In our paper 1, the first sentence of the result should be corrected as “A total of 67 cases of HTN and 62 cases of normal BP were included in this study”, and Table 1 should be corrected as follows.

The data on age, SBP, DBP, BMI, WHR, GLU, CHO, HDL, LDL, TG, BUN, UA, and HCY are expressed as the mean ± SD. P-values for gender, age, SBP, DBP, BMI, WHR, GLU, CHO, HDL, LDL, TG, BUN, UA, and HCY were calculated using Student's t-test. *P < 0.05. SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, BMI: body mass index, WHR: waist-to-hip ratio; GLU: glucosuria; HDL: high density lipoprotein; LDL: low density lipoprotein; TG: total triglyceride, CHO: total cholesterol; BUN blood urea nitrogen; UA: uric acid; HCY: homocysteine. *P < 0.05.
