclerosis, and CHD. This article will review the relationship between HTG and CHD from the aspects of epidemiology, pathogenesis, and cardiovascular benefits of HTG treatment to further understand the relationship between the two. Dyslipidemia is closely related to the occurrence and development of the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) has been recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. Statins can effectively reduce LDL-C and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events. HTG is the most common dyslipidemia in China, and the correlation between HTG and CHD deserves attention. Therefore, as for the progress of HTG and CHD in recent years, we will make a review on the relationship between HTC and CHD, the mechanism of atherosclerosis and the cardiovascular benefits of treatment, so as to further clarify the role and significance of triglyceride in the process of atherosclerosis and provide new ideas for the prevention an d treatment of CHD.

β-decay half-lives around 78Ni and 132Sn are studied with proton-neutron Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation on the basis of Skyrme-Hartree-Fock (SHF) method. We take into account tensor force correlation in calculating the ground and excited states and find it improves the half-life of 132Sn. However, the Q value is still underestimated. We also discuss that half-lives do not strongly depend on type of particle-particle interaction in isospin T = 0 channel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
