  ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: Although, there are some evidences on the contribution of increased sympathoadrenergic activity on long-term nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition induced hypertension, the contribution of sympathetic activity to the development of this model of hypertension are not sufficiently studied. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of clonidine on blood pressure and vascular alpha-adrenergic receptors in the long-term N (omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) treated rats. METHODS: Sixty two Wistar rats were randomly divided into 8 groups. All groups were administrated L-NNA and/or clonidine in two different concentrations for ten days. L-NNA was administrated in concentrations of 15 and 45 mg/100ml to L-NNA15 and L-NNA45 groups, respectively. Clonidine was also administrated in concentrations of 150 and 225 microg/100ml to KLO150 and KLO225 groups, respectively. Blood pressure and heart rates were measured with tail-cuff method and plasma NOx levels with spectrophotometer. The a-adrenoreceptors responses were evaluated in thoracic aorta rings in "in vitro" conditions. RESULTS: Clonidine prevented the L-NNA induced hypertension dose-dependently, but did not effect the heart rates decreased by L-NNA. The heart rates and blood pressure of normotensive rats were not changed by clonidine alone. Plasma NOx levels increased in L-NNA15 group (0.62+/-0.11 micromol/L, p=0.003) but did not change in other groups. The sensitivity of aorta to phenylephrine (-7.33+/-0.11 micromol/L, p=0.001) and clonidine (-7.60+/-0.27 micromol/L, p=0.003) in L-NNA45 group and phenylephrine (-6.94+/-0.13 micromol/L, p=0.002) in L-NNA15 group increased. The sensitivity of aorta to phenylephrine (7.93+/-0.16 micromol/L, p=0.001) in KLO225 group and to clonidine (-7.20+/-0.10 micromol/L, p=0.009) in KLO150 group increased. CONCLUSION: This study supports the idea suggesting that symphathetic nervous system activation is partly responsible for the development of the long-term NOS inhibition induced hypertension. In conclusion, it was shown for the first time that clonidine prevents the development of long-term NOS inhibition induced hypertension dose-dependently.

  ABSTRACT: Transvenous permanent cardiac pacing (TPCP) has become a frequently used therapeutic modality in children. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of pediatric TPCP regarding problems and complications. Records of 155 patients (mean age 9.2+/-4.7 years) who underwent implantation of TPCP between 1993 and 2003 were reviewed retrospectively. Indications for pacing included atrioventricular block in 76% and sinus node dysfunction in 22% patients. In 92 patients, bradyarrhythmia was secondary to cardiac surgery. Percutaneous subclavian puncture was used for lead implantation in 96% of patients. Pacemakers were placed to the right side of the chest in 84% and in the subpectoral area in 68%. Pacing modes were VVIR in 72%, VDD in 13%, AAIR in 8%, and DDD in 7% of patients at the initial implantation time. Of all electrodes, 95% had steroid elution and 53% had an active fixation mechanism. Mean follow-up period was 37+/-28 (1-120) months. Forty-five (29%) patients had 21 minor and 45 major complications. Forty-four of 76 revisions were due to lead problems and battery extraction. Most of the lead problems were dislodgment and stretching (n=14). Kaplan Meier analysis of lead survival did not show any difference between lead types. During the follow-up, there were three sudden unexpected deaths. In children, TPCP can be used safely and effectively. Although, complications are possible and sometimes lead or generator revision may be necessary, long-term outcome is favorable.
