Abstract:
This study was to investigate prevalence of depression among migrant hypertensive patients in primary care and to examine hypertensive patients' social capital and its relationship with the prevalence of depression. An on-site-based cross-sectional study was performed in Shenzhen, China. A total of 830 migrant hypertensive patients completed the survey by using systematic sampling design. A questionnaire including information of depressive symptoms and social capital was administered by face-to-face interview surveys. We found that the prevalence of depression was 11.0% among migrant hypertensive patients in primary care. Social ties (odds ratio = 1.197, 95% confidence interval: 1.034, 1.387) and trust (odds ratio = 2.061, 95% confidence interval: 1.342, 3.165) were statistically significant associated with the prevalence of depression. Our study shows that the prevalence of depression is high among migrant hypertensive patients in primary care. It also suggests an inverse association between social capital and depression among migrant hypertensive patients. Although causal pathways between social capital and depression cannot be established by the present study, it is plausible to design and implement social interventions to improve mental health of migrant hypertensive patients in primary care.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
