  • Infliximab, a TNF-Α Inhibitor, Reduces 24-H Ambulatory
    Journal of Human Hypertension (2014) 28, 165–169 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9240/14 www.nature.com/jhh ORIGINAL ARTICLE Infliximab, a TNF-a inhibitor, reduces 24-h ambulatory blood pressure in rheumatoid arthritis patients S Yoshida1, T Takeuchi1, T Kotani1, N Yamamoto1, K Hata1, K Nagai1, T Shoda1,STakai2, S Makino1 and T Hanafusa1 Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) is an important mediator in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and hypertension. TNF-a inhibitors improve clinical symptoms and inhibit joint destruction in RA, but their effect on blood pressure (BP) has not been fully investigated. We measured 24-h BP using an ambulatory BP monitor in 16 RA patients treated with a TNF-a inhibitor, infliximab, to investigate its influence on BP and its association with the regulatory factors of BP and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and sympathetic nervous systems. Infliximab significantly reduced the 24-h systolic BP (SBP) from 127.4±21.8 to 120.1±23.4 mm Hg (Po0.0001). Particularly, morning BP (0600–0800 h) decreased from 129.7±19.7 to 116.9±13.4 mm Hg (Po0.0001), and daytime BP decreased from 131.8±15.1 to 122.5±13.7 mm Hg (Po0.0001). Infliximab significantly reduced the plasma level of norepinephrine and plasma renin activity (PRA) (from 347.5±180.7 to 283.0±181.8 pg ml À 1 and 2.6±2.7 to 2.1±2.9 ng ml À 1 h À 1, respectively) but did not significantly reduce the plasma levels of dopamine and epinephrine.

  • Anatomy Review: Blood Vessel Structure & Function
    Anatomy Review: Blood Vessel Structure & Function Graphics are used with permission of: Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings (http://www.aw-bc.com) Page 1. Introduction • The blood vessels of the body form a closed delivery system that begins and ends at the heart. Page 2. Goals • To describe the general structure of blood vessel walls. • To compare and contrast the types of blood vessels. • To relate the blood pressure in the various parts of the vascular system to differences in blood vessel structure. Page 3. General Structure of Blood Vessel Walls • All blood vessels, except the very smallest, have three distinct layers or tunics. The tunics surround the central blood-containing space - the lumen. 1. Tunica Intima (Tunica Interna) - The innermost tunic. It is in intimate contact with the blood in the lumen. It includes the endothelium that lines the lumen of all vessels, forming a smooth, friction reducing lining. 2. Tunica Media - The middle layer. Consists mostly of circularly-arranged smooth muscle cells and sheets of elastin. The muscle cells contract and relax, whereas the elastin allows vessels to stretch and recoil. 3. Tunica Adventitia (Tunica Externa) - The outermost layer. Composed of loosely woven collagen fibers that protect the blood vessel and anchor it to surrounding structures. Page 4. Comparison of Arteries, Capillaries, and Veins • Let's compare and contrast the three types of blood vessels: arteries, capillaries, and veins. • Label the artery, capillary and vein. Also label the layers of each. • Arteries are vessels that transport blood away from the heart. Because they are exposed to the highest pressures of any vessels, they have the thickest tunica media.

  • Arteries.Pdf
    Arteries Although blood vessels differ in size, distribution, and function, structurally they share many common features. As in the heart, the walls of blood vessels consist of three major coats or tunics. Differences in the appearance and functions of the various parts of the circulatory system are reflected by structural changes in these tunics or by reduction and even omission of some of the layers. From the lumen outward, the wall of a blood vessel consists of a tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia. The tunica intima corresponds to and is continuous with the endocardium of the heart. It consists of an endothelium of flattened squamous cells resting on a basal lamina and is supported by a subendothelial connective tissue. The tunica media is the equivalent of the myocardium of the heart and is the layer most variable both in size and structure. Depending on the function of the vessel, this layer contains variable amounts of smooth muscle and elastic tissue. The tunica adventitia also varies in thickness in different parts of the vascular circuit. It consists mainly of collagenous connective tissue and corresponds to the epicardium of the heart, but it lacks mesothelial cells. As arteries course away from the heart they undergo successive divisions to provide numerous branches whose calibers progressively decrease. The changes in size and the corresponding changes in structure of the vessel wall are continuous, but three classes of arteries can be distinguished: large elastic or conducting arteries, medium-sized muscular or distributing arteries, and small arteries and arterioles. A characteristic feature of the entire arterial side of the blood vasculature system is the prominence of smooth muscle in the tunica media.

  • Microscopic Anatomy of the Human Vertebro-Basilar System
    MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY OF THE HUMAN VERTEBRO-BASILAR SYSTEM RENATO P. CHOPARD * — GUILHERME DE ARAÚJO LUCAS * ADRIANA LAUDANA* SUMMARY — Concerning the structure of connective-muscular components the authors stu­ died the walls of the terminal segments of the vertebral arteries as well as the basilar artery, utilizing the following staining methods: Azan modified by Heideinheim, Weigert's resor-¬ cin-fuchsin, and Weigert modified by van Gieson. It was established that wall of the verte-¬ bro-basilar system exhibits a mixed structure, muscular and elastic, by means of which the vessels are adjusted to the specific blood circulation conditions. Thus, vertebral arteries show in the most external layer of tunica media an evident external elastic lamina. In contrast, in the basilar artery the elastic tissue is localized mainly in the tunica media, and is distributed heterogeneously. In its caudal segment the elastic fibers are situated in the most internal layer of tunica media, and in the cranial segment the elastic component is homogenously distributed in the whole of tunica media. Anatomia microscópica do sistema, vértebro basilar no homem. RESUMO — Os autores estudam a disposição dos componentes fibromusculare» da parede das artérias vertebrais em seus segmentos terminais e a artéria basilar, usando os seguintes métodos de coloração: Azan modificado por Heidenheim, resorcina-fucsina de Weigert e Weigert modificado por van Gieson. O sistema vértebro-basilar apresentou em sua parede estrutura mista, muscular e elástica, pela qual os vasos se adaptam às condições circulató­ rias especificas daquela região. Besta forma, ias artérias vertebrais apresentam na camada mais externa da túnica média uma lâmina elástica limitante externa evidente, ao contrário do encontrado na artéria basilar.

  • Blood Vessels
    BLOOD VESSELS Blood vessels are how blood travels through the body. Whole blood is a fluid made up of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes), and plasma. It supplies the body with oxygen. SUPERIOR AORTA (AORTIC ARCH) VEINS & VENA CAVA ARTERIES There are two basic types of blood vessels: veins and arteries. Veins carry blood back to the heart and arteries carry blood from the heart out to the rest of the body. Factoid! The smallest blood vessel is five micrometers wide. To put into perspective how small that is, a strand of hair is 17 micrometers wide! 2 BASIC (ARTERY) BLOOD VESSEL TUNICA EXTERNA TUNICA MEDIA (ELASTIC MEMBRANE) STRUCTURE TUNICA MEDIA (SMOOTH MUSCLE) Blood vessels have walls composed of TUNICA INTIMA three layers. (SUBENDOTHELIAL LAYER) The tunica externa is the outermost layer, primarily composed of stretchy collagen fibers. It also contains nerves. The tunica media is the middle layer. It contains smooth muscle and elastic fiber. TUNICA INTIMA (ELASTIC The tunica intima is the innermost layer. MEMBRANE) It contains endothelial cells, which TUNICA INTIMA manage substances passing in and out (ENDOTHELIUM) of the bloodstream. 3 VEINS Blood carries CO2 and waste into venules (super tiny veins). The venules empty into larger veins and these eventually empty into the heart. The walls of veins are not as thick as those of arteries. Some veins have flaps of tissue called valves in order to prevent backflow. Factoid! Valves are found mainly in veins of the limbs where gravity and blood pressure VALVE combine to make venous return more 4 difficult.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.
