Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a devastating complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ASAH) causing brain infarction and disability. Cerebral microdialysis (CMD) monitoring is a focal technique that may detect DCI-related neurochemical changes as an advance warning. We conducted retrospective analyses from 44 poor-grade ASAH patients and analyzed glucose, lactate, pyruvate, and glutamate concentrations in control patients without DCI (n = 19), and in patients with DCI whose CMD probe was located within (n = 17) or outside (n = 8) a new infarct. When monitored from within a lesion, DCI was preceded by a decrease in glucose and a surge in glutamate, accompanied by increases in lactate/pyruvate and lactate/glucose ratios whereas these parameters remained stable in control patients. When CMD monitoring was performed outside the lesion, the glutamate surge was absent, but glucose and L/G ratio were still significantly altered. Overall, glucose and L/G ratio were significant biomarkers of DCI (se96.0, spe73.7-68.4). Glucose and L/G predicted DCI 67 h before CT detection of a new infarct. The pathogenesis of DCI therefore induces early metabolic disturbances that can be detected by CMD as an advance warning. Glucose and L/G could provide a trigger for initiating further examination or therapy, earlier than when guided by other monitoring techniques.

Equine Vet J 2020; 53:834-844. [PMID: 32986263 DOI: 10.1111/evj.13356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Revised: 08/20/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Supporting limb laminitis (SLL) is suspected to be caused by lamellar ischaemia as a consequence of increased mechanical load. OBJECTIVES Examine the effects of prolonged preferential weight bearing (PWB) on lamellar perfusion and metabolism. STUDY DESIGN In vivo experiment. METHODS Microdialysis probes were inserted in the lamellar and sublamellar dermis of one forelimb in 13 Standardbred horses. In six horses, a platform shoe (contralateral forelimb) was used to induce increased load on the microdialysis-instrumented forelimb (PWB). The remaining seven horses were controls (CON). All horses were housed in stocks with limb weight distribution logged continuously for 92 hours. Microdialysate was collected and analysed every 4 hours for glucose, lactate, pyruvate, and lactate to pyruvate ratio (L:P). Microdialysis urea clearance was used to estimate lamellar perfusion. Data were analysed using a mixed-effects linear regression model. RESULTS Median [IQR] load on the microdialysis-instrumented limb was equivalent to 38.7% bwt. [37.3-40.3] in PWB and 27.3% bwt. [26.6-28] in CON. Limb offloading frequency increased in CON (P < .001) but not PWB (P = .2). Lamellar microdialysate glucose decreased in PWB (P < .001) and CON (P = .004), however, the rate of decrease was higher in PWB (P = .007). Lamellar L:P increased in PWB (P < .001) and peaked at 196 [79-656], whereas L:P did not change over time in CON (P = .6) and peaked at 42 [41-49]. Lamellar urea clearance decreased in PWB (P < .001) but not in CON (P = .3). Sublamellar L:P and urea clearance did not change over time in either group (P > .05). MAIN LIMITATIONS The PWB model may not be representative of naturally occurring SLL. CONCLUSIONS Evidence of lamellar ischaemia (increased L:P and decreased urea clearance) was detected exclusively in the lamellar dermis of PWB feet subjected to persistently increased load. Lamellar ischaemia is a consequence of increased mechanical load and likely contributes to the development of SLL.

Abstract
Neurocritical care (NCC) is a branch of intensive care medicine characterized by specific physiological and biochemical monitoring techniques necessary for identifying cerebral adverse events and for evaluating specific therapies. Information is primarily obtained from physiological variables related to intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) and from physiological and biochemical variables related to cerebral energy metabolism. Non-surgical therapies developed for treating increased ICP are based on knowledge regarding transport of water across the intact and injured blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the regulation of CBF. Brain volume is strictly controlled as the BBB permeability to crystalloids is very low restricting net transport of water across the capillary wall. Cerebral pressure autoregulation prevents changes in intracranial blood volume and intracapillary hydrostatic pressure at variations in arterial blood pressure. Information regarding cerebral oxidative metabolism is obtained from measurements of brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO2) and biochemical data obtained from intracerebral microdialysis. As interstitial lactate/pyruvate (LP) ratio instantaneously reflects shifts in intracellular cytoplasmatic redox state, it is an important indicator of compromised cerebral oxidative metabolism. The combined information obtained from PbtO2, LP ratio, and the pattern of biochemical variables reveals whether impaired oxidative metabolism is due to insufficient perfusion (ischemia) or mitochondrial dysfunction. Intracerebral microdialysis and PbtO2 give information from a very small volume of tissue. Accordingly, clinical interpretation of the data must be based on information of the probe location in relation to focal brain damage. Attempts to evaluate global cerebral energy state from microdialysis of intraventricular fluid and from the LP ratio of the draining venous blood have recently been presented. To be of clinical relevance, the information from all monitoring techniques should be presented bedside online. Accordingly, in the future, the chemical variables obtained from microdialysis will probably be analyzed by biochemical sensors.

Abstract
Cerebral microdialysis is a widely used clinical tool for monitoring extracellular concentrations of selected metabolites after brain injury and to guide neurocritical care. Extracellular glucose levels and lactate/pyruvate ratios have high diagnostic value because they can detect hypoglycemia and deficits in oxidative metabolism, respectively. In addition, patterns of metabolite concentrations can distinguish between ischemia and mitochondrial dysfunction, and are helpful to choose and evaluate therapy. Increased intracranial pressure can be life-threatening after brain injury, and hypertonic solutions are commonly used for pressure reduction. Recent reports have advocated use of hypertonic sodium lactate, based on claims that it is glucose sparing and provides an oxidative fuel for injured brain. However, changes in extracellular concentrations in microdialysate are not evidence that a rise in extracellular glucose level is beneficial or that lactate is metabolized and improves neuroenergetics. The increase in glucose concentration may reflect inhibition of glycolysis, glycogenolysis, and pentose phosphate shunt pathway fluxes by lactate flooding in patients with mitochondrial dysfunction. In such cases, lactate will not be metabolizable and lactate flooding may be harmful. More rigorous approaches are required to evaluate metabolic and physiological effects of administration of hypertonic sodium lactate to brain-injured patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), pathological changes in cerebral energy metabolism can be detected either by local measurements using cerebral microdialysis (cMD) together with brain tissue oxygen probe or by global measurements of arterio-jugular difference performed with retrograde jugular vein catheter. Our main objective was to compare the two methods of detection and assess whether combining biomarkers from both procedures could improve outcome prediction, which has never been studied before. METHODS This study included 400 sets of paired arterial and jugular venous samples and 3138 brain microdialyzates obtained from 18 poor-grade aSAH patients. Using Glasgow outcome scale (GOS), neurochemical data from unfavorable (GOS 1-3) and favorable (GOS 4-5) outcome groups were compared. RESULTS The lactate/pyruvate ratio was found as the most sensitive marker for predicting unfavorable outcome (90%), although not specific. In contrast, hypoxic lactate events and those of metabolic ratio (MR) < 3.44, most frequently observed in the unfavorable outcome group than in the favorable one (13.9 vs 0.9% and 33.3 vs 3.75% respectively), were shown to be more specific biomarkers (86%) to predict unfavorable outcome, but less sensitive ( < 70%). The combination of these three biomarkers improved the accuracy of outcome prediction (sensitivity 90% and specificity 71%). DISCUSSION Both retrograde jugular venous catheterization (RJVC) and cMD contribute to monitor poor-grade aSAH patients. In this preliminary study, we show that these two techniques are complementary and their combination increases the accuracy of outcome prediction.

Abstract
Circulating asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis, has been proposed as a biomarker for clinical outcome. Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) is the main enzyme responsible for ADMA metabolism and elimination. Adipose tissue ADMA concentrations and DDAH activity and their role in diabetes and obesity have not yet been investigated. In this study, we evaluated clinical microdialysis in combination with a sensitive analytical method (GC-MS/MS) to measure ADMA concentrations in extracellular fluid. Adipose tissue ADMA concentrations were assessed before and during an oral glucose tolerance test in lean healthy subjects and subjects with diabetes (n = 4 each), and in morbidly obese subjects before and after weight loss of 30 kg (n = 7). DDAH activity was determined in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue obtained during laparoscopic surgery (n = 5 paired samples). Mean interstitial ADMA concentrations did not differ between study populations (healthy 0.17 ± 0.03 μM; diabetic 0.21 ± 0.03 μM; morbidly obese 0.16 ± 0.01 and 0.17 ± 0.01 μM before and after weight loss, respectively). We did not observe any response of interstitial ADMA concentrations to the oral glucose challenge. Adipose tissue DDAH activity was negligible compared to liver tissue. Thus, adipose tissue ADMA plays a minor role in NO-dependent regulation of adipose tissue blood flow and metabolism.

Abstract
Microdialysis sampling of lipophilic molecules in human tissues is challenging because protein binding and adhesion to the membrane limit recovery. Hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin (HP-ß-CD) forms complexes with hydrophobic molecules thereby improving microdialysis recovery of lipophilic molecules in vitro and in rodents. We tested the approach in human subjects. First, we determined HP-ß-CD influences on metabolite stability, delivery, and recovery in vitro. Then, we evaluated HP-ß-CD as microdialysis perfusion fluid supplement in 20 healthy volunteers. We placed 20 kDa microdialysis catheters in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue and in the vastus lateralis muscle. We perfused catheters with lactate free Ringer solution with or without 10% HP-ß-CD at flow rates of 0.3–2.0 µl/min. We assessed tissue metabolites, ultrafiltration effects, and blood flow. In both tissues, metabolite concentrations with Ringer+HP-ß-CD perfusate were equal or higher compared to Ringer alone. Addition of HP-ß-CD increased dialysate volume by 10%. Adverse local or systemic reactions to HP-ß-CD did not occur and analytical methods were not disturbed. HP-ß-CD addition allowed to measure interstitial anandamide concentrations, a highly lipophilic endogenous molecule. Our findings suggest that HP-ß-CD is a suitable supplement in clinical microdialysis to enhance recovery of lipophilic molecules from human interstitial fluid.

Abstract
Background: Cerebral microdialysis (MD) provides valuable information about brain metabolism under normal and pathologic conditions. The CMA 600 microdialysis analyzer received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for clinical use in the United States in 2005. Since then, cerebral MD has been increasingly utilized nationally in the multimodal monitoring of traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and brain tumors. We describe a 5-year, single-institutional experience using cerebral MD at a community-based hospital, Legacy Emanuel Medical Center (LEMC). Implications for the adoption and utility of MD in medical centers with limited resources are discussed. Methods: This is a retrospective chart review and data analysis of 174 consecutive patients who had cerebral MD as part of multimodal brain monitoring. All cerebral MD catheters were placed by board-certified, attending neurosurgeons at LEMC. Clinical severity in the TBI patients was reported using initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS); radiologic severity was graded with the Marshall CT grading scale. Measures of the risks of MD placement included post-placement hemorrhage, cerebral infection, and dislodgement. Results: Between July 2005 and July 2010, 248 cerebral MD catheters were placed in 174 patients undergoing multimodal brain monitoring. One hundred and eighty-five catheters were placed at the time of open craniotomy. None were associated with cranial infection. Patients ranged in age from 5 months to 90 years, with a mean of 49 years. The male to female ratio was 1.4:1. The underlying pathologies were: TBI (126), cerebral vascular accident (24), aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (17), and tumor (7). Conclusions: Cerebral MD was readily implemented in a community-based hospital. No cerebral hemorrhages or infections were attributed to cerebral MD. Examples of how MD may be a useful adjunct in the clinical decision making of patients with brain injuries are presented.

Abstract
Since the introduction of microdialysis in 1974, the semi-invasive analytical method has grown exponentially. Microdialysis is one of the most potential analysis technologies of pharmacological drug delivery to the brain. In recent decades, analysis of chemicals targeting the brain has led to many improvements. It seems likely that fluorescence imaging was limited to ex vivo and in vitro applications with the exception of several intravital microscopy and photographic imaging approaches. X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) have been commonly utilized for visualization of distribution and therapeutic effects of drugs. The efficient analytical methods for studies of brain-targeting delivery system is a major challenge in detecting the disposition as well as the variances of the factors that regulate the substances delivery into the brain. In this review, we highlight some of the ongoing trends in imaging modalities and the most recent developments in the field of microdialysis of live animals and present insights into exploiting brain disease for therapeutic and diagnostics purpose.
