چکیده

The volume and fluid pressure characteristics of the intact bone marrow is incompletely understood. We used microspheres and lipoproteins for measurements of intravascular volume (IVV) and EDTA for interstitial fluid volume (IFV) within the rat bone marrow. Interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) was determined with micropipettes connected to a servo-controlled counter-pressure system. Both the microspheres and the lipoproteins yielded estimates of IVV of approximately 1 ml/100 g. After a brief reactive hyperemia, IVV increased to 2.5 ml/100 g, whereas IFV decreased with approximately 1.5 ml/100 g, so that total extracellular volume did not change. Baseline bone marrow IFP was 9.7 mmHg. The hyperemia led to a transient twofold increase in IFP, whereas a marked blood loss decreased IFP by almost one-half. These novel data suggest that extracellular volume and IFP within the bone marrow can be measured with tracer methods and the micropuncture technique. The responses of IVV, IFV, and IFP during changes in blood flow to the bone marrow suggest a tight regulation and are thus compatible with those for a low-compliant tissue.

Demonstration of altered signaling responses in bone marrow extracellular fluid during increased hematopoiesis in rats using a centrifugation method.

The composition and characteristics of the bone marrow extracellular fluid supposedly modify the transport of cytokines, drugs, and other signaling molecules involved in the regulation of bone marrow function. Direct access to the bone marrow extracellular fluid surrounding hematopoietic cells is complicated by the virtually noncompliant surrounding bone tissue. We examined the applicability of...

Mechanisms underlying the volume regulation of interstitial fluid by capillaries: a simulation study

BACKGROUND Control of the extracellular fluid volume is one of the most indispensable issues for homeostasis of the internal milieu. However, complex interdependence of the pressures involved in determination of fluid exchange makes it difficult to predict a steady-state tissue volume under various physiological conditions without mathematical approaches. METHODS Here, we developed a capillar...

Overview of Methods for Overcoming Hindrance to Drug Delivery to Tumors, with Special Attention to Tumor Interstitial Fluid

Every drug used to treat cancer (chemotherapeutics, immunological, monoclonal antibodies, nanoparticles, radionuclides) must reach the targeted cells through the tumor environment at adequate concentrations, in order to exert their cell-killing effects. For any of these agents to reach the goal cells, they must overcome a number of impediments created by the tumor microenvironment (TME), beginn...

Kidneys and fluids in pressure regulation. Small volume but large pressure changes.

The human body has multiple blood pressure control mechanisms, each of which serves a special and usually different role in pressure regulation. The nervous pressure controllers usually react within seconds and prevent major rapid changes in pressure when acute extraneous forces act on the circulatory system. Then, within minutes to hours, several intermediately acting pressure controllers beco...
