Association of chest wall motion and tidal volume responses during CO2 rebreathing

Yan, Sheng, Pawel Sliwinski, and Peter T. Macklem.Association of chest wall motion and tidal volume responses during CO₂ rebreathing.J. Appl. Physiol. 81(4):1528-1534, 1996.The purpose of this study is to investigate theeffect of chest wall configuration at end expiration on tidal volume(VT) response duringCO₂ rebreathing. In a group of 11 healthy male subjects, the changes in end-expiratory andend-inspiratory volume of the rib cage (Vrc,E andVrc,I, respectively) and abdomen (Vab,E and Vab,I, respectively) measured by linearizedmagnetometers were expressed as a function of end-tidalPCO₂(PET_CO2). The changes inend-expiratory and end-inspiratory volumes of the chest wall(Vcw,E and Vcw,I,respectively) were calculated as the sum of the respectiverib cage and abdominal volumes. The magnetometer coils were placed atthe level of the nipples and 1-2 cm above the umbilicus andcalibrated during quiet breathing against theVT measured from apneumotachograph. TheVrc,E/PET_CO2 slope was quite variable among subjects. It was significantly positive (P < 0.05) in fivesubjects, significantly negative in four subjects(P < 0.05), and not different fromzero in the remaining two subjects. TheVab,E/PET_CO2slope was significantly negative in all subjects(P < 0.05) with a much smallerintersubject variation, probably suggesting a relatively more uniformrecruitment of abdominal expiratory muscles and a variable recruitmentof rib cage muscles during CO₂rebreathing in different subjects. As a group, the meanVrc,E/PET_CO2,Vab,E/PET_CO2, andVcw,E/PET_CO2slopes were 0.010 ± 0.034, 0.030 ± 0.007, and0.020 ± 0.032 l / Torr, respectively;only theVab,E/PET_CO2 slope was significantly different from zero. More interestingly, theindividualVT/PET_CO2slope was negatively associated with theVrc,E/PET_CO2(r = 0.68,P = 0.021) and Vcw,E/PET_CO2slopes (r = 0.63,P = 0.037) but was not associated withtheVab,E/PET_CO2slope (r = 0.40, P = 0.223). There was no correlation oftheVrc,E/PET_CO2 andVcw,E/PET_CO2slopes with age, body size, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, orexpiratory time. The groupVab,I/PET_CO2 slope (0.004 ± 0.014 l / Torr) was not significantlydifferent from zero despite theVT nearly being tripled at theend of CO₂ rebreathing. Inconclusion, the individual VTresponse to CO₂, althoughindependent of Vab,E, is a function ofVrc,E to the extent that as theVrc,E/PET_CO2slope increases (more positive) among subjects, theVT response toCO₂ decreases. These results maybe explained on the basis of the respiratory muscle actions andinteractions on the rib cage.

DNA immunization: Effects of vehicle and route of administration on the induction of protective antiviral immunity

Abstract The effectiveness of DNA immunization has been demonstrated in several model systems, usually following intramuscular injection of DNA in saline, or topical administration to the skin. In this study we have compared DNA delivered by three routes (intramuscular, intravenous, and intraperitoneal) and, for each route, in two vehicles (cationic liposome complex and pH sensitive liposome). These two lipid vehicles were evaluated because they are frequently used in gene therapy studies, but their immunogenicity has not been extensively studied. Each of these six combinations has been evaluated not only by assay of marker gene expression in a variety of tissues, but also by measurement of biologically-relevant parameters of immunity induction of antibodies, cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and protection against viral challenge. By both criteria (marker gene expression and induced immunity), the outcomes vary markedly among the six combinations. The combination leading to maximal marker gene expression (DNA with cationic lipid, administered i.v.) also induces detectable antibodies and CTL, and is the only one of the six combinations to induce immune responses comparable to those seen following i.m. injection of DNA in saline. However, marker gene expression can be detected in other combinations in the absence of induced immunity thus the value of marker gene expression in predicting the protection induced by a microbial antigen is questionable suggesting that, when evaluating various promoter constructs, marker gene expression may not adequately replace the direct measurement of biological outcomes.

小麦形成大穗的生态学基础

研究了不同光、温条件下３个小麦品种的生育特征、幼穗分化、幼穗生长和穗部性状,探讨了促进穗大粒多、提高小麦单产的可行途径．结果表明,因播种期的不同而导致的小麦生长期间光、温条件的不同,使之各生育期出现的时间及其持续的天数有了较大的差异．小麦幼穗分化的历期天数多与平均气温和平均日照长度呈显著或极显著负相关．不同的积温是幼穗生长量和每穗总小穗数产生差异的重要原因．在条件适宜的麦区,可望通过引种适宜品种并适当提早播种期,以促进德大粒多、实现单产的明显提高．     

金黄色葡萄球菌L型和人乳头瘤病毒与宫颈癌关系的研究

应用改良革兰氏染色和免疫组化染色（ＡＢＣ法）,对２７０例宫颈癌和３３例慢性宫颈炎进行了研究。结果发现,宫颈癌革兰氏染色切片中细菌Ｌ型感染率（７５．１％）明显高于慢性宫颈炎（４５．５％）（Ｐ＜０．０５）,金黄色葡萄球菌Ｌ型抗原阳性率（７６．２％）明显高于人乳头瘤病毒（ＨＰＶ）抗原阳性率（５７．１％）。Ｌ型、ＨＰＶ混合感染率为４２．８％。上述结果表明宫颈癌中金葡菌Ｌ型与ＨＰＶ感染均常见,尤其金葡菌Ｌ型感染更为多见;金葡菌Ｌ型与ＨＰＶ感染的致病特征相似,两者均有不同程度的空泡细胞出现。提示金葡菌Ｌ型感染可能也是宫颈癌的致癌重要因素之一。

献血员抗－HCV检测报告

对１５８７名献血员进行了抗－ＨＣＶ检测,总阳性率５．６０％,在不同职业中农民较高,占６．７２％,３０岁以上为１２．７６％。我站自改进采浆工艺,严格使用一次性消毒器具后,未发现ＨＣＶ交叉感染。职业献血者抗－ＨＣＶ阳性率高达３５．４８％,易造成输血后ＨＣＶ感染。对ＨＣＶ感染ＯＤ值阳性３０人又进行４－６个月的观察复测,其中１６人ＯＤ值下降,６人上升,认为ＯＤ值的变化与自限性ＨＣＶ感染有关。
