During lung transplantation, a number of factors may cause endothelial injury to the donor
organ, including ischemia, inadequate preservation, cardiopulmonary bypass, high …

In order to study noninvasively the regional distribution of changes in microvascular albumin
flux in septic shock, 131 I human serum albumin and 98m Tc red blood cells were injected IV …

This study proposed a standardized method for measuring alveolar epithelium membrane
permeability in the horse. The normal rate of clearance (%. min− 1) from lung into blood of …

Anesthetized pigs (n= 12) were given oleic acid (OA) to induce acute lung injury. Three
additional pigs were used as uninjured controls. Six of the animals were pretreated with …

Patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis often have no pulmonary oedema despite
considerably increased pulmonary venous pressure. Pulmonary microvascular permeability …

We have extended the dual isotope probe technique of Basran et al.[1] for the measurement
of pulmonary microvascular permeability (PMVP) to include gamma camera data acquisition …

BACKGROUND: Acute (or adult) respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is often associated
with a high mortality rate in the critical care population. The term acute lung injury (ALI), a …

Hypoxia is known to develop during intermittent haemodialysis. To investigate if increased
pulmonary capillary permeability to protein contributes to this phenomenon, a dual-isotope …

Intratracheal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in animals is a commonly used
model of acute lung injury, characterized by increased alveolar-capillary membrane …

Several groups of investigators are using external detection of radiolabeled protein to study
the flux of protein from plasma into the pulmonary interstitium. A basic assumption for these …
