Ventilatory response kinetics and breathing pattern during exercise at different chemoreceptive drives.

Abstract

For studying the effects of different chemoreceptive drives on the ventilatory responses to muscular work, experiments were carried out with 16 healthy men. They accomplished a 5-min exercise while breathing with different gas mixtures or after hyperventilation. As was shown, the rapid component of the exercise hyperpnea increased with intensifying the hypercapnic and/or hypoxic stimuli and was reduced or abolished with attenuation of these stimuli. At this, hypoxic drive exerted primary influence on the response kinetics. In the steady-state exercise effects of the chemoreceptive stimuli were modulated by biomechanical factors, which leads to a energetically optimum breathing pattern being formed.

Concurrent carbogen and radiation therapy in children with high-risk brainstem gliomas.

In an attempt to improve local control, we assessed the feasibility of the addition of 4 min of carbogen inhalation (as a radiosensitizer) to daily fractionated radiotherapy in pediatric patients with high grade and/or diffuse brainstem gliomas. Ten patients inhaled carbogen for >90% of the radiation treatments. Median survival time from start of therapy was 0.80 years. Carbogen inhalation did not appear to improve the dismal prognosis.

2. Advances in pharmacotherapy for COPD.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common chronic lung disease in the world. In 1999, COPD ranked sixth among the most common causes of death and twelfth as a worldwide burden of disease. It has been estimated that by the year 2020 COPD will be the third leading cause of death and fifth as a worldwide burden of disease. Thus, COPD is a major medical problem and there is evidence that it is increasing throughout the world. Despite recognition of COPD as an important international health problem, COPD has been neglected among common diseases, with little investment in research on its underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. Recently, global and Japanese guidelines for COPD have been published. These guidelines seem to be useful to improve the underdiagnosis and undertreatment of COPD. In this review, I describe briefly the current recommendation for pharmacological therapy of stable COPD according to the global and Japanese guidelines for COPD.
