RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: There are many reasons to believe that the nitric oxide/guanosine 3'5' - cyclic monophosphate (or NO/cGMP) pathway on vasoplegic states is underestimated. To study indigo carmine (IC) as an alternative to methylene blue was the investigation rationale. METHODS: The IC (3mg/kg intravenous infusion) study protocol included five experimental groups; 1) Control group - saline was injected at 0 and 10 minutes; 2) IC group - IC was injected at 0 and saline at 10 minutes; 3) compound 48/80 (C48/80) group - C48/80 was injected at 0 minute and saline at 10 minutes; 4) C48/80 + IC group - C48/80 was injected at 0 minute and IC at 10 minutes; and 5) IC + C48/80 group - IC was injected at 0 minute and C48/80 at 10 minutes. The studies were carried out by registering and measuring hemodynamic and blood gasometric parameters, including continuous cardiac output. RESULTS: 1) The effects of the drugs (IC and C48/80) were more evident in the first 20 minutes of recording; 2) hypotensive responses were more pronounced in the C48/80 groups; 3) IC isolated or applied before C48/80 caused transient pulmonary hypertension; and 4) after the first 20 minutes, the pressure responses showed stability with apparent hypotension more pronounced in the C48/80 groups. Clinical observations showed significant hemodynamic instability and catastrophic anaphylactic reactions (agitation, pulmonary hypertension, severe bronchospasm, urticaria, high-intensity cyanosis, violent gastric hypersecretion, and ascites). CONCLUSION: A global results analysis showed differences between groups only in the first 20 minutes of the experiments.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is a definite association between antipsychotic drugs and arterial hypertension. However, endothelium functions are scarcely considered. This investigation was carried out to study the mechanisms involved in clozapine endothelium-dependent vascular reactivity. METHODS: The experimental animals were male Wistar rats with a mean age of 70-90 days (250-300 g). The endothelium-dependent vascular reactivity was studied by measuring the isometric force and then constructing clozapine concentration-response curves. The force registrations were obtained in the aorta rings with and without the endothelium precontracted with phenylephrine (PE10-6M) treatment; this followed incubation for 30 min in "organ chambers" with different inhibitors: l- NAME (nitric oxide/cGMP); indomethacin (PGI2/cAMP); tetraethylammonium (TEA), and specific hyperpolarization blockers (paxillin, apamin, glibenclamide). The data were presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) and were compared by one-way ANOVA or two-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni post-test. RESULTS: The primary outcomes were: 1) Clozapine-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation was not inhibited by indomethacin, l-NAME, ODQ, and methylene blue (MB); 2) The combination of l-NAME + indomethacin partially prevented the relaxation; 3) Clozapine did not induce relaxation in vessels contracted with KCl; 4) TEA did not block the clozapine-induced relaxation in vessels precontracted with PE (10-6 M); 5) The potassium channel blockers paxillin and apamin did not prevent relaxation but glibenclamide did. CONCLUSION: Concerning the mechanisms involved in clozapine endothelium-dependent vascular reactivity, the present study suggests that there is synergistic participation that probably occurs through a crosstalk mechanism of the cAMP, cGMPpathways and hyperpolarization.

RESUMO

Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is associated with a 4- to 5-fold strokes increase and may be responsible for 15% to 20% of all strokes in the elderly. In this scenario, the left atrial appendage thrombus would be the associated with 90% of cases. The use of anticoagulants, percutaneous devices, and the left atrial appendage surgical exclusion is still an open discussion. For left atrial appendage procedures, relevant anatomic spatial relationships have to be emphasized, besides the chance of the normal physiological functioning would be eliminated with the proceedings. There are evidences that the left atrial appendage closure during routine cardiac surgery is significantly associated with an increased risk of early postoperative atrial fibrillation. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to focus basic aspects for continuous medical education. In summary, the rationale of this text is to emphasize anatomical and pharmacological aspects involved in the simple surgical exclusion of left atrial appendage under cardiopulmonary bypass. There are several operative techniques, but to conclude this revision it will present one of them based on the discussed basic sciences.

RESUMO

Abstract Background: The diterpene Sclareol has antimicrobial action, cytotoxic and cytostatic effects and anti-tumor activities. However, researches on the cardiovascular system are scarce. Objective: This study was designed to investigate the mechanisms involved in the Sclareol cardiovascular effect in normotensive and hypertensive rats. Methods: The arterial hypertension was promoted using 2-kidneys 1-clip model in rats. The effect of sclareol on blood pressure was performed by using three dose (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg). Cumulative dose-response curves for Sclareol were determined for endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded aortic rings in presence or absence of L-NAME and ODQ. The NOx levels were measure in the plasma sample. Results: The Sclareol administration in vivo caused a significant reduction in blood pressure in both groups. In vitro the sclareol promoted relaxation in aorta, with endothelium, pre-contracted to Phe. The inhibitors of the nitric oxide synthase and soluble guanylate cyclase were as efficient as the removal of endothelium, in inhibiting the Sclareol-induced relaxation. Otherwise, it was no change of NOx. Also, for unknown reasons, the Sclareol is not selective for hypertensive animals. Conclusion: The diterpene Sclareol showed in vivo hypotensive and in-vitro vasodilator effects; The chemiluminescence plasmatic NO analysis showed no significant difference between groups and The Sclareol exhibit better effect on normotensive than hypertensive animals to reduce blood pressure. It is concluded that the diterpenes metabolites would be a promising source prototype for the development of new agents in the cardiovascular therapy.


Resumo Fundamento: O diterpeno Esclareol tem ação antimicrobiana, efeitos citotóxicos e citostáticos e atividades antitumorais. No entanto, pesquisas sobre o sistema cardiovascular são escassas. Objetivo: Este estudo foi desenvolvido para investigar os mecanismos envolvidos no efeito cardiovascular de Esclareol em ratos normotensos e hipertensos. Métodos: A hipertensão arterial foi promovida utilizando modelo de 2 clones de 1-clipe em ratos. O efeito do esclareol sobre a pressão arterial foi realizado utilizando três doses (10, 20 e 40 mg/kg). As curvas dose-resposta cumulativas para Esclareol foram determinadas para anéis aórticos endotélio-intactos e desprovidos de endotélio na presença ou ausência de L-NAME e ODQ. Os níveis de NOx foram medidos na amostra de plasma. Resultados: A administração de Esclareol in vivo causou uma redução significativa na pressão sanguínea em ambos os grupos. In vitro o esclareol promoveu relaxamento na aorta, com endotélio, pré-contraído a Phe. Os inibidores da óxido nítrico sintase e da guanilato ciclase solúvel foram tão eficientes quanto a remoção do endotélio, na inibição do relaxamento induzido por Esclareol. Por outra parte, não houve mudança de NOx. Além disso, por razões desconhecidas, o Sclareol não é seletivo para animais hipertensos. Conclusão: O diterpeno Esclareol apresentou efeitos hipotensores in vivo e vasodilatadores in vitro; A análise de NO plasmático por quimioluminescência não mostrou diferença significativa entre os grupos e O Esclareol exibe melhor efeito sobre os animais normotensos do que hipertensos para reduzir a pressão arterial. Conclui-se que os metabólitos de diterpenos seriam um protótipo de fonte promissora para o desenvolvimento de novos agentes na terapia cardiovascular.

RESUMO

Abstract Validation of transendocardial injection as a method for delivering therapeutic agents to the diseased heart is increasing. Puncture heart biopsies should re-emerge as a possible alternative method to allow access to the myocardium and implantable biomaterial for cell therapy. Therefore, this work aims to present a percutaneous puncture device for biopsy and intramyocardial biomaterial injection, standardize the technique and attest to the safety of the method. The adaptation consists of creating myocardial microlesions that allow for better fixation of stem cells. The objective of this technical note covers only the development of the needle and the histological quality of the biopsies. It has not been used in humans yet.

RESUMO

Objective: To examine if methylene blue (MB) can counteract or prevent protamine (P) cardiovascular effects. Methods: The protocol included five heparinized pig groups: Group Sham -without any drug; Group MB - MB 3 mg/kg infusion; Group P - protamine; Group P/MB - MB after protamine; Group MB/P - MB before protamine. Nitric oxide levels were obtained by the nitric oxide/ozone chemiluminescence method, performed using the Nitric Oxide Analizer 280i (Sievers, Boulder, CO, USA). Malondialdehyde plasma levels were estimated using the thiobarbiturate technique. Results: 1) Groups Sham and MB presented unchanged parameters; 2) Group P - a) Intravenous protamine infusion caused mean arterial pressure decrease and recovery trend after 25-30 minutes, b) Cardiac output decreased and remained stable until the end of protamine injection, and c) Sustained systemic vascular resistance increased until the end of protamine injection; 3) Methylene blue infusion after protamine (Group P/MB) - a) Marked mean arterial pressure decreased after protamine, but recovery after methylene blue injection, b) Cardiac output decreased after protamine infusion, recovering after methylene blue infusion, and c) Sustained systemic vascular resistance increased after protamine infusion and methylene blue injections; 4) Methylene blue infusion before protamine (Group MB/P) - a) Mean arterial pressure decrease was less severe with rapid recovery, b) After methylene blue, there was a progressive cardiac output increase up to protamine injection, when cardiac output decreased, and c) Sustained systemic vascular resistance decreased after protamine, followed by immediate Sustained systemic vascular resistance increase; 5) Plasma nitrite/nitrate and malondialdehyde values did not differ among the experimental groups. Conclusion: Reviewing these experimental results and our clinical experience, we suggest methylene blue safely prevents and treats hemodynamic protamine complications, from the endothelium function point of view.

RESUMO

A modern concept considers acute coronary syndrome as an autoinflammatory disorder. From the onset to the healing stage, an endless inflammation has been presented with complex, multiple cross-talk mechanisms at the molecular, cellular, and organ levels. Inflammatory response following acute myocardial infarction has been well documented since the 1940s and 1950s, including increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the C-reactive protein analysis, and the determination of serum complement. It is surprising to note, based on a wide literature overview including the following 30 years (decades of 1960, 1970, and 1980), that the inflammatory acute myocardium infarction lost its focus, virtually disappearing from the literature reports. The reversal of this historical process occurs in the 1990s with the explosion of studies involving cytokines. Considering the importance of inflammation in the pathophysiology of ischemic heart disease, the aim of this paper is to present a conceptual overview in order to explore the possibility of curbing this inflammatory process.
