Article Abstract
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is an essential mechanism adapting lung perfusion to regional ventilation. Perturbations to HPV, such as those occurring in pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome and liver failure, can result in arterial hypoxemia. Under conditions of general hypoxia, HPV increases pulmonary vascular resistance and thus causes acute pulmonary hypertension. Despite intensive research, the underlying mechanisms of HPV have not been fully elucidated. Deciphering signalling pathways that result in HPV could suggest novel approaches to address a failure of HPV, as well as for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension associated with HPV. Within this context, this review focuses on current concepts in the oxygen sensing mechanisms that underlie HPV.

Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Institute of Geriatric Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, No.1 Da Hua Road, Dong Dan, Dongcheng District, Beijing, 100730, PR China.
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) severity and fat, bone, and muscle indices.
Methods: This study included 102 patients with OSAHS and retrospectively reviewed their physical examination data. All patients underwent polysomnography, body composition analysis, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography (CT) and blood test.
Obesity and hypoxia have differential effects on myocardial innervation in the right ventricle of the male mouse heart.

Obesity, along with hypoxia, is known to be a risk factor for pulmonary hypertension (PH), which can lead to right ventricular hypertrophy and eventually heart failure. Both obesity and PH influence the autonomic nervous system (ANS), potentially aggravating changes in the right ventricle (RV). This study investigates the combined effects of obesity and hypoxia on the autonomic innervation of the RV in a mouse model.

Background And Aims: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) can cause delayed gastric emptying, raising concern for retained gastric contents (RGCs) during endoscopy and adverse anesthesia events. We aimed to determine associations between GLP1RA and endoscopy and anesthesia outcomes.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study examined patients prescribed GLP1RA who underwent outpatient endoscopy stratified by exposure at the time of endoscopy.

The pathogenesis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension may be multifactorial and requires further studies. We explored alterations in pulmonary artery endothelial cells under the hypoxic and elevated interleukin-17 conditions that are commonly present in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. We measured the serum interleukin-17 levels in 10 chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients and 10 healthy control persons.
