Tissue to plasma capillary permeability of 131I-albumin in the perfused rabbit ear.

The tissue to plasma transfer of 131I-albumin was recorded in perfused rabbit ears (n = 6) following equilibration for 24 hr. 125I-fibrinogen served as the plasma marker, and was introduced intravenously 15 min before clamping. The ears were rollerpump perfused with isotonic diluted plasma at a constant rate of (mean +/- SD) 5.1 +/- 1.5 ml (min.100 g)-1. The mean extravascular albumin distribution volume was 12.4 +/- 1.1 ml.100 g-1, and the fibrinogen volume (plasma volume in tissue) was 3.1 +/- 0.4 ml.100 g-1 as determined from biopsies of the contralateral ear. The initial transfer of albumin was marked, and occurred at rates corresponding to a unidirectional clearance (Cl(0)) of 0.068 +/- 0.012 ml (min.100 g)-1. However, with a reduction of mean interstitial albumin tracer content of no more than 4%, net transport decreased to reach slowly declining levels 5 to 10 times lower within 10 min of continued perfusion. The decrease was considered due to rapid exhaustion of a small interstitial pool of tracer immediately adjacent to the exchange vessel membrane, followed by an increasingly retarded outwash from more distant areas. The results suggest a bimodal structural resistance to albumin movement: a relatively low resistance in the capillary membrane, and a considerable restriction to albumin transport located within the interstitial space.

Evaluation of pulmonary alveolo-capillary permeability in Type 2 diabetes mellitus: using technetium 99mTc-DTPA aerosol scintigraphy and carbon monoxide diffusion capacity.

The thickening of alveolar basement membrane is found in autopsies, along with microvascular pathologies, in Type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). To detect the function and permeability of alveolar basement membrane, carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) and technetium 99m-diethyltriaminepentaaceticacid ((99m)Tc-DTPA) aerosol scintigraphy methods can be used. The aim of this study was to determine alveolar basement membrane damage using these two methods. Nineteen women and 6 men, nonsmoking, Type 2 DM cases, without any lung and/or heart disease and who had neither anemia nor obesity, made up the patient group. They were compared with six female and nine male healthy cases who had the same characteristics with the diabetes cases. All of the cases DLCO were measured by single-breath method and (99m)Tc-DTPA aerosol scintigraphy was performed. DLCO showed no difference between the two groups. Aerosol scintigraphy was significantly decreased in the diabetic group (P=.01). In cases with >5 years of diabetic duration (P<.01), in cases with glycolized hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) </=8% (P<.05) and >8% (P<.05), and in microangiopathic cases (P<.01), alveolo-capillary permeability was significantly decreased than in the control group. Among the same groups, no significant difference could be detected for DLCO. The permeability of alveolar basement membrane can reduce in respect to diabetes duration and poor metabolic control. According to our investigation, (99m)Tc-DTPA aerosol scintigraphy method is more sensitive than DLCO method for determining these pathologies.

Multiple pathways of capillary permeability.

Morphological and physiological studies indicate multiple routes for transport across capillary endothelium. However, the identification of the morphological counterparts of specific transport processes (or the assignment of specific transport roles to morphologically identifiable pathways) has been only partly achieved: the contribution of endothelial cell membranes to transport of water and small, lipid-insoluble molecules needs to be evaluated. The identification of the "small pore" pathway for water and lipid-insoluble molecules with the intercellular junctions still remains questionable. The contributions to total macromolecular transport of junctions, single vesicles (pinocytosis, cytopempsis), chains of vesicles, and fenestrae are not yet known.
