酸中毒条件下脓毒性休克大鼠胸主动脉对多巴胺反应性的变化

目的:观察不同酸中毒条件下正常大鼠和脓毒性休克大鼠胸主动脉对多巴胺反应性的变化。方法:采用离体血管灌流方法,观察对照组和脓毒性休克组大鼠胸主动脉在不同pH条件下的反应性变化。结果:pH值依次降低,对照组及脓毒性休克组离体胸主动脉对多巴胺反应性均下降,在相同pH值条件下脓毒性休克组比对照组离体血管对多巴胺反应性下降更为明显。结论:①环境pH值的下降会导致正常大鼠和脓毒性休克大鼠离体动脉对多巴胺反应性的下降。②在相同的酸性环境中脓毒性休克大鼠的血管对多巴胺刺激的反应性更差,更易失去活性。     

The role of oxygen availability in the embryonation of Heterakis gallinarum eggs.

The importance of oxygen availability in the embryonation of the infective egg stages of the gastrointestinal nematode parasite Heterakis gallinarum was studied in the laboratory. Unembryonated H. gallinarum eggs were kept under either aerobic conditions by gassing with oxygen, or anaerobic conditions by gassing with the inert gas nitrogen, under a range of constant temperatures. Oxygenated eggs embryonated at a rate influenced by temperature. Conversely, eggs treated with nitrogen showed no embryonation although when these eggs were transferred from nitrogen to oxygen gas after 60 days of treatment, embryonation occurred. This demonstrated that oxygen is an essential requirement for H. gallinarum egg development, although undeveloped eggs remain viable, even after 60 days in low oxygen conditions. The effects of climate on the biology of free-living stages studied under constant laboratory conditions cannot be applied directly to the field where climatic factors exhibit daily cycles. The effect of fluctuating temperature on development was investigated by including an additional temperature group in which H. gallinarum eggs were kept under daily temperature cycles between 12 and 22°C. Cycles caused eggs to develop significantly earlier than those in the constant mean cycle temperature, 17°C, but significantly slower than those in constant 22°C suggesting that daily temperature cycles had an accelerating effect on H. gallinarum egg embryonation but did not accelerate to the higher temperature. These results suggest that daily fluctuations in temperature influence development of the free-living stages and so development cannot be accurately predicted on the basis of constant temperature culture.
