Capillary fluid filtration. Starling forces and lymph flow.

The basic forces responsible for maintaining fluid balance between the microcirculation and interstitium are defined, and physiologists have termed tissue pressure, capillary pressure, plasma colloidal osmotic (TTP), and tissue colloidal Osmotic pressure as Starling forces, however, a mathematical relationship between those forces was not formulated by Starling.

NEM and filipin increase albumin transport in lung microvessels.

The demonstrated relative cooling insensitivity of the transfer of albumin across the endothelium in rat lungs does not support the contention of transcytosis of proteins across theentryhelium.

Effect of nitric oxide and cyclooxygenase products on vascular resistance in dog and rat lungs.

The flow increase that occurs as venous and arterial pressures are elevated together was inhibited by L-NAME in rat lungs and by indomethacin in dog lungs, and the ratio of prostacyclin to thromboxane tended to be higher.

Adhesion molecules contribute to ischemia and reperfusion-induced injury in the isolated rat lung.

Leukocyte adherence in the pulmonary, microvasculature and subsequent permeability increase after I/R is dependent on the integrin CD18, its endothelial cell ligand intercellular adhesion molecule 1, and the endothelialcell rolling factor P-selectin but not the leukocyte rolling factor L- selectin.

Reversal of pulmonary capillary ischemia-reperfusion injury by rolipram, a cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor.

It is concluded that reversal of I/R-induced increased microvascular permeability can be achieved with rolipram and that the mechanism of action of ro Lipram is probably through PDE isozyme-selective inhibition.

Dynamics and control of the body fluids

Capillary filtration coefficient, vascular resistance, and compliance in isolated mouse lungs.

Although many recently produced transgenic mice possess gene alterations affecting pulmonary vascular function, there are few baseline measurements of vascular resistance and permeability. Therefore,…

Pulmonary capillary pressure: A review

Pulmonary capillary hydrostatic pressure is an important determinant of pulmonary edema especially in the setting of pulmonary hypertension and adult respiratory distress syndrome and is the major physiologic parameter that should be measured when various forms of plasma volume expansion and pulmonary vasodilators are used in the critically ill patient.

Segmental microvascular permeability in ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat lung.

The data indicate that normal solvent microvascular permeability was predominantly postalveolar, and after I/R damage, the Postalveolar (venular) permeability comprised 52% of the total, whereas the prealveolar and alveolar vessels comprised only 27 and 23%, respectively, of thetotal K fc.
