Some human newborns have a syndrome characterized by irreversible pulmonary hypertension and severe hypoxemia and by medial hypertrophy and adventitial thickening of pulmonary arteries. We considered that newborn calves made severely hypoxic might reproduce features of the human disease. When 2-day-old calves were placed at 4,300 m simulated altitude, pulmonary arterial pressure was increased and could be reversed by 100% O2. However, after 2 wk at 4,300 m, pulmonary arterial pressures were suprasystemic and there was right-to-left shunting probably through the foramen ovale and a patent but restrictive ductus arteriosus. Suprasystemic pulmonary pressure and hypoxemia persisted with 100% O2 breathing. Morphometrical examination of the lung arteries showed a markedly thickened adventitia with cellular proliferation and collagen and elastin deposition. There was increased medial thickness and distal muscularization of the pulmonary arteries associated with decreased luminal diameter. The rapid development of severe pulmonary hypertension and poor responsiveness to O2 was associated with increased arterial wall thickness, particularly involving the adventitia. Thus the pulmonary arterial circulation in these calves, which were placed at high altitude for 2 wk, exhibited features resembling persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborn infants. 相似文献

The administration of monocrotaline to rats causes pulmonary vascular leak within 1 wk followed in 2-3 wk by perivascular proliferation and fatal pulmonary hypertension. Possibly blocking the proliferation might block the pulmonary hypertension, providing insight into its mechanism. Because heparin, given as an antiproliferative agent, reduced hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in mice, it might also block monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension. Alternatively, anticoagulation could worsen the lung injury. We found that heparin (300 and 600 U/kg sc twice daily) inhibited clotting in rats given monocrotaline but did not change the vascular leak, the right ventricular pressure, the right ventricular hypertrophy, the increased medial thickness of the pulmonary arterioles, or the production of a slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis-like material by the lungs. A nonanticoagulant heparin fragment (2 mg/kg sc twice daily), given to avoid anticoagulation also did not influence the monocrotaline injury. Thus neither anticoagulant nor nonanticoagulant heparin either attenuated or worsened the measured effects of monocrotaline. 相似文献
