Abstract
Blood cells trapped in stasis have been reported within the microcirculation, but their relevance to health and disease has not been established. In this study, we introduce an in vivo imaging approach that reveals the presence of a previously-unknown pool of erythrocytes in stasis, located within capillary segments of the CNS, and present in 100% of subjects imaged. These results provide a key insight that blood cells pause as they travel through the choroidal microvasculature, a vascular structure that boasts the highest blood flow of any tissue in the body. Demonstration of clinical utility using deep learning reveals that erythrocyte stasis is altered in glaucoma, indicating the possibility of more widespread changes in choroidal microvascular than previously realized. The ability to monitor the choroidal microvasculature at the single cell level may lead to novel strategies for tracking microvascular health in glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the application value of hard tissue section in the clinicopathology diagnosis. Methods: From March 2021 to December 2021, bone slices of 19 patients (1 patient with osteochondroma, 2 patients with chondrosarcoma, 4 patients with osteosarcoma, 2 patients with fibrous dysplasia, 2 patients with bone metastasis from thyroid papillary carcinoma, 2 patients with osteomyelitis, 4 patients with giant cell tumor of bone, 2 patients with Ewing sarcoma) and 16 hemopathy patients were collected from the Department of Pathology, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital. Of the osteopathy patients, there were 14 male and 5 female with a median age of 31 (10-66) years. Meanwhile, there were 7 male and 9 female with a median age of 28 (16-65) years among these hemopathy patients. Thirty-five cases were treated with modified hard tissue slicing technique and paraffin embedding technique, respectively. The advantages and disadvantages of the two methods for clinical diagnosis of bone disease were compared by Hematoxylin-Eosin staining (H&E staining), immunohistochemical staining (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and Sanger sequencing. Results: The improved resin-embedded method showed better histological morphology and cell structure. Besides, the expression of Ki67, SATB2, CD34, SMA, CD68,MPO,CD4 and CD33 in immunohistochemical staining in bone tissues which were embedded in resin were more clear in the accurate positive localization than those using paraffin-embedded. MDM2 of FISH exhibited a higher fluorescence intensity and more accurate location. Meanwhile, both methods treated with Sanger sequencing met the requirements of DNA purity and mutation detection. Conclusion: The improved hard tissue section method is simple and short time-consuming, which is suitable for optimizing the clinical bone and bone marrow pathological diagnosis process.

Mechanistic study of the solid-liquid extraction of phenolics from walnut pellicle fibers enhanced by ultrasound, microwave and mechanical agitation forces. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 309:136451. [PMID: 36155014 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The molecular diffusion of phenolics inside walnut pellicle fiber particles under solid-liquid extraction enhanced by ultrasound (US), orbital agitation (OA), impeller agitation (IA), and the combined microwave and impeller agitation (MW-IA) were explored. Numerical modeling considering the temperature-dependent diffusivity revealed that the internal diffusivity of phenolics was the highest under MW-IA and the lowest under OA. At 35 °C, IA (126.246 mg/g, t = 10 min) was more effective to strengthen the phenolic diffusivity than the US-39W (95.538 mg/g, t = 10 min). Due to the simultaneous enhancement of internal diffusivity and external dissolution, the MW-IA extraction reached equilibrium within 16 min, reaching the highest yield among all the treatments (176.944 mg/g). The extraction was then divided into the increasing and falling driving force periods. The comparison of phenolic diffusivity among MW-IA and IA roughly indicated that the proportion of non-thermal effect of microwave at 315 W was 889% higher than 189 W at the extraction equilibrium. Moreover, some soluble polyphenols, i.e. quercitrin and syringic acid, could be adsorbed by the cell wall after equilibrium. The correlations between any two soluble phenolics varied with the phenolic type, deducing that soluble phenolics may interact with each other either positively or negatively. Besides, the mining of phenolic data also indicated that intensive impeller agitation is a good substitution for ultrasonication to extract phenolics effectively.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Triclosan, an antimicrobial agent in personal care products, could be absorbed into the human body through the digestive tract. This animal experiment aimed to clarify the effects of triclosan exposure on the microbiome and intestinal immune functions in healthy and ulcerative colitis models.
Methods
Balb/c mice were maintained on an AIN-93G diet containing 80ppm triclosan dissolved in polyethylene as vehicle or vehicle alone for 1 week or 4 weeks. In the end, the mice were sacrificed, blood samples and colon tissues were collected for analysis of inflammation, and fecal samples were collected for 16 S rRNA sequencing of gut microbiota. To establish ulcerative colitis mice model, at the beginning of the 4th week, mice maintained on the diet with or without triclosan were treated with 2% Dextran sulfate sodium(DSS) in drinking water for 1 week. Then mice were sacrificed for analysis of colitis and gut microbiota.
Results
Triclosan exposure to common mice enhanced the levels of p-NF-κb and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and decreased the Occludin in the colon. Triclosan exposure to DSS-induced mice increased the level of inflammatory cytokines, reduced the levels of Occludin, and exacerbated the degree of damage to intestinal mucosa and crypt, infiltration of inflammatory cells and atypia of glandular cells. Low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia appeared. Both in common and DSS-induced mice, triclosan exposure changed the diversity and composition of gut microbiota. Fecal samples showed higher enrichment of sulfate-reducing bacteria and Bacteroides, and less butyrate-producing bacteria.
Conclusion
Triclosan exposure induced disturbance of gut microbiota and exaggerated experimental colitis in mice. And changes in the composition of gut microbiota were characterized by the increase of harmful bacteria, including sulfate-reducing bacteria and Bacteroides, and the reduction of protective probiotics, butyrate-producing bacteria.

Abstract
In this study, an ultrasound-assisted aqueous two-phase (ATP) extraction method was used for the extraction and purification of phenolic compounds from grape pomace. The effect of acoustic energy densities (AED, 41.1, 63.5, 96.1, 111.2 W/L) and temperatures (20, 30, 40°C) on the yield of phenolics was investigated. An artificial neural network (ANN) was successfully used to correlate the extraction parameters with phenolic yield. Then, a diffusion model based on Fick's second law was used to model the mass transfer process during ultrasound-assisted ATP extraction and evaluate the effective diffusion coefficient of phenolics. The results revealed the increase in AED, and the temperature increased the effective diffusivity of phenolics. The HPLC analysis of anthocyanins and flavonols showed that ultrasound significantly increased the extraction yield of anthocyanins compared with the traditional method. High amounts of rutin and myricetin were recovered using the ATPS systems. Sugars were mainly distributed in the bottom phase, whereas phenolics were located in the top phase. Conclusively, ultrasound-assisted aqueous two-phase (ATP) extraction can be used as an effective method to achieve the simultaneous separation and preliminary purification of phenolics from grape pomace.

Abstract
In this study, a strain of Lactobacillus plantarum Y2 was isolated from the ginkgo peel, and showed adequate adaptation to the ginkgo biloba kernel juice. After 48 h of fermentation, the number of viable cells in the stable growth phase was remained at 10.0 Log CFU/mL, while the content of total organic acid increased by 5.86%. Phenolic substances were significantly enriched, and the content of total phenolic substances increased by 9.72%, and the content of total flavonoids after fermentation exceeded 55.33 mg/L, which was 3.6 times that of the unfermented ginkgo juice. The total relative content of volatile flavor compounds increased by 125.48%, and 24 new volatile flavor substances were produced. The content of total sugar, total protein, and total free amino acid decreased to 44.85, 67.51, and 6.88%, respectively. Meanwhile, more than 82.25% of 4'-O-methylpyridoxine was degraded by lactic acid fermentation, and the final concentration in ginkgo biloba kernel juice was lower than 41.53 mg/L. In addition, the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of fermented ginkgo biloba kernel juice were significantly enhanced. These results showed that LAB fermentation could effectively improve the nutritional value and safety of ginkgo biloba kernel juice.

Abstract
The site of Qujialing experienced a long, sustained process of the development of Neolithic culture in the Jianghan Plain, with a period of some1600 years. Our previous studies based on macrofossil remains and phytoliths revealed that rice (Oryza sativa) from Qujialing was already domesticated, and millet (Setaria italica and Panicum miliaceum) had also been spread into the site since the Youziling Culture period (5800-5100 BP). Nevertheless, no direct evidence has been provided regarding the daily consumed plant foods, especially plant foods obtained by gathering, throughout the site occupation. This paper thus examines pottery sherds (n=41) associated with culinary practices from Qujialing with starch grain analysis. Apart from starch grains from rice and millet, the results indicate that job's tears (Coix lacryma-jobi), lotus roots (Nelumbo nucifera), tubers possibly from Chinese yam (Dioscorea panthainca), acorns (Quercus sp.), and beans (Vigna sp. or/and Vicia sp.) were consumed by the ancient Qujialing people, within job's tears and lotus roots were not discovered before in the macrofossil remains and phytoliths. Combining the starch data and multiple lines of evidence from macrofossil remains and phytoliths, it is suggested that rice was among the most frequently consumed plant foods since the first occupation phase at Qujialing, while acorns could have been gradually replaced by other agricultural products (i.e., rice) and became less important food ingredients, especially when agriculture was more developed in the last occupation phase at Qujialing. These novel findings not only complement our previous research by providing the first line of evidence of paleodiet in the Jianghan Plain from the perspective of starch grain analysis but also delivers a better understanding of the characterized dietary trends and agricultural development in the research region.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential-6 (TRPC6) has been reported to be involved in cell damage after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in target organs. While the effect and of TRPC6 on pyroptosis in renal I/R injury remain unclear. In our study, we first established the renal I/R mouse model and oxygen-glucose deprivation and re-oxygenation (OGD/R) cell model, and investigated the impacts of TRPC6 on the pyroptosis-related proteins using CCK-8, western blot, ELISA, and immunofluorescence probes. Besides, we also explored the mechanism of TRPC6 in pyroptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells through A20 knockdown or overexpression and zinc chloride (ZnCl2 ) or a zinc ion chelator (TPEN) treatment. Our results indicated that I/R injury could cause downregulation of TRPC6 both in vivo and in vitro. In the I/R injury murine model, TRPC6 inhibition exacerbated tissue damage and upregulated NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, IL-18, and IL-1β, which could be alleviated by the administration of ZnCl2 . In the OGD/R cell model, inhibitor of TRPC6 (SAR7334) reduced zinc ion influx, aggravated cell death and upregulated pyroptosis-related protein. The pyroptosis phenotype also could be alleviated by ZnCl2 and intensified by TPEN. Overexpression of A20 reduced the expression of pyroptosis-related protein, increased cell viability in the sh-TRPC6 and TPEN-treated OGD/R cell models, while A20 deficiency impaired the protective effect of zinc ion. Therefore, our results indicate that TRPC6 could promote zinc ion influx in renal tubular epithelial cells, thereby upregulating intracellular A20, inhibiting the activation of inflammasome NLRP3, and ultimately attenuating renal I/R injury.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM) patients with t(11;14). Methods: The clinical data of patients newly diagnosed with MM with t(11;14), which confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), from January 1, 2016 to May 31, 2021 in Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine was retrospectively collected. A total of 45 patients were included. Bortezomib based induction therapy were given to 88.9% (40/45) patients, while 11.1% (5/45) received Imids-based therapy. Fourteen patients underwent the autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). The clinical characteristics, overall response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and risk factors affecting survival were analyzed. Results: The average age of patients were (58.8±9.6) years, and 62.2%(28/45)were male. A relatively high incidence of bone lesion 82.2%(37/45)was observed. After 4 cycles induction therapy, the ORR was 66.7% (30/45), and ≥very good partial response (VGPR) was 31.3% (14/45). The rate of ≥VGPR increased to 92.9% (13/14) after AHSCT. The follow-up time [M(Q1,Q3)] was 27(20,42)months. The PFS was 34 (95%CI: 23-45) months, the median OS was 44 (95%CI:33-51) months. Median PFS were 48 (only 3 cases of progressive disease, CI not available) months and 24 (95%CI:13-35) months in the transplantation group and non-transplant group respectively (P=0.115). Median OS were 60 (only 1 case of death, CI not available) months and 48 (95%CI:22-74) months in the transplantation group and non-transplantation group, respectively (P=0.238). Cox regression analysis indicated that the number of plasma cell ≥50% in bone marrow and CD20 expression on myeloma cells were the risk factors for PFS[OR=3.272,95%CI:1.167-9.170,P=0.024;OR=3.480,95%CI:1.082-11.234,P=0.036]. No significant effective factor on OS was found. Conclusions: For multiple myeloma patient with t(11;14), the response rate with novel agents induction therapy is not high, but autologous stem cell transplantation can deepen remission. The high burden of bone marrow plasma cells and the expression of CD20 may be associated with the poor prognosis.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the roles of starch structure in α-amylase-catalyzed hydrolysis under moderate electric field (MEF). Corn starch was gelatinized by controlling the temperature procedure of rapid viscos-analysis, and then the pre-gelatinized starch (3.0 g) was treated by MEF (2.5 and 5 V/cm) in the presence of α-amylase (1.5 mL). Only a slight hydrolysis occurred for native starch, showing minor increases in reducing sugar content (RSC, ∼0.19 mg/mL), slight changes in granular and semicrystalline structure, and decreases in thermostability (the maximum decomposition temperature (Tmax) decreased from 322 to 300 °C). The densely-packed semicrystalline within starch granules was destroyed by pre-gelatinization, thus enhancing the hydrolysis and further decreasing the thermostability, presenting RSC values of 0.63-0.92 mg/mL and Tmax of 291-292 °C. Moreover, some special crystals were formed by IEF-induced orientation of hydrolyzed starch chains. Overall, these results confirmed that the semicrystalline structure of starch dominated in MEF-assisted hydrolysis, which could provide guidance for the application of electro-based techniques in starch modification.

Abstract
Finding promising purple tea germplasm that would target new tea products for diversification and value addition boost the tea industry’s economic growth. Accordingly, 10 tea germplasm viz. TRA St. 817, TRA St. 293, TRA St. 400, TRA 177/3, TRA 376/2, TRA 376/3, TRA 427/7, TRA P7, TRA P8, and TV1 were evaluated in terms of gas exchange parameters, multiplication performance, and biochemical markers such as chlorophyll, carotenoids, and anthocyanin content, which are related to the purple tea quality. The investigated gas exchange and biochemical parameters revealed significant differences. Germplasm TRA St.817 was physiologically more efficient (24.7 μmol m–2 s–1), followed by TRA St. 293, exhibiting the highest net photosynthesis, water use efficiency (19.02 μmol mmol–1), carboxylation efficiency (0.73), chlorophyll fluorescence or photochemical efficiency of PSII (0.754) and mesophyll efficiency (ci/gs ratio: 2.54). Net photosynthesis was positively correlated with water use efficiency, carboxylation efficiency, mesophyll efficiency, and photochemical efficiency of PSII (r = 0.965**, 0.937**, 0.857**, 0.867**; P = 0.05), respectively, but negatively correlated with the transpiration ratio (r = −0.878**; P = 0.05) based on Pearson correlation analysis. The total anthocyanin content (4764.19 μg.g–1 fresh leaf weight) and carotenoid content (3.825 mg.g–1 fresh leaf weight) were highest in the TRA St.817 germplasm, followed by germplasm TRA St. 293 (2926.18 μg.g–1 FW). In contrast, total chlorophyll content was significantly low (1.779 mg.g–1 fresh weight), which is very suitable for manufacturing purple tea. The highest carotenoid concentration in TRA St. 817 was 3.825 mg.g–1 FW, followed by TRA P8 (3.475 mg.g–1 FW), favoring the formation of more volatile flavor constituents. The promising germplasm, TRA St 817, has a multiplication success rate of 91.4% through cleft grafting. The outcome reveals that TRA St.817 is a promising germplasm that can be used to make speciality teas, i.e., purple tea.

Individualized total laparoscopic surgery based on 3D remodeling for portal hypertension: A single surgical team experience. Front Surg 2022; 9:905385. [PMID: 36034363 PMCID: PMC9399457 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.905385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and aims Portal hypertension (PHT) is common in end-stage cirrhosis, and variceal bleeding is the main complication associated with mortality. Surgery is usually performed in patients with PHT with a high risk of variceal bleeding in China. This study aimed to introduce an individualized and precise total laparoscopic surgical procedure based on 3D remodeling for PHT. Methods From March 2013 to December 2018, 146 patients with cirrhotic PHT underwent a laparoscopic surgical procedure in our department. An individualized 3D remodeling evaluation was carried out for surgical planning. Results The operation time was 319.96 ± 91.53 min. Eight of 146 patients were converted to open surgery. Acute portal vein system thrombosis occurred in 10 patients (6.85%). During the first year, 11 patients (8.15%) experienced rebleeding and two (1.48%) died. 18 patients (13.33%) experienced rebleeding and three died, giving a 3-year mortality rate of 3.66%. Compared with preoperatively, the portal vein showed significant postoperative decreases in diameter, flow velocity, and flow amount, while the hepatic artery showed significant postoperative increases in diameter, flow velocity, and flow amount. A 3D liver volume evaluation found that 19 of 21 patients had a significantly increased liver volume postoperatively, and a significantly decreased MELD score. Conclusion This retrospective study introduced a safe, feasible, and effective individualized surgical procedure. Our results show that this surgical treatment may not only act as an effective symptomatic treatment for PHT to prevent esophageal and gastric hemorrhage, but also as an etiological treatment to increase liver function and long-term survival.

Front Nutr 2022; 9:957487. [PMID: 35990346 PMCID: PMC9386184 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.957487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Mung bean proteins (MBPs) are highly nutritious food ingredients, but their lack of gluten limits their use in staple foods such as noodles. In this study, MBPs were modified by hydrothermal treatment, and their gel properties and the major structural changes were analyzed at different heating temperatures (25, 65, 75, 85, 95, and 105°C), moisture contents (0, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35%), and hydrothermal treatment times (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 min). Thereafter, the modified MBPs (MMBPs) were added to wheat noodles at substitution levels of 3, 6, and 9% to evaluate their effect on the quality of the noodles. The results showed that the hydrothermal treatment significantly improved the gel properties and water absorption capacity of the MBPs and slightly increased their disulfide bond content. When MBPs with a 25% moisture content were heated at 85°C for 60 min, their gel properties notably improved, and their structural changes were maximal. The structural changes revealed that the MBP molecule formed a macromolecular polymer because a significant protein band appeared at about 66.2 kDa. Secondary structure and microstructure analyses revealed that the MBP structure was significantly damaged and that the β-sheet structure increased because of changes in the degree of aggregation between the protein molecules. Compared to the untreated MBPs, the MMBPs significantly improved the cooking quality and texture properties of the noodles, and the addition amount reached more than 6%, whereas that of the untreated MBPs was less than 3%. At this time, the cooking loss and the broken rate of the untreated MBPs group were about 2 times higher than that of the 6% MMBP-treated group. An analysis of changes in the water distribution, rheological properties, and microstructure revealed that intermolecular cross-linking occurred between the MMBPs and wheat dough, which improved the quality of the MMBP-treated noodles. The findings demonstrated that the MMBPs obtained by hydrothermal treatment had a positive effect on the wheat dough properties and noodle quality. These results provide a technical foundation for incorporating novel protein supplements into staple foods.

Ultrasound enhanced butyric acid-lauric acid designer lipid synthesis: Based on artificial neural network and changes in enzymatic structure. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2022; 88:106100. [PMID: 35908344 PMCID: PMC9340510 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.106100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2022] [Revised: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Ultrasound is a green technology for intensifying enzymatic reactions. In this study, an ultrasonic water bath with equipment parameters of 28 kHz, 1750.1 W/m2, 60% duty cycle was used to assist the synthesis of butyric acid-lauric acid designer lipid (BLDL), which was catalyzed by Lipozyme 435. A convincing three-layer feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) model was established (R2 = 0.949, RMSE = 4.759, ADD = 7.329) to accurately predict the optimal parameters combination, which was described as 13.72 mL reaction volume, 15.49% enzyme loading, 0.253 substrate molar ratio (tributyrin/lauric acid), 56.58 °C reaction temperature and 120 min reaction time. The ultrasonic assistance increased actual butyric acid conversion rate by 11.38%, and also enhanced the consumption rate of tributyrin and lauric acid during the reaction. Meanwhile, the esterification activity of Lipozyme 435 was enhanced and its effectiveness up to 6 cycles. Structurally, ultrasound assistance significantly disrupted the secondary structure of the Lipozyme 435: reduced the content of α-helices, increased the content of β-sheet and β-turn. In addition, sonication caused an increase in crevice and micro-damage on the surface of the immobilized enzyme. In conclusion, low-intensity ultrasound at 28 kHz improved the synthesis efficiency of BLDL, which was scientifically predicted by ANN model, and the change of enzyme structure may be the vital reason for ultrasound enhanced reaction. However, the effect of ultrasound on immobilized enzymes' activity needs to be further explored.

Abstract
The study aimed to explore the stimulating effect of static magnetic field (SMF) treatment on germinated brown rice (GBR) by monitoring changes in α-amylase activity and structural and functional properties of starch. Brown rice was exposed to SMF (10 mT, 60 min, 25 °C) and then germinated for 0 h -72 h at 30 °C. Compared with the control, SMF treatment improved α-amylase activity (15.2%), leading to the hydrolysis of starch into reducing sugar (8.2%) and increasing the germination rate (9.7% -158.8%), shoot length (9.1% -87.3%), root length (19.2% -110.0%), and fresh weight (0.9% -16.5%). In view of the properties of starch, SMF treatment also altered the surface microstructure, induced partial losses of birefringence, exerted no significant effect on the crystalline type, slightly increased the gelatinization temperatures, and significantly decreased the peak viscosity. This study suggested that SMF could serve as a prospective technique for GBR products processing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lifestyle interventions have been recognized as a line of treatment for noncommunicable diseases. This study aimed to evaluate a bespoke mHealth approach to deliver personalized feedback to improve blood pressure and weight for hypertensive patients in community settings. METHODS A total of 307 participants, 50 from each community, were expected to be in the intervention or control group. A professional health facilitator was assigned for each of the 6 communities. The primary outcomes of the study are the reduction in blood pressure and weight at baseline and postintervention. RESULTS Of 307 recruited, 192 participants (62.5%) completed the study (intervention: 104 and control: 88). There was no difference in attrition rates between the 2 groups (33.5% vs 41.9%, P = .291). After 6 month of intensive feedback intervention through the mHealth approach, patients had better blood pressure (133.4 ± 15.3 vs 139.7 ± 16.0) compared with control. CONCLUSIONS People who were adherent to the intervention demonstrated a clinical benefit in weight and blood pressure.
