The research uses the method of high-temperature thermogravimetric analysis to study the processes of interaction of the gas phase in the temperature range 300–950 °C in the partial pressure ranges of oxygen 8.1–50.7 kPa, water 6.1–24.3 kPa and hydrogen 4.1 kPa with La1–xSrxScO3–α oxides (x = 0; 0.04; 0.09). In the case of an increase in the partial pressure of water vapor at a constant partial pressure of oxygen (or hydrogen) in the gas phase, the apparent level of saturation of protons is shown to increase. An increase in the apparent level of saturation of protons of the sample also occurs with an increase in the partial pressure of oxygen at a constant partial pressure of water vapor in the gas phase. The paper discusses the causes of the observed processes. The research uses the hydrogen isotope exchange method with the equilibration of the isotope composition of the gas phase to study the incorporation of hydrogen into the structure of proton-conducting oxides based on strontium-doped lanthanum scandates. The concentrations of protons and deuterons were determined in the temperature range of 300–800 °C and a hydrogen pressure of 0.2 kPa for La0.91Sr0.09ScO3–α oxide. The paper discusses the role of oxygen vacancies in the process of incorporation of protons and deuterons from the atmosphere of molecular hydrogen into the structure of the proton conducting oxides La1–xSrxScO3–α (x = 0; 0.04; 0.09). The proton magnetic resonance method was used to study the local structure in the temperature range 23–110 °C at a rotation speed of 10 kHz (MAS) for La0.96Sr0.04ScO3–α oxide after thermogravimetric measurements in an atmosphere containing water vapor, and after exposures in molecular hydrogen atmosphere. The existence of proton defects incorporated into the volume of the investigated proton oxide from both the atmosphere containing water and the atmosphere containing molecular hydrogen is unambiguously shown. The paper considers the effect of the contributions of the volume and surface of La0.96Sr0.04ScO3–α oxide on the shape of the proton magnetic resonance spectra.

The PpIX DF show the significant role of SOFDF mechanism at high concentrations and at atmospheric partial pressure of oxygen and should be considered when developing diagnostic tools for clinical applications.

Oxygen Poisoning

AbstractThe biochemical mechanisms of oxygen poisoning are discussed together with the signs and symptoms produced clinically. Investigation of 35 subjects performing work (mean 02 consumption 1.4 l./min) for 40 minutes in a pressure chamber at simulated depths of 20 to 47 feet of sea water showed that this degree of exercise markedly reduced the oxygen exposure tolerance of the subjects. This investigation also showed that rapid decompression of subjects breathing oxygen can produce an exacerbation of existing symptoms and these results are discussed.It is stressed that any breathing mixture containing a partial pressure of oxygen in excess of 150 torr constitutes an environment which is hyperbaric with respect to oxygen and caution is advised in the administration of oxygen to any patient.

Abstract Sickle cell anemia (SCA) results from an abnormal sickle hemoglobin (HbS). HbS polymerizes upon deoxygenation, resulting in red blood cell (RBC) sickling and membrane damage that cause vaso-occlusions and hemolysis. Sickle RBCs contain less adenosine triphosphate and more 2,3-diphosphoglycerate than normal RBCs, which allosterically reduces hemoglobin (Hb) oxygen (O2) affinity (ie, increases the partial pressure of oxygen at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated with oxygen [P50]), potentiating HbS polymerization. Herein, we tested the effect of investigational agent FT-4202, an RBC pyruvate kinase (PKR) activator, on RBC sickling and membrane damage by administering it to Berkeley SCA mice. Two-week oral FT-4202 administration was well tolerated, decreasing HbS P50 to levels similar to HbA and demonstrating beneficial biological effects. In FT-4202–treated animals, there was reduced sickling in vivo, demonstrated by fewer irreversibly sickled cells, and improved RBC deformability, assessed at varying shear stress. Controlled deoxygenation followed by reoxygenation of RBCs obtained from the blood of FT-4202–treated mice showed a shift in the point of sickling to a lower partial pressure of oxygen (pO2). This led to a nearly 30% increase in RBC survival and a 1.7g/dL increase in Hb level in the FT-4202–treated SCA mice. Overall, our results in SCA mice suggest that FT-4202 might be a potentially useful oral antisickling agent that warrants investigation in patients with SCA.
