Continuous In-Line Monitoring of Oxygen Delivery to Control Artificial Heart Output

In order to evaluate the pump output control based on the oxygen delivery to peripheral tissues, arterial and mixed venous hemoglobin content ([Hb]) and oxygen saturation (SO2) were continuously monitored in three biventricular bypass animals (3-, 6-, and 40-day experiments) with fibrillating ventricles. The specially developed oxygen sensors were mounted in the outflow ports of the artificial hearts to measure [Hb] and SO2. One animal was exercised on the treadmill at 2.0 mile/h for 15 min with pump flows fixed to deliver oxygen of (a) above 13 cc/min/kg, (b) 10, and (c) 9. In (a), the mixed venous saturation (SvO2) dropped to approximately 25% with no increase in the blood lactate level. In (b) and (c), the SvO2 decreased to approximately 10-15% with increase in blood lactate levels from 4 to 10-30 mg/dl. Also, the recovery of the SvO2 in these groups following the termination of the exercise was slower in comparison to (a). The lower limit of the SvO2 level that would create oxygen debt situation in the peripheral tissues was approximately 25-30% for the exercise of 2.0 mile/h. The SvO2 reflects changes in respiratory status, pump output, hemoglobin level, and metabolism, and is thus a useful indicator to diagnose quickly the circulatory status as well as possibly to control the artificial heart output.

Structure and Behavior in Hydrophilic Matrix Sustained Release Dosage Forms: 4. Studies of Water Mobility and Diffusion Coefficients in the Gel Layer of HPMC Tablets Using NMR Imaging

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to characterise the water mobility in the gel layer of hydrating HPMC tablets. Water mobility in the gel layer of different HPMCs was studied. Methods. NMR imaging, a non-invasive technique, has been used to measure the spatial distribution of self-diffusion coefficient (SDC) and T₂ relaxation times across the gel layer. Results. It has been shown that there is a water mobility gradient across the gel layer of HPMC tablets. Although SDC and T₂ relaxation times in the outer parts of the gel layer approached that of free water, in the inner parts they decreased progressively. Water mobility and SDC in the gel layer of different HPMCs appeared to vary with degree of substitution of the polymer and the lowest values were obtained across the gel layer of K4M tablets. Conclusions. Water mobility varies across the gel layer of hydrating HPMC tablets and it is dependent on the degree of substitution of the polymer.     

Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1RA) in acute leukaemia: IL1RA is both secreted spontaneously by myelogenous leukaemia blasts and is a part of the acute phase reaction in patients with chemotherapy- induced leucopenia

Abstract: Blast cells derived from peripheral blood of patients with acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) were cultured in vitro and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1RA) concentrations determined in culture supernatants. AML blasts derived from patients classified as AML-M4 and AML-M5 subtype showed an increased release of IL1RA. IL1α and IL1β caused a similar increase in AML blast release of IL1RA, and addition of anti-ILl antibodies decreased IL1RA release. IL1RA release from AML blasts was also increased by stem cell factor, tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and macrophage colony-stimulating factor, whereas interleukin 3, interleukin 6, leukaemia inhibitory factor and granulocyte colony- stimulating factor did not significantly alter IL1RA release. When investigating IL1RA serum levels, serum concentrations were decreased in acute leukaemia patients with chemotherapy-induced cytopenia compared with healthy controls. Serum levels of both IL1RA as well as IL1β and soluble TNFα receptors increased when the leucopenic patients developed complicating bacterial infections.     

Magnetization Transfer and T2 Relaxation Components in Tissue

T₂ relaxation makes an important contribution to tissue contrast in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Many tissues are known to exhibit multicomponent T₂ relaxation that suggests some compartmental segregation of mobile protons on a T₂ timescale. Magnetization transfer (MT) is another relaxation mechanism that can be used to produce tissue contrast in MR imaging. The MT process depends strongly on water-macromolecular interactions. To investigate the relationship between multicomponent T₂ relaxation and the MT process, multiecho T₂ measurements have been combined with MT measurements for freshly excised samples of cardiac muscle, striated muscle, and white matter. For muscle, short T₂ components show greater MT than long T₂ components, consistent with the belief that they represent distinct water environments. For white matter, quantitative MT measurements were identical for the two major T₂ components, apparently because of exchange between the T₂ compartments on a timescale characteristic of the MT experiment. Implications for accurate modeling of MT in tissue and the use of MT for MR image contrast are discussed.
