There is ongoing debate on the significance of capillary leukostasis for the manifestation of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced capillary “no-reflow”. Using intravital fluorescence microscopy, we studied leukocyte trafficking through the hepatic microvasculature and the relevance of sinusoidal leukostasis for nutritive perfusion failure in rats after hepatic I/R (n = 8). Sham-operated animals (n = 8) served as controls. Hepatic reperfusion was characterized by perfusion failure of individual sinusoids and a significant increase of sinusoidal leukostasis. However, in both nonischemic and postischemic livers, the major fraction of sinusoids presenting with stagnant leukocytes were found perfused (97 +/- 1 and 73 +/- 5%, respectively), whereas only 3 +/- 1 and 27 +/- 5% failed to conduct flow. Analysis of leukocyte trafficking in sinusoids with leukostasis revealed a marked reduction of leukocyte velocity and leukocyte flux in nonischemic and postischemic livers compared with sinusoids without leukostasis. Thus stagnant leukocytes retard cellular passage through hepatic sinusoids, probably due to an increase of flow resistance. However, the fact that during postischemic reperfusion > 70% of the sinusoids accommodating stagnant leukocytes are still perfused indicates that sinusoidal leukostasis per se does not necessarily determine perfusion failure ("no-reflow") after I/R of the liver.

Using intravital fluorescence microscopy in the ears of hairless mice, we determined skin microvascular adaptations during the process of aging from juvenile to adult and senescent life (6–78 wk). Despite an increase of ear area within the first 36 wk, the number and branching pattern of both arteriolar and venular microvessels remained constant during the whole life period. Both arterioles and venules exhibited an increase in length, diameter, and intervascular distance up to the age of 36 wk. With the increase of the size of the ears, the observation that cutaneous capillary density remained unchanged implied new capillary formation. During aging to 78 wk, capillary density in the ears was reduced to ∼40%. Functional analysis revealed an appropriate hyperemic response to a 2-min period of ischemia during late juvenile and adult life, which, however, was markedly reduced during senescence. Thus, except for capillaries, there is no indication for age-related new vessel formation. The process of aging from adult to senescent life does not cause any significant remodeling but is associated with a decrease of nutritive perfusion and a functional impairment to respond to stimuli such as ischemia.
