Energy expenditure was evaluated for 6 Basket players while exercising on a cyclergometer. Oxygen consumption (VO2), pulmonary ventilation (VE), heart rate (HR), respiratory quotient (QR) and other parameters were estimated at various levels of load (25 Watt each step of 3 minutes duration), till to submaximal load of 175 Watt. The same subjects participate to a regular Basket game and their heart rate was continuously stored on a tape recorder (Holter). Arterial blood pressure was also taken whenever possible (timeout, etc). From the laboratory and field data, estimates were made for the oxygen consumption together with energy cost of the game. This can be assume a net value of 0.1339 Kcal X Kg-1 X min-1. 相似文献

New techniques suitable for electrophysiological investigation of retrieval of conditioned taste aversion (CTA) were developed. The gustatory discrimination apparatus consisted of two parallel drinking spouts (20 mm apart) equipped with photoelectric lick sensors. The spouts contained water or the aversive fluid (0.15 M LiCl), respectively, and their position could be rapidly (50 ms) interchanged with a reversive electromotor. Licking at either spout and the position of the fluids were recorded on one channel of a tape recorder. Unit activity was picked up with tungsten microelectrodes (40 micrometers) inserted into the brain of a freely moving rat with a head-mounted microdrive system (weight 2 g), fixed to an implanted guiding cannula. The electrode was connected through a head-carried FET signal follower to a wide band integrated circuit amplifier and the unit activity was recorded in the other channel of the tape recorder. The records were evaluated using an off-line computer program (LINC 8) consisting of a spike detection subroutine followed by amplitude histogram analysis. The mean (M) and SD values were computed for uni- or bimodal amplitude distributions of the principal spike components. Spike falling within the M+/-2 SD range of the selected parameter were identified as single units and used for construction of post stimulus histograms triggered by licking or by spout switching. 相似文献

Three patients with ischaemic heart disease died suddenly while being monitored with an ambulatory tape recorder. Two had terminal ventricular fibrillation initiated by paired bidirectional ventricular ectopic beats against a background of scattered ectopic activity; both had had ventricular tachycardia during routine treadmill exercise testing in the week before death. The third patient developed bizarre ventricular complexes followed by asystole. Sudden death may be due to ventricular fibrillation initiated by paired ventricular ectopic beats with changing morphology, or asystole following bizarre ventricular complexes. Exercise testing may have an important predictive value. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To evaluate the effect of metoprolol, a beta adrenergic blocking drug, on the occurrence of myocardial ischaemia during endoscopic cholangiopancreatography. DESIGN--Double blind, randomised, controlled trial. SETTING--University Hospital. SUBJECTS--38 (two groups of 19) patients scheduled for endoscopic cholangiopancreatography. INTERVENTIONS--Metoprolol 100 mg or placebo as premedication two hours before endoscopy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Heart rate, arterial oxygen saturation by continuous pulse oximetry, ST segment changes during endoscopic cholangiopancreatography (an ST segment deviation > 1 mV was defined as myocardial ischaemia), electrocardiogram monitored continuously with a Holter tape recorder. RESULTS--All patients had increased heart rate during endoscopy compared with rate before endoscopy, but heart rate during endoscopy was significantly lower in the metoprolol group compared with the placebo group (P = 0.0002). Twenty one patients (16 placebo, 5 metoprolol; P = 0.0008) developed tachycardia (heart rate > 100/min) during the procedure, and 11 patients (10 placebo, 1 metoprolol; P = 0.003) developed myocardial ischaemia. One patient in the placebo group had an acute inferolateral myocardial infarction. In the 10 other patients with signs of myocardial ischaemia during endoscopy the ST deviation disappeared when the endoscope was retracted. In all patients myocardial ischaemia was related to increases in heart rate, and 10 of the 11 patients had tachycardia coherent with myocardial ischaemia. CONCLUSIONS--Metoprolol prevented myocardial ischaemia during endoscopic cholangiopancreatography, probably through lowering the heart rate. Thus, tachycardia seems to be a key pathogenic factor in the development of myocardial ischaemia during endoscopy. 相似文献

Impedance rheographic-cardiography has been performed in 40 patients with chronic congestive heart failure. At the same time, polycardiographic data have been recorded and used for the correlative analysis. A curve dZ/dt has been analysed and "S", "X", "A", "O" waves amplitudes together with A/S and X/S ratios have been calculated, depending on the degree of heart failure. It was found, that rheographic-cardiography may be valuable technique for the assessment of the degree of heart failure. Curve dZ/dt in patients with more advanced heart failure is of hypodynamic character (decrease in "S", "X", and "A" waves amplitude with an increase in "O" wave amplitude), being similar to sinusoidal curve. The most valuable rheographic-cardiograph parameters enabling the assessment of heart failure are: "S" and "O" waves amplitudes, and A/S and X/S ratios. Correlative analysis has also shown several important relationships between rheographic-cardiographic and polycardiographic parameters, which may facilitate the assessment of heart failure. 相似文献

A three-channel biotelemetry system measuring ECG, respiration, and body temperature is described. The transmitter employs a 6-kHz subcarrier oscillator and is small enough for surgical implantation in animals the size of rats or larger. The frequency modulated 6-kHz tone from the reciver can be demodulated directly or recorded on an inexpensive cassette tape recorder for future analysis. The transmitter cost is approximately $35.00 and measures 3 times 1 cm. A battery life of several weeks and transmitter range of 10-100 m is typical. Transmission is on the FM broadcast band (88-108 MHz) and reception from an inexpensive FM portable receiver is possible. 相似文献

A system for the evaluation of antifungal activity of volatile compounds has been developed that is based on dynamic growth of a single hypha. The newly developed system is composed of a reaction vessel under a microscope, automatic stage, charge coupled device (CCD) camera, TV monitor, video tape recorder (VTR), and a microcomputer. A fungus was inoculated in the reaction vessel containing agar medium and then was treated with an antifungal reagent in the gas phase either in batch or flow reaction manner. The apex of a growing hypha displayed on a TV monitor was followed automatically. From the ratio of the growth rate under exposure of a reagent (UEXPO) to the growth rate before the exposure (UPRE), the antifungal activity was expressed quantitatively. 相似文献

Measurement of mental workload has been widely used for evaluation of aircraft design, mission analysis and assessment of pilot performance during flight operations. Heart rate is the psychophysiological measure that has been most frequently used for this purpose. The risk of interference with flight safety and pilot performance, as well as the generally constrained access to flights, make it difficult for researchers to collect in-flight heart rate data. Thus, this study was carried out to investigate whether small, non-intrusive sports recorders can be used for in-flight data collection for research purposes. Data was collected from real and simulated flights with student pilots using the Polar Team System sports recorder and the Vitaport II, a clinical and research recording device. Comparison of the data shows that in-flight heart rate data from the smaller and less intrusive sports recorder have a correlation of.981 with that from the clinical recorder, thus indicating that the sports recorder is reliable and cost-effective for obtaining heart rate data for many research situations. 相似文献

The connection of the regression slope of heart rate graph (b1) with linear and nonlinear dynamics in stationary short-time series (256 points) was studied. A new index for the estimation of nonlinear dynamics in stationary short-time series was used, which is based on the correlation dimension. The results of the study indicated that the dynamics of heart rate in stationary short-time series can be represented as the sum of linear (periodic) and nonlinear (stochastic) processes. A relation of b1 with both linear and nonlinear dynamics of heart rate was found. The formulas for the calculation of absolute and relative (to the amplitude of periodic fluctuations) noise levels in heart rate dynamics were derived. A comparative analysis of nonlinear dynamics of heart rate in stationary short-time series for different functional states of humans was performed. The increase in the relative noise level in heart rate dynamics with increasing breathing frequency is related not only to a decrease in control breathing amplitude but also to an increase in the noise amplitude. The decrease in the absolute noise level for nervous excitation, fatigue, and mental stress were found. The predominance of nonlinear (stochastic) processes over linear (periodic) processes in the relaxed state was established. 相似文献

A recording chamber for monitoring the electrophysiological properties of the isolated heart of adult Drosophila melanogaster has been developed. Spontaneously generated field potentials of constant amplitude can be recorded for 6-8 h (n = 14); in very few cases, records were maintained stable for over 10 h (n = 4), and in some cases below 6 h (n = 5). The chamber consists of the tip of a micropipette, which allows for monitoring the field potential generated by the spontaneously contracting heart. The method can produce accurate information about the heart rate and the amplitude of the cardiac action potential. The preparation can be used for pharmacological studies on the heart of D. melanogaster since it responds, with an increase in the heart rate, to unusually low concentrations of octopamine, 1 nM, a compound with cardioaccelerating properties for insect heart. The recording system can be easily modified for experiments on the heart of other insects. Finally, the isolated heart of D. melanogaster provides a simple method for identifying mutations that affect heart physiology. 相似文献

Diazepam decreased the rate and amplitude of contraction in isolated embryonic chick hearts in a dose-dependent manner in both the noninnervated hearts obtained from 4-day-old embryos and the innervated hearts from 7-day-old embryos. The concentration of diazepam necessary to reduce the heart rate and contractile amplitude to 50% of the control values was about 1 X 10(-4) M. Concentrations less than 1.0 X 10(-5) M had no detectable depressant effects. Prior administration of atropine did not alter the depression induced by diazepam. Norepinephrine was able to stimulate the amplitude of contraction in the diazepam-depressed heart while atropine was without effect. The vehicle used in the clinical injectable preparation of diazepam had no depressant effects. The mechanism of action of the diazepam-induced depression on the isolated embryonic chick heart may be a direct depression of the myocardium. 相似文献

By considering three kinds of music and noise, this research investigates the influence of music on the living body by comparing the difference of influence on heart rate variability and comfort when subjects listen to music and are exposed to noise. We used two pieces of classical music, rock music, and noise recorded by a tape recorder. The following conclusions were made from the findings of the research: 1) Hearing classical music results in a small variance of Mayer Wave related Sinus Arrhythmia (MWSA) component and Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA) component compared with a body being at rest. This is because the sympathetic nerve is suppressed by the sound of classical music. With rock music and noise, however, the MWSA component increases and the RSA component decreases. 2) From a psychological evaluation, we found that classical music tends to cause comfort and rock music and noise tend to cause discomfort. 3) A correlation was found between the balance of the MWSA component and the RSA component and the psychological evaluation. As the comfort increases, the variance of MWSA decreases; as discomfort increases, the variance of MWSA increases. 相似文献

The effects of small cardioactive peptide B on the isolated heart and gill of Aplysia californica 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Effects of small cardioactive peptide B on the physiology of the isolated heart and gill preparations from the mollusc Aplysia californica were examined. In addition, the effects of small cardioactive peptide B and FMRFamide (Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2) on adenylate cyclase activity were compared in particulate fractions of heart and gill tissues, respectively. Small cardioactive peptide B was found to exert dose-dependent, reversible changes in cardiac activity when perfused through the isolated heart. The EC50 values effecting changes in heart rate and force of contraction were 3 X 10(-11) and 3 X 10(-10) M, respectively; minimum concentrations found to effect changes in heart rate and force of contraction were normally 10(-15) and 10(-12) M, respectively. However, some winter hearts demonstrated threshold sensitivity to small cardioactive peptide B at concentrations as low as 10(-17) M. When perfused through the isolated gill, small cardioactive peptide B was found to suppress the gill withdrawal response amplitude with a threshold concentration of 10(-14) M and an EC50 value of 3 X 10(-11) M. Suppression of the gill withdrawal response amplitude by small cardioactive peptide B was found to be dose dependent and reversible up to a concentration of 10(-9) M. At higher concentrations, the suppression tended to persist irreversibly. Small cardioactive peptide B stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in particulate fractions of both heart and gill tissues with an EC50 of 0.1 and 1.0 microM, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A novel method is proposed for the evaluation of the activity of an antifungal agent administered as a gas. This system is composed of a batch-flow type reaction vessel, a gas flow system, and a microscopic observation system. The agar plate was prepared on the ceiling of the reaction vessel, and the mycelium of a fungus (Aspergillus niger or Rhizoctonia solani) was inoculated onto it. After preincubation at 25 degrees C for 24 h, the reaction vessel was connected to the gas flow system. An appropriate hypha was selected, and its elongation rate was measured. Then a sample holder containing an antifungal compound was inserted into the reaction vessel from the side hole to saturate the atmosphere inside with its vapor. The retardation or inhibition of the hypha elongation was observed on a television monitor and recorded on a video tape recorder. The antifungal compound was then removed, and the reaction vessel was flushed with air. If the hypha lived, it began to elongate again. By this method, antifungal activity of seven odor compounds could be evaluated quantitatively within several hours. 相似文献

Background: Dietary assessment among children is particularly problematic when techniques are dependent on memory skills or advanced cognitive development. Objective: The current study explored the use of self‐report by tape recorders to document children's dietary intake immediately upon consumption, and compared this method with the traditional, interviewer‐guided recall technique. In addition, the influence of body fatness and sociodemographic characteristics on the accuracy of recall and tape‐recorded food records was determined. Research Methods and Procedures: The sample included 30 black and white children aged 6.5 to 11.6 years (x¯ = 9.5). Energy intake (EI), measured by six 24‐hour food records (three for each method), was compared with total energy expenditure calculated by the doubly labeled water technique. Paired t tests, correlation analyses, and multiple re‐gression analyses were performed. Results: The analyses revealed poor validity of the tape recorder method (x¯ misreporting score = ?1.13 ± 2.62 MJ/day, r for total energy expenditure and EI = ?0.06, p = 0.74). Estimates of EI differed significantly between the tape recorder and recall methods (p < 0.01). The traditional recall method was confirmed as a valid estimate of energy intake (x¯ misreporting score = 0.04 ± 2.38 MJ/day), although demonstrating a modest correlation with TEE (r = 0.32, p = 0.08). Although no significant predictors of misreporting using the recall method were identified in the multivariate analyses, older children and children with higher adiposity were more likely to misreport using the tape recorder method. Discussion: The results suggest that the use of the tape recorder for estimating EI does not result in accurate assessments among children, although this techniquemay be useful for specific subgroups (i.e., younger and leaner children). 相似文献

Xanthan biopolymer has been produced in a single-stage continuous fermentation with Xanthomonas campestirs NRRL B-1459, using a viscostal control method instead of the conventional chemostat method. A Bendix Ultraviscoson 1 The mention of firm names or trade products does not imply that they are endorsed or recommended by the U.S. Department of Agriculture over other firms or similar products not mentioned. sensed the fermentor viscosity, and the recorder–controller actuated the feed medium pump in an on–off control mode. Since all continuous fermentations eventually become contaminated or suffer culture variation, this work served also to demonstrate the effectiveness of the viscostat control. Neither the presence of a mold contaminant with specific growth rates lower than that of X. campestris, nor the presence of a bacterial contaminant of specific growth rate greater than X. campestris, affected the maintenance of constant viscosity in this control system. 相似文献

A Langendorff perfused rat heart preparation was designed to process dose-response effects of cardioactive drugs on rate, coronary flow, and supraaortic differential pressure (delta P; an index of cardiac performance). In this preparation, delta 9- -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) 2 X 10(-6) M to 10(-5) M induces in the isolated perfused rat heart a biphasic increase in rate (maximal at 8 X 10(-6) M). Tachycardia is associated with decreases in (delta P) and no change or decreased coronary flow. Cardiac toxicity is observed with 3 X 10(-5) M. Cannabidiol (CBD) at concentrations of 9 X 10(-6) M to 10(-4) M has limited effect on rate while increasing delta P and coronary flow. Cannabinol (CBN) 8 X 10(-6) M to 3 X 10(-4) M depresses rate and delta P while coronary flow remains constant. Simultaneous equimolar administration of THC with CBD antagonizes or mitigates the cardiac effects of THC on rate, delta P, and coronary flow. 相似文献

A computer program is described which analyzes output punched directly onto paper tape from a gas-liquid chromatograph. Although this program was written specifically for samples of fatty acid methyl esters derived from adipose tissue triglycerides which are eluted within 1 hr, modification of the dimension statements in the program would enable it to deal with samples which require a longer time to come off the column. The salient features of the rationale of the program are discussed in detail, particularly the procedures for base line correction and for estimating the contributions from components which are not perfectly separated in the column. Examples are given of the program in practice, of comparing the results it gives with those obtained by manual triangulation of the areas on a recorder chart, and of indicating the range of column load over which we have found that it operates satisfactorily. A sample computer print-out from the program is presented and interpreted. 相似文献
