ABSTRACT
The change of lung lymph after endotoxin-induced lung injury was studied using a sheep model with chronic lung lymph fistula. After endotoxin injection Ppa、PMV、 Q_L、CL_p、L_A/P_A、and Kf all increased markedly. The ratios of effects of pressure and permeability on Q_L were 1:0.53 and 1:2.31 during phase I and phase H respectively. The results indicated that the formation of pulmonary edema after injury related mainly to the increases of PMV and Kf and to the decrease of effective colloid osmotic pressure. The PMV was the main factor of formating edema during phase I and the permeability was that during phase Ⅱ.
ABSTRACT
We observed the pulmonary responses and changes in TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1a concentrations in plasma and lung lymph in endotoxin induced lung injury. The typical pulmonary responses appeared after the injury. The TXB2 concentrations in plasma and lung lymph increased by 24.5 and 30.7 times and those of 6-keto-PGFla by 10.6 and 15.7 times, respectively, as compared with baseline. The TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1a concentrations in lymph were 68 and 75 percent higher than those in plasm a respectively. The results indicated that TXA2 and-PGI2 synthesis increased in the lung after injury and that TXA2 and PGI2 were important media in the lung injury.
