Research Abstract

In twenty-eight brain death patients simultaneous intravenous administration of arginine vasopressin at an average dose 0.3mU/kg/min and an additional small dose of epinephrine could steadily control not also systemic mean arterial pressure over 80 mmHg, but also diabetes insipidus for more than a week. Through the analysis of circulatory parameters both cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance were maintained in the normal level with the support of vasopressin and epinephrine. ECG revealed ST depression frequently in the first two days, but became normal gradually. The cardiac biopsy specimens were obtained from right ventricular septum. They showed atrophy and hypertrophy of myofilaments and interstitial edema in light microscopy. Severity of mitochondrial ianjury was various in every case, but it was supposed becoming worse gradually in electron microscope. Clinical data in our study showed normal renal function and progressive jaundice in most cases. Histopathologically norm … More al glomeruli and desquamation of epithelial cells of tubulus were observed in the specimens of kidney at autopsy. Normal hepatocytes and cholangiolitic changes were observed in the liver specimens. Severity of cholangiolitis depended on the furation from brain death to asystole. These histopathologic findings were comparable to the clinical data. We also studied the change of pituitary galnd after brain death. Basal serum levels of anterior pituitary hormones like ACTH, HGH, LH, FSH, TSH and prolaction were all detectable for seceral days after brain death. TSH and prolaction were both increased in response to added load of TRH. This remaining function of anterior pituitary gland was explained by the two anatomical peculiarities. Firstly, pituitary gland is protected from the direct compressive force of cerebral herniation in the bony structure. Inferior pituitary arteries and capsular arteries run into pituitary galnd through extradural approach. It was suggested that anterior lobe of pituitary gland still survived at least partially after brain death. Less
