To gain insight into the relationship between the occurrence of occlusive arrhythmia(OA) and the incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia(RA), this study used 25 open-chest dogs anesthetized with halothan, these were ligated between anterior ventricular branch and marginal branch of left circumflex artery for 30 minutes and occlusive arrhythmia were observed during the ligation. After releasing of the ligation, TA were observed during 5 minutes. The results were summerized as follow； 1. Such arrhythmias as ventricular fibrillation(VF), short run type VPC Premature contraction(VPC), Venticular tachycardia(VT), ventricularc and trigeminy VPC(TVPC) were observed during occlusion and reperfusion. 2. The cases occurred VT, SRVPC and TVPC during occlusion necessarily were Incidence of RA. 3. RA never occurred without appearence of occlusive arrhythmias. 4. The occurrence rate of OA showed 55.5% in the incidence group of RA and 24.6％ in the non incidence group of RA. 5. The occurrence rate of VPC during occlusion showed 9.9＋5.85(episode/min) in the incidence group of RA and 4.46＋5.88(episode/min) in the non-incidence group of RA. These results may be estimated that the occurrence of VT, SRVPC and TVPC, and the high occurrence rate of VPC during occlusion can be predicted the incidence.

The incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia(RA) according to occlusive position of coronary artery was induced in 25 open-chest dogs anestherized with halothan, these were ligated between anterior ventricular branch and marginal branch of left circumflex artery for 30 minutes and after releasing of the ligation, the incidence of RA was observed during 5 minutes. The incidence rate of RA occurred in 36％(9 heads) of the cases, 20%(5 heads) of them died before reperfusion and 44％(11 heads) of them survived after reperfusion. In the classification according to the length of anterior ventricular branch in left circumflex artery, the incidence rate of RA occurred in 80％ of the group I(5 heads) which belongs to short size of anterior ventricilar branch, in 50% of the group II (8 heads) which belongs to medium size, in 8.3% of the group III(12 heads) which belongs to long size and in 61.5% of the groups I and II(13 heads). These results showed the higher incidence rate of RA than in other occlusive position (left anterior descending artery), and it may be estimated that the incidence of RA changed with the significant difference according to the lengthe of anterior ventricular branch, in other words, dimension of ischemic area in left ventricle.

Excess secretion of goblet cell stimulated by inhalation anesthetics have side effects during operation or postoperative care. Mucosubstances, which are almost secreted by goblet cells in the epithelium of the respiratory tract, are secreted by a direct irritation of inhalation anesthetics. This study was carried out to compare the differences of mucus secretion on lower respiratory tract stimulated by ethyl ether, halothane and isoflurane. Total of 24 rabbits were used as experimental animals. The trachea and the 1st bronchi were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. After embedding in paraffin, the specimens were sectioned to a thickness of 6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and PAS-H, Alcian blue pH 2.5 and Alcian blue pH 1.0 stains were performed for the observation of the composition and the quantity of the mucus. The results were as follows; Ethyl ether and isoflurane irritated the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. Ethyl ether irritated more than isoflurane. Halothane irritated the mucous membrane, but its effect was minimal and had little influences during operation. In the specimens stained with PAS-H, Alcian blue pH 2.5 and Alcian blue pH 1.0, the mucosubstance lining the cilia and in the goblet cells of the trachea and 1st bronchi were the strongly PAS-H reactive mucosubstances, moderately Alcian blue pH 2.5 and Alcian blue pH 1.0. The PAS-H reactive mucosubstance were polysaccharides, neutral mucopolysaccharides, mucoproteins, glycoproteins and glycolipids. Trachea was easily affected than bronchi by inhalation anesthetics. Consequently, it is suggested that because halothane does not irritates respiratory mucosal secretion, its application may be efficient to the depressed respiratory system.
