An attempt was made to study circulatory and respiratory responses to the passive tilt. Anesthetized dogs were tilted from horizontal to upright $(+90^{\circ})$ and head down $(-90^{\circ})$ position. The arterial blood pressure was decreased in the upright position and was decreased slightly in the head down position comparing to that in the horizontal position. Cardiac index also decreased in the both upright and head down positions. The total systemic vascular resistance was slightly increased in the upright position and was markedly increased in the head down position. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure was significantly decreased in the both upright and head down positions. The total pulmonary vascular resistance was decreased in the both upright and head down positions. Oxygen consumption was slightly decreased in the upright position, whereas it was slightly increased in the head down position. The A-V $O_2$ difference (vol. %) was slightly increased in the upright position and increased in the head down position. From the above results, process of the circulatory compensation to the gravity in the Passive tilting test was discussed. Neuronal cardiovascular regulation to the gravity and tile adaptation of capacitance vessles to hydrostatic stress and oxygen consumption concerning anoxic endurance of the brain were also discussed.

[Purpose] This preliminary study aimed to develop a regression model to estimate the resting metabolic rate (RMR) of young and middle-aged Koreans using various easy-to-measure dependent variables. [Methods] The RMR and the dependent variables for its estimation (e.g. age, height, body mass index, fat-free mass; FFM, fat mass, % body fat, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure, and resting heart rate) were measured in 53 young (male n = 18, female n = 16) and middle-aged (male n = 5, female n = 14) healthy adults. Statistical analysis was performed to develop an RMR estimation regression model using the stepwise regression method. [Results] We confirmed that FFM and age were important variables in both the regression models based on the regression coefficients. Mean explanatory power of RMR₁ regression models estimated only by FFM was 66.7% (R²) and 66.0% (adjusted R²), while mean standard errors of estimates (SEE) was 219.85 kcal/day. Additionally, mean explanatory power of RMR₂ regression models developed by FFM and age were 70.0% (R²) and 68.8% (adjusted R²), while the mean SEE was 210.64 kcal/day. There was no significant difference between the measured RMR by the canopy method using a metabolic gas analyzer and the predicted RMR by RMR₁ and RMR₂ equations. [Conclusion] This preliminary study developed a regression model to estimate the RMR of young and middle-age healthy Koreans. The regression model was as follows: RMR₁ = 24.383 × FFM + 634.310, RMR₂ = 23.691 × FFM - 5.745 × age + 852.341.

배 경 : 급성호흡부전증후군에서 배측 폐는 복측 폐에 비해 이환 정도가 심하여 기계호흡시 PEEP 사용에도 폐포 모집이 어려운 것이 알려져 있고 이러한 상태에서 prone position은 이환이 심한 배측 폐의 국소 환기를 향상시키고 동맥혈산소분압의 호전을 가져온다는 보고들이 있으나 아직 prone position 의 호흡생리학적 효과나 혈류역학적 효과가 완전히 정립되지 않았다. 방 법 : 급성폐손상 점수 평균 2.5 이상인 ARDS 환자 23명(남 : 여 =11 : 12, 연령 $62.1{\pm}20.8$세)을 대상으로 먼저 supine position에서 호흡 지표로 동맥혈가스분석, 총호흡기계 정적 탄성과 혈류역학적 지표로 평균 동맥압, 분당 심박수 등을 얻은 뒤 prone position으로 전환하였다. Prone position 5분에 동일한 혈류역학적 지표, 0.5 및 2시간에 호흡 지표를 얻었으며, 2시간까지의 $PaO_2/FIO_2$ 비가 supine position에 비해 20mmHg 이상 증가한 경우를 양성 호흡반응, prone 5분의 평균동맥압이 supine position에 비해 10mmHg이상 증가한 경우를 양성 혈류역학적반응으로 각각 정의하였다. 결과 : 1. 양성 호흡반응 대상 ARDS 환자 중 65%(15/23)가 양성 호흡반응을 보였고 양성 반응자는 비반응자에 비해 연령, 남녀비, ARDS 유발 원인, supine position에서의 $PaO_2/FIO_2$비, Cst, rs 등은 차이가 없었으나 평균동맥압이 더 높고($91.1{\pm}13.1mmHg$ vs. $76.0{\pm}18.7mmHg$, p=0.035), 생존율이 높은 경향을 보였다(9/15 vs. 2/8, p=0.074). 양성 호흡반응자의 supine, prone 0.5 및 2시간의 $PaO_2$는 각각 $69.8{\pm}17.6mmHg$, $83.2{\pm}22.6mmHg$, $96.8{\pm}22.7mmHg$(p<0.001), $PaO_2/FIO_2$비는 각각 $108.1{\pm}40.5mmHg$, $137.3{\pm}60.0mmHg$, $157.7{\pm}50.0mmHg$로 증가하였다(p=0.001). 2. 양성 혈류역학적반응 Prone position시 평균 동맥압이 10mmHg이상 증가한 경우는 22%(5/23)이었고 이 중 2명은 양성 호흡반응이 없는 환자였다. 양성 혈류역학적반응을 보인 환자와 보이지 않은 환자 사이에 기저 평균동맥압($77.1{\pm}11.1mmHg$, $89.8{\pm}16.6mmHg$, p=0.099)이나 supine position 에서의 PEEP 사용 수준 ($7.8{\pm}3.2cm$ $H_2O$, $8.6{\pm}3.5cm$ $H_2O$, p=0.188) 등은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : ARDS 환자에서 prone position은 폐산소화지표를 호전시키거나 평균동맥압을 상승시키며 양성 호흡반응 여부는 ARDS 발생 후 조기에 결정되는 것으로 추정되었다.

Objectives: Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in the elderly in Korea. Increased arterial stiffness is linked to risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between arterial stiffness and physical activity in the elderly. Methods: A total of 209 older adults (110 men and 99 women) participated in this study. Arterial stiffness of subjects such as brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and ankle brachial pressure index (ABI) was measured using a non-invasive vascular screening device (VP-1000 Plus, Omron, Kyoto, Japan). The interviewed Korean version of the international physical activity questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF) was used to evaluate subject's physical activity level and classify subjects as active or inactive group based on the time spent doing moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Results: The mean age of total subjects was 75.3 ± 5.6 years. There was no significant difference in sex distribution between the active group (39.7%) and inactive group (60.3%). The baPWV (1,758.1 ± 375.2 cm/sec) of the active group was significantly lower than that (1,969.7 ± 372.3 cm/sec) of the inactive group (P < 0.05). There was a significant inverse association between time spent in MVPA and baPWV (r = -0.245, P < 0.01). Conclusions: This study suggests that physical activity programs for older adults are needed to prevent arteriosclerosis.

연구배경 : 급성폐손상 환자는 폐의 염증 및 투과성 증가로 폐부종을 보인다. 폐부종의 중요한 결정요인은 폐모세혈관압이며 호기말양압은 폐모세혈관에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 폐동맥 풍선 도자를 이용한 임상적인 폐모세혈관압 측정법이 발전하여, 이를 이용 하면 폐동맥쐐기압 뿐만 아니라 폐모세혈관압 측정도 가능하게 되었다. 이에 급성폐손상 환자를 대상으로 폐동맥 풍선 도자로 폐동맥쐐기압 및 폐모세혈관압의 변화를 관찰하여 폐동맥쐐기압이 폐모세혈관압올 적절히 반영하는지 알아보고, 호기말양압의 변화가 폐모세혈관압에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행 하였다. 방법 : 급성폐손상으로 기계호흡을 받은 11명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 호기말 양압을 0cm$H_2O$에서 시작하여 15분 간격으로 4cm$H_2O$ 씩 증가시켜 12cm$H_2O$까지 변화를 주연서 정해진 PEEP값에서 폐동맥 풍선 도자를 이용한 폐모세혈관압 측정법을 사용하여 자료를 얻었다. 결과 : 호기말양압을 0cm$H_2O$부터 12cm$H_2O$까지 증가시킴에 따라 중심정맥압은 $6.1{\pm}1.6$에서 $9.3{\pm}2.3$mmHg까지 증가하였고, 평균폐동맥압도 $22.7{\pm}7.4$에서 $25.3{\pm}7.3$mmHg까지 증가하였다. 또한 폐동맥쐐기압은 $9.8{\pm}2.1$ 에서 $12.8{\pm}2.1$mmHg로 증가하였고, 폐모세혈관압도 $15.3{\pm}3.3$ 에서 $17.8{\pm}3.2$mmHg로 증가 하였다. 결론 : 급성폐손상 환자에서 폐동맥쐐기압이 폐모세혈관압을 반영하나 호기말양압을 사용하면 폐모세혈관압이 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. 따라서 급성폐손상 환자의 수액요법에서 폐동맥쐐기압 뿐만 아니라 폐모세혈관압의 감시도 가치가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The present study investigated the microcirculation of blood in the left common artery (LCCA). In order to develop a mathematical model for microcirculation in LCCA, the present study adopted preexisted set of measured morphological data on anatomy, mechanical properties of the coronary vessels, viscosity of blood, the basic laws of physics, and the appropriate boundary conditions. In this study, the statistical distribution of blood pressure, blood flow, and blood volume in the LCCA were determined based on the anatomical branching pattern of the coronary arterial tree and the statistical data of blood vessel dimensions. Our calculations were in good agreement with the previous studies. The present results showed that the mean longitudinal pressure drop profile was function of the vessel order numbers. It was found that the normalized pressure drop was a logarithmic function of the compliance.

Study of the effects of the methanolic extract of Tagetes patula roots on blood pressure led to the isolation of well known citric (1) and malic acid (7) as hypotensive, and pyridine hydrochloride (4) as hypertensive constituents of the plant along with a new constituent, 2-hydroxy, 5- hydroxymethyl furan (9). Citric acid and malic acid caused 71% and 43% fall in Mean Arterial Blood Pressure (MABP) of rats at the doses of 15 mg/kg and 30mg/kg respectively while pyridine hydrochloride produced 34% rise in the MABP of rats at the dose of 30mg/kg. $LD_{50}\;and\;LD_{100}$ of citric acid in mice have been determined as 545 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg, respectively.

Objectives & Methods : This present study was performed to investigate the effect of Hwadamtongrak-Tang extract (HTT) on the regulation of cerebral hemodynamics in terms of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP)] in normal and cerebral ischemic rats. Also the effects of HTT on changes in local blood flow, inhibition of LD H activity in neuronal cells, and levels of cytokine production in the serum were determined in the ischemic rat model. The major findings are summarized below. Results : 1. HTT significantly increased rCBF in a dose-dependent manner, but MABP was not changed by HTT treatment. These results suggest that HTT may increase rCBF by dilating cerebral arterial diameter. 2. HTT-induced increase in rCBF was blocked by pretreatment with cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin (IDN, 1 mg/kg, i.p.) and MABP was significantly increased by ID N. 3. Pretreatment of methylene blue $(MTB,\;10\;{\mu}g/kg,\;i.p.)$, an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, significantly decreased both rCBP and MABP in HTT-treated rats. 4. HTT treatment significantly increased rCBP to a stable level during the period of cerebral reperfusion. 5. HTT significantly inhibited LD H activity in neuronal cells, suggesting a neuroprotection by HTT. 6. Serum interleukin $(IL)-1{\beta}$ and tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ levels were significantly decreased in the femoral artery 1 hr after middle cerebral arterial occlusion in HTT-treated rats. IL-10 levels in the serum were significantly increased by HTT treatment whereas transforming growth factor $(TGF)-{\beta}$ levels were similar between HTT-treated and control groups. 7. Serum interleukin $(IL)-1{\beta}$ and tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ levels were significantly decreased in the femoral artery 1 hr after reperfusion in HTT-treated rats. Serum IL-10 levels were significantly decreased in HTT-treated rats compared with the control group, and no significant changes in $(TGF)-{\beta}$ in the serum were observed by HTT treatment. Conclusions: The present data suggest that HTT may have an anti-ischemic effect via the improvement of cerebral hemodynamics and thus protect the brain from ischemic damage.

Between January 1984 and December 1986, sixty nine patients, aged 16 months to 25 years [mean age 10.05*6.40 years], underwent total correction of tetralogy of Fallot in Kyungpook national university hospital. In 66 hospital survivors, 30 patients were followed up for 12 to 48 months [mean 30.10*10.26 months]. These 30 patients were classified in two groups, TAP [transannular patch] and Non-TAP group. There were 9 patients in TAP group, and 21 in Non-TAP group. There were no significant differences between two groups in terms of age at operation, follow up duration, ACC time, and bypass time. All patients were evaluated by two dimensional echocardiography, Doppler echocardiography, standard 12-lead electrocardiography, and plain chest X-ray. Right ventricular systolic pressure, pulmonary arterial systolic pressure, pressure gradient between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, presence or absence of pulmonary regurgitation and its grading, fractional shortening of the left ventricle, and Qp/Qs in case of remnant ventricular septal defect were obtained by echocardiographic examination. Cardiothoracic ratio was measured by plain chest film, and ventricular dysrrhythmia was detected by electrocardiogram. Comparing the data between two groups, there was significant difference in incidence of postoperative pulmonary regurgitation [p< 0.05], 100%[9/9] in TAP group and 47.6 %[10/21] in Non-TAP group, but all the regurgitations were not severe. There were no significant differences in other comparisons, despite of higher incidence of cardiomegaly in TAP group [CT ratio: 59.3*5.3% VS 54.7*6, 4 %].
