Abstract: | Examination of 28 healthy subjects and 66 patients was performed using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) of the skin of fingers in the red and infrared ranges and wavelet analysis of microvascular blood flow oscillations. Formulas were suggested for the total (TF), nutritive (NF), and shunt (SF) local blood flows. TF = MI × Ac × An /(Pm × ), where MI is the microcirculation index in perfusion units (PU), An and Ac are the averaged maximum amplitudes of the neurogenic and cardiac rhythms (in PU), Pm is the mean arterial pressure (in mm Hg), and is the mean square deviation of the amplitude of blood flow oscillations (in PU). NF = TF/SP, where SP is the shunting parameter. SP = An/Am, where Am is the averaged maximum amplitude of the myogenic rhythm (in PU). SF = TF - NF. Significant positive relationships between the skin oxygenation and NF (red), temperature and TF (red), and blood flow measured by hydrogen clearance and TF (infrared) were revealed by comparison of the LDF parameters with polarographic and thermographic data. The advantages of the LDF parameters compared with the MI were shown, especially in skin denervation syndromes. The TF decreased in the case of complete anatomic rupture of the median nerve and increased in reflex sympathetic dystrophy, with both cases being accompanied by a deficit of the NF (red).Translated from Fiziologiya Cheloveka, Vol. 31, No. 1, 2005, pp. 114–119.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Krupatkin. |
