Abstract:The pressure-flow (P-Q) curve has been widely used in many studies to describe the effects of various factors on vascular hemodynamics. It is not clear, however, whether unilateral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) alters the P-Q curve of the rat lung. In this study, we developed an in vivo P-Q curve using the unilateral (left) rat lung before and after IR. Animals were divided into two groups: sham and IR. The protocol of the IR group consisted of three periods: baseline, ischemia, and reperfusion. P-Q curves were obtained by altering blood flow of the left lung during the baseline and the reperfusion periods. The sham group received the same operation without IR procedure. An additional group was used to compare pulmonary blood flow measured by the microsphere and the ultrasonic methods. IR treatment rotated the P-Q curve toward the left, indicating an increase in resistance in the left lung. However, this rotation was not found in the sham group. A significant correlation (r = 0.87, P < 0.01) between percentages of blood flow obtained by the microsphere and ultrasonic methods in both right and left lungs was demonstrated. Therefore, we demonstrated a simple and useful technique to evaluate changes in the P-Q curves caused by IR in the unilateral rat lung model.
