Rapid tracer lactate influx into canine skeletal muscle.

This study evaluated the effects of various lactate transport inhibitors and competitors on rapid tracer lactate influx into the canine gastrocnemius-plantaris muscle (GP). GPs of 25 anesthetized dogs were perfused with red blood cell-free media in situ. At 0.9 mM lactate concentration ([La]), GP oxygen uptake (2.6 +/- 0.1 ml.kg-1.min-1) and net lactate output (-0.039 +/- 0.007 mmol.kg-1.min-1) were similar to values during blood perfusion. Rapid tracer lactate influx was inferred by a paired-tracer dilution method at nominal perfusate [La] values of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 mM. The maximal tracer influx rate (Umax) decreased significantly with each increase in unlabeled [La]. A saturation effect was suggested by the fact that percent inhibition of Umax began to reach a plateau at the higher unlabeled [La] values. The inhibition of Umax was 20.5 +/- 2.9% at 5 mM, 34.1 +/- 3.3% at 10 mM, 47.3 +/- 2.7% at 25 mM, and 56.1 +/- 2.8% at 50 mM [La]. Umax was also inhibited by various inhibitors/competitors of lactate transport as follows (% inhibition): 50 mM alpha-cyano-4-hydroxy-cinnamate (69.2 +/- 4.9%), 1.5 mM phloretin (25.4 +/- 5.5%), 0.1 mM 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (0.3 +/- 1.9%), 0.5 mM p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid (72.9%), 0.5 mM furosemide (+ 2.8%), 25 mM pyruvate (52.4 +/- 2.9%), and 50 mM DL-lactate (50.2 +/- 4.0%). These experiments support the notion that lactate influx into canine skeletal muscle is a function of both a linear (possible diffusive) component and a Michaelis-Menten (carrier-mediated) component.

Conjunctival oxygen tension is influenced by plasma and blood volume, and flow through the external carotid artery.

Sjostrom P, Wiklund L, Odlind B.

Department of Internal Medicine, Central County Hospital, Orebro, Sweden.

An investigation of the feasibility and validity of measurement of the conjunctival oxygen tension as a monitor of peripheral circulation, blood and extracellular fluid volume and cerebral circulation was carried out in 7 healthy volunteers and 5 unconscious critical care patients with proven total cerebral infarction. The healthy volunteers were subjected to changes in hydration achieved by the administration of furosemide and subsequent rehydration by administration of normal saline. Conjunctival oxygen tension was found to be a sensitive indicator of changes in the degree of hydration presumably by its ability to detect changes in peripheral circulation depending upon circulating blood and extracellular fluid volume. A drawback is that other stimuli of the sympatho-adrenergic system such as temperature and pain, interfere with measurement in the conscious volunteer. In patients with presumed total brain infarction the conjunctival PO2 cannot be used as a reliable monitor of cerebral blood flow because of varying perfusion of the palpebral conjunctiva from the external carotid artery in the occasional patient.

The intraabdominal pressure in decompensated cirrhosis: relationship with ascites volume and turn-over.

Milani A, Ciammella AM, Rossi L.

The values of the intraabdominal pressure (IAP) were determined in 23 subjects with decompensated cirrhosis, both in basal conditions and after diuretic treatment (furosemide 75 mg/day orally for one week). In order to investigate the role of IAP in the regulation of ascites turn-over, ascites volume and free-water peritoneal clearance (FWPC) were estimated in the same patients by means of a methylene-blue dilution method. In wash-out conditions, no linear correlation was found between IAP and the values of ascites volume or FWPC. After diuretic treatment, we observed a significant reduction of ascites volumes (from 9.0 +/- 0.98 to 4.9 +/- 0.6 litres; p < 0.0005), IAP (from 17.5 +/- 1.3 to 11.3 +/- 0.8 cmH2O; p < 0.0005) and FWPC (from 99.8 +/- 6.7 to 76.2 +/- 6.6 ml/min; p < 0.001). In this situation, IAP values showed a significant linear correlation both with ascites volumes and clearances. These results may be due to the different weight of the two components of total IAP (hydrostatic pressure and abdominal tension): in the untreated patients (with larger ascites volumes) a considerable amount of the total IAP originates from the abdominal tension, and the correlation between IAP and ascites volumes or turn-over is biased. In the treated subjects (with lower ascites volumes) the tension component is minimal, and the correlation is resumed.
