Refractory hypotension induced by Sheehan syndrome with pituitary crisis: A case report.

The present study reported on an unusual case of refractory hypotension induced by Sheehan syndrome with pituitary crisis and explored the causes and treatment of hypotension in hypopiptuitarism. Refractory hypotension is a rare and severe complication of longstanding hypopituitarism induced by Sheehan syndrome with pituitary crisis. A 48-year-old Chinese woman with pituitary crisis due to Sheehan syndrome developed refractory hypotension and received longstanding vasopressor blood pressure support and hormone replacement therapy.

Kudiezi Injection(®) Alleviates Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption After Ischemia-Reperfusion in Rats.

Objective: This study was designed to examine the effect of KDZ, on the BBB disruption in rat underwent MCAO and reperfusion.

Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (260-280 g) were subjected to 60 minutes MCAO followed by reperfusion. KDZ (4 mL/kg) was administrated before ischemia.

Association of serum omentin-1 levels with coronary artery disease.

Aim: Omentin-1, a novel adipokine expressed in visceral adipose tissue, is negatively correlated with insulin resistance and obesity. Decreased omentin-1 expression has been found in many chronic inflammatory diseases. However, the role of omentin-1 in coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been elucidated.
