Comparison between mainstream (Capnostat 5) and a low-flow sidestream capnometer (Capnostream) in mechanically ventilated,sevoflurane-anesthetized rabbits using a Bain coaxial delivery system

ObjectiveTo evaluate agreement between end-tidal carbon dioxide (Pe′CO₂) and PaCO₂ with sidestream and mainstream capnometers in mechanically ventilated anesthetized rabbits, with two ventilatory strategies.Study designProspective experimental study.AnimalsA total of 10 New Zealand White rabbits weighing 3.6 ± 0.3 kg (mean ± standard deviation).MethodsRabbits anesthetized with sevoflurane were intubated with an uncuffed endotracheal tube (3.0 mm internal diameter) and adequate seal. For Pe′CO₂, the sidestream capnometer sampling adapter or the mainstream capnometer was placed between the endotracheal tube and Bain breathing system (1.5 L minute^–1 oxygen). PaCO₂ was obtained from arterial blood collected every 5 minutes. A time-cycled ventilator delivered an inspiratory time of 1 second and 12 or 20 breaths minute^–1. Peak inspiratory pressure was initially set to achieve Pe′CO₂ normocapnia of 35–45 mmHg (4.6–6.0 kPa). A total of five paired Pe′CO₂ and PaCO₂ measurements were obtained with each ventilation mode for each capnometer. Anesthetic episodes were separated by 7 days. Agreement was assessed using Bland-Altman analysis and linear mixed models; p < 0.05.ResultsThere were 90 and 83 pairs for the mainstream and sidestream capnometers, respectively. The mainstream capnometer underestimated PaCO₂ by 12.6 ± 2.9 mmHg (proportional bias 0.44 ± 0.06 mmHg per 1 mmHg PaCO₂ increase). With the sidestream capnometer, ventilation mode had a significant effect on Pe′CO₂. At 12 breaths minute^–1, Pe′CO₂ underestimated PaCO₂ by 23.9 ± 8.2 mmHg (proportional bias: 0.81 ± 0.18 mmHg per 1 mmHg PaCO₂ increase). At 20 breaths minute^–1, Pe′CO₂ underestimated PaCO₂ by 38.8 ± 5.0 mmHg (proportional bias 1.13 ± 0.10 mmHg per 1 mmHg PaCO₂ increase).Conclusions and clinical relevanceBoth capnometers underestimated PaCO₂. The sidestream capnometer underestimated PaCO₂ more than the mainstream capnometer, and was affected by ventilation mode.

胞外多聚物在污泥颗粒化过程中的作用研究

本文研究了胞外多聚物(ECP)在污泥颗粒化过程中的作用。试验采用小试UASB反应器,以人工葡萄糖配水作为进料。测定结果表明,在颗粒污泥培养过程中,随着颗粒污泥的形成、生长和成熟,污泥ECP含量逐渐下降,从开始的6.36减小到30mg/gVSS。当反应器酸化、污泥性能变差或运行不稳定时,ECP含量则表现为急剧上升,达70mg/gVSS。这些结果说明污泥颗粒化过程中ECP所起的作用不大。对有关ECP的影响及作用机理,以及污泥颗粒化机制,文章进行了分析讨论。

不同生物预处理方式对污泥厌氧消化过程性能的影响

利用微生物处理技术对经聚丙烯酰胺脱水后的污泥进行不同方式微生物预处理,研究进料总固体(TS)质量分数为3%、发酵温度为35℃时厌氧消化过程中累积产气量与产甲烷含量、p H值、氨氮和化学需氧量(TCOD)等参数的变化趋势,探索真菌宛氏拟青霉不同预处理方式对脱水污泥厌氧消化过程特性的影响。试验结果表明:微生物预处理脱水污泥厌氧消化技术具有较好的可行性。直接添加宛氏拟青霉和添加宛氏拟青霉预处理2 d的污泥进行厌氧消化反应能够有效提高产气量和产甲烷量,加快水解速率,促进污泥中有机物的有效降解,使产甲烷过程顺利进行。直接添加宛氏拟青霉处理的产甲烷效果最优,其净累积产气量和产甲烷量较纯污泥分别提高85.79%和42.76%,且1 kg污泥可产甲烷12.69 L,较纯污泥提高42.74%。     

La3+,Ce3+对厌氧颗粒污泥在不同VFA底物中的产甲烷促进效应

采用静态实验研究了分别添加O.05mg·L^-1La^3＋和Ce^3＋对不同来源和保存状况条件下不同VFA底物的厌氧颗粒污泥产甲烷的影响。结果表明，乙酸为底物时加入Ce^3＋，丙酸加入La^3＋或Ce^3＋，乳酸加入La^3＋时都大大加快了反应初期污泥的产甲烷速率，且对比产甲烷活性SMA也有3％-8％的提高；O.05mg·L^-1La^3＋或Ce^3＋的加入使污泥利用丙酸的速度加快，对于厌氧反应器的恢复运行有一定的实际意义。甲酸为底物时，La^3＋，Ce^3＋的加入对污泥产甲烷曲线形状没有影响，对SMA则分别降低了9.21％和3.37％；乙酸添加La^3＋在反应初期明显降低了产甲烷速率，但SMA并未降低。厌氧颗粒污泥经长时间低温存放后，原来对其SMA有提高作用的稀土浓度此时可能会作用不明显甚至会降低SMA；低浓度稀土离子对污泥产甲烷活性产生抑制作用时，相同质量浓度下Ce^3＋比La^3＋对污泥的抑制作用小；驯化培养过程有利于污泥对稀土的适应。
