Dynamics of the transcapillary turnover of liquids in the brain and soft tissues of the head was studied in pre-trained small laboratory animals (rats) during antiorthostasis, and their controls. Training for antiorthostasis consisted of tail-suspension for 2 hours in the period of two weeks. The transcapillary turnover of liquids was determined based on the arteriovenous difference in blood density (AVBD). Blood density was measured with the equipment of Anton Paar K.G. (Austria). Rats in the horizontal position did not exhibit any apparent trend in the dynamics of blood transcapillary turnover. Blood drain from the interstitial space at the time of return of the antiorthostatic rats into the horizontal position was dependent on the length of antiorthostatis. Beginning from the fifth hour of tail suspension, changed AVBD sign was an indication of edema of the muzzle soft tissue. This phenomenon was not observed in the pre-trained rats. Similar results were obtained in the investigation of cerebral vessels AVBD. Hence, changes in the transcapillary turnover of liquids in cranium during antiorthostatic hypokinesia point to the dominance of liquid filtration into the extravascular space. Antiorthostatic pre-training precludes liquid deposition in the interstitial space of the brain and the cerebral soft tissue.

Albumin and fibrinogen synthesis rates in advanced chronic liver disease.

Synthesis of plasma proteins is an important function of the liver that has sparsely been investigated by modern techniques in patients with advanced chronic liver disease (CLD). Twenty-eight well-characterized patients with CLD under evaluation for liver transplantation were included. Albumin and fibrinogen synthesis rates were measured by the flooding dose technique using stable isotope-labeled phenylalanine.

Albumin Turnover in Peritoneal and Hemodialysis.

Semin Dial

November 2016

Department of Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Clinical Sciences Lund, Lund, Sweden.

The turnover of albumin is increased in both peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) due to increased external losses, normally leading to compensatory increases in the hepatic albumin synthesis. The normal rate of albumin synthesis is on the order of 12 g/day corresponding to an equally large albumin fractional catabolic rate of ~4% daily. Most albumin catabolism is assumed to occur in the endothelium, but there is also renal and hepatic catabolism and leakage into the gastrointestinal tract.

A model is developed and analyzed for type IV collagen turnover in the kidney glomerular basement membrane (GBM), which is the primary structural element in the glomerular capillary wall. The model incorporates strain dependence in both deposition and removal of the GBM, leading to an equilibrium tissue strain at which deposition and removal are balanced. The GBM thickening decreases tissue strain per unit of transcapillary pressure drop according to the law of Laplace, but increases the transcapillary pressure drop required to maintain glomerular filtration.

The objectives of this study were (1) to measure plasma (V(p)), blood (V(b)), extracellular (V(e)), and interstitial fluid (V(ist)) volumes using the same techniques; (2) to measure the rate of plasma turnover; and (3) to characterize the three important variables required to interpret transvascular flux at an organismal level (vascular compliance [C(vas)], interstitial compliance [C(ist)], and the whole-body transvascular filtration coefficient [F(c)]) in two species of anurans that differ in their capacity to regulate blood volume during dehydrational and hemorrhagic stress. The disappearance curve of Evans blue-labeled native plasma protein fitted a two-component exponential decay model for both species, indicating that plasma proteins exchanged quickly between two kinetically distinct compartments, V(p) and V(e). V(p) calculated using serial sampling times <10 min were 61.
