海勤人员原发性高血压患者血浆皮质醇、睾酮水平与应激能力(英文)

Levels of plasma cortisol and testosterone and stress reaction of essential hypertension in seamen

目的:探讨海勤人员原发性高血压的特征。方法:对海勤人员112例、陆勤人员100例原发性高血压患者血浆皮质醇、睾酮水平和抑郁、焦虑分数进行评定。结果:与陆勤人员比较海勤人员原发性高血压患者血浆皮质醇犤(504.6±214.8)nmol/L犦、睾酮水平犤(46.8±18.8)nmol/L犦和抑郁(59.8±11.2)、焦虑(55.7±10.6)分数均增高(t=4.55-5.65,P均<0.01)。结论:与陆勤人员比较,海勤人员原发性高血压患者血浆皮质醇和睾酮水平升高。

AIM:To explore if stress factors play an important role in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension(EH) in the seamen. METHODS:112 seamen and 100 army patients with EH were randomly selected, whose levels of plasma cortisol and testosterone were examined,and whose scores of depression and anxiety were evaluated. RESULTS:Compared with those in army patients with EH,the levels of plasma cortisol[(504.6±214.8)nmol/L,P< 0.01]and testosterone[(46.8±18.8)nmol/L,P< 0.01], and the scores of depression(59.8±11.2)and anxiety(55.7±10.6)in seaman patients were significantly increased(t=4.55-5.65,P< 0.01). CONCLUSION:As compared with those in the army,the levels of plasma cortisol and testosterone,as well as the scores of depression and anxiety in seaman patients with EH were significantly increased,so stress factors play an important role in the pathophysiology of EH in seamen.
