1. To examine the effect of varying oxygen partial pressure (Pao2) on nitric oxide (DLNO) and carbon monoxide (DLCO) diffusing capacity (transfer factor), 10 subjects performed combined DLCO/DLNO measurements with the inspired mixture made up with three different oxygen concentrations (25%, 18% and 15%) to give Pao2 values of 12–20 kPa. 2. A novel method is described for calculating membrane diffusing capacity (DM) and pulmonary capillary volume (Qc) from DLNO and DLCO. 3. The mean DMCO was 52.89 mmol min−1 kPa−1 and Qc was 0.056 litre. Reducing Pao2 from 20 to 12 kPa resulted in an increase in DLCO = −0.124 (O2%) + 11.67 (P < 0.001) and a fall in DLNO = 0.538 (O2%) + 32.01 (P < 0.001) and a fall in DLNO/DLCO = 0.107 (O2%) + 2.52 (P < 0.001). DM (P = 0.59) and Qc (P = 0.64) also tended to fall with falling Pao2. 4. It appears more likely that the minor reduction in DLNO that we have observed with falling Pao2 is due to diffusion rather than reaction limitation.

SUMMARYA batch fermenter modified to simulate the physical conditions of an inflamedv. uninflamed mammary gland was utilized to evaluate the effect of oxygen tension on killing ofEscherichia coliP4 by bovine polymorphonuclear neutrophil leucocytes. Leucocytosis was simulatedin vitro4 h after inoculation withEscherichia coliby adding bovine neutrophils isolated from peripheral blood to the culture medium. Experiments were conducted at 39°C in UHT treated milk. At micro-aerophilic oxygen tension (oxygen partial pressure, 3·11kPa), bacterial numbers declined during the first hour following addition of the neutrophils. Oxygen tension declined rapidly following PMN addition. Once oxygen was depleted, neutrophil activity was presumably diminished andEsch. colinumbers began to increase. Under anaerobic conditions (oxygen partial pressure, 0·17kPa), no reduction in population was observed. Photomicrographs taken at the time of neutrophil addition and at subsequent time intervals demonstrated a specific association between neutrophils and the pathogen. Subsequent lysis of neutrophils associated withEsch. coligrowth was seen coincident with oxygen depletion.
