Baroreflex and Cerebral Autoregulation Are Inversely
2460 NASR N et al. Circulation Journal ORIGINAL ARTICLE Official Journal of the Japanese Circulation Society http://www.j-circ.or.jp Hypertension and Circulatory Control Baroreflex and Cerebral Autoregulation Are Inversely Correlated Nathalie Nasr, MD, PhD; Marek Czosnyka, PhD; Anne Pavy-Le Traon, MD, PhD; Marc-Antoine Custaud, MD, PhD; Xiuyun Liu, BSc; Georgios V. Varsos, BSc; Vincent Larrue, MD Background: The relative stability of cerebral blood flow is maintained by the baroreflex and cerebral autoregulation (CA). We assessed the relationship between baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and CA in patients with atherosclerotic carotid stenosis or occlusion. Methods and Results: Patients referred for assessment of atherosclerotic unilateral >50% carotid stenosis or oc- clusion were included. Ten healthy volunteers served as a reference group. BRS was measured using the sequence method. CA was quantified by the correlation coefficient (Mx) between slow oscillations in mean arterial blood pres- sure and mean cerebral blood flow velocities from transcranial Doppler. Forty-five patients (M/F: 36/9), with a me- dian age of 68 years (IQR:17) were included. Thirty-four patients had carotid stenosis, and 11 patients had carotid occlusion (asymptomatic: 31 patients; symptomatic: 14 patients). The median degree of carotid steno-occlusive disease was 90% (IQR:18). Both CA (P=0.02) and BRS (P<0.001) were impaired in patients as compared with healthy volunteers. CA and BRS were inversely and strongly correlated with each other in patients (rho=0.58, P<0.001) and in healthy volunteers (rho=0.939; P<0.001). Increasing BRS remained strongly associated with im- paired CA on multivariate analysis (P=0.004). -

Both RDS and BPD are often associated with underlying pulmonary edema and clinical improvement has been documented with diuretic use.6 Diuretics also play a major role in the management of congestive heart failure (CHF), which is frequently the result of congenital heart disease (7). Other indications, include hypertension due to the presence of cardiac or renal dysfunction. Hypertension in children is often resistant to therapy, requiring the use of multidrug regimens for optimal blood pressure control (8). Control of fluid and electrolyte status in the pediatric population remains a therapeutic challenge due to the profound effects of age and development on renal function. Although diuretics have been used extensively in infants and children, few controlled studies have been conducted to define the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of diuretics in this population. Nonetheless, diuretic therapy has become an important part of the management of critically ill infants and children. This issue will review the mechanisms of action, monitoring parameters, and indications for use of diuretics in the pediatric population (1-5). Loop Diuretics Loop diuretics are the most potent of the available diuretics (4). -

Increased Baroreflex Sensitivity and Reduced Cardiovascular Reactivity
1873 Hypertens Res Vol.31 (2008) No.10 p.1873-1878 Original Article Increased Baroreflex Sensitivity and Reduced Cardiovascular Reactivity in Individuals with Chronic Low Blood Pressure Stefan DUSCHEK1), Anja DIETEL1), Rainer SCHANDRY1), and Gustavo A. REYES DEL PASO2) This study investigated aberrations in baroreflex function and cardiovascular reactivity related to the con- dition of chronic low blood pressure. In 40 hypotensive and 40 normotensive control subjects, blood pres- sures were continuously recorded at rest and during mental stress. Baroreflex sensitivity was determined in the time domain using sequence analysis. Beat-to-beat hemodynamic indices were estimated from the blood pressure waveforms by means of Modelflow analysis. In the hypotensive sample, a higher baroreflex sensitivity was observed under both conditions. Furthermore, this group experienced a less pronounced increase of blood pressure and stroke volume under stress. The findings underline the involvement of the baroreflex in the long-term setting of tonic blood pressure and suggest its relevance in the etiology of chronic hypotension. In addition, this study documents reduced cardiovascular reactivity and thus deficient hemodynamic adjustment to situational requirements in chronic low blood pressure.

Lu¨scher, MD, FACC, FRCP, FESC, Georg Noll, MD, FESC Zurich, Switzerland OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate baroreceptor regulation of sympathetic nerve activity and hemody- namics after inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. BACKGROUND Both the sympathetic nervous system and endothelium-derived substances play essential roles in cardiovascular homeostasis and diseases. Little is known about their interactions. METHODS In healthy volunteers, we recorded muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSA) with microneu- rography and central hemodynamics measured at different levels of central venous pressure induced by lower body negative pressure. G RESULTS After administration of the NO synthase inhibitor N -monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA, 1 mg/kg/min), systolic blood pressure increased by 24 mm Hg (p ϭ 0.01) and diastolic blood pressure by 12 mm Hg (p ϭ 0.009), while stroke volume index (measured by thermodilution) fell from 53 to 38 mL/min/m2 (p Ͻ 0.002). Administration of L-NMMA prevented the compensatory increase of heart rate, but not MSA, to orthostatic stress. The altered response of heart rate was not due to higher blood pressure, because heart rate responses were not altered during infusion of the alpha-1-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine (titrated to an equal increase of systolic blood pressure). -
The Bumetanide-Sensitive Na-K-2Cl Cotransporter NKCC1 As a Potential Target of a Novel Mechanism-Based Treatment Strategy for Neonatal Seizures
Neurosurg Focus 25 (3):E22, 2008 The bumetanide-sensitive Na-K-2Cl cotransporter NKCC1 as a potential target of a novel mechanism-based treatment strategy for neonatal seizures KRISTOPHER T. KAHLE, M.D., PH.D.,1 AND KEVIN J. STALEY, M.D.2 1Department of Neurosurgery and 2Division of Pediatric Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts Seizures that occur during the neonatal period do so with a greater frequency than at any other age, have profound con- sequences for cognitive and motor development, and are difficult to treat with the existing series of antiepileptic drugs. During development, ␥-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurotransmission undergoes a switch from excitatory to – – inhibitory due to a reversal of neuronal chloride (Cl ) gradients. The intracellular level of chloride ([Cl ]i) in immature neonatal neurons, compared with mature adult neurons, is about 20-40 mM higher due to robust activity of the chlo- ride-importing Na-K-2Cl cotransporter NKCC1, such that the binding of GABA to ligand-gated GABAA receptor- associated Cl– channels triggers Cl– efflux and depolarizing excitation. In adults, NKCC1 expression decreases and the – expression of the genetically related chloride-extruding K-Cl cotransporter KCC2 increases, lowering [Cl ]i to a level – such that activation of GABAA receptors triggers Cl influx and inhibitory hyperpolarization. The excitatory action of GABA in neonates, while playing an important role in neuronal development and synaptogenesis, accounts for the decreased seizure threshold, increased seizure propensity, and poor efficacy of GABAergic anticonvulsants in this age group. Bumetanide, a furosemide-related diuretic already used to treat volume overload in neonates, is a specific inhibitor of NKCC1 at low doses, can switch the GABA equilibrium potential of immature neurons from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing, and has recently been shown to inhibit epileptic activity in vitro and in vivo in animal models of neonatal seizures.
