Abstract
Growing interest has recently been shown in Tepary beans (Phaseolus acutifolius) because they contain lectins and protease inhibitors that have been shown to have a specific cytotoxic effect on human cancer cells. Bean lectins offer protection against biotic and abiotic stress factors, so it is possible that mechanical foliar damage may increase lectin production. This study evaluates the effect of mechanical stress (foliar damage) on lectin and protease inhibitor content in Tepary beans. Seed yield was also analyzed, and phenolic content and antioxidant capacity (DPPH and TEAC) were determined in the leaves. An experimental design with random blocks of three treatments (T1: control group, T2: 50% mechanical foliar damage and T3: 80% mechanical foliar damage) was carried out. Mechanical foliar damage increased the amount of lectin binding units (LBUs) fivefold (from 1280 to 6542 LBUs in T3) but did not affect units of enzymatic activity (UEA) against trypsin (from 60.8 to 51 UEA in T3). Results show that controlled mechanical foliar damage could be used to induce overexpression of lectins in the seeds of Tepary beans. Mechanical foliar damage reduced seed production (-14.6%: from 1890 g to 1615 g in T3) and did not significantly increase phenolic compound levels in leaves.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect of volume of aspirates with different pHs on mortality associated with pulmonary aspiration, hydrochloric acid solutions were injected into the tracheas of 336 Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were divided randomly into 33 groups, were observed for 96 hr after aspiration, and were not resuscitated. Deaths were divided into two groups: early, less than 30 min after aspiration, and late, greater than 4 hr after aspiration. Late deaths, accounting for 22% of all fatalities, occurred exclusively in animals aspirating solutions with a pH less than 2.5. These late deaths indicated progressive lung damage as opposed to acute cardiorespiratory failure, which early deaths suggested. Low volume pulmonary aspirates (0.3 ml/kg) with extremely low pH (1.0) resulted in a high mortality rate (90%). Conversely, higher volume pulmonary aspirates (1.0-2.0 ml/kg) with a higher pH (greater than or equal to 1.8) resulted in a low mortality rate (14%). These data demonstrate an important interaction between pH and volume of aspirates: even low volumes have a high mortality rate if pH is very low, whereas if gastric fluid is effectively buffered, then much higher volumes than previously thought can be tolerated. This suggests that the routine use of nonparticulate antacids may be indicated in patients at risk from aspiration of stomach contents and should not be withheld because of concern of increasing gastric volume.

Abstract
The effect of up to 15 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on cerebrospinal fluid pressure (Pcsf) was investigated in five anaesthetised, mechanically ventilated dogs during normal and then elevated (40-50 cm H2O) intracranial pressure (ICP). Stepwise elevations of PEEP in 5 cm H2O increments resulted in small rises in Pcsf at normal ICP and in significantly larger rises when ICP was elevated. The regression equations for the relationships between Pcsf and end-expiratory pressure (EEP) were as follows: Pcsf = 12.95 + 0.82 EEP for normal ICP, and Pcsf = 46.41 + 2.06 EEP for elevated ICP. Mean PaCO2 rose from 39.7 +/- 2.5 to 47.6 +/- 5.0 torr during normal ICP, and from 34.2 +/- 2.9 to 50.9 +/0- 5.3 torr at elevated ICP as PEEP was elevated to 15 cm H2O. We conclude that PEEP raised Pcsf, and that this increase is more severe under conditions of elevated ICP. The rise in Pcsf due to PEEP may be explained by either the rise in intrathoracic pressure or the rise in PaCO2, or both.

Abstract
Intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) allows patients to breathe spontaneously between mechanically supported breaths. Recently, several manufacturers have implied that nonsynchronous application of the mechanical breath may depress cardiovascular function and increase pulmonary barotrauma. Because it is technically difficult and expensive to synchronize mechanical ventilation to spontaneous breathing, we sought to determine whether there is any significant difference in cardiopulmonary function during synchronous and nonsynchronous mandatory ventilation. Our investigation failed to support the hypothesis that synchronization of spontaneous and mechanically mediated breathing is physiologically beneficial.

Abstract
Transmission of airway pressure to the intrapleural space and change in functional residual capacity by positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) were measured in ten anesthetized swine. Measurements and calculations were performed with varying lung and chest wall compliances. When both compliances were normal, approximately half of the applied airway pressure was transmitted. Aspiration of hydrochloric acid reduced lung compliance approximately fourfold and decreased airway pressure transmission. Increased thoracic compliance also reduced airway pressure transmission. When acid aspiration reduced lung compliance and sternotomy simultaneously increased thoracic compliance, pressure transmission was maximally reduced. Decreases in either thoracic or lung compliance reduced the volume-expanding effects of PEEP. Positive end-expiratory pressure was least effective when thoracic and lung compliances were reduced simultaneously. Careful assessment of both lung and thoracic compliances may be helpful in treating patients requiring elevated airway pressure.

Abstract
The administration of sodium bicarbonate solution, which has been advocated for the treatment of metabolic acidosis, may have detrimental side effects. We evaluated oxyhemoglobin saturation and oxygen tensions in eight anesthetized swine before and after freshwater near-drowning and after a rapid intravenous infusion of 7.5% sodium bicarbonate solution (8 mEq/kg). After freshwater aspiration, arterial and venous oxygen tensions and oxyhemoglobin saturation decreased. Administration of sodium bicarbonate resulted in decreased venous and increased arterial, oxygen tensions. Arterial, but not venous, oxyhemoglobin saturation increased. These findings suggest that sodium bicarbonate caused a distinct leftward shift in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, which could impair tissue oxygenation. Therefore, to avoid detrimental effects, sodium bicarbonate should be administered slowly and in a dose sufficient just to correct metabolic acidosis.

Abstract
We compared assisted mechanical ventilation with controlled mechanical ventilation with and without PEEP in 10 anesthetized swine. Catheters were placed to measure airway, intrapleural, and blood pressure; PaO2 and PaCO2; arterial pH; total minute ventilation; and mixed exhaled oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions. We calculated the ratio of physiological dead space to tidal volume, alveolar minute ventilation, CO2 production, VO2, and RQ. We found no clinically or statistically significant difference between assisted and controlled ventilation.

Abstract
Three adult monkeys were anesthetized with ketamine and ventilated with fluorocarbon liquid [perfluoro bis (1, 4-isopropoxy) butane (Caroxin-D)] at 1 atmosphere on two separate occasions. During five runs, liquid ventilation was continued for 60 minutes. The sixth run was continued for ten minutes. Arterial blood gas levels during and after liquid ventilation were adequate for survival. Three years after the first period of liquid ventilation, the animals were killed. Approximately 0.001 mg of fluorocarbon per gram of tissue was present in the kidney, liver, brain, spleen, muscle, and heart. Fat contained approximately seven to nine times this amount, and the lung and pulmonary lymph nodes contained approximately 1,000 times this amount. In no case was it clinically evident that the monkeys had undergone periods of liquid ventilation. We conclude that primates can be ventilated successfully with liquid fluorocarbon on at least two separate occasions and can return to breathing air without obvious deleterious effects, but fluorocarbon is retained in small amounts for at least three years.

Abstract
The authors evaluated the efficacy of continuous positive-pressure ventilation (CPPV) and methylprenisolone alone and in combination as therapy for near-drowning in 80 dogs that had aspirated distilled water (22 ml/kg or 44 ml/kg). Forty dogs were treated with mechanical ventilation for one hour and 40 for 24 hours. Blood-gas tensions, pH, cardiac output and intrapulmonary shunt (Qs/Qt) were measured frequently for 24 hours. Blood-gas tensions and pH were again measured 48 and 72 hours and seven days later in survivors. Arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) decreased and Qs/Qt increased in all animals following aspiration and before therapy. Forty dogs received methylprednisolone intravenously (30 mg/kg) (20 breathed spontaneously and 20 had CPPV). There was a significant increase in PaO2 and decrease in pulmonary shunt in dogs that were ventilated mechanically compared with animals that breathed spontaneously. Treatment with methylprednisolone made no difference in blood gases, pulmonary shunt, or survival rates. Thus, no evidence to support the use of methylprednisolone in the treatment of the pulmonary lesion of fresh-water near-drowning was found. (Key words: Drowning, fresh-water; Hormones, adrenal, methylprednisolone.)

Abstract
Five healthy rhesus monkeys were ventilated with intermittent mandatory ventilation and 20 torr positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) for 8 hours. PEEP was increased to 25 torr and the monkeys were ventilated for 4 more hours. Lactated Ringer's solution and human salt-poor albumin were used to expand plasma and extracellular fluid volume throughout the entire period of study. Homologous blood was administered to maintain hematocrit at control levels and maintenance fluids were infused to maintain transmural pulmonary capillary wedge pressure at 5 to 15 torr. Although cardiac output, mean aortic blood pressure, oxygen consumption, venous admixture, transmural pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, HCO3- and in-vivo base excess were not changed when intermittent mandatory ventilation was employed, cardiac output and blood pressure were significantly depressed by brief periods of controlled mechanical ventilation when alternated with intermittent mandatory ventilation. Sporadic increases in arterial-venous oxygen content difference occurred. Arterial carbon dioxide tension was elevated moderately, with a concomitant depression of arterial pH. No pneumothorax occurred. High PEEP was well tolerated with intermittent manditory ventilation, intravascular volume expansion, and careful cardiovascular monitoring.

Abstract
Twenty-three beagle dogs were ventilated with perfluorinated liquid, perfluoro-1-isopropoxy-hexane (Caroxin-F) for 1 h and were reconverted to gaseous breathing. Hematologic and biochemical changes were studied in five dogs for 1 yr and the remaining animals were followed for evidence of retained Caroxin-F for up to 3 yr. We found that the dogs could be ventilated with liquid Caroxin-F and returned to spontaneous breathing of gaseous oxygen with normal blood gas exchange within 24-72 h. Serum alkaline phosphatase, serum cholesterol, and white blood cell count increased with liquid ventilation but returned to normal in less than 1 wk. Trace amounts of Caroxin-F were detected by chromatography in all tissues studied for the entire 3-yr period. The highest levels of Caroxin-F were found in the lungs and associated lymph nodes. No histologic evidence of the presence of Caroxin-F was seen except for local accumulations of vacuolated macrophages in the lungs and associated lymph nodes. We conclude that Caroxin-F can be breathed without residual deleterious effects, even though trace amounts remained for at least 3 yr.

Abstract
With a desk-top, programmable calculator, it is now possible to do complex, previously time-consuming computations in the blood-gas laboratory. The authors have developed a program with the necessary algorithms for temperature correction of blood gases and calculation of acid-base variables and intrapulmonary shunt. It was necessary to develop formulas for the Po2 temperature-correction coefficient, the oxyhemoglobin-dissociation curve for adults (withe necessary adjustments for fetal blood), and changes in water vapor pressure due to variation in body temperature. Using this program in conjuction with a Monroe 1860-21 statistical programmable calculator, it is possible to temperature-correct pH,Pco2, and Po2. The machine will compute alveolar-arterial oxygen tension gradient, oxygen saturation (So2), oxygen content (Co2), actual HCO minus 3 and a modified base excess. If arterial blood and mixed venous blood are obtained, the calculator will print out intrapulmonary shunt data (Qs/Qt) and arteriovenous oxygen differences (a minus vDo2). There also is a formula to compute P50 if pH,Pco2,Po2, and measured So2 from two samples of tonometered blood (one above 50 per cent and one below 50 per cent saturation) are put into the calculator.
