the objective of this study was to determine the chronology of changes in blood pressure in renalhypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in rats. saw blades with the thickness of 0.21-0.22 mm wereused to make clips sized 4 × 2 × 2 mm from a piece of 2-mm thick plexiglass. rats were subjected to shamoperation or left renal arterial clipping, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks later blood pressure, a...

background: we investigated coronary angiogenesis and serum vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) and its soluble receptor-1 (sflt-1) concentrations in two-kidney one-clip (2k1c) hypertensive rats before and after reversal of hypertension. methods: the animal groups were: (i) sham-clipped for 12 weeks; (ii) 2k1c for 12 weeks; (iii) sham-clipped for 12 weeks and unclipped for 12 weeks; and (...

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of teach-back method and video clip teaching on the sense of coherence of mothers with children suffering from asthma. Materials & Methods: In this field trial study 75 eligible mothers with children suffering from asthma were selected by convenience sampling method, but were randomly divided into three groups of: video clip group, teach-ba...

Oral administration of clonidine lowered the high blood pressure in two-kidney, one-clip hypertensive rats in chronic stage (three to four months), but not in one-kidney, one-clip hypertensive rats. This reduction of blood pressure was well correlated with decrease in plasma renin concentration, but not with decrease in urinary noradrenaline excretion. These results suggest that the reduction o...
