Airway hysteresis can be evaluated by comparing maximal (MEFV) and partial (PEFV) expiratory flow-volume curves. The maneuvers are often obtained from pulmonary function systems that are subject to gas-compression artifacts. Because gas-compression artifacts might differentially affect PEFV vs. MEFV curves, we simultaneously obtained MEFV and PEFV curves by use of a spirometer and a volume-displacement plethysmograph (a method not subject to gas-compression artifacts) in normal and asthmatic subjects. Plethysmographic flow rates exceeded spirometric flow rates on all MEFV and PEFV maneuvers. When maximal flow exceeded partial flow (or vice versa) in the plethysmograph, the same result was virtually always observed for spirometric measurements. Alveolar pressure (PA) was higher on MEFV than on PEFV maneuvers in asthmatic subjects; comparisons between PA (on PEFV and MEFV maneuvers) in normal subjects varied at different lung volumes. Ratios of Vmax on PEFV maneuvers to Vmax on MEFV maneuvers (Vmax-p/Vmax-c) obtained from a volume-displacement plethysmograph differ quantitatively from ratios determined in systems subject to gas-compression artifacts; qualitatively, however, failure to account for thoracic gas compression ordinarily will not influence the ability to identify airway hysteresis (or lack thereof) by use of Vmax-p-to-Vmax-c ratios. 相似文献

Histamine has been shown to mediate features of pulmonary allergic reactions including increased tracheobronchial blood flow. To determine whether the increase in blood flow was due to stimulation of H1- or H2-histamine receptors, we gave histamine base (0.1 micrograms/kg iv) or histamine dihydrochloride as an aerosol (10 breaths of 0.5% "low dose" or 5% "high dose") before and after H1- or H2-receptor antagonists. Blood velocity in the common bronchial branch of the bronchoesophageal artery (Vbr) was continuously measured using a chronically implanted Doppler flow probe. Pretreatment with H2-receptor antagonists cimetidine, ranitidine, or metiamide did not affect the increase in Vbr induced by intravenous histamine [106 +/- 45% (SD)]. Addition of the H1-receptor antagonists diphenhydramine or chlorpheniramine, however, reduced the Vbr response to 16 +/- 22, 21 +/- 28, 23 +/- 23, and 37 +/- 32% of the unblocked responses (P less than 0.05) when intravenous histamine was given at 3, 10, 20, and 30 min, respectively, after the H1 antagonist. At 40, 50, and 60 min the H1-receptor blockade appeared to attenuate, but subsequent continuous infusion of chlorpheniramine (2 mg.kg-1.min-1) then blocked the histamine response for 60 min. Low-dose histamine aerosol did not change mean arterial or pulmonary arterial pressures, cardiac output, or arterial blood gases but increased Vbr transiently from 15.2 +/- 3.4 to 37.6 +/- 8.4 (SE) cm/s. After chlorpheniramine, the Vbr response to histamine, 16.3 +/- 2.2 to 22.6 +/- 3.6 cm/s, was significantly reduced (P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The effects of aging on changes in maximal expiratory flow rates and specific airway conductance after a deep breath were evaluated in 64 normal subjects. Flow rates (Vp) on partial expiratory flow-volume curves (PEFV), initiated from 60-70% of the vital capacity (VC), were compared with those (Vc) on maximal flow-volume curves (MEFV), initiated from total lung capacity (TLC), at a lung volume corresponding to 25% of VC on the MEFV curves. Specific airway conductance was measured before (sGaw) and after a deep inspiration (sGawDI). Bronchodilation after inspiration to TLC was inferred by Vp/Vc less than 1 and sGaw/sGawDI less than 1. The mean Vp was less than Vc. However, the ratio Vp/Vc increased significantly with age (r = 0.75, P less than 0.001). Specific conductance also increased after a deep inspiration (sGaw less than sGawDI). The ratio sGaw/sGawDIj increased slightly but significantly with age (r = 0.28, P less than 0.02). Measurement of lung elastic recoil pressures before and after a deep breath in a subgroup of patients (n = 14) suggested that the age-related increase in Vp/Vc was secondary to a decrement in the ability of a deep breath to decrease the upstream airway resistance. These findings suggest that even though changes in airway size after a deep breath as measured by sGaw/sGawDI have minimal age dependence, aging diminishes expiratory flow rates of MEFV curves relative to PEFV curves because of a decrease in the ability of a deep breath to increase the size of the peripheral airways. 相似文献

The contribution of pH to exercise-induced arterial O2 desaturation was evaluated by intravenous infusion of sodium bicarbonate (Bic, 1 M; 200-350 ml) or an equal volume of saline (Sal; 1 M) at a constant infusion rate during a "2,000-m" maximal ergometer row in five male oarsmen. Blood-gas variables were corrected to the increase in blood temperature from 36.5 +/- 0.3 to 38.9 +/- 0.1 degrees C (P < 0.05; means +/- SE), which was established in a pilot study. During Sal exercise, pH decreased from 7.42 +/- 0.01 at rest to 7.07 +/- 0.02 but only to 7.34 +/- 0.02 (P < 0.05) during the Bic trial. Arterial PO2 was reduced from 103.1 +/- 0.7 to 88.2 +/- 1.3 Torr during exercise with Sal, and this reduction was not significantly affected by Bic. Arterial O2 saturation was 97.5 +/- 0.2% at rest and decreased to 89.0 +/- 0.7% during Sal exercise but only to 94.1 +/- 1% with Bic (P < 0.05). Arterial PCO2 was not significantly changed from resting values in the last minute of Sal exercise, but in the Bic trial it increased from 40.5 +/- 0.5 to 45.9 +/- 2.0 Torr (P < 0.05). Pulmonary ventilation was lowered during exercise with Bic (155 +/- 14 vs. 142 +/- 13 l/min; P < 0.05), but the exercise-induced increase in the difference between the end-tidal O2 pressure and arterial PO2 was similar in the two trials. Also, pulmonary O2 uptake and changes in muscle oxygenation as determined by near-infrared spectrophotometry during exercise were similar. The enlarged blood-buffering capacity after infusion of Bic attenuated acidosis and in turn arterial desaturation during maximal exercise. 相似文献

The effects of an intravenous infusion of porcine GIP on beta-cell secretion in patients with untreated type 2 diabetes mellitus have been studied. The subjects were studied on two separate days. After a 10 h overnight fast and a further 120 min basal period they were given an intravenous infusion of porcine GIP (2 pmol.kg-1.min-1) or control solution in random order from 120-140 min. Frequent plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide and GIP measurements were made throughout and the study was continued until 200 min. Plasma glucose levels were similar throughout both tests. During the GIP infusion there was an early significant rise in insulin concentration from 0.058 +/- 0.006 nmol/l to 0.106 +/- 0.007 nmol/l (P less than 0.01) within 6 min of commencing the GIP infusion and insulin levels reached a peak of 0.131 +/- 0.011 nmol/l at 10 min (P less than 0.01). Insulin levels remained significantly elevated during the rest of the GIP infusion (P less than 0.01-0.001) and returned to basal values 20 min post infusion. No change in basal insulin values was seen during the control infusion. C-peptide levels were similarly raised during the GIP infusion and the increase was significant just 4 min after commencing the GIP infusion (P less than 0.05). GIP levels increased from 16 +/- 3 pmol/l prior to the infusion to a peak of 286 +/- 24 pmol/l 20 min later. At 4 min when a significant beta-cell response was observed GIP levels were well within the physiological range.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

To determine the temporal response of the fetal pulmonary circulation to pharmacologic vasodilators and to assess vasoreactivity following vasodilation, we infused either acetylcholine, histamine, or bradykinin directly into the left pulmonary artery of 21 chronically prepared fetal sheep. Blood flow (Q) to the left lung was measured by electromagnetic flow transducer. Left pulmonary artery infusion of acetylcholine at 1.5 micrograms.min-1 for 2 hr produced an increase in Q from 59 +/- 8 ml.min-1 to a peak of 113 +/- 10 ml.min-1 at 20 min into the infusion (P less than 0.001). After the peak at 20 min, Q steadily declined toward baseline to 66 +/- 7 ml.min-1 at the end of the 2-hr infusion period (P less than 0.01). Q in the 1/2-hr period following infusion was significantly less than the baseline period (47 +/- 6; P less than 0.04) with no change in pulmonary artery pressure. Similar patterns were seen with 2-hr infusions of histamine (150 ng.min-1) and bradykinin (100 ng.min-1). After a 2-hr infusion of one of the agents, a repeat infusion with that agent or a different one resulted in a diminished response. We conclude that fetal pulmonary vasodilation in response to local infusion of acetylcholine, histamine, or bradykinin is not sustained over a 2-hr period, and that following 2-hr exposure to vasodilators, pulmonary vascular resistance is increased and pulmonary vasoreactivity to pharmacologic vasodilators is decreased. 相似文献

A deep inflation (DI) reverses induced bronchoconstriction in normal human subjects whether assessed by airway resistance before and after a DI or by isovolumic maximal expiratory flows (Vmax) from partial expiratory flow-volume (PEFV) vs. maximum expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) maneuvers. These observations suggest that with induced constriction the hysteresis of airways exceeds that of the parenchyma. In contrast with humans, a previous study of ours on dogs indicated that induced increases in airway resistance were unaffected by DI, suggesting that hysteresis of airways and parenchyma were equal. We hypothesized therefore that in constricted dog lungs, any differences that might arise in isovolumic Vmax between PEFV and MEFV maneuvers would not be due to changes in airway caliber but rather would be wholly determined by isovolumic differences in deflational recoil pressures. Recoil pressures were dynamically measured using six separate alveolar capsules in each of six dogs. At base line there were no significant differences between isovolumic recoil pressures or maximal flows with volume history, suggesting equal degrees of airway and parenchymal hysteresis. After histamine-induced constriction there were also no isovolumic differences in flows, but due to striking nonhomogeneities in dynamic recoil pressure among alveolar capsules, it was not possible to express a single meaningful recoil pressure pertinent to the lungs as a whole. These findings are consistent with the idea that isovolumic comparisons of Vmax serve as a reasonable indicator of changes in the relative degree of airway and parenchymal hysteresis. 相似文献

We studied the effects of bronchoconstrictor stimuli administered selectively through isolated-perfused preparations of the bronchial and pulmonary circulations of 80 Sprague-Dawley rats. Dose-related contraction was elicited with infusion of acetylcholine (ACh), histamine, and serotonin (5-HT). Bolus infusion of 10(-5) mol ACh caused a 3.5-fold increase in pulmonary resistance (RL) after infusion into the pulmonary circulation (PC) and a 2.5-fold increase in the bronchial circulation (BC) (P less than 0.05 vs. control) that was blocked selectively in each circulation with atropine. Administration of 10(-5) mol 5-HT into the BC caused only a 45% increase in RL; the same dose of 5-HT caused a 5.1-fold increase in RL in the PC. A biphasic (increase at lower doses/decrease at higher doses) change in RL was elicited by histamine that was converted to dose-related constriction after H2-receptor blockade with cimetidine in both BC and PC. Response to exogenous ACh remained viable for greater than 5 h. Infusion of the mast cell degranulating agent, compound 48/80 (48/80), caused increase in RL that corresponded to quantitative recovery of histamine in the perfusates of both BC and PC. Histamine concentration in the perfusate increased from 47.2 +/- 31.8 (base line) to 624 +/- 60.1 ng/ml (2-fold increase in RL) in the BC and from 38.3 +/- 17.7 (base line) to 294.4 +/- 38.1 ng/ml (50% increase in RL) in the PC (P less than 0.001 vs. baseline concentration) after a 0.1-mg/ml dose of 48/80.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The role of thermoregulatory background in the baroreceptor reflex control of the tail circulation was investigated 1) in anesthetized rats with a constant flow technique and 2) in conscious rats by measuring tail blood flow (venous occlusion plethysmography). In series I, during normothermia, systemic intravenous phenylephrine infusion increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) by 61.0 +/- 3.6 mmHg and induced a reflex decrease in tail perfusion pressure (TPP) from 105.0 +/- 6.3 to 84.2 +/- 4.4 mmHg (P less than 0.005). Hyperthermia decreased TPP to 66.5 +/- 5.1 mmHg (P less than 0.001) and abolished the TPP response to increased MAP (P greater than 0.05). Increases in MAP via systemic infusion of whole blood caused reductions in TPP during normothermia but failed to reduce TPP further during hyperthermia. Graded decreases in MAP during both normothermia and hyperthermia caused tail vasoconstriction. The increase in TPP was greater (P less than 0.025) during hyperthermia. In series II, conscious animals showed similar responses to hemorrhage. Graded decreases in MAP produced graded decreases in tail vascular conductance (TVC, ml.100 ml-1.min-1.100 mmHg-1). The slope of the TVC-MAP relationship averaged 0.011 +/- 0.003 TVC U/mmHg during normothermia and was markedly steeper (P less than 0.01) during hyperthermia (1.99 +/- 0.39 TVC U/mmHg). Thus the participation of the cutaneous vasculature of the rat in baroreceptor reflexes depends on thermal status, probably through the level of background sympathetic vasoconstrictor nerve activity. 相似文献

Pulmonary responses to intravenous leukotrienes C4, D4 and E4 administered as a bolus injection and by continuous infusion were studied in anesthetized guinea pigs. LTD4, LTC4 and LTE4 (respective ED50 of 0.21 +/- .1, 0.64 +/- .2 and 2.0 +/- .1 microgram kg-1) produced dose-dependent increases in insufflation pressure when given as a bolus injection to anesthetized guinea pigs (Konzett-R?ssler). Bronchoconstriction was antagonized by FPL-55712 (50-200 micrograms kg-1), and indomethacin (50-200 micrograms kg-1) but was not significantly altered by mepyramine (1.0 mg kg-1), methysergide (0.1 mg kg-1), intal (10 mg kg-1) mepacrine (5 mg kg-1) or dexamethasone (10 mg kg-1). The beta adrenoceptor blocker, timolol (5 micrograms kg-1) produced a significantly greater potentiation of the responses to the leukotrienes than to arachidonic acid, histamine and acetylcholine. Responses to bolus injection of LTE4 but not LTD4 or LTC4 were partially antagonized by atropine (100 micrograms kg-1) and bilateral vagotomy. In experiments of a different design, continuous infusion of LTD4 and LTE4 (2.8-3.2 micrograms kg-1 min-1) into indomethacin-treated animals produced slowly developing increases in pulmonary resistance and decreases in compliance. The increase in resistance produced by LTE4 and LTD4 was partly reversed by intravenous FPL-55712 (1.0 mg kg-1) and atropine (100 micrograms kg-1) but was almost completely reversed by FPL-55712 (3 - 10 mg kg-1). These findings indicate that leukotrienes can produce bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs through cyclooxygenase-dependent and cyclooxygenase independent mechanisms both of which are blocked by FPL-55712. Cholinergic mechanisms are involved in the mediation of part of the response to bolus injection of LTE4 as well as a small part of the initial response to continuous infusion of LTD4 and LTE4. Intrinsic beta adrenoceptor activation serves to down modulate responses to the leukotrienes to a greater extent than responses to arachidonic acid, histamine and acetylcholine. 相似文献

We studied deposition of radioactive monodisperse 1.5-micron aerosol in humans following inhalation during quiet breathing. Two groups were studied: normal, defined by tidal loops below the maximum expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) envelope [forced expiratory volume at 1 s at percent of forced vital capacity (FEV1%) 62-78]; and flow-limited, with tidal loops superimposed on MEFV relationship (FEV1% 21-57) and flow-limiting segments (FLS) known to exist in central airways. During simultaneous imaging with a gamma camera, fraction of inhaled aerosol deposited in the lung (DF) was determined by right-angle light scattering. With regions of interest defined by an equilibrium image of 133Xe, regional deposition was normalized for area and lung thickness and expressed as a central-to-peripheral (C/P) ratio. Deposition was uniform throughout the lung in normal subjects [C/P 1.02 +/- 0.07 (SD), n = 6]. In flow-limited group, central deposition predominated (C/P 1.98 +/- 0.64, n = 6, P less than 0.05). Tidal volume and inspiratory flow, forces thought to influence deposition during inspiration, were not different between groups. Spontaneous cough occurred in five flow-limited subjects during aerosol inhalation, with further increase in central deposition when compared with quiet breathing (C/P 1.85 +/- 0.60 to 2.69 +/- 0.600, P less than 0.01). During cough, tidal volume (ml) was reduced significantly (576 +/- 151 to 364 +/- 117, P less than 0.01) with no change in inspiratory flow (l/s) (1.37 +/- 0.23 to 1.38 +/- 0.40, P = NS). DF, however, was unaffected by cough (0.34 +/- 0.13 to 0.61 +/- 0.12, P = NS).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We studied the effects of antigen aerosol challenge on the airways of the canine peripheral lung and examined the roles of cyclooxygenase products, histamine, and cholinergic activity in the responses. One-minute deliveries of 1:10,000 or 1:100,000 concentrations of Ascaris suum antigen aerosol through a wedged bronchoscope resulted in mean maximal increases in collateral system resistance (Rcs) of 415 and 177%, respectively, after 4-8 min. Repeated antigen challenge (1:100,000) resulted in significantly decreased responsiveness to antigen after the initial exposure (P less than 0.005). Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained from the isolated, challenged segment had a significant increase in mean (+/- SE) prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) concentration vs. control (222.0 +/- 65.3 vs. 72.7 +/- 19.5 pg/ml; P less than 0.05); histamine concentrations were variable and not significantly different (4.1 +/- 2.6 vs. 1.2 +/- 0.2 ng/ml; P greater than 0.05). In nine experiments, cyclooxygenase inhibition significantly attenuated the antigen-induced increase in Rcs by 53.4% (P less than 0.001), and the concentration of PGD2 in lavage fluid was reduced by 96.0% (P less than 0.01). Blockade of histamine H1-receptors (n = 8) or cholinergic receptors (n = 7) did not significantly affect the airway response (P greater than 0.05). These data indicate that the canine peripheral lung responds in a dose-dependent manner to antigen aerosol challenge and exhibits characteristics of antigen tachyphylaxis. Results also suggest that cyclooxygenase products play a central role in the acute bronchoconstrictive response of the lung periphery. 相似文献

The present study investigates the integrity of the blood-brain barrier to H+ or HCO3- during acute plasma acidosis in 35 newborn piglets anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium. Cerebrospinal fluid acid-base balance, cerebral blood flow (CBF), and cerebral oxygenation were measured after infusion of HCl (0.6 N, 0.191-0.388 ml/min) for a period of 1 h at a constant arterial PCO2 of 35-40 Torr. HCl infusion resulted in decreased arterial pH from 7.38 +/- 0.01 to 7.00 +/- 0.02 (P less than 0.01). CBF measured by the tracer microsphere technique was decreased by 12% from 69 +/- 6 to 61 +/- 4 ml.min-1.100 g-1 (P less than 0.05). Infusion of 0.6 N NaCl as a hypertonic control had no effect on CBF. Cerebral metabolic rate for O2 and O2 extraction was not significantly changed from control (3.83 +/- 0.20 ml.min-1.100 g-1 and 5.7 +/- 0.6 ml/100 ml, respectively) during acid infusion. Cerebral venous PO2 was increased from 41.6 +/- 2.1 to 53.8 +/- 4.0 Torr by HCl infusion (P less than 0.02) associated with a shift in O2-hemoglobin affinity of blood in vivo from 38 +/- 2 to 50 +/- 1 Torr. Cisternal cerebrospinal fluid pH decreased from 7.336 +/- 0.014 to 7.226 +/- 0.027 (P less than 0.005), but cerebrospinal fluid HCO3- concentration was not changed from control (25.4 +/- 1.0 meq/l). These data suggest that there is a functional blood-brain barrier in newborn piglets, that is relatively impermeable to HCO3- or H+ and maintains cerebral perivascular pH constant in the face of acute severe arterial acidosis.

In healthy human subjects, the simultaneous aerosol administration of histamine and methacholine results in a pronounced decrease in maximum flow rates on partial expiratory flow-volume (PEFV) curves. When given alone in the same concentrations, these drugs produced no or minimal decreases in flow rates. The results suggest an interaction of histamine and cholinergic stimuli on airway smooth muscle (ASM). This mechanism might explain many experiments where vagal blockade diminished or abolished ASM response to histamine and other stimuli, simply by interfering with histamine-cholinergic interaction at the ASM level. These findings confirm similar findings of animal in vitro experiments. The experiments clearly confirm the sensitivity and value of assessing drug effects prior to a deep breath. Flow-rate changes after a full inspiration, taken from the maximum expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curve, show either no relationship to the concentration of inhaled methacholine or significantly less effect than that seen on the PEFV curve. 相似文献

The effects of an intravenous methacholine infusion on cardiovascular-pulmonary function were measured in seven mongrel dogs (22.0 +/- 2.8 kg), anesthetized with chloralose and urethan and beta-adrenergically blocked with propranolol. In a volume-displacement plethysmograph, physiological measurements were made at base line and 25 min after establishing a methacholine infusion (0.1-1.0 mg X kg-1 X h-1). Methacholine significantly (P less than 0.05) increased airways resistance (1.9 +/- 0.8 to 8.2 +/- 2.9 cmH2O X l-1 X s), decreased static lung compliance (84.7 +/- 18.5 to 48.2 +/- 9.4 ml/cmH2O), depressed arterial PO2 (81 +/- 17 to 56 +/- 10 Torr), and lowered blood pressure (132 +/- 10 to 69 +/- 18 Torr) and cardiac output (5.7 +/- 1.9 to 4.1 +/- 1.2 l/min). These effects persisted during a further 80 min of methacholine infusion conducted in five of the animals. During the initial 25-min period of methacholine, the end-expired volume (volume-displacement Krogh spirometer) rose in all animals, indicating an increase in functional residual capacity from 997 +/- 115 to 1,623 +/- 259 ml (P less than 0.0005). Analysis of pulmonary pressure-volume curves revealed no change in total lung capacity but an increase in residual volume from 489 +/- 168 to 1,106 +/- 216 ml (P less than 0.001). Thus methacholine caused 617 ml of gas trapping, which was not detected by the Boyle's law principle, presumably because gas was trapped at high transpulmonary pressure. We suggest that intravenous methacholine-induced canine bronchoconstriction, which causes gas trapping and hypoxia, may be a useful animal model of clinical status asthmaticus. 相似文献

It was hypothesized that renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) are involved in the acute inhibition of renin secretion and the natriuresis following slow NaCl loading (NaLoad) and that RSNA participates in the regulation of arterial blood pressure (MABP). This was tested by NaLoad after chronic renal denervation with and without inhibition of nNOS by S-methyl-thiocitrulline (SMTC). In addition, the acute effects of renal denervation on MABP and sodium balance were assessed. Rats were investigated in the conscious, catheterized state, in metabolic cages, and acutely during anesthesia. NaLoad was performed over 2 h by intravenous infusion of hypertonic solution (50 micromol.min(-1).kg body mass(-1)) at constant body volume conditions. SMTC was coinfused in amounts (20 microg.min(-1).kg(-1)) reported to selectively inhibit nNOS. Directly measured MABPs of acutely and chronically denervated rats were less than control (15% and 9%, respectively, P < 0.005). Plasma renin concentration (PRC) was reduced by renal denervation (14.5 +/- 0.2 vs. 19.3 +/- 1.3 mIU/l, P < 0.005) and by nNOS inhibition (12.4 +/- 2.3 vs. 19.6 +/- 1.6 mlU/l, P < 0.005). NaLoad reduced PRC (P < 0.05) and elevated MABP modestly (P < 0.05) and increased sodium excretion six-fold, irrespective of renal denervation and SMTC. The metabolic data demonstrated that renal denervation lowered sodium balance during the first days after denervation (P < 0.001). These data show that renal denervation decreases MABP and renin secretion. However, neither renal denervation nor nNOS inhibition affects either the renin down-regulation or the natriuretic response to acute sodium loading. Acute sodium-driven renin regulation seems independent of RSNA and nNOS under the present conditions. 相似文献

The effect of substance P (SP), administered both intravenously and by inhalation, has been studied in normal and asthmatic humans. Intravenous infusion of SP (0.2-3.3 pmol X kg-1 X min-1) achieving a plasma concentration of SP between 5 and 25 pM produced vasodilatation (mean +/- SD), maximal increase in skin temperature (0.9 +/- 0.3 degree C) (P less than 0.05), and fall in diastolic blood pressure (8.5 +/- 2.9 mmHg) (P less than 0.05) associated with an increase in heart rate (15 +/- 10 beats/min) (P less than 0.05). All subjects had a fall in Vp30 (airflow at 70% of forced vital capacity measured from total lung capacity after a forced partial expiratory flow maneuver) at low infusion rate (P less than 0.05) and a significant rise at the highest infusion rate (P less than 0.05). Ventilation at rest and when stimulated by transient hypoxia increased (mean increase in resting ventilation 0.73 +/- 0.4 l/min and mean percent increase in transient ventilatory hypoxic response 41 +/- 27%). There was a small nonsignificant increase in plasma norepinephrine but no change in epinephrine or histamine. Inhaled SP, up to 0.7 mumol, caused a small nonsignificant fall in airway function in asthmatic subjects. SP has demonstrable effects on vascular smooth muscle and control of ventilation but at the doses studied had little effect on airway function. 相似文献

Histological studies provide evidence that the bronchial veins are a site of leakage in histamine-induced pulmonary edema, but the physiological importance of this finding is not known. To determine if a lung perfused by only the bronchial arteries could develop pulmonary edema, we infused histamine for 2 h in anesthetized sheep with no pulmonary arterial blood flow to the right lung. In control sheep the postmortem extravascular lung water volume (EVLW) in both the right (occluded) and left (perfused) lung was 3.7 +/- 0.4 ml X g dry lung wt-1. Following histamine infusion, EVLW increased to 4.4 +/- 0.7 ml X g dry lung wt-1 in the right (occluded) lung (P less than 0.01) and to 5.3 +/- 1.0 ml X g dry wt-1 in the left (perfused) lung (P less than 0.01). Biopsies from the right (occluded) lungs scored for the presence of edema showed a significantly higher score in the lungs that received histamine (P less than 0.02). Some leakage from the pulmonary circulation of the right lung, perfused via anastomoses from the bronchial circulation, cannot be excluded but should be modest considering the low pressures in the pulmonary circulation following occlusion of the right pulmonary artery. These data show that perfusion via the pulmonary arteries is not a requirement for the production of histamine-induced pulmonary edema. 相似文献

To assess the role of glycogenolysis in mediating exercise-induced increases in muscle water as monitored by changes in muscle proton relaxation times on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cross-sectional area (CSA), five patients with myophosphorylase deficiency (MPD) were compared with seven controls. Absolute and relative work loads were matched during ischemic handgrip and graded cycling, respectively. Relaxation times of active muscle did not increase after handgrip in MPD (T1: 1 +/- 14%, P greater than 0.1; T2: 4 +/- 4%, P greater than 0.1) but did in controls (T1: 59 +/- 30%, P less than 0.005; T2: 26 +/- 9%, P less than 0.005). The volume of exercised muscles, estimated by CSA, increased in both groups after handgrip (controls: 13.8 +/- 3.5%, n = 7, P less than 0.0001; MPD: 7.5 +/- 1.5%, n = 4, P less than 0.005), but the change was greater in controls (P less than 0.02). Ischemic handgrip in controls resulted in a large increase in finger flexor signal intensity (SI) on short tau-inversion recovery images (25 +/- 7%, n = 3; P less than 0.005 compared with preexercise) and a further increase with subsequent reflow (43 +/- 11%, n = 3; P less than 0.001 compared with rest); in MPD, SI did not increase. The ratio of active to inactive muscle SI did not increase from rest to maximal cycle exercise in MPD (0 +/- 20%, n = 2, P greater than 0.1) but did in normals (73 +/- 36%, n = 3; P less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Equine recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) has been used as a naturally occurring model of human asthma. However, it is unknown whether there is an early-phase response in RAO. The aim of this study was to determine whether exposure to organic dust induces immediate changes in lung function in RAO-affected horses, which could be mediated by airway mast cells. Six RAO-affected horses in remission and six control horses were challenged with hay-straw dust suspension by nebulization. Total respiratory resistance at 1 Hz, measured by forced oscillation, was increased from 0.62 +/- 0.09 cmH(2)O.l(-1).s (mean +/- SE) to 1.23 +/- 0.20 cmH(2)O.l(-1).s 15 min after nebulization in control horses (P = 0.023) but did not change significantly in the RAO group. Total respiratory reactance at 1 Hz (P = 0.005) was significantly lower in the control horses (-0.77 +/- 0.07 cmH(2)O.l(-1).s) than in the RAO group (-0.49 +/- 0.04 cmH(2)O.l(-1).s) 15 min after nebulization. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) histamine concentration was significantly elevated 10 and 20 min postnebulization in control horses but not in RAO horses. Minimum reactance at 1 Hz in the early postnebulization period significantly correlated with both prechallenge BALF mast cell numbers (r = -0.65, P = 0.02) and peak BALF histamine concentration postnebulization (r = -0.61, P = 0.04). In conclusion, RAO horses, unlike human asthmatic patients, do not exhibit an early-phase response. However, healthy control horses do demonstrate a mild but significant early (<20 min) phase response to inhaled organic dust. This response may serve to decrease the subsequent dose of dust inhaled and as such provide a protective mechanism, which may be compromised in RAO horses. 相似文献
