A technique for the microscopic study of blood vessels in living striated muscle (cremaster).
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique is described whereby it is possible to study the vessels of a striated muscle (the rat cremaster) in vivo. In the anesthetized rat, a part of the scrotal skin is excised; the cremaster muscle is exposed and studied by epi-illumination. To improve the optical conditions, a white reflecting surface is brought behind the cremaster through the inguinal canal. Twitching of the muscle may be prevented by the use of a neuromuscular blocking agent. It is also possible to study the blood vessels of the fascia overlying the cremaster. The method may also be applied to the rabbit; it is recommended for shortterm studies in which topographic requirements prevail. Its advantages and limitations are discussed. ADDITIONAL

Arteriolar control of capillary cell flow in striated muscle.
This study tests the hypothesis that capillary perfusion is controlled in groups rather than at the level of the individual capillary. We measured cell flux (using cells labeled with substituted tetramethyl rhodamine isothiocyanate, XRITC) and vessel diameter in adjoining arterioles of the terminal vasculature of hamster cremaster muscle (Nembutal, 70 mg/kg i.p.) during rest and hyperemia (10(-...
متن کاملThe Role of Cremaster Muscle as a Cause of Ascending Testis after Inguinal Hernia/Hydrocele Repair
Background Ascending testis (AT) is one of the rare but serious complication that may occurs following inguinal hernia/hydrocele repair. We aimed to review our more than 7 years’ experience and discuss the possible mechanism through which the AT possibly occurs following inguinal hernia/hydrocele repair. Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis of 7,212 boys who had undergone inguinal her...
متن کاملCommunication between feed arteries and microvessels in hamster striated muscle: segmental vascular responses are functionally coordinated.
Pressures in the primary arterioles of the cremaster muscle are reported to be approximately 50% of systemic, indicating that arterial resistance proximal to microvessels is high and may limit maximal blood flow. With no change in arterial resistance, increases in perfusion normally associated with muscle work either could not occur or would require increments in systemic pressure far greater t...
متن کاملOn the mechanism of vascular leakage caused by histaminetype mediators. A microscopic study in vivo.
A current hypothesis maintains that the vascular leakage induced by histamine, serotonin, and bradykinin is brought about by a hydrostatic mechanism: The larger veins are said to contract; the venules are therefore submitted to an increase in pressure, which causes their wall to give way. To test this hypothesis, vessels of an exposed striated muscle (rat and rabbit cremaster) were photographed...
متن کاملDNA Amplification and Detection Made Simple (Relatively)
The effect of cryotherapy on normal striated muscle was investigated using 18 adult male rats. Animals were divided into two groups, an experimental cryotherapy group and a control group receiving sham treatment. After the surgical procedure animals were allowed to equilibrate and vessel diameters, macromolecular leakage and blood flow were assessed before the cremaster muscle was frozen to 60°...
