NT-ProBNP is a high value cardiac biomarker and widely applies in many cardiovascular diseases. The evaluation of concentration of NT-ProBNP needs the concern about age, gender, obesity and especially we need each cut-off point for each cause of cardiovascular disease in evaluation and clinical application. Because NT-ProBNP is a new cardiac marker and has been researched in 5 recent years, the cut-off of NT-ProBNP is still being studied for the clinical application in cardiovascular diseases. Only the cut-off of NT-ProBNP in diagnosis heart failure was guided by European Society of Cardiology. The meaning of introduce cut-off value of value plays an role as pilot study for the other relate study and brings the NT-ProBNP closely approach to clinical application.

In a nutshellVitamin D does appear to be an important factor in CVD, including hypertension, but clinical application (apart from renal hypertension) is unproven.Even so, vitamin D is so important to good health, and inadequate status so common, that clinicians should always bear it in mind, particularly in those with less sun exposure.

The paper deals with the issues related to noise as an environmental stressor by considering its influences on the human psychophysiological functioning, the psychos ocial impacts and the psychological symptoms. In the first part of the paper, some basic concepts and definitions of stress and impact of stressors are given, while in the second part of the paper the basic mechanisms of psychophysiological response to stress and the studies dealing with noise as one of the most common environmental stressors are presented. The paper shows that the noise seriously affects the nervous system, both central and vegetative, which further influences the heart, blood vessels, blood pressure, digestive tract and many other organs and tissues, where many changes and functional disturbances including harassment, sleep disorders, cardiovascular disease and cognitive performance deficit are caused. Noise exposure is associated with psychological symptoms, but not with the clinically defined psychiatric disorder. Key words: stress, noise, environmental stressor, reactions .
