We reported earlier in the 1st report the use of treadmill walk apparatus and transcutaneous blood gas measurement apparatus as a newly designed exercise test. In this report, test was carried out in 90 @entity1 (4 healthy, 66 recovered from @entity1907 , 3 recovered from silico- @entity1907 , 12 of @entity1030 , and 5 of @entity3794 et @entity4595 ). The changing curves of transcutaneously measured O2 partial pressure (tPo2) were, as previously reported, classified into 4 types: 1. unchange-6, 2. slightly decreased-38, 3. moderately decreased-24, 4. markedly decreased-21. And unexpected odd curves were seen in 4 @entity1 , 3 of whom were retested the other day, and their changing curves of tPo2 in the second test were corrected and classified into slightly or moderately decreased type. The decreasing slopes of 4 types of tPo2 curves were subclassified, in each type, into 3 to 4 forms. In @entity1907 @entity1 , in general, when the spread of pathologic changes in the lungs was wider, the more decreased types of tPo2 curves were seen. But in @entity1030 @entity1 , such was not the case. In the exercise test, total tolerance time (minutes) against the definite load was significantly shorter in the more decreased type; unchanged-13.5-14.5, slightly decreased -7-10, moderately decreased-6-9, and markedly decreased-3-5. The recovering time of tPo2, pulse rate, blood pressure etc. from the records in the end of the exercise to the pre-exercise records, was longer in the more decreased type. On the other hand, usually the lower Pao2 of the @entity1 were, the more their changing curves of tPo2 decreased. Pao2 was previously measured in blood taken from brachial artery in supine position before the test. But exceptionally in some @entity1 with high Pao2 value, the curves belonged to markedly decreased type. The changes of @entity26 values of some @entity1 during exercise test were individually different, showing that this exercise test reflected their comprehensive respiratory function. Prognosis was especially bad in @entity1 with markedly decreased type, 8 of whom had died from @entity1576 within 2 years after the test. In conclusion, it can be said that this exercise test was effective in judging the pulmonary reserve function and the prognosis in @entity1907 @entity1 , but more detailed investigations are necessary, especially in more @entity1030 @entity1 , for the understanding of the respiratory distress.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
