The authors assessed the diagnostic value of brain tissue oxygen tension (PbrO2), microvascular oxygen saturation (SmvO2), cytochrome oxidase redox level (Cyt a+a3 oxidation), and cerebral energy metabolite concentrations in detecting acute critical impairment of cerebral energy homeostasis. Each single parameter as well as derived multimodal indices (arteriovenous difference in oxygen content [AVDO2], cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen [CMRO2], fractional microvascular oxygen extraction [OEF]) were investigated during controlled variation of global cerebral perfusion using a cisternal infusion technique in 16 rabbits. The objective of this study was to determine whether acute changes between normal, moderately, and critically reduced cerebral perfusion as well as frank ischemia defined by local cortical blood flow (lcoBF), brain electrical activity (BEA), and brain stem vasomotor control can be reliably identified by SmvO2, PbrO2, Cyt a+a3 oxidation, or energy metabolites (glutamate, lactate/pyruvate ratio). PbrO2, SmvO2, and Cyt a+a3 oxidation, but not cerebral perfusion pressure, were closely linked to lcoBF and BEA and allowed discrimination between normal, moderately reduced, and critically reduced cerebral perfusion (P < 0.01). Glutamate concentrations and the lactate/pyruvate ratio varied significantly only between moderately reduced cerebral perfusion and frank ischemia (complete loss of BEA and brain stem vasomotor control). Therefore, PbrO2, SmvO2, and Cyt a+a3 oxidation, but not glutamate and the lactate/pyruvate ratio, reliably predict the transition from moderately to critically reduced cerebral perfusion with impending energy failure.
Neu dargestellt wurden die tetragonal kristallisierenden Verbindungen Li2HgO2 (a = 3,55 Å, e = 11,23Å), Na2HgO2 (a = 3,42 Å, c = 13,32 Å), K2HgO2 (a = 3,92 Å, c = 13,94 Å), Rb2HgO2 (a = 4,13 Å, c = 14,19 Å), und Cs2HgO2 (a = 4,35 Å, c = 14,51 Å). Die Verbindungen sind farblos und extrem empfindlich gegen Feuchtigkeit. Die Kristallstruktur von Na2HgO2 und K2HgO2 wurde an Einkristallen mit Hilfe von Fourier‐Methoden aufgeklärt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
