Antihypoxic and anti-ischemic properties of the North Caucasus flora plant extracts

Nowdays it is established that ischemic brain damage like ischemic stroke is one of the leading cause of death and disability in the population that assumes relevance development of anti-ischemic drugs. The work studied the anti-hypoxic and anti-ischemic effect of 7 plant extracts. Antihypoxic activity w...

Risk factors for intraoperative hypoxemia during monopulmonary ventilation: an observational study

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 69 (4), 2019
Abstract Background Left double-lumen endotracheal tubes have been widely used in thoracic, esophageal, vascular, and mediastinal procedures to provide lung separation. Lacking clear objective guidelines, anesthesiologists usually select appropriately sized double-lumen endotracheal tubes based on their...

Hepatitis hipóxica en paciente con endomiocardiofibrosis
Hypoxic hepatitis in a patient with endomyocardial fibrosis

Medicina (B.Aires); 79 (4), 2019
La endomiocardiofibrosis es una causa de miocardiopatía restrictiva frecuente en la región de África subsahariana, aunque poco frecuente en nuestra población. Posee estrecha relación con la presencia de hipereosinofilia en sangre y tiene alta morbimortalidad. La hepatitis hipóxica es una afección ...

Otimização de condições para teste de apneia em paciente hipoxêmico com morte encefálica

RESUMO Relatamos o caso de um paciente que evoluiu com suspeita de morte encefálica associada à atelectasia e à hipoxemia moderada a grave, apesar de instituídos ventilação protetora, sistema de aspiração traqueal fechado, pressão positiva ao final da expiração moderada e manobra de recrutamen...

El tratamiento postnatal con melatonina modula la expresión de agentes prostanoides en pulmón de neonatos de oveja con hipertensión pulmonar

Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (3), 2019
Background: Living above 2,500 meters in hypobaric conditions induces pulmonary arterial hypertension of the neonate (PAHN), a syndrome whose main features are: pathological remodeling of the pulmonary vessels, abnormal vascular reactivity and increased oxidative stress. Melatonin could have pulmonary an...

Emodin protects H9c2 cells from hypoxia-induced injury by up-regulating miR-138 expression

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (3), 2019
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common presentation for ischemic heart disease, which is a leading cause of death. Emodin is a Chinese herbal anthraquinone used in several diseases. However, the effect of emodin in hypoxia-induced injury in cardiomyocytes has not been clearly elucidated. Our study aimed ...

Biomass smoke COPD has less tomographic abnormalities but worse hypoxemia compared with tobacco COPD

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (5), 2019
Special attention has emerged towards biomass smoke-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), providing new knowledge for prevention and therapeutic approach of non-smoker COPD patients. However, the understanding of biomass smoke COPD is still limited and somewhat controversial. The aim of t...

Effect of miR-134 against myocardial hypoxia/reoxygenation injury by directly targeting NOS3 and regulating PI3K/Akt pathway

Acta cir. bras; 34 (8), 2019
Abstract Purpose To reveal the function of miR-134 in myocardial ischemia. Methods Real-time PCR and western blotting were performed to measure the expression of miR-134, nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) and apoptotic-associated proteins. Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), Hoe...
