概括
由于氧化应激增加和氧化物生物可用性降低,黑人患者表现出更强的皮肤血管收缩,影响血管功能和高血压风险.
科学领域:
- 生理学
- 血管生物学
- 心血管健康
背景情况:
- 高血压在美国非西班牙裔黑人中最为普遍,可能与血管功能受损有关.
- 虽然在黑人中观察到皮肤血管度升高,但根本的机制尚未完全理解.
研究的目的:
- 研究非西班牙裔黑人的血管功能减弱背后的生理机制.
- 为了比较黑人和白人参与者的皮肤血管反应.
主要方法:
- 在黑人和白人参与者中,通过皮肤输注上腺素 (或无抗氧化剂) 或L-NAME (氧化合成酶抑制剂).
- 测量了皮肤血管导电,以评估血管度.
主要成果:
- 与白人参与者相比,黑人参与者表现出较低的绝对基线和上腺素诱导的皮肤血管导电性.
- 在两组中,酸增加了导电性,而L-NAME仅在白人参与者中降低了导电性.
- 在黑人群体中观察到较大的强化血管收缩,这表明氧化应激的作用.
结论:
- 黑人肌肤血管收缩的增加可能是由氧化应激增加引起的,导致氧化的生物可用性降低.
- 这些发现为黑人血压差异的生理基础提供了洞察力.

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation
491
Palpation involves feeling the body to evaluate texture, size, consistency, and tenderness for assessing cardiovascular health. The following steps are organized in a head-to-toe order:
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives
2.2K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Pigmentation
2.6K
The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...

Autoregulation of Blood Flow
2.7K
Autoregulation mechanisms are characterized by their inherent capacity for self-regulation without necessitating specific nervous stimulation or endocrine control. These mechanisms facilitate the adjustment of blood flow and, therefore, perfusion specific to each tissue region. This self-regulation encompasses chemical signals and myogenic controls.
Chemical Signaling in Autoregulation
Chemical signaling operates at the precapillary sphincter level, inciting either contraction or relaxation....

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply
2.7K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits. Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Veins
6.8K
Veins are an integral part of our circulatory system, serving as the blood vessels that transport blood from all body regions to the heart. They are a network of hollow tubes that carry blood low in oxygen from the body's cells back to the heart for reoxygenation. Veins are crucial for maintaining the body's overall fluid balance and the continuous circulation of blood.
Structure of Veins:
The structure of veins is specifically designed to assist in the low-pressure transportation of...
