Effect of ethanol on the clearance of airborne pneumococci and the rate of pneumococcal transformations in the lung.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rate of clearance of pneumococci from the lungs of mice infected by aerosols was found to vary inversely with the virulence of the pneumococci. Treatment of of the mice with ethanol delayed the clearance and increased the rate of pneumococcal transformations in vivo.

The effect of Environmental exposure to some chemical solvents on DPPC as important component of lung surfactant: an ab initio study
One of the main components of lung alveoli is surfactant. DPPC (Dipalmitolphosphatidylcholine) is thepredominant lipid component in lung surfactant that is responsible for lowering surface tension in alveoli in thisarticle. We used a very approximate model with computational method of Ab initio to describe the interactionsbetween DPPC as important component of lung surfactant and some chemical ...
متن کاملLung bacterial clearance in murine pneumococcal pneumonia.
We studied the bactericidal capacity of the rat lung during the development of pneumococcal pneumonia. Pneumonia was produced in a lower lobe by the intrabronchial instillation of 10(4)Streptococcus pneumoniae cells in buffer. Lung bacterial counts progressively increased, reaching 10(7) per lung within 48 h, and the increase was associated with localized atelectasis and consolidation. Bacteria...
متن کاملPharmacokinetic Behavior of Theophylline following PEEP in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Lung Injury
The effect of Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) on the hepatic elimination of low to moderate extraction ratio drugs has not been clearly defined. We prospectively investigated the effect of PEEP on the clearance of theophylline in 30 (20 males and 10 females) intubated critically ill adult patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). The Mean (±SD) age ...

متن کاملEffect of temperature on clearance rate, daily ration and digestion time of Mnemiopsis leidyi from the southern Caspian Sea
The effect of temperature on the main feeding parameters of Mnemiopsis leidyi from the southern Caspian Sea was studied in 2002. The clearance rates and daily rations were estimated from laboratory experiments in a wide range of temperatures from 12 to 27 ?C for M. leidyi of 12?17 mm in length. Clearance rate values changed from 52.5 to 107.3 ml ind-1 h-1. The coefficient Q10 in temperature 12 ...
