What is A Chronic Model to Simultaneously Measure Intracranial Pressure, Cerebral Blood Flow, and Study the Pial Microvasculature about?
In an effort to study changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF), intracranial pressure (ICP) and intracranial compliance (ICC) simultaneously, we have developed a chronic model in rats using a pial window crown with two ports. This model can also be used to study vasoreactivity of pial vessels. Female Sprague -Dawley rats weighing between 225 -250 g underwent placement of cranial chamber with dual ports under pentobarbital anesthesia. To test the utility of this technique 45 groups of rats were studied. Group 1 consisted of control animals. Group 2 consisted of rats undergoing 15 min of global cerebral ischemia. Rats in group 3 were evaluated for changes in vessel diameter and ICP after adenosine injection. In group 4 leukocyte/endothelial interactions were evaluated. These groups demonstrate the ability of this model to monitor CBF, ICP, ICC and pial vessel architecture in chronic rat experiments.
