Introduction. Yoga breathing exercises improve the ability to significantly reduce the respiratory rate. A decrease of the minute respiration volume results in compensatory reactions of the microcirculatory bed caused by changes in the gas composition. The reaction of the regulatory mechanisms of the microvascular bed can be evaluated by the optical non-invasive laser Doppler flowmetry method. The aim of the study was to assess the tissue microcirculation parameter changes in people performing yoga breathing exercises. Materials and methods. 25 volunteers performed yoga breathing exercises at a frequency of 3 times per minute, 2 times per minute, 1.5 times per minute, 1 time per minute for 5 minutes, and free breathing for 6 minutes before and after breathing exercises. Parameters aimed to defin the reaction of skin microcirculation in different body areas were simultaneously recorded in six sites by laser Doppler flowmetry using a distributed system of wearable analyzers. The parameters of tissue microcirculation recorded by the method of laser Doppler flowmetry were: the index of microcirculation (Im), nutritive blood flow (Imn), the amplitude of myogenic (Am), neurogenic (An), endothelial (Ae), respiratory (Ar) and cardiac (Ac) regulation circuits. Results. Yoga breathing exercises led to increase of microcirculation index at all breathing frequencies. Breathing at a frequency of 1.5 and 1/minute leads to a significant increase in nutritional blood flow. Low-frequency breathing exercises lead to an increase in blood pressure at the lowest breathing rates – 1.5/minute and 1/minute. The most significant changes were achieved at the lowest respiration rates (1 and 1.5/minute), that could be associated with hypoxic-hypercapnic mechanisms. Conclusion. The absence of significant changes in microcirculation parameters after low-frequency respiration during measurements in the supraorbital arteries in both groups characterizes the work of homeostatic mechanisms for maintaining brain perfusion in stressful situations for the body (low-frequency types of respiration, hypercapnia and hypoxia). When measured in the extremities, a change in the effect of the circulatory system regulatory mechanisms was observed; along with an increase in skin perfusion and the nutritional component, it can characterize the compensatory reaction of the microcirculation to respiration change.

Novel, non-invasive wearable laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) devices measure real-time blood circulation of the left middle fingertip and the topside of the wrist of the left hand. The LDF signals are simultaneously recorded for fingertip and wrist. The amplitude of blood flow signals and wavelet analysis of the signal are used for the analysis of blood perfusion parameters. The aim of this pilot study is to validate the accuracy of blood circulation measurements recorded by one such non-invasive wearable LDF device for healthy young non-smokers and smokers. This study reveals a higher level of blood perfusion in the non-smoker group compared to the smoker group and vice-versa for the variation of pulse frequency. This result can be useful to assess the sensitivity of the wearable LDF sensor in determining the effect of nicotine for smokers as compared to non-smokers and also the blood microcirculation in smokers with different pathologies.

Background: Prostanoids are used in the treatment of Raynaud’s phenomenon and acral perfusion disorders secondary to collagenosis. In subjective terms, intravenous administration of these agents produces success in more than 50% of patients. The therapeutic outcome of clinical administration of alprostadil or iloprost may vary from individual to individual. Patients and methods: The following variables were analysed in a cross-over study in 27 patients with collagenosis and Raynaud’s phenomenon: plasma viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation (rheological variables), partial pressure of oxygen and laser Doppler flowmetry in the finger region, and lymphocyte phenotyping and interleukin (IL) determinations (immunological variables). Results: Laser Doppler flowmetry revealed significant differences between patients with secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon and a control group of 25 healthy subjects. Laser Doppler readings did not change significantly as a result of the treatments. Therapy with iloprost produced a reduction in IL-1beta, L-selectin (CD 62 L) and IL-6. Conclusion: The change in immunological variables due to iloprost may explain the long-term effects of prostaglandins in the treatment of Raynaud’s phenomenon. From our results it is not possible to infer any preference for iloprost or alprostadil.

Relevance. Morpho-functional changes in peripheral circulation established in type 1 diabetes mellitus correlate with changes in central hemodynamics, allowing the use of microcirculation indicators as diagnostic and prognostic criteria for assessing the degree of functional vascular disorders. Identifcation of microcirculation features of the blood by the method of laser Doppler flowmetry in children with different experience of type 1 diabetes in key age categories.Materials and methods. The study included 67 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus aged 12-15 years with an experience of the disease from six months to ten years. The comparison group consisted of 38 healthy children. The state of the microvasculature was assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry using a laser analyzer for capillary blood flow LAKK-OP.Results. In children with an experience of type 1 diabetes of less than two years, microcirculation disorders in periodontal tissues correspond to the hyperemic form, accompanied by increased perfusion, a decrease in the amplitude of low-frequency oscillations, increased heart rate, high blood flling, and blood flow bypass. For children with an endocrinopathy experience of more than three years, microcirculation disorders correspond to a stagnant form, combined with a decrease in perfusion due to stagnation of blood in the venular link, endothelial domination with suppression of neurogenic and cardiac fluctuations, low efciency and redistribution of blood flow in favor of the nutritive link.Conclusions. With the increase in experience, the degree of compensation of type 1 diabetes, the progression of diabetic microangiopathy, it is advisable to designate two stages of development of microcirculatory disorders. Early – compensatory with active adaptation, including neurogenic and endothelial regulation mechanisms. Late – decompensation with passive adaptation, supporting the effectiveness of microcirculation due to myogenic control of regulation, shunting and increasing the rate of blood outflow.
