Pseudopheochromocytoma Associated with Domestic Assault by H. M. Le, G. Carbutti, D. Ilisei, E. Bouccin, X. Vandemergel

“…Unlike pheochromocytoma, there is no catecholamines overproduction in this pathology: hypertensive peaks are caused by a hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is often triggered by a psychological trauma in the past. …”

A Possible Change Process of Inflammatory Cytokines in the Prolonged Chronic Stress and Its Ultimate Implications for Health by Rui Tian, Gonglin Hou, Dan Li, Ti-Fei Yuan

“…At the early stage of stress, the activated hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) axis can upregulate the levels of glucocorticoid (GCs) and catecholamines (CAs), respectively, and then they in turn inhibit the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines directly or indirectly while promoting the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines. …”

Sympathetic Renal Innervation and Resistant Hypertension by Vito M. Campese, Elaine Ku, Jeanie Park

“…Although the role of sodium retention, total body volume expansion, and hyperactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) are well recognized, increasing evidence suggests that afferent impulses from the injured kidney may increase sympathetic nervous system activity in areas of the brain involved in noradrenergic regulation of blood pressure and contribute to the development and maintenance of hypertension associated with kidney disease. …”

Research progress in the correlation between chronic stress and ovarian dysfunction by WEI Liutong, LAI Dongmei

“…Recent studies have shown that chronic stress affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovary axis directly or indirectly and leads to ovarian dysfunction-including excessive activation of primordial follicles, a reduction in preantral and preovulatory follicles, decline of oocyte quality, and granulosa cell apoptosis, through corticotropin-releasing hormone, corticosterone and cortisol secreted by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, as well as epinephrine and norepinephrine released by the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary axis and sympathetic nervous system. This article reviews the correlation between chronic stress and ovarian dysfunction, along with the potential mechanisms.…”

Resistant Hypertension in Nondialysis Chronic Kidney Disease by Silvio Borrelli, Luca De Nicola, Giovanna Stanzione, Giuseppe Conte, Roberto Minutolo

“…In CKD, RH is a common condition due to a combination of factors including sodium retention, increased activity of the renin-angiotensin system, and enhanced activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Before defining the hypertensive patient as resistant it is mandatory to exclude the so-called “pseudoresistance.” …”

Update on Peripheral Arterial Vasodilation, Ascites and Hepatorenal Syndrome in Cirrhosis by Mladen Knotek, Boris Rogachev, Robert W Schrier

“…In cirrhosis of the liver, according to the peripheral arterial vasodilation hypothesis, relative underfilling of the arterial tree triggers a neurohumoral response (activation of renin-angiotensinaldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system, nonosmotic release of vasopressin) aimed at restoring circulatory integrity by promoting renal sodium and water retention. …”

Localized propranolol delivery from a copper-loaded hydrogel for enhancing infected burn wound healing via adrenergic β-receptor blockade by Wenzhe Sun, Hongwei Lu, Pengqin Zhang, Lian Zeng, Bing Ye, Yi Xu, Jianan Chen, Peiran Xue, Jialin Yu, Kaifang Chen, Bin Wu, Xiao Lv, Xiaodong Guo, Yanzhen Qu

“…During this process, the sympathetic nervous system releases large amounts of catecholamines, which bind to β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR) on cell membranes, negatively affecting skin regeneration. …”

Role of Central Nervous System Circuits in Promotion of Breast Cancer Progression by Depression by Yingchao WU, Yuqi LIANG, Qian ZUO, Qianjun CHEN

“…This article reviews the latest research progress of the central nervous system circuits and the generation of depression, the neural connection between the central nervous system and peripheral tumor, and the regulation of the tumor immune microenvironment by the sympathetic nervous system. It also systematically investigates the potential mechanism of the central nervous system circuit in the promotion of breast cancer progression by depression to establish new solutions for the comprehensive treatment of breast cancer.…”
