METHODSOne lung (16 left and 1 right) was excised and reimplanted in each of 17 adult dogs (weight, 14-27 kg), during anesthesia with pentobarbital(30 mg/kg iv). During the procedure, atropine sulfate (0.4 mg iv), penicillin(300,000 units im), streptomycin(0.5 gm im), and 0.9% saline (500 ml iv) were administered. The antibiotics were repeated daily for 5 days after operation. The pulmonary artery of the excised lung was perfused with heparin (100 mg in 100 ml 0.9% saline at room temperature). The bronchial arteries and pulmonary nerves were divided l-2 cm proximal to the origin of the segmental bronchus to the upper lobe. The bronchial anastomosis was performed first and the reimplanted lung was ventilated with air or oxygen while the atria1 and pulmonary arterial anastomoses were completed. No attempt was made to approximate severed nerves. All anastomoses were made with running 4-O or 5-O polyester sutures. The lungs were ischemic for 40-70 min (mean, 56 min). We anesthetized 13 dogs with pentobarbital(30 mg/kg iv), intubated them with an endotracheal tube, and placed them in the supine position. A femoral arterial catheter was connected to a pressure transducer(Statham Db23), to monitor blood pressure and pulse rate continuously on an Electronics for Medicine recorder. We studied airway diameters on roentgenograms after insufflation of powdered tantalum(21). All roentgenograms were obtained at end expiration. In each roentgenogram, 10 or more bronchi in each lung were measured with a graduated hand lens at equivalent sites that were determined from anatomic landmarks. Pairs of roentgenograms from the same study of each dog were compared for changes in the diameters of measured airways.We studied regeneration of bronchoconstrictor nerves in 11 dogs (dogs 1-U). The ipsilateral cervical vagus nerve was exposed, placed on a bipolar silver electrode and stimulated for 10 set with square-wave pulses (15 v; 15 cycles/set; 3 msec) from a Grass model S4DR stimulator. In five of these dogs (dogs 1, 3-6) that were paralyzed with intravenous succinylcholine and ventilated with a Harvard respirator, we also studied reflex bronchoconstriction produced by 1.5-2 min of apnea (19). In two dogs (dogs 5, 12), we isolated and stimulated both cervical vagus nerves electrically at different frequencies(5-30 cycles/set) and constant intensity (5 v) and duration (3 msec). We also studied the rate of onset of bronchoconstriction of both lungs of these dogs by obtaining roentgenograms at 6-to 1 0-set intervals after beginning simultaneous stimulation of both vagus nerves (20 v; 30 cycles/set; 3 msec). We blocked conduction in the ipsilateral vagus nerve by cooling in four dogs (dogs I, 6, 9, 10) to prevent afferent impulses in the stimulated nerve from reaching the central nervous system and stimulated this vagus nerve (15 v; 15 cycles/set; 3 msec) 2-5 cm caudad to the cooling thermode. We studied possible reinnervation of the reimplanted(left) lung from the vagus nerve from the opposite (right) lung in six dogs (dogs I, 4-7, 10). We produced bronchoconstriction in the right lung by apnea (5 dogs) or vagal stimulation(1 dog) while conduction in the left cervical vagus nerve was blocked by a cooling thermode.
