l lactic acid/hypoxia

Acute hypoxemia was produced in chronically catheterized sheep fetuses to determine the response time necessary to increase plasma immunoreactive erythropoietin (Ep) concentration. Sodium nitrite (0.2 mM) was infused via a fetal vein to induce fetal hypoxemia. The resultant fetal methemoglobinemia

The goal of this study was to evaluate whether sodium bicarbonate might be a useful form of therapy for hypoxic L-lactic acidosis; our aim was to determine if alkali could extend the time of survival in this setting. Hypoxia was induced in anesthetized, paralyzed, artificially ventilated rats by

Hypoxemia transiently inhibits the incidence of fetal breathing movements (FBM), but their incidence returns to normal after several hours despite maintained hypoxemia. We hypothesized that the lactic acidosis associated with prolonged systemic hypoxemia might mediate the adaptation of the hypoxemic

Injuries to avascular regions of menisci do not heal and result in significant discomfort to patients. Current treatments, such as partial meniscectomy, alleviate these symptoms in the short term but lead to premature osteoarthritis as a result of compromised stability and changes in knee

For avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH), repair and regeneration are difficult because of the edema and high pressure caused by continuous ischemia and hypoxia. Core decompression (CD) is a classic method for treating early ANFH before the collapse of the femoral head; however, its effect

According to the National Diabetes Statistics Report (2017) by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 9.4% of the US population, approximately 30.3 million people had diabetes while 84.1 million had pre-diabetes as of 2015. In addition to lifestyle changes, the American Diabetes

Lactic acid, the end metabolic product of anaerobic glycolysis is probably the mediator of the hypoxia induced vasodilation on retinal arterioles. In this study we explored the mechanisms of the retinal vasomotor effect of this metabolite by performing preretinal juxtaarteriolar pulsatile pressure

The growing demand of biodegradable plastic polymers is increasing the industrial need of enantiospecific l-lactic acid (l-LA), the building block to produce polylactides. The most suitable industrial strategy to obtain high amounts of LA is the microbial fermentation of fruit and vegetable wastes

BACKGROUND Neonates with critical left heart obstruction and intact atrial septum (IAS) or restrictive atrial septum (RAS) are at risk for hypoxia within hours of birth and remain a group at high risk for mortality. METHODS Prenatally diagnosed fetuses with critical left heart obstruction and IAS or

Nanofibre scaffolds are suitable tools for bone tissue engineering. Mimicking the extracellular matrix, they allow for cell growth and differentiation. However, in large 3D scaffolds, uniform cell colonisation presents an unsolved problem. Our aim was to design and analyse a method of colonising

Hypoxic lactic acidosis (HLA) was induced in dogs by ventilating them with a hypoxic gas mixture of 8% O2-92% N2. The animals were studied both in the control state and after development of HLA, where arterial lactate was above 5 mM, pH was below 7.2, bicarbonate was below 12 mM, and arterial PO2

The survival of cells in a three-dimensional scaffold until the ingrowth of blood vessels is an important challenge in bone tissue engineering. Oxygen generating biomaterials can provide the required oxygen and prevent hypoxia in a tissue-engineered scaffold. In this study, poly (L-lactic acid)
