表皮生长因子对培养的气道上皮细胞抗臭氧损伤的保护作用

本研究观察到臭氧（Ｏ３）对体外培养经３Ｈ－ＵｄＲ标记的免气道上皮细胞有明显细胞毒性作用,且损伤程度与Ｏ３作用时间呈正相关。Ｏ３暴露组细胞内丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）产生增多（Ｐ＜０．０１）,提示Ｏ３损伤细胞的机制与胞膜脂质过氧化有关。表皮生长因子（ＥＧＦ）可明显降低Ｏ３所致的３Ｈ释放率（Ｐ＜０．０１）、降低Ｏ３的细胞毒指数及细胞内ＭＤＡ含量（Ｐ＜０．０１）,证明ＥＧＦ对气道上皮细胞有保护作用。进一步还观察到浓度为５ｎｇ／ｍｌ的ＥＯＦ可以取消Ｏ３所引起的细胞内还原型谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＨ）含量降低（Ｐ＜０．０１）,并增加细胞内谷胱甘肽总含量（Ｐ＜０．０５）,但不能改变Ｏ３所致的氧化型谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＳＧ）含量的增加（Ｐ＞０．０５）,对ＧＳＨ／ＧＳＳＧ比值也无明显提高,这些都提示ＥＧＦ的细胞保护机理可能与其促进细胞内谷胱甘肽合成有关,而对ＧＳＳＧ转化为ＧＳＨ的还原过程影响不明显。

Alkaline shift in lumbar and intracranial CSF in man after 5 days at high altitude.

In six healthy male volunteers at sea level (PB 747-759 Torr), we measured pH and PCO2 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and in arterial and jugular bulb blood; from these data we estimated PCO2 (12) and pH for the intracranial portion of CSF. The measurements were repeated after 5 days in a hypobaric chamber (PB 447 Torr). Both lumbar and intracranial CSF were significantly more alkaline at simulated altitude than at sea level. Decrease in [HCO3-] IN lumbar CSF at altitude was similar to that in blood plasma. Both at sea level and at high altitude, PCO2 measured in the lumbar CSF was higher than that estimated for the intracranial CSF. At altitude, hyperoxia, in comparison with breathing room air, resulted in an increase in intracranial PCO2, and a decrease in the estimated pH in intracranial CSF. With hyperoxia at altitude, alveolar ventilation was significantly higher than during sea-level hyperoxia or normoxia, confirming that a degree of acclimatization had occurred. Changes in cerebral arteriovenous differences in CO2, measured in three subjects, suggest that cerebral blood flow may have been elevated after 5 days at altitude.     

Cerebral interstitial fluid acid-base status follows arterial acid-base perturbations

Cerebral interstitial fluid (ISF) pH of ventral medulla or thalamus, cisternal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pH, and arterial blood pH, PCO2, and [HCO-3] were measured in chloralose-urethan-anesthetized, gallamine-paralyzed New Zealand White rabbits during 30-min episodes of either HCl or NaHCO3 intravenous infusions. ISF pH was measured continuously with glass microelectrodes (1- to 2-microns tip diameter). Cisternal CSF pH was measured continuously with an indwelling pH probe (1-mm tip diameter). Both ventral medullary and thalamic ISF [H+] changed significantly, whereas arterial PCO2 remained constant. CSF [H+] did not change. We conclude from these data that 1) changes in blood acid-base conditions are rapidly reflected in cerebral ISF and 2) transient differences in [H+] and [HCO-3] can exist between cerebral ISF and CSF.     

Reversal of depressed miduterine arterial flow during hyperthermia-induced respiratory alkalosis

The influence of ambient and arterial PCO2 on miduterine arterial flow of pregnant sheep acutely exposed to hot environments was investigated. Five mixed-breed ewes between 120 and 130 days of gestation were subjected to hot environments (increasing from thermoneutral 23 to 40 degrees C), and arterial blood pH, PCO2, and PO2 were determined at 5-min intervals. Respiratory rate, heart rate, rectal temperature, blood pressure, and miduterine arterial flow were continuously monitored prior to and during elevation of ambient air temperature. When miduterine arterial flow had decreased to 50% of thermoneutral control levels, ambient air CO2 was increased to 2.5%. Elevated ambient inspired CO2 caused a reversal in arterial pH and PCO2 to near thermoneutral levels. Miduterine arterial flow increased to 77% of the control levels following the elevated ambient PCO2 period. Respiratory rate also decreased when ambient CO2 was increased but remained 136% greater than the thermoneutral control level. All other parameters remained near their heat stress (40 degrees C) level during the elevation of ambient CO2. These data indicate that heat-stress-induced depression of miduterine arterial flow is vasoactively regulated, and cause-effect related to both arterial pH and PCO2, and thermoregulatory shunting of blood to heat-dissipating surfaces.     

CSF bicarbonate regulation in respiratory acidosis and alkalosis.

CSF bicarbonate regulation was studied in respiratory acidosis and alkalosis of 4h duration in antsthetized dogs. PCO2, pH, HCO3, ammonia, and lactate in CSF and arterial and safittal sinus bloof were measured when equal volumes of saline or acetazolamide (8 mg) were injected into lateral cerebral ventricles. The brain CO2 dissociation curve was determined at the end of all experiments. CSF and arterial bicarbonate increased 11.8 and 5.9 meg/l, respectively, in acidosis. Acetazolamide limited the rise in CSF bicarbonate to 4.2 meg/l, and prevented the CSF bicarbonate increase associated with hyperammonemia. During alkalosis CSF bicarbonate fell 6.5 meg/l and CSF lactate increased almost 2 meg/l while arterial bicarbonate fell 5.7 meg/l and lactate remained unchanged. Thus plasma bicarbonate changes account for some of the CSF unchanged. Thus plasma bicarbonate changes account for some of the CSF bicarbonate alterations in respiratory acid-base-disturbances. In acidosis additional CSF bicarbonate is formed by the choroid plexus and glial cells on the inner and outer surfaces of the brain--a reaction catalyzed by the locally present carbonic anhydrase. In alkalosis the greater fall in CSF bicarbonate than blood is due to selective brain and CSF lactic acidosis.     

Comparative study of automatic blood-gas analysers and their use in analysing arterial and capillary samples.

Three automatic blood-gas analysers were compared for ease of use; calibration; reproducibility and accuracy of results; maintenance; fault-finding; and use of expert technician time. Results obtained from arterial and capillary blood were compared with duplicate values obtained with a semi-automatic analyser controlled and calibrated with tonometered blood. No analyser was fully automatic, and all three needed maintenance by expert technicians. Difficulties were encountered when inexperienced operators used the machines. One automatic blood-gas analyser gave aberrant values for oxygen pressure (PO2) due to electrode dysfunction that was not indicated by the fault-finding system. A second analyser gave significantly lower values for blood pH than the standard machine. A comparison of pH, carbon dioxide pressure (PCO2), and PO2 measured in 40 simultaneous paired samples of arterial and arterialised capillary blood showed no significant difference for pH or PCO2, but the PO2 values were significantly lower in the capillary samples over the range studied. We conclude that all machines perform satisfactorily in terms of blood-gas analysis, but none may be regarded as fully automatic. Some degree of technical supervision is essential, as is proper training for all potential users.     

Time course of muscular blood metabolites during forearm rhythmic exercise in hypoxia

O2 concentration, PO2, PCO2, pH, osmolarity, lactate (LA), and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in deep forearm venous blood were repeatedly measured during submaximal exercise of forearm muscles. Concentrations of arterial blood gases were determined at rest and during exercise. Experiments were conducted under normoxia and hypobaric hypoxia (PB = 465 Torr). In arterial blood, data obtained during exercise were the same as those obtained during rest under either normoxia or hypoxia. In venous muscular blood, PO2 and O2 concentration were lower at rest and during exercise in hypoxia. The muscular arteriovenous O2 difference during exercise in hypoxia was increased by no more than 10% compared with normoxia, which implied that muscular blood flow during exercise also increased by the same percentage, if we assume that exercise O2 consumption was not affected by hypoxia. Despite increased [LA], the magnitude of changes in PCO2 and pH in hypoxia were smaller than in normoxia during exercise and recovery; this finding is probably due to the increased blood buffer value induced by the greater amount of reduced Hb in hypoxia. Hence all the changes occurring in hypoxia showed that local metabolism was less affected than we expected from the decrease in arterial PO2. The rise in [Hb] that occurred during exercise was lower in hypoxia. Possible underlying mechanisms of the [Hb] rise during exercise are discussed.     

In vivo regulation of plasma [H+] in ponies during acute changes in PCO2

The major objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that in ponies the change in plasma [H+] resulting from a change in PCO2 (delta H+/delta PCO2) is less under acute in vivo conditions than under in vitro conditions. Elevation of inspired CO2 and lowering of inspired O2 (causing hyperventilation) were used to respectively increase and decrease arterial PCO2 (Paco2) by 5-8 Torr from normal. Arterial and mixed venous blood were simultaneously sampled in 12 ponies during eucapnia and 5-60 min after Paco2 had changed. In vitro data were obtained by equilibrating blood in a tonometer at five different levels of PCO2. The in vitro slopes of the H+ vs. PCO2 relationships were 0.73 +/- 0.01 and 0.69 +/- 0.01 neq.1-1.Torr-1 for oxygenated and partially deoxygenated blood, respectively. These slopes were greater (P less than 0.001) than the in vivo H+ vs. PCO2 slopes of 0.61 +/- 0.03 and 0.57 +/- 0.03 for arterial and mixed venous blood, respectively. The delta HCO3-/delta pH (Slykes) was 15.4 +/- 1.1 and 17.0 +/- 1.1 for in vitro oxygenated and partially deoxygenated blood, respectively. These values were lower (P less than 0.001) than the in vivo values of 23.3 +/- 2.7 and 25.2 +/- 4.7 Slykes for arterial and mixed venous blood, respectively. In vitro, plasma strong ion difference (SID) increased 4.5 +/- 0.2 meq/l (P less than 0.001) when Pco2 was increased from 25 to 55 Torr. A 3.5-meq/l decrease in [Cl-] (P less than 0.001) and a 1.3 +/- 0.1 meq/l increase in [Na+] (P less than 0.001) accounted for the SID change.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Effects of humoral factors on ventilation kinetics during recovery after impulse-like exercise

To clarify the ventilatory kinetics during recovery after impulse-like exercise, subjects performed one impulse-like exercise test (one-impulse) and a five-times repeated impulse-like exercises test (five-impulse). Duration and intensity of the impulse-like exercise were 20 sec and 400 watts (80 rpm), respectively. Although blood pH during recovery (until 10 min) was significantly lower in the five-impulse test than in the one-impulse test, ventilation (.VE) in the two tests was similar except during the first 30 sec of recovery, in which it was higher in the five-impulse test. In one-impulse, blood CO2 pressure (PCO2) was significantly increased at 1 min during recovery and then returned to the pre-exercise level at 5 min during recovery. In the five-impulse test, PCO2 at 1 min during recovery was similar to the pre-exercise level, and then it decreased to a level lower than the pre-exercise level at 5 min during recovery. Accordingly, PCO2 during recovery (until 30 min) was significantly lower in the five-impulse than in one-impulse test..VE and pH during recovery showed a curvilinear relationship, and at the same pH, ventilation was higher in the one-impulse test. These results suggest that ventilatory kinetics during recovery after impulse-like exercise is attributed partly to pH, but the stimulatory effect of lower pH is diminished by the inhibitory effect of lower PCO2.     

Potentiation of the exercise pressor reflex by muscle ischemia

The reflex responses to static contraction are augmented by ischemia. The metabolic "error signals" that are responsible for these observed responses are unknown. Therefore this study was designed to test the hypothesis that static contraction-induced pressor responses, which are enhanced during muscle ischemia, are the result of alterations in muscle oxygenation, acid-base balance, and K+. Thus, in 36 cats, the pressor response, active muscle blood flow, and muscle venous pH, PCO2, PO2, lactate, and K+ were compared during light and intense static contractions with and without arterial occlusion. During light contraction (15-16% of maximal), active muscle blood flow increased without and decreased with arterial occlusion (+35 +/- 12 vs. -60 +/- 11%). Arterial occlusion augmented these pressor responses by 132 +/- 25%. Without arterial occlusion, changes (P less than 0.05) were seen in PO2, O2 content, PCO2, and K+. Lactate and pH were unchanged. With arterial occlusion, changes in muscle PCO2 were augmented and significant changes were seen in pH and lactate. During intense static contraction (67-69% of maximal), muscle blood flow decreased without arterial occlusion (-39 +/- 9%) and decreased further during occlusion (-81 +/- 6%). Arterial occlusion augmented the pressor responses by 39 +/- 12%. All metabolic variables increased during contraction without arterial occlusion, but occlusion failed to augment any of these changes. These data suggest that light static ischemic contractions cause increases in muscle PCO2 and lactate and decreases in pH that may signal compensatory reflex-induced changes in arterial blood pressure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
