Hypoxia recruits intrapulmonary arteriovenous pathways in intact rats but not isolated rat lungs.
Intrapulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses (IPAVS) directly connect the arterial and venous circulations in the lung, bypassing the capillary network. Here, we used solid, latex microspheres and isolated rat lung and intact, spontaneously breathing rat models to test the hypothesis that IPAVS are recruited by alveolar hypoxia. We found that hypoxia recruits IPAVS in the intact rat, but not the is...
متن کاملBeta Adrenergic Regulation of Intrapulmonary Arteriovenous Anastomoses in Intact Rat and Isolated Rat Lungs
Intrapulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses (IPAVA) allow large diameter particles of venous origin to bypass the pulmonary capillary bed and embolize the systemic arterial circulation. IPAVA have been routinely observed in healthy humans with exercise, hypoxia, and catecholamine infusion, but the mechanism by which they are recruited is not well-defined. We hypothesized that beta-adrenergic recep...
متن کاملThe Relaxant Effect of Propofol on Isolated Rat Intrapulmonary Arteries
Propofol is a widely used anesthetic. Many studies have shown that propofol has direct effects on blood vessels, but the precise mechanism is not fully understood. Secondary intrapulmonary artery rings from male rats were prepared and mounted in a Multi Myograph System. The following constrictors were used to induce contractions in isolated artery rings: high K(+) solution (60 mmol/L); U46619 s...
متن کاملAnatomical and functional intrapulmonary shunt in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
OBJECTIVES The lung-protective strategy employs positive end-expiratory pressure to keep open otherwise collapsed lung regions (anatomical recruitment). Improvement in venous admixture with positive end-expiratory pressure indicates functional recruitment to better gas exchange, which is not necessarily related to anatomical recruitment, because of possible global/regional perfusion modificatio...
متن کاملIn vitro cultivation of Pneumocystis isolated from infected rat lungs.
The studies were undertaken to check the possibility of a long-term in vitro cultivation of Pneumocystis obtained from immunosuppressed rats using slightly modified method of Merali et al. The growth of Pneumocystis in the established axenic cultures was examined by counting the number of cysts in Giemsa and Diff-Quik stained preparations or by estimating the number of DNA copies with a real-ti...
