Beaumont, Catherine. "Dimorphisme sexuel dans la réponse hypertrophique cardiaque à une surcharge hémodynamique chronique." Master's thesis, Université Laval, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11794/34866.
Full textHeart remodeling during chronic hemodynamic stress is called cardiac hypertrophy (CH). CH frequently precedes heart failure (HF), a disease with a mortality rate of approximately 50% at five years. There are two main types of CH: concentric, which is characterized by thickening of ventricular walls and eccentric, where there is an enlargement of the ventricular cavity and proportional (or not) thickening of ventricular walls. CH can evolve toward a dilated form where enlargement of ventricular cavity is not compensated by a thickening of chamber walls. CH differs between the sexes and is influenced by gonadal hormones. In general, men develop dilated CH evolving more rapidly towards HF. CH in women is more concentric and gradually evolve towards HF. Aortic valve regurgitation (AR) causes a volume overload (VO) in the left ventricle (LV) and precipitates its hypertrophy. We induced an AR in male and female rats, which were gonadectomized or not, in order to study the influence of biological sex and gonadal hormones in CH development during VO. Animals were followed for 26 weeks. Our first hypothesis was that CH would be more compensatory in females than in males. Males would lose cardiac function and develop dilated HC. Our second hypothesis was that steroid hormones could explain a part of CH sexual dimorphism. Echocardiographic and ventricular tissue analysis showed that indexed heart mass of AR females was more important than in males (4.4 mg/g vs. 2.5 mg/g respectively, p<0,05). However, AR males developed more transcriptional changes than AR females, especially in genes implicated in energy metabolism, extracellular matrix remodeling and mitochondrial function and biogenesis. Orchiectomy, which suppresses androgen secretion in male rats, decreased heart gain of mass in response to AR, stabilized the transcriptional profile, which became similar to AR females, and tended to increase survival. Ovariectomy, which suppresses estrogen secretion in female rats, also decreases CH in response to AR, without affecting gene expression. This leads us to conclude estrogens would essentially promote hypertrophy in females, whereas androgens would disadvantage males by inducing CH with poor compensatory properties and changes in the transcriptional profile resulting in an altered energy metabolism.

Full textCardiac resynchronization therapy is recommanded in patients with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and wide QRS. Despite positive clinical results, a significant proportion of implanted patients do not demonstrate positive response to the therapy. Coupling experimental data and clinical studies, we have 1) investigated the impact of cardiac resynchronization in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot 2) assessed the hemodynamic impact associated with multisite LV pacing and endocardial LV pacing 3) analyzed the impact of an exercise-optimization of the programmed parameters.We have demonstrated that 1) biventricular pacing is associated with a significant hemodynamic improvement in an animal model of right ventricular dysfunction and in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot 2) multisite LV pacing and endocadial LV pacing are associated with significant hemodynamic improvement in animal models and in humans with severe heart failure 3) optimization during exercise of AV and VV delays induce acute hemodynamic improvement and could be automatically performed by an integrated hemodynimc sensor. Our data suggest a posible improvement in clinical response after cardiac resynchronization and a posible extension of the indications

Full textThe neuroconstructivist theoretical framework of cognitive development, taking into account the variability of the constraints that act from the conception to shape development, is relevant to consider the early influence of sensory experiences on the neurobehavioral development of preterm neonates. They evolve in a particular environment and are vulnerable to neurodevelopmental disorders, to which atypical tactile and temporal processing are associated. The aim of the thesis is to study tactile and temporal abilities in preterm newborns and to evaluate the effect of the early environment on these perceptions. We included 61 preterm neonates (born between 32 and 34 weeks of gestational age (wGA)). At 35 weeks of corrected gestational age, we measured orienting responses (forearm, hand, and fingers movements) during vibrotactile stimulation of their hand and forearm, during a habituation and dishabituation paradigm, the dishabituation being either a location change or a pause in the stimulation sequence. Preterm newborns displayed a manual orienting response to vibrotactile stimuli which significantly decreased when the stimulus was repeated, regardless of the stimulated location on the limb. Habituation was delayed in subjects born at a younger gestational age, smaller birth weight, and having experienced more painful care procedures. Preterm neonates perceived changes in stimulus location and interstimulus time interval, suggesting a prenatal development of temporal processing capacities. These temporal processing abilities and their use to generate sensory prediction are being evaluated in a second study. 19 premature neonates (born between 31 and 32wGA) were presented with a tactile sequence (regular or irregular) at 33 and 35 weeks of corrected GA. Variations in cerebral blood flow were measured. At both corrected GA, tactile stimuli are associated with a hemodynamic response in the primary somatosensory cortex. At 33 weeks of corrected GA, omissions in the sequence are associated with an increase in cerebral blood flow, which indicates that premature neonates form sensory predictions, regardless of their experimental group. This thesis work allows to better characterize the tactile and temporal processing abilities in premature neonates, which lack recent and thorough investigation. In addition, it provides rational arguments that could help to propose sensory therapies to these patients, based on their perceptual abilities

Full textBOLD functional MRI (fMAI) is a recent imaging technique that can be used to dynamically and non-invasively study brain hemodynamic evolutions induced by neuronal activity. Use of fMRI could in particular allow for a better understanding of the plasticity phenomena that occur in the pathology of law-grade gliomas. To this end, development of new mathematical models is necessary. We first briefly introduce functional neuroimaging and the methodological framework of our work. We then develop our research on two complementary models, whose common goal is the study of brain plasticity. The first model considers the brain as a black box characterized by its response function, the so-called hemodynamic response. We proposed a robust Bayesian method to inter this response, through introduction of basic yet relevant a priori information about the underlying physiological process. This method was then generalized to account for most event-related fMRI acquisitions. A second model considers the interactions between regions involved in a given task. We developed a novel model, relying on the theory of independence graphs, that enables the quantification of interactions within this network. We also proposed a Bayesian procedure to estimate these quantities. We finally show that both approaches can be considered as two special cases within a more general model whose further development would allow for a better understanding of brain functional processes as measured by fMRI. Both methods developed were applied to clinical data to investigate brain plasticity observed among patients with law-grade brain gliomas. Most results obtained agree with the litterature. Some cast a new light on the functional reorganization that occurs among patients

Full textNumerical fluid biomechanics has proven to be an efficient tool for understanding vascular diseases including atherosclerosis. Studying mechanical phenomena taking place in carotid artery remains a scientifically relevant problem and can help clarify the association between blood flow behavior and the formation and rupture of atheromas. The presence of atheromas, usually in regions of high curvatures, led to a widely accepted hypothesis that local loads of hemodynamics play an important role in atherogenesis. It also causes alterations to the systemic behavior such as perturbations to the flow, stress distributions at the wall and particularly the Wall Shear Stress (WSS). In other words, hemodynamics influences the progression of atherosclerosis. In order to study the behavior of carotid artery, both CFD simulations and FSI simulations were performed on multiple geometrical models. The viscosity model and boundary conditions for the fluid domain were chosen by a preliminary analysis. Five structure models are taken into account: rigid walls with and without plaque, hyperelastic arterial structure without plaque and with a plaque simulated by a geometry restriction, hyperelastic structure with elastic plaque. The effects of the presence and absence of the plaque and of different geometry configurations was analyzed. WSS and blood flow parameters (pressure-velocity) were investigated at different locations of the vasculature with a special focus at the plaque and after plaque areas. Finally, a full FSI analysis was performed on a patient specific geometry and compared with the rigid wall results. The comparison between healthy and stenosed arteries showed different flow disruptions near the stenosis area resulting in a higher shear stress at the plaque zone and lower shear stress after-plaque zone. This result was observed both in the generic simplified geometry and in the patient specific geometry. The analysis of the structural response of the arterial tissue showed different displacement amplitudes between healthy and diseased arteries. It also showed a high frequency Fourier component of the displacement signal of the models stenosed artery: this signal slightly changes when the plaque mechanical properties are modified. The plaque rupture depends among others on the local WSS and the local strength of the tissue. On one hand LWSS zones are areas of vivid proliferation of atherosclerosis plaques, on the other hand the LWSS can promote inflammations and cause plaque instability too. The assessment of the vibrational behavior of the artery shows the emergence of low frequency modes when the plaque is present. The method proposed in this project is aimed to provide useful information for the future assessments of the dynamic response of carotid artery when more patient specific data is available and in-vivo experimental investigations are carried out

Les bénéfices sont de maximiser les chances de guérison en identifiant le réseau épileptique et de limiter les effets secondaires en préservant les aires fonctionnelles.
L'acquisition de l'EEG en milieu magnétique produit des artefacts. Nous avons d'abord évalué la performance de plusieurs algorithmes de correction d'artefacts selon différentes configurations expérimentales. Nous avons ensuite évalué l'influence du couplage hémodynamique et proposé une méthode robuste estimant la réponse hémodynamique optimale pour chaque patient afin d'améliorer la sensibilité des examens.
Nos résultats montrent que (i) la plupart des algorithmes sont efficaces mais qu'un filtrage trop strict peut détériorer l'EEG ; (ii) l'estimation de la réponse hémodynamique est cruciale en IRMf/EEG. Ceci suggère que l'épilepsie peut induire une modification des propriétés hémodynamiques.
L'IRMf/EEG est une méthode prometteuse pour les investigations préchirurgicales. En raison de l'hétérogénéité du couplage neurovasculaire, l'interprétation des cartes d'activation reste délicate et nécessite l'emploi d'approches complémentaires.

Full textMapping of epileptic networks is crucial during functional investigations in drug-resistant patients (30%). Recent advances in neuroimaging opened the possibility to record simultaneously fMRI and EEG. It appears as a technique perfectly suited to epilepsy evaluation because it allows identifying both functional and epileptic. The main goal of this PhD work was to develop EEG/fMRI procedures at the Grenoble Hospital for pre- and post-surgical brain mapping in epileptics. Potential clinical benefits are the improvement of surgical outcome by identifying epileptic networks, and the reduction of side-effects of surgery by preserving brain functions. Because EEG signals acquired in a magnetic environment are noisy, we first evaluated how the performance of different artefact removal algorithms depends on various experimental settings. Second, we assessed hemodynamic variability in EEG/fMRI recordings and proposed a robust method estimating the most suitable patient-specific hemodynamic response to improve the sensitivity of such exams. Our results show that (i) most of removal artefact methods are efficient but that over-filtering could deteriorate EEG; (ii) estimation of hemodynamic properties is critical for EEG/fMRI exams in epilepsy. This suggests that epilepsy is often accompanied by an alteration of brain hemodynamics. We have successfully implemented EEG/fMRI at the Grenoble Hospital. This technique appeared to be helpful for presurgical evaluations. However, because of heterogeneous neurovascular coupling, the interpretation of activation maps remains difficult. Therefore, characterizing epilepsy cannot be done solely using EEG/fMRI and needs complementary investigations

Full textNatriuretic peptides and cardiopulmonary receptors are the main mechanisms of renal responses to changes in central blood volume. Several experimental models have been designed to study these mechanisms. We have shown that the increase in plasma Atrial Natriuretic Peptide was likely to be involved in the natriuretic effect of a light loaded exercise performed in supine posture and that its decrease was responsible for the antinatriuretic effect of Lower Body Negative Pressure. In an other group of studies we have characterize renal and hormonal responses to head-down tilt and we have shown that after 3 day's HDT, responses to saline infusion indicated that central blood volume had returned to its level found in seated posture and that neuro-hormonal systems adapting renal function to changes in central blood volume were not desensitized

Full textIntroduction: Paraspinal muscles are required continuously during daily tasks for trunk stabilization and mobilization. For this, aerobic metabolism muscle contribution is required. Chronic low back pain is characterized by a high level of fatigability and pain sensations in regard to paraspinal muscles. These symptoms may be attributed to an alteration in aerobic metabolism responses. Conversely, practising physical and sports activities (PSA) could improve these responses.Objective: The main objective was to determine the specificities in aerobic metabolism responses in regard to paraspinal muscles, in chronic low back pain patients following a functional restoration program and in healthy athletes.Method: Four studies have been conducted. Participants performed submaximal trunk extension exercises on an isokinetic dynamometer for five minutes, to assess paraspinal muscle aerobic metabolism responses to exercises. Chronic low back pain patients were paired with and compared to healthy individuals and followed during a functional restoration program, in which physical exercise was the main component. Also, healthy young individuals, with and without sport specialization, were compared with each other.Results/Conclusion: In chronic low back pain patients, the functional restoration program allows an acceleration in V̇O2, kinetics, an increase in paraspinal muscle oxygenation, and an increase in mechanical efficiency to exercise. In young athletes, the aerobic responses were also improved, and the changes in responses depended on the training modalities. Practicing SPA enhances the aerobic metabolism contribution during prolonged trunk extension exercise, in regard to paraspinal muscles. There was no difference in aerobic metabolism responses between the chronic low back pain patients and the healthy individuals, despite weak levels of maximal strength and high levels of muscle fatigability when exercising (for the chronic low back pain patients). Although the preliminary results did not attest to an alteration in aerobic responses in chronic low back pain patients, our results suggest that practising physical activities could limit paraspinal muscle fatigability, which could be a way to prevent injury and disappointing performances, by improving aerobic metabolism responses to exercise

Full textCardiac surgery often requires peri-operative cardiopulmonary bypass (CB). . Gas exchanges and perfusion are provided for the organs excepting the heart, which despite cardioplegia, can display stress signs resulting from an insufficient myocardial protection that generates ischemia. Most common post-surgery complications are the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) often preceded by vasoplegia and auricular fibrillation (AF), most common rhythm disorder. Mechanisms involved are multifactorial but the CB-induced myocardial re-perfusion ischemia seems to play a major role. At a molecular level, adenosine could be a key actor, a ubiquitous glycoside derived from the dephosphorylation of ATP and released by numerous cells in case of oxidative stressor inflammation. Very early marker of hypoxemia and general ischemia, adenosine controls both cardiovascular and immune systems through 4 types of receptors most particularly with a vasodilator effect through the A2A receptor and a pro-arrhythmic effect documented by several fundamental and clinical studies.The objectives of our work were to demonstrate the involvement of adenosine in the appearance of hemodynamic and rhythmic complications in post cardiac surgery under CB and then to assess the interest of caffeine, a nonspecific antagonist of adenosine receptors, in the prevention of AF

Full textPart I: Objectives. This work reports an anatomic study of swine heart in order to produce technical recommendations and achieve successful experimental cardiac surgical procedures. Methods. 16 swines were studied. Coronary artery vessels were surgically (n=13) and angiographically (n=10) assessed. Coronary venous vessels were studied by anatomic dissections (n=13) and retrograde injection of methylene blue through the coronary sinus (n=8). Results. Specific pericardial positioning of swine heart dramatically differs from human heart resulting in a limited access to ascending aorta and right atrium, requiring surgical precautions to perform a safe sternotomy and canulation of ascending aorta with an antegrade cardioplegia. Arterial coronary pattern is similar to that of humans (right dominant supply: 70%). Pig coronary sinus receives 4 main branches vs 3 in human sinus. Preliminary ligation of the left azygos vein is required to visualize the surface distribution of methylene blue within the venous vessels, thereby confirming an optimized perfusion of the left ventricle whereas the right ventricle remains poorly perfused. This asymmetry of perfusion results from a specific venous drainage of the right ventricle through small cardiac veins disconnected from coronary sinus. Conclusions. Anatomic knowledge of swine heart validated surgical guidelines for designing the model of self-myocardial retroperfusion and safely performing experimental cardiac surgical procedures. Part II: Background. Retrograde perfusion into the coronary sinus is used to deliver cardioplegia. We developed an in-vivo porcine beating-heart model of self-myocardial retroperfusion (SMR) using the venous route to supply myocardial oxygenation and sought to assess hemodynamic and cardiac responses triggered by SMR before and after a prolonged occlusion of the LAD.Methods. A bypass-line between the ascending aorta and the coronary sinus was made to perform a selective retrograde perfusion of the great cardiac vein with oxygenated blood (SMR). A Control group (n=6) was assigned to collect baseline data, and an SMR group (n=6) was dedicated to undergo SMR with occlusion of LAD for 240 minutes. Cardiac output (CO), maximal pressure in the LV (Pmax in-LV), stroke volume (SV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), diastolic durations, heart rate, and arterial systemic pressure were evaluated with conductance catheters for the following periods: basal (before SMR), SMR with patent LAD, and SMR with occluded LAD. In order to assess peripheral perfusion, patterns of sublingual microcirculation were analyzed. At the end of the procedures, the hearts were harvested for histology. Results. Echographic LVEF evaluation was affected by sternotomy, but conductance catheter evaluation was not. Following pericardiotomy, CO decreased by 7.51% (P < 0.05). SMR with patent LAD showed inotropic properties with improvements in CO, SV, Pmax in-LV and LVEF (P < 0.0001). Following LAD occlusion, SMR supplied myocardial oxygenation with hemodynamic compensation and preserved the peripheral perfusion. Histology confirmed no signs of infarct. Conclusions. SMR showed capacities to produce inotropic effects and protect against ischemia, opening interesting potential applications

Full textIt has been well demonstrated that focal seizures are associated with a significant increase in regional cerebral blood flow to actively supply discharging neurons with oxygenated hemoglobin. There is also some evidence to suggest that focal seizures elicit early hemodynamic changes in the contralateral homotopic area, although this has been less well documented. In this study, we aim to better characterize the nature of early hemodynamic responses contralateral to the epileptic focus during seizures. We used intrinsic optical imaging (IOI) and two-photon laser microscopy to measure the hemodynamic changes in the homotopic contralateral area following focal seizures induced by an injection of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) in the mouse somatosensory neocortex. In the study using IOI, oxyhemoglobin (HbO), deoxyhemoglobin (HbR) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes were observed in the homotopic area contralateral to the focus during all seizures. However, these changes were rather heterogenous, lacking any consistent or reproducible pattern. Our two-photon study showed no significant hemodynamic changes at the capillary level in the homotopic area contralateral to the ictal focus during epileptic spike trains. However, these findings must be interpreted cautiously in light of several limitations we encountered during the experiments. Specifically, we were unable to simultaneously record electrophysiology in the contralateral homotopic area. Furthermore, during our two-photon experiments, we failed to induce long ictal discharges (inducing only spike trains) had a limited sampling of the contralateral homotopic area and reduced power as a result of low mice survival rate. We conclude by providing alternatives to possibly improve future experiments.
