The Relationship

We pump-perfused gastrocnemius-plantaris muscle preparations at constant pressure to study the relationship of muscle blood flow (Q) to muscle oxygen consumption (VO2), venous oxygen tension (PVO2), and venous carbon dioxide tension (PVCO2) during steady-state exercise at different rates. Tests were performed under four experimental conditions produced by altering the perfusate blood-gas status with a membrane lung. The consistency of the relationship of Q to other variables was evaluated by statistical analysis of fitted curves. Not one of the above listed variables had the same relationship with Q in all four of the experimental conditions we tested. However, we did find that a consistent relationship existed among Q, PVO2, and PVCO2 in our data. That relationship is well described by the equation (Q-23).[PVO2 - (0.5.PVCO2) - 3] = 105 (when Q is expressed in ml.100 g-1.min-1 and PVO2 and PVCO2 in mmHg). One interpretation of this result is that both PO2 and PCO2 are important variables in the control of blood flow in skeletal muscle the combined influence of which could account for nearly all of the hyperemia response to steady-state muscle exercise.

Problem Previous work has established the relationship of resistance and compliance in a bench-top model of 2 parallel fluid systems representing endolymph and perilymph. The R-C Product is mathematically proportional to the time to equilibrium. Increasing the resistance to fluid movement in the “endolymph” significantly increased the time to hydrostatic equilibrium between the systems. The current study was designed to test whether a compensatory change in the R-C Product on the “perilymphatic” side would reduce the time to steady state. Methods As previously described, 2 parallel tubular systems with symmetric resistance and compliance members were perturbed by rotating the model from a horizontal, equilibrium condition to an upright, disequilibrium condition. Time to steady state was video recorded in 4 resistance conditions. The primary test was whether increased resistance to flow on the “endolymph” limb would be negated by an equal increase to resistance to flow on the “perilymph” limb. Results All 4 resistance conditions exhibited differences in time to steady state by ANOVA (p = 3.4 × 10E-12). Mean time to a steady state was reduced when a compensatory change in resistance was applied to the “perilymph” limb (1.0 + 1.1 sec) when compared to high resistance in the “endolymph” alone (2.5 + 1.3 sec, p = .01). Conclusion Compensatory changes in the R-C Product can reduce time to equilibrium. Significance Improved treatment of vertigo may be possible by application of principles that can affect resistance (fluid pathway diameter or viscosity) or compliance (stiffness of the oval or round window) of the systems.

The Relationship

Observations that dendritic cells (DCs) constitutively enter afferent lymphatic vessels in many organs and that DCs in some tissues, such as the lung, turnover rapidly in the steady state have led to the concept that a major fraction of lymph node DCs are derived from migratory DCs that enter the lymph node through upstream afferent lymphatic vessels. We used the lysozyme M–Cre reporter mouse strain to assess the relationship of lymph node and nonlymphoid organ DCs. Our findings challenge the idea that a substantial proportion of lymph node DCs derive from the upstream tissue during homeostasis. Instead, our analysis suggests that nonlymphoid organ DCs comprise a major population of DCs within lymph nodes only after introduction of an inflammatory stimulus.

The Relationship

The control of force by [Ca2+] was investigated in rat cardiac trabeculae loaded with fura-2 salt. At sarcomere lengths of 2.1-2.3 microns, the steady state force-[Ca2+]i relationship during tetanization in the presence of ryanodine was half maximally activated at a [Ca2+]i of 0.65 +/- 0.19 microM with a Hill coefficient of 5.2 +/- 1.2 (mean +/- SD, n = 9), and the maximal stress produced at saturating [Ca2+]i equalled 121 +/- 35 mN/mm2 (n = 9). The dependence of steady state force on [Ca2+]i was identical in muscles tetanized in the presence of the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). The force-[Ca2+]i relationship during the relaxation of twitches in the presence of CPA coincided exactly to that measured at steady state during tetani, suggesting that CPA slows the decay rate of [Ca2+]i sufficiently to allow the force to come into a steady state with the [Ca2+]i. In contrast, the relationship of force to [Ca2+]i during the relaxation phase of control twitches was shifted leftward relative to the steady state relationship, establishing that relaxation is limited by the contractile system itself, not by Ca2+ removal from the cytosol. Under control conditions the force-[Ca2+]i relationship, quantified at the time of peak twitch force (i.e., dF/dt = 0), coincided fairly well with steady state measurements in some trabeculae (i.e., three of seven). However, the force-[Ca2+]i relationship at peak force did not correspond to the steady state measurements after the application of 5 mM 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) (to accelerate cross-bridge kinetics) or 100 microM CPA (to slow the relaxation of the [Ca2+]i transient). Therefore, we conclude that the relationship of force to [Ca2+]i during physiological twitch contractions cannot be used to predict the steady state relationship.

Jiangxi ultra high voltage (UHV) accessed program is introduced. Based on uniform transfer equation, UHV π-type equivalent circuit is derived by considering the distributed parameter characteristics of UHV transmission line without conductance. Based on advanced digital power system simulator, the relationship of shunt reactor and steady-state voltage, as well as the relationship of shunt reactor and transient voltage, is achieved by using electromechanical and electromagnetic hybrid simulation, where the UHV between Hubei and Jiangxi is considered. Influences of shunt reactors’ location and the degree of compensation on UHV’s steady-state voltage and transient power frequency overvoltage are analyzed. The Logical results provide a meaningful guidance for the introduction of UHV power grid into Jiangxi power grid.

ABSTRACT Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in a substantial proportion of critically ill patients receiving intravenous colistin. In the pharmacokinetic/toxicodynamic analysis reported here, the relationship of the occurrence of AKI to exposure to colistin and a number of potential patient factors was explored in 153 critically ill patients, none of whom were receiving renal replacement therapy. Tree-based modeling revealed that the rates of AKI were substantially higher when the average steady-state plasma colistin concentration was greater than ∼2 mg/liter.

✓ The effects of removal of the calvaria and excision of the dura on the development of hydrocephalus was studied in adult cats made hydrocephalic by an intracisternal injection of kaolin. In some animals, the calvaria was removed prior to the induction of experimental hydrocephalus, and in others when the hydrocephalus was compensated. In both groups of cats, the results were similar. Ventricular dilatation was massive, often leaving a cortical mantle less than 1 mm thick. A mean ventricular volume measured in 17 cats was 16.9 ml. Cerebrospinal fluid turnover measured during steady-state ventricular perfusion showed significant increases in formation and decreases in absorption of spinal fluid when compared to that in hydrocephalic cats with intact skulls.
