Pentastarch is a hydroxyethyl starch similar to hetastarch, but lower average molecular weight and fewer hydroxyethyl groups which result in enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis and faster renal elimination.This report was performed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of 10 % pentastarch[Pentaspan , group I] for plasma volume expansion after open heart surgery with that of 5% albumin[Plasmanate, group II]. There were no statistically significant differences between the group I [n=18] and group II [n:19] in the preoperative parameters [age, sex, body weight] and operative parameters[bypass time, aorta cross clamping time]. During the first 24 hours after arrival of the patient in the surgical intensive care unit, colloid solution [500--1000 ml] was infused to maintain left atrial pressure of more than 8 mmHg, or cardiac index of 2.0 L/min/M2 of more. In results, there were 3 complications of hypotension immediately after infusion of 5 % albumin solution and 2 among the 3 patients were excluded for the study. However there was no complication after infusion of 10 % pentastarch solution. Hemodynamic responses to infusion was similar for both groups, although in group I a greater increase in both left atrial pressure[mean 1.8 versus 0.7 mmHg, p< 0.05] and right atrial pressure [mean 2.2 versus 1.7 mmHg, p < 0.05] was observed during infusion of the first 500 ml. There were no significant differences in any of the measured respiratory parameters[PaO2, intrapulmonary shunt, and effective lung compliance]. Homodilution with colloid significantly reduced hemoglobin [mean 1.2 versus 0.8 gm/dl], and serum protein and albumin level[total protein;4.8$\pm$ 0.5 versus 5.2 $\pm$0.5 gm/dl, p < 0.05: albumin: 3.2 $\pm$0.4 versus 3.6 $\pm$0.6 gm/dl, p < 0.05] by 6:00 AM on 1 day postoperatively, however there were no significant differences on 7 day postoperatively. The mean serum colloid osmotic pressure and osmolarity was similar in both group.There were no abnormal findings of liver function and kidney function in all the patients. There were no significant between-group differences in bleeding time, platelets, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and amount of chest tube output measured on 1st and 7th postoperative day. These findings demonstrated that 10% pentastarch is more effective and safe for plasma volume expension than 5 % albumin solution with no adverse effects on coagulation. Also 10 % pentastarch is less expensive than 5 % albumin and it would appeare to be a reasonable first choice for plasma volume expansion.

Pentastarch is a new synthetic hydroxyethyl starch similar to hetastarch. We report on the clinical comparisons the clinical efficacy and safety of 10% pentastarch in prime solutions for CPB in cardiac operations with that of 20% serum albumin. During CPB, group P [n = 20] received 500ml of 10% pentastarch and group A [n = 20] received 100ml of 20% albumin in prime solutions The postoperative time of ICU stay in group P and the day and amount of chest drain, hospital stay in group A were longer [p<0.05]. Fresh whole blood and PRBC were added only in group A and a higher amount of hartman solution was added in group A during CPB [p<0.05]. Prothrombin time was prolonged preoperatively and 2 days postoperatively in group A and 7 days postoperatively in group P [p<0.05] but there were no significant differences in bleeding time or fibrinogen level. Platelet count was higher immediately postoperatively in group A and preoperatively and 1, 2, and 7 days postoperatively in group P [p<0.05].Total protein and albumin level were higher 1 day postoperatively in group A and 2 and 7 days postoperatively in group P [p<0.05]. BUN was increased 2 days postoperatively in group A and Cr was increased 1 day postoperatively in group P [p<0.05]. CPK was higher preoperatively and 1, 2, and 7 days postoperatively in group A and plasma hemoglobin level was also higher 2 and 7 days postoperatively in group A [p<0.05]. There were no significant differences in arterial blood gas analysis but higher pO2 and lower pCO2 levels were maintained in group P and ejection fraction was higher 7 days postoperatively in group P [p<0.05]. Both groups were improved postoperatively in NYHA class and the hemodynamic parameters such as MAP, CO, CI, SV, LVSWI were well maintained in group P [p<0.05]. The amount of blood products used was higher in group A and urine output was higher immediately postoperatively in group A and 1, 2 days postoperatively in group P and the chest output was higher in group A. The complications were developed in 7 patients in group A and 5 patients in group P and mortality was not present in both groups.In conclusion, 10% pentastarch is as safe and effective as 20% albumin in prime solutions for cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac operations.

배경: 최근 항암제의 전신성 독성을 최소화 하면서 고농도의 항암제를 투여할 수 있는 방법으로서 항암제의 국소 관류 혹은 장기의 분리 관류 방법이 다시 연구되고 있다. 폐암의 항암제로 널리 사용되고 있는 cisplatin 을 사용하여 분리 폐 관류를 시행하였을 때 폐에 미치는 약물학적 및 병리학적 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 25마리의 가토를 I군 10마리, II군 15마리로 나눈다음, 각 군을 다시 5마리씩 2, 3개의 소 군으로 나누어 I군에서는 cisplatin 5 mg/kg을 정맥주사와 분리 폐 관류한 후 30분 경과하였을 때의 폐, 신장 및 혈장 에서의 platinum 농도를 비교하였고, II군의 첫번째 5마리에서는 10% pentastarch 용액만으로 분리 폐 관류 후 30분, 1주일째의 병리학적 변화를 관찰하였으며, II군의 두 번째 5마리에서는 cisplatin 5 mg/kg으로 분리 폐 관류 후 30분, 1주일째, II군의 나머지 5마리에서는 cisplatin분리 폐 관류 후 4주일째의 병리학적 소견을 비교 관찰 하였다. 결과: Cisplatin 5 mg/Kg을 정맥 주입한 군에서 폐와 신장 조직, 혈장에서의 평균 platinum 농도 는 각각 1.50$\pm$0.43 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, 7.65$\pm$2.49 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, 1.19$\pm$0.03 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml로서 신장 조직에서 platinum 농도가 가장 높았으며 (p< 0.05), 폐 조직과 혈장에서는 비슷하였다. 그러나 Cisplatin 5 mg/Kg을 분리 폐 관류한 군에서의 platinum 농도는 폐, 신장, 혈장에서 각각 75.43$\pm$11.47 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, 1.30$\pm$0.35 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, 0.13$\pm$0.02 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml로서 분리 폐 관류 군의 폐 조직에서의 platinum 농도는 정맥주입 군에서 보다 약 50배 가량 높게 측정되었으며, 신장 조직 및 혈장에 서는 현저히 낮게 측정되었다(p< 0.05). 분리 폐 관류 후의 폐 조직의 병리학적 변화는 pentastarch 용액과 cisplatin을 사용한 군 모두에서 비슷한 소견을 나타냈다. 즉, 관류 직후인 30분에는 경미한 간질성 부종 외에 는 비교적 정상적인 소견을 보였으며, 1주일 이상 4주까지에서는 비교적 폐포는 정상적 구조를 유지하면서 부분적으로 소폐동맥 중막의 비후와 간질에 호산구 침윤의 소견이 특징적으로 관찰되었다. 결론: 분리 폐 관류는 정맥주입 방법에 비해 고농도의 cisplatin 투여로 인한 다른 장기에서의 농도 증가 없이 폐 조직에 약 50배 정도의 고농도 cisplatin을 투여할 수 있었으며, 또한 분리 폐 관류 시 cisplatin에 의한 직접적 폐 독성은 발견되지 않았다

We have modified the isolated perfused working rabbit lung model [IPWL] by perfusing the isolated lung with a hollow fiber membrane deoxygenator.For assessment the stored lung was ventilated with FIO2 0.4 and perfused with 37$^{\circ}$C deoxygenated circulating blood at a rate 5ml/kg/min for several hours until lung failure.We chose to compare our developing solution which contained low potassium and pentastarch with the modified Euro-Collins solution .Experiments were divided into four groups[n=6] based on the type of flushing preservation solution and preservation time.The flushed lungs were then preserved into same solution at 8~10$^{\circ}$C with 100% O2 inflated condition for 1 or 20 hours.These following results were obtained.The IPWL model requires only one animal per experiment and allows for the continuous assessment of aerodynamic performance. This should therefore be used as screening test in lung preservation.One hour preservation groups, there were no significant difference in recovery rates of PaO2, PAP and Paw. Survival time in the one hour preservation groups were very significant long in the Group II[LPPS, p<0.01]. Twenty hours preservation groups, there were no significant difference in the recovery rates of PAP and Paw between Group III[m-ECS] and Group IV[NS], but PaO2 was significantly worse at onset of reperfusion in Group III when compared with Group IV [p<0.05]. And also survival time in the 20 hours preservation groups were significant long in the Group IV [p<0.05].
