The possible role of arachidonic acid metabolites in the regulation of arterial blood pressure was investigated in rats receiving 0, 5, or 9 energy (en) % linoleic acid in their diet (groups 1-3) over 6 wk. In group 1 animals, systolic arterial blood pressure significantly increased from 100.5 +/- 2.0 to 110.6 +/- 3.1 mmHg (P less than 0.01) after 6 wk of dietary linoleic acid deprivation, whereas no effect on blood pressure was observed in group 2 and 3 animals receiving dietary linoleic acid supplements. Generation of prostacyclin (PGI2)-like activity by isolated aorta from rats fed the different diets was determined using a platelet-aggregation bioassay following incubation of aortic tissue for 12, 15, and 30 min, respectively. In isolated aorta from rats fed the 5 en% linoleic acid, production of PGI2 was 55.9 +/- 1.2, 70.5 +/- 2.6, and 90.9 +/- 3.6 pmol/mg over the three incubation periods. In group 1 animals, a significant suppression of PGI2 generation to 35.4 +/- 1.5, 41.1 +/- 1.7, and 55.0 +/- 1.2 pmol/mg (P less than 0.005) was observed, whereas PGI2 production was unaltered in aortic tissue from group 3 animals. In contrast, plasma concentrations of circulating thromboxane B2 were highest in group 1 animals (2.15 +/- 0.38 pmol/ml) and measured 1.28 +/- 0.17 and 0.83 +/- 0.10 pmol/ml in group 2 and 3 animals, respectively. Our results demonstrate that dietary deprivation of the arachidonic acid precursor linoleic acid increases arterial blood pressure that is associated with a suppression of vascular PGI2 synthesis and, most likely, a secondary rise in circulating thromboxane concentrations.

Background: Arterial blood pressure is one of the most commonly variables monitored during anesthetic procedures in veterinary patients. The most reliable method for measuring arterial blood pressure in dogs and cats is the direct (invasive) method. However, the oscillometric method is less complex and more practical for clinical routine in small animals. Nevertheless, oscillometric monitors present great variability in accuracy. The present study aimed to determine the accuracy of the Delta Life DL 1000 oscillometric monitor for measurement of systolic, mean and diastolic blood pressures (SAP, MAP and DAP, respectively) in anesthetized dogs of different weight ranges.Materials, Methods & Results: This study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of Animal Use. Fifteen female dogs of different breeds, weighing 11.6 ± 10.0 kg and with a mean age of 48 ± 51 months were used. All animals were scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia in the Institution Veterinary Hospital. Dogs were anesthetized with morphine, propofol and isoflurane and had one 20 or 22 gauge catheter introduced into the dorsal pedal artery for continuous, invasive monitoring of SAP, MAP and DAP. A blood pressure cuff was positioned over the middle third of the radius and connected to Delta Life DL 1000 monitor. Oscillometric readings of SAP, MAP and DAP were registered every 5 minutes, and invasive values were simultaneously recorded. Values obtained with both methods were compared (invasive versus oscillometric) by use of the Bland Altman method to determine the bias, standard deviation of bias and 95% limits of agreement. The percentages of errors between the methods within 10 mmHg and within 20 mmHg were calculated. The results obtained were compared with the criteria from the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) for validation of indirect methods of arterial blood pressure measurement. Data were stratified into two groups according to the weight: < 10 kg (Group 1; n = 9); and ≥ 10 kg (Group 2; n = 6). In Group 1, 119 paired measurements were obtained, four of which classified as hypotension (SAP < 90 mmHg), 98 as normotension (SAP from 90 to 140mmHg) and 17 as hypertension (SAP > 140 mmHg). Bias (± SD) values in Group 1 were as follows: SAP, 5.2 ± 18.1 mmHg; MAP, -3.4 ± 17.2 mmHg; and DAP, 12.0 ± 17.5 mmHg. The percentages of errors within 10 mmHg were 40.3% for SAP; 45.4% for MAP and 28.6% for DAP. The percentages of errors within 20 mmHg were 72.3% for SAP, 84.0% for MAP and 68.1% for DAP. In Group 2, 66 paired measurements were obtained, nine of which classified as hypotension, 56 as normotension and one as hypertension. Bias (± SD) in Group 2 were as follows: SAP, 13.6 ± 14.3 mmHg; MAP, -1.1 ± 13.5 mmHg; and DAP, 8.2 ± 16.0 mmHg. The percentages of errors within 10 mmHg were 33.3% for SAP, 77.3% for MAP and 33.3% for DAP. The percentages of errors within 20 mmHg were 65.1% for SAP, 92.4% for MAP and 83.4% for DAP.Discussion: Based on the results of this study and reference criteria from the ACVIM, the Delta Life DL 1000 monitor had a poor accuracy for SAP, MAP and DAP and did not meet the criteria from the ACVIM in anesthetized dogs under 10 kg. Measurements of MAP in dogs ≥ 10 kg met the ACVIM criteria, but measurements of SAP and DAP did not. Based on the findings in this study, the DL 1000 oscillometric monitor is not recommended for blood pressure measurement in anesthetized dogs < 10 kg. In dogs ≥ 10 kg, measurements of MAP yielded acceptable values, but SAP and DAP measurements did not.

Prostaglandin concentrations are elevated in intestinal lymph during brief abdominal visceral ischemia, and exogenously applied prostaglandins can directly stimulate or sensitize ischemically sensitive visceral sympathetic nerve fibers. However, it is not known if prostaglandin production during abdominal ischemia is sufficient to contribute to the reflex cardiovascular response (e.g., hypertension). Accordingly, in anesthetized cats, the femoral artery was cannulated for measurement of arterial blood pressure, and the superior mesenteric and celiac arteries were isolated and fitted with snare occluders. After dual occlusion of these arteries (≤20 min), the cyclooxygenase inhibitors indomethacin (10–20 mg/kg iv, n = 5, group 1) or acetylsalicylic acid [50 mg/kg iv ( n = 6) and ia ( n = 2); group 2] were administered and ischemia was repeated. In group 1, indomethacin lowered the reflex arterial blood pressure increment by 39% from 31 ± 7 to 19 ± 5 mmHg ( P > 0.05). In group 2, acetylsalicylic acid significantly ( P < 0.05) reduced the reflex rise in blood pressure by 46% (28 ± 3 to 15 ± 4 mmHg). A second, more invasive preparation ( group 3) was utilized to 1) minimize the confounding, transient, nonreflex rise in blood pressure associated with arterial ligation, and 2) further assess the inhibitory effect of indomethacin. In group 3, the ischemia-induced blood pressure rise of 28 ± 6 mmHg was reduced by 43% to 16 ± 4 mmHg after indomethacin ( n = 4, P < 0.05). Thus blockade of the cyclooxygenase pathway by two structurally dissimilar inhibitors attenuated the visceral-cardiovascular reflex response to brief ischemia, suggesting that prostaglandins released during visceral ischemia contribute significantly to the activation of the reflex cardiovascular response.

Abstract Background Aim of this study is to investigate a possible association of hypoglycemic episodes and arterial hypertension. We hypothesize that hospitalized insulin-treated diabetes patients with hypertensive crisis have more hypoglycemic episodes than their counterparts without hypertensive crisis on admission. Methods In a prospective, observational cohort study, 65 insulin-treated diabetes patients (type 1, type 2, type 3c) were included in Group 1, when a hypertensive crisis was present, as control patients in Group 2 without hypertensive crisis or hypoglycemia, in Group 3, when a symptomatic hypoglycemia was present on admission. All patients were subjected to open-label continuous glucose monitoring, 24-h blood-pressure- and Holter electrocardiogram recordings, and to laboratory tests including plasma catecholamines. Results 53 patients, thereof 19 Group-1, 19 Group-2, 15 Group-3 patients, completed this study. Group-1 patients had the highest maximum systolic blood pressure, a higher daily cumulative insulin dose at admission, a higher body-mass index, and a higher plasma norepinephrine than control patients of Group 2. Group-3 patients had more documented hypoglycemic episodes (0.8 ± 0.5 per 24 h) than Group-2 patients (0.2 ± 0.3 per 24 h), however, they were not different to the ones in Group-1 patients (0.4 ± 0.4 per 24 h). Plasma norepinephrine and mean arterial blood pressure were higher Group-1 and Group-3 patients than in control patients of Group 2. At discharge, the daily cumulative insulin dose was reduced in Group-1 (− 18.4 ± 24.9 units) and in Group-3 patients (− 18.6 ± 22.7 units), but remained unchanged in Group-2 control patients (− 2.9 ± 15.6 units). Conclusions An association between hypoglycemic events and uncontrolled hypertension was found in this study.

This study was designed to investigate the possible role of angiotensin and vasopressin in the maintenance of arterial blood pressure during acute blockade of the autonomic nervous system. Two groups of eight dogs each were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium, and autonomic ganglia were blocked with hexamethonium (20 mg/kg). Thirty minutes later group 1 received the vasopressin antagonist 1-(beta-mercapto-beta, beta-cyclopentamethylene propionic acid),2-(O-methyl)tyrosine arginine vasopressin (10 micrograms/kg) followed after a 30-min interval by captopril (1 mg/kg). Group 2 received the same drugs, except the order of administration of vasopressin antagonist and captopril was reversed. Vasopressin antagonist during ganglionic blockade (group 2) produced a greater fall in blood pressure than did captopril during ganglionic blockade (group 1). These data indicate that vasopressin plays a greater pressor role than angiotensin in the acute response to ganglionic blockade. Additional studies were performed to determine if the autonomic nervous system alone can support the resting blood pressure in the anesthetized dog. Combined blockade of angiotensin and vasopressin without autonomic blockade produced a significant decrease in blood pressure, suggesting that the autonomic nervous system alone is not able to support the control blood pressure in the anesthetized dog.

Background A critical point during craniotomy is opening of dura, where a high intracranial pressure (ICP) results in swelling of cerebral tissue. Controlled studies concerning ICP, degree of dural tension, and degree of cerebral swelling are therefore warranted. Methods In an open-label study, 117 patients with supratentorial cerebral tumors were randomized to propofol-fentanyl (group 1), isoflurane-fentanyl (group 2), or sevoflurane-fentanyl anesthesia (group 3). Normo- to moderate hypocapnia was applied, with a target level of arterial carbon dioxid tension of 30-40 mmHg. Mean arterial blood pressure was stabilized with intravenous ephedrine (2.5-5 mg) if necessary. Subdural ICP, mean arterial blood pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), arteriovenous oxygen difference (AVDo2), internal jugular vein oxygen saturation were monitored before and after a 10-min period of hyperventilation, and the carbon dioxide reactivity was calculated. Furthermore, the tension of dura before and during hyperventilation and the degree of cerebral swelling during hyperventilation and after opening of the dura were estimated by the neurosurgeon. Results No differences were found between groups with regard to demographics, neuroradiologic examination, positioning of the head, and time to ICP measurement. Before and during hyperventilation, ICP was significantly lower and mean arterial blood pressure and CPP significantly higher in group 1 compared with groups 2 and 3 (P &lt; 0.05). The tension of dura before and during hyperventilation was significantly lower in group 1 compared with group2 (P &lt; 0.05), but not significantly different from group 3. In group 1, cerebral swelling after opening of dura was significantly lower compared with groups 2 and 3 (P &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, AVDo was significantly higher and jugular vein oxygen saturation and carbon dioxide reactivity were significantly lower in group 1 compared with groups 2 and 3 (P &lt; 0.05). No significant differences with regard to ICP, CPP, AVDo, carbon dioxide reactivity, and jugular vein oxygen saturation were found between patients anesthetized with isoflurane and sevoflurane. Conclusions The study indicates that before as well as during hyperventilation, subdural ICP and AVDo2 are lower and CPP higher in propofol-anesthetized patients compared with patients anesthetized with isoflurane or sevoflurane. These findings were associated with less tendency for cerebral swelling after opening of dura in the propofol group. The carbon dioxide reactivity in patients anesthetized with isoflurane and sevoflurane was significantly higher than in the propofol group. The differences in subdural ICP between the groups are presumed to be caused by differences in the degree of vasoconstriction elicited by the anesthetic agents, but autoregulatory mechanisms caused by differences in CPP cannot be excluded.

The study focused on the physical development indicators in younger teens aged 11–12 (Group 1) and 13–14 (Group 2) living in northern conditions (Surgut, Russia). The data was collected and processed in spring from February through March 2020. The physical development, the functional state of the cardiovascular system and the functional body reserves were assessed by anthropometric and hemodynamic indicators. It was found that the physical development was harmonious in the majority of examined teenagers. Among elder teenagers, more boys had good physical development, while more elder girls showed signs of asthenization. Hemodynamic parameters reflected the improved functioning of the cardiovascular system in relation to age. The integrative indicators of heart rate hemodynamics and arterial blood pressure were above the age-sex norm, which indicates stress on the vital systems. The adaptation reserves in teenagers of both groups were reduced during the spring period: 47–66 % of teenagers in Group 1 and 57–68 % of teenagers in Group 2 demonstrated unsatisfactory adaptation indicators.

Background: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation causes stimulation of symphatho-adrenal system resulting in increase in blood pressure and heart rate. The present study compared oral clonidine, gabapentin and placebo premedication in attenuating haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.Methods: About 90 adult patients of ASA grade I and II patients in age group of 18-60 yrs, of either sex posted for surgery under general anaesthesia were randomly divided into three groups (30 patients in each group). The study drugs were given orally 90minutes before induction. Group 1 and Group 2 were pre treated with oral clonidine (0.2mg) and gabapentin (800mg) respectively and Group-3 received placebo. The HR, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial blood pressure were recorded before induction of anesthesia and 1, 3, 5, 10min after laryngoscopy and intubation.Results: It was found that both clonidine and gabapentin reduces HR, SBP, DBP, MAP than placebo group at lminute, 3minutes, 5minutes and 10minutes after intubation. But reduction is more with clonidine as compared to gabapentine and difference was statistically significant (P = <0.0001).Conclusions: Both oral clonidine and gabapentine attenuate hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation but effect is better with clonidine than oral gabapentine.
