Abstract
Background & objective: We aimed to evaluate the effect of sitaxentan on renal microvascular perfusion via application of ultrasound microbubble contrast.
Methods: Male beagles were randomly divided into: Sham, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and sitaxentan-infused (Sit) groups (n = 6). The ascending slope rate (ASR), area under the curve (AUC), derived peak intensity, and time to peak (TTP) were obtained via ultrasound microbubble contrast before CPB (T1), after 1 h CPB (T2), at end of CPB (T3), and 2 h after CPB (T4).
Results: Compared with the Sham group, the CPB group had lower ASR of the renal cortex and medulla at T2 - 4, higher AUC and TTP at T3 - 4, and lower derived peak intensity at T4. The ASR at T2 - 4 in the Sit group was lower, TTP was higher at T2 - 4, and AUC was higher at T3 - 4 (P < 0.05). Compared with the CPB group, the Sit group had higher ASR of the renal cortex and medulla at T3 - 4 and AUC and TTP at T3 - 4 (P < 0.05). Compared with that at T1, the ASR of the renal cortex and medulla at T2 - 4 in the CPB group was lower, and AUC and TTP were higher at T3 - 4. The ASR of the renal cortex and medulla at T2 - 4 in the Sit group was lower, TTP was higher at T2 - 4, and AUC was higher at T4 (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Ultrasound microbubble contrast could be effectively used to evaluate renal microvascular perfusion peri-CPB in beagles, which was prone to decrease and could be improved via pretreatment with sitaxentan.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, a peer-reviewed international scientific journal, serves as an aid to understanding the flow properties of blood and the relationship to normal and abnormal physiology. The rapidly expanding science of hemorheology concerns blood, its components and the blood vessels with which blood interacts. It includes perihemorheology, i.e., the rheology of fluid and structures in the perivascular and interstitial spaces as well as the lymphatic system. The clinical aspects include pathogenesis, symptomatology and diagnostic methods, and the fields of prophylaxis and therapy in all branches of medicine and surgery, pharmacology and drug research.
The endeavour of the Editors-in-Chief and publishers of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation is to bring together contributions from those working in various fields related to blood flow all over the world. The editors of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation are from those countries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America where appreciable work in clinical hemorheology and microcirculation is being carried out. Each editor takes responsibility to decide on the acceptance of a manuscript. He is required to have the manuscript appraised by two referees and may be one of them himself. The executive editorial office, to which the manuscripts have been submitted, is responsible for rapid handling of the reviewing process.
Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation accepts original papers, brief communications, mini-reports and letters to the Editors-in-Chief. Review articles, providing general views and new insights into related subjects, are regularly invited by the Editors-in-Chief. Proceedings of international and national conferences on clinical hemorheology (in original form or as abstracts) complete the range of editorial features.
