It is still unclear whether the paradoxical arteriovenous carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) difference found in critical illness is due to increased COHb production by the lung, or whether this gradient is caused by technical artifacts using spectrophotometry. In healthy and matched endotoxemic sheep, blood gases were analyzed with a standard ABL 625 and the updated version, an ABL 725. The latter one was accurately calibrated for COHb wavelengths (SAT 100) to eliminate the FCOHb dependency on oxygen tension. All endotoxemic sheep exhibited a hypotensive-hyperdynamic circulation and a pulmonary hypertension. Interestingly, arteriovenous COHb difference occurred in both healthy and endotoxemic sheep (P<0.001 each). Arterial and central venous COHb concentrations determined with the ABL 625 were significantly lower than those measured with the ABL 725 (P<0.001 each). We conclude that (a) arteriovenous COHb difference per se does not reflect critical illness and (b) measurements with an ABL 625 underestimate COHb concentrations. 相似文献

Chronic inflammation through foam cells and macrophages is important in atherosclerosis development, and can be considered as therapeutic targets. Cyclooxygenase and NADPH-oxidase were expressed within atherosclerotic lesions. Reactive oxygen species produced by NADPH oxidase were found to trigger the cyclooxygenase-2 expression. The effects of preferential COX-2 inhibitors on ROS produced by Chlamydia-primed human monocytes (THP-1 cells) were evaluated by fluorescence, chemiluminescence, oxymetry, and EPR spin trapping. Fluorescence assays showed an increased production of ROS with Chlamydia versus cells primed by 10(-8)M PMA. COX-2 inhibitors inhibited in a dose-dependent manner the luminol-enhanced CL while ibuprofen and diclofenac increased the chemiluminescence response. By EPR spin trapping, COX-2 inhibitors, ibuprofen, and diclofenac, exhibited a dose-dependent inhibiting effect (10 and 100muM) on the EPR signal appearance. Our cell model combining EPR, chemiluminescence, and oxymetry appeared relevant to study the modulating effects of preferential COX-2 inhibitors on the cell oxidant activity and chronic inflammatory diseases. 相似文献

Following systemic inflammation, the lung induces an isoenzyme of heme oxygenase (HO-1), catalyzing carbon monoxide (CO) production through breakdown of heme molecules. However, it is still debated why the paradoxical arterio-venous carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) difference occurs only during critical illness but not in healthy volunteers. To elucidate whether oxygen fractions at (sub-)physiologic ranges alter the affinity of CO to hemoglobin (Hb), we performed an in vitro laboratory experiment, in which we exposed venous blood samples to fixed CO-doses at incrementing oxygen fractions (FiO2). ANOVA demonstrated that the affinity of CO (200 and 400 ppm) to Hb progressively increased with an FiO2 from 0% to 15%, whereas at higher oxygen tensions this effect vanished. This might explain why the arterio-venous COHb difference found in critically ill patients is not reproducible in healthy adults, since the latter ones are characterized by higher venous oxygen saturations. 相似文献

Blood flow and pO2 changes after vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy (V-PDT) or cellular-targeted PDT (C-PDT) using 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-difluoro-3-N-methylsulfamoylphenyl) bacteriochlorin (F2BMet) as photosensitizer were investigated in DBA/2 mice with S91 Cloudman mouse melanoma, and correlated with long-term tumor responses. F2BMet generates both singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals under near-infrared radiation, which consume oxygen. Partial oxygen pressure was lowered in PDT-treated tumors and this was ascribed both to oxygen consumption during PDT and to fluctuations in oxygen transport after PDT. Similarly, microcirculatory blood flow changed as a result of the disruption of blood vessels by the treatment. A novel noninvasive approach combining electron paramagnetic resonance oximetry and laser Doppler blood perfusion measurements allowed longitudinal monitoring of hypoxia and vascular function changes in the same animals, after PDT. C-PDT induced parallel changes in tumor pO2 and blood flow, i.e., an initial decrease immediately after treatment, followed by a slow increase. In contrast, V-PDT led to a strong and persistent depletion of pO2, although the microcirculatory blood flow increased. Strong hypoxia after V-PDT led to a slight increase in VEGF level 24 h after treatment. C-PDT caused a ca. 5-day delay in tumor growth, whereas V-PDT was much more efficient and led to tumor growth inhibition in 90% of animals. The tumors of 44% of mice treated with V-PDT regressed completely and did not reappear for over 1 year. In conclusion, mild and transient hypoxia after C-PDT led to intense pO2 compensatory effects and modest tumor inhibition, but strong and persistent local hypoxia after V-PDT caused tumor growth inhibition. 相似文献
