We tested the preventive effects of catalase, an enzymatic scavenger of hydrogen peroxide, or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a hydroxyl radical scavenger, on intravenous alloxan-induced lung edema in four groups of pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized, ventilated dogs for 3 h: saline (20 ml.kg-1.h-1) infusion alone (n = 5), alloxan (75 mg/kg) + saline infusion (n = 5), catalase (150,000 U/kg) + alloxan + saline infusion (n = 5), or DMSO (4 mg/kg) + alloxan + saline infusion (n = 5). Catalase or DMSO significantly prevented the increase in plasma thromboxane B2 and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha over 3 h after alloxan and the accumulation of extravascular lung water after 3 h [3.95 +/- 0.52 (SE) g/g with catalase, 3.06 +/- 0.42 g/g with DMSO] but not early pulmonary arterial pressor response. An electron microscopic study indicated that catalase or DMSO significantly reduced the endothelial cellular damages after alloxan. These findings strongly suggest that hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical are major mediators responsible for intravenous alloxan-induced edematous lung injury in anesthetized ventilated dogs.

D007958 Leukocyte Count The number of WHITE BLOOD CELLS per unit volume in venous BLOOD. A differential leukocyte count measures the relative numbers of the different types of white cells. Blood Cell Count, White,Differential Leukocyte Count,Leukocyte Count, Differential,Leukocyte Number,White Blood Cell Count,Count, Differential Leukocyte,Count, Leukocyte,Counts, Differential Leukocyte,Counts, Leukocyte,Differential Leukocyte Counts,Leukocyte Counts,Leukocyte Counts, Differential,Leukocyte Numbers,Number, Leukocyte,Numbers, Leukocyte
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D011654 Pulmonary Edema Excessive accumulation of extravascular fluid in the lung, an indication of a serious underlying disease or disorder. Pulmonary edema prevents efficient PULMONARY GAS EXCHANGE in the PULMONARY ALVEOLI, and can be life-threatening.

D002374 Catalase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the conversion of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to water and oxygen. It is present in many animal cells. A deficiency of this enzyme results in ACATALASIA. Catalase A,Catalase T,Manganese Catalase,Mn Catalase
D004121 Dimethyl Sulfoxide A highly polar organic liquid, that is used widely as a chemical solvent. Because of its ability to penetrate biological membranes, it is used as a vehicle for topical application of pharmaceuticals. It is also used to protect tissue during CRYOPRESERVATION. Dimethyl sulfoxide shows a range of pharmacological activity including analgesia and anti-inflammation.
