Objective To discuss the effect of different mechanical ventilation parameters on intra-abdominal pres-sure. Methods A total of 42 cases with mechanical ventilation suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and respiratory failure were selected for observing the effects of inspiratory platform time (Tplat), inspiratory time (Ti) and end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on intra-abdominal pressure. Results In SIMV+PSV ventilation mode, changes of Tplat and Ti had no significant effects on intra-abdominal pressure (P>0.05). There were no significant differences be-tween SIMV+PEEP0 and base line values (P>0.05). Conclusion The alteration of peep has a great influence in intra-ab-dominal pressure, which suggests the importance of selecting proper mechanical ventilation parameters.

Objective To explore the effects of exogenous methionine on arsenical distribution in liver,blood and brain of mice exposed to sodium arsenite through drinking water. Methods The female Kunming mice were randomly divided into control group, the alone arsenic exposure group , the low level methionine intervention group, the moderate level methionine intervention group and the high level methionine intervention group, eight mice in each group . The mice in the experimental groups were exposed to sodium arsenite through drinking water at 50 mg/L arsenic for four consecutive weeks. And at the fourth week the 5 groups were treated intraperitoneally with saline solution (control and As group),100 mg/kg b.w,200 mg/kg b.w or 400 mg/kg b.w methionine,respectively . Twenty-four hours after cessation of methionine administration,mice were anaesthetized and rapidly dissected. The samples of blood,liver and brain were removed immediately for arsenic species analysis. Levels of inorganic arsenic (iAs),monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsenic acid (DMA) were determined by HG-AAS method. Then total arsenic speciation( TAs), primary methylation ratio( PMR)and secondary methylation ratio( SMR)in each tissue were calculated. Results Compared with the control group, the levels of iAs, MMA, DMA and TAs in liver, brain and blood, were significantly higher in all experimental groups ( P

Objective To research the impact of various PEEP parameters of mechanical ventilation on liver mor-phology and function and on hemodynamics. Methods Fifty patients of respiratory failure due to COPD using mechanical ventilation was observed by prospective, exoterical and self-control methods after their condition were stabilized. The varia-tion of abdominal pressure was measured with different PEEP of 0 cmH2O, 5 cmH2O and 10 cmH2O with mechanical ventila-tion, and measured when patients breathe autonomously with tracheostomy tube. The changes of liver morphology, hepatic por-tal vein diameter, hemodynamics and liver function were also measured on above circumstances. Results With PEEP value increases:the abdominal pressure (IAP) rise (P<0.01) while liver morphology, function and hepatic portal did not change markedly evidently (P>0.05). By contrast, blood flow of hepatic portal vein reduced with PEEP increase (P<0.05). Conclu-sion Higher PEEP values on mechanical ventilation will causes abdominal pressure increases and low blood flow of hepatic portal , but not obvious impact on portal vein diameter and liver function.
