Nitroglycerin attenuates vasoconstriction of HBOC-201 during hemorrhagic shock resuscitation.
BACKGROUND Vasoconstriction, an inherent property of Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers (HBOC) potentially due to nitric oxide (NO) scavenging, may increase cardiovascular complications in HBOC resuscitated trauma patients. The purpose of this study was to determine if co-administration of a weak NO donor, intravenous nitroglycerin (NTG), with HBOC-201 during resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock ...
متن کاملExercise induced pulmonary vasoconstriction.
Pulmonary vascular resistance normally falls or remains unchanged during exercise. Seven children with pulmonary hypertension were exercised during cardiac catheterisation after operative correction of ventricular septal defect (6) and truncus arteriosus (1). Except for the presence of moderate pulmonary hypertension, resting haemodynamics in these seven children were similar to those of normal...
متن کاملSystems biology and the biology of systems.
When I sit down to write an editorial for Physiology, I flatter myself that the two or three people who will ultimately read it want to hear my thoughts on a “big” topic. It strikes me that, within the rarefied realm of academic biology, there few bigger topics, or at least few topics more all encompassing in their scope, than Systems Biology. Perhaps it is the ambiguity inherent in its name th...
متن کاملSystems biology reveals biology of systems
In the last decades, genomic and postgenomic technologies obtained a great amount of information on molecular bases of cell physiology and organization. In spite of this, the knowledge of cells and living organisms in their entirety, is far from being achieved. In order to deal with biological complexity, Systems Biology uses a new approach to overcome this inadequacy. Despite different definit...
متن کاملMechanism of endothelin-1-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction.
Endothelins are endothelial cell-derived peptides with potent vasoconstrictor properties. We investigated the actions of porcine/human endothelin-1 (ET-1) on the microvasculature of the guinea pig lung perfused at constant flow with Ringers-albumin. We measured the perfusion pressure, distribution of pulmonary vascular resistance (using the double occlusion method), lung weight change, and the ...
