The study was aimed to evaluate microvascular blood flow and theological blood properties in healthy volunteers (n = 27) and patients with cerebral accident (n = 30). To study cutaneous blood flow we used the multifunctional laser analyzer of blood microcirculation LAKK (LAZMA, Moscow) with spectrophotometric channel and wavelet analysis of blood flow oscillations. Viscosity of the whole blood, plasma, RBC aggregability and deformability were assessed. Results: microcirculation index was by 25% (p < 0.05) lower in patients compared to the control group. Computing amplitude-frequency range of blood flow oscillations revealed notable changes in the blood flow regulation mechanisms under cerebrovascular accident: the amplitudes of all active rhythms (endothelial, neurogenic and myogenic ones) were increased. In spite of such activization of regulatory mechanisms, aimed to keep essential blood supply to tissue, index of specific oxygen consumption by tissue was decreased by 21% (p < 0.05) under cerebrovascular disorders. Blood rheological properties in patients group were impaired compared to the healthy group: blood viscosity was increased because of elevated plasma viscosity, increased RBS aggreagation and decreased erythrocyte deformability. Thus, our results demonstrated the decrease of tissue perfusion, activization of vasodilating mechanisms, impaired blood rheology and the decrease of oxygen supply to tissue in patients with cerebrovascular accident. Statistical analysis revealed a number of significant correlations between the hemorheological parameters and passive rhythms of microcirculation in norm. In patients blood viscosity correlated to the amplitude of active regulatory rhythms (endothelial, neurogenic and myogenic oscillations). Close interralations between rheological and microcirculation parameters testified the important role of hemorheological factors in maintenance of microvascular blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissue.  相似文献

Normally, cerebral blood flow (CBF) is quantitatively coupled to cerebral metabolic rate like other tissues and maintained basically by altering vascular geometry and appropriate perfusion pressure. However, the rheological properties of the blood are important factors for effective tissue perfusion. Although a lot of studies have reported that hemorheological parameters are affected by a wide range of pathophysiological conditions, to our knowledge no research related to the effects of epileptic seizures on hemorheological parameters has been carried out. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore possible changes in rheological parameters including red blood cell (RBC) deformability, rigidity and aggregation, whole blood and plasma viscosity during epileptic seizures induced by penicillin G in rats. Eighteen female albino rats were divided into three groups that included sham operated controls (Group S), epileptic group (Group E), intraperitoneal penicillin group (Group IPP). Epilepsy was induced by intracortical injections of penicillin G. Hemorheological studies had been carried out 3 h after the induction of epilepsy. Among the studied hemorheological parameters, only RBC deformability was found to be different in the E group compared to S group. Epileptic seizures led to an increase in RBC deformability in the E group. In conclusion, these results suggest that in addition to an increase in CBF, RBC deformability may also improve to better match brain metabolic demands during seizures.  相似文献

Recent findings in cellular signaling function of zinc through the mobilization intracellular calcium or by inducing ATP release suggest that extracellular zinc plays an important role in many physiological functions. However, such an extracellular signaling action of zinc for most cells is not known. Therefore, we investigated whether zinc plays any role in endothe-lium-dependent acetylcholine (ACh)-induced vasodilatation in microvascular beds. Transdermal iontophoresis was used to transport ACh through the forearm skin and cutaneous perfusion was measured using a laser Doppler flowmeter (LDF). Experiments were repeated using (1) zinc instead of ACh to test the effect of zinc ions alone and (2) concomitant iontophoresis of ACh and zinc to explore the effect of zinc on ACh-induced vasodilatation. Although zinc augments blood flow, curve-fitting to LDF signals indicate that zinc has no effect on the neural and endothelial component of ACh-induced vasodilatation. Additionally, no effect of Zn2+ on blood flow was found during its iontophoresis alone. Therefore, it is suggested from the Fourier analysis of LDF signals that the Zn+ might influence blood fluidity by its action on red blood cells deformability/aggregability during a high-blood-flow condition, which might, in turn, decrease blood viscosity and improve blood flow in vivo.  相似文献

Exposures to microgravity and head-down tilt (HDT) produce similar changes in body fluid. This causes an increase in hematocrit that significantly affects hemorheological values. Lack of physical stimulation under bed rest conditions and the relative immobility of the crew during spaceflight also affects the blood fluidity. A group of six healthy male subjects participated as volunteers, and blood samples were collected 10 days before, on day 2 and day 9, and 2 days after the HDT phase. Blood rheology was quantified by plasma viscometry, red cell aggregability, and red cell deformability. A reduced red cell deformability, an indication of the diminished quality of the red blood cells, was measured under HDT conditions that finally led to the so-called "space flight anemia." Enhanced red cell membrane fragility induced by diminished physical activity and an increase in hemoglobin concentration are responsible for this effect. Plasma viscosity is reduced as a result of diminished plasma proteins. However, despite the reduction in plasma proteins, including fibrinogen, alpha 2-macroglobulin, and immunoglobulin M, red cell aggregation was enhanced, principally because of the increase in hematocrit. Our results of hemorheological alterations under HDT conditions may help to elucidate the formerly documented hematologic changes during spaceflight.  相似文献

Choto-san is a formula used for the treatment of headache and vertigo. Recently it has often also been used for hypertension and dementia. One of the mechanisms involved is thought to be the improvement of blood circulation, but the details are still unclear. In this study, the effect of Chotosan was studied on nitric oxide (NO) function, hemorheological factors and endothelial function in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-SP). Rats were given Choto-san in drinking water for eight weeks. Body weight, blood pressure, serum NO2-/NO3-, lipid peroxides, blood viscosity, erythrocyte deformability and endothelium-dependent/-independent relaxation were measured. The results indicated that Choto-san caused a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in erythrocyte deformability and NO function. Blood viscosity was not changed. Furthermore, endothelium-dependent relaxation by acetylcholine was significantly increased as compared to control. In this study, it was supposed that Choto-san had a protective effect on the endothelium. SHR-SP is a useful model for human brain stroke, and Choto-san showed a protective effect against cerebral vascular injury in the susceptible rat.  相似文献

The relationships between some parameters of electrolyte balance and blood rheological characteristics are studied in healthy young subjects and athletes. In the total group of subjects (n = 41), the viscosity of whole blood is positively correlated with the sodium ion concentration and negatively correlated with the inorganic phosphorus concentration. The blood concentration of inorganic phosphorus is increased in the athletes and is positively correlated with deformability of erythrocytes and negatively with their aggregability. The serum concentration of potassium ions is related, via its relationship with MCV, to erythrocyte deformability. In the athletes (n = 27), the erythrocyte deformability is decreased and the blood concentrations of iron and magnesium are increased. It is conceivable that the state of electrolyte balance in healthy young humans is related to their blood rheology.  相似文献

Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation and blood viscosity are important determinants of in vivo blood flow dynamics and, in marine mammals, these parameters may impact diving physiology by altering blood oxygen delivery during the diving response. Weddell seals are superb divers and exhibit age-related patterns in blood oxygen chemistry and diving ability. By contrast, bowhead whales are not long duration divers, and little is known of their blood properties relative to diving. The present study was designed to compare rheological characteristics of blood from Weddell seal pups, Weddell seal adults, and from adult bowhead whales: blood viscosity and RBC aggregation in plasma and in polymer solutions (i.e., RBC "aggregability") were measured. Salient findings included: (1) significant 4- to 8-fold greater aggregation in blood from adult seals compared with pups and human subjects; (2) 2-to 8-fold greater aggregation in bowhead whale blood compared with human blood; (3) compared to human red cells, enhanced RBC aggregability of RBC from adult seals and whales as determined by their greater aggregation in polymer solutions; (4) increasing RBC aggregation and aggregability of seal pup blood over a seven day period following birth; (5) significantly greater blood viscosity for adult seals compared with pups at both native and standardized hematocrits. These results indicate that, for both species, hemorheological parameters differ markedly from those of humans, and suggest progressive changes with seal age; the physiological implications of these differences have yet to be fully defined.  相似文献

Thrombogenicity is the property of a foreign surface to induce clotting processes or formation of aggregates after contact with blood. Beside the sort of anticoagulation patient's prethrombotic state, rheological factors as well as physicochemical properties of foreign membranes decisively influence thrombogenicity. We examined the influence of chronic renal failure and different hemodialyzers and blood transfusion therapy during hemodialysis on hemorheological parameters. Different membranes cannot be discriminated by the used hemorheological parameters. We clearly could demonstrate the close relationship between the hemofiltration rate and an increase of viscosity. Blood transfusion therapy or elevated hematocrit in combination with increased hemofiltration rate have influence on the flow behaviour of blood, especially in disturbed microcirculation.  相似文献

Koala, a marsupial, and echidna, a monotreme, are mammals native to Australia. Blood viscosity (62.5–1250 s?1), red blood cell (RBC) deformability, RBC aggregation, aggregability and surface charge, and hematological parameters were measured in blood samples from six koalas and six echidnas and compared to adult human blood. Koala had the largest RBC mean cell volume (107.7±2.6 fl) compared to echidna (81.3±2.6 fl) and humans (88.4±1.2 fl). Echidna blood exhibited the highest viscosity over the entire range of shear rates. Echidna RBC were significantly less deformable than koala RBC but more deformable than human RBC. Echidna RBC had significantly lower aggregability (i.e., aggregation in standardized dextran medium) than koala or human RBC, while aggregation in autologous plasma was similar for the three species. Erythrocyte surface charge as indexed by RBC electrophoretic mobility was similar for human and echidna cells but was 40% lower for koala RBC. Data obtained during this preliminary study indicate that koala and echidna have distinct hemorheological characteristics; investigation of these properties may reveal patterns relevant to specific behavioral and physiological features of these animals.  相似文献

Advances in microfabrication techniques have enabled the production of inexpensive and reproducible microfluidic systems for conducting biological and biochemical experiments at the micro- and nanoscales 1,2. In addition, microfluidics have also been specifically used to quantitatively analyze hematologic and microvascular processes, because of their ability to easily control the dynamic fluidic environment and biological conditions3-6. As such, researchers have more recently used microfluidic systems to study blood cell deformability, blood cell aggregation, microvascular blood flow, and blood cell-endothelial cell interactions6-13.However, these microfluidic systems either did not include cultured endothelial cells or were larger than the sizescale relevant to microvascular pathologic processes. A microfluidic platform with cultured endothelial cells that accurately recapitulates the cellular, physical, and hemodynamic environment of the microcirculation is needed to further our understanding of the underlying biophysical pathophysiology of hematologic diseases that involve the microvasculature.Here, we report a method to create an "endothelialized" in vitro model of the microvasculature, using a simple, single mask microfabrication process in conjunction with standard endothelial cell culture techniques, to study pathologic biophysical microvascular interactions that occur in hematologic disease. This "microvasculature-on-a-chip" provides the researcher with a robust assay that tightly controls biological as well as biophysical conditions and is operated using a standard syringe pump and brightfield/fluorescence microscopy. Parameters such as microcirculatory hemodynamic conditions, endothelial cell type, blood cell type(s) and concentration(s), drug/inhibitory concentration etc., can all be easily controlled. As such, our microsystem provides a method to quantitatively investigate disease processes in which microvascular flow is impaired due to alterations in cell adhesion, aggregation, and deformability, a capability unavailable with existing assays.  相似文献

Limited information is available about selection of the threshold for arterial blood pressure in critically ill patients, particularly in sepsis when normal organ blood flow autoregulation may be altered. The present experimental study investigated whether increasing perfusion pressure using norepinephrine in normotensive hyperdynamic porcine bacteremia affects intestinal macro- and microcirculation. Nine pigs received continuous i.v. administration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PSAE) to develop hyperdynamic, normotensive (mean arterial pressure [MAP] 65 mm Hg) sepsis. Norepinephrine was used to achieve 10-15 % increase in MAP. Mesenteric arterial blood flow (Q(gut)), ileal mucosal microvascular perfusion (LDF(gut)) and ileal-end-tidal PCO(2) gap (PCO(2) gap) were measured before norepinephrine, after 60 min of norepinephrine infusion and 60 min after norepinephrine infusion had been discontinued. During a 12 h period of PSAE infusion all pigs developed hyperdynamic circulation with significantly decreased MAP. Although the mesenteric blood flow remained unchanged, infusion of PSAE resulted in a gradual fall of ileal microvascular perfusion, which was associated with progressively rising PCO(2) gap. Norepinephrine which induced a 10-15 % increase in perfusion pressure (i.e. titrated to attain near baseline values of MAP) affected neither Q(gut) nor the intestinal blood flow distribution (Q(gut)/CO). Similarly, norepinephrine did not change either LDF(gut) or PCO(2) gap. In this hyperdynamic, normotensive porcine bacteremia, norepinephrine-induced increase in perfusion pressure exhibited neither beneficial nor deleterious effects on intestinal macrocirculatory blood flow and ileal mucosal microcirculation. The lack of changes suggests that the gut perfusion was within its autoregulatory range.  相似文献

Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in regulation of vascular tone and blood flow. In the microcirculation blood flow is strongly dependent on red blood cells (RBC) deformability. In vitro NO increases RBC deformability. This study hypothesized that NO increases RBC velocity in vivo not only by regulating vascular tone, but also by modifying RBC deformability. The effects of NO on RBC velocity were analysed by intra-vital microscopy in the microcirculation of the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of the avian embryo at day 7 post-fertilization, when all vessels lack smooth muscle cells and vascular tone is not affected by NO. It was found that inhibition of enzymatic NO synthesis and NO scavenging decreased intracellular NO levels and avian RBC deformability in vitro. Injection of a NO synthase-inhibitor or a NO scavenger into the microcirculation of the CAM decreased capillary RBC velocity and deformation, while the diameter of the vessels remained constant. The results indicate that scavenging of NO and inhibition of NO synthesis decrease RBC velocity not only by regulating vascular tone but also by decreasing RBC deformability.  相似文献

Whole blood is a non-Newtonian fluid, which means that its viscosity depends on shear rate. At low shear, blood cells aggregate, which induces a sharp increase in viscosity, whereas at higher shear blood cells disaggregate, deform and align in the direction of flow. Other important determinants of blood viscosity are the haematocrit, the presence of macro-molecules in the medium, temperature and, especially at high shear, the deformability of red blood cells. At the sites of severe atherosclerotic obstructions or at vasospastic locations, when change of vessel diameter is limited, blood viscosity contributes to stenotic resistance thereby jeopardising tissue perfusion. However, blood viscosity plays its most important role in the microcirculation where it contributes significantly to peripheral resistance and may cause sludging in the postcapillary venules. Apart from the direct haemodynamic significance, an increase in blood viscosity at low shear by red blood cell aggregation is also associated with increased thrombotic risk, as has been demonstrated in atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, as increased red blood cell aggregation is a reflection of inflammation, hyperviscosity has been shown to be a marker of inflammatory activity. Thus, because of its potential role in haemodynamics, thrombosis and inflammation, determination of whole blood viscosity could provide useful information for diagnostics and therapy of (cardio)vascular disease.  相似文献

Heat stress is one of the major limiting factors of production efficiency in the swine industry. The aims of the present study were 1) to observe if hemorheological and hematological parameters could be associated to physiological acclimation during the first days of heat stress exposure and 2) to determine if water restriction could modulate the effect of thermal heat stress on physiological, hematological and hemorheological parameters. Twelve Large White male pigs were divided into an ad libitum and a water restricted group. All pigs were submitted to one week at 24°C (D-7 to D-1). Then, at D0, temperature was progressively increased until 32°C and maintained during one week (D1 to D7). We performed daily measurements of water and feed intake. Physiological (i.e., skin temperature, rectal temperature, respiratory rate), hematological and hemorheological parameters were measured on D-6, D-5, D0, D1, D2 and D7. Water restriction had no effect on physiological, hematological and hemorheological parameters. The first days of heat stress caused an increase in the three physiological parameters followed by a reduction of these parameters suggesting a successful acclimation of pigs to heat stress. We showed an increase in hematocrit, red blood cell aggregation and red blood cell aggregation strength during heat stress. Further, we observed an important release of reticulocytes, an increase of red blood cell deformability and a reduction of feed intake and blood viscosity under heat stress. This study suggests that physiological acute adaptation to heat stress is accompanied by large hematological and hemorheological changes.  相似文献

Smoking is a significant risk factor in fatal pathologies including cardio-cerebrovascular and respiratory diseases. Aluminum (Al) is a toxic element without known biological function, but with recognized toxic effects. Manganese (Mn) and selenium (Se) are essential trace elements involved in cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms. Al, Mn, and Se carry out their metabolic activities via blood flow and tissue oxygenation. The structure and number of red blood cells (RBC) play important role in tissue oxygenation throughout blood flow. Increased hematocrit (Hct) as a result of probable hypoxia induces disturbed blood flow, RBC aggregation (RBC Agg), RBC deformability index (Tk), and oxygen delivery index (ODI). Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of altered Al, Mn, and Se levels on number, structure, and function of RBCs (Hct, blood and plasma viscosity (BV and PV, respectively), RBC Agg, Tk, ODI) in smokers without diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a study group (n = 128) categorized as ex-smokers (ES), smokers (S), and healthy controls (HC). Elements were analyzed in serum using ICP-OES. BV and PV were measured via Brookfield and Harkness viscometers at 37 °C, respectively. Smokers had statistically higher serum Al and Mn levels, BV, RBC, Hgb, Hct, PV, fibrinogen, RBC Agg, Tk45, and pulmonary blood flow rate, but lower serum Se levels and ODI45 values versus HC. In conclusion, increased Al, Mn, and hemorheological parameters and decreased Se and ODI45 might result from inflammatory response in defense mechanism in smokers without diagnosis of COPD. Our results point out that serum Al, Mn, and Se with hemorheological parameters may be beneficial markers of tissue oxygenation and defense mechanism before the clinic onset of COPD in smokers.

Alterations of blood rheology (hemorheology) are important for the early diagnosis, prognosis, and prevention of many diseases, including myocardial infarction, stroke, sickle cell anemia, thromboembolism, trauma, inflammation, and malignancy. However, real-time in vivo assessment of multiple hemorheological parameters over long periods of time has not been reported. Here, we review the capabilities of label-free photoacoustic (PA) and photothermal (PT) flow cytometry for dynamic monitoring of hemorhelogical parameters in vivo which we refer to as photoacoustic and photothermal blood rheology. Using phenomenological models, we analyze correlations between both PT and PA signal characteristics in the dynamic modes and following determinants of blood rheology: red blood cell (RBC) aggregation, deformability, shape (e.g., as in sickle cells), intracellular hemoglobin distribution, individual cell velocity, hematocrit, and likely shear rate. We present ex vivo and in vivo experimental verifications involving high-speed PT imaging of RBCs, identification of sickle cells in a mouse model of human sickle cell disease and in vivo monitoring of complex hemorheological changes (e.g., RBC deformability, hematocrit and RBC aggregation). The multi-parameter platform that integrates PT, PA, and conventional optical techniques has potential for translation to clinical applications using safe, portable, laser-based medical devices for point-of-care screening of disease progression and therapy efficiency.  相似文献

Copper plays an important role in the structure and function of metalloproteins and in the absorption of iron. The present study deals with the effects of excessive copper intake on hematological and hemorheological parameters. Drinking water containing 250 μg/mL copper for a period of 9 wk, Wistar albino rats showed increased erythrocyte count, blood viscosity, and hematocrit values (p<0.05) and lower hemoglobin (p<0.05) than controls fed a normal diet. The two groups also had differences in the erythrocyte deformability index. The results suggest that excessive copper intake results in hematological and hemorheological changes affecting both the protein content of the erythrocyte membrane and heme synthesis.  相似文献

By means of biomicroscopy, electrophysiological and hemorheological techniques effect of plasmapheresis with use of various plasma -substituting solutions and their combination on microcirculation, hemodynamics and rheology of blood at peritonitis has been studied in the experiment on 329 white non-inbred rats and on 50 mature dogs. Three periods of disturbances in hemomicrocirculation of the small intestine mesentery at peritonitis have been revealed: I (3-6h)--a relative well-being and compensatory reactions in the system of hemomicrocirculation; II (9-15h)--development of disturbances in the aggregate state of blood; III (18-24h)--pronounced disturbances in hemomicrocirculation. Plasmapheresis at peritonitis facilitates: to better functioning of the microcirculatory system, namely, a sharp increasing of the blood flow rate, joining into the blood flow of capillaries that did not function previously and increasing functional capacity of the capillary bed; decreasing blood viscosity and aggregation of erythrocytes. Plasmapheresis applied at peritonitis produces a favourable effect to hemodynamics, evident as an increasing minute and stroke volume of the blood flow, cardiac index, the left ventricle activity and decrease in peripheral vascular resistance.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

The aim of the study is to test the influence of in vivo magnetostimulation on the rheological properties of blood in neurological patients. Blood circulation in the body depends both on the mechanical properties of the circulatory system and on the physical and physicochemical properties of blood. The main factors influencing the rheological properties of blood are as follows: hematocrit, plasma viscosity, whole-blood viscosity, red cells aggregability, deformability, and the ability of red cells to orient in the flow. The blood samples were collected from neurological patients with pain. Blood samples were collected twice from each patient, that is, before the magnetostimulation and immediately after the therapy. For each blood sample, the hematocrit value was measured using the standard method. Plasma viscosity and whole-blood viscosity were measured by means of a rotary-oscillating rheometer Contraves LS40. Magnetic field was generated by the instrument Viofor JPS® and the magnetostimulation treatments were performed using M1P2 and M1P3 programs. The analysis of the results included estimation of the hematocrit value (Hct), plasma viscosity (ηp), whole-blood viscosity and rheological parameters of Quemada’s model: k0, k, γc. Plasma viscosity values were obtained from the shear rate dependence of shear stress using the linear regression method. The results obtained in the study suggest that the blood rheological properties change in accord with applied magnetostimulation program.  相似文献
