SummaryRadioisotope renograms were obtained in the upright and prone position in 9 normal subjects, in 5 patients with untreated essential hypertension and in 21 hypertensives under treatment, showing moderate postural hypotension.No significant renographic change were seen in the two positions in normal subjects and untreated hypertensives. Treated hypertensives with postural hypotension showed significant impairment of renal function in the upright position in 15 cases and no change in 6. Renal creatinine clearance was lower in the group that showed renographic changes. Renography in the upright position is suggested as a convenient test for early diagnosis and follow-up of the adverse effects of antihypertensive treatment.

Objective: Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP) is both involved in the Kallikrein-Kinin system (KKS) and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This study aimed to determine the genetic impact of PRCP gene polymorphisms on essential hypertension (EH) in an isolated population from a remote region of China. Methods: A haplotype-based study was investigated in 346 EH patients and 346 normal subjects and all samples were Hani minority residents in Southwest China. A total of 11 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PRCP gene were tested by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Results: Single site analysis found that PRCP gene 3′UTR SNP rs3750931 was associated with EH. The minor allele G of rs3750931 was more prevalent in the EH patients compared to control subjects after Bonferroni correction ( p < 0.05). Moreover, the rs3750931 G allele carriers showed higher average blood pressure (BP) level among the subjects. The H2 (GAGCACTAACA) haplotype without rs3750931 G allele showed the protective effect for EH (OR = 0.68, 95 CI 0.54–0.85, p = 0.001). Conclusion: The present study indicated PRCP gene rs3750931 was associated with the risk of EH. This SNP G allele could be considered as one of risk markers for EH in Hani population.

A study of the secretion rate of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in normal subjects and patients with benign essential hypertension by a double isotope dilution method showed a fivefold increase in the secretion rate of dehydroepiandrosterone (from 9.8 mg/day ± 3.1 mg/day S.D. to 52.0 mg/day ± 15.5 mg/day S.D.), and a sixfold increase of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in hypertensive patients (from 10.7 mg/day ± 2.9 mg/day S.D. to 60.7 mg/day ± 18.6 mg/day S.D.). This study was carried out following the administration of 14C-labelled DHEA and 3H-labelled DHEA-S and involved an initial column chromatographic separation of urinary DHEA-glucuronide and sulfate.
