The effects of respiratory hyperoxia (RH) and xanthine oxidase (XO) during localized hyperthermia (HT) were investigated by determining markers of oxidative damage to lipids and proteins and tumor growth. Anesthetized rats with s.c. DS-sarcomas underwent one of the following treatments: (a)
As a brain protection strategy, antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) is widely used in thoracic aorta surgery with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), yet the oxygen management for ASCP has never been standardized. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible
Pontine cat is an ectothermic preparation, whose central temperature can artificially be lowered from 36 degrees C to 26 degrees C; this gradual hypothermia is accompanied by a dramatic increase in paradoxical sleep (PS). Two main hypotheses might explain this result: executive systems of PS might
Fever induces seizures in infants with febrile convulsions or epilepsy. Hyperpnea induced by fever may contribute to the induction of these seizures. In order to examine this possibility, we evaluated the effect of changes in arterial blood gas tension on hyperthermia-induced seizures in developing
Hyperoxia induces skin vasoconstriction in humans, but the mechanism is still unclear. In the present study we examined whether the vasoconstrictor response to hyperoxia is through activated adrenergic function (protocol 1) or through inhibitory effects on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and/or
Febrile-range hyperthermia (FRH) improves survival in experimental infections by accelerating pathogen clearance, but may also increase collateral tissue injury. We hypothesized that FRH would worsen the outcome of inflammation stimulated by a non-replicating agonist and tested this hypothesis in a
Hyperthermia causes hyperventilation at rest and during exercise. We previously reported that carotid chemoreceptors partly contribute to the hyperthermia-induced hyperventilation at rest. However, given that a hyperthermia-induced hyperventilation markedly differs between rest and exercise, the
We tested the hypothesis that hypoxia replicates effects of hyperthermia on reducing number and quality of sperm produced, whereas hyperoxia mitigates effects of hyperthermia. Forty-eight CD-1 mice (∼50 d old), inspired air with 13, 21, or 95% O2 and were exposed to ambient temperatures
The effects of hyperoxia on the neurological outcomes of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are still controversial. We examined whether the partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) and hyperoxia were associated with neurological outcomes and survival by conducting post-hoc analyses
Following the action of extraordinary stimulants (hypoxic hypoxia, hypoxia+hyperoxia, hypodynamia+hyperthermy) animals demonstrate accumulation of malonic dialdehyde with a simultaneous fall of antiradical activity of the liver tissue. A preliminary introduction to rats of acetylene amines--1,4 bis
1. The role of chemoreceptors in the control of heart rate and behaviour during diving activity in the tufted duck was investigated in two ways. In a closed-loop experiment, ducks were exposed to ambient gas mixtures of varied composition during diving activity in an indoor tank. Characteristics of
BACKGROUND
Deep hypothermia has been associated with an increased incidence of postoperative neurologic dysfunction after cardiac surgery in children. Recent studies suggest an excitotoxic mechanism involving overstimulation of glutamate receptors. Extracellular glutamate uptake occurs primarily by
Increased testicular temperature reduces percentages of morphologically normal and motile sperm and fertility. Specific sperm defects appear at consistent intervals after testicular hyperthermia, with degree and duration of changes related to intensity and duration of the thermal insult. Regarding
The effect of irradiation of the central nervous system by microwaves (MW) at a frequency of 2450 MHz and power 5-40 W on the regulation of cerebral circulation and oxygen supply to the nervous tissue were studied in rabbits. Local irradiation of the exposed cerebral cortex resulted in hyperemia and
