A splanchic artery occlusion for 90 min followed by reperfusion of the mesenteric circulation resulted in a severe form of circulatory shock characterized by endothelial dysfunction, severe hypotension, marked intestinal tissue injury, and a high mortality rate. The effect of rutin, a flavonoid having antiprostanoid, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antioxidant effect, were investigated in a model of splanchnic artery occlusion (SAO) shock in urethane anesthetized rats. Occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for 90 min produced a severe shock state resulted in a fatal outcome within 120 min of reperfusion in many rats. Rutin was given as a bolus (1.28 mg/kg) 10 min prior to reperfusion. Administration of rutin significantly improved mean arterial blood pressure in comparison to vehicle treated rats (p＜0.05). Rutin treatment also resulted in a significant attenuation in the increase in plasma amino nitrogen concentration, intestinal myeloperoxidase activity, intestinal lipid peroxidation, infiltration of neutrophils in intestine and thrombin induced adherence of neutrophils to superior mesentric artery segments. These results suggest that rutin provides beneficial effects in part by preserving endothelial function and attenuating neutrophil accumulation in the ischemic reperfused splanchnic circulation.

A splanchic artery occlusion for 90 min followed by reperfusion of the mesenteric circulation resulted in a severe form of circulatory shock, characterized by endothelial dysfunction, severe hypotension, marked intestinal tissue injury, and a high mortality rate. The effect of defibrotide, a complex of single-stranded polydeoxyribonucleotides having antithrombotic effect, was investigated in a model of splanchnic artery occlusion (SAO) shock in urethane anesthetized rats. Occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for 90 min produced a severe shock state, resulting in a fatal outcome within 120 min of reperfusion in many rats. Defibrotide (10 mg/kg body weight) 10 min prior to reperfusion significantly improved mean arterial blood pressure in comparison to vehicle treated rats (p＜0.05). Defibrotide treatment also significantly attenuated in the increase of plasma amino nitrogen concentration, intestinal myeloperoxidase activity, intestinal lipid peroxidation, infiltration of neutrophils in intestine and thrombin induced adherence of neutrophils to superior mesentric artery segments. Superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide production in $1{\mu}M$ formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (fMLP)-activated PMNs was inhibited by defibrotide in a dose-dependent fashion. Defibrotide effectively scavenged hydrogen peroxide, but not hydroxyl radical. Treatment of SAO rats with defibrotide inhibited tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, and interleukin-1${\beta}$ productions in blood in comparison with untreated rats. These results suggest that defibrotide partly provides beneficial effects by preserving endothelial function, attenuating neutrophil accumulation, and antioxidant in the ischemic reperfused splanchnic circulation

만성 문맥압 항진증에서 관찰되는 과혈류 순환과 말초혈관 이완에 대한 산화질소의 역할을 규명하기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 실험동물은 수컷 흰쥐를 이용하여 문맥을 부분결찰하여 문맥 고혈압을 유발시킨 군과 겉보기 수술만을 시행한 대조군으로 구분하고 문맥 고혈압군은 문맥 부분 결찰후 부터 혈역학 측정 전까지 식수를 경구 투여한 식수 투여군과 산화질소 억제제인 $N^{\omega}$-Nitro-L-Arginine(1mg/kg/day)를 경구 투여한 NNA 투여군으로 나누었다. 혈역학적 측정은 수술 2주 후에 시행하였고 $^{51}Cr$과 $^{57}Co$-labeled microspheres를 이용하여 심박출량, 조직 혈류량, 문맥-전신 단락률, 문맥압, 말초혈관 저항 내장혈관 저항 등을 측정하였다. 평균 동맥압은 대조군 $129.3{\pm}9.6mmHg$, 식수 투여군은 $111.3{\pm}5.5mmHg$로 대조군에 비해 유의하게 감소되어 있었고, NNA 투여군은 $128.7{\pm}19.8mmHg$로 식수 투여군에 비해 증가되어 있었다. 심박출량은 대조군의 $105.2{\pm}6.5ml/min$에 비해 식수 투여군에서 $144.2{\pm}17.9ml/min$로 증가되었으며, NNA 투여군은 $89.9{\pm}14.4ml/min$로 식수 투여군에 비해 감소되어 있었다. 전말초 저항은 식수 투여군에서 $6.0{\pm}0.9dyne/sec/cm^5{\times}10^5$로 대조군의 $9.5{\pm}0.8dyne/sec/cm^5{\times}10^5$에 비해 감소되었고, NNA 투여군은 $11.2{\pm}2.1dyne/sec/cm^5{\times}10^5$로 식수 투여군에 비해 증가되어 있었다. 문맥으로 유입되는 혈류량은 대조군 $16.61{\pm}5.03ml/min$, 식수 투여군은 $29.66{\pm}4.27ml/min$로 식수 투여군에서 유의한 증가가 있었으며, NNA 투여군은 $11.43{\pm}2.24ml/min$로 식수 투여군에 비해 감소되어 있었다. 내장혈관 저항은 식수 투여군에서 $2.59{\pm}0.44dyne/sec/cm^5{\times}10^5$로 대조군의 $6.61{\pm}3.08$dyne/sec/$cm^5{\times}10^5$에 비해 감소되었으며, NNA 투여군은 $8.09{\pm}2.04$dyne/sec/$cm^5{\times}10^5$로 식수 투여군에 비해 증가되어 있었다. 문맥-전선 단락율은 대조군의 $1.35{\pm}0.42%$ 에 비해 식수 투여군은 $95.42{\pm}2.73%$로 증가되었으며, NNA 투여군은 $73.36{\pm}17.67%$로 식수 투여군보다 감소되어 있었다. 문맥압은 대조군 $7.94{\pm}1.29mmHg$, 식수 투여군 $17.16{\pm}3.17mmHg$, NNA 투여군은 $16.67{\pm}2.24mmHg$로 대조군에 비해 식수 투여군과 NNA 투여군에서 증가되었으나, 양군 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 문맥 저항은 NNA 투여군에서 $12.23{\pm}3.93dyne/sec/cm^5{\times}10^5$로 식수 투여군의 $4.74{\pm}1.20yne/sec/cm^5{\times}10^5$에 비해 증가되었다. 결론적으로 문맥의 부분결찰로 유도된 만성 문맥압 항진 쥐에서 산화질소 합성 억제제인 NNA를 투여할 경우 문맥압의 변화 없이 동맥압의 증가, 심박출량의 감소, 내장 및 전신 혈관 저항의 증가 등이 유발되었다. 이상의 결과를 고려해 볼 때 만성 문맥압 항진증시 관찰되는 과혈류 순환의 형성에 산화질소가 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다.

문맥 고혈압 동물에서 내장장기의 혈류역동학적 변동으로서 문맥압의 증가와 동반하여 장간의 혈류량 증가와 혈관저항의 감소뿐만 아니라 전신 혈관저항의 감소가 특징적으로 야기된다. 문맥고혈압에 있어서 propranolol이 beta 1과 beta 2 수용체의 봉쇄작용으로 문맥고혈압을 저하시킨다는 점에서 사용되기도 한다. 본 실험에서는 흰쥐에서 문맥을 부분적으로 결찰하여 문맥고혈압을 야기하고 10일 후에 내장장기의 혈류역동학적 변동과 혈관 수축성 약물에 대한 반응성의 변동을 관찰하였다. 동시에 이에 대한 propranolol의 효과도 검토하였다. 문맥 결찰 후에는 비 펄프압의 증가와 동반하여 내장장기의 혈류량과 모세혈관압 증가가 야기되었고 동시에 모세혈관 전 저항(Ra)과 모세혈관 후 저항(Rv)은 저하되었다. Noradrenaline에 대한 Rv의 증가반응, adrenaline에 대한 Ra와 Rv의 증가반응, 및 phenylephrine에 대한 상장간막 동맥압, Ra및 Rv의 증가반응이 특징적으로 문맥결찰군에서 대조군에 비하여 현저히 약화되었다. Propranolol 처치군(PPL-3)에서 장간막 혈류량의 감소가 초래되었고, 문맥결찰군에서 저하된 Ra와 Rv가 propranolol투여로 대조군 수치로 회복되 었다. 이러한 성적의 결과로 문맥 결찰에 의하여 장간막 혈류량 증가와 동반된 Ra와 Rv의 저하는 비 펄프압 증가로 야기된 것으로 추측되며 내장장기 혈류역동학적 및 혈관 반응도의 변동은 장기적인 propranolol 처치로 효과있게 교정되는 점으로 미루어 내장장기의 과혈류역동은 내장장기 혈관의 아드레나린성 수용체의 기능변동과 밀접한 관련이 있다고 사료되었다.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the early postprandial changes in gastrointestinal (GI) hormones and hemodynamics in terms of early dumping syndrome after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: Forty patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer and 18 controls without previous abdominal surgery were enrolled. Before and 20 minutes after liquid meal ingestion, blood glucose, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and GLP-2 concentrations and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and renal blood flow were measured. The patients' heart rates were recorded at 5-minute intervals. All subjects were examined for dumping syndrome using a questionnaire based on Sigstad's clinical diagnostic index. Results: The postprandial increases in blood glucose, GLP-1, and GLP-2 levels as well as SMA blood flow and heart rate were greater in patients who underwent gastrectomy than in controls (all P<0.010). Patients who underwent gastrectomy showed a significantly decreased renal blood flow (P<0.001). Among patients who underwent gastrectomy, distal gastrectomy was a significant clinical factor associated with a lower risk of early dumping syndrome than total gastrectomy (hazard ratio, 0.092; 95% confidence interval, 0.013-0.649; P=0.017). Patients who underwent total gastrectomy showed a greater postprandial increase in blood glucose (P<0.001), GLP-1 (P=0.030), and GLP-2 (P=0.002) levels as well as and heart rate (P=0.013) compared to those who underwent distal gastrectomy. Conclusions: Early postprandial changes in GI hormones and hemodynamics were greater in patients who underwent gastrectomy than in controls, especially after total gastrectomy, suggesting that these changes play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of early dumping syndrome.

Purpose: To investigate the hemodynamic risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), we analyzed the characteristics of descending aorta (DA) blood flow in preterm neonates, who later developed NEC. Methods: This was an observational case-control study on 53 preterm neonates at a tertiary referral center. Clinical and echocardiographic data were collected from 23 preterm neonates with NEC (NEC group), and compared with those of 30 preterm neonates without NEC (control group). Echocardiography was done at a median (interquartile range) of 5 (3-9) days after birth and 2 (1-2.5) days before the diagnosis of NEC. Results: Basic clinical characteristics including gestational age, birth weight, Apgar score, breast feeding status, use of umbilical catheters, and mode of invasive ventilator care were similar between the groups. Compared with the control group, the lowest diastolic velocity of DA was significantly decreased, whereas the diastolic reverse flow and the ratio of diastolic reverse to systolic forward flows were significantly increased in the NEC group. In addition, the resistive index (RI) of DA was significantly increased in the NEC group and showed a positive association with the development of NEC. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that increasing RI of DA was an independent risk factor for the development of NEC (P=0.008). Conclusion: Significant changes in DA flow characteristics including decreased diastolic velocity and increased diastolic reverse flow along with increased peripheral vascular resistance were observed before the development of NEC in preterm neonates. These findings may help clinicians stratify in advance neonates at a risk of developing NEC and may help improve outcomes in these neonates.
