    JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2008, 59, Suppl 2, 231238 www.jpp.krakow.pl Review article H. CICHO¯-LACH, K. CELIÑSKI, M. S£OMKA, B. KASZTELAN-SZCZERBIÑSKA PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF PORTAL HYPERTENSION Department of Gastroenterology Medical University of Lublin, Poland In last years significant progress in recognizing mechanisms of portal hypertension pathophysiology was done. However, some unclear topics in this disease still exist. Portal hypertension is primarily caused by the increase in resistance to portal outflow and secondly by an increase in splanchnic blood flow. Portal hypertension is associated with changes in the intrahepatic, systemic, and portosystemic collateral circulation. Alterations in vasoreactivity (vasodilation and vasoconstriction) play a central role in the pathophysiology of portal hypertension by contributing to increased intrahepatic resistance, hyperdynamic circulation, and expansion of the collateral circulation. Among vasoactive substances which are activated in portal hypertension nitric oxide (NO) is considered as the most important vasodilator. Endothelin-1 and cyclooxygenase-derived prostaglandins are the main vasoconstrictor factors. The imbalance between the hyperresponsiveness and overproduction of vasoconstrictors and the hyporesponsiveness and impaired production of vasodilators are the mechanisms responsible of the increased vascular tone in the sinusoidal area of the liver. New concepts in the pathophysiology of portal hypertension find the significant role of hepatic stellate cells activated by endothelial factors which cause vascular remodeling as an adaptive response of the portal vessels wall. The most frequent causes of portal hypertension include portal vein thrombosis, storage diseases of the liver, hepatic cirrhosis (independent of etiology), hepatic veins thrombosis and schistosomiasis. Understanding the pathophysiology of portal hypertension could be of great utility in preventing and curing the complications of portal hypertension, such as esophageal varices, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites.

The anatomical scientific data of poultry is important to support the recent researches either for illustrations in academic studies or clinically in diagnosis and treatment of some poultry nutritional diseases. The current investigation was performed on twenty broiler chickens of both sexes. The chickens were anaesthetized, slaughtered then the venous system was flushed with a normal saline to anatomically investigate the distribution of hepatic portal veins both intra and extrahepatic, as well as the hepatic venous and biliary duct systems. The fowl had two hepatic portal veins draining the gastrointestinal tract with its associated organs as spleen and pancreas. The left hepatic portal vein was small, restricted to a limited portion of left hepatic lobe and had been constituted by five main venous tributaries draining the proventriculus, gizzard and pylorus, while the right hepatic portal vein was the largest, receiving the proventriculosplenic, gastropancreaticoduodenal and common mesenteric veins then piercing the right hepatic lobe to be distributed in both hepatic segments through right and left divisions. The fowl has two hepatic portal veins differed in size and distribution. A characteristic imaginary trapezoid shape was formed by some tributaries draining the caudoventral part of the gizzard.

  • Cirrhosis and Its Complications Catch This Liver Scarring Problem Early, Because Its Effects Can Be Life-Threatening
    Cirrhosis and Its Complications Catch this liver scarring problem early, because its effects can be life-threatening By Scott R. Snyder, BS, NREMT-P, Sean M. Kivlehan, MD, MPH, NREMT-P, & Kevin T. Collopy, BA, FP-C, CCEMT-P, NREMT-P, WEMT This month’s CE article looks at cirrhosis and its complications. In an attempt to best understand the signs and symptoms and progression of this disease, we will review the anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of the liver and cirrhosis and the clinical manifestations of the disease and its complications. ANATOMY OF THE LIVER The liver is the largest visceral organ in the body, and the majority of its mass is located in the upper right abdominal quadrant and extends into the upper left quadrant, lying directly below the diaphragm. It weighs about 3.3 lbs. (1.5 kg) in the average adult male. The liver is encased in a tough, fi brous capsule (Glisson’s capsule) and covered by a layer of visceral peritoneum. It is held in place in the abdomen by several ligaments, including the falciform, round and coronary ligaments. The gallbladder is a small, hollow, pear-shaped muscular sac that lies on the posterior surface of the liver. While not a true part of the liver, it works closely with the liver to store and secrete bile produced in the liver to aid digestion. Blood Supply The liver is the largest blood reservoir in the body, receiving about 25% of the cardiac output. It is unique in that it has a double blood supply, receiving blood from both the hepatic portal vein and hepatic arteries.
