Effect of increased surface tension and assisted ventilation on 99mTc-DTPA clearance 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Experiments were performed to determine the effects of conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) and high-frequency oscillation (HFO) on the clearance of technetium-99m-labeled diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (99mTc-DTPA) from lungs with altered surface tension properties. A submicronic aerosol of 99mTc-DTPA was insufflated into the lungs of anesthetized, tracheotomized rabbits before and 1 h after the administration of the aerosolized detergent dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (OT). Rabbits were ventilated by one of four methods: 1) spontaneous breathing; 2) CMV at 12 cmH2O mean airway pressure (MAP); 3) HFO at 12 cmH2O MAP; 4) HFO at 16 cmH2O MAP. Administration of OT resulted in decreased arterial PO2 (PaO2), increased lung wet-to-dry weight ratios, and abnormal lung pressure-volume relationships, compatible with increased surface tension. 99mTc-DTPA clearance was accelerated after OT in all groups. The post-OT rate of clearance (k) was significantly faster (P less than 0.05) in the CMV at 12 cmH2O MAP [k = 7.57 +/- 0.71%/min (SE)] and HFO at 16 cmH2O MAP (k = 6.92 +/- 0.61%/min) groups than in the spontaneously breathing (k = 4.32 +/- 0.55%/min) and HFO at 12 cmH2O MAP (4.68 +/- 0.63%/min) groups. The clearance curves were biexponential in the former two groups. We conclude that pulmonary clearance of 99mTc-DTPA is accelerated in high surface tension pulmonary edema, and this effect is enhanced by both conventional ventilation and HFO at high mean airway pressure. 相似文献

The effects of acute hypoxia on regional pulmonary perfusion have been studied previously in anesthetized, artificially ventilated sheep (J. Appl. Physiol. 56: 338-342, 1984). That study indicated that a rise in pulmonary arterial pressure was associated with a shift of pulmonary blood flow toward dorsal (nondependent) areas of the lung. This study examined the relationship between the pulmonary arterial pressor response and regional pulmonary blood flow in five conscious, standing ewes during 96 h of normobaric hypoxia. The sheep were made hypoxic by N2 dilution in an environmental chamber [arterial O2 tension (PaO2) = 37-42 Torr, arterial CO2 tension (PaCO2) = 25-30 Torr]. Regional pulmonary blood flow was calculated by injecting 15-micron radiolabeled microspheres into the superior vena cava during normoxia and at 24-h intervals of hypoxia. Pulmonary arterial pressure increased from 12 Torr during normoxia to 19-22 Torr throughout hypoxia (alpha less than 0.049). Pulmonary blood flow, expressed as %QCO or ml X min-1 X g-1, did not shift among dorsal and ventral regions during hypoxia (alpha greater than 0.25); nor were there interlobar shifts of blood flow (alpha greater than 0.10). These data suggest that conscious, standing sheep do not demonstrate a shift in pulmonary blood flow during 96 h of normobaric hypoxia even though pulmonary arterial pressure rises 7-10 Torr. We question whether global hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is, by itself, beneficial to the sheep. 相似文献

We examined the effects of varying levels of alveolar hypoxia on regional distribution of pulmonary blood flow (QL) in control-ventilated sheep. Regional distribution of QL was measured using 15-micron-diam labeled microspheres during the base-line period and at two levels of hypoxemia (arterial O2 partial pressure 44 and 20 Torr). During the base-line period, regional distribution of QL in the prone position was uniform [14 +/- 4% (SE) of QL/g bloodless dry lung wt in the upper lung and 16 +/- 2% of QL/g in the dependent lung]. During hypoxemia, however, the regional distribution of QL increased in the upper lung (20 +/- 3% of QL/g) while it decreased in the dependent lung (10 +/- 2% of QL/g). The degree of flow distribution was proportional to the severity of hypoxemia. The flow distribution was not associated with significant increases in pulmonary blood flow (2.0 +/- 0.4----2.4 +/- 0.5----2.6 +/- 0.1 l/min) but was associated with increases in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (17.8 +/- 1.3----21.7 +/- 1.1----29.0 +/- 3.8 Torr). Therefore alveolar hypoxia results in a relative increase in regional pulmonary perfusion to the upper lung, which depends on the level of pulmonary hypertension. The increased upper lung perfusion may be due to recruitment in the upper lung or to vasodilation in this region. 相似文献

Experiments were performed to determine the effect of markedly negative pleural pressure (Ppl) or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the pulmonary clearance (k) of technetium-99m-labeled diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA). A submicronic aerosol containing 99mTc-DTPA was insufflated into the lungs of anesthetized intubated sheep. In six experiments k was 0.44 +/- 0.46% (SD)/min during the initial 30 min and was unchanged during the subsequent 30-min interval [k = 0.21 +/- 12%/min] when there was markedly increased inspiratory resistance. A 3-mm-diam orifice in the inspiratory tubing created the resistance. It resulted on average in a 13-cmH2O decrease in inspiratory Ppl. In eight additional experiments sheep were exposed to 2, 10, and 15 cmH2O PEEP (20 min at each level). During 2 cmH2O PEEP k = 0.47 +/- 0.15%/min, and clearance increased slightly at 10 cmH2O PEEP [0.76 +/- 0.28%/min, P less than 0.01]. When PEEP was increased to 15 cmH2O a marked increase in clearance occurred [k = 1.95 +/- 1.08%/min, P less than 0.001]. The experiments demonstrate that markedly negative inspiratory pressures do not accelerate the clearance of 99mTc-DTPA from normal lungs. The effect of PEEP on k is nonlinear, with large effects being seen only with very large increases in PEEP. 相似文献

Circulating vasoactive substances and hemodynamics were examined in chronically instrumented unanesthetized lambs before, during, and after cesarean section (spontaneous respiration). One of three infusions were started 20 min before birth: saline control (n = 10), saralasin (n = 5), or captopril (n = 6). Control lambs exhibited peak (means +/- SE) increases above fetal base line at 5 min after birth in plasma renin activity (5.0 +/- 1.1 to 11.0 +/- 3.4 ng.ml-1.h-1), angiotensin II (ANG II, 37 +/- 6 to 141 +/- 45 pg/ml) and total catecholamines (318 +/- 35 to 3,821 +/- 580 pg/ml). Mean systemic arterial pressure (Psa) and arterial O2 partial pressure (PaO2) increased more rapidly and to a greater extent by 1 h after birth in control lambs (Psa, 65 +/- 1 Torr; PaO2, 45 +/- 3 Torr) compared with the captopril group (Psa, 53 +/- 2 Torr; PaO2, 31 +/- 4 Torr) and the saralasin group (Psa, 56 +/- 2 Torr; PaO2, 27 +/- 3 Torr). Intravenous infusions of ANG II in control lambs, 2 h after birth resulted in a preferential systemic vs. pulmonary pressor response. The results demonstrate that at birth ANG II formation fosters the postnatal rise in Psa and PaO2, and high levels of circulating catecholamines may support postnatal cardiac output and Psa. 相似文献

We examined the effect of chest extracellular 99mTc-diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTPA) as a background in the measurement of pulmonary 99mTc-DTPA clearance in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Eight healthy nonsmokers (HN) and eight patients with ILD were studied. We monitored changes in gamma counts after the inhalation of 99mTc-DTPA aerosol by using a gamma camera placed over the anterior chest. The rate constant of pulmonary 99mTc-DTPA clearance (k; %/min) was assessed by calculating the slope of the decrease in the gamma counts. The chest background, estimated by 99mTc-DTPA intravenous injection, was subtracted from the original data to obtain the corrected DTPA clearance (kc; %/min). In patients with ILD, k was significantly greater [2.19 +/- 1.03 (SD) %/min; n = 8] compared with HN (0.86 +/- 0.17%/min; n = 8; P < 0.01). In patients with ILD, kc was also greater (2.80 +/- 1.15%/min; n = 8; P < 0.01) compared with HN (1.20 +/- 0.12%/min; n = 8). There was no difference in percent underestimation of k between the two groups (29.1 +/- 8.8% for HN, 22.5 +/- 7.9% for patients with ILD). There was a significant correlation between k and kc among all subjects (r = 0.987, P < 0.01). We conclude that background causes significant underestimation of pulmonary 99mTc-DTPA clearance. 相似文献

We studied the effect of systemic hypoxia on the bronchial vascular pressure-flow relationship in anesthetized ventilated sheep. The bronchial artery, a branch of the bronchoesophageal artery, was cannulated and perfused with a pump with blood from a femoral artery. Bronchial blood flow was set so bronchial arterial pressure approximated systemic arterial pressure. For the group of 25 sheep, control bronchial blood flow was 22 ml/min or 0.7 ml.min-1.kg-1. During the hypoxic exposure, animals were ventilated with a mixture of N2 and air to achieve an arterial PO2 (PaO2) of 30 or 45 Torr. For the more severe hypoxic challenge, bronchial vascular resistance (BVR), as determined by the slope of the linearized pressure-flow curve, decreased acutely from 3.8 +/- 0.4 mmHg.ml-1.min to 2.9 +/- 0.3 mmHg.ml-1.min after 5 min of hypoxia. However, this vasodilation was not sustained, and BVR measured at 30 min of hypoxia was 4.2 +/- 0.8 mmHg.ml-1.min. The zero flow intercept, an index of downstream pressure, remained unaltered during the hypoxic exposure. Under conditions of moderate hypoxia (PaO2 = 45 Torr), BVR decreased from 4.6 +/- 0.3 to 3.8 +/- 0.4 mmHg.ml-1.min at 5 min and remained dilated at 30 min (3.6 +/- 0.5 mmHg.ml-1.min). To determine whether dilator prostaglandins were responsible for the initial bronchial vascular dilation under conditions of severe hypoxia (PaO2 approximately equal to 30 Torr), we studied an additional group of animals with pretreatment with the cyclooxygenase inhibitors indomethacin (2 mg/kg) and ibuprofen (12.5 mg/kg).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The effects of an increase in alveolar pressure on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) have been reported variably. We therefore studied the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on pulmonary hemodynamics in 13 pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs ventilated alternately in hyperoxia [inspired O2 fraction (FIO2) 0.4] and in hypoxia (FIO2 0.1). In this intact animal model, HPV was defined as the gradient between hypoxic and hyperoxic transmural (tm) mean pulmonary arterial pressure [Ppa(tm)] at any level of cardiac index (Q). Ppa(tm)/Q plots were constructed with mean transmural left atrial pressure [Pla(tm)] kept constant at approximately 6 mmHg (n = 5 dogs), and Ppa(tm)/PEEP plots were constructed with Q kept constant approximately 2.8 l.min-1.m-2 and Pla(tm) kept constant approximately 8 mmHg (n = 8 dogs). Q was manipulated using a femoral arteriovenous bypass and a balloon catheter in the inferior vena cava. Pla(tm) was held constant by a balloon catheter placed by left thoracotomy in the left atrium. Increasing PEEP, from 0 to 12 Torr by 2-Torr increments, at constant Q and Pla(tm), increased Ppa(tm) from 14 +/- 1 (SE) to 19 +/- 1 mmHg in hyperoxia but did not affect Ppa(tm) (from 22 +/- 2 to 23 +/- 1 mmHg) in hypoxia. Both hypoxia and PEEP, at constant Pla(tm), increased Ppa(tm) over the whole range of Q studied, from 1 to 5 l/min, but more at the highest than at the lowest Q and without change in extrapolated pressure intercepts. Adding PEEP to hypoxia did not affect Ppa(tm) at all levels of Q.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

To assess the roles of cyclooxygenase inhibition and alveolar hypoxia in controlling the distribution of pulmonary perfusion in granulomatous lung injury, we studied 15 dogs (anesthetized and ventilated) 4 wk after intravenous injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (0.5-0.75 ml/kg). Base-line hemodynamic and blood gas observations were obtained at fractional O2 concentration (FIO2) 0.21 and 0.10. Observations at each FIO2 were repeated 30 min after infusion of meclofenemate (2 mg/kg; n = 10) or saline (n = 5). Resistance to pulmonary blood flow was assessed using the difference between pulmonary arterial diastolic and left atrial pressures (PDG). Distribution of blood flow between normal and diseased regions of the lung was evaluated with measurement of inert gas shunt flow. Before infusion, there were no significant differences between the two groups at either FIO2. At FIO2 0.10 PDG rose from 3 +/- 1 to 7 +/- 3 mmHg in the saline group and from 3 +/- 1 to 8 +/- 3 mmHg in the meclofenemate group, although the shunt flow increased from 8.7 +/- 7.7 to 12.2 +/- 9.2% and from 10.7 +/- 11.0 to 17.6 +/- 18.3 in the two groups, respectively. Saline induced no significant changes at either FIO2. After meclofenemate, PDG at FIO2 0.21 rose to 7 +/- 4 mmHg (P less than 0.015) while shunt flow fell to 5.2 +/- 6.2% (P less than 0.0125), whereas at FIO2 0.10 PDG rose to 15 +/- 5 mmHg (P less than 0.001) while shunt flow rose only to 14.3 +/- 16.4% (P = NS). We propose that perivascular inflammation enhanced perfusion of abnormal lung by elaborating vasodilator prostanoids. By inhibiting prostanoid biosynthesis, meclofenemate selectively increased resistance in diseased lung at FIO2 0.21 and lowered shunt flow. The persistent rise in shunt during hypoxia after meclofenemate suggests that factors other than prostanoids may account for the apparent attenuation of hypoxic vasoconstriction in diseased lung. 相似文献

Human recombinant tumor necrosis factor alpha infusion mimics endotoxemia in awake sheep 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The macrophage-derived cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) has been proposed as the major mediator of endotoxin-induced injury. To examine whether a single infusion of human recombinant TNF alpha (rTNF alpha) reproduces the pulmonary effects of endotoxemia, we infused rTNF alpha (0.01 mg/kg) over 30 min into six chronically instrumented awake sheep and assessed the ensuing changes in hemodynamics, lung lymph flow and protein concentration, and number of peripheral blood and lung lymph leukocytes. In addition, levels of thromboxane B2, 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha, prostaglandin E2, and leukotriene B4 were measured in lung lymph. Pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa) peaked within 15 min of the start of rTNF alpha infusion [base-line Ppa = 22.0 +/- 1.5 (SE) cmH2O; after 15 min of rTNF alpha infusion, Ppa = 54.2 +/- 5.4] and then fell toward base line. The pulmonary hypertension was accompanied by hypoxemia and peripheral blood and lung lymph leukopenia, both of which persisted throughout the 4 h of study. These changes were followed by an increase in protein-rich lung lymph flow (base-line lymph protein clearance = 1.8 +/- 0.4 cmH2O; 3 h after rTNF alpha infusion, clearance = 5.6 +/- 1.2), consistent with an increase in pulmonary microvascular permeability. Cardiac output and left atrial pressure did not change significantly throughout the experiment. Light-microscopic examination of lung tissue at autopsy revealed congestion, neutrophil sequestration, and patchy interstitial edema. We conclude that rTNF alpha induces a response in awake sheep remarkable similar to that of endotoxemia. Because endotoxin is a known stimulant of TNF alpha production, TNF alpha may mediate endotoxin-induced lung injury. 相似文献

Cyclooxygenase inhibitors have been reported to accentuate pulmonary hypertension and to improve gas exchange in oleic acid (OA) lung injury (Leeman et al. J. Appl. Physiol. 65: 662-668, 1988), suggesting inhibition of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction by a vasodilating prostaglandin. To test this hypothesis, the hypoxic pulmonary vasoreactivity was examined at constant flow (Q; with an arteriovenous femoral bypass or a balloon catheter placed in the inferior vena cava) before and after OA in three groups of anesthetized and ventilated [inspired O2 fraction (FIO2) 0.4] dogs. Intrapulmonary shunt was measured using a SF6 infusion. A time control group (n = 7) had two consecutive hypoxic challenges after OA and received no drug. A treatment group (n = 6) received indomethacin (2 mg/kg iv) before the second hypoxic challenge after OA. A pretreatment group received indomethacin (2 mg/kg iv, n = 7) or aspirin (30 mg/kg iv, n = 6) before OA. In control and treated dogs, the hypoxic pulmonary vasopressor response was attenuated after OA. It was restored after indomethacin but also during the second hypoxic stimulus in the control dogs. After OA, gas exchange at FIO2 0.4 improved with indomethacin but not in controls. In pretreated dogs the hypoxic vasopressor response to hypoxia was preserved after OA, and gas exchange at FIO2 0.4 was less deteriorated compared with nonpretreated dogs (arterial O2 pressure 139 +/- 7 vs. 76 +/- 6 Torr, P less than 0.01, and intrapulmonary shunt 14 +/- 2 vs. 41 +/- 5%, P less than 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We studied the effects of regional alveolar hypoxia on permeability pulmonary edema resulting from venous air embolization. Anesthetized dogs had the left upper lobe removed and a double-lumen tube placed so that right lung and left lower lobe (LLL) could be ventilated independently. Air was infused into the femoral vein for 1 h during bilateral ventilation at an inspiratory O2 fraction (FIO2) of 1.0. After cessation of air infusion the LLL was then ventilated with a hypoxic gas mixture (FIO2 = 0.05) in six animals and an FIO2 of 1.0 in six other animals. Lung hydroxyproline content was measured as an index of lung dry weight. LLL bloodless lobar wet weight-to-hydroxyproline ratio was 0.33 +/- 0.06 mg/micrograms in the animals exposed to LLL hypoxia and 0.37 +/- 0.03 mg/micrograms (NS) in the animals that had a LLL FIO2 of 1. Both values were significantly higher than our laboratory normal values of 0.19 +/- 0.01 mg/micrograms. We subsequently found in four more dogs exposed to global alveolar hypoxia before and after air embolism that the air injury itself significantly depressed the hypoxic vasoconstrictor response. We conclude that regional alveolar hypoxia has no effect on pulmonary edema formation due to air embolism. The most likely reason for these findings is that the air embolism injury itself interfered with hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. 相似文献

We studied the effects of regional alveolar hypoxia on permeability pulmonary edema formation. Anesthetized dogs had a bronchial divider placed so that the left lower lobe (LLL) could be ventilated with a hypoxic gas mixture (HGM) while the right lung was continuously ventilated with 100% O2. Bilateral permeability edema was induced with 0.05 ml/kg oleic acid and after 4 h of LLL ventilation with an HGM (n = 9) LLL gross weight was 161 +/- 13 (SE) g compared with 204 +/- 13 (SE) g (P less than 0.05) in the right lower lobe (RLL). Bloodless lobar water and dry weight were also significantly lower in the LLL as compared with the RLL of the study animals. In seven control animals in which the LLL fractional inspired concentration of O2 (FIO2) was 1.0 during permeability edema, there were no differences in gravimetric variables between LLL and RLL. In eight additional animals, pulmonary capillary pressure (Pc), measured by simultaneous occlusion of left pulmonary artery and vein, was not significantly different between LLL FIO2 of 1.0 and 0.05 either before or after pulmonary edema. We conclude that, in the presence of permeability pulmonary edema, regional alveolar hypoxia causes reduction in edema formation. The decreased edema formation during alveolar hypoxia is not due to a reduction in Pc. 相似文献

This study examined the effect of acute endotoxemia on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) in awake sheep. Thirteen sheep were chronically instrumented with Silastic catheters in the pulmonary artery, left atrium, jugular vein, and carotid artery; with a Swan-Ganz catheter in the main pulmonary artery; with a chronic lung lymph fistula; and with a tracheostomy. Base-line HPV was determined by measuring the change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) while sheep breathed 12% O2 for 7 min. Concentrations of immunoreactive 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) were measured in lung lymph during the hypoxic challenge. Escherichia coli endotoxin (0.2-0.5 micrograms/kg) was infused intravenously. Four hours after endotoxemia, HPV was measured. In five sheep, meclofenamate was infused at 4.5 h after endotoxemia and HPV measured again. During the base-line hypoxic challenge, PVR increased by 36 +/- 9% (mean +/- SE). There was no significant change in lung lymph 6-keto-PGF1 alpha or TXB2 levels with hypoxia. Twelve of the 13 sheep showed a decrease in HPV 4 h after endotoxemia; the mean change in PVR with hypoxia was -8 +/- 5%, which was significantly (P less than 0.05) reduced compared with base-line HPV. The infusion of meclofenamate at 4.5 h after endotoxin did not restore HPV. 相似文献

We determined the effects of paraquat (PQ) concentrations ranging from 10(-3) to 10(-2) M and three levels of venous PO2 [hypoxia (41 +/- 3 Torr), normoxia (147 +/- 8 Torr), and hyperoxia (444 +/- 17 Torr)] in the presence of 4 x 10(-3) M PQ on microvascular permeability in isolated blood-perfused dog lungs. Capillary filtration coefficient (Kf,c) increased and isogravimetric capillary pressure (Pc,i) decreased 3 h after perfusion with 10(-2) M PQ (n = 7) and 5 h after perfusion with 4 x 10(-3) M PQ (n = 6) but not with 10(-3) M PQ (n = 4). In hyperoxic lungs perfused with 4 x 10(-3) M PQ, Kf,c increased to nine times the base-line value 5 h after PQ [0.15 +/- 0.01 to 1.35 +/- 0.25 (SE) ml.min-1.cmH2O-1.100 g-1]. Pc,i significantly decreased from a base-line value of 9.4 +/- 0.2 to 7.1 +/- 0.4 cmH2O at 3 h. In hypoxic lungs perfused with 4 x 10(-3) M PQ (n = 5), Pc,i and Kf,c changes were not significantly different from those in normoxic lungs treated with PQ. Thus both hyperoxia and an increased dose of PQ shortened the latent period and increased the severity of the PQ-induced microvascular permeability lesion, but hypoxia failed to prevent the PQ damage. 相似文献

The H2 clearance technique was used to determine the blood flow of the postulated respiratory chemosensitive areas near the ventrolateral surface of the medulla. In 12 pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized cats, flow (mean +/- SD) was measured from 25-micron Teflon-coated platinum wire electrodes implanted to a depth of 0.3-0.7 mm. Flow (in ml X min-1 X 100 g-1, n = 35) was 52.8 +/- 28.5 in hypocapnia [arterial CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) = 21.8 +/- 1.6 Torr], 57.8 +/- 27.5 in normocapnia (PaCO2 = 31.9 +/- 2.2 Torr), and 75.0 +/- 31.7 in hypercapnia (PaCO2 = 44.5 +/- 3.0 Torr). Flow determined from 15 electrodes in adjacent pyramidal tracts (white matter) was less at all levels of CO2; 22.9 +/- 12.3 in hypocapnia, 29.1 +/- 15.9 in normocapnia, and 33.9 +/- 13.9 in hypercapnia. In hypoxia [arterial O2 partial pressure (PaO2) = 39.9 +/- 6.3 Torr] ventrolateral surface flow rose to 87.9 +/- 47.6, and adjacent white matter flow was 35.8 +/- 15.6. These results indicate that flow in the postulated central chemoreceptor areas exceeds that of white matter and is sensitive to variations in PaCO2 and PaO2. 相似文献

The role of carotid body chemoreceptors in ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia, i.e., the progressive, time-dependent increase in ventilation during the first several hours or days of hypoxic exposure, is not well understood. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the effects of acute and prolonged (up to 4 h) hypoxia on carotid body chemoreceptor discharge frequency in anesthetized goats. The goat was chosen for study because of its well-documented and rapid acclimatization to hypoxia. The response of the goat carotid body to acute progressive isocapnic hypoxia was similar to other species, i.e., a hyperbolic increase in discharge as arterial PO2 (PaO2) decreased. The response of 35 single chemoreceptor fibers to an isocapnic [arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) 38-40 Torr)] decrease in PaO2 of from 100 +/- 1.7 to 40.7 +/- 0.5 (SE) Torr was an increase in mean discharge frequency from 1.7 +/- 0.2 to 5.8 +/- 0.4 impulses. During sustained isocapnic steady-state hypoxia (PaO2 39.8 +/- 0.5 Torr, PaCO2, 38.4 +/- 0.4 Torr) chemoreceptor afferent discharge frequency remained constant for the first hour of hypoxic exposure. Thereafter, single-fiber chemoreceptor afferents exhibited a progressive, time-related increase in discharge (1.3 +/- 0.2 impulses.s-1.h-1, P less than 0.01) during sustained hypoxia of up to 4-h duration. These data suggest that increased carotid chemoreceptor activity contributes to ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia. 相似文献

The extent to which the systemic vasculature is involved in soluble-particle uptake in the conducting airways has not been studied extensively. In anesthetized, ventilated sheep, 6-10 microl of technetium-99m-labeled diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) was delivered through a microspray nozzle to a fourth-generation airway. Perfusion of the cannulated bronchial artery was varied between control flow (0.6 ml x min(-1) x kg(-1)), high flow (1.8 ml x min(-1) x kg(-1)) or no flow (the infusion pump was stopped). Airway retention of the radioactive tracer was monitored using gamma camera imaging, and venous blood was sampled. During control perfusion, tracer retention at the site of deposition at 30 min averaged 20 +/- 6% (n = 7). With no flow, retention was significantly elevated to 32 +/- 8% (P = 0.03). In another group of sheep (n = 5) with a control retention of 13 +/- 4%, high flow resulted in an increase in tracer (25 +/- 4%; P = 0.04). Maximum blood uptake of tracer was calculated by estimating circulating blood volume and averaged 16% of total activity during control flow. Only during high-flow conditions was 99mTc-DTPA in the blood decreased (10%; P = 0.04). Most of the tracer was cleared by mucociliary clearance as visualized by imaging. This component was substantially decreased during no flow. The results demonstrate that both decreased and increased airway perfusion limit removal of soluble tracer applied to the conducting airways. 相似文献

Tracheal blood flow and 99mTc-labeled diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) clearance were measured in the sheep trachea in vivo. The tracheal arteries were isolated and perfused. An isolated segment of tracheal lumen was filled with Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 99mTc-DTPA, and radioactivity was measured in blood from a catheterized tracheal vein. Infusions at constant pressure of methacholine (n = 5), albuterol (n = 6), and histamine (n = 5) increased arterial inflow [+250 +/- 73.0, +74.2 +/- 22.9, +68.9 +/- 39.2% (SE), respectively] and venous outflow (+49.5 +/- 13.8, +11.6 +/- 4.5, +6.2 +/- 13.9%) but decreased 99mTc-DTPA output (-36.8 +/- 8.4, -20.4 +/- 6.2, -58.1 +/- 11.7%) and concentration (-53.9 +/- 10.1, -27.3 +/- 7.5, -49.3 +/- 14.4%). Phenylephrine (n = 9) decreased arterial inflow (-49.4 +/- 10.0%) and venous outflow (-4.1 +/- 5.9%) but increased 99mTc-DTPA output (+74.6 +/- 44.2%) and concentration (+94.4 +/- 56.6%). When the tracheal arteries were initially perfused at constant flow and the flow rate was then changed, 50% increases in flow (n = 5) increased perfusion pressure (+35.9 +/- 2.2%) and venous outflow (+10.5 +/- 3.8%) but decreased 99mTc-DTPA output (-24.4 +/- 7.8%) and concentration (-30.4 +/- 8.8%). Decreases in flow of 50% (n = 3) and 100% (n = 10) decreased perfusion pressure (-34.2 +/- 4.2, -80.1 +/- 3.5%, respectively) and venous outflow (-11.0 +/- 4.8, -29.7 +/- 7.2%) but increased 99mTc-DTPA output (+45.9 +/- 27.5, +167.4 +/- 70.4%) and concentration (+64.7 +/- 26.7, +305.7 +/- 110.2%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Although positive airway pressure is often used to treat acute pulmonary edema, the effects on epithelial solute flux are not well known. We measured independently the effect of 1) positive pressure and 2) voluntary hyperinflation on the clearance of inhaled technetium-99m-labeled diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) in six nonsmokers and six smokers. Lung volumes were monitored by inductance plethysmography. Each subject was studied in four situations: 1) low end-expiratory volume (LO-), 2) low volume plus 9 cmH2O continuous positive airway pressure (LO+), 3) high end-expiratory volume (HI-), and 4) high volume plus continuous positive airway pressure (HI+). The clearance half time of 99mTc-DTPA for the nonsmokers decreased from 64.8 +/- 7.0 min (mean +/- SE) at LO- to 23.2 +/- 5.3 min at HI- (P less than 0.05). Positive pressure had no synergistic effect. The mean clearance half time for the smokers was faster than nonsmokers at base line but unaffected by similar changes in thoracic volume and pressure. We conclude that, in nonsmokers, positive airway pressure increases 99mTc-DTPA clearance primarily through an increase in lung volume and that smokers are immune to these effects. 相似文献
