Quantitative Topography of the Hemodynamic-Oxidative Metabolic Interrelation by Multispot Measurement Approach in Rat Ischemia Models
We applied the multispot measurement approach for both laser Doppler (LD) and a microspectrophotometric method to measure local cerebral blood flow (1CBF) and local tissue hemoglobin oxygenation (IHbO2). We demonstrated that the current technology permits in vivo observation, allowing us to establish a close topographical relation between CBF and HbO2. We measured 1CBF by LD flowmetry and tissue HbO2 by a microspectrophotometric method at multiple corresponding locations using a “scanning” technique that employs a computer-controlled micromanipulator. CBF and HbO2 data from predefined locations were correlated to the topographical situation and then arranged in a three-dimensional (3D) imag…
Microcirculatory alterations in a mongolian gerbil sinus-vein thrombosis model
Summary Background and purpose. The pathophysiology of sinus-vein thrombosis (SVT) is still controversial in patients and experimental animals, the microcirculatory alterations in particular. This study was designed to develop a new sinus-vein thrombosis model and to further elucidate pathophysiological events such as the relationship between local and regional cerebral blood flow and haemoglobin oxygen saturation (HbSO2), changes of the microvasculature, leukocyte behaviour and brain tissue damage. Methods. In a first experimental series, animals were divided into two groups which resulted from different procedures of inducing SVT. In the SSS middle occlusion group (SMO group), SVT was ind…
