  • Title: [Cerebral blood flow after total cerebral ischemia in dog (author's transl)].
    Author: Tabuse H.
    Journal: No To Shinkei; 1981 Nov; 33(11):1157-64. PubMed ID: 7332724.
    Abstract:
    Sixty-three mongrel dogs were exposed to 8-10 min. of complete cerebral ischemia with Aortic occlusion balloon catheter and followed by 120 min. of recirculation. The degree and distribution of post-ischemic reperfusion in 11 different cerebral regions were then assessed using radioactive labelled microspheres (15 +/- 3 micrometers). The animals were divided into 3 groups by the administration of drugs as follows: 1) no additional drugs; 2) Indomethacin (selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase) 4 mg/kg 5 min. after ischemia; 3) Pyridine deriv. (OKY-1580 Na-salt, selective inhibitor of thromboxane synthetase) infusion 100 gamma/kg/min. beginning 5 min. after ischemia. Animals receiving no additional drugs had low cerebral blood flow rates at 120 min. after ischemia especially in basal ganglia and cerebral cortex. Animals receiving Indomethacin did not differ significantly from the no additional drug group. The significant enhancement and redistribution of post-ischemic reperfusion at 120 min. after ischemia occurred in animals receiving Pyridine deriv. with reversal of the state of poor reperfusion. These observations implicate an imbalance of prostaglandin pathways in platelets and blood vessel walls in the genesis of impaired post-ischemic reflow and suggest the usefulness of Pyridine deriv. in the treatment of local vasoconstriction of the brain after total cerebral ischemia.
