Background And Aims: An impaired visceral perfusion caused by pneumoperitoneum may contribute to morbidity after laparoscopic surgery. The following three therapeutic concepts: increasing cardiac preload, controlled vasodilation, or selective sympathetic antagonism, were evaluated regarding a possible increase of visceral blood flow during pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide.
Methods: Forty three pigs were assigned to treatment with an increase of preload and vasodilation (group A) or selective sympathetic antagonism with esmolol (group B). In both groups, pigs were assigned to head-up, head-down, or supine position. Perfusion of the vena porta and renal artery was measured by transonic volume flow meters and documented before capnoperitoneum, after induction of a 14-mmHg capnoperitoneum in each body position, after controlled vasodilation with sodium nitroprusside, and after controlled increase of intravascular volume by colloidal infusion.
Results: Increasing intravascular volume improved portal blood flow in all body positions (p<0.05), but not renal blood flow. Medication of esmolol did not alter the measured parameters in any body position compared to control. Vasodilation with sodium nitroprusside reduced renal blood flow in supine and in head-up position.
Conclusion: An optimal intravascular volume was most effective in improving portal blood flow during capnoperitoneum in this trial. Esmolol had no negative effects on portal and renal blood flow. Patients with renal dysfunction might be treated carefully with sodium nitroprusside during capnoperitoneum.

There is currently a lack of pathological research on the hair loss caused by stress, and there is no effective treatment available. It has been previously reported that stress can cause sympathetic nerve activation and release of norepinephrine, which binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors and causes a series of chemical reactions. Propranolol, as a beta-2 adrenergic receptors blocker, competitively antagonizes the effects of norepinephrine.

Heart failure (HF) is characterized by autonomic nervous system (ANS) imbalance and low-grade chronic inflammation. The bidirectional relationship between the ANS and immune system (IS) is named "neuroimmune cross-talk" (NICT), and is based on common signaling molecules, receptors, and pathways. NICT may be altered in HF, and neuroinflammation seems to be a main driver of HF progression.

Beta-blockers are commonly used medications that antagonize β-adrenoceptors, reducing sympathetic nervous system activity. Emerging evidence suggests that beta-blockers may also have anticancer effects and help overcome drug resistance in cancer treatment. This review summarizes the contribution of different isoforms of beta-adrenoceptors in cancer progression, the current preclinical and clinical data on associations between beta-blockers use and cancer outcomes, as well as their ability to enhance responses to chemotherapy and other standard therapies.

Aging is a non-modifiable understudied risk factor for hypertension. We hypothesized that sympathetically mediated activation of renal sodium reabsorption drives age-dependent hypertension and the salt sensitivity of blood pressure (BP). Using 3-, 8-, and 16-month-old male and female Sprague-Dawley rats as a model of normal aging, we assessed BP, indices of sympathetic tone, and the physiological responses to acute and chronic sodium challenge including sodium chloride cotransporter (NCC) regulation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how electroacupuncture stimulation (ES) affects sympathetic innervation in brown adipose tissue (BAT) through the BMP8B-NRG4-ErbB4 signaling pathway, with different effects depending on the stimulation site.
- Mice fed a high-fat diet were used to measure BAT thermogenesis and metabolism, revealing that ES on forelimbs and abdomen significantly increased sympathetic nerve activity (SNA), while hindlimb stimulation had limited effects.
- Results indicated that ES enhances catecholaminergic signals in BAT via specific neural pathways and that blocking ErbB4 disrupts the metabolic benefits of ES, highlighting the potential of ES in improving BAT function.
