Blood flow was examined in sciatic nerves of pentobarbital-anesthetized rats by means of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and intravenous [14C]iodoantipyrine infusion. Continuous LDF signals demonstrated slow oscillations and acute, pressure-related changes in flow. The steady-state LDF signal was related linearly to nerve blood flow, as measured with [14C]iodoantipyrine, in intact nerves and nerves stripped of the epineurium. In 14 intact nerves, nerve blood flow averaged 0.27 +/- 0.03 (SE) ml X min-1 X g-1, whereas it averaged 0.13 +/- 0.01 in 5 stripped nerves. Autoradiographs of [3H]-nicotine-infused nerves and intra-arterial injection of 57Co-labeled microspheres demonstrated that flow was not uniform throughout the nerve cross section. The results indicate that LDF can be used to examine nerve blood flow in vivo, demonstrate a linear relation between the LDF signal and flow, and establish absolute values for blood flow in intact and stripped nerves of the anesthetized rat.

BACKGROUNDTumour vascularisation is a determinant of the development of metastases.AIMSTo measure blood flow in normal stomach and gastric adenocarcinomas by laser Doppler flowmetry and correlate blood flow with vascularisation after immunohistochemical staining of resected specimens for CD31 and von Willebrand factor.PATIENTSTwenty two undergoing resection for gastric adenocarcinoma and 10 undergoing cholecystectomy.RESULTSMean (SD) gastric blood flow was 208 (35) perfusion units (PU) in patients undergoing cholecystectomy and 190 (75) PU in the undiseased part of the stomach in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. Gastric blood flow was higher in the border of gastric adenocarcinomas (322 (120) PU, p<0.01 v normal stomach) but lower in the centre (74 (27) PU, p<0.01 v normal stomach and tumour border). Blood flow was higher in tumours staged T⩾3 than in those staged T<3. Blood vessel density in normal stomach was 41 (8) stained cells/field viewed and was 1.9–3.4 times higher in gastric adenocarcinomas.CONCLUSIONLaser Doppler flowmetry is a valuable tool for studying the pathophysiological alterations of malignant blood flow in the human stomach in vivo.

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.
