Pressure-flow relationships of the canine iliac periphery and systemic hemodynamics: Effects of sodiumnitroprusside and adenosine

It has been reported that sodiumnitroprusside (SNP) decreases mean systemic pressure and simultaneously increases pressure pulse amplification towards the iliac periphery (Kenner and van Zwieten 1982). This unexpected finding was suggested to be due to a decrease in iliac peripheral resistance but an increase in iliac differential resistance. In order to investigate this apparent contradiction, the iliac periphery was hemodynamically isolated from the rest of the circulation and perfused with the dog's own blood by means of a pump. Perfusion pressure (P) and flow (F), femoral venous pressure (P_v), systemic pressure (P_s) and cardiac output (CO) were measured. Steady state pressure-flow relations of the isolated bed were obtained during control and during various i.v. infusion rates of SNP and adenosine (ADS) and were found to be straight (meanr=0.99). Their slope (P/F) was defined as differential resistance (R_d). Peripheral resistance (R_p) of the iliac bed was defined as R_p=(P-P_v)/F, calculated at the flow value where perfusion pressure equalled the prevailing systemic pressure. Total peripheral resistance (TPR) was defined as TPR=P_s/CO. The changes of R_d, R_p, P_s, CO and TPR with respect to control show that during low SNP infusion rates R_d and R_p were both increased while TPR was decreased. During all infusion rates of SNP CO did not change while P_s decreased. During low infusion rates of adenosine CO increased while P_s, R_d and R_p did not change and TPR decreased. During high infusion rates of ADS CO decreased again, R_d, R_p and P_s decreased, and TPR remained constant but at a decreased level.It is concluded that: (1) the suggestion of Kenner and van Zwieten is not supported, since SNP (as well as ADS) affects iliac peripheral and iliac differential resistance in a similar way; (2) SNP (as well as ADS) affects iliac peripheral resistance and total peripheral resistance in a differentiated way, and even in an opposite way during low infusion rates of SNP; (3) it is this opposite effect that explains the paradoxical observations of Kenner and van Zwieten; (4) for comparable reductions of TPR, CO is better maintained during infusion of SNP, while P_s is better maintained during infusion of ADS.

The instability of membrane markers expressed by human monocytes and macrophages in culture

Surface markers were tested on freshly isolated human monocytes and following their in vitro maturation to macrophages. The markers tested were HLA-DR antigens, receptors for the Fc of IgG and complement as well as membrane markers defined by monoclonal antibodies. The results revealed a dynamic expression of some of the markers on monocytes which was influenced by several variables. The expression of the markers was modulated by the presence of different sera, by treatment with lymphokines and interferon and following the in vitro maturation of monocytes to macrophages. The most unstable marker was found to be the HLA-DR, which was modulated by all these variables. The 63D3 was affected by different sera and culture supernatant, as well as following the maturation of monocytes to macrophages, but not by lymphokines and interferon. One of the markers, the Mac 120, was found to be relatively stable and did not change significantly following the maturation of monocytes to macrophages. The Fc and complement receptors were also stable in their expression under these conditions, but were probably partially blocked in the presence of human serum. These results indicated that at least some of the heterogeneity related to the monocyte population was probably not due to the occurrence of stable subsets of cells, but rather to reversible changes in marker expression.

Plexiform neurilemoma: A clinicopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of 23 tumours from 20 patients

Summary A clinicopathological and immunohistochemical study was done on 23 plexiform (multinodular) neurilemomas excised from 20 Japanese. Ages of the subjects ranged from 2 years to 69 years with a mean age of 30 years. The tumours occurred most often on the trunk (14), and were located commonly in the dermis and subcutis (19). Three lesions apparently originated from the peripheral nerve trunks. Multiple tumours were observed in six instances, and two were associated with von Recklinghausen's disease. Microscopically, they appeared as multinodular growths, most nodules were moderately cellular, and both Antoni A and B patterns were distinct in 10 tumours. Obvious Verocay bodies were noted in seven tumours and abortive ones in five. Immunohistochemical reactivity to S-100 protein was demonstrated in both nuclei and cytoplasm of almost all tumour cells of all lesions examined. Recurrences are nil among the 4 patients who could be followed. Correlations with trauma and with von Recklinghausen's disease are briefly discussed.     

Impedance plethysmography in the diagnosis of arterial and venous disease

The objective of this paper is to review the theoretical basis and clinical application of electrical impedance plethysmography in the noninvasive evaluation of peripheral arterial and venous disease. Theoretical, experimental and clinical studies have now demonstrated a direct relationship between electrical impedance changes and limb volume changes. Potential sources of error have also been identified. This has led to the development of clinical tests based on impedance plethysmography for the detection of peripheral arterial disease, venous insufficiency and venous outflow obstruction. Impedance plethysmography, using the method of venous occlusion, is presently the most commonly employed noninvasive method for the detection of deep venous thrombosis.
