Jensen JSK, Jørgensen IH, Buus NH, Jensen JD, Peters CD. Hemodynamic effects of low versus high dialysate bicarbonate concentration in hemodialysis patients. Hemodial Int 2024; 28:290-303. [PMID: 38803230 DOI: 10.1111/hdi.13162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hemodialysis treatment using standard dialysate bicarbonate concentrations cause transient metabolic alkalosis possibly associated with hemodynamic instability. The aim of this study was to perform a detailed comparison of high and low dialysate bicarbonate in terms of blood pressure, intradialytic hemodynamic parameters, orthostatic blood pressure, and electrolytes. METHODS Fifteen hemodialysis patients were examined in a single-blind, randomized, controlled, crossover study. Participants underwent a 4-h hemodialysis session with dialysate bicarbonate concentration of 30 or 38 mmol/L with 1 week between interventions. Blood pressure was monitored throughout hemodialysis, while cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, stroke volume, and central blood volume were assessed with ultrasound dilution technique (Transonic). Orthostatic blood pressure was measured pre- and post-hemodialysis. FINDINGS With similar ultrafiltration (UF) volume (2.6 L), systolic blood pressure (SBP) tended to decrease more during high dialysate bicarbonate compared to low dialysate bicarbonate; the mean (95% confidence interval) between treatment differences in SBP were: 8 (-4; 20) mmHg (end of hemodialysis) and 7 (0; 15) mmHg (post-hemodialysis). Stroke volume decreased whereas total peripheral resistance increased significantly more during high dialysate bicarbonate compared to low dialysate bicarbonate with mean between treatment differences: Stroke volume: 12 (1; 23) mL; Total peripheral resistance: -2.9 (-5.3; -0.5) mmHg/(L/min). Cardiac output tended to decrease more with high dialysate bicarbonate compared to low dialysate bicarbonate with mean between treatment difference 0.7 (0.0; 1.4) L/min. High dialysate bicarbonate caused alkalosis, hypocalcemia, and lower plasma potassium, whereas patients remained normocalcemic with normal pH during low dialysate bicarbonate. Orthostatic blood pressure response after dialysis did not differ significantly. DISCUSSION The use of high dialysate bicarbonate compared to low dialysate bicarbonate was associated with hypocalcemia, alkalosis, and a more pronounced hypokalemia. During hemodialysis with UF, a better preservation of blood pressure, stroke volume, and cardiac output may be achieved with low dialysate bicarbonate compared to high dialysate bicarbonate.

Quantitative Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Estimating Intra-renal Oxygen Availability Demonstrates Kidneys Are Hypoxemic in Human CKD. Kidney Int Rep 2023; 8:1057-1067. [PMID: 37180507 PMCID: PMC10166744 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2023.02.1092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Kidney blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown great promise in evaluating relative oxygen availability. This method is quite efficacious in evaluating acute responses to physiological and pharmacologic maneuvers. Its outcome parameter, R2∗ is defined as the apparent spin-spin relaxation rate measured in the presence of magnetic susceptibility differences and it is measured using gradient echo MRI. Although associations between R2∗ and renal function decline have been described, it remains uncertain to what extent R2∗ is a true reflection of tissue oxygenation. This is primarily because of not taking into account the confounding factors, especially fractional blood volume (fBV) in tissue. Methods This case-control study included 7 healthy controls and 6 patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Using data before and after administration of ferumoxytol, a blood pool MRI contrast media, the fBVs in kidney cortex and medulla were measured. Results This pilot study independently measured fBV in kidney cortex (0.23 ± 0.03 vs. 0.17 ± 0.03) and medulla (0.36 ± 0.08 vs. 0.25 ± 0.03) in a small number of healthy controls (n = 7) versus CKD (n = 6). These were then combined with BOLD MRI measurements to estimate oxygen saturation of hemoglobin (StO2) (0.87 ± 0.03 vs. 0.72 ± 0.10 in cortex; 0.82 ± 0.05 vs. 0.72 ± 0.06 in medulla) and partial pressure of oxygen in blood (bloodPO2) (55.4 ± 6.5 vs. 38.4 ± 7.6 mm Hg in cortex; 48.4 ± 6.2 vs. 38.1 ± 4.5 mm Hg in medulla) in control versus CKD. The results for the first time demonstrate that cortex is normoxemic in controls and moderately hypoxemic in CKD. In the medulla, it is mildly hypoxemic in controls and moderately hypoxemic in CKD. Whereas fBV, StO2, and bloodPO2 were strongly associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), R2∗ was not. Conclusion Our results support the feasibility of quantitatively assessing oxygen availability using noninvasive quantitative BOLD MRI that could be translated to the clinic.

A Pharmacometrics Model to Characterize a New Type of Target-Mediated Drug Disposition (TMDD) - Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics of Small-Molecule PF-07059013 Mediated By Its High-capacity Pharmacological Target Hemoglobin With Positive Cooperative Binding. AAPS J 2023; 25:41.

Abstract
In general, small-molecule target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) is caused by the interaction of a drug with its high-affinity, low-capacity pharmacological target. In the current work, we developed a pharmacometrics model to characterize a new type of TMDD, where the nonlinear pharmacokinetics (PK) is mediated by a high-capacity pharmacological target with cooperative binding instead of target saturation. The model drug we used was PF-07059013, a noncovalent hemoglobin modulator that demonstrated promising preclinical efficacy to treat sickle cell disease (SCD), and showed complex nonlinear PK in mice with the fraction of unbound drug in blood (fub) decreased with an increase in PF-07059013 concentrations/doses due to the positive cooperative binding of PF-07059013 to hemoglobin. Among the various models we evaluated, the best one is a semi-mechanistic model where only drug molecules not bound to hemoglobin were allowed for elimination, with the nonlinear pharmacokinetics being captured by incorporating cooperative binding for drug molecules bound to hemoglobin. Our final model provided valuable insight on target binding-related parameters, such as the Hill coefficient γ (estimated to be 1.6), binding constant KH (estimated to be 1450 µM), and the amount of total hemoglobin Rtot (estimated to be 2.13 µmol). As the dose selection of a compound with positive cooperative binding is tricky and challenging due to the nonproportional and steep response, our model may be valuable in facilitating the rational dose regimen selection for future preclinical animal and clinical trials for PF-07059013 and other compounds whose nonlinear pharmacokinetics are caused by similar mechanisms.

Effects of Restricted Availability of Drinking Water on Blood Characteristics and Constituents in Dorper, Katahdin, and St. Croix Sheep from Different Regions of the USA. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12223167. [PMID: 36428395 PMCID: PMC9686939 DOI: 10.3390/ani12223167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Different hair sheep breeds originated from diverse climatic regions of the USA may show varying adaptability to water deprivation. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the effects of restricted availability of drinking water on blood characteristics and constituent concentrations in different breeds of hair sheep from various regions the USA. For this study, 45 Dorper (initial age = 3.7 ± 0.34 yr), 45 Katahdin (3.9 ± 0.36 yr), and 44 St. Croix (2.7 ± 0.29 yr) sheep from 45 farms in 4 regions of the USA (Midwest, Northwest, Southeast, and central Texas) were used. Ad libitum water intake was determined during wk 2 of period one, with 75% of ad libitum water intake offered during wk 2 of period two, and 50% of ad libitum water intake offered for 5 wk (i.e., wk 5−9) in period three. Water was offered at 07:00 or 07:30 h, with blood samples collected at 08:00 and(or) 14:00 h in wk 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 9 for variables such as hemoglobin and oxygen saturation and wk 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9 for concentrations of glucose and other constituents. The blood oxygen concentration at 08:00 h was 4.86, 4.93, and 5.25 mmol/L in period one and 4.89, 4.81, and 5.74 mmol/L in period three for Dorper, Katahdin, and St. Croix, respectively (SEM = 0.160; p = 0.001). Blood oxygen at 14:00 h was 4.37, 4.61, and 4.74 mmol/L in period one and 4.66, 4.81, and 5.46 mmol/L in period three for Dorper, Katahdin, and St. Croix, respectively (SEM = 0.154; p = 0.003). St. Croix were able to maintain a higher (p < 0.001) blood oxygen concentration than Dorper and Katahdin regardless of water availability. The pattern of change in blood concentrations with advancing time varied considerably among constituents. However, concentrations of glucose (55.3 and 56.2 mg/dL; SEM = 0.84), lactate (24.1 and 22.5 mg/dL; SEM = 0.79), total protein (7.08 and 7.17 g/dL; SEM = 0.0781), and albumin (2.59 and 2.65 g/dL in wk 2 and 9, respectively; SEM = 0.029) were similar (p > 0.05) between periods one and three. Conversely, concentrations of cholesterol (56.2 and 69.3 mg/dL; SEM = 1.33) and triglycerides (28.6 and 34.5 mg/dL in wk 2 and 9, respectively; SEM = 0.98) were greater (p < 0.05) in period three vs. 1. In conclusion, water restriction altered almost all the blood variables depending upon severity and duration of restriction, but the hair sheep breeds used from different regions of the USA, especially St. Croix, displayed considerable capacity to adapt to limited drinking water availability.

Abstract
The application of perfluorocarbons, which can carry large quantities of oxygen, in organ preservation was limited by their poor solubility in water. A stable form of perfluorocarbon dispersed in suitable buffers is urgently needed. Perfluorocarbon emulsion was designed and characterized with respect to size distribution, rheology, stability, and oxygen-carrying capacity. The state of DCD rat donor livers preserved by the oxygenated perfluorocarbon emulsion was studied after ex vivo reperfusion by using biochemistry, pathology, and immunohistochemistry methods. Perfluorocarbon emulsion was successfully prepared by high-pressure homogenization. Optimized perfluorocarbon emulsion showed nanoscale size distribution, good stability, and higher oxygen loading capacity than that of HTK solution or water. The state of preserved livers after cardiac death rat liver was improved significantly after static cold storage for 48 hours in this oxygenated perfluorocarbon emulsion. The ATP content and down-regulation of HIF-1a expression after preservation of the liver graft by the oxygenated perfluorocarbon emulsion suggested the advantage of adequate oxygen supply for adequate time. This perfluorocarbon emulsion reported here might be considered a promising system for oxygenated donor liver storage by attenuation of hypoxia.

Abstract
I describe a kinesthetic activity about oxygen handling by hemoglobin with two specific goals: 1) to help students gain a better understanding of how hemoglobin properties affect oxygen delivery and 2) to improve the ability of the students to actually read the hemoglobin oxygen-binding curve. The activity makes understanding oxygen delivery more intuitive, provides a kinesthetic analog to delivery of oxygen, and provides data to plot for the hemoglobin-oxygen curve.

Abstract
The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve describes the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen and the percent of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen and varies with chemical and physical factors that differ for every patient. If variability could be determined, patient-specific oxygen therapy could be administered. We have developed a procedure for characterizing variations in the oxygen dissociation curve. The purpose of this study was to validate this procedure in surgical patients. The procedure uses an automated system to alter oxygen therapy during surgery, within safe operational levels, and fit to Hill's equation non-invasive measurements of end-tidal oxygen and peripheral pulse oxygen saturation. The best-fit parameters for the Hill equation, estimated by iterative least squares, provide an apparent dissociation curve, meaningful of the patient-specific pulse oximeter response. Thirty-nine patients participated in this study. Using patient-specific parameter values increases correlation when compared with standard values. The procedure improved the model fit of patient saturation values significantly in 19 patients. This paper has demonstrated a procedure for determining patient-specific pulse oximeter response. This procedure determined best-fit parameters resulting in a significantly improved fit when compared with standard values. These best-fit parameters increased the coefficient of determination R2 in all cases. Graphical Abstract This patient-specific procedure improves fit significantly compared to standard estimates.

Abstract
Conventional storage conditions of erythrocytes cause storage lesions. We propose that hypoxic storage conditions, involving removal of oxygen and replacement with helium, the changes in stored erythrocytes under hypoxic condition were observed and assessed. Erythrocytes were divided into two equal parts, then stored in conventional and hypoxic conditions, separately. Blood gas analysis, hemorheology, and hemolysis were performed once a week. Energy metabolism and membrane damage were monitored by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Phosphatidylserine exposure was measured by flow cytometry. P50 was measured and the oxygen dissociation curve (ODC) plotted accordingly. Erythrocyte morphology was observed microscopically. In the 9th week of storage, the hemolysis of the hypoxia group was 0.7%; lower (p < .05) than that of the control group and still below the threshold of quality requirements. The dissolved oxygen and pO2 were only 1/4 of that in the control group (p < .01); the adenosine triphosphate, glucose, and lactic acid levels were decreased (p < .05), while the 2,3-diphosphoglycerate levels were increased relative to that in the control group (p < .01). There were no statistically significant differences in membrane damage, deformability, and aggregation between the two groups. In addition, the ODC of the two groups was shifted to the left but this difference was not statistically different. Basically similar to the effect of completely anaerobic conditions. Erythrocytes stored under hypoxic conditions could maintain a relatively stable state with a significant decrease in hemolysis, reduction of storage lesions, and an increase in shelf-life.

Abstract
Hypoxia, a prevalent characteristic of most solid malignant tumors, contributes to diminished therapeutic responses and more aggressive phenotypes. The term hypoxia has two definitions. One definition would be a physiologic state where the oxygen partial pressure is below the normal physiologic range. For most normal tissues, the normal physiologic range is between 10 and 20 mmHg. Hypoxic regions develop when there is an imbalance between oxygen supply and demand. The impact of hypoxia on cancer therapeutics is significant: hypoxic tissue is 3× less radiosensitive than normoxic tissue, the impaired blood flow found in hypoxic tumor regions influences chemotherapy delivery, and the immune system is dependent on oxygen for functionality. Despite the clinical implications of hypoxia, there is not a universal, ideal method for quantifying hypoxia, particularly cycling hypoxia because of its complexity and heterogeneity across tumor types and individuals. Most standard imaging techniques can be modified and applied to measuring hypoxia and quantifying its effects; however, the benefits and challenges of each imaging modality makes imaging hypoxia case-dependent. In this chapter, a comprehensive overview of the preclinical and clinical methods for quantifying hypoxia is presented along with the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Abstract
SummaryBackground: Lung microangiopathy is a little known negative influence of diabetes mellitus on the functioning of the lungs. In current medical practice lung microangiopathy is diagnosed by comparing two measurements of lung diffusing capacity – once with the subject standing and once with the subject lying down. The necessity to take two measurements is inconvenient.Objectives: The aim of this study is to design a supportive method for diagnosing lung microangiopathy. This will be based on routinely performed pulmonary measurements as well as on investigation of process modelling and data processing.Methods: A model of the diffusion of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood has been described with a set of differential equations. The idea of the proposed model is based on the physiological analysis of the oxygen flow (caused by a concentration gradient) and on general knowledge regarding the kinetics of associating oxygen with haemoglobin. The model parameters are estimated using diffusing capacity and alveolar volume measurements – routinely performed in pulmonary tests.Results: The model parameter estimates proved good candidates for the binary classification of the presence or absence of micro-angiopathy. The proposed classification procedure, based on parameter values and established diagnostic thresholds, gives sensitivity Sens = 79.34% and specificity Spec = 87.08%. The results of classification with the use of diffusing capacity measurement are worse: Sens = 62.12% and Spec = 79.89%.Conclusions: The proposed classification procedure is based on the model parameters. These have proved to be sensitive indicators of lung microangiopathy. Close to 80% of micro-angiopathy cases have been classified as such. Less than 20% were false alarms. The oxygen pathway model allows for simulations. Blood saturation and oxygen partial pressure have been simulated for the organism’s various needs for oxygen, both for the normal and the impaired alveoli-capillary barrier.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This pilot study focuses on regional tissue oxygenation (rSO2) in patients with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in a perioperative setting. To investigate the influence of enhanced metabolic alkalosis (MA) on cerebral (c-rSO2) and renal (r-rSO2) tissue oxygenation, two-site near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology was applied. MATERIALS AND METHODS Perioperative c-rSO2, r-rSO2, capillary blood gases, and electrolytes from 12 infants were retrospectively compared before and after correction of MA at admission (T1), before surgery (T2), and after surgery (T3). RESULTS Correction of MA was associated with an alteration of cerebral oxygenation without affecting renal oxygenation. When compared to T1, 5-min mean (± standard deviation) c-rSO2 increased after correction of MA at T2 (72.74 ± 4.60% versus 77.89 ± 5.84%; P = 0.058), reaching significance at T3 (80.79 ± 5.29%; P = 0.003). Furthermore, relative 30-min c-rSO2 values at first 3 h of metabolic compensation were significantly lowered compared with postsurgical states at 16 and 24 h. Cerebral oxygenation was positively correlated with levels of sodium (r = 0.37; P = 0.03) and inversely correlated with levels of bicarbonate (r = -0.34; P = 0.05) and base excess (r = -0.36; P = 0.04). Analysis of preoperative and postoperative cerebral and renal hypoxic burden yielded no differences. However, a negative correlation (r = -0.40; P = 0.03) regarding hematocrite and mean r-rSO2, indirectly indicative of an increased renal blood flow under hemodilution, was obtained. CONCLUSIONS NIRS seems suitable for the detection of a transiently impaired cerebral oxygenation under state of pronounced MA in infants with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Correction of MA led to normalization of c-rSO2. NIRS technology constitutes a promising tool for optimizing perioperative management, especially in the context of a possible diminished neurodevelopmental outcome after pyloromyotomy.

Abstract
Eu(II) -based contrast agents offer physiologically relevant, metal-based redox sensing that is unachievable with Gd(III) -based contrast agents. To evaluate the in vivo contrast enhancement of Eu(II) as a function of injection type, we performed intravenous, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous injections in mice. Our data reveal a correlation between reported oxygen content and expected rates of diffusion with the persistence of Eu(II) -based contrast enhancement. Biodistribution studies revealed europium clearance through the liver and kidneys for intravenous and intraperitoneal injections, but no contrast enhancement was observed in organs associated with clearance. These data represent a step toward understanding the behavior of Eu(II) -based complexes in vivo. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
Adequate function of the retina is dependent on proper oxygen supply. In humans, the inner retina is oxygenated via the retinal circulation. We present a method to calculate total retinal oxygen extraction based on measurement of total retinal blood flow using dual-beam bidirectional Doppler optical coherence tomography and measurement of oxygen saturation by spectrophotometry. These measurements were done on 8 healthy subjects while breathing ambient room air and 100% oxygen. Total retinal blood flow was 44.3 ± 9.0 μl/min during baseline and decreased to 18.7 ± 4.2 μl/min during 100% oxygen breathing (P < 0.001) resulting in a pronounced decrease in retinal oxygen extraction from 2.33 ± 0.51 μl(O2)/min to 0.88 ± 0.14 μl(O2)/min during breathing of 100% oxygen. The method presented in this paper may have significant potential to study oxygen metabolism in hypoxic retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract
The Eu(II) ion rivals Gd(III) in its ability to enhance contrast in magnetic resonance imaging. However, all reported Eu(II)-based complexes have been studied in vitro largely because the tendency of Eu(II) to oxidize to Eu(III) has been viewed as a major obstacle to in vivo imaging. Herein, we present solid- and solution-phase characterization of a Eu(II)-containing cryptate and the first in vivo use of Eu(II) to provide contrast enhancement. The results indicate that between one and two water molecules are coordinated to the Eu(II) core upon dissolution. We also demonstrate that Eu(II)-based contrast enhancement can be observed for hours in a mouse.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Most solid tumors contain regions of low oxygenation or hypoxia. Tumor hypoxia has been associated with a poor clinical outcome and plays a critical role in tumor radioresistance. RECENT ADVANCES Two main types of hypoxia exist in the tumor microenvironment: chronic and cycling hypoxia. Chronic hypoxia results from the limited diffusion distance of oxygen, and cycling hypoxia primarily results from the variation in microvessel red blood cell flux and temporary disturbances in perfusion. Chronic hypoxia may cause either tumor progression or regressive effects depending on the tumor model. However, there is a general trend toward the development of a more aggressive phenotype after cycling hypoxia. With advanced hypoxia imaging techniques, spatiotemporal characteristics of tumor hypoxia and the changes to the tumor microenvironment can be analyzed. CRITICAL ISSUES In this review, we focus on the biological and clinical consequences of chronic and cycling hypoxia on radiation treatment. We also discuss the advanced non-invasive imaging techniques that have been developed to detect and monitor tumor hypoxia in preclinical and clinical studies. FUTURE DIRECTIONS A better understanding of the mechanisms of tumor hypoxia with non-invasive imaging will provide a basis for improved radiation therapeutic practices.

Abstract
Blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) MRI data of kidney, while indicative of tissue oxygenation level (Po2), is in fact influenced by multiple confounding factors, such as R2, perfusion, oxygen permeability, and hematocrit. We aim to explore the feasibility of extracting tissue Po2 from renal BOLD data. A method of two steps was proposed: first, a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate blood oxygen saturation (SHb) from BOLD signals, and second, an oxygen transit model to convert SHb to tissue Po2. The proposed method was calibrated and validated with 20 pigs (12 before and after furosemide injection) in which BOLD-derived tissue Po2 was compared with microprobe-measured values. The method was then applied to nine healthy human subjects (age: 25.7 ± 3.0 yr) in whom BOLD was performed before and after furosemide. For the 12 pigs before furosemide injection, the proposed model estimated renal tissue Po2 with errors of 2.3 ± 5.2 mmHg (5.8 ± 13.4%) in cortex and -0.1 ± 4.5 mmHg (1.7 ± 18.1%) in medulla, compared with microprobe measurements. After injection of furosemide, the estimation errors were 6.9 ± 3.9 mmHg (14.2 ± 8.4%) for cortex and 2.6 ± 4.0 mmHg (7.7 ± 11.5%) for medulla. In the human subjects, BOLD-derived medullary Po2 increased from 16.0 ± 4.9 mmHg (SHb: 31 ± 11%) at baseline to 26.2 ± 3.1 mmHg (SHb: 53 ± 6%) at 5 min after furosemide injection, while cortical Po2 did not change significantly at ∼58 mmHg (SHb: 92 ± 1%). Our proposed method, validated with a porcine model, appears promising for estimating tissue Po2 from renal BOLD MRI data in human subjects.

A Validated Cfd Model to Predict O2 and Co2 Transfer Within Hollow Fiber Membrane Oxygenators. Int J Artif Organs 2011; 34:317-25.

Abstract
Hollow fiber oxygenators provide gas exchange to and from the blood during heart surgery or lung recovery. Minimal fiber surface area and optimal gas exchange rate may be achieved by optimization of hollow fiber shape and orientation (1). In this study, a modified CFD model is developed and validated with a specially developed micro membrane oxygenator (MicroMox). The MicroMox was designed in such a way that fiber arrangement and bundle geometry are highly reproducible and potential flow channeling is avoided, which is important for the validation. Its small size (VFluid=0.04 mL) allows the simulation of the entire bundle of 120 fibers. A non-Newtonian blood model was used as simulation fluid. Physical solubility and chemical bond of O2 and CO2 in blood was represented by the numerical model. Constant oxygen partial pressure at the pores of the fibers and a steady state flow field was used to calculate the mass transport. In order to resolve the entire MicroMox fiber bundle, the mass transport was simulated for symmetric geometry sections in flow direction. In vitro validation was achieved by measurements of the gas transfer rates of the MicroMox. All measurements were performed according to DIN EN 12022 (2) using porcine blood. The numerical simulation of the mass transfer showed good agreement with the experimental data for different mass flows and constant inlet partial pressures. Good agreement could be achieved for two different fiber configurations. Thus, it was possible to establish a validated model for the prediction of gas exchange in hollow fiber oxygenators.

Abstract
Tetrapyrrole molecules are distributed in virtually all living organisms on Earth. In mammals, tetrapyrrole end products are closely linked to oxygen metabolism. Since increasingly complex trophic functional systems for using oxygen are considered in the post-traumatic inflammatory response, it can be suggested that tetrapyrrole molecules and, particularly their derived pigments, play a key role in modulating inflammation. In this way, the diverse colorfulness that the inflammatory response triggers during its evolution would reflect the major pathophysiological importance of these pigments in each one of its phases. Therefore, the need of exploiting this color resource could be considered for both the diagnosis and treatment of the inflammation.
