摘要: AbstractThe development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in pediatric patients has been linked to the production arachidonic acid metabolite, thromboxane A2 (TxA2). The present study evaluated therapeutic effect furegrelate sodium, a synthase inhibitor, on PAH neonatal piglet model. Three-day-old piglets were exposed 21 days normoxia (N; 21% FIO2) or chronic hypoxia (CH; 10% FIO2). A third group received oral TxA2 (3 mg/kg, 2 3 times daily) at induction CH. In vivo hemodynamics confirmed 2.55-fold increase vascular resistance index (PVRI) CH (104±7 WU) compared N (40±2 WU). treated twice daily with failed show improved PVRI, but three lowered elevated PVRI by 34% 69±5 WU and ameliorated right ventricular hypertrophy. Microfocal X-ray computed tomography ...
