Effect of ambrisentan in patients with systemic sclerosis and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension: long-term follow-up data from EDITA study

Arthritis Research & Therapy
Background In the EDITA trial, patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and mild pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) treated with ambrisentan had a significant decline of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) but not of mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP ...

Pulmonary hypertension

Nature Reviews Disease Primers
Pulmonary hypertension encompasses a range of conditions directly or indirectly leading to elevated pressures within the pulmonary arteries. Five main groups of pulmonary hypertension are recognized, all defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure of >20 mmHg: pulmonary arterial hypertension (rare), pulmonary hypertension associated with left-sided ...

Pulmonary Hypertension

Deutsches Ärzteblatt international, 2017
About 1% of adults suffer from pulmonary hypertension (PH). The various types of PH differ widely with respect to their incidence, clinical significance, and treatment.Selective review of the literature in association with a consensus conference.Pulmonary hypertension is divided into five major categories.

Pulmonary hypertension caused by pulmonary venous hypertension [PDF]

, 2015
The effect of pulmonary venous hypertension (PVH) on the pulmonary circulation is extraordinarily variable, ranging from no impact on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) to a marked increase. The reasons for this are unknown.

Mechanical Stress Induced NOX2 Promotes Endothelial Dysfunction in Ventilator‐Induced Lung Injury: Potential Treatment with Quercetin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Abnormal mechanical stretch induced by mechanical ventilation (MV) disrupts endothelial junctions via the NOX2/ROS/CaMKII/ERK1/2 axis both in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) in vitro and in ventilator‐induced lung injury (VILI) in mice. Quercetin, an antioxidant predicted to bind to NOX2, can effectively prevent mechanical stretch‐induced ...

Safety, tolerability, and efficacy of an in‐class combination therapy switch from bosentan plus sildenafil to ambrisentan plus tadalafil in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation
The aim of this single‐centre retrospective observational study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of an in‐class combination therapy switch from bosentan plus sildenafil to ambrisentan plus tadalafil in children with pulmonary ...

Red Blood Cell Membrane Lipidomics: Potential Biomarkers Detecting Method for Plasma Volume Overload and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Heart Failure Patients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel RBC indicator, ESI, is better than the traditional RBC indicators and is associated with CHF prevalence and in‐hospital death. RBC membrane lipidomics, Cer 18:0;O2/16:0, and LPE 18:0, are associated with plasma volume overload and MACE in CHF patients, but these plasma lipids could not.

Micro-CT Image-Derived Metrics Quantify Arterial Wall Distensibility Reduction in a Rat Model of Pulmonary Hypertension [PDF]

, 2000
We developed methods to quantify arterial structural and mechanical properties in excised rat lungs and applied them to investigate the distensibility decrease accompanying chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension. Lungs of control and hypertensive

Macrophage‐Mediated Transport of Insoluble Indirubin Induces Hepatic Injury During Intestinal Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived bioactive molecules with low solubility and permeability induce hepatocyte injury, though the mechanisms driving their hepatic effects remain poorly understood. This study identifies a novel transport pathway in which poorly soluble indirubin accumulates in the liver via macrophage‐mediated uptake in Peyer's patches, exacerbating hepatic ...
