High-frequency ventilation (HFV) in hyaline membrane disease —a preliminary report

Eight premature babies affected by hyaline membrane disease and needing mechanical respiratory support were ventilated by means of a VDR 1 (Bird Space Technology) respirator at 10 Hz during a mean time of 51 h. Before HFV 7 infants had been on conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) and one on nasal CPAP. The values of mean airway pressure (MAP) and oxygenation index (PaO₂/FIO₂) on CMV and HFV were (mean and range): 1. CMV: MAP 15 (4–29) mm Hg, ox. index 15.47 (5.07–23.19) kPa; 2. HFV after 1 h: MAP 15 (10–19) mm Hg, ox. index 24.13 (9.07–46.12) kPa. Improved oxygenation allowed rapid reduction of FIO₂ in the following hours. Only 3 infants were weaned directly from VDR 1, 5 were switched back to CMV mainly because of technical failures of the respirator. The change from HFV to CMV was associated with a fall of PaO₂/FIO₂ from 35.99 (15.86–74.52) to 22.39 (7.33–31.46) kPa. The mean time of artificial ventilation (CMV+HFV) was 121 h (range 46–166). Except for 1 pneumothorax no medical complications were seen during HFV, and all patients survived. Despite impressive improvements in oxygenation it is cautioned against the use of the VDR 1 because of the high incidence of technical problems.

Cellular localization of immunoreactive epidermal growth factor during Wolffian duct differentiation of the fetal mouse

Previous studies from this laboratory indicated a role for epidermal growth factor (EGF) in androgen-dependent male reproductive tract differentiation of the fetal mouse. Expression of an EGF-like protein during Wolffian duct differentiation was indicated from the determinations by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and radioreceptor assay. To further characterize the protein and to assess its role in male sexual differentiation, expression of the protein has been analyzed by Western blot assay and its tissue-specific cellular expression has been determined by immunocytochemical assay in the present study. Western blot analysis of the 18-day fetal male reproductive tract detected an immunoreactive band of the predicted 6-kDa size. Immunocytochemical analysis also detected EGF-specific immunostaining in the Wolffian duct derivatives. At day 18 of gestation, the staining was localized predominantly in the epithelial nuclei of the Wolffian duct derivatives whereas at days 14 and 16 of gestation, the staining was equally distributed in the mesenchymal and epithelial sites of the Wolffian duct derivative. The intensity of the staining increased with progression of differentiation during the 14th–18th days of gestation. Prenatal exposure to the antiandrogen flutamide significantly reduced the immunostaining of the duct. Thus, a role for EGF in Wolffian duct differentiation is indicated.     

Regulation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) products in fresh and cultured human fetal pancreata aged 9–16 gestational weeks by gamma-interferon

Immunological data on the human fetal pancreas (HFP) are mainly confined to its constitutive expression of the MHC antigens. However, cytokines, such as gamma-interferon (g-IFN), released by lymphocytes during immune reactions, can induce or upregulate the expression of MHC products in allografts and alter their immunological behaviour. We investigated the effects of g-IFN on fresh and cultured HFPs aged 9–16 gestational weeks (gw). Following g-IFN stimulation of fresh HFPs, there was class I hyperexpression by the ductal cells, and some of the ductal, endothelial and islet cells also became class II⁺. Conventional tissue culture (5% CO₂ in air at 37°C) reduced the number of interstitial class II⁺ cells within the HFP after 1 week but was associated with de novo class I expression by some of the ductal cells. Remarkably, the changes in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen expression by the ductal cells occurred earlier and were markedly enhanced when the HFPs were cultured beforehand. The number of interstitial class II⁺ cells in fresh and cultured HFPs was not influenced by g-IFN. The significance of these observations with regard to clinical HFP transplantation is discussed.     

Permissive Hypercapnia and Intravascular Oxygenator in the Treatment of Patients with ARDS

Abstract: This open clinical study was aimed at testing the hypothesis that an intravascular oxygenator (IVOX) may help to perform permissive hypoventilation in 10 patients with severe ARDS. After initial evaluation, we tried to reduce ventilator settings before and after IVOX implantation. Before IVOX, poor clinical tolerance and worsening oxygenation did not allow for a significant decrease in ventilator settings. With IVOX, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) was reduced from 47 to 39 cm H₂O (p = 0. 005) and minute ventilation from 13 ± 3. 5 to 11 ± 3 L/min. CO₂ removal by IVOX allowed a significant decrease in Paco₂ from 66 ± 15 to 59 ± 13 mm Hg. Improvement of oxygenation with IVOX was not signify cant. Furthermore, interruption of oxygen flow through IVOX did not change oxygenation variables. Tolerance of the IVOX device was good, but insertion of the device was followed by a significant decrease in both cardiac index and pulmonary wedge pressure. In conclusion, IVOX improves tolerance of hypoventilation by limiting hypercapnia in ARDS patients. These preliminary results must be confirmed by a randomized controlled study     

压力调节容量控制通气对肺损伤犬血流动力学、呼吸力学和呼吸功能的影响

目的 探讨压力调节容量控制(PRVC)通气模式对健康及急性肺损伤(ALI)模型犬的血流动力学、呼吸力学和呼吸功能的影响。方法 PRVC和间歇正压通气(IPPV)两种通气模式在呼气末压为0、0．5、1．0和1．5kPa时，分别测定健康犬及油酸诱发ALI犬的血流动力学、呼吸力学及血气参数。结果 健康犬PRVC较IPPV模式下除了在PEEP为0．5kPa时，气道峰压(PIP)、肺动态顺应性(Cdyn)和肺血管阻力(PVR)的影响差异有显著性，对血流动力学、呼吸力学及呼吸功能的影响差异均无显著性。ALI犬PRVC较IPPV模式下各PEEP水平的PIP、平均气道压(mPaw)、Cdyn、动脉血氧分压[pa(O2)]和氧耗(VO2)的影响均有显著意义，但两种通气模式对血流动力学的影响差异无显著性。结论 与IPPV相比，PRVC通气模式能降低PIP，增加Cdyn和提高pa(O2)，两模式对血流动力学的影响差异无显著性，PRVC更适用于ALI／ARDS的治疗。     

氯喹对全肝缺血再灌注大鼠肺损伤的保护作用

目的 探讨氯喹对全肝缺血再灌注大鼠急性肺损伤（Au）的保护作用及其机制。方法 健康SD大鼠90只，雌雄不拘，体重300～350g，随机分为3组：假手术组（A组）、全肝缺血再灌注组（B组）、全肝缺血再灌注＋氯喹组（C组），每组30只。阻断肝门及肝上、肝下下腔静脉20min时开放血流，建立大鼠全肝缺血再灌注模型。C组于缺血前即刻经股静脉注射氯喹10mg／kg，A、B组给予等量生理盐水。于缺血20min、再灌注4h时每组分别处死10只大鼠，抽取门静脉血，测定血浆D-乳酸、内毒素（ETX）、肿瘤坏死因子-a（TNF-a）浓度，另外10只用于观察再灌注48h时大鼠生存率，并在电镜下观察肺组织超微结构的改变。结果 缺血再灌注可导致大鼠缺血期和再灌注期门静脉血D-乳酸、ETX、TNF-a浓度升高，大鼠生存率降低，肺组织超微结构严重受损，氯喹可减弱全肝缺血再灌注导致的上述改变。结论 氯喹对全肝缺血再灌注大鼠ALI有一定的保护作用，通过抑制磷脂酶A2激活，降低肠粘膜屏障通透性升高，降低肠黏膜内毒素移位。
