Postischemic recovery of energy metabolism was imaged by ATP-induced bioluminescence, and regional tissue pH and electrolyte content was measured in regions with and without metabolic recovery. In areas with postischemic restitution of metabolic activity, sodium gradually rose from 338 +/- 17 to 488 +/- 28 mumol/g protein and calcium from 8.81 +/- 0.35 to 18.24 +/- 0.97 mumol/g protein.

With the recent introduction of in vivo NMR imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS), it is now possible to evaluate the consequences of strokes and to monitor the effects of therapeutic interventions in animals with the same methodology as in humans. The appearance and evolution of brain infarcts in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), were detected with MRI. In coronal sections through the rat brain, regions with increased MRI signal started to become discernible after 6 h and turned out to be largely necrotic already after 24 h, as revealed by histology. The location (fronto-parietal cortex, caudate-putamen) and total infarct size, as determined from MR images or histology, were highly reproducible. Posttreatment with the dihydropyridine calcium antagonist isradipine (PN 200-110), at a daily dose of 3 X 0.3 mg/kg sc, reduced the total infarct size by 30-40%, determined by quantitative MRI and confirmed by histology. Biochemical markers of necrosis, such as the increased brain wet wt, the levels of sodium, potassium, dopamine, and noradrenaline, were changed toward normal values. The functional consequences of these morphological effects of isradipine were reflected by the parallel improvement of a neurological score. Follow-up observations made by MRI and histology indicated that the morphological differences between treated and control animals were still present to the same extent after 2 wk and, therefore, seem to be permanent. In order to elucidate the putative mechanisms involved, the influence of calcium antagonists on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and high energy phosphates (HEPs) was investigated. CBF was measured quantitatively with [14C] iodoantipyrine in MCA-occluded SHRs. Although isradipine had no effect on CBF in the contralateral hemisphere, at a dose reducing infarct size, it increased the reduced blood flow in the lesioned hemisphere toward normal values. HEPs (PCr and ATP) as well as inorganic phosphate (Pi) and intracellular pH were measured noninvasively in the rat brain by 31P MRS using a surface coil. Under normal conditions, calcium antagonists had no effect on these parameters.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)</p>","PeriodicalId":77753,"journal":{"name":"Neurochemical pathology","volume":"9 ","pages":"211-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/BF03160363","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14205731","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}

Therefore, an in vitro model to study glial swelling mechanisms, using C6 glial cells under controlled extracellular conditions, has been established. Flow cytometry serves to determine even small cell volume changes. In this report, the effects of anoxia and acidosis on glial swelling are summarized. Anoxia alone, or in combination with iodoacetate to inhibit anaerobic glycolysis, did not cause an increase of glial volume for up to 2 h. Acidification of the incubation medium below pH 6.8, on the other hand, was immediately followed by cell swelling to 115% of normal. Amiloride or the absence of bicarbonate and Na+ in the medium significantly reduced glial swelling. The data support the contention that swelling results from an activation of the Na+/H+-antiporter to control intracellular pH. It is suggested that swelling in an ischemic penumbra is promoted by this mechanism.

Furthermore, putrescine was already considerably increased in the CA1-subfield of the hippocampus of gerbils after 8 h recirculation, i.e., at a time when the cells are still intact.

Prevention or reduction of reactive hyperemia results in significant amelioration of edema and the resulting ischemic brain tissue injury. The post-ischemic hypoperfusion, studied in gerbils, develops soon after recirculation and usually lasts up to 6 h. Its relationship to post-ischemic edema is evident in repeated ischemic insults. In these studies, three ischemic insults of 5 min duration when applied at 1 h intervals, i.e., during the period of hypoperfusion, resulted in a cumulative effect, post-ischemic edema and tissue injury becoming considerably more pronounced that those following a single 15 min ischemia. There was no cumulative effect when the ischemic insults were spaced 3 min or longer than 6 h apart.
