Intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) is negative for outcome after intensive care. Little research has focused on medical intervention to improve visceral circulation during IAH. A nitric oxide (NO)-donor was compared with placebo in 25 pigs; each pig was randomized into three groups: PDNO (NO-donor), Control (placebo), or Sham. IAH was induced by CO insufflation to 30 mmHg. Sham group had surgical preparation only. Blood gases, invasive venous and arterial blood pressure, intestinal microcirculation and superior mesenteric blood flow were measured. The PDNO group had significantly increased intestinal microcirculation compared with Controls during IAH (last hour, P = 0.009). The mean arterial pressure and abdominal perfusion pressures (APP) were decreased, and the cardiac index were increased in the PDNO group. Also, systemic and pulmonary vascular resistances were lower in the PDNO group compared with Controls. These experimental findings indicate that NO should be further explored with potential application to improve intestinal microcirculation in IAH patients.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease closely linked to intestinal mucosal microcirculatory dysfunction. Sweroside (SOS), a natural iridoid glycoside derived from plants such as Swertia mussotii, Swertia pseudochinensis, and Lonicera japonica, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. Yet, its therapeutic potential and mechanisms in UC remain unexplored.

Background: Proper intestinal anastomosis healing in colorectal surgery relies on optimal microcirculation, with surgeons choosing between the hand-sewn and stapled techniques. However, the impact of these methods on the microcirculation remains unclear. This study used laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) to objectively assess the impact of hand-sewn and stapled techniques on microcirculation in a porcine model during open surgery and examined microcirculatory changes during hypotension and norepinephrine (NE) correction.

Aim: Successful anastomotic healing is essential in colorectal surgery and depends on adequate microcirculation at the resection site to prevent anastomotic leakage (AL). Traditionally, surgeons subjectively assess this. Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) provides an objective, dye-free, and non-contact method for measuring the bowel end microcirculation that could perioperatively support the surgeon's assessment.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common and critical disease in clinical practice. Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Danshen), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used in the clinical treatment of AP due to its ability to regulate inflammatory factors, prevent oxidation, and improve microcirculation, achieving certain therapeutic effects. In recent years, most research on the active ingredients of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge for the treatment of AP has focused on fat-soluble components such as tanshinone, while water-soluble components, such as phenolic acids have been studied much less.

Background/aim: Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) is employed to induce colitis in mice for studying ulcerative colitis (UC), an inflammatory bowel disease. However, the precise mechanism underlying its action remains unclear. Microcirculatory issues in the colonic mucosa contribute to DSS-induced colitis; however, early structural changes in the local vascular system have not been thoroughly investigated.
