چکیده
PURPOSE To demonstrate the application of Mescher-Garwood (MEGA) point-resolved spectroscopy sequence (PRESS) editing to the detection of lactate in the brain at 3T and to investigate changes in lactate concentration associated with inspiratory gas challenges. MATERIALS AND METHODS Edited lactate measurements were made in six healthy volunteers while the subjects breathed normoxic (21% O(2)), hypoxic (12% O(2)), and hyperoxic (40% O(2)) gas mixtures. Lactate concentration was quantified relative to the unsuppressed water signal from the same volume. RESULTS Lactate concentration was elevated in all subjects during hypoxia in a highly significant fashion (mean increase = 39%; P = 0.0003). There was no significant change seen in hyperoxia. CONCLUSION MEGA-PRESS editing at 3T is sufficiently sensitive to detect lactate in the healthy brain with good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and can be used to investigate changes in cerebral metabolism arising during inspiratory gas challenges.

Simulating NIRS and MRS Measurements During Cerebral Hypoxia-Ischaemia in Piglets Using a Computational Model
We present a group analysis of the changes in cerebral haemodynamics, and the oxidation state of cytochrome-c-oxidase measured using broadband near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and intracellular pH measured by phosphorous ((31)P) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) during and after cerebral hypoxia-ischaemia (HI) in 15 piglets. We use a previously published computational model of cerebral met...
متن کاملQuantification of Fetal Brain Lactate with Mr Spectroscopy
Introduction. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been used to measure cerebral lactate levels in a range of human populations, from elderly stroke patients to pre-term neonates. Although MRS has demonstrated elevated lactate in the sheep fetal brain during hypoxic injury [1] there is little evidence of its application to the measurement of fetal cerebal lactate in humans. The aim of this...
متن کاملComputational modelling of the piglet brain to simulate near-infrared spectroscopy and magnetic resonance spectroscopy data collected during oxygen deprivation
We describe a computational model to simulate measurements from near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in the piglet brain. Piglets are often subjected to anoxic, hypoxic and ischaemic insults, as experimental models for human neonates. The model aims to help interpret measurements and increase understanding of physiological processes occurring during such i...
متن کاملLactate efflux from exercising human skeletal muscle: role of intracellular PO2.
It remains controversial whether lactate formation during progressive dynamic exercise from submaximal to maximal effort is due to muscle hypoxia. To study this question, we used direct measures of arterial and femoral venous lactate concentration, a thermodilution blood flow technique, phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and myoglobin (Mb) saturation measured by 1H nuclear MRS in...

Introduction: Increased serum lactate is seen during surgery due to tissue hypoxia. There have been reports of propofol infusion syndrome due to long-term use of this drug, especially in intensive care patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the factors affecting serum lactate levels in patients under general anesthesia with propofol in spine surgery. Methods: In a cross-sectional study...
