Abstract
Morbidity and mortality risk increase considerably for patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Unfortunately, there are no comprehensive, evidence-based guidelines for perioperative evaluation and management of these patients. We present a brief review of the literature on perioperative outcomes for patients with PH and describe the implementation of a collaborative perioperative management program for these high-risk patients at a tertiary academic center.

Abstract
While angiotensin II blockade slows the progression of diabetic nephropathy, current data suggest that it alone cannot stop the disease process. New therapies or drug combinations will be required to further slow or halt disease progression. Inhibition of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) aimed at enhancing ECM degradation has shown therapeutic potential in diabetic nephropathy. Here, using a mouse model of type diabetes, the maximally therapeutic dose of the PAI-1-neutralizing mouse monoclonal antibody (MEDI-579) was determined and compared with the maximally effective dose of enalapril. We then examined whether addition of MEDI-579 to enalapril would enhance the efficacy in slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Untreated uninephrectomized diabetic db/db mice developed progressive albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis associated with increased expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, PAI-1, type IV collagen, and fibronectin from weeks 18 to 22, which were reduced by MEDI-579 at 3 mg/kg body wt, similar to enalapril given alone from weeks 12 to 22 Adding MEDI-579 to enalapril from weeks 18 to 22 resulted in further reduction in albuminuria and markers of renal fibrosis. Renal plasmin generation was dramatically reduced by 57% in diabetic mice, a decrease that was partially reversed by MEDI-579 or enalapril given alone but was further restored by these two treatments given in combination. Our results suggest that MEDI-579 is effective in slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy in db/db mice and that the effect is additive to ACEI. While enalapril is renal protective, the add-on PAI-1 antibody may offer additional renoprotection in progressive diabetic nephropathy via enhancing ECM turnover.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested the possibility that nocturnal light exposure affects many biological processes in rodents, especially the circadian rhythm, an endogenous oscillation of approximately 24 h. However, there is still insufficient information about the physiological effects of nocturnal light exposure. In this study, we examined the changes in gene expression and serum levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a major component of the fibrinolytic system that shows typical circadian rhythmicity, in C3H/He mice. Zeitgeber time (ZT) was assessed with reference to the onset of light period (ZT0). Exposure to fluorescent light (70 lux) for 1 h in the dark period (ZT14) caused a significant increase in hepatic Pai-1 gene expression at ZT16. Serum PAI-1 levels also tended to increase, albeit not significantly. Expression levels of the typical clock genes Bmal1, Clock, and Per1 were significantly increased at ZT21, ZT16, and ZT18, respectively. Exposure to nocturnal light significantly increased plasma adrenalin levels. The effects of nocturnal light exposure on Pai-1 expression disappeared in adrenalectomized mice, although the changes in clock genes were still apparent. In conclusion, our results suggest that nocturnal light exposure, even for 1 h, alters hepatic Pai-1 gene expression by stimulating the adrenal pathway. Adrenalin secreted from the adrenal gland may be an important signaling mediator of the change in Pai-1 expression in response to nocturnal light exposure.

Abstract
To evaluate the relationship between plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and angiotensin II (Ang II) changes during treatment with imidapril and candesartan in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome. A total of 84 hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome were randomized to imidapril 10 mg or candesartan 16 mg for 16 weeks. At weeks 4 and 8, there was a dose titration to imidapril 20 mg and candesartan 32 mg in nonresponders (systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >90 mm Hg). We evaluated, at baseline and after 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks, clinic blood pressure, Ang II and PAI-1 antigen. Both imidapril and candesartan induced a similar SBP/DBP reduction (-19.4/16.8 and -19.5/16.3 mm Hg, respectively, P<0.001 vs. baseline). Both drugs decreased PAI-1 antigen after 4 weeks of treatment, but only the PAI-1 lowering effect of imidapril was sustained throughout the 16 weeks (-9.3 ng ml(-1), P<0.01 vs. baseline), whereas candesartan increased PAI-1 (+6.5 ng ml(-1), P<0.05 vs. baseline and P<0.01 vs. imidapril). Imidapril significantly decreased Ang II levels (-14.6 pg ml(-1) at week 16, P<0.05 vs. baseline), whereas candesartan increased them (+24.2 pg ml(-1), P<0.01 vs. baseline and vs. imidapril). In both groups there was a positive correlation between Ang II and PAI-1 changes (r=0.61, P<0.001 at week 16 for imidapril, and r=0.37, P<0.005 at week 16 for candesartan). Imidapril reduced plasma PAI-1 and Ang II levels, whereas candesartan increased them. This suggests that the different effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and Ang II blockers on Ang II production has a role in their different influence on fibrinolysis.

Abstract
The 50 kDa glycoprotein plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) is the major physiological inhibitor of tissue-type and urokinase-type plasminogen activator. These two molecules convert inactive plasminogen into its fibrin-degrading form, plasmin. Plasma and tissue concentrations of PAI-1 are extremely low under normal circumstances but increase under pathologic conditions. This increase is mediated by many factors, including reactive oxygen species. Increased PAI-1 activity is associated with an increased risk of ischemic cardiovascular events and tissue fibrosis. Whereas the antifibrinolytic property of PAI-1 derives mainly from its inhibition of serine proteases, its profibrotic actions seem to derive from a capacity to stimulate interstitial macrophage recruitment and increase transcription of profibrotic genes, as well as from inhibition of serine proteases. Despite studies in mice that lack or overexpress PAI-1, the biological effects of this molecule in humans remain incompletely understood because of the complexity of the PAI-1-plasminogen-activator-plasmin system. The cardioprotective and renoprotective properties of some currently available drugs might be attributable in part to inhibition of PAI-1. The development of an orally active, high-affinity PAI-1 inhibitor will provide a potentially important pharmacological tool for further investigation of the role of PAI-1 and might offer a novel therapeutic strategy in renal and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
To test the hypothesis that angiotensin (Ang) II induces profibrotic gene expression through endogenous aldosterone, we measured the effect of 4 h infusion (600 ng/kg x min) of Ang II on tissue mRNA expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), preproendothelin-1 (ppET-1), TGF-beta, and osteopontin in wild-type (WT), aldosterone synthase-deficient (AS(-/-)), and AS(-/-) mice treated with aldosterone (either 500 ng/d for 7 d or 250 ng as a concurrent 4 h infusion). Ang II increased aldosterone in WT (P < 0.001) but not in AS(-/-) mice. Aldosterone (7 d) normalized basal aldosterone concentrations in AS(-/-) mice; however, there was no further effect of Ang II on aldosterone (P = NS). Basal cardiac and aortic PAI-1 and ppET-1 expression were similar in WT and AS(-/-) mice. Ang II-stimulated PAI-1 (P < 0.001) and ppET-1 expression (P = 0.01) was diminished in the heart of AS(-/-) mice; treatment with aldosterone for 4 h or 7 d restored PAI-1 and ppET-1 mRNA responsiveness to Ang II in the heart. Ang II increased PAI-1 (P = 0.01) expression in the aorta of AS(-/-) as well as WT mice. In the kidney, basal PAI-1, ppET-1, and TGF-beta mRNA expression was increased in AS(-/-) compared with WT mice and correlated with plasma renin activity. Ang II did not stimulate osteopontin or TGF-beta expression in the heart or kidney. Endogenous aldosterone contributes to the acute stimulatory effect of Ang II on PAI-1 and ppET-1 mRNA expression in the heart; renin activity correlates with basal profibrotic gene expression in the kidney.

Abstract
In the setting of high salt intake, aldosterone stimulates fibrosis in the heart, great vessels, and kidney of rats. We used uninephrectomized rats treated with angiotensin II and placed on a high salt diet to exaggerate renal fibrosis. We then tested whether mineralocorticoid receptor blockade by spironolactone or aldosterone synthase inhibition by FAD286 have similar effects on end-organ damage and gene expression. Individually, both drugs prevented the hypertensive response to uninephrectomy and high salt intake but not when angiotensin II was administered. Following 4 weeks of treatment with FAD286, plasma aldosterone was reduced, whereas spironolactone increased aldosterone at 8 weeks of treatment. Angiotensin II and high salt treatment caused albuminuria, azotemia, renovascular hypertrophy, glomerular injury, increased plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and osteopontin mRNA expression, as well as tubulointerstitial fibrosis in the kidney. Both drugs prevented these renal effects and attenuated cardiac and aortic medial hypertrophy while reducing osteopontin and transforming growth factor-beta mRNA expression in the aorta. The two drugs also reduced cardiac interstitial fibrosis but had no effect on that of the perivascular region. Although spironolactone enhanced angiotensin II and salt-stimulated PAI-1 mRNA expression in aorta and heart, spironolactone and FAD286 prevented renal PAI-1 mRNA protein expression. Our study shows that mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism and aldosterone synthase inhibition similarly decrease hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis of the kidney and heart caused by angiotensin II and high salt.
