The effect of increased sympathetic activity on skeletal muscle blood flow during acute anemic hypoxia was studied in 16 anesthetized dogs. Sympathetic activity was altered by clamping the carotid arteries bilaterally below the carotid sinus. One group (n = 8) was beta blocked by administration of propranolol (1 mg/kg); a second group (n = 8) was untreated. Venous outflow from the left hindlimb was isolated for measurement of blood flow and O2 uptake (VO2). After a 20-min control period, both carotid arteries were clamped (CC) for 20 min followed by a 20-min recovery period. The sequence was repeated after hematocrit was lowered to about 15% by dextran exchange for blood. Prior to anemia, CC did not alter cardiac output or limb blood flow in either group. After induction of anemia, hindlimb resistance was higher with CC in the beta block than in the no block group. Both limb blood flow and VO2 fell in the beta-block group with CC during anemia. Beta block also prevented the additive increases in whole body VO2 seen with CC and induction of anemia. The data showed that the increased vasoconstrictor tone that was obtained with beta block during anemia was successful in redistributing the lower viscosity blood away from resting skeletal muscle, even to the point that muscle VO2 was decreased.  相似文献

We studied the extreme hemodilution to a hematocrit of 11% induced by three plasma expanders: polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated albumin (PEG-Alb), 6% 70-kDa dextran, and 6% 500-kDa dextran. The experimental component of our study relied on microelectrodes and cardiac output to measure both the rheological properties of plasma-expander blood mixtures and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in vessel walls. The modeling component consisted of an analysis of the distribution of wall shear stress (WSS) in the microvessels. Our experiments demonstrated that plasma expansion with PEG-Alb caused a state of supraperfusion with cardiac output 40% above baseline, significantly increased NO vessel wall bioavailability, and lowered peripheral vascular resistance. We attributed this behavior to the shear thinning nature of blood and PEG-Alb mixtures. To substantiate this hypothesis, we developed a mathematical model of non-Newtonian blood flow in a vessel. Our model used the Quemada rheological constitutive relationship to express blood viscosity in terms of both hematocrit and shear rate. The model revealed that the net effect of the hemodilution induced by relatively low-viscosity shear thinning PEG-Alb plasma expanders is to reduce overall blood viscosity and to increase the WSS, thus intensifying endothelial NO production. These changes act synergistically, significantly increasing cardiac output and perfusion due to lowered overall peripheral vascular resistance.  相似文献

Previous studies have concluded that polycythemia decreases oxygen delivery primarily because of a large fall in cardiac output associated with a rise in systemic vascular resistance that has been attributed to increased blood viscosity. However, because other studies have shown that polycythemia may not reduce oxygen delivery, an alternative hypothesis is that cardiac output falls in response to a rising oxygen content, thereby maintaining oxygen delivery constant. To determine whether oxygen content participates in the regulation of cardiac output during polycythemia, we studied eight chronically instrumented dogs trained to exercise on a treadmill. The dogs underwent exchange transfusion with packed red blood cells containing methemoglobin, which caused an increase in hematocrit from 35 +/- 1 to 50 +/- 1% and in viscosity, with little change in oxygen content. The expected fall in exercise cardiac output failed to occur after exchange transfusion with red blood cells containing methemoglobin (7.5 +/- 4 vs. 6.8 +/- 0.5 l/min; P = not significant), and there was no rise in systemic vascular resistance. Methylene blue was then administered intravenously to facilitate conversion of methemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin, which increased oxygen content (12.8 +/- 0.9 vs. 18.4 +/- 0.9 vol%; P < 0.01) with no change in hematocrit or viscosity. Resting cardiac output did not change significantly, but there was a significant decrease in exercise output (6.8 +/- 0.5 vs. 5.8 +/- 0.4 l/min; P < 0.05). Thus we conclude that the fall in cardiac output seen in acute polycythemia results in part from the regulation of oxygen delivery and is not due solely to increased blood viscosity.  相似文献

Circulating fatty acids are normally transported principally bound to serum albumin. We examined whether administering oleic acid (OA) in a concentrated albumin solution would attenuate its edemogenic potential in the isolated dog lung lobe perfused with a solution nearly depleted of blood cellular and protein components. The isolated ventilated lower left lobe (LLL) was perfused (7.3 +/- 0.6 ml X min-1 X g LLL-1) with a balanced salt solution containing 6% dextran and approximately 10% serum (vol/vol). Hourly weight gain, net LLL weight gain, and wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D) were used as indices of extravascular lung fluid changes. Group I lobes (n = 5) were given saline, whereas both group II (n = 5) and III (n = 5) lobes were administered 1 microliter OA/kg body wt. The OA was incubated with 5 ml of albumin solution containing approximately 640 mg of bovine fatty acid-free albumin before infusion into group III lobes. Group I gained weight at rate of 10.8 +/- 0.5 g X h-1 X 100 g LLL-1 after saline, whereas group II exhibited a greater (P less than 0.005) rate of weight gain of 42 +/- 13 after OA. Group III weight gain of 8.4 +/- 0.5 g X h-1 X 100 g LLL-1 was not different (P greater than 0.05) from group I but was lower (P less than 0.005) than group II.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Iron has been shown to be the limiting factor for erythropoiesis. The anemia and polycythemia effect on iron supplied to the bone marrow has been studied in a group of rabbits, by modifying the hematocrit without altering of the blood volume. The cardiac output and the percentage of blood flow to the skeleton was measured using 57Co and 113Sn radiolabelled microspheres, before and after the exchange of blood by plasma or red blood cells concentrates. In addition, ferrokinetic measurements were performed with 55Fe and 59Fe. The production of an acute anemia induced an increase in the cardiac output from 156 +/- 35 to 239 +/- 89 ml/min/kg and a decrease in the percentage of the total blood flow to the skeleton from 7.58 +/- 2.51 to 4.63 +/- 1.8. The production of an acute polycythemia induced a decrease in the cardiac output (97 +/- 28 ml/min/kg) and an increase in the percentage of the total blood flow to the bone marrow (11.69 +/- 4.03). However, in both cases, the absolute amount of blood flow and iron flow to the bone marrow were similar to the controls. These studies demonstrate that anemia or polycythemia per se do not determine the iron supply to the bone marrow.  相似文献

Studies were carried out in seven anesthetized paralyzed dogs to examine the importance of alpha -adrenergic tone in the cardiovascular responses during acute anemia. Data were obtained 1) at normal hematocrit (Hct), 2) during anemia produced by isovolemic hemodilution with dextran (Hct, 13-15%), 3) during anemia after alpha -blockade (alpha -bl) with phenoxybenzamine (3 mg/kg), and 4) following volume expansion during anemia with a red blood cell dextran solution. Cardiac output (QT), limb and total body oxygen uptake (VO2), and limb blood flow (QL) were determined. Both QT and QL increased during anemia (P less than 0.01), whereas limb resistance (RL) and total peripheral resistance (TPR) were decreased (P less than 0.01). No further change in either RL or TPR occurred with alpha -blockade anemia, but both QT and QL decreased (P less than 0.01). Whole-body VO2 increased during anemia and then declined with alpha -bl and anemia. Following volume expansion during anemia with alpha -bl, QT, QL, and whole-body VO2 increased. We conclude that alpha -adrenergic sympathetic tone to capacitance vessels is essential for the cardiac output increased during anemia, but has little or no effect on resistance vessels and hence distribution of peripheral blood flow.  相似文献

A peptic hydrolysate of soybean protein was filtered with Sephadex G–25 and was separated approximately into four fractions (I, II, II, and IV in the order of mol. wt.). Fraction II (av. mol. wt: 1043) and III (av. mol. Wt.: 685) were more plastein-productive than others. When plastein produced from Fraction II with Nagarse was investigated by plate electrophoresis using 7.5% polyacrylamide-gel, the upper limit of the molecular weight was found to be about 25,000. A similar result was obtained also with Fraction III. The increase of molecular weight in the course of the plastein formation with the mixture (substrate) of Fractions II and III was shown that the final product lay mainly in a position between cytochrome c (mol. wt.: 11,700) and Nagarse (mol wt.: 27,600). In addition, the gel-electrophoretic experiments revealed that the most favorable condition for the plastein synthesis were pH 6.5 and 35% in substrate concentration.  相似文献

The mechanisms by which the body attempts to avoid tissue hypoxia when total body oxygen delivery is compromised during acute anemia are reviewed. When the hematocrit is reduced by isovolemic hemodilution the compensatory adjustments include an increase in cardiac output, redistribution of blood flow to some tissues, and an increase in the whole body oxygen extraction ratio. These responses permit whole body oxygen uptake to be maintained until the hematocrit has been lowered to about 10%. Several factors are discussed which contribute to the increase in cardiac output during acute anemia including the reduction in blood viscosity, sympathetic innervation of the heart, and increased venomotor tone. The latter has been shown to be dependent on intact aortic chemoreceptors. With respect to peripheral vascular responses, the rise in coronary and cerebral blood flows which occur following hemodilution is proportionally greater than the increase in cardiac output while the opposite is true for kidney, liver, spleen, and intestine. Skeletal muscle does not contribute to a redistribution of blood flow to more vital areas during acute anemia despite its relatively large anaerobic capacity. Overall, peripheral compensatory adjustments result in an increased oxygen extraction ratio during acute anemia which reflects a better matching of the limited oxygen supply to tissue oxygen demands. However, some areas such as muscle are relatively overperfused which limits an even more efficient utilization of the reduced oxygen supply. Studies of the response of the microcirculation and the extent to which sympathetic vascular controls are involved in peripheral blood flow regulation are necessary to further appreciate the complex pattern of physiological responses which help ensure survival of the organism during acute anemia.  相似文献

The effect of synthetic polyanion dextran sulphate on the development and recovery of radiation-induced haemopoietic damage in mice was investigated. Dextran sulphate (mol. wt. 500,000 D) in the dose of 40 mg.kg-1 of body weight was injected i.p. 3 days before single total body irradiation with a dose of 7.8 Gy gamma-rays. The animals were examined from hour 6 to day 26 after irradiation, i.e. from hour 78 to day 29 after DS-treatment. In irradiated mice DS-pretreatment showed some positive effect on the CFU-S number in bone marrow (less in spleen and blood), bone marrow cellularity, attenuated the radiation-induced changes of erythrocytes (number, MCV) and of RNA concentration in blood. The changes of other parameters (spleen cellularity, liver CFU-S, leukocyte count and DNA concentration in blood) were the same as in unprotected animals. In conclusion, we can say that DS-pretreatment had a beneficial effect on the recovery of radiation-induced damage of erythropoiesis but not on granulopoiesis or lymphopoiesis.  相似文献

Cardiac reactivity of beta-adrenergic stimulation was assessed by isoproterenol dose-reponse curves (dose range 0.025-0.4 mug/kg) before and 1 h after the rapid induction of anemia in dogs anesthetized with halothane:N2O:O2. Anemai (hematocrit = 16 +/- 4%) was induced by an isovolumic exchange transfusion with Dextran 70, and was followed by significant increments in cardiac output (+57 +/- 9%), max dP/dt of the left ventricle (+37 +/- 7%), and in peak acceleration of blood flow in the ascending aorta (+46 +/- 13%). Anemia was associated with a significant reduction of the chronotropic responses to all but the lowest dose of isoproterenol. The simultaneously determined inotropic responses (max dP/dt) where the same before and after the induction of anemia. The responses in terms of peak acceleration of aortic blood flow tended to be greater in the anemic than in the control phase, at all dose levels used. These findings indicate that in rapidly induced experimental anemia the heart is capable of responding to marked degrees of beta-adrenergic stimulation, representing a more than two-fold increase in the dP/dt.  相似文献

The hamster window chamber model was used to study systemic and microvascular hemodynamic responses to extreme hemodilution with low- and high-viscosity plasma expanders (LVPE and HVPE, respectively) to determine whether plasma viscosity is a factor in homeostasis during extreme anemic conditions. Moderated hemodilution was induced by two isovolemic steps performed with 6% 70-kDa dextran until systemic hematocrit (Hct) was reduced to 18% (level 2). In a third isovolemic step, hemodilution with LVPE (6% 70-kDa dextran, 2.8 cP) or HVPE (6% 500-kDa dextran, 5.9 cP) reduced Hct to 11%. Systemic parameters, cardiac output (CO), organ flow distribution, microhemodynamics, and functional capillary density, were measured after each exchange dilution. Fluorescent-labeled microspheres were used to measure organ (brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, and spleen) and window chamber blood flow. Final blood and plasma viscosities after the entire protocol were 2.1 and 1.4 cP, respectively, for LVPE and 2.8 and 2.2 cP, respectively, for HVPE (baseline = 4.2 and 1.2 cP, respectively). HVPE significantly elevated mean arterial pressure and CO compared with LVPE but did not increase vascular resistance. Functional capillary density was significantly higher for HVPE [87% (SD 7) of baseline] than for LVPE [42% (SD 11) of baseline]. Increases in mean arterial blood pressure, CO, and shear stress-mediated factors could be responsible for maintaining organ and microvascular perfusion after exchange with HVPE compared with LVPE. Microhemodynamic data corresponded to microsphere-measured perfusion data in vital organs.  相似文献

The effect of intravenous infusion of monoacetoacetin (glycerol monoacetoacetate) as a non-protein energy source was evaluated in burned rats. During 3 days of parenteral nutrition, in which animals received 14 g of amino acids/kg body wt. per day exclusively (group I) or with the addition of isoenergetic amounts (523 kJ/kg per day) of dextrose (group II), a 1:1 mixture of dextrose and monoacetoacetin (group III) or monoacetoacetin (group IV), significant decreases in urinary nitrogen excretion and whole-body leucine oxidation were observed in the three groups given additional non-protein energy as compared with group I. Serum ketone bodies (acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate) were decreased in rats given dextrose, whereas glucose and insulin increased significantly. Monoacetoacetin-infused animals (group IV) had high concentrations of ketone bodies without changes in glucose and insulin, whereas animals infused with both monoacetoacetin and glucose (group III) showed intermediate values. On day 4 of nutritional support, whole-body L-leucine kinetics were measured by using a constant infusion of L-[1-14C]leucine. In comparison with group I, the addition of dextrose or monoacetoacetin produced a significant decrease in plasma leucine appearance and release from whole-body protein breakdown. Gastrocnemius-muscle protein-synthesis rates were also higher in the three groups receiving additional non-protein energy. These findings suggest that monoacetoacetin can effectively replace dextrose as an intravenous energy source in stressed rats. Both fuels are similar in decreasing weight loss, nitrogen excretion, leucine release from whole-body protein breakdown and oxidation, in spite of differences in energy substrate and insulin concentrations.  相似文献

Extreme hemodilution was performed in the hamster chamber window model using 6% Dextran 70, lowering systemic hematocrit by 60%. Animals were subsequently divided into three groups and hemodiluted to a hematocrit of 11% using 6% Dextran 70, 6% Dextran 500, and a 4% Dextran 70 + 0.7% alginate solution (n = 6 each group). Final plasma viscosities were 1.4 +/- 0.2, 2.2 +/- 0.1, and 2.7 +/- 0.2 cp, respectively, (P < 0.05, high viscosity vs. low viscosity). Blood viscosities were 2.1 +/- 0.2, 2.9 +/- 0.4, and 3.9 +/- 0.3 cp, respectively. The lowest blood and plasma viscosity group had a significantly lower functional capillary density, 37 +/- 16%, whereas the two high-viscosity solutions were 71 +/- 15% and 76 +/- 12% (P < 0.05, high viscosity vs. low viscosity), respectively. Arteriolar and venular flow in the Dextran 500 and alginate groups was higher than baseline (i.e., normal nontreated animals), whereas the low-viscosity group showed a reduction in flow. These microvascular changes were paralleled by changes in base excess, which was negative for the Dextran 70 group and positive for the other groups. However, tissue Po(2) was uniformly low for all groups (average of 1.4 mmHg). Calculation of tissue oxygen consumption in the window chamber based on the microvascular data, flow, and intravascular Po(2) showed that only the alginate + Dextran 70 solution-exchanged animals returned to baseline oxygen consumption, whereas the other groups were lower than baseline (P < 0.05). These results show that hemodilution performed with high-viscosity plasma expanders yields systemic arterial pressures and functional capillary densities that are significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those obtained with 6% Dextran 70, a fluid whose viscosity is similar to that of plasma. A condition for obtaining these results is that the oncotic pressure of the plasma expander be titrated to near normal, so that autotransfusion of fluid from the tissue into the vascular compartment does not reduce the effects of increasing plasma viscosity and increased shear stress on the microvascular wall.  相似文献

The effect of anemia on the coronary microcirculation was studied in young male rats. Chronic anemia resulted in increased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and decreased functional reserve. Cardiac mass in anemic animals increased by 25%. Capillary and arteriolar densities in these hearts remained unchanged, indicating angiogenesis in this experimental situation (estimated aggregate capillary length in the left ventricle of anemic hearts was 3.06 km compared with 2.35 km in control hearts). Capillary hematocrit was decreased in chronic anemia less than systemic hematocrit: from 25 to 18% in anemia versus 45 to 28% in controls. Capillary hematocrit and red blood cell spacing were also studied after acute blood withdrawal. Here, capillary hematocrit was preserved even more: 22 versus 24% in systemic hematocrit. Finally, the same was studied in isolated hearts perfused with solutions of various hematocrits. After perfusion with low-hematocrit solution (14%), the capillary hematocrit (24%) was even higher than the perfusate hematocrit! In conclusion, we found evidence of angiogenesis in cardiomegaly induced by chronic anemia. Microvascular growth was accompanied by advantageous regulation of red blood cell spacing within these vessels. This was even more pronounced during acute hemodilution and in isolated perfused hearts.  相似文献

In hemodilution, red cell spacing in the microcirculation is increased, flow distribution may become more heterogeneous, and, as a result, oxygen supply to tissues may suffer. We tested the hypothesis that oxygen extraction from diluted blood may be enhanced by the presence of hemoglobin in the plasma phase in relatively low concentrations. In anesthetized dogs, the hindlimb vascular bed was isolated and perfused with the animal's own blood by a roller pump. One group of dogs (n = 6) was hemodiluted (hematocrit = 15.0 +/- 1.0%) with a 6% solution of dextran. A second group of dogs (n = 6) was similarly hemodiluted (hematocrit = 16.0 +/- 0.4%) with dextran containing stroma-free hemoglobin solution whereby plasma-phase hemoglobin concentration was raised to 1.1 +/- 0.1 g.dL-1. Systemic hemodynamic observations were made repeatedly over the subsequent 2.5 h, while blood flow to the hindlimb was progressively reduced in stepwise decrements. The hemoglobin-hemodiluted group showed increased systemic arterial blood pressure and total peripheral resistance when compared with the control (dextran diluted) group. The isolated hindlimb also showed evidence of increased vascular resistance in the hemoglobin-treated group. In each individual animal, critical oxygen delivery and extraction were determined by finding the intercept of the supply-independent and supply-dependent portions of the oxygen uptake/oxygen delivery relationship. Neither the critical oxygen delivery rates (5.75 +/- 0.83 vs. 6.41 +/- 0.53 mL.kg-1.min-1) nor critical oxygen extraction ratios (0.75 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.76 +/- 0.04) were found to be significantly different in the two groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

4 x 5 growing female rabbits (New Zealand White) with an initial live weight of 610 +/- 62 g were fed a torula yeast based semisynthetic diet low in selenium (<0.03 mg/kg diet) and containing <2 mg alpha-tocopherol per kg (group I). Group II received a vitamin E supplementation of 150 mg alpha-tocopherylacetate per kg diet, whereas for group III 0.40 mg Se as Na-selenite and for group IV both supplements were added. Selenium status and parameters of tissue damage were analyzed after 10 weeks on experiment (live weight 2,355 +/- 145 g). Selenium depletion of the Se deficient rabbits (groups I and II) was indicated by a significantly lower plasma Se content (group I: 38.3 +/- 6.23 microg Se/mL plasma, group II: 42.6 +/- 9.77, group III: 149 +/- 33.4, group IV: 126 +/- 6.45) and a significantly lower liver Se content (group I: 89.4 +/- 18.2 microg/kg fresh matter, group II: 111 +/- 26.2) as compared to the Se supplemented groups III (983 +/- 204) and IV (926 +/- 73.9). After 5 weeks on the experimental diets differences in the development of plasma glutathione peroxidase were observed. As compared to the initial status group (45.2 +/- 4.50) pGPx activity in mU/mg protein was decreased in group I (19.1 +/- 7.08), remained almost stable in the vitamin E supplemented group II (46.3 +/- 11.2) whereas an elevated enzyme activity was measured in the Se supplemented groups III (62.4 +/- 23.9) and IV (106 +/- 19.9). In the rabbit organs investigated 10 weeks of Se deficiency caused a significant loss of Se dependent cellular glutathione peroxidase activity (GPx1) of 94% (liver), 80% (kidney), 50% (heart muscle) and 60% (musculus longissimus dorsi) in comparison to Se supplemented control animals. Damage of cellular lipids and proteins in the liver was due to either Se or vitamin E deficiency. However damage was most severe under conditions of a combined Se and vitamin E deficiency. It can be concluded that the activity of plasma glutathione peroxidase is a sensitive indicator of Se deficiency in rabbits. The loss of GPx1 activity indicates the selenium depletion in various rabbit organs. Both selenium and vitamin E are essential and highly efficient antioxidants which protect rabbits against lipid and protein oxidation.  相似文献

Hematological and serum biochemical data obtained from 45 non-pregnant and 142 pregnant cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were analyzed by discriminant analyses. All animals used had been reared under uniform environmental conditions at Tsukuba Primate Center for Medical Science, N. I. H., Japan. The examination items were as follows: red blood cell count(RBC), hematocrit value(Ht), hemoglobin concentration(Hb), mean corpuscular volume(MCV), white blood cell count(WBC), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), glucose (GLU), total cholesterol (TCHO), free cholesterol (FCHO), triglyceride (TG), and albumin-globulin ratio (A/G). The pregnant animals were divided into four groups according to their gestation ages (Group I: 1-40 days; II: 41-80 days; III: 81-120 days; and IV: more than 121 days). During pregnancy period (Groups II, III and IV), significant decrease of TP, ALB, TCHO, FCHO and TG was observed. RBC, Ht and Hb decreased in the last of the four periods of pregnancy (Group IV). Discrimination was possible between each of these four pregnant groups and the non-pregnant group on the basis of the Mahalanobis' generalized distance. To clarify the relationship among groups, canonical discriminant analysis (discriminant analysis with reduction of dimensionality) was carried out. As a result, the non-pregnant group and the pregnant I group could be clearly discriminated from the other pregnant groups (II, III, and IV) by the first canonical variate. Judging from the relative eigenvector value of each variable for the first canonical variate, the effective discriminant variables were RBC, Ht, Hb, MCV, TP and A/G.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Prolonged breath hold (BH) represents a valid model for studying the cardiac adaptation to acute hypoxemia in humans. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) allows a three-dimensional, high-resolution, noninvasive, and nonionizing anatomical and functional evaluation of the heart. The aim of the study was to assess the adaptation of the cardiovascular system to prolonged BH in air. Ten male volunteer diving athletes (age 30 +/- 6 yr) were studied during maximal BH duration with CMR. Four epochs were studied: I, rest; II and III, intermediate BH; and IV, peak BH. Oxygen saturation (So(2)), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), systemic vascular resistance (VR), end-diastolic (EDV) and end-systolic volumes (ESV), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), ejection fraction (EF), maximal elastance index (EL), systolic wall thickening (SWT), and end-systolic wall stress (ESWS) of the left ventricle (LV) were measured in all four BH epochs. Average BH duration was 3.7 +/- 0.3 min. So(2) was reduced (I: 97 +/- 0.2%, range 96-98%, vs. IV: 84 +/- 2.0%, range 76-92%; P < 0.00001). BP, EDV, ESV, SV, CO, and ESWS linearly increased from epochs I to IV, whereas EF, EL, and SWT showed an opposite behavior, decreasing from resting to epoch IV (all trends are P < 0.01). During prolonged BH in air, a marked enlargement of the LV chamber occurs in healthy diving athletes. This response to acute hypoxemia allows SV,CO, and arterial pressure to be maintained despite the severe reduction in LV contractile function.  相似文献

An increased hematocrit could enhance peripheral O2 transport during exercise by improving arterial O2 content. Conversely, it could reduce maximal delivery of O2 by limiting cardiac output during exercise or by limiting the distribution of blood flow to peripheral capillaries with high O2 extractions. We studied O2 transport at rest and during graded treadmill exercise in splenectomized tracheostomized dogs at normal hematocrit (38 +/- 3%), and 48 h after transfusion of type-matched donor cells. This procedure increased hematocrit (60 +/- 3%) but also increased blood volume (P less than 0.05). Following transfusion, resting cardiac output (QT) and heart rate were not different. During exercise, QT was significantly lower at each level of O2 consumption (VO2) at high hematocrit (P less than 0.01). A reduction in QT was also seen during polycythemic exercise with hypoxemia produced by breathing 12 or 10% O2 in N2. Despite the reduction in QT, mixed venous PO2 was not lower at high hematocrit, and the increase in base deficit with VO2 was not different from control measurements. O2 delivery (QT X arterial content) was similar at each level of VO2 at both levels of hematocrit, during both normoxic and hypoxic studies. Both systemic and pulmonary arterial pressures were increased at rest after transfusion (P less than 0.05). However, pulmonary and systemic pressures were not higher than control during exercise at high hematocrit. We conclude that a hematocrit of 60% with increased blood volume is not associated with a cardiac limitation of O2 delivery, nor does it interfere with peripheral O2 extraction during exercise in the dog.  相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that neutrophil sequestration is required for the development of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF) induced neutrophil- (PMN) dependent pulmonary edema. TNF (3.2 X 10(5) U/kg ip) was injected into guinea pigs 18 h before lung isolation. After isolation, the lung was perfused with a phosphate-buffered Ringer solution. Dextran sulfate (mol wt 500,000) prevented the changes in pulmonary capillary pressure (Ppc; 8.5 +/- 0.8 vs. 12.8 +/- 0.8 cmH2O), lung weight gain (dW; +0.240 +/- 0.135 vs. +1.951 +/- 0.311 g), and pulmonary edema formation or wet-to-dry wt ratio [(W - D)/D; 6.6 +/- 0.2 vs. 8.3 +/- 0.5] at 60 min induced by PMN infusion into a TNF-pretreated lung. The unsulfated form of dextran had no protective effect [Ppc, dW, and (W - D)/D at 60 min: 11.9 +/- 0.9 cmH2O, +1.650 +/- 0.255 g, and 7.3 +/- 0.2, respectively], whereas the use of another anionic compound, heparin, inhibited the TNF + PMN response [Ppc, dW, and (W - D)/D at 60 min: 5.6 +/- 0.4 cmH2O, +0.168 +/- 0.0.052 g, and 6.4 +/- 0.2, respectively]. Isolated lungs showed increased PMN myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity compared with control in TNF-treated lungs at baseline and 60 min after PMN infusion. Dextran sulfate, dextran, and heparin inhibited the increase in MPO activity. The data indicate that inhibition of PMN sequestration alone is not sufficient for the inhibition of PMN-mediated TNF-induced hydrostatic pulmonary edema and that a charge-dependent mechanism mediates the protective effect of dextran sulfate.  相似文献
