The effect of changes in blood flow and of blood oxygen tension on oxygen uptake of the in situ gastrocnemius-plantaris muscle group of the dog was examined. Oxygen uptake by resting muscle was not altered by changes in blood flow or blood oxygen tension except when these parameters were reduced below critical values. When the muscle group was contracting once per second, changes in blood oxygen tension were similarly without effect until a critically low value was reached. Although the contracting muscle used eight times as much oxygen per minute as resting muscle, the critical oxygen tension was lower than that for resting muscle. In an attempt to explain this observation the blood-tissue oxygen tension difference was estimated and used in the Krogh equation to calculate capillary density. The capillary density in contracting muscle was found to be much greater than in resting muscle and was about the same as the capillary density measured by others by histological techniques.

✓ Using a reliable and reproducible microelectrode technique, consistent simultaneous measurements of local spinal cord blood flow (SCBF), tissue oxygen tension, and tissue oxygen consumption were made at cervical, thoracic, and lumbar levels in the rat spinal cord. These observations showed that the metabolic state is maintained constant along the cord, despite significant variations in vasculature. The physiological and anatomical aspects of these findings are discussed.

Induced Changes

Ascaris suum antigen effects on mean airflow resistance (RL) and bronchial arterial blood flow (Qbr) were studied in allergic anesthetized sheep with documented airway responses. Qbr was measured with electromagnetic flow probes, and supplemental O2 prevented antigen-induced hypoxemia. Aerosol challenge with this specific antigen increased RL and Qbr significantly. Cromolyn sodium aerosol pretreatment prevented antigen-induced increases in RL but not in Qbr. Intravenous cromolyn, however, prevented increases in Qbr and RL, suggesting a role for mast cell degranulation in both bronchomotor and bronchovascular responses to antigen. Antigen-induced increases in Qbr were not solely attributable to histamine release. Indomethacin pretreatment attenuated the antigen-induced increase in Qbr, thus suggesting that vasodilator cyclooxygenase products contribute to the vascular response. Antigen challenge significantly decreased Qbr after indomethacin and metiamide pretreatment, which suggests that vasoconstrictor substances released after antigen exposure also modulate Qbr; however, released vasodilators overshadow vasoconstrictor effects. Thus antigen challenge affects Qbr by locally releasing histamine and vasodilator prostaglandins as well as vasoconstrictor substances. These effects were independent of antigen-induced changes in systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics.

Data collected during the evaluation of a series of hemodialysers were analysed to see the effect of hematocrit on the clearance of urea and creatinine. All evaluations were performed on patients with a range of hematocrits with a mean close to 20%. The urea clearance of those in the upper half of the distribution curve (mean hematocrit 29.4%) was not significantly different from that of patients in the lower half of the distribution curve (mean hematocrit 16.9%) whether the clearance was studied at high or low blood flow rates and with hollow fibre or flat plate disposable hemodialysers. Likewise, there was no correlation between hematocrit and urea clearance by regression analysis. In contrast, the clearance of creatinine was affected by hematocrit being greater at lower hematocrit values. This difference was independent of blood flow rate and dialyser type and was confirmed by regression analysis.

Filtration Surface

The capillary filtration coefficient (Kf,c) is a sensitive and specific index of vascular permeability if surface area remains constant, but derecruitment might affect Kf,c in severely damaged lungs with high vascular resistance. We studied the effect of high and low blood flow rates on Kf,c in papaverine-pretreated blood-perfused isolated dog lungs perfused under zone 3 conditions with and without paraquat (PQ, 10(-2) M). Three Kf,cs were measured successively at hourly intervals for 5 h. These progressed sequentially from isogravimetric blood flow with low vascular pressure (I/L) to high flow with low vascular pressure (H/L) to high flow with high vascular pressure (H/H). The blood flows of H/L and H/H were greater than or equal to 1.5 times that of I/L. There were no significant changes in Kf,c in lungs without paraquat over a 50-fold range of blood flow rates. At 3 h after PQ, I/L-Kf,c was significantly increased and both isogravimetric capillary pressure and total protein reflection coefficient were decreased from base line. At 4 and 5 h, H/L-Kf,c was significantly greater than the corresponding I/L-Kf,c (1.01 +/- 0.22 vs. 0.69 +/- 0.09 and 1.26 +/- 0.19 vs. 0.79 +/- 0.10 ml.min-1.cmH2O-1.100 g-1, respectively) and isogravimetric blood flow decreased to 32.0 and 12.0% of base line, respectively. Pulmonary vascular resistance increased to 12 times base line at 5 h after PQ. We conclude that Kf,c is independent of blood flow in uninjured lungs. However, Kf,c measured at isogravimetric blood flow underestimated the degree of increase in Kf,c in severely damaged and edematous lungs because of a high vascular resistance and derecruitment of filtering surface area.
