Does hypertonic saline induce prostacyclin production via extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK ) activation?
These data suggest that HTS induces PGI2 production in HUVECs. In addition, HTS and LPS induce activation of ERK which is required for PGI2 production. HTS resuscitation may improve microvascular circulation and decrease reperfusion injury via induction of PGI2 production by endothelial cells.
This study showed that the measurement most similar to home blood pressure measurement and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was blood pressure measured by the patient, and that home blood pressure measurement and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring had good prognostic value relative to "office measurements".
