Clinical Utility of Laser Doppler Flowmetry for Monitoring Digital Circulation after Replantation: Differentiation between Tissue Ischemia and Congestion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital replantation has recently become a common treatment method, and improvements in surgical techniques have increased its success rate.1 However, the overall failure rate remains a significant issue. Appropriatemeasurement of blood flow in transplanted tissue is important to prevent critical circulation failure. Of the various modalities advocated for postoperative monitoring of blood flow, laserDoppler flowmetry (LDF) is considered useful for assessing interstitial blood flow.2,3 The aim of the present studywas to demonstrate the utility of LDF for blood flow evaluation and differentiation between ischemia and congestion in replanted digits.

Bone Marrow Stromal Cells With Exercise and Thyroid Hormone Effect on Post-Stroke Injuries in Middle-aged Mice
Introduction: Based on our previous findings, the treatment of stem cells alone or in combination with thyroid hormone (T3) and mild exercise could effectively reduce the risk of stroke damage in young mice. However, it is unclear whether this treatment is effective in aged or middle-aged mice. Therefore, this study designed to assess whether combination of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells (BMSCs) wit...

متن کاملValidity of Laser Doppler Flowmetry in Predicting Outcome in Murine Intraluminal Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Stroke.
BACKGROUND Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) can reliably reflect brain perfusion in experimental stroke by monitoring both the degree and the duration of relative regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). Variation in rCBF was continuously monitored in 68 mice undergoing middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and 25 mice undergoing sham-operation and documented as LDF (%). Transcranial LDF changes in ...
