Abstract

The extraction rates of biogenic amines such as 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) and norepinephrine(NE) in pulmonary endothelium, and the permeability of human serum albumin(HSA) to pulmonary epithelium were measured in experimental adult respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS), in order to evaluate their usefulness for the early recognition of ARDS. Sixteen mongrel dogs(body weight, 13+/-0.9 kg) were divided into 3 groups; Oleic acid 0.06 ml/kg was injected to 6 dogs(M group) and oleic acid 0.12 ml/kg to 6 dogs(S group). Four dogs were used as a control group. The extraction rates(%) of 14C-5-HT and 3H-NE, the blood concentration of (99m)Tc-HSA, hemodynamic changes and changes of arterial gas profile were measured and compared among three groups. In control group with 100% oxygen ventilation, the extraction rates of 14C-5-HT, 3H-NE and the blood concentration of 99mTc-HSA were not changed. In M group, the extraction rate(%) of 14C-5-HT was decreased from 61.5+/-3.1 to 43.8+/-5.2 in 10 minutes, and such decreased extraction rate(%) was maintained for 2 hours. The extraction rate(%) of (3)H-NE was decreased from 32.3+/-3.6 to 19.5+/-2.5 in 10 minutes. In S group, the extraction rate(%) of 14C-5-HT was decreased from 60.9+/-5.1 to 23.2+/-5.7 in the first 10 minutes, and the extraction rate(%) of H-NE was decreased from 30.1+/-4.3 to l3.1+/-1.9 in 10 min, and decreased slowly thereafter. The blood concentration of 99mTc-HSA was decreased significantly in M group and more in S group compared with control group during two-hour observation. These results suggest that measuring extraction rates of biogenic amines couid be applied for early recognition of ARDS, however, the change of blood 99mTc-HSA concentration could not be applied for early recognition of ARDS, because it has poor correlation to the progression of respiratory failure.
