Functional assessment of pulmonary capillary surface area in the 2-mo-old lamb.

We recently reported that measurements of the maximal velocity of pulmonary endothelial angiotensin-converting enzyme (Vmax) in vivo provide information regarding microvascular surface area in the developing lamb. To obviate any subtle influences of development on Vmax aside from simple increases in surface area, we correlated Vmax with postmortem stereological assessments of alveolar surface area in the relatively mature lung of the 2-mo-old lamb (n = 14). We attempted to increase the range of surface area beyond its normal variability by injecting nine of the lambs with bleomycin, an antineoplastic agent with significant pulmonary toxicity in other species. Vmax, measured shortly after birth and then weekly, increased monotonically in all lambs. Despite their wide dispersion, Vmax and the stereological determinations correlated strongly at 2 mo of age, confirming that Vmax is a robust indicator of the surface area of the air-blood barrier. There was no significant difference in either measurement between the control lambs and those treated with bleomycin, suggesting that the newborn lamb is resistant to the effect of this agent.     

Perialveolar interstitial resistance and compliance in isolated rat lung

We have developed a method to characterize fluid transport through the perialveolar interstitium using micropuncture techniques. In 10 experiments we established isolated perfused rat lung preparations. The lungs were initially isogravimetric at 10 cmH2O arterial pressure, 2 cmH2O venous pressure, and 5 cmH2O alveolar pressure. Perialveolar interstitial pressure was determined by micropuncture at alveolar junctions by use of the servo-null technique. Simultaneously a second micropipette was placed in an alveolar junction 20-40 microns away, and a bolus of albumin solution (3.5 g/100 ml) was injected. The resulting pressure transient was recorded for injection durations of 1 and 4 s in nonedematous lungs. The measurements were repeated after gross edema formation induced by elevated perfusion pressure. We model the interstitium as a homogeneous linearly poroelastic material and assume the initial pressure distribution due to the injection to be Gaussian. The pressure decay is inversely proportional to time, with time constant T, where T is a measure of the ratio of interstitial tissue stiffness to interstitial resistance to fluid flow. A linear regression was performed on the reciprocal of the pressure for the decaying portion of the transients to determine T. Comparing pressure transients in nonedematous and edematous lungs, we found that T was 4.0 +/- 1.4 and 1.4 +/- 0.6 s, respectively. We have shown that fluid transport through the pulmonary interstitium on a local level is sensitive to changes in interstitial stiffness and resistance. These results are consistent with the decreased stiffness and resistance in the perialveolar interstitium that accompany increased hydration.

Rapid extraction of high purity chromosomal DNA from Serratia marcescens

Rapid non-specific degradation of Serratia marcescens DNA extracted with guanidium thiocyanate, occurred within 10 min of incubation with restriction endo-nuclease enzymes. The described modified method based on chemical and enzymatic deproteinization produced preparations of Ser. marcescens DNA of high yield and quality which did not autodegrade when incubated with restriction endonucleases.

红细胞抗高血压因子降压作用的进一步研究

我们曾报道原发性高血压患者(EHS)红细胞抗高血压因子(AHF)具有缓慢而持久的降压作用。本工作表明,AHF对卒中易感型自发性高血压大鼠(SHRsp)还具有快速短暂的降压作用,注射AHF后10—30s,SHRsp收缩压从原水平的26.8±1.7kPa降至20.1±1.5kPa(P<0.001)。正常人和大鼠红细胞AHF的降压作用明显强于EHS和高血压大鼠AHF。此外我们还发现EHS血浆中存在升压物质。以上结果提示,AHF缺乏和升压物质含量相对较高可能是原发性高血压发病的一个重要原因。
