“…The ARR was calculated as serum aldosterone-to-plasma renin activity ratio (pg/ml per ng/ml h). Measured values of plasma renin activity below the limit of quantification (LOQ) of the assay (\0.2 ng/ml/h) were set at 0.7 9 LOQ [16]. The Aldo2/ Aldo-1 ratio was calculated from the aldosterone levels (pg/ml) obtained from the two blood drawings during the RPT.…”

The aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) is an accepted screening tool for primary hyperaldosteronism (PA). An ambulatory case finding test to separate surgically remediable aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) from other forms of PA, however, is currently not available. The aim of this study was to evaluate a reverse postural test (RPT) as a novel tool for identifying APA. We investigated 6 healthy controls, 19 primary hypertensive patients, and a prospective cohort of 32 patients clinically suspicious for primary hyperaldosteronism. We diagnosed seven patients with surgically proven APA, and three patients with idiopathic hyperaldosteronism. Serum aldosterone was measured after 30-min of moderate exercise (Aldo-1) and after a subsequent 2-h supine resting period (Aldo-2) with calculation of the ratio Aldo-2/Aldo-1. Aldosterone significantly decreased after supine resting in both healthy controls and primary hypertensives, but not in patients with APA. Receiver-operating-curve analysis revealed that the RPT was suitable for the screening of APA. A combination of the ratio Aldo-2/Aldo-1 >0.59 and Aldo-2 >160 pg/ml correctly identified all the patients with APA, with no false positives. Although the high sensitivity of the RPT here observed needs to be confirmed in larger studies, the high positive predictive value of RPT could be useful for the identification of APA in outpatients.

Contact details"Miao Xuegang, Director of the Anhui Provincial Environmental Protection Authority, said foreigners were being 'hypocritical' when criticizing China's pollution problems. China is a big exporter and many foreigners have been benefiting from China's green products.However, the pollution incurred during the production process is left in China."People's Daily Online ( 2013) "Taking SO 2 (a key precursor of secondary PM 2.5 ) as an example,[. . . ][t]he most developed regions of the world, such as the USA, western Europe and the 'rest of east Asia' region, are importers of net embodied emissions: they tend to import goods and services from China and less-developed neighbouring areas, thereby causing pollution in those regions."
