Interviewees noted that all local diabetes teams should be empowered to deliver closed-loop system care, but stressed that health professionals supporting closed-loop users in routine care will need comprehensive technology training and standardized clinical guidance. Conclusion These findings constitute an important starting point for the development of formal guidance to support the rollout of closed-loop technology. Our recommendations, if actioned, will help limit the potential additional burden of introducing closed-loop systems in routine clinical care and help inform appropriate user education and support.Pulmonary vasoconstriction resulting from intermittent hypoxia (IH) contributes to pulmonary hypertension (pHTN) in patients with sleep apnea (SA), although the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Based on prior studies in SA patients and animal models of SA, the objective of this study was to evaluate the role of PKCβ and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitoROS) in mediating enhanced pulmonary vasoconstrictor reactivity following IH. We hypothesized that PKCβ mediates vasoconstriction through interaction with the scaffolding protein PICK1, activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels (mitoKATP), and stimulated production of mitoROS. We further hypothesized that this signaling axis mediates enhanced vasoconstriction and pHTN following IH. Rats were exposed to IH or sham conditions (7 h/day; 4 wks). Chronic oral administration of the antioxidant TEMPOL or the PKCβ inhibitor LY-333,531 abolished IH-induced increases in right ventricular (RV) systolic pressure and RV hypertrophy. Furthermore, scavengers of O2- or mitoROS prevented enhanced PKCβ-dependent vasoconstrictor reactivity to endothelin-1 in pulmonary
