Estimated Functional Diameter of Alveolar Septal Microvessels at the Zone I-II Border

Objective : To measure the functional diameter of alveolar septal microvessels under conditions in which the pulmonary arterial pressure and the lung inflation pressure are equal, at 25 cm H₂O (zone I-II border), and to compare these results with those obtained when inflation pressure exceeded arterial pressure by 5 or 10 cm H₂O (zone I). Methods : We perfused isolated rat lungs (P_A 25, P_PA 25, P_LA 0 cm H₂O) with fluorescent latex particles of specific diameters (0.49, 1.05, 2.0, 4.0, or 10 μm) and then prepared samples for histology. Using a confocal, laser-scanning fluorescence microscope, we measured latex particle densities within the septal plane of individual alveoli. We compared these particle densities with those in arterioles supplying the septa and calculated the density ratio. We fit curves produced by the Verniory equation to these ratios to estimate the septal microvessel functional diameter. Results : Particle densities in septa ranged from 0.06 ± 0.02 particles per μm² ‘for 0.49-μm-diameter particles to 0.007 ± 0.004 particles per μm² for 4.0-μm-diameter particles. The 10-μm particles did not enter septa. Calculations based on these data suggest a septal microvessel functional diameter of 6–8 μm. Conclusions : In a previous study, conducted at the same value of P_inflat, but with P_PA set at 15 or 20 (5 or 10 cm H₂O into zone I), we estimated the capillary diameter to be 1.7 μm. Thus, the septal capillary diameter seems to increase by three- to fourfold as P_PA is raised to equal P_inflat.

An analytical solution for the SSFP signal in MRI.

Among previous analyses of the steady-state free-precession (SSFP) signal in rapid MRI, one treatment resulted in equations that require the evaluation of infinite binomial series. Here, an analytical solution is derived by a transformation into the power series expansion of the derivative of the inverse sine function, which is essentially a root. The treatment is extended to include higher-order signals. The results demonstrate the identity of the vastly different equations for the SSFP signals reported so far. Applications consist of the derivation of closed expressions for the signal in echo-shifted MRI and a corresponding analysis of TrueFISP sequences.     

Techniques in facial identification: Computer-aided facial reconstruction using a laser scanner and video superimposition

A facial image was reconstructed from the skull, part of a complete skeleton found in woodland, of a male person who had hanged himself from a tree. In addition, video superimposition was carried out with antemortem photographs of a person suspected of being the victim, and a good match was obtained. In a further case, a cheaper video-transparency superimposition was carried out, with identity later being confirmed on the basis of dental records. The techniques and the problems encountered are discussed. According to our experience, 3D computer reconstruction and video superimposition have a useful role in the process of identification, particularly in the early stages of an investigation and when other more definitive methods may not be available.     

Clinical application of rapid assay of interleukin-6 in influenza-associated encephalopathy

The characteristics of influenza-associated encephalopathy is the high mortality and nimble progress with coma which appears in general cases within 48 hours. Most of patients show no abnormalities in the standard blood checks on admission or in early stage. In this study we investigated if a rapid assay of interleukin (IL)-6 is useful in influenza-associated encephalopathy in early stages. The levels of IL-6 in patients with influenza-associated encephalopathy did not show any significant difference compared with those in patients with febrile convulsion and rotavirus-associated convulsion. However the levels of IL-6 in severe cases were significantly higher than those of mild cases with influenza-associated encephalopathy. Consequently the rapid assay of serum IL-6 is useful to evaluate and decide the therapies.

Determination of rate-constants as a method to describe passive expiration

To describe the relaxed expiration by a two-compartment model, we introduced a gas/energy transfer between the lung compartment (V₁) and a second one (V₂). If V₂ were a real volume, the rate-constants (i.e. the flow/volume ratios) of the compartments would describe a real gas-exchange. Alternatively, if a viscoelastic behaviour of the lung or an energy-exchange between compartments was simulated, V₂ would become a "pseudo-volume". We studied nine mechanically ventilated subjects. Changes in volume were transduced by respiratory inductive plethysmography. The rate-constants were assumed (together with the initial volumes of the compartments) as parameters to fit the total volume [V₁(t)+V₂(t)]. Once the best fitting was performed using these "physiological" parameters, the system was directly identified and the compartments were independently analysed. The time profile of the second compartment showed a maximum that depended on the value of the rate-constants. Appropriate tests confirmed the reliability of our procedure. In conclusion, our analysis demonstrated that the energy/volume of the second compartment may increase at the beginning of expiration and then decrease, showing a maximum, even though the total curve can only be a decreasing one. In other words, the slowing down of the curve representing expiratory volume is due not only to the longer emptying of the second compartment, but also to the interaction between the two compartments. As presently proposed, this interaction can be represented by either a gas exchange between two actual volumes, or a mechanical energy transfer between the lung and the tissue compartment.     

Detection of neutralizing IgM antibodies in the diagnosis of enterovirus infections

Data are presented of IgM detection by a neutralization test used routinely in 1,062 patients. Antigens isolated during the period of investigation were EV4, EV7, EV11, EV18, EV21, EV24, EV33, CA9, CB2, CB4, and CB5. No difference was observed in the distribution of IgM-positive sera according to age and sex. Total antibodies are at higher titres when IgM antibodies are present. Polytypic IgM responses are not frequent (less than 10%). The frequency of the IgM-positive sera for a given serotype correlated with the frequency of isolates for the serotype except for CA9. Other than for babies under age 6 months, IgM detection is more frequent than is isolation. The susceptibility of the elderly and the frequency of IgM-positive sera among adults over age 40 years suggests possible underestimation of enterovirus infections in adults. The duration of IgM remains a major question.
