In 40 urethane-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats, computer-aided LDF scanning coupled with a microscope generated diaphragmatic blood flow (Qdi) ranging between 94 and 944 mV with the frequency histogram displaying non-Gaussian distributions. A sampling technique was used to assess the number of measuring sites required for valid estimates of the regional diaphragmatic microvascular flow. From a total of 1,000 Qdi values, random samples of sizes between 5 and 100 were repeatedly drawn to estimate the variability of median flow. Our data shows that the 95th percentile decreased gradually, from a +30% error at n = 5 down to +20% at n = 15-20, remained between +20 and +15% up to n = 35, and reached +10% at n = 50. Moreover, by expressing the precision level of measurements as the length of a 95% confidence interval (beta), a linear relationship between beta values obtained either by the sampling method or repeated measures analysis of variance can be shown (r = 0.902, p < 0.001); beta values by either method were within +/-20% error of the mean values at sample sizes above n = 15. It is therefore recommended that for microscope-guided LDF scanning in the assessment of the distribution of diaphragmatic microvascular blood flow, at least 15 repeated measurements should be done to reach an acceptable standard level of precision.

The total duration for experimentation was 5 h in order to mimic the controls used previously for a 4-hour ischemia and 1-hour reperfusion model which was equilibrated with room air. Responsiveness of third-order (3A) arterioles with resting vasomotor tone (VT) was assessed to topically applied 10(-2) to 10(-6) M acetylcholine (ACh) or sodium nitroprusside (NP) using a suffusate PO2 of 25-30 mm Hg. ACh (10(-4) M) or NP (10(-6) M) were retested at this Po2 in 3A arterioles with norepinephrine (NE) (10(-6) M)-enhanced VT. Results were compared against those using room air to increase VT. No dose-response relationships were demonstrated for ACh or NP in resting conditions. Moreover, our current and former responses were maximal and of a lesser magnitude than those reported by others using room air. All doses except 10(-4) or 10(-6) M ACh, or 10(-6) M NP, also severely depressed systemic arterial blood pressure. Enhancement of VT by 29% resulted in a 3-fold greater dilation to 10(-4) M ACh or 10(-6) M NP. The relative increase in volumetric blood flow (Q) to ACh or NP was 5.3-5.7 times greater than with resting VT. However, there were no differences in the absolute maximal values attained for internal diameter (D) or Q between drugs. The times to peak response and recovery were accelerated for Q but not D in NE-preconstricted arterioles, and the relative increases in D were less than reported by others after equilibration with room air. At both levels of tone, topical administration of NE at the end of each experiment caused similar decreases in D and Q, while mean centerline cellular velocity, wall shear rate (WSR), and VT were found to increase. These results suggested that the relative increases in D and Q were due to NE-induced decreases in absolute predrug baselines, while both the depressed VT and peak responses in D were caused by a fall in vasoreactivity. Po2 did not appear to be a factor attenuating endothelium-dependent responses, since ACh was equipotent to NP in resting or NE-preconstricted arterioles at physiological suffusate Po2 or in cremaster flaps equilibrated with room air. Therefore, either NE at physiological suffusate Po2 or room air appears acceptable for elevating initial VT/WSR when examining the endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent mechanisms regulating physiological (dilator) tone and perfusion in 3A arterioles.</p>","PeriodicalId":14035,"journal":{"name":"International journal of microcirculation, clinical and experimental","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000179218","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20214764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
