    Abstract Ventilation-perfusion matching occurs passively and is also actively regulated through hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). The extent of HPV activity in humans, particularly normal subjects, is uncertain. Current evaluation of HPV assesses changes in ventilation-perfusion relationships/pulmonary vascular resistance with hypoxia and is invasive, or unsuitable for patients because of safety concerns. We used a noninvasive imaging-based approach to quantify the pulmonary vascular response to oxygen as a metric of HPV by measuring perfusion changes between breathing 21% and 30%O

    Abstract Measurement of ventilation heterogeneity with the multiple-breath nitrogen washout (MBW) is usually performed using controlled breathing with a fixed tidal volume and breathing frequency. However, it is unclear whether controlled breathing alters the underlying ventilatory heterogeneity. We hypothesized that the width of the specific ventilation distribution (a measure of heterogeneity) would be greater in tests performed during free breathing compared with those performed using controlled breathing. Eight normal subjects (age range = 23-50 yr, 5 female/3 male) twice underwent MRI-based specific ventilation imaging consisting of five repeated cycles with the inspired gas switching between 21% and 100% O

    Abstract The effects of a solvent on the conformation of a flexible n-site solute molecule can be described formally in terms of an n-body solvation potential. Given the practical difficulty in computing such multibody potentials, it is common to carry out a pairwise decomposition in which the n-body potential is approximated by a sum of two-body potentials. Here we investigate the validity of this two-site approximation for short interaction-site chain-in-solvent systems. Using exact expressions for the conformation of an isolated chain, we construct a mapping between the full chain-in-solvent system and its solvation potential representation. We present results for both hard-sphere and square-well systems with n=5 that show that the two-site approximation is sufficient to completely capture the effects of an explicit solvent on chain conformation for a wide range of conditions (which include varying the solvent diameter in the hard-sphere system and varying the chain-solvent coupling in the square-well system). In all cases, a set of two-site potentials (one for each distinct site-site pair) is required. We also show that these two-site solvation potentials can be used to accurately compute a multisite intramolecular correlation function.
