Abstract

Part I.Fifteen normal subjects aid eighteen asthmatic patients were tested by spiro-

graphy and body plethysmography, and changes of' airway resistance oeforo and afterinhalation of sulfur dioxide in three and six minutes were followed and anmlyscd.

The mean of variation of airway resistance was 1.85 in normal subjects and2.03 in asthmatic patients, and S.D. of variation of that was i0.2 in formar and-1.67 in latter. Airway resistance was higher in moderate or severe case: of di-sease than in mild case3.

Asthmatic patients showed increased sensitivity to sulfur dioxide at 5, 13, 20ppm in the air during the period of three and six minutes inhalation wile no changewas recognized at 13 ppm in the group of normal subjects. A correlation betweendaily variation of airway resistance and daily changes of the atmospheric contentof sulfur dioxide was noted in a asthmatic subject.

Part II.In experimental asthma, change of mechanical properties ef the lung of guinea

pigs was studied in relation to dose of administered histamine and acetylcholino.To-Lai flow resistance and pulmonary resistance increased abruptly at the time ofshock as much as twice of the control value, while pulmonary compliance began todecrease on in)'lation with the concentration around one sixteenth of shock con-centration and thereafter almost linear relationship was found between pulmonarycompliance and logarythm of histamine or acetylcholine concantiation.

According to those results, the influence of sulfur dioxide exposurc to ex-perimental asthma was studied in guinea pigs, measuring bronchial sensitivity tohistamine by the change of total respiratory resistance. However, no significantchange of bronchial sensitivity to histamine was observed among the groips exposed.The results give us an impression that the air-pollution mieht be one of the aggra-vating factors of bronchial asthma but have little role in the etioloa.

STUDIE CP RESPIRATORY DISEASES DUE TO AIR POLLUTION IN THE TOKYO-YOKOHAMA AREA

It has been found in the previous reportsl)2)that the symptoms of bronchialasthma and chronic bronchitis increase with higher concentration of juspended par-ticles and sulfur dioxide in the air, and moreover, an impression was given thatthe inhalation of sulf'u dioxide increased bronchial sensitivity to acetylcholinein guinea pigs in which changes in mechanical properties of the lung such as lungcompliance and airway resistance were measured.

In an attempt to explore the above mentioned results, further investigutionhas been aimed to clarify, whether airway resistance of asthmatic patients is in-fluenced by the presence of air pollutants in Tokyo (1), and whether the mechanicalchanges in the lung in guinea pigs induced by histamine inhalation are influencedby the inhalation of noxious agent as sulfur dioxide (2).

PART I. The Influence of Sulf~ur Dioxide to Asthmatic Patientsmeasured by the Change of Airway Resistance

Pulmonary obstractive disturbance observed on asthmatic patients was measuredby spirography and body-plethysmography as well. However, airway resistancemeasured by body-plethysmography was mainly discussed in this part and also dis-cussed in relation to other parameters measured by spirography.

Materials and Methods

1. SubjectsFifteen normal subjects and eighteen asthmatic patients were tested by

spirography and body plethysmography. Normal subjects were healthy labcratorypersonels having no respiratory disorder due to specific or non-specific diseases.The asthmatic patients were chosen from the Outpatient Clinic of the Department ofPhysical Therapy and Medicine, University of Tokyo, School of Medicine. Their sexand aga distribution were listed in Table 1 and 2.

2. Methods1) Spirography was performed using Benedict-Roth Respirocater which capacity was13-5L and it's recording speed was 44mm/beo. Measured parameters were vital capa-city (vC), a percentage of vital capacity to the predicted volume (%VC), forcedexpiratory vital capacity (FEV), ore second volume of WE ( 1'i.) and a percentageof EV1.o to the .FV (FRVi.O%

2) Airway resistance was neasurad by e body-pletoysmrai ph with Nochisukis methodwhich was a reformation of DuBois' or44.inal method. Applied principle was basedon the theory that airway,q tnco (R) in e ati of' as-irway pressure (P)durin flow to airflow (V). ) Measurinc -woodure is stated below.

A subject sits and breaths inside an airtight box, in which pressure of thebox is the mirror image of alvelolar presure. If the ratio of alveolar pressureto box-pressure is laown, airway resiatance will .oe calculated by aeasuring airflowand box-pressure. Airflow can be masured directly by asie otachopmph.

Sumary

1. Fifteen normal subjects and eighteen asthmatic patients were tusted by spiro-graPhY as well as body plethysmography, and ehanges of airway resistance beforeand after inhalation of sulfur dioxide in three and six minutes were followed andanalysed.

Variation of airway resistance among normal subjects ranged between 1.5 and2.4 (cm H 0/L/sec) with a mean of 1.85 - 0.2 (S.D.), while in asthmatic patientsit ranged between 0.9 and 3.8 with an average of 2.03 ± 1.67 (S.D.). Airway re-sittance was higher in moderate or severe cases of disease than in mild cases.

Asthmatic patients showed increased sensitivity to sulfur dioxide at 5, 13and 20 ppm in the air during the period of three and six minutes inhalation -whileno change was recognized at 13 pin in the group of normal subjects. FEV 1.% asth-tic patients showed no change when airway resistance varied markedly.2. A correlation between daily variation of airway resistance and daily changesof the atmospheric sontent of sulfur dioxide was noted in a mild asthmatic subject.

PART II.CHANGES IN MECHANICAL .0vTERTS OF GUINEA PIG IN EXPERIMENTAL ASThXA INDUCEDBr ACETYLCHOLTNE OR HISTAknuz

Since the shock organ of guinea pigs is lung and inhalation of aerosols ofhistamine or acetylcholine causes respiratory changeb .esembling to the humanasthmatic attack. Guinea pigs has been uses to investigate the offects of variousdrugs for bronchial asthma. Changes of ;aaohar.lal vroperties of the lung in ex-perimenta4 asthma was reported almost identical to tnubC .n huran asthiiaticattaks.2 ) However, the changes in relation to doses of a -not been well studied.

The aims of this study are (1) to know how mechanical propertien of the lungof guinea pigs change in relation to doses of administered histamine or acetyl-choline, (2) to know which of measurement will be appropriate to represent experi-mental asthma.

METBODS

Guinea pigs was anesthetized with ether and a polyethylen catheter 1.2mm D.M.was introduced into the right middle intrapleural space, and placed in the body-plethysmograph according to Amdurs method 1 ) as shown in Fig. i. IntrapleurRlpressure was transmitted to a ressa transducer (Sanborn Koicl '26S) throughthe intrapleural catheter which was filled with saline solution. Ai-flrw wAZ.e&.3uroU ..-mh a meh flowmetoz att.achad xth plastic facemask and Statham differ-ential strain gaige (Model PM 97). Volume was calculated by electcl integra-tion of the flow signal %ith integrator (Sanborn Model 350-370OA). Pressure inthe bodyplethysmograph, i.e., pressure applied around the chest of ' guinea pig,was measured with Statham differential strain gaige (Model PM t0.5). Bodyple-thysmograph was connected to a oscillating pump which can supply s tnewavc pressurechange of 18 C/S. These signals were amplified with Sanborn Carrior Amplifiers(Model 350-1OOB) and recorded on direct recording sistems (Sanborn Model 9641) ordisplayed on C.R.O. (Sanborn 569B Visoscope). Pulmonary complione.ce an-! y;!_,onaryresistance were calculated on recorded tracings following Neergard and irzinmethod. Total flow resistance was read by loops of flow and bodyplethytmographpressure displayed on C.R.O. which were photographed ,-- Sanborn care.tr' followingMead's oscillating method modified by Swann, st. al., as described this semi-arual report.

Minuze volume, work of respiration, frequency of respiration and ratio ofexpiriunm to inspirium were calculated on the recorded tracings. In some expari-ments we mearared approximate changes in chest volume using a pneumogre.ph a-roundthe lower thorax.

After recovered from el.ther ansthesia, aerosols of histamine or acetylcholinesolutions was inhaled to a guinea pig for 3 minutes. The concentration of inhaledsolutions were doubled serially, ranging from 0.16 to 20.OmK/ml of histamine andfrom 2.5 to 80.0 mg/al of acetylcholine. Measurements were car.ried out immediate-ly after the inhalation. In case pulmonary compliance decreased after a inhala-tiov, the next inhalation was postponed untill compliance value returned to thestandard value.

.- SU9LTS AND DISCUSSION

fig. II shOWS Changeae in( aMoneary oMpliance,(CL)pulmonary resistance,(RP)total roep~ratory resistance, A)irk of breathing, respiratory frequency, minutevolume. ratio of expirium to xpirium for various concentration rf inhaled hista-mine. . RL and 'I TIncreaed abruptly with histamine inhalation at the time of shock as much as twicethe control valus, while they presented no definite tendency ihange, fluctuatingwound the control values, until shock occured. Though animals presented dyspneicappearance by increasing dose of inhaled histamine, there was dound frequently no&efinite increase of resistance, both pulmonary and total. Guinea pigs died some-times in shock when the resistances increased as to double of control value.Pulmonary compliance began to decrease on inhalation of histamine with the concan-tration around one sixteenth of shock concentration. Beyound this concentrationalmost linear relationship was found between CL and logarythm of histamine concen-tratio r. Since compliance beean to decrease earlier than other measures, it isconsidered to be giod measurement to represent pulmonary sensitivity to inhaledhistamine.

Work of reapiration increased gradually in proportion to decrease of CL. and0Increase of R.L Though minute volume was kept constant in spite of increasing con-e49tration of inhaled histamine, it began to decrease at the inhalation of shock

ol of that. It is considered that decrease of minute volume or increase of workof respiration is appropriate to represent dyspnea of experimental asthma, thoughfurther comparative work will be needed to clarify the relation between dyspneaand changes of pulmonary functions during the asthmatic attacks of human.

Frequency of respiration changed in preportion to the changes of time con-stant, e.i., product of CL and RL- It was maximam at the concentration of I orof shook dose, and began to decrease in accordance to the abrupt increase of R.

Ratio Exp/Inep increased remarkably at shock, which has been used as a index ofexperimental asthma.

Though among the measures observed, pulmonary compliance showed the most con-sistent change for increasing dose of inhaled histamine, its measurement needs tomeasure the intrapleural pressure the procedure of which hurt animals and conse-quently on lon-tars experiments CL with this method can not adopted for succesivemeasureme:t with relative long intervals. In this respect total flow resistancemeasu-emcnt is considered to most appropriate to express experimental asthma,since it increases at shock as definitely as easy to detect and is suitable to beused on long-term follow-up study because it dose not hurt animals. While RLpresent the same change as RL, it can not be used because of the same reason in CL.Other measures such as respiraton frequency and Exp/Insp ratio changed at the nearshock, but their ohanges did not appear difinite enough to be the index of experi-mental asthma comparing to those of RT.

Fig. III shows the change of mechanical yroperties by acetylcholine inhala-tion. The methods and presentations are identical to those on histamine inhala-tion. The results obtained on acetylcholine inhalation were almost similar tothose on histamine, though an impression was given that resistance began to in-crease earlier than in histamine inhalations. Resistance began to increase onacetylcholine inhalation with half of concentration at shook. This result mightsuggest that in experimental asthma of guinea pigs acetylcholine cause constractionof the bronchi more easily than histamine do.

The concentration at shock ranged fromflomg toftmg with the mean of f33 inAch and ranged from2O mg to 5 ug with the mean of /4. in histamine. The ratio ofmear ach concentration to the mean histam ne concentration was aboutlOsL. Thisratio was identical to that .observ in asthat patients which bronchial sensi-tivity was measured with the mniml 6ois to oem 10 percent decrease of FEV 1.0.This finding was interesting to suggest that pharmacological effects of histamineand ach might be similar in the lung of human and guinea pig.

Fig. IV shows changes in chest volume, compliance and resistance in relationto the concentration of inhaled ash. Sometimes resistance decreased temporarilyon inhalation at i or i of the concentration at shock during the course of in-creasing concentration. In order to understand this phenomenon, as speculationwas proposed that this decrease in resistance might come from oompensairy in-crease in lung volume since resistance decreases in large lung volume.+/ Contraryto the speculation, no increase in chest volume was observed on the inhalation inwhich resistance decreased. In this connection Nadel stated in experiment withcats with histamine L.jeotion that the increase in pleural pressure and decreasein complianc will tend to dilate airway and this may account for the decrer.se inresistance.2 / Further study will be needed to clarify these problems.

Vig. V showed correlation between pulmonary oonductance(/R) and total con-ductor (1/PT. Correlation coefficients were 0.64 in hist. and 0.69 in ach. bothwere statistically I significant at the level of 1%. This results suggest thatmeasurement of RT could be used for that of RL-

SUWARY

Change of mechanical properties of the lung of guinea pigo was studied in re-lation to dose of administered histamine and acetylcholine. Total flow resistanceand pulmonary resistance increased abruptly at the time of shock as much as twiceof the control value, while pulmonary compliance began to decrease on inhalationwith the concentration around one sixteenth of shock concentration and thdre.teralmost linear relationship was found between pulmonary compliance and logarythmof histamine or acetyloholine concentration. Since the measurement of pulmonaryresistance and compliance required intrapleural pressure and this procedure hurtsanimals, measurement of total respiratory resistance is considered to be appropri-ate co express experimental asthma in long-term studies.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Piq I and III show bronchial sensitivity to histamine before and after sulfurdioxide exposure. The mean Hi of f ,.' guinea pigs was: 3ZxrgJ/m before the expo sureand after the first one hour exrosure the mean H was 4mxJm! and after the sixdaily consecutive exposures the mean 91 was 10mrg/ml, whereas the mean H of f'.-.controls were3$)4,61 , and 90 m/ml at each coresponding occasions. The change ofHlafter sulfur dioxide exrosure was not statistically significant comparing tot at of control group. The mean Ei ofe. . guinea pigs was 3.15mg/rI before the ex-posure and after the first one hour exposure the mean H was 3.46n /m.lar.d after thesix daily consecutive exposures the mean 11 was 7.(,2.mg/?@ whereas the mean HE of

oi . controls were 3.1, 3.22 ant. 66mg/el at each, corresponding occasions. Thechange of H after the exposure was not statistically significaut comparing to thatof control group.

These results showed that exposure of sulfur dioxide did not influence bron-chial sensitivity to histamine in guinea pigs, taking th apparent increase oftotal respiratory resistance as a index o experimental asthma. They ooincided theresu]ts reported in our previous report. 2 ) As described in our previous report,the polluted atmosphere of the Tokyo-Yokohama area increases the incidence of re-spirsto.y syri:)tors such as coughing, apatum production, tlhzoat irritation andpulmonary function disturbances, while there was no increased incidence of airwayobstructive disoases.l)4) It is considered from the results obtained in this studythat Larpollution including sulfur dioxide mlght have little part in the ethiolo~rof bronchial asthma, though it causes symptoms in asthmatic patients as shown inthe following section of this report.

%bo inflnce of sulfur dioxide exposure to xperimentvl asthma was euiedin guinoa pis, measuring bronchial sensitivity to histwrine by the .a.-wsg of totalvespiratory resistance.

Awaording to thoe results, the influence of sulfur diox~d exposureto e remzental sath-a was studied in guinsa pigs, nasuring bronchial snsitivitytO histamine by the change of total respiratory resistance. However, n significantshanme o bronchial sensitivity to histamine was observed amng tUme aoipa exposed.Th. results give us an ipression that the air-pollution" might be one of the aggra-vatig factors of bronchial astlaa but have little role in the etiology.

Asthmatic patients showa increased sensitivity to sulfur dioxide at'5, 13, 20 ppm in the air during the period of three and six minutes inhalationwhile no change wg -ccn.ized -+ 13 ppu" in the group of normal subjects. Acorrelation between daily variation of airway resistance and daily changes of theatinsplwric content of sulfur dioxid was noted in Mtastheatic subject.

P41P. In experimental asthma, change of mehanical properties of the lungof guinea pigs was studied in relation to dose of administered histamne and

aceyloolie.Total flow resistance and pulmnary resistance increased abruptlyot the tim of shock as much as twice of the control value, while pulmonary corn-liance began to decrease on TiAltion'with the *oncentration around one sixteenthof shock concentration and therafter alIiost lnar relationship waa found betweenpulmonary compliance and logarithm of histamine or acetylcholine concentration. )
