Abstract
Vasodilatory shock, such as septic shock, requires personalized management which include adequate fluid therapy and vasopressor treatments. While these potent drugs are numerous, they all aim to counterbalance the vasodilatory effects of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Their specific receptors include α- and β-adrenergic receptors, arginine-vasopressin receptors, angiotensin II receptors and dopamine receptors. Consequently, these may be associated with severe adverse effects, including acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). As the risk of AMI depends on drug class, we aimed to review the evidence of plausible associations by performing a worldwide pharmacovigilance analysis based on the World Health Organization database, VigiBase®. Among 24 million reports, 104 AMI events were reported, and disproportionality analyses yielded significant association with all vasopressors, to the exception of selepressin. Furthermore, in a comprehensive literature review, we detailed mechanistic phenomena which may enhance vasopressor selection, in the course of treating vasodilatory shock.

Vasopressin and Its Analogues: From Natural Hormones to Multitasking Peptides. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23063068. [PMID: 35328489 PMCID: PMC8955888 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23063068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Human neurohormone vasopressin (AVP) is synthesized in overlapping regions in the hypothalamus. It is mainly known for its vasoconstricting abilities, and it is responsible for the regulation of plasma osmolality by maintaining fluid homeostasis. Over years, many attempts have been made to modify this hormone and find AVP analogues with different pharmacological profiles that could overcome its limitations. Non-peptide AVP analogues with low molecular weight presented good affinity to AVP receptors. Natural peptide counterparts, found in animals, are successfully applied as therapeutics; for instance, lypressin used in treatment of diabetes insipidus. Synthetic peptide analogues compensate for the shortcomings of AVP. Desmopressin is more resistant to proteolysis and presents mainly antidiuretic effects, while terlipressin is a long-acting AVP analogue and a drug recommended in the treatment of varicose bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. Recently published results on diverse applications of AVP analogues in medicinal practice, including potential lypressin, terlipressin and ornipressin in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2, are discussed.

Abstract
We report an autopsy case of a 24-year-old man with diagnoses of advanced alcoholic liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and esophageal variceal bleeding that presented extensive myocardial infarction after treatment with terlipressin. On postmortem examination the cut surface of the heart presented myocardial infarction implicating the left ventricle free wall, apex of the heart and ventricular septum. Light microscopic examination revealed that the extensive area of cardiac infarction was the result of the sum of diffuse foci of microinfarction of various ages interspersed with small clusters of preserved myocytes. Moreover, the epicardial vessels were patent while the small intramyocardial vessels presented thickened wall, apparent reduction in lumen diameter and disruption of endothelial cells indicative of spasm. The observations in this case allow clear insight into the involvement of the microcirculation in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction with the use of terlipressin.

Abstract
The majority of patients who undergo liver transplantation (LT) spend some time in the intensive care unit during the postoperative period. For some, this is an expected part of the immediate posttransplant recovery period, whereas for others, the stay is more prolonged because of preexisting conditions, intraoperative events, or postoperative complications. In this review, 4 topics that are particularly relevant to the postoperative intensive care of LT recipients are discussed, with an emphasis on current knowledge specific to this patient group. Infectious complications are the most common causes of early posttransplant morbidity and mortality. The common patterns of infection seen in patients after LT and their management are discussed. Acute kidney injury and renal failure are common in post-LT patients. Kidney injury identification, etiologies, and risk factors and approaches to management are reviewed. The majority of patients will require weaning from mechanical ventilation in the immediate postoperative period; the approach to this is discussed along with the approach for those patients who require a prolonged period of mechanical ventilation. A poorly functioning graft requires prompt identification and appropriate management if the outcomes are to be optimized. The causes of poor graft function are systematically reviewed, and the management of these grafts is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is widely used in the treatment of critical diseases with hypotension, but the reports about its effect on gastrointestinal motility are controversial. The purpose of this study was to characterize the role of AVP in the regulation of colonic motility and the underlying mechanism. METHODS The contraction of the circular muscle strips (CM) of colon in male rats was monitored by a polygraph. The expressions of cytoplasmic inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), I-κB, and the nuclear P65 in proximal colon were measured by Western blot. The V(1) receptors (V(1) Rs) and iNOS were localized by immunohistochemistry. The content of nitric oxide (NO) in the colon was measured by Griess reagent at the absorbance of 560 nm. KEY RESULTS Arginine vasopressin (10(-10) -10(-6) mol L(-1)) caused a concentration-dependent inhibition on CM contraction. Pretreatment with one of the following chemicals, including V-1880 (10(-7) mol L(-1)), TTX (10(-5) mol L(-1)), L-NAME (10(-4) mol L(-1)), NPLA (10(-7) mol L(-1)), SMT (10(-3) mol L(-1)), and PDTC (10(-3) mol L(-1)), attenuated the inhibitory effect of AVP on CM contraction. Arginine vasopressin increased the expression of iNOS and the content of NO in proximal colon. These effects were attenuated by pretreatment with PDTC (10(-3) mol L(-1)). Following AVP administration, the amount of cytoplasmic I-κB decreased, but that of nuclear P65 increased. Double immunofluorescence labeling revealed that V(1) Rs and iNOS were co-localized on the cells of myenteric plexus in proximal colon. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Arginine vasopressin inhibited the contraction of CM in proximal colon. This effect was mediated by NO produced from NF-κB-iNOS pathway and neuronal NOS activation in myenteric plexus.

The role of vasoactive agents in the resuscitation of microvascular perfusion and tissue oxygenation in critically ill patients. Intensive Care Med 2010; 36:2004-18. [PMID: 20811874 PMCID: PMC2981743 DOI: 10.1007/s00134-010-1970-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 82] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2009] [Accepted: 07/02/2010] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Purpose The clinical use of vasoactive drugs is not only intended to improve systemic hemodynamic variables, but ultimately to attenuate derangements in organ perfusion and oxygenation during shock. This review aims (1) to discuss basic physiology with respect to manipulating vascular tone and its effect on the microcirculation, and (2) to provide an overview of available clinical data on the relation between vasoactive drugs and organ perfusion, with specific attention paid to recent developments that have enabled direct in vivo observation of the microcirculation and concepts that have originated from it. Methods A MedLine search was conducted for clinical articles in the English language over the last 15 years pertainig to shock, sepsis, organ failure, or critically ill patients in combination with vasoactive drugs and specific variables of organ perfusion/oxygenation (e.g., tonometry, indocyanine clearance, laser Doppler, and sidestream dark field imaging). Results Eighty original papers evaluating the specific relationship between organ perfusion/oxygenation and the use of vasoactive drugs were identified and are discussed in light of physiological theory of vasomotor tone. Conclusions Solid clinical data in support of the idea that increasing blood pressure in shock improves microcirculatory perfusion/oxygenation seem to be lacking, and such a concept might not be in line with physiological theory of microcirculation as a low-pressure vascular compartment. In septic shock no beneficial effect on microcirculatory perfusion above a mean arterial pressure of 65 mmHg has been reported, but a wide range in inter-individual effect seems to exist. Whether improvement of microcirculatory perfusion is associated with better patient outcome remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Portal hypertension is triggered by vasodilation due to impaired contraction of extrahepatic vessels. Angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor-induced vasocontraction is mediated by G proteins and may be desensitized by recruitment of beta-arrestin-2 to the receptor. In this study, we analysed the interaction of AT(1) receptors with beta-arrestin-2 in the context of vascular hypocontractility in rats with CCl(4)-induced cirrhosis. METHODS Micronodular liver cirrhosis in rats (n = 15) was induced by regular CCl(4) exposure. Age-matched rats (n = 15) served as controls. Contractility of aortic rings was measured by myography. Protein expressions and phosphorylations were assessed by Western blot analysis, and AT(1) receptor interaction with beta-arrestin-2 by co-immunoprecipitation. RESULTS Aortic rings from CCl(4) rats were hypocontractile to angiotensin II independent of nitric oxide synthases (Nomega-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester 200 microM). Expression of the AT(1) receptor, Galpha(q/11) and the contraction-mediating effector Rho kinase was similar in aortas from both groups. Expression and AT(1) receptor binding of beta-arrestin-2 were up-regulated in aortas from CCl(4) rats. Stimulation of isolated aortas with exogenous angiotensin II caused recruitment of beta-arrestin-2 in aortas from noncirrhotic rats, but no further interaction of AT(1) receptors with beta-arrestin-2 was found in aortas from CCl(4) rats. While angiotensin II stimulation resulted in Rho kinase activation in aortas from noncirrhotic rats but not in aortas from CCl(4) rats, extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation in response to angiotensin II was observed in aortas from both groups. CONCLUSIONS Vascular hyporesponsiveness to angiotensin II in CCl(4) rats is due to enhanced interaction of the AT(1) receptor with beta-arrestin-2 and consecutively changed receptor function.
