{"title":"Blood velocity measurement in human conjunctival vessels.","authors":"Harvey N. Mayrovitz,&nbsp;Donald Larnard,&nbsp;Gloria Duda","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The bulbar conjunctiva is one of the few areas in which blood flow in the peripheral vasculature can be directly and noninvasively observed in the human. Although extensive literature exists describing morphological changes which correlate with a variety of systemic diseases in this vasculature, little quantitative data is available on hemodynamics in either normal or abnormal states. The hemodynamic data available are primarily subjective assessments of \"low flow.\" Approaches to place the subjective assessment on more quantitative grounds have usually been based on photographic techniques that have intrinsic inadequacies. The objective of the work reported here was to develop a system capable of providing sequential blood velocity data potentially useful for providing quantitative information on blood flow and its change in the microvessels of the human conjunctiva. The method that has evolved uses a standard Zeiss slit-lamp to image a subject's conjunctival vessels by using a 1-inch Newvicon TV camera with an electronic magnification of 2x. The video image is simultaneously recorded on a video tape recorder (VTR) to an overall system magnification of approximately 4 microm/raster line. The data acquisition phase requires approximately 5 minutes of patient time, whereas the actual determination of blood velocity in individual vessels is done offline through a modification of the dual-slit videodensimetric method. Two independently controllable video cursors are placed axially over the vessel image with the VTR in the still-frame mode. For each consecutive video field, the position of two reference points on the vessel and the position of each cursor relative to these and to each other are encoded into a computer to track the moving image caused by normal eye movement. The computer then determines new cursor coordinates to ensure a constant position within the vessel. The electrical signals obtained for each cursor site and for each video field are cross-correlated to yield the average blood velocity over the sampled time interval. The system has been calibrated in vitro from 0.2 to 2.5 mm/sec, evaluated in experimental animals, and used to measure blood velocity (0.3 to 1.5 mm/sec) in human conjunctival venules with diameters ranging from 20 to 50 microm. At this writing, blood velocity has been recorded during a period of about 3 months in the same vessel of several postmyocardial infarction patients. Thus, the method appears suitable for determining sequential changes in small vessel blood flow in patients over extended periods of time.</p>","PeriodicalId":84396,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular diseases","volume":"8 4","pages":"509-526"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC287990/pdf/cardiodis00004-0049.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24582016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pathologic evidence that bronchial arterial circulation was interrupted led us to hypothesize that pulmonary edema could be due to ischemia of the bronchial circulation. To test this hypothesis, two chronic studies were done in dogs. The first study consisted of selective ligation of the right posterior bronchial artery at its origin at the fifth or sixth intercostal artery. After recovery from surgery, biopsies were taken from the ipsilateral and contralateral lung at time periods from 5 hours to 11 days. Ischemic damage was found in seven of eight dogs (87.5%), and was confined to the right lung. Histological examination revealed initial congestion within 8 hours, followed by pulmonary edema within 72 hours, and finally, disruption of alveolar septa with small emphysematous bullae on the eleventh postoperative day. The left lung remained normal in histological appearance. The second study consisted of transplanting the bronchial artery to the pulmonary artery to create a low pressure system and low O(2) content, and to simulate a regional shock situation. In five of six dogs (83.3%), the anastomosis was occluded within 72 hours, probably due to pressure competition from small collateral bronchial circulation. However, in these five dogs, pulmonary vascular resistance increased by 53%, intrapulmonary shunting increased by 83%, and the alveolar-to-arterial oxygen gradient increased by 150 mm Hg. Pulmonary edema was again confined to the right lung. Bronchial arteriograms demonstrated the extensive and variable distribution of the bronchial circulation in dogs. In the sixth dog, the anastomosis remained patent with a left-to-right shunt, due to a larger bronchial arterial collateral circulation. In this animal, the pulmonary arterial resistance, intrapulmonary shunting, and alveolar-arterial O(2) gradient were normal. Pulmonary edema was absent in lung biopsies. Bronchial circulation is discussed with respect to its clinical implications for lung transplants, shock, thoracic aneurysms, and mediastinal surgery. The results of this study suggest that the systemic bronchial circulation is important for normal lung function.</p>","PeriodicalId":84396,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular diseases","volume":"8 4","pages":"480-498"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC287986/pdf/cardiodis00004-0020.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24582187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
