One the one hand, capillary permeability to water is a well-defined concept in microvascular physiology, and linearly relates the net convective or diffusive mass fluxes (by unit area) to the differences in pressure or concentration, respectively, that drive them through the vessel wall. On the other hand, the permeability coefficient is a central parameter introduced when modeling diffusible tracers transfer from blood vessels to tissue in the framework of compartmental models, in such a way that it is implicitly considered as being identical to the capillary permeability. Despite their simplifying assumptions, such models are at the basis of blood flow quantification by H215O Positron Emission Tomography. In the present paper, we use fluid dynamic modeling to compute the transfers of H215O between the blood and brain parenchyma at capillary scale. The analysis of the so-obtained kinetic data by the Renkin-Crone model, the archetypal compartmental model, demonstrates that, in this framework, ...

Introduction: Early recognition of viable myocardium is of great clinical importance after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-CMR) has been validated extensively for the detection of viability. An alternative method for detecting viability is the perfusable tissue index (PTI), a positron emission tomography (PET) derived parameter, which is inversely related to the extent of myocardial scar (nonperfusable tissue).. Aims: To investigate the predictive value of PTI on recovery of LV function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for AMI.. Methods: Twenty-six patients with AMI successfully treated by PCI were included. Subjects were examined one week and three months after AMI with [15O]H2O PET and DCE-CMR to assess PTI, regional function and scar. Viability was defined as recovery of systolic wall thickening (SWT) ≥ 3.0 mm at follow-up.. Results: A total of 396 segments were available for serial analysis. At baseline, 166 ...

Over the entire MBF range (0.66-4.7 ml/min/g), concordance was excellent for MBF (r = 0.90, [(82)Rb-(15)O-water] mean difference ± SD = 0.04 ± 0.66 ml/min/g, LoA = -1.26 to 1.33 ml/min/g, ρ(c) = 0.88) and MFR (range 1.79-5.81, r = 0.83, mean difference = 0.14 ± 0.58, LoA = -0.99 to 1.28, ρ(c) = 0.82). Hyperaemic MBF was reduced in CAD patients compared with the subset of 11 control subjects (2.53 ± 0.74 vs. 3.62 ± 0.68 ml/min/g, p = 0.002, for (15)O-water; 2.53 ± 1.01 vs. 3.82 ± 1.21 ml/min/g, p = 0.013, for (82)Rb) and this was paralleled by a lower MFR (2.65 ± 0.62 vs. 3.79 ± 0.98, p = 0.004, for (15)O-water; 2.85 ± 0.91 vs. 3.88 ± 0.91, p = 0.012, for (82)Rb). Myocardial perfusion was homogeneous in 1,114 of 1,122 segments (99.3%) and there were no differences in MBF among the coronary artery territories (p , 0.31 ...

Hypoxia increases cerebral blood flow (CBF), but it is unknown whether this increase is uniform across all brain regions. We used H215O positron emission tomography imaging to measure absolute blood flow in 50 regions of interest across the human brain (n = 5) during normoxia and moderate hypoxia. PCO2 was kept constant (44 Torr) throughout the study to avoid decreases in CBF associated with the hypocapnia that normally occurs with hypoxia. Breathing was controlled by mechanical ventilation. During hypoxia (inspired PO2 = 70 Torr), mean end-tidal PO2 fell to 45 ᠶ.3 Torr (means ᠓D). Mean global CBF increased from normoxic levels of 0.39 ᠰ.13 to 0.45 ᠰ.13 ml/g during hypoxia. Increases in regional CBF were not uniform and ranged from 9.9 ᠸ.6% in the occipital lobe to 28.9 ᠱ0.3% in the nucleus accumbens. Regions of interest that were better perfused during normoxia generally showed a greater regional CBF response. Phylogenetically older regions of the brain tended to show larger ...

A Val66Met single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene impairs activity-dependent BDNF release in cultured hippocampal neurons and predicts impaired memory and exaggerated basal hippocampal activity in healthy humans. Several clinical genetic association studies along with multi-modal evidence for hippocampal dysfunction in schizophrenia indirectly suggest a relationship between schizophrenia and genetically determined BDNF function in the hippocampus. To directly test this hypothesized relationship, we studied 47 medication-free patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and 74 healthy comparison individuals with genotyping for the Val66Met SNP and [15O]H2O positron emission tomography (PET) to measure resting and working memory-related hippocampal regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). In patients, harboring a Met allele was associated with significantly less hippocampal rCBF. This finding was opposite to the genotype effect seen in healthy

am to the input series of rainfall and associated oxygen-18 content from one storm. The candidate system components were bounded and unbounded water storages with first-order water flow dynamics, and bounded storages with zero-order dynamics. The upper limits on the bounded storages allow for nonlinearities in flow processes. The dynamic effect on transport of the isotopic tracer was assumed to be due to perfect mixing within each of the water storage components. The model was implemented on spreadsheet software in the form of difference equations and logical expressions. Analysis of the rainfall and streamflow data showed that the hydrometric response could be simulated with one bounded (8.5 mm) zero-order storage to account for initial rainfall loss, followed by a bounded (25.6 mm) and an unbounded first-order storage in parallel. However, this model provided insufficient attenuation of the oxygen-18 signal. Satisfactory simulation of oxygen-18 in the stream was achieved by including a bounded ...

Introduction: Quantitative myocardial blood flow (MBF) obtained via Rb82 PET/CT using regadenoson provides the ability to assess ischemia through analysis of stress MBF and coronary flow reserve (CFR), the augmentation of flow expressed as a stress/rest ratio. It is unknown to what extent, if any, age-related changes in arteries (i.e. arterial stiffening, atherosclerosis) impact MBF and, thus, the interpretation of ischemia.. Hypothesis: MBF values change as a function of age and impact PET interpretation.. Methods: Patients who underwent PET/CT from May 2013 to April 2015 with normal perfusion images and no history of PCI or CABG were included (n=3329, 1720 women, 1498 men). Rest MBF, stress MBF, and CFR) (mL/min/g) were recorded in all vessels separated by gender and by age ,60 or ≥60. Analysis was conducted on individual vessels and global estimates were calculated averaging all vessels. Estimated average median differences between age ,60 and ≥60 were adjusted for traditional ...

Oxygen-16 (16O) is a stable isotope of oxygen, having 8 neutrons and 8 protons in its nucleus. It has a mass of 15.99491461956 u. Oxygen-16 is the most abundant isotope of oxygen and accounts for 99.762% of oxygens natural abundance. The relative and absolute abundance of 16O are high because it is a principal product of stellar evolution and because it is a primordial isotope, meaning it can be made by stars that were initially made exclusively of hydrogen. Most 16O is synthesized at the end of the helium fusion process in stars; the triple-alpha process creates 12C, which captures an additional 4He to make 16O. The neon-burning process creates additional 16O. ...

We used H(2)15O positron emission tomography (PET) to measure age-related changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during a verbal recognition memory task. Twelve young adults (20 to 29 years) and 12 older adults (62 to 79 years) participated. Separate PET scans were conducted during Encoding, Baseline, and Retrieval conditions. Each of the conditions involved viewing a series of 64 words and making a two-choice response manually. The complete reaction time (RT) distributions in each task condition were characterized in terms of an ex-Gaussian model (convolution of exponential and Gaussian functions). Parameter estimates were obtained for the mean of the exponential component (tau), representing a task-specific decision process and the mean of the Gaussian component (mu) representing residual sensory coding and response processes. Independently of age group, both tau and mu were higher in the Encoding and Retrieval conditions than in the Baseline condition, and tau was higher during ...

In an interesting study published in a recent issue of Heart, Rosen and colleagues26 provide new insights into the neural mechanisms responsible for enhanced cardiac pain perception in syndrome X. They performed dynamic H215O positron emission tomography to map regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in eight syndrome X patients (six females) and in eight sex and age matched healthy controls. rCBF was evaluated at rest and during echocardiographic dobutamine stress test; the results were also compared with those obtained in a group of historical patients with stable angina and coronary artery disease (CAD) (n = 9, two females). No control subject developed chest pain or ECG changes during dobutamine infusion. In contrast, all syndrome X patients developed typical anginal pain and ST segment depression, in the absence of detectable left ventricular wall motion abnormalities. rCBF distribution showed significant differences between syndrome X patients and controls, mainly consisting of an increased ...

BACKGROUND: Positron emission tomography scanners with retractable septa allow both 3-dimensional (3D) and 2-dimensional (2D) acquisition modes. The study aim was to directly compare 2D and 3D acquisition modes for the evaluation of absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF) over a wide range of flow values. METHODS AND RESULTS: Instrumentation was used in 4 dogs to reduce the left circumflex artery lumen by greater than 75%. During infusion of adenosine, MBF was measured with both 2D and 3D dynamic acquisition and both oxygen 15 water and nitrogen 13 ammonia. Injected activities were 333 MBq and 111 MBq for 2D acquisition and 3D acquisition, respectively. Data were reconstructed by analytic methods, and MBF was assessed by use of an 18-segment model. MBF values ranged from 0.4 to 5.8 mL x g(-1) x min(-1) with O-15 water and from 0.3 to 3.9 mL x g(-1) x min(-1) with N-13 ammonia. No significant differences were observed in absolute MBF values obtained with the 2 acquisition modes, regardless of the ...

Introduction: No screening procedures exist for evaluating stroke risk in adults with sickle cell anemia (SCA). Reduced oxygen carrying capacity is present in SCA, which may initially be compensated for by an increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and then by increased oxygen extraction fraction (OEF).. Hypothesis: OEF and CBF can be measured noninvasively and reproducibly with MRI using clinically-available equipment in adults with SCA; elevated OEF provides added discriminatory capacity for clinical impairment relative to vasculopathy extent and CBF alone.. Methods: Structural, CBF-weighted, and MRA imaging, together with a noninvasive OEF-weighted T2-relaxation-under-spin-tagging (TRUST)-MRI method was applied in SCA adults (n=26) and race and age-matched controls (n=11). A Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to evaluate mean differences between SCA and control parameters. Linear regression assessed how elevated OEF correlated with increasing clinical impairment defined by presence of infarct, ...

Rationale: Regional lung function depends on the amount of capillary blood that interfaces with alveolar air, and both parameters dynamically change during the respiratory cycle. Although the spatial distribution of regional blood (Vb) and gas (Vg) within the lung has previously been assessed by different techniques, the dynamic changes of these parameters during the respiratory cycle have not been directly quantified.. Methods: We used K-edge subtraction synchrotron CT imaging and a post-gating reconstruction sequence to quantitatively image regional Vg, tissue density and Vb in 6 anaesthetized healthy and mechanically ventilated rabbits. Images were repeatedly collected during ventilation and steady-state inhalation of 70% Xe, or iodine infusion. Data were acquired in 2 different axial chest positions, PEEP, VT and breathing patterns. Regional Vg and Vb were calculated from xenon and iodine distributions, respectively.. Results: A video of the dynamic changes in gas and blood volume during the ...

We have described the biotransformation of the novel biaryl ether compound, VU0409106, in hepatic S9 and hepatocytes of multiple species. The discovery that rat, monkey, and human metabolized VU0409106 in an NADPH-independent manner through a primary pathway in vitro in hepatic S9 indicated a likely contribution of a molybdenum hydroxylase in the metabolism of this novel mGlu5 NAM. Indeed, the collective use of cofactor manipulation (S9 incubations) and selective inhibitors implicated AO and XO in the biotransformation of VU0409106 to the oxidized metabolite M1 in rat and human (Scheme 1). Furthermore, the absence of M1 formation in dog hepatic S9 fractions implicated the involvement of AOX1, a protein absent in dogs (Garattini and Terao, 2012). Of importance, the use of 18O-labeled water in S9 experiments provided additional evidence for the role of AO and/or XO in the biotransformation of VU0409106 because MS/MS data indicated the incorporation of an 18O atom on the pyrimidine moiety of M1 as ...

Biomimetic models of microvasculature could enable assays of complex cellular behavior at the capillary-level, and enable efficient nutrient perfusion for the maintenance of tissues. However, existing three-dimensional printing methods for generating perfusable microvasculature with have insufficient resolution to recapitulate the microscale geometry of capillaries. Here, we present a collection of multiphoton microfabrication methods that enable the production of precise, three-dimensional, branched microvascular networks in collagen. When endothelial cells are added to the channels, they form perfusable lumens with diameters as small as 10 μm. Using a similar photochemistry, we also demonstrate the micropatterning of proteins embedded in microfabricated collagen scaffolds, producing hybrid scaffolds with both defined microarchitecture with integrated gradients of chemical cues. We provide examples for how these hybrid microfabricated scaffolds could be used in angiogenesis and cell homing ...

TY - JOUR AU - Zečević, S.K. AU - Dražić, Dragutin M. AU - Gojković, Snežana PY - 1991 UR - http://TechnoRep.tmf.bg.ac.rs/handle/123456789/30 AB - The kinetics of hydrogen peroxide reduction were studied on iron in borate buffered and unbuffered solutions of pH ranging from 8.6 to 13.8, with and without the presence of chloride ions. A rotating disk electrode was employed. Measurements were taken using the linear sweep technique and the potential step steady-state technique. The H2O2 reduction on iron under these conditions was found to occur on the oxidized surfaces. The E-j polarization curves showed a significant hysteresis which is due to oxide film formation. On less oxidized and/or prereduced surfaces the H2O2 reduction was found to be faster than on more oxidized and/or prepassive surfaces. The reaction order with respect to H2O2 was found to be one. The rate determining step most likely involves the transfer of the first electron to the molecular H2O2. The ionic peroxide form HO-2 ...

Confectioners are masters of the materials science of sugar. By carefully controlling the type, concentration, and especially the temperature of various sugars, an expert candy-maker can produce a dizzying array of different sweets. Now, Jordan Miller and fellow bioengineers have taken a page out of the confectioners book, blending food science, materials science, and biology to tackle a persistent challenge in tissue engineering: the need for vascular networks in engineered tissues. Without perfusable vascular networks, three-dimensional (3D) engineered tissues cannot survive. In the approach described by Miller et al., a sacrificial network of filaments with diameters of 150 to 750 μm was created by using carbohydrate glasses and a 3D printer-in effect, a carefully engineered and precisely organized candy. These networks could then be surrounded by different cell-laden biomaterials or biopolymers and dissolved away to generate engineered tissues with a network of open, interconnected ...
