Background: Alprostadil can effectively dilate blood vessels, improve cardiac microcirculation, and reduce load. Tanshinone IIa injection protect against atherosclerosis myocardial oxygen consumption. However, the effects of alprostadil combined with tanshinone on microcirculation disorder, outcomes, function in patients acute infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are ...

OBJECTIVE In the post-sternotomy mediastinitis patients, Staphylococcus aureus is the pathogenic microorganism encountered most often. In our study, we aimed to determine the efficacy of antibiotic treatment with vancomycin and tigecycline, alone or in combination with hyperbaric oxygen treatment, on bacterial elimination in experimental S. aureus mediastinitis. METHODS Forty-nine adult femal...

We investigated the effects of vagal reductions in O(2) delivery on oxygen consumption (VO(2)) in the anesthetized freshwater turtle Trachemys scripta. Specifically, these experiments tested the hypothesis that reductions in arterial oxygen partial pressure (PO(2)) and/or systemic oxygen transport (SOT) trigger a metabolic downregulation. During electric stimulation of the efferent branch of th...

Various optical methods are applied to study flame characteristics of a circular-cross-section combustor for Mach 10 scramjet. Experiments performed on direct-connected test facility fueled by hydrogen and driven using hydrogen/oxygen detonation. The is advantageous in solving thermal inhomogeneity, corner boundary layer aircraft integration problems. However, it difficult use traditional measu...

AIMS To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nitrous oxide-oxygen for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) undergoing intra-articular corticosteroid injection. METHODS A total of 55 consecutive patients with JIA undergoing intra-articular corticosteroid injection, using self administered nitrous oxide-oxygen for analgesia were studied. Patient, nurse, and parent pain scores were c...

I n the anesthetized dog with right-heart bypass the injection of perhexiline was followed by the vasodilatation of the coronary. systemic and pulmonary vascular beds. There was a fall in left ventricular work, index of energy utilization. and myocardial oxygen consumption. The ratio of A cardiac output oxygen consumption was elevated following the administration of perheniline. Al l these effe...

Proteinaceous microspheres filled with nitroxides dissolved in an organic liquid have been synthesized for the first time using high intensity ultrasound; these were used to measure oxygen concentrations in living biological systems. The microspheres have an average size of 2.5 microns, and the proteinaceous shell is permeable to oxygen. Encapsulation of the nitroxides into the microsphere grea...

A simple and reliable closed circuit apparatus for short term and long term measurements of oxygen consumption of small laboratory animals is described. Repeat measurements of oxygen consumption under resting conditions of six male albino rats using this apparatus shows a variability of less than 1.5%. Use of the set-up for continuous monitoring of oxygen consumption following subcutaneous inje...

melatonin, a pineal gland secreted hormone has different effects on mammalian physiology. recently, specific receptors of melatonine have been found in the central nervous system and spinal cord of rabbits. l - theanine is a unique amino acid in the tea plant ( camellia sinensis ). the effects of this amino acid is based on increasing gaba and dopamine levels in the brain and has a weak effect ...
