Objectives: The study examines the relation between urinary arsenic concentration and blood pressure, which is a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Materials: In this study, the urinary arsenic concentration, history of diagnosed disease, and blood pressure of 782 local residents in Gwangyang, Yeosu, and Hadong regions from May 2007 to July 2007. Results: The urinary arsenic concentration of total participants was $9.06{\mu}g/g-ct$. The logistic regression analysis of medical diagnosed history and urinary arsenic concentration, showed statistically significance (p<0.05) of high urinary arsenic concentration in participants with diagnosed hypertension. In addition, diagnosed hypertension it was observed that the high blood pressure was related with the pulse pressure. Conclusions: The arsenic concentration level was low in this study, but the exposure to low levels of arsenic has an effect on hypertension. Also, hypertension is related to pulse pressure and mean arterial blood pressure as well as being risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, close supervision of low -level arsenic exposure is needed.

Protamine, a polycationic peptide extracted from fish, has been widely used for the reversal of anticoagulant action of heparin. However it may cause untoward circulatory side effects including hypotension and bradyarrhythmia. Nowadays, histamine and prostacyclin are regarded as one of the causative agents in the underlying mechanism of hemodynamic changes. To certify the possible role of histamine and prostacyclin, we observed simultaneous changes of the hemodynamic status, plasma concentration of thromboxane B, and circulating platelet count before and after intravenous injection of protamine. Experimental dogs, weighing 12-14kg, were divided into 2 groups; group A animals [n=10], were pretreated with indomethacin[2.5mg/kg] and group B animals[n=10] were pretreated with chlorpheniramine[0.5mg/kg] Heparin[3mg/kg] and protamine [3mg/kg] were administered sequentially in both groups. The results were as follows ; 1. The mean systemic arterial pressure was maintained well in groups A, whereas in group B it decreased from 165\ulcorner18mmHg to 138\ulcorner30mmHg[p<0.01] and 151\ulcorner21 mmHg[p<0.05] at 1 minute and 2 minutes after protamine injection. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure was not changed significantly in group A, whereas in group B it increased from 852 mmHg to 11\ulcorner3 mmHg[p<0.05], 11\ulcorner3 mmHg[p<0.05] and 10\ulcorner3 mmHg[p<0.05] at 1 minute, 3 minutes and 5 minutes after protamine injection. 2 The thromboxane B2 was not changed significantly in group A, whereas in group B it increased from 399\ulcorner401 \ulcornerg/ml to 744\ulcorner615 \ulcornerg/ml[p<0.05] and 814\ulcorner1070 \ulcornerg/ml [p<0.0 5] at 1 minute and 3 minutes after protamine injection without concomitant changes of pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. 3. The number of circulating platelet was not changed in group A, whereas in group B it decreased from 207100\ulcorner103600/\ulcornerl to 159700\ulcorner90900/\ulcornerl [p<0.05] at 1 minute after protamine injection, Although thromboxane B2 and platelet count were changed significantly after protamine injection, they did not cause the remarkable hemodynamic changes. Considering the above results, hemodynamic changes may be caused mainly by prostacyclin rather than thromboxane or platelet. Therefore, the pretreatment with cyclooxygenase inhibitor would be beneficial to prevent circulatory adverse effects of protamine for the patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Total body perfusion using Rygg-Kyvsgaard Heart-Lung-Machine, Mark IV, Polystan was attempted in the dogs by the hemodilution method with total prime of buffered Hartman's solution and under hypothermia. The first of all, the functions of Rygg--Kyvsgaard Heart-Lung-Machine and the effects of the hemodilution perfusion by buffered Hartman's solution was studied. At the same time the changes of blood pressure, oxygen consumption, and influence on the blood pictures were observed before, during, and in 1-3 days after perfusion. Hemodilution rates were the average 74. 22cc/Kg(the ranges of 67 to 81 cc/Kg) and perfusion flow rates were maintained in the mean 62. 6cc/Kg/min., Although it was possible to check up to 87 cc/ Kg/min. The total body perfusion continued for 60-80 minutes. Hypothermia was employed between $36^{\circ}C$ and $32^{\circ}C$ of the rectal temperature. Arterial pressure was ranged approximately between 68mmHg and 149mmHg, but generally, it was maintained over 80mmHg. Venous pressure was measured between 6.5cm $H_2O$and 11.5cm $H_2O$. Optimum oxygenation can be expected when oxygen flow into the disposable bubble oxygenator was maintained approximately at 3.5 L/min .. Inthis way, the oxygen contents were measured in the mean value of 13.11${\pm}$O.56 vol. % of arterial blood and 8.67+1.08 vol.% of venous blood(P${\pm}$0.86 vol.% in arteriovenous oxygen difference and 2. 97${\pm}$0.62cc/Kg in oxygen consumption were calculated. According to these dates, it is as plain as pikestaff that excellent oxygenation and good tissue perfusion was accomplished. Erythrocyte, hemoglobin and hematocrit were decreased about 38% during extracorporeal circulation and these were not recovered until 1-3 days after perfusion. These decrease was resulted from relatively high degree of hemodilution rate and no blood transfusion to compensate during these experimental studies. The platelets were also decreased about 76% during perfusion, but on the contrary, it was increased progressively after perfusion and in 1-3 days after perfusion was returned to the control level. Leucocyte were also decreased during perfusion, but it was increased progessively after perfusion and in 1-3 days after perfusion exceed the control level. This increase was resulted from postoperative infection of the wound, but its analysis were not changed significantly.

본 연구는 개에서 건삭파열로 유발한 급성 이첨판 폐쇄부전 모델의 혈류역학적 변화를 관찰하는 것이다. 이 연구는 10마리의 정상 심장기능을 가진 비글견에서 실시되었다. 직접혈압측정법과 Swan-Ganz 카테터를 통해 건삭을 실험적으로 파열시키는 기간동안 혈류역학적 지표 변화를 진행하였다. 이첨판 폐쇄부전 모델을 만들기 위해 5번 늑간으로 접근하여 관절경에 사용하는 작은 훅나이프를 사용하여 건삭을 파열하였다. 수술 중 칼라 도플러 영상 검사를 통해 이첨판 역류를 확인하였다. 혈류역학적 지표를 측정한 결과 폐모세혈관쇄기압은 유의적으로 증가하였지만, 평균동맥압, 정맥압, 폐동맥압, 심박출량, 심박출 지수는 건삭 파열 후에 유의적으로 감소한다는 것을 발견하였다. 이것은 건산파열로 인해 좌심실로 부터 역류된 혈액이 좌심방에 과부하를 일으킨다는 것을 나타내는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 개에서 급성 이첨판 폐쇄부전 모델을 만드는데 있어 건삭파열방법이 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었고, 이첨판 역류 유발 후 시간이 지나면 만성 이첨판 부전증으로 진행할 수 있을 것으로 생각되며, 차후 판막의 만성적 변화 양상을 연구하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각됩니다.

Purpose: Immediate post-laparotomy hypotension (PLH) is a precipitous drop in blood pressure caused by a sudden release of abdominal tamponade after laparotomy in cases of severe hemoperitoneum. The effect of laparotomy on blood pressure in patients with significant hemoperitoneum is unknown. Methods: In total, 163 patients underwent laparotomy for trauma from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015. Exclusion criteria included the following: negative laparotomy, only a hollow viscous injury, and hemoperitoneum <1,000 mL. After applying those criteria, 62 patients were enrolled in this retrospective review. PLH was defined as a decrease in the mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥10 mmHg within 10 minutes after laparotomy. Results: The mean estimated hemoperitoneum was 3,516 mL. The incidence of PLH was 23% (14 of 62 patients). The MAP did not show significant differences before and after laparotomy (5 minutes post-laparotomy, 67.5±16.5 vs. 68.3±18.8 mmHg; p=0.7; 10 minutes post-laparotomy, 67.5±16.5 vs. 70.4±18.8 mmHg; p=0.193). The overall in-hospital mortality was 24% (15 of 62 patients). Mortality was not significantly higher in the PLH group (two of 14 [14.3%] vs. 13 of 48 [27.1%]; p=0.33). No statistically significant between-group differences were observed in the intensive care unit and hospital stay. Conclusions: PLH may be less frequent and less devastating than it is often considered. Surgical hemostasis during laparotomy is important. Laparotomy with adequate resuscitation may explain the equivalent outcomes in the two groups.

In this study, the computational method is presented to simulate the hemodynamics of the patients after the Fontan procedure. The short-term feedback control models are implemented to assess the hemodynamic responses of the patients exposed to the stresses such as gravitational effect or hemorrhage. To construct the base line of the Fontan model, we assume an increase in venous tone, in heart rates, and in systemic resistance that are based on the clinical observations. For the verification of the present method we simulate the LBNP (lower body negative pressure) test for the normal and the Fontan model and we compare these with experimental data. Computational results show that the diastolic ABP(arterial blood pressure) increases but the systolic ABP decreases during LBNP. The increase in heart rate is due to the control system activated by the decreased mean ABP and CVP(central venous pressure). In case of the Fontan model, the increased venous tone is the reason of the diminished CVP change during LBNP. We also simulate 20% hemorrhage stress to the patient after the Fontan procedure and these results are compared with the experimental and the existing computational one. Computational results on the hemodynamics of patients after the Fontan procedure show that the mean ABP and cardiac output decrease. Heart rate and systemic resistance increase to compensate for the decrease in ABP. The sensitivity analysis according to the conduit resistance is also presented to delineate the effects of the local blood flow resistance. The cardiac output decreases according to the increase of the conduit resistance. The 50% increase in the conduit resistance causes about 3% decrease of cardiac output.
