          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Reconhecer a interferência do captopril na cicatrização de feridas cutâneas de ratos hipertensos. MÉTODOS: Distribuíram-se 111 ratos em quatro grupos: controle normotenso (N=30); controle hipertenso (N=30), os quais receberam 1 ml/dia de solução de cloreto de sódio a 0.9% por via oral; grupo experimento (N=31), hipertensos que receberam 7,5mg/kg/dia de captopril e um grupo aferição (N=20), 10 hipertensos e 10 normotensos, nos quais aferiu-se a pressão na aorta abdominal, no último dia de experimento. Após 15 dias de medicação, fez-se uma incisão da pele e da tela subcutânea, na região médio-dorsal dos grupos I, II e III, seguida de síntese. Ressecaram-se as cicatrizes de 10 animais de cada grupo, no 4.º, 7.º e 14.º dias após a operação, que divididas em duas partes foram enviadas para a tensiometria e para análise histológica. RESULTADOS: A pressão arterial média de 83,18 ± 7,51 mmHg nos normotensos e 151,36 ± 10,51 mmHg nos hipertensos. As cicatrizes dos hipertensos tratados e não tratados eram menos resistentes que as dos normotensos, nos tempos iniciais (p<0,05) e que ao 14.º dia as resistências se igualaram. Não houve diferença entre o grupo tratado e o não tratado. A densidade de colágeno total foi maior nos normotensos em todos os tempos (p<0,05) e não houve diferença entre hipertensos tratados e não tratados. A epitelização, a reação inflamatória e a formação do tecido de granulação foi semelhante nos três grupos. CONCLUSÕES: O captopril, em ratos, não modifica a cicatrização, ficando as diferenças relacionadas à hipertensão.

          BACKGROUND: We evaluated the influence of captopril on the skin wound healing process of hypertensive rats. METHODS: 111 rats were placed in 4 groups: normotensive control (N=30); hypertensive control (N=30), which received an oral daily dose of saline solution 0,9%; group experiment (N=31) was treated with 7.5mg/kg/day of captopril; and an aferition group (N=20) with 10 hypertensive and 10 normotensive animals in which arterial blood pressure was mesured in the aorta in the last day of the experiment. After 15 days of treatment, an skin incision of 4 cm was made in the animals. Samples of the dorsal wall scar were taken 4, 7 and 14 days after the last procedure. The wounds were excised and divided in 2 pieces. They were sent to tensiontrial and histological analysis. RESULTS: The aferition group showed mean arterial blood pressure of 82.5±7.55 mmHg in the normotensive animals and 150.5± 10.66 mmHg in the hypertensive ones. The resistance analysis showed that the scars of treated and untreated hypertensives were less resistant than those of normotensives rats in the initial days (p<0.05) and that on the 14th day the resistances became similar. There were no diferences among treated and untreated groups. Total collagen had higher density in normotensives rats throughout the study (p<0.05) and there were no diferences among treated and untreated hypertensive rats. Epitelization, inflammatory response and granulation tissue formation were similar in all groups. CONCLUSION: Captopril, doesn't modify the wound healing process in rats, being the differences due to hypertension.

          Mechanics and Composition of Human Subcutaneous Resistance Arteries in Essential Hypertension

          —Mechanical properties of arteries are altered in some rat models of hypertension, and this may influence peripheral resistance and blood pressure as well as some of the complications of hypertension. It has usually been assumed that arterial wall stiffness is increased in hypertension, although recent studies suggest that this may not necessarily be the case in large arteries. We determined whether the mechanics of human resistance arteries are altered in hypertension. Subcutaneous resistance arteries (lumen diameter<300 μm) were isolated from hypertensive and normotensive subjects of similar ages (46±3 and 43±4 years, respectively). Vessels were mounted in a pressurized myograph, deactivated, and exposed to intraluminal pressures ranging from 3 to 140 mm Hg. At each pressure, lumen and media dimensions were measured. Media-to-lumen ratio and media width were greater in hypertensive vessels, reducing wall stress ( P <0.01), whereas media cross section was similar in vessels from both groups. Isobaric elastic modulus (which is influenced by vessel geometry and by wall component stiffness) was lower in hypertensive vessels ( P <0.01). Stiffness of wall components (slope of incremental elastic modulus versus stress, which is geometry-independent) was significantly lower in hypertensive vessels (8.2±0.7) versus normotensive vessels (11.0±1.0, P <0.05), whereas distensibility was unchanged. Electron microscopic analysis of the media of the small arteries showed a greater collagen to elastin ratio ( P <0.05) in the media of vessels from hypertensive patients. In conclusion, the stiffness of wall components (slope of elastic modulus versus stress) is not increased but is in fact decreased in subcutaneous resistance arteries from patients with mild essential hypertension. Reduced stiffness of resistance arteries from hypertensive patients does not appear to relate to changes in volume density of extracellular matrix components but may be the result of changes in extracellular matrix architecture or cell-matrix attachment, which remains to be established.

            Effects of antihypertensive treatment in one-clip, two kidney hypertension in rats.

            In order to investigate the consequences of antihypertensive therapy on hormonal and renal parameters in one-clip, two kidney renovascular hypertension, we compared the effects of converting enzyme inhibition (CEI) with those of tripletherapy (clonidine, dihydralazine and furosemide) in this experimental model in rats. The treatment period was initiated four weeks after application of the clip and was continued for five weeks. In plasma, renin was increased and renin substrate was negatively correlated to plasma renin. Hypertension was associated with activation of the renin angiotensin system in both plasma and kidney. The degree of activation of the renin-angiotensin system in the clipped kidney and its suppression in the unclipped kidney was evaluated by two methods, renal renin content and semi-quantification of juxtaglomerular hyperplasia by immunofluorescent renin. These two methods were correlated. During the treatment period, average systolic blood pressure was 144 +/- 13 mmHg in the CEI treated group (HT1) which was not significantly different from the value found in the sham-operated group (139 +/- 4 mmHg; C2). Blood pressure, however, was lowered only to 173 +/- 18 mmHg in the group treated with tripletherapy (HT2). In control hypertensive animals, the wt of the clipped kidney did not decrease whereas significant hypertrophy was present in the unclipped kidney. Tripletherapy did not alter this relationship, whereas converting enzyme inhibition decreased kidney wt in the clipped kidney and increased further the hypertrophy of the contralateral unclipped kidney. A histological examination revealed that hypertensive microangiopathy was a predominant feature in the unclipped kidney of the untreated hypertensive group and of the group treated with tripletherapy, these lesions were completely absent in the CEI treated group. In the CEI treated group, however, ischemic lesions during this treatment were found to be decreased in the contralateral unclipped kidney and increased in the clipped kidney by comparison with untreated hypertensive rats. These renal lesions observed in the clipped kidney were most likely related to the normalization of blood pressure or to a disturbance of intrarenal mechanisms normally mediated by the renin-angiotensin system during stenosis of a renal artery.
