Systemic blood pressure (BP) is the product of cardiac output and total peripheral resistance. Cardiac output is controlled by the heart rate, myocardial contractility, preload, and afterload. Vascular resistance (vascular hindrance × viscosity) is under local autoregulation and general neurohumoral control through sympathetic adrenergic innervation and circulating catecholamines. Sympathetic innovation predominates in organs receivingflowin excess of their metabolic demands (skin, splanchnic organs, kidney), while innervation is poor and autoregulation predominates in the brain and heart. The distribution of blood flow depends on the relative resistances of the organ circulations. During stress (hypoxia, low cardiac output), a raise in adrenergic tone and in circulating catecholamines leads to preferential vasoconstriction in highly innervated organs, so that blood flow is directed to the brain and heart. Catecholamines also control the levels of the vasoconstrictors renin, angiotensin II, and vasopressin. These general principles also apply to the neonate.

The effects of 30° head-down and head-up tilting on mean systemic blood pressure, carotid blood flow, and heart rate were studied in 16 dogs under morphine and Nembutal anesthesia. The tilting procedure was further repeated after denervation of the carotid sinus and aortic arch baroreceptors and after administration of a dihydrogenated ergot alkaloid mixture (Hydergine). The results indicate that the drop in pressure in the head-down position is primarily due to baroreceptor activity and that the baroreceptors are necessary for compensatory vasoconstriction on head-up tilting. Carotid blood flow decreased in both tilted positions in the control animals; the possible relationship to cerebral blood flow is discussed.

Brain production of adenosine and its metabolites, inosine and hypoxanthine was determined in 46 rats during sustained (5 min) reduction in mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) caused by hemorrhage. Also measured were ATP, ADP, AMP, phosphocreatine (PCr), and lactate. Brain tissue was obtained by the freeze-blowing technique. Ventilation was controlled to maintain constant arterial O2 tension, CO2 tension, and pH. When MABP was decreased from 135 + 3 (SE) mmHg to 72 +/- 2 mmHg, within the range of cerebral autoregulation, brain adenosine concentration doubled from 0.55 +/- 0.12 to 1.16 +/- 0.13 nmol/g (P < 0.015). Unlike the changes in adenosine concentrations, adenine nucleotides and PCr remained stable. Lactate varied inversely with MABP. With moderate to severe hypotension (MABP = 45 +/- 3 mmHg), adenosine levels increased almost sixfold. The increment in brain adenosine concentration within the autoregulatory range supports a role for this potent dilator of pial vessels in the regulation of cerebral blood flow.

Abstract Assessment of the cerebral blood-flow-reserve in patients with cerebrovascular diseases is extremely important in terms of making prognosis, determining treatment tactics, and controlling the revascularization outcome in the case of reconstructive interventions on the brain vessels. However, there is no easy-to-use, contactless method for either assessing the functional reserve of the cortical vascular network or intraoperative monitoring of surgical intervention. Our study aims to demonstrate feasibility of green-light imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) to estimate cerebrovascular functional reserve in animal model of craniosurgical intervention. Custom-made iPPG system was exploited to visualize intracranial vessels in anesthetized Wistar rats (n = 15). Video frames of rat’s cortex were recorded concurrently with systemic blood pressure, end-tidal CO2, and electrocardiogram. We found that injection of dorzolamide (carbonic-anhydrase inhibitor) significantly increased the blood-pulsations amplitude in all animals by 35 ± 19% (p < 0.001). Such an increase negatively correlated with significant decrease in end-tidal CO2 by 32 ± 7% (p < 0.001). It is noteworthy that the dorzolamide injection did not lead to significant changes in systemic blood pressure. Concluding, pulsations amplitude is a marker of the vascular tone that can be used to evaluate the functional cerebrovascular reserve. Imaging PPG is a simple and convenient method to assess cerebral blood flow, including during various neurosurgical interventions.

Прогноз и тактика лечения инсульта зависят от его тяжести, которая задается достигнутым ишемическом порогом. Исследование механизмов формирования ишемических порогов является актуальной патофизиологической задачей. Целью настоящего исследования явилось получение данных для построения шкалы порогов ишемии мозга у крыс. Эксперименты проводили на наркотизированных беспородных крысах-самцах. Мозговой кровоток регистрировали лазерным допплеровским флоуметром ЛАКК-02 (Лазма, Россия). Контролируемую кровопотерю осуществляли через бедренную артерию. Фиксировали системное артериальное давление (АД), при котором в условиях медленной кровопотери регистрировалось пороговое значение мозгового кровотока. На основании полученных данных строилась шкала: системное АД - кровоток - пороги ишемии мозга. Prognosis and treatment of stroke depend on its severity, which is defined by the attained ischemic threshold. Studying the mechanisms underlying the formation of ischemic thresholds is an urgent pathophysiological task. The aim of this study was to obtain data for constructing a scale of cerebral ischemia thresholds in rats. Experiments were carried out on anesthetized mongrel male rats. Cerebral blood flow was recorded with a laser Doppler flowmeter, LAKK-02 (Lazma, Russia). Controlled blood loss was performed through the femoral artery. Systemic blood pressure, at which the threshold value of cerebral blood flow was attained, was recorded under the conditions of slow blood loss. Based on the obtained data the systemic blood pressure - blood flow - thresholds of cerebral ischemia scale was constructed.
