    Notes: Abstract Objective: To study the effects of 6 h inhalation of aerosolized prostacyclin (PGI2) on platelet function.¶Design: In a prospective, double-blind, randomized study, 28 patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), received either 0.9 % sodium chloride (n = 8), PGI2 5 μg × ml–1 (n = 10) or PGI2 10 μg × ml–1 (n = 10) as an aerosol for 6 h postoperatively.¶Setting: Cardiothoracic intensive care unit at a university hospital.¶Interventions: All patients were studied immediately after surgery during mechanical ventilation and sedation. The PGI2 solutions or saline were administered with a jet nebulizer.¶Measurements and results: Bleeding time and chest tube drainage were measured. Blood samples for platelet aggregation, thrombelastography (TEG) and analysis of coagulation parameters and the stable prostacyclin metabolite 6-keto-PGF1α were obtained immediately before inhalation and after 2, 4 and 6 h of inhalation. After 6 h of PGI2 inhalation, regardless of administered dose, there was a lower rate of platelet aggregation and a lower maximal increase in light transmission in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) than in the control group. The TEG variable reaction time (R) was prolonged after 4 and 6 h of inhalation in the PGI2 group receiving 10 μg × ml–1. There were no differences between groups with respect to bleeding time and chest tube drainage or any of the other variables examined.¶Conclusion: Inhalation of PGI2 for 6 h in patients after cardiac surgery is associated with impaired platelet aggregation detected by in vitro techniques, with no in vivo signs of platelet dysfunction.

    Notes: Abstract Products and mechanisms of the reaction between the nitrate radical (NO3) and three of the most abundant reduced organic sulphur compounds in the atmosphere (CH3SCH3, CH3SH and CH3SSCH3), have been studied in a 480 L reaction chamber using in situ FT-IR and ion chromatography as analytical techniques. In the three reactions, methanesulphonic acid was found to be the most abundant sulphur containing product. In addition the stable products SO2, H2SO4, CH2O, and CH3ONO2 were identified and quantified and thionitric acid-S-methyl ester (CH3SNO2) was observed in the i.r. spectrum from all of the three reactions. Deuterated dimethylsulphide (CD3SCD3) showed an isotope effect on the reaction Deuterated dimethylsulphide (CD3SCD3) showed an isotope effect on the reaction rate constant (kH/kD) of 3.8±0.6, indicating that hydrogen abstraction is the first step in the NO3+CH3SCH3 reaction, probably after the formation of an inital adduct. Based on the products and intermediates identified, reaction mechanisms are proposed for the three reactions.

    Notes: Abstract The performance of a constant-temperature hot-wire anemometer for respiratory-gas-flow measurement has bee investigated. It is shown that the anemometer satisfies common demands with respect to accuracy, response time and to insensitivity to humidity and temperature variations. A calibration method is suggested that permits correction for variation of the flowmeter signal caused by changes of the gas composition. Finally, a procedure for linearisation of the flowmeter signal as a function of flow rate is presented.
