Hemodynamics in the leg soft tissues during bone regeneration in the diaphyseal defects separated from surrounding paraosseous tissues, was studied experimentally using 10 adult mongrel dogs. It has been established, that circulation changes occur both in the operated limb and in the contralateral limb. They are most obvious in the operated leg and have a phase character corresponding to posttraumatic period. Restoration of blood flow parameters starts just from the 28th day of the experiment, the parameters become completely stabilized by the end of the experiment (90 days). Bone regeneration in tibial defects is accompanied by circulation increase in the respective limb segment. 相似文献

The experiment in 23 adult dogs was based on the study of volumetric blood flow velocity in the superficial femoral artery and femoral vein, pulse changes in blood filling of the m. gastrocnemius in the conditions of tibial lengthening to 17.5-23% from the initial length. Complex changes in the blood flow parameters were revealed after surgical intervention and within 7 distraction days. When the distraction ended, the volumetric blood flow velocity in the femoral artery was reduced by 19% and the blood flow out of the vessel was improved by 17%. When fixation was over, the volumetric blood flow velocity in the vessel increased by 37% and the improved outflow preserved. At each experimental stage, there was an increased volumetric blood flow velocity in the femoral vein as compared to its value in the control group, its correspondence to the superficial femoral artery as well as similar dynamics in blood flow changes in the femoral vessels and m. gastrocnemius. The findings show that the vascular system of bone regeneration provides accelerated arterial blood transportation into the venous system during organotypical bone area formation. 相似文献

Resting whole leg blood flow and vascular conductance decrease linearly with advancing age in healthy adult men. The potential role of age-related increases in oxidative stress in these changes is unknown. Resting leg blood flow during saline and ascorbic acid infusion was studied in 10 young (25 +/- 1 yr) and 11 older (63 +/- 2 yr) healthy normotensive men. Plasma oxidized LDL, a marker of oxidative stress, was greater in the older men (P < 0.05). Absolute resting femoral artery blood flow at baseline (iv saline control infusion) was 25% lower in the older men (238 +/- 25 vs. 316 +/- 38 ml/min; P < 0.05), and it was inversely related to plasma oxidized LDL (r = -0.56, P < 0.01) in all subjects. Infusion of supraphysiological concentrations of ascorbic acid increased femoral artery blood flow by 37% in the older men (to 327 +/- 52 ml/min; P < 0.05), but not in the young men (352 +/- 41 ml/min; P = 0.28), thus abolishing group differences (P = 0.72). Mean arterial blood pressure was greater in the older men at baseline (86 +/- 4 vs. 78 +/- 2 mmHg; P < 0.05), but it was unaffected by ascorbic acid infusion (P >/= 0.70). As a result, the lower baseline femoral artery blood flow in the older men was mediated solely by a 32% lower femoral artery vascular conductance (P < 0.05). Baseline femoral vascular conductance also was inversely related to plasma oxidized LDL (r = -0.65, P < 0.01). Ascorbic acid increased femoral vascular conductance by 36% in the older men (P < 0.05) but not in the young men (P = 0.31). In conclusion, ascorbic acid infused at concentrations known to scavenge reactive oxygen species restores resting femoral artery blood flow in healthy older adult men by increasing vascular conductance. These results support the hypothesis that oxidative stress plays a major role in the reduced resting whole leg blood flow and increased leg vasoconstriction observed with aging in men. 相似文献

The free thoracoumbilical flap for resurfacing large soft-tissue defects of the lower extremity 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Both cadavers and living patients were studied regarding a method to resolve large skin defects with bone exposure in the leg, with long-distance thrombosis of the anterior tibial vessels or posterior tibial vessels resulting from traumatic lesions. Forty-six casting mold specimens of cadaveric legs were investigated. There were rich communication branches among the anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery, and fibular artery in the foot and ankle, which complemented each other well. Twenty-six patients with large skin defects with bone exposure in the proximal or middle segment of the leg were admitted to the authors' hospital. Among those patients, 19 demonstrated long-distance thrombosis of the anterior tibial vessels or posterior tibial vessels resulting from traumatic lesions. During treatment, a thoracoumbilical flap based on the inferior epigastric vessels was anastomosed to the distal stump of the anterior tibial vessels or the posterior tibial vessels, with reversed flow. All defects were successfully repaired, with good color and texture matches of the flaps. This method can be used for patients with normal anterior tibial vessels or posterior tibial vessels, normal distal stumps of the injured blood vessels, and good reversed flow. The method has the advantages of dissecting blood vessels in the recipient area during the débridement, not affecting the blood circulation of the injured leg, not sacrificing blood vessels of the opposite leg, and not fixing the patient in a forced posture. The muscles are less bulky in the distal one-third of the leg, and the blood vessels are shallow and can be dissected and anastomosed easily. When the flap is used for reconstruction in the proximal two-thirds of the leg, the blood vessel pedicle of the free flap is at a straight angle, without kinking. 相似文献

The present experiment was designed to measure the synthetic and breakdown rates of muscle protein in the hindlimb of rabbits with or without clamping the femoral artery. l-[ring-(13)C(6)]phenylalanine was infused as a tracer for measurement of muscle protein kinetics by means of an arteriovenous model, tracer incorporation, and tracee release methods. The ultrasonic flowmeter, dye dilution, and microsphere methods were used to determine the flow rates in the femoral artery, in the leg, and in muscle capillary, respectively. The femoral artery flow accounted for 65% of leg flow. A 50% reduction in the femoral artery flow reduced leg flow by 28% and nutritive flow by 26%, which did not change protein synthetic or breakdown rate in leg muscle. Full clamp of the femoral artery reduced leg flow by 42% and nutritive flow by 59%, which decreased (P < 0.05) both the fractional synthetic rate from 0.19 +/- 0.05 to 0.14 +/- 0.03%/day and fractional breakdown rate from 0.28 +/- 0.07 to 0.23 +/- 0.09%/day of muscle protein. Neither the partial nor full clamp reduced (P = 0.27-0.39) the intracellular phenylalanine concentration or net protein balance in leg muscle. We conclude that the flow threshold to cause a fall of protein turnover rate in leg muscle was a reduction of 30-40% of the leg flow. The acute responses of muscle protein kinetics to the reductions in blood flow reflected the metabolic priorities to maintain muscle homeostasis. These findings cannot be extrapolated to more chronic conditions without experimental validation. 相似文献

Satisfactory replacement of skin defects over the lower leg remains a difficult problem. Various forms of coverage, including, local rotation flaps, muscle flaps, and fascial and free flaps, have their specific indications and inherent disadvantages. In this work, a new axial skin flap based on perforating vessels in the territory of the anterior tibial artery is described. A series of 50 lower leg dissections was carried out in 25 fresh cadavers after latex injection into the femoral artery. Detailed studies of the cutaneous distribution of the anterior tibial artery showed that three main arteries perfuse the anterior lateral portion of the lower leg. The superior lateral peroneal artery and the inferior lateral peroneal artery interseptal cutaneous perforators arise at an average of 25.6 and 17.2 cm from the lateral malleolus, respectively. The superior lateral peroneal artery was present in 100 percent of the specimens, whereas the inferior lateral peroneal artery was present in 70 percent of the specimens. In their course, they give several muscular branches to the peroneus longus and brevis prior to perforating the fascia and arborizing in the subcutaneous tissues of the anterolateral portion of the leg. The average external diameter was 1.6 cm for the superior and 1.4 cm for the inferior lateral peroneal artery. The superficial peroneal nerve accessory artery is the third artery which contributes to the skin of the lower leg. It arises from the superior lateral peroneal artery in 30 percent of cases, from the inferior lateral peroneal artery in 40 percent, and from both in 30 percent. The artery runs along with the superficial peroneal nerve and gives several cutaneous perforators along its descending course. Several cutaneous axial flaps can be fashioned around this anatomy. The operative technique along with demonstrative clinical cases is presented followed by pertinent discussion. 相似文献

Shear rate is significantly lower in the superficial femoral compared with the brachial artery in the supine posture. The relative shear rates in these arteries of subjects in the upright posture (seated and/or standing) are unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that upright posture (seated and/or standing) would produce greater shear rates in the superficial femoral compared with the brachial artery. To test this hypothesis, Doppler ultrasound was used to measure mean blood velocity (MBV) and diameter in the brachial and superficial femoral arteries of 21 healthy subjects after being in the supine, seated, and standing postures for 10 min. MBV was significantly higher in the brachial compared with the superficial femoral artery during upright postures. Superficial femoral artery diameter was significantly larger than brachial artery diameter. However, posture had no significant effect on either brachial or superficial femoral artery diameter. The calculated shear rate was significantly greater in the brachial (73 +/- 5, 91 +/- 11, and 97 +/- 13 s(-1)) compared with the superficial femoral (53 +/- 4, 39 +/- 77, and 44 +/- 5 s(-1)) artery in the supine, seated, and standing postures, respectively. Contrary to our hypothesis, our current findings indicate that mean shear rate is lower in the superficial femoral compared with the brachial artery in the supine, seated, and standing postures. These findings of lower shear rates in the superficial femoral artery may be one mechanism for the higher propensity for atherosclerosis in the arteries of the leg than of the arm. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that leg blood flow responses during leg cycle ergometry are reduced with age in healthy non-estrogen-replaced women. Thirteen younger (20-27 yr) and thirteen older (61-71 yr) normotensive, non-endurance-trained women performed both graded and constant-load bouts of leg cycling at the same absolute exercise intensities. Leg blood flow (femoral vein thermodilution), mean arterial pressure (MAP; radial artery), mean femoral venous pressure, cardiac output (acetylene rebreathing), and blood O2 contents were measured. Leg blood flow responses at light workloads (20-40 W) were similar in younger and older women. However, at moderate workloads (50-60 W), leg blood flow responses were significantly attenuated in older women. MAP was 20-25 mmHg higher (P < 0.01) in the older women across all work intensities, and calculated leg vascular conductance (leg blood flow/estimated leg perfusion pressure) was lower (P < 0.05). Exercise-induced increases in leg arteriovenous O2 difference and O2 extraction were identical between groups (P > 0.6). Leg O2 uptake was tightly correlated with leg blood flow across all workloads in both subject groups (r2 = 0.80). These results suggest the ability of healthy older women to undergo limb vasodilation in response to submaximal exercise is impaired and that the legs are a potentially important contributor to the augmented systemic vascular resistance seen during dynamic exercise in older women. 相似文献

We performed preoperative arteriography and postamputation dissection on a human limb having complete tibial aplasia and preaxial polydactyly. The tibia was replaced by a tendinous band with an attached connective tissue mass. In the leg, the muscles were normal. Muscles usually arising from the tibia arose from the tendinous band, Intrinsic muscles of the foot were absent where skeletal elements were absent and there were supernumerary muscles where there were supernumerary skeletal elements. The tendinous insertions of the muscles that originated in the leg followed the skeletal pattern of the foot. The nerves were normally distributed with the exception that extra branches innervated the supernumerary toes. Both the anterior tibial and peroneal arteries were smaller than normal and progressively reduced in size as they coursed distally and could not be identified below the ankle. The dorsalis pedis artery was absent. The other arteries of the leg and foot were normal with the exception of extra branches supplying the supernumerary toes. The anatomy indicates that the foot is probably a double posterior duplication. Such a defect implies abnormal specification of the foot pattern due to a prespecification event. The tibial remnant with normal leg soft tissues indicates normal specification of the leg pattern and subsequent interruption of tibial morphogenesis due to a postspecification event. The presence of these different types of malformations in the same limb may seem to be contradictory. We suggest, however, that a single teratogenic event occurring at one moment in time could cause combined pre- and postspecification malformations. We further suggest that a diminished anterior tibial artery reduced the number of vessels available for collateral circulation and thus put the limb at risk for subsequent malformation. 相似文献

To determine whether conduit artery size affects functional responses, we compared the magnitude, time course, and eliciting shear rate stimulus for flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in healthy men (n = 20; 31 +/- 7 yr). Upper limb (brachial and radial) and lower limb (common and superficial femoral) FMD responses were simultaneously assessed, whereas popliteal responses were measured in the same subjects during a separate visit. Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN)-mediated responses were similarly examined. Edge detection and wall tracking of high-resolution B-mode arterial ultrasound images, combined with synchronized Doppler waveform envelope analysis, were used to calculate conduit artery diameter, blood flow, and shear rate continuously across the cardiac cycle. Baseline artery size correlated inversely with the FMD response (r = -0.57, P < 0.001). Within-artery comparisons revealed a significant inverse correlation between artery size and FMD% for the radial (r = -0.66, P = 0.001), brachial (r = -0.55, P = 0.01), and popliteal artery (r = -0.48, P = 0.03), but not for the superficial and common femoral artery. Normalization of FMD responses for differences in eliciting shear rate did not abolish the between-artery relationship for artery function and size (r = -0.48, P < 0.001), suggesting that differences between artery function responses were not entirely due to size-related differences in shear rate. This was reinforced by a significant between-artery correlation for GTN responses and baseline artery size (r = -0.74, P < 0.001). In summary, systematic differences exist in vascular function responses of conduit arteries that differ in size. This raises the possibility that differences in artery size within or between individuals may influence functional responses. 相似文献

Maeda, Seiji, Takashi Miyauchi, Michiko Sakane, MakotoSaito, Shinichi Maki, Katsutoshi Goto, and Mitsuo Matsuda. Does endothelin-1 participate in the exercise-induced changes of blood flowdistribution of muscles in humans? J. Appl.Physiol. 82(4): 1107-1111, 1997.Endothelin-1(ET-1) is an endothelium-derived potent vasoconstrictor peptide thatpotentiates contractions to norepinephrine in human vessels. Wepreviously reported that the circulating plasma concentration of ET-1is significantly increased after exercise (S. Maeda, T. Miyauchi, K. Goto, and M. Matsuda. J. Appl.Physiol. 77: 1399-1402, 1994). Tostudy the roles of ET-1 during and after exercise, we investigatedwhether endurance exercise affects the production of ET-1 in thecirculation of working muscles and nonworking muscles. Male athletesperformed one-leg cycle ergometer exercise of 30-min duration atintensity of 110% of their individual ventilatory threshold. Plasmaconcentrations of ET-1 in both sides of femoral veins (veins in theworking leg and nonworking leg) and in the femoral artery (artery inthe nonworking leg) were measured before and afterexercise. The plasma ET-1 concentration in the femoralvein in the nonworking leg was significantly increased after exercise,whereas that in femoral vein in the working leg was not changed. Thearteriovenous difference in ET-1 concentration was significantlyincreased after exercise in the circulation of the nonworking leg butnot of the working leg, which suggests that the production of ET-1 wasincreased in the circulation of the nonworking leg by exercise. Thepresent study also demonstrated that the plasma norepinephrineconcentrations were elevated by exercise in the femoral veins of boththe working and nonworking legs, suggesting that the sympathetic nerveactivity was augmented in both legs during exercise. Therefore, thepresent study demonstrates the possibility that the increase inproduction of ET-1 in nonworking muscles may cause vasoconstriction andhence decrease blood flow in nonworking muscles through its directvasoconstrictive action or through an indirect effect of ET-1 toenhance vasoconstrictions to norepinephrine and that these responsesmay be helpful in increasing blood flow in workingmuscles. We propose that endogenous ET-1 contributes tothe exercise-induced redistribution of blood flow in muscles. 相似文献

Basal whole leg blood flow and vascular conductance are reduced in estrogen-deficient postmenopausal compared with premenopausal women. The underlying mechanisms are unknown, but oxidative stress could be involved. We studied 9 premenopausal [23 +/- 1 yr (mean +/- SE)] and 20 estrogen-deficient postmenopausal (55 +/- 1 yr) healthy women. During baseline control, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a marker of oxidative stress, was 50% greater in the postmenopausal women (P < 0.001). Basal whole leg blood flow (duplex ultrasound of femoral artery) was 34% lower in the postmenopausal women because of a 38% lower leg vascular conductance (P < 0.0001); mean arterial pressure was not different. Intravenous administration of a supraphysiological dose of the antioxidant ascorbic acid increased leg blood flow by 15% in the postmenopausal women as a result of an increase in leg vascular conductance (both P < 0.001), but it did not affect leg blood flow in premenopausal controls or mean arterial pressure in either group. In the pooled subjects, the changes in leg blood flow and leg vascular conductance with ascorbic acid were related to baseline plasma oxidized LDL (r = 0.46 and 0.53, P < 0.01) and waist-to-hip ratio and total body fat (r = 0.41-0.44, all P < 0.05). Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that oxidative stress contributes to chronic leg vasoconstriction and reduced basal whole leg blood flow in estrogen-deficient postmenopausal women. This oxidative stress-related suppression of leg vascular conductance and blood flow may be linked in part to increased total and abdominal adiposity. 相似文献

Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is a strong predictor of future cardiovascular disease and is believed to represent a "barometer" of systemic endothelial health. Although a recent study [Padilla et al. Exp Biol Med (Maywood) 235: 1287-1291, 2010] in pigs confirmed a strong correlation between brachial and femoral artery endothelial function, it is unclear to what extent brachial artery FMD represents a systemic index of endothelial function in humans. We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from our laboratory to evaluate relationships between the upper (i.e., brachial artery) vs. lower limb (superficial femoral n = 75; popliteal artery n = 32) endothelium-dependent FMD and endothelium-independent glyceryl trinitrate (GTN)-mediated dilation in young, healthy individuals. We also examined the relationship between FMD assessed in both brachial arteries (n = 42). There was no correlation between brachial and superficial femoral artery FMD (r(2) = 0.008; P = 0.46) or between brachial and popliteal artery FMD (r(2) = 0.003; P = 0.78). However, a correlation was observed in FMD between both brachial arteries (r(2) = 0.34; P < 0.001). Brachial and superficial femoral artery GTN were modestly correlated (r(2) = 0.13; P = 0.007), but brachial and popliteal artery GTN responses were not (r(2) = 0.08; P = 0.11). Collectively, these data indicate that conduit artery vasodilator function in the upper limbs (of healthy humans) is not predictive of that in the lower limbs, whereas measurement of FMD in one arm appears to be predictive of FMD in the other. These data do not support the hypothesis that brachial artery FMD in healthy humans represents a systemic index of endothelial function. 相似文献

During maximal whole body exercise VO2 peak is limited by O2 delivery. In turn, it is though that blood flow at near-maximal exercise must be restrained by the sympathetic nervous system to maintain mean arterial pressure. To determine whether enhancing vasodilation across the leg results in higher O2 delivery and leg VO2 during near-maximal and maximal exercise in humans, seven men performed two maximal incremental exercise tests on the cycle ergometer. In random order, one test was performed with and one without (control exercise) infusion of ATP (8 mg in 1 ml of isotonic saline solution) into the right femoral artery at a rate of 80 microg.kg body mass-1.min-1. During near-maximal exercise (92% of VO2 peak), the infusion of ATP increased leg vascular conductance (+43%, P<0.05), leg blood flow (+20%, 1.7 l/min, P<0.05), and leg O2 delivery (+20%, 0.3 l/min, P<0.05). No effects were observed on leg or systemic VO2. Leg O2 fractional extraction was decreased from 85+/-3 (control) to 78+/-4% (ATP) in the infused leg (P<0.05), while it remained unchanged in the left leg (84+/-2 and 83+/-2%; control and ATP; n=3). ATP infusion at maximal exercise increased leg vascular conductance by 17% (P<0.05), while leg blood flow tended to be elevated by 0.8 l/min (P=0.08). However, neither systemic nor leg peak VO2 values where enhanced due to a reduction of O2 extraction from 84+/-4 to 76+/-4%, in the control and ATP conditions, respectively (P<0.05). In summary, the VO2 of the skeletal muscles of the lower extremities is not enhanced by limb vasodilation at near-maximal or maximal exercise in humans. The fact that ATP infusion resulted in a reduction of O2 extraction across the exercising leg suggests a vasodilating effect of ATP on less-active muscle fibers and other noncontracting tissues and that under normal conditions these regions are under high vasoconstrictor influence to ensure the most efficient flow distribution of the available cardiac output to the most active muscle fibers of the exercising limb. 相似文献

For an appropriate extrapolation to patients with peripheral arterial obstructive disease, we tested the efficacy of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) treatment in a porcine hindlimb ligation model. In 40 minipigs, a femoral artery ligation was performed. Control animals were examined immediately after ligation (n = 4) or after 2 wk of intra-arterial infusion of PBS (n = 11). A second group of animals was evaluated after intra-arterial infusion of 2.0 microg/h of MCP-1 for 48 h (followed by 12 days of PBS; n = 13) or 2 wk continuously (n = 12). In the terminal experiment after 2 wk, resting flow to the leg and peripheral arterial pressures were assessed without vasodilatation. Subsequently, vascular conductance was determined by using a pump-driven extracorporal circulation during maximal vasodilatation. The results showed that resting blood flow to the hindlimb was 53% of the normal after 2 wk of infusion of PBS, compared with 81% in both MCP-1 treatment groups (P < 0.05). Collateral conductance was 645 +/- 346 ml x min(-1) x mmHg(-1) after 2 wk of infusion with PBS, compared with 1,070 +/- 530 and 1,158 +/- 535 ml x min(-1) x mmHg(-1) after 48 h and 2 wk treatment with MCP-1, respectively (P < 0.05). Modulation of the process of arteriogenesis is feasible in this large animal model via intra-arterial infusion of the Cys-Cys-chemokine MCP-1. 相似文献

The effect of heat stress on circulation in an exercising leg was determined using one-legged knee extension and two-legged bicycle exercise, both seated and upright. Subjects exercised for three successive 25-min periods wearing a water-perfused suit: control [CT, mean skin temperature (Tsk) = 35 degrees C], hot (H, Tsk = 38 degrees C), and cold (C, Tsk = 31 degrees C). During the heating period, esophageal temperature increased to a maximum of 37.91, 39.35, and 39.05 degrees C in the three types of exercise, respectively. There were no significant changes in pulmonary O2 uptake (VO2) throughout the entire exercise period with either one or two legs. Leg blood flow (LBF), measured in the femoral vein of one leg by thermodilution, remained unchanged between CT, H, and C periods. Venous plasma lactate concentration gradually declined over time, and no trend for an increased lactate release during the heating period was found. Similarly, femoral arteriovenous O2 difference and leg VO2 remained unchanged between the three exercise periods. Although cardiac output (acetylene rebreathing) was not significantly higher during H, there was a tendency for an increase of 1 and 2 l/min in one- and two-legged exercise, respectively, which could account for part of the increase in total skin blood flow during heating (gauged by changes in forearm blood flow). Because LBF was not reduced during exercise and heat stress in these experiments, the additional increase in skin blood flow must have been met by redistribution of blood away from vascular beds other than active skeletal muscle. 相似文献

It has been suggested that, during heavy-intensity exercise, O(2) delivery may limit oxygen uptake (.VO2) kinetics; however, there are limited data regarding the relationship of blood flow and .VO2 kinetics for heavy-intensity exercise. The purpose was to determine the exercise on-transient time course of femoral artery blood flow (Q(leg)) in relation to .VO2 during heavy-intensity, single-leg, knee-extension exercise. Five young subjects performed five to eight repeats of heavy-intensity exercise with measures of breath-by-breath pulmonary .VO2 and Doppler ultrasound femoral artery mean blood velocity and vessel diameter. The phase 2 time frame for .VO2 and Q(leg) was isolated and fit with a monoexponent to characterize the amplitude and time course of the responses. Amplitude of the phase 3 response was also determined. The phase 2 time constant for .VO2 of 29.0 s and time constant for Q(leg) of 24.5 s were not different. The change (Delta) in .VO2 response to the end of phase 2 of 0.317 l/min was accompanied by a DeltaQ(leg) of 2.35 l/min, giving a DeltaQ(leg)-to-Delta.VO2 ratio of 7.4. A slow-component .VO2 of 0.098 l/min was accompanied by a further Q(leg) increase of 0.72 l/min (DeltaQ(leg)-to-Delta.VO2 ratio = 7.3). Thus the time course of Q(leg) was similar to that of muscle .VO2 (as measured by the phase 2 .VO2 kinetics), and throughout the on-transient the amplitude of the Q(leg) increase achieved (or exceeded) the Q(leg)-to-.VO2 ratio steady-state relationship (ratio approximately 4.9). Additionally, the .VO2 slow component was accompanied by a relatively large rise in Q(leg), with the increased O(2) delivery meeting the increased Vo(2). Thus, in heavy-intensity, single-leg, knee-extension exercise, the amplitude and kinetics of blood flow to the exercising limb appear to be closely linked to the .VO2 kinetics. 相似文献

Despite numerous animal trials reporting that cell therapy promotes collateral flow, clinical trials have not convincingly shown benefit. Patient-related risk factors are often used to explain these discrepancies. However, during the course of our own angiogenesis studies using mice, we noted large anatomical variability in collateral vessels. The purpose of the present investigation was to define how important this factor might be in determining intervention outcomes. Hindlimb ischemia was induced in BALB/c mice by ligating the superficial femoral artery. After 24 h, animals were treated by injecting the adductor muscle with either control media or cultured mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Blood flow recovery was measured using laser-Doppler [laser-Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI) ratio]. In a second experiment, mice were stratified 24 h after arterial ligation before treatment by using a simple clinical score of the ligated leg: 1, able to flex, mild discoloration; 2, no flexion, mild discoloration; 3, severe discoloration; and 4, any necrosis. Without stratification, blood flow recovery significantly increased in the MSC-treated group (P < 0.05, n = 6 MSC group, n = 7 media group). In the experiment employing stratification, all differences between the groups disappeared (n = 11 MSC group, n = 10 media group; P = 0.3). Furthermore, we found a striking inverse correlation between clinical score on day 1 and the LDPI ratio on day 28 (P < 0.0001; n = 79). Anatomical confirmation of the disparity in preexisting collaterals was found in two different mouse strains using microscopic computed tomography. In conclusion, there is substantial interanimal variability in preexisting collateral flow, and this variability can importantly influence outcome. To overcome this, either animals must be stratified before treatment, the number of animals must be increased substantially, or, preferably, both. 相似文献

We hypothesized that exposure to prolonged recumbency (bedrest), and thus reductions of intravascular pressure gradients, increases pressure distension in arteries/arterioles in the legs. Ten subjects underwent 5 wk of horizontal bedrest. Pressure distension was investigated in arteries and arterioles before and after the bedrest, with the subject seated or supine in a hyperbaric chamber with either one arm or a lower leg protruding through a hole in the chamber door. Increased pressure in the vessels of the arm/leg was accomplished by increasing chamber pressure. Vessel diameter and flow were measured in the brachial and posterior tibial arteries using Doppler ultrasonography. Electrical tissue impedance was measured in the test limb. Bedrest increased (P < 0.01) pressure distension threefold in the tibial artery (from 8 +/- 7% to 24 +/- 11%) and by a third (P < 0.05) in the brachial artery (from 15 +/- 9% to 20 +/- 10%). The pressure-induced increase in tibial artery flow was more pronounced (P < 0.01) after (50 +/- 39 ml/min) than before (13 +/- 23 ml/min) bedrest, whereas the brachial artery flow response was unaffected by bedrest. The pressure-induced decrease in tissue impedance in the leg was more pronounced (P < 0.01) after (16 +/- 7%) than before (10 +/- 6%) bedrest, whereas bedrest did not affect the impedance response in the arm. Thus, withdrawal of the hydrostatic pressure gradients that act along the blood vessels in erect posture markedly increases pressure distension in dependent arteries and arterioles. 相似文献

We examined the central hemodynamic (n = 5) and leg blood flow (n = 9) responses to one- and two-leg bicycle exercise in nine ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction 17 +/- 9%). During peak one- vs. two-leg exercise, leg blood flow (thermodilution) tended to be higher (1.99 +/- 0.91 vs. 1.67 +/- 0.91 l/min, P = 0.07), whereas femoral arteriovenous oxygen difference was lower (13.6 +/- 3.1 vs. 15.0 +/- 2.9 ml/dl, P less than 0.01). Comparison of data from exercise stages matched for single-leg work rate during one- vs. two-leg exercise demonstrated that cardiac output was similar while both oxygen consumption and central arteriovenous oxygen differences were lower, indicating relative improvement in the cardiac output response at a given single-leg work rate during one-leg exercise. This was accompanied by higher leg blood flow (1.56 +/- 0.76 vs. 1.83 +/- 0.72 l/min, P = 0.02) and a tendency for leg vascular resistance to be lower (92 +/- 54 vs. 80 +/- 48 Torr.l-1.min, P = 0.08) without any change in blood lactate. These data indicate that, in patients with chronic heart failure, leg vasomotor tone is dynamically regulated, independent of skeletal muscle metabolism, and is not determined solely by intrinsic abnormalities in skeletal muscle vasodilator capacity. Our results suggest that relative improvements in central cardiac function may lead to a reflex release of skeletal muscle vasoconstrictor tone in this disorder. 相似文献
