The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of three resuscitation procedures on respiratory and metabolic adaptation to extra-uterine life during the first 24 h after birth in healthy newborn calves. Twenty-four newborn calves were randomly grouped into four categories: six calves did not receive any specific resuscitation procedure and were considered as controls (C); six received pharyngeal and nasal suctioning immediately after birth by use of a hand-powered vacuum pump (SUC); six received five litres of cold water poured over their heads immediately after birth (CW) and six were housed in a calf pen with an infrared radiant heater for 24 h after birth (IR). Calves were examined at birth, 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min, 2, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after birth and the following measurements were recorded: physical and clinical examination, arterial blood gas analysis, pulmonary function tests using the oesophageal balloon catheter technique, arterial and venous blood acid-base balance analysis, jugular venous blood sampling for determination of metabolic, haematological and passive immune transfer variables. SUC was accompanied by improved pulmonary function efficiency and by a less pronounced decrease in body temperature. The "head shaking movement" and the subsequent temporary increase in total pulmonary resistance as well as the greater lactic acidosis due to CW were accompanied by more efficient, but statistically non-significant, pulmonary gas exchanges. IR allowed maintenance of higher body temperature without requiring increased catabolism of energetic stores. IR also caused a change in breathing pattern which contributed to better distribution of the ventilation and to slightly improved gas exchange. The results indicate that use of SUC, CW and IR modified respiratory and metabolic adaptation during the first 24 h after birth without side-effects. These resuscitation procedures should be recommended for their specific indication, i.e. cleansing of fetal fluid from upper airways, hypothermal stimulation of breathing and prevention of heat losses.
The intercalated (IC) cells of the cortical collecting duct (CCD) are important to acid-base homeostasis by secreting acid and reabsorbing bicarbonate. Acid secretion is mediated predominantly by apical membrane Schering (SCH-28080)-sensitive H(+)-K(+)- ATPase (HKA) and bafilomycin-sensitive H(+)-ATPase. The SCH-28080-sensitive HKA is believed to be the gastric HKA (HKAg). Here we examined apical membrane potassium-dependent proton secretion in IC cells of wild-type HKAg (+/+) and HKAg knockout (-/-) mice to determine relative contribution of HKAg to luminal proton secretion. The results demonstrated that HKAg (-/-) and wild-type mice had comparable rates of potassium-dependent proton secretion, with HKAg (-/-) mice having 100% of K(+)-dependent H(+) secretion vs. wild-type mice. Potassium-dependent proton secretion was resistant to ouabain and SCH-28080 in HKAg knockout mice but was sensitive to SCH-28080 in wild-type animals. Northern hybridizations did not demonstrate any upregulation of colonic HKA in HKAg knockout mice. These data indicate the presence of a previously unrecognized K(+)-dependent SCH-28080 and ouabain-insensitive proton secretory mechanism in the cortical collecting tubule that may play an important role in acid-base homeostasis.
The aim of this study was to investigate the acid-base balance during repeated cycling sprints in children and adults. Eleven boys (9.6 +/- 0.7 yr) and ten men (20.4 +/- 0.8 yr) performed ten 10-s sprints on a cycle ergometer separated by 30-s passive recovery intervals. To measure the time course of lactate ([La]), hydrogen ions ([H(+)]), bicarbonate ions ([HCO(3)(-)]), and base excess concentrations and the arterial partial pressure of CO(2), capillary blood samples were collected at rest and after each sprint. Ventilation and CO(2) output were continuously measured. After the 10th sprint, concentrations of boys vs. men were as follows: [La], 8.5 +/- 2.1 vs. 15.4 +/- 2.0 mmol/l; [H(+)], 43.8 +/- 1.3 vs. 66.9 +/- 9.9 nmol/l (P < 0.001). Significant correlations showed that, for a given [La], [H(+)] was lower in the boys compared with the men (P < 0.001). Significant relationships also indicated that, for a given [La], [HCO(3)(-)] and base excess concentration were similar in the boys compared with the men. Moreover, significant relationships revealed that, for a given [H(+)] or [HCO(3)(-)], arterial partial pressure of CO(2) was lower in the boys compared with the men (P < 0.001). The ventilation-to-CO(2) output ratio was higher in the boys during the first five rest intervals and was then higher in the men during the last five sprints. To conclude, during repeated sprints, the ventilatory regulation related to the change in acid-base balance induced by lactic acidosis was more important during the first rest intervals in the boys compared with the men.
