Key points• During high intensity exercise approximately 4% of the cardiac output leaves the
pulmonary circulation into the interstitium. This fluid flux has been attributed to an increase in …

急性高原病是暴露于高原时, 因高原低氧而在数小时至数天内出现的临床症候群, 若不及时诊治,
会发展为较为严重的高原肺水肿和高原脑水肿. 随着我国对西部地区投入力度的增加 …

When hypoxia increases during ascending in the mountains, ventilatory control and the
related oxygenation may be challenged. The pre-treatment by intermittent hypoxia will …

Acetazolamide is useful for acclimatizing to high altitude. How long it should be taken, and
the physiological consequences of stopping it have not been thoroughly studied. We …

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been documented in humans since Galen reported their
existence approximately 2000 years ago. PFO has been associated with a variety of …

Abstract The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) utilizes the Air Pollutants

Objectives: To compare blood flow in the pulmonary microcirculation (Qp), cardiac output
(Qt), the Qp/Qt ratio, and shunt blood flow (Qs) among three different age groups, healthy …

The primary objective of this thesis was to investigate the mechanisms of post-exercise and
altitude-induced proteinuria by measuring urinary alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (a1-AGP), a …

Abstract Background and Objectives: Accurately quantifying blood flow through a shunt
vessel is vitally important, because shunt prevents gas exchange and can provide a …
