Abstract
Taking into consideration renal hypertension-induced homeostatic disorders and the key role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in many, systemic functions regulating systems, a question arises as to what an extent arterial hypertension affects the morphology and dynamics of pulmonary CGRP-immunopositive cell changes. The aim of the present study was to examine the distribution, morphology and dynamics of changes of CGRP-containing cells in the lungs of rats in the two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) renovascular hypertension model. The studies were carried out on the lungs of rats after 3, 14, 28, 42, and 91 days long period from the renal artery clipping procedure. In order to identify neuroendocrine cells, immunohistochemical reaction was performed with the use of a specific antibody against CGRP. It was revealed that renovascular hypertension caused changes in the neuroendocrine, CGRP-containing cells in the lungs of rats. The changes, observed in the neuroendocrine cells, depended on time periods from experimentally induced hypertension. The highest intensity of changes in the neuroendocrine cells was observed in the lungs of rats after 14 days from the surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Renal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) treatment of renal artery stenosis has been performed worldwide since 1978, but it is still a matter of debate as to what extent the patients benefit from the procedure in terms of quality of life and long-term survival. MATERIAL AND METHODS Of 139 patients referred for renal angioplasty owing to hypertension or pending uraemia, 105 were subsequently treated with PTA. Eighty-eight patients survived for 5 years. Fifty-nine patients were re-examined according to a protocol including physical examination, blood pressure, drug therapy, glomerular filtration rate and quality of life assessment, and an additional 29 patients were interviewed by telephone regarding quality of life. PTA was not conducted in 34 patients owing to high risks as decided at joint radiology-nephrology conferences. RESULTS The 5-year survival was 83% for PTA-treated patients with arteriosclerotic renovascular disease, 100% for patients with fibromuscular vascular disease and 47% for the non-PTA-treated patients. The main causes of death were cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in both groups. Reduced blood pressure and reduced need for antihypertensive drug treatment were observed in the PTA-treated patients. The renal function was stable. A majority of the PTA-treated patients stated that they had "unrestricted" physical activity, and the physical, mental and social well-being was self-rated as level 4-5 (mostly good and very good) on a five-grade scale by 53%, 67% and 75% of the patients, respectively, at the follow-up investigation. The untreated patients were not interviewed. CONCLUSION The study showed a high survival rate, improved blood pressure control and stable renal function 5 years after renal PTA, and a vast majority of the patients rated their physical, mental and social well-being favourably.

Abstract
Consider renovascular hypertension (HT) when: Newly diagnosed hypertension presents with features that are atypical of essential hypertension; Resistant hypertension is associated with risk factors for atheroma; or Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin-II-receptor antagonist therapy is associated with increasing plasma creatinine levels. Atheromatous renovascular HT can often be managed medically, which includes intensive correction of cardiovascular risk factors. ACE inhibitors are probably second-line antihypertensives for patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis and two kidneys. First-line antihypertensives are diuretics, beta-blockers and calcium-channel blockers. Bilateral renal artery stenosis, or a unilateral stenosis in a patient with only one kidney, is an absolute contraindication to ACE inhibition.

Abstract
The Jackson Heart Study will be an epidemiological study of African Americans in Jackson, Mississippi, to identify risk factors for development and progression of cardiovascular disease. One of the potential risk factors to be assessed in this study is renal vascular disease. Atherosclerotic renal vascular disease is a disease of the elderly, is predominantly seen in white people, and is strongly associated with diffuse atherosclerotic disease and high-grade hypertensive retinopathy. Patients with ischemic nephropathy may constitute up to 16% of new dialysis patients and die more quickly while on renal replacement therapy. Although often not present, hypertension is a commonly observed consequence (but probably not a cause) of renal vascular disease, and the control of blood pressure may not halt the progression of the disease. Approximately 20-25% of patients with moderate to severe renal artery stenosis will be diabetic. Diabetic patients fair less well with intervention and have a higher progression to end-stage renal disease or death. Obesity is not commonly seen in patients with renal vascular disease. The Jackson Heart Study may be able to assess the true incidence of atherosclerotic renal vascular disease in African Americans and its impact of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
