Mathematical model describing erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Implications for blood viscosity changes in traumatic shock and crush syndrome.

BACKGROUND: The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a simple and inexpensive laboratory test, which is widespread in clinical practice, for assessing the inflammatory or acute response. This work addresses the theoretical and experimental investigation of sedimentation a single and multiple particles in homogeneous and heterogeneous (multiphase) medium, as it relates to their internal structure (aggregation of solid or deformed particles). METHODS: The equation system has been solved numerically. To choose finite analogs of derivatives we used the schemes of directional differences. RESULTS: (1) Our model takes into account the influence of the vessel wall on group aggregation of particles in tubes as well as the effects of rotation of particles, the constraint coefficient, and viscosity of a mixture as a function of the volume fraction. (2) This model can describe ESR as a function of the velocity of adhesion of erythrocytes; (3) Determination of the ESR is best conducted at certain time intervals, i.e. in a series of periods not exceeding 5 minutes each; (4) Differential diagnosis of various diseases by means of ESR should be performed using the aforementioned timed measurement of ESR; (5) An increase in blood viscosity during trauma results from an increase in rouleaux formation and the time-course method of ESR will be useful in patients with trauma, in particular, with traumatic shock and crush syndrome. CONCLUSION: The mathematical model created in this study used the most fundamental differential equations that have ever been derived to estimate ESR. It may further our understanding of its complex mechanism.

In preeclampsia, the circulating factors capable of altering in vitro endothelial function precede clinical disease.

The pathophysiology of preeclampsia involves the release of a circulating factor(s) from a hypoperfused placenta that activates the maternal endothelium. This study investigated the effect on in vitro endothelial function of plasma taken from women in whom preeclampsia subsequently developed. Women at increased risk for an adverse pregnancy outcome were identified using Doppler waveform analysis. Plasma samples (22 and 26 weeks) were incubated with myometrial vessels taken from women with uncomplicated pregnancies. Wire myography was used to study the effect of plasma on the endothelium-dependent vessel behavior. Incubation of vessels from normal pregnant women with plasma from women in whom preeclampsia subsequently developed (n=19) significantly reduced endothelium-dependent relaxation, compared with vessels incubated with plasma from normal pregnant women (n=48). This effect was demonstrable for plasma taken at 22 weeks (residual constriction 47.1+/-6.6% versus 32.0+/-4.4%, P=0.004 at 1-hour incubation; and 59.1+/-8.4% versus 42.3+/-5.9%, P=0.001 at 18-hour incubation) and 26 weeks (59.2+/-5.2% versus 29.1+/-5.6%, P<0.001 at 1 hour; and 63.3+/-7.6% versus 31.9 +/-7.2%, P<0.0001 at 18 hours). Endothelial-dependent relaxation was unaltered after incubation with plasma taken from women in whom normotensive intrauterine growth restriction subsequently developed (n=19). This study supports the hypothesis that plasma, from women in whom preeclampsia develops, collected weeks before diagnosis is capable of altering endothelial function.

Quantifying CBF with arterial spin labeling.

The basic principles of measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) using arterial spin labeling (ASL) are reviewed. The measurement is modeled by treating the ASL method as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) version of a microsphere study, rather than a diffusible tracer study. This approach, particularly when applied to pulsed ASL (PASL) experiments, clarifies that absolute calibration of CBF primarily depends on global properties of blood, rather than local tissue properties such as the water partition coefficient or relaxation time. However, transit delays from the tagging region to the image voxel are a potential problem in all standard ASL methods. The key to quantitative CBF measurements that compensate for this systematic error is to create a well-defined bolus of tagged blood and to ensure that all of the bolus has been delivered to an imaging voxel at the time of measurement. Two practical technical factors considered here are 1) producing a tagged bolus with a well-defined temporal width and 2) accounting for reduction in magnitude of the tagged magnetization due to relaxation. The ASL approach has the potential to provide a robust estimation of CBF, although the timing of water exchange into tissue and the effects of pulsatile flow require further investigation.
