Computer simulation of inspiratory nasal airflow and inhaled gas uptake in a rhesus monkey

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology

Abstract

There is increasing evidence that inspiratory airflow patterns play a major role in determining the location of nasal lesions induced in rats by reactive, water-soluble gases such as formaldehyde and chlorine. Characteristic lesion patterns have also been seen in inhalation toxicity studies conducted in rhesus monkeys, the nasal anatomy of which resembles that of humans. To examine the hypothesis that regions of high airflow-dependent uptake and lesions occur in similar nasal locations in the primate, airflow and gas uptake patterns were simulated in an anatomically accurate computer model of the right nasal airway of a rhesus monkey. The results of finite-element simulations of steady-state inspiratory nasal airflow for the full range of resting physiological flow rates are reported. Simulated airflow patterns agreed well with experimental observations, exhibiting secondary flows in the anterior nose and streamlined flow posteriorly. Simulated airflow results were used to predict gas transport to the nasal passage walls using formaldehyde as an example compound. Results from the uptake simulations were compared with published observations of formaldehyde-induced nasal lesions in rhesus monkeys and indicated a strong correspond...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
