ABSTRACTA practical assessment of the health of the palm muscle, abductor pollicis brevis (APB), is important for diagnosis of different conditions. Here we have developed a protocol and a probe to utilize diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) to characterize microvascular blood flow changes in the APB during and after sustained isometric exercise, during and after thumb abduction at at 55% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Blood flow in the APB decreased during exercise in the subjects (n=13) with high MVC (n=7) and stayed constant in the ones with low MVC (n=6) suggesting that the mechanical occlusion due to increased intramuscular pressure exceeded the vasodilation elicited by the higher demand. Blood flow changes during exercise negatively correlated with the absolute force applied by each subject. Muscular blood flow increased after exercise compared to the values reached during exercise. In conclusion, DCS allows the study of the response of a small muscle to static exercise.

To evaluate a newly developed high-resolution laser-Doppler perfusion imager (HR-LDPI) for analysis of local tissue perfusion, blood flow measurements in the rabbit tenuissimus muscle were carried out in combination with intravital microscopic observation. The principle of the LDPI method is based on a low-power laser beam scan of the exposed tissue from which a two-dimensional color-coded perfusion map is created through computerized signal analysis. The perfusion of the tenuissimus muscle prepared for microscopic observation was analyzed in a 5 mm x 8 mm area as the muscle was exposed to atmospheric oxygen tension (Po2; 20 kPa), a low Po2 (approximately 3 kPa), and after vasodilatation induced by topical application of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). In selected areas free from larger vessels, a significantly lower perfusion average reading was demonstrated under high Po2 conditions compared with low Po2 conditions (P < 0.05, n = 5 animals), and application of PGE2 gave rise to an average reading significantly higher than that at low Po2 (P < 0.01, n = 6 animals). The results were in good agreement with the flow changes observed microscopically, and the architecture of the microvascular network, as depicted by in vivo micrographs, was clearly recognizable in the perfusion images. In conclusion, blood flow changes in the rabbit tenuissimus muscle induced by various stimuli were quantitated with the HR-LDPI method and could be spatially resolved in great detail, illustrating the potential of using HR-LDPI for analysis of local blood flow and to reveal spatial perfusion heterogeneity in tissues.
