Bioelectrical impedance analysis of body composition in patients with pulmonary emphysema

In this study we utilized bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to compare the body composition of 36 stable pulmonary emphysema (PE) patients with 19 healthy controls. We compared the PE patients and healthy controls in terms of fat-free mass (FFM) and body fat (BF) as percentages of ideal body weight (FFM/IBW, BF/IBW). FFM/IBW and BF/IBW were significantly lower in the PE patients than in the controls (75.0 +/- 9.8% vs. 85.2 +/- 7.3%, p < 0.001 and 11.8 +/- 6.4% vs. 16.7 +/- 7.7%, p < 0.05, respectively). We divided the PE patients into two subgroups according to FFM, then investigated the relationships between FFM and skeletal muscle strength, and between FFM and respiratory muscle strength. In patients with reduced FFM (FFM < 43.5 kg) grip strength as an index of skeletal muscle strength was significantly lower than in patients without reduced FFM (FFM > or = 43.5 kg) (25.7 +/- 7.8 kg vs. 36.2 +/- 7.2 kg, p < 0.005). As indexes of respiratory muscle strength, maximal expiratory pressure (PEmax) and maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax) were lower in the patients with reduced of FFM, but not to a statistically significant degree (49.6 +/- 20.8 cm H2O vs. 58.7 +/- 23.9 cm H2O and 40.5 +/- 19.2 cm H2O vs. 50.2 +/- 22.1 cm H2O, respectively). In the PE patients, FFM correlated closely with vital capacity (r = 0.528, p < 0.001), forced vital capacity (FVC) (r = 0.531, p < 0.001), FEV1.0 (r = 0.554, p < 0.001), FEV1.0/FVC (r = 0.467, p < 0.005), RV/TLC (r = -0.395, p < 0.05), DLco (r = 0.770, p < 0.001), and DLco/VA (r = 0.622, p < 0.001). However no correlation was observed between BF and any of the measures of lung function. The findings of our study suggest that FFM correlates with skeletal muscle strength, respiratory muscle strength and some measures of lung function in patients with PE, and that assessments of body composition are valuable to their clinical management.     

One electron reduction of metmyoglobin and methemoglobin and the reaction of the reduced molecule with oxygen

We have used the pulse radiolysis technique to reduce with solvated electrons (see article) a single Fe(III) site in methemoglobin and metmyoglobin. The reduction process was followed spectrophotometrically and the reactions rate constants were measured: (see article) =6.5 +/- 1-10(10) M-1-S-1. (see article)=2.5 +/- 0.3-10(10) M-1-S-1. Approx. 60% of the (see article) have reacted with the hemin group, and the rest of the (see article) have probably reacted with the globin moiety. We followed the reaction of the reduced proteins to yield the oxyderivatives and measured the rate constants of the oxygenation process k reduced methemoglobin + O2 = 2.6 +/- 0.6-10(7) M-1-S-1 and k myoglobin + O2 = 1.8 +/- 0.2-10(7) M-1-S-1, all the rate constants were measured at pH = 6.8, I = 0.004, T = 22 +/- 2 degrees C. The high rate constant for reduced methemoglobin indicates that one-site-reduced methemoglobin is probably in the R state, as predicted for methemoglobin from X-ray analysis. The spectra of the reduced and oxygenated species were measured under similar conditions at gamma = 450-650 nm. We were able to follow slight changes in the micro-second time scale, these changes were attributed to conformational changes. We were not able to detect any reaction between the radical (see article) and the hemin group (which would result in a complex such as heme O-2). This may be due to kinetic reasons.
