Abstract

Nitric oxide generation by L-arginine (2 mg/kg/min) infusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) increases blood flow to all organs and reduces cytokine induced organ damage by reducing the level of marginating neutrophils (Ns). The N-trapping in the oxygenator (OX), arterial filter (AF), cardiotomy reservoir (CR), and N-margination were quantified with indium 111 labeled autologous neutrophils (INN) in nine groups of 40 Yorkshire pigs (30-35 kg). Cardiopulmonary bypass (180 min or 90 min CPB, 90 min reperfusion) was carried out at 2.5-3.5 L/min and at two temperatures (18 degrees C, 28 degrees C). The INN (650-780 microCi) was administered intravenously 15 mins before CPB. All pigs received heparin systemically (activated coagulation time > 400 secs); CPB was instituted with a roller pump, OX (Univox 1.8 m2), AF (0.25 m2), and CR (BCR-3500, Bentley Lab, Irvine, CA). The INN distribution in the device (OX, AF, CR) and organs was imaged with a gamma camera and measured with an ion chamber and a gamma counter. The LA infusion decreased N-trapping, estimated as the percent of injected INN (mean +/- standard deviation), in OX from control (2.7 +/- 2.02)% to (0.94 +/- 0.29)%, and margination in lung from control (48 +/- 4)% to minim...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
