Twenty eight patients with conpnital heart disuse underwent lung biopsy to assets pulmonary obstructive vascular disease at cardiac surpry. Thirteen patients had patent ductus arteriosus, 10, ventricular septal defects and S, atrial septal defects. The aaes were between 2 and 30 years. In patients with patent ductus arteriosus lung biopsy was performed from the IIngular Hlment. The anterior seament of the right upper lobe was blopsled in cases with ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect. Grading of pulmonary obstructive vascular disease could not be assessed In 9 cases. In 2 cases poor quality of the slides made us impossible to evaluate and In 7 cases there were no suitable small muscular arteries to evaluate in the slides of lung tissue especially taken from the IIngular seament. Nineteen cases were evaluated pulmonary obstructive vascular disease. Among them 17 cases had Heath-Edwards changes of grade 1 and 2 patients had that of grade 3. The thickness of media was measured. It was expressed as percentage of medial thickness to outer diameter of artery. The medial thickness was correlated proportionally with elevation of pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance to systemic vascular resistance ratio. There were no complications related to the procedure of lung biopsy.

Attenuated functional exercise capacity in elderly and diseased populations is a common problem, and stems primarily from physical inactivity. Decreased function and exercise capacity can be restored by maintaining muscular strength and mass, which are key factors in an independent and healthy life. Resistance exercise has been used to prevent muscle loss and improve muscular strength and mass. However, the intensities necessary for traditional resistance training to increase muscular strength and mass may be contraindicated for some at risk populations, such as diseased populations and the elderly. Therefore, an alternative exercise modality is required. Recently, blood flow restriction (BFR) with low intensity resistance exercise (LIRE) has been used for such special populations to improve their function and exercise capacity. Although BFR+LIRE has been intensively studied for a decade, a comprehensive review detailing the effects of BFR+LIRE on both skeletal muscle and vascular function is not available. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to discuss previous studies documenting the effects of BFR+LIRE on hormonal and transcriptional factors in muscle hypertrophy and vascular function, including changes in hemodynamics, and endothelial function.

연구배경: 혈류의 누가현상이 일어나는 폐혈관계의 압력을 유효유출압($P_I$), 심박출량의 변화분에 대한 폐동맥압의 변화분을 폐혈관저항증분(IR)이라고 정의할때에 $P_I$ 및 IR과 폐혈관저항을 비교해보면 폐혈관저항의 문제점이 발견된다. 즉 폐혈관상이 감소하는 폐색전증에서는 이론상 IR이 주로 증가해야 하는데, 여러 연구에 의하여 상반된 결과가 보고되어있고 폐혈관저항과 $P_I$, IR간에는 상위점이 존재하는 것이 알려져 왔다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 폐혈관저항을 폐혈관계의 유효유출압($P_I$)과 폐혈관저항증분(IR)으로 세분할때 폐색전증의 유발 및 치료시 아들이 어떻게 변화하는가를 관찰하여 이러한 새로운 지표들의 의미와 일반적으로 사용되는 폐혈관저항과의 차이점을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 실험전에 동정맥루를 만든후 10~15분 간격으로 조직하여, 동정맥루가 모두 폐쇄된 상태, 하나의 동정맥루가 개방된 상태, 그리고 두개의 동정맥루가 모두 개방된 상태의 3가지 경우로 심박출량올 변화시키면서 방사성동위원소로 표지된 자가혈병으로 대량의 폐색전증을 유발시킨후의 평균폐동맥압을 측정하여 폐혈관계의 유효유출압과 폐혈관저항증분을 계산하였다. 이때 대조군은 특이 치료를 하지않고, 제 1 치료군은 15분 동안, 제 2치료군은 3시간에 걸쳐서 재조합형의 조직형 플라스미노겐 활성체를 체중당 1mg씩 정맥주입하면서 유효유출압과 폐혈관저항증분의 변화양상을 관찰하였다. 곁과: 1) 폐혈관저항은 폐동맥압의 변화양상과 유사하게 변화했는데, 세군 모두 폐혈관저항이 유의하게 증가하였고, 제 1 치료군 및 제 2 치료군에서는 치료후 폐혈관저항이 계속 감소하는 경향을 보였는데, 제 1 치료군의 감소속도가 제 2 치료군보다 유의하게 빨랐다. 2) 최소자승법으로 산출한 심박출량과 폐동맥압과의 직선관계는 절편($P_I$) 및 기울기(IR)가 유의하였다. 3) $P_I$(폐혈관계의 유효유출압)는 폐혈관저항과 동일한 양상으로 변화한 반면에, 이론상 폐혈관저항과 가까운 IR(폐혈관저항증분)에서는 세군간의 유의한 차이나 조직형 플라스미노겐 활성체 투여후의 의미있는 변화는 거의 없었다. 결론: 폐색전증에서는 폐혈관계의 실제저항을 의미하는 폐혈관저항증분과 폐색전증에 대한 이차적 혈관 수축때문에 생기는 폐혈관계의 유효유출압의 변화가 동시에 반영된다고 할 수 있겠다.

Author has performed experimental study on hemodynamic changes of lung following radical hilar stripping and contralateral pulmonary artery ligation. In view of hemodynamic changes in group 1 (right pulmonary artery ligation only) and group 2(left hilar stripping+right pulmonary artery ligation). group 2 showed remarkable decrease rate in oxygen uptake (P<0.001) and total pulmonary blood flow(P<0.001), and the more increase rate in mean pulmonary artery pressure(P<0.02) and total pulmonary vascular resistance (P<0.001). Meanwhile, the decrease percent of left lung vascular resistance was lower than group 1(P<0.001). The hemodynamic changes in group 1 returned to control range two weeks later. In the group 2, two dogs were expired as a result of atelectasis and pulmonary hypertension. Among allying 8 dogs, five months after operation, follow up studies performed in two dogs, which showed normal pulmonary hemodynamics similar to preoperative data. The altered blood gas values and decreased oxygen uptake are more remarkable in denervated lung, which may due to pulmonary hypertension and partly retained more secretion in bronchial trees than usual. Important factors of raising pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary artery pressure are considered as the increased blood flow to remaining left lung and dysfunction of pulmonary vascular bed to accept the increased blood flow after denervation. Loss of nerve innervation had a influence, to some extent, to the decrease of oxygen uptake and the increase of pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary artery pressure. There can be little question that denervation does impair the pulmonary hemodynamics, however, intact pulmonary nerve innervation is not absolutely essential for survival of the animal.

Background: The effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on cerebral vessels have not been clarified until now. Thus we investigated the efficacy of omega-3 PUFAs supplementation on cerebral blood flow velocity and vascular resistance via transcranial doppler (TCD). Methods: Consecutive twenty patients (13 male and 7 female) with at least 1 cerebrovascular risk factor or a known cerebrovascular disease were enrolled. Patients were treated with omega-3 PUFAs (1 g, two times per day) for 12 weeks. Cerebral blood flow velocity, resistance index, and pulsatile index were checked before and after 12 weeks of treatment using TCD. Results: The change of resistance index in right MCA (from $0.58{\pm}0.07$ to $0.55{\pm}0.07$, p = 0.042) and left PCA (from $0.56{\pm}0.07$ to $0.53{\pm}0.06$, p = 0.037) showed significant improvement after 12 weeks of omega-3 PUFAs treatment. The changes in other vessels, however, failed to show any significant changes compared to the baseline. Conclusions: Omega-3 PUFAs treatment showed feasible efficacies for cerebral vascular resistances in this open label trial. To confirm these results, larger samples of patients and longer period of follow-up is warranted.

Vascular dementia is the most common neuropsychiatric syndrome and is characterized by synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and cognitive dysfunction. Vascular dementia is associated with various environmental, genetic, and lifestyle risk factors. Recent research has focused on the association between vascular dementia and dietary patterns, suggesting that dietary regulation leads to better control of energy metabolism, improvements in brain insulin resistance, and the suppression of neuroinflammation. Intermittent fasting is a calorie-restriction method known to be more effective in promoting fat loss and regulating the impairment of glucose metabolism as compared with other dietary restriction regimens. Herein, the authors review the effects of intermittent fasting with regard to vascular dementia based on recent evidence and propose that intermittent fasting could be a therapeutic approach for ameliorating vascular dementia pathology and preventing its onset.

Thirty four patients with a ventricular septal defect, aged 2 months to 24 years [median 2.33 years], had lung biopsies during open heart procedures to assess the degree of pulmonary vascular disease. The patients were divided into two groups according to their age; group 1 - under 2 years of age [15 patients], and group 2- over 2 years of age [19 patients]. The, pathologic change of the pulmonary arterioles was correlated with pre-operative hemodynamic data in 34 patients. There was no significant correlation between the severity of pulmonary vascular disease according to Heath-Edwards classification and the patients age [X2=1.8381, P=0.1751 ]. There was a significant correlation between degree of medial wall thickness and arteriolar diameter and the level of preoperative peak pulmonary artery pressure and peak systemic artery pressure [Pp/Ps]. Also, there was a good correlation between the preoperative pulmonary vascular resistance and systemic vascular resistance [Rp/Rs]. There was no significant correlation between wall thickness and Pp/Ps, and Rp/Rs below the age of 2 years. We conclude that, in patients over 2 years of age, there was a significant correlation between the medial wall thickness of the pulmonary arteriole and elevation of Pp/Ps and Rp/Rs. This is not true in patients under 2 years of age.

In lower extremity reconstruction, the recipient vessel often requires long-range mechanical dilation because of extensive vasospasm or plaque formation induced by concomitant atherosclerosis. While a forceps dilator can be used to manipulate and dilate vessels approximately 1 cm from their end, a DeBakey vascular dilator can dilate long-range vessels. The authors successfully performed free flap reconstruction of the lower extremity using the DeBakey vascular dilator. Of the two patients who underwent lower extremity reconstruction, one had extensive vasospasm, and the other had plaques in the recipient arteries. Irrigation with 4% lidocaine and dilation of the lumen with a forceps dilator were insufficient to restore the normal arterial blood flow. Instead, a DeBakey vascular dilator with a 1-mm diameter tip was gently inserted into the lumen. Then, to overcome vessel resistance, the dilator gently advanced approximately 10 cm to dilate the recipient artery. Normal arterial blood flow was gushed out after dilating the vessel lumen using a DeBakey vascular dilator. The vascular anastomosis was performed, and intravenous heparin 5000 IU was administered immediately after anastomosis. Prophylactic low-molecular-weight-heparin (Clexane, 1 mg/kg) was administered subcutaneously to both patients for 14 days. The reconstructed flap survived without necrosis in either patient.

The migration and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells (VEC), which play an important role in vascular remodeling, are known to be regulated by hemodynamic forces in the blood vessels. When shear stresses of 2, 6, 15 dynes/$cm^2$ are applied on mouse micro-VEC in vitro, cells surprisingly migrate against the flow direction at all conditions. While higher flow rate imposes more resistance against the cells, reducing their migration speed, the horizontal component of the velocity parallel to the flow increases with the flow rate, indicating the higher alignment of cells in the direction parallel to the flow at a higher shear stress. In addition, cells exhibit substrate stiffness and calcium dependent migration behavior, which can be explained by polarized remodeling in the mechanosensitive pathway under shear stress.

Object : This study was undertaken to define the mechanism of GwakHyangJungGiSan-induced relaxation in rabbit common carotid artery contracted by agonists. Method : In order to investigate the effect of GwakHyangJungGiSan on rabbit's contracted vascular ring detached from common carotid artery, vascular ring intact or damaged endothelium was used for the experiment using organ bath. To analyze the mechanism of GwakHyangJungGiSan-induced relaxation, GwakHyangJungGiSan extract was infused into contracted vascular ring which had been pretreated by pretreatment of indomethacin(IM), tetraethylammonium chloride(TEA), $N{\omega}-nitro-L-arginine(L-NNA)$. Result : GwakHyangJungGiSan blocks an inflow of $Ca^{2+}$ and relaxes vascular ring by the action of Nitric oxide from endothelium. Consequently when GwakHyangJungGiSan is prescribed, a rise in blood pressure by the resistance of peripheral vessel may be controlled to some extent and so it is anticipated that hypertension, a disorder of blood flow from the vascular contraction and vascular disease will be treated well.
