Cerebral Artery Occlusion

: Stroke is an important cause of death and disability, and it is the second leading cause of death worldwide. In humans, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) is the most common cause of ischemic stroke. The damage occurs due to the lack of nutrients and oxygen contributed by the blood flow. : The present review aims to analyze to what extent the lack of each of the elements of the system leads to damage and which mechanisms are unaffected by this deficiency. We believe that the specific analysis of the effect of lack of each component could lead to the emergence of new therapeutic targets for this important brain pathology.

Cerebral Artery Occlusion

The effects of adenosine on regional cerebral blood flow and indexes of the total and perfused microvascular bed were studied after 1 h of middle cerebral artery occlusion in the anesthetized rat. Iodo[14C]antipyrine was used to determine cerebral blood flow. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran was used to study the perfused microvasculature, and an alkaline phosphatase stain was used to identify the total bed. Mean arterial blood pressure was significantly reduced by adenosine. Cerebral blood flow increased significantly by 75%, except in the flow-restricted cortex where flow averaged 28 +/- 15 (SD) ml.min-1.100 g-1 in control and 34 +/- 33 ml.min-1.100 g-1 in adenosine-treated animals. No significant regional structural differences were observed within the microvascular beds of the two groups. The percentage of the microvascular volume perfused increased significantly in all brain regions in the adenosine-treated rats, including the flow-restricted cortex. The percent perfused arteriolar volume in the flow-restricted cortex was 30 +/- 12% in control and 95 +/- 3% in adenosine-treated animals. Similar values for the capillary bed were 22 +/- 10% in control and 54 +/- 3% in adenosine-treated rats. These results indicate a maintenance of flow with a reduction in diffusion distances in the flow-restricted cortex after treatment with adenosine.

Cerebral Artery Occlusion

Local CBF (LCBF) was compared with the corresponding local tissue concentration of ATP, phosphocreatine (PCr), and lactate in anaesthetized baboons subjected to focal ischaemia produced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). LCBF hydrogen electrodes were implanted in cortical regions where MCAO had been previously shown to produce severe and penumbral ischaemia and in posterior regions where blood flow is not altered. Metabolites were assayed in small tissue samples collected either by cryoprobe biopsy in the regions where LCBFs were measured (series 1) or by sampling appropriate regions of the rapidly frozen brain (series 2). Subsequent topographical study of brain tissue pH with umbelliferone was performed in this latter series. The results from these two series are compared and discussed in terms of the more appropriate way to perform simultaneous electrode measurements and analysis of tissue samples for studying focal ischaemia in the primate brain. They confirm that the concentrations of ATP and PCr decrease, and that lactate level increases, with decreasing blood flow. These metabolites tended to change more rapidly below a blood flow threshold, rather than showing a steady decrease as the blood flow was reduced, although the variability of the data precluded us from establishing this with confidence. Topographical study of tissue pH often showed sharp boundaries between zones of very low pH and regions with normal pH.
