Abstract
BACKGROUND Flowmotion analysis of the microcirculatory blood flow is a method to extract information about the vessel regulatory function. It has previously shown promise when applied to measurements during a post-occlusive reactive hyperemia. However, the reperfusion peak and the following monotonic decline introduces false low frequencies that should not be interpreted as rhythmic vasomotion effect. AIM To develop and validate a robust method for flowmotion analysis of post-occlusive reactive hyperemia signals. METHOD The occlusion-induced reperfusion response contains a typical rapid increase followed by a monotonic decline to baseline. A mathematical model is proposed to detrend this transient part of the signal to enable further flowmotion analysis. The model is validated in 96 measurements on healthy volunteers. RESULTS Applying the proposed model corrects the flowmotion signal without adding any substantial new false flowmotion components. CONCLUSION Future studies should use the proposed method or equivalent when analyzing flowmotion during post-occlusive reactive hyperemia to ensure valid results.

Oral Glucose Load and Human Cutaneous Microcirculation: An Insight into Flowmotion Assessed by Wavelet Transform. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10100953. [PMID: 34681052 PMCID: PMC8533385 DOI: 10.3390/biology10100953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Simple Summary There is increasing evidence to suggest that microcirculation becomes dysfunctional earlier than large blood vessels or the heart in several diseases. In diabetes mellitus, a disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, microvascular impairment is well-established; on the contrary, the effect of acute hyperglycemia in microcirculation remains unclarified. Our aim was to investigate the microvascular effect of an oral glucose load (OGL) using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) as a perfusion quantification technique, coupled with wavelet transform (WT) to perform a spectral decomposition of the LDF signal. On two distinct occasions (pre-load and post-load), sixteen healthy subjects drank either a standard glucose solution or water. Perfusion was assessed by LDF and WT while resting and during post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH), evoked by a transient three-min occlusion of the brachial artery, in the forearm and the finger pulp. The OGL affected microcirculation in both sites compared to water, significantly blunting the PORH response in the forearm. The WT revealed significant differences in the cardiac and sympathetic components after OGL between the pre-load and post-load periods. These results suggest that an OGL induces a short-term subtle microvascular impairment, probably involving a modulation of the sympathetic nervous system. Abstract Microcirculation in vivo has been assessed using non-invasive technologies such as laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). In contrast to chronic hyperglycemia, known to induce microvascular dysfunction, the effects of short-term elevations in blood glucose on microcirculation are controversial. We aimed to assess the impact of an oral glucose load (OGL) on the cutaneous microcirculation of healthy subjects, quantified by LDF and coupled with wavelet transform (WT) as an interpretation tool. On two separate occasions, sixteen subjects drank either a glucose solution (75 g in 250 mL water) or water (equal volume). LDF signals were obtained in two anatomical sites (forearm and finger pulp) before and after each load (pre-load and post-load, respectively), in resting conditions and during post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH). The WT allowed decomposition of the LDF signals into their spectral components (cardiac, respiratory, myogenic, sympathetic, endothelial NO-dependent). The OGL blunted the PORH response in the forearm, which was not observed with the water load. Significant differences were found for the cardiac and sympathetic components in the glucose and water groups between the pre-load and post-load periods. These results suggest that an OGL induces a short-term subtle microvascular impairment, probably involving a modulation of the sympathetic nervous system.

Abstract
Cupping therapy has been widely used in treating musculoskeletal impairments. However, there is no specific guideline on selecting the intensity of cupping therapy, including the pressure and duration. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different pressures and durations of cupping therapy on skin blood flow responses. A 2 × 2 factorial design, including two negative pressures at -225 and -300 mmHg and two durations at 5 and 10 min, was tested in 12 healthy participants. The four protocols of cupping therapy were tested in four different days. Skin blood flow was measured using laser Doppler flowmetry on the left triceps (the SJ12 acupoint). Skin blood flow after cupping therapy was expressed as a ratio of skin blood flow before cupping therapy. The results showed that -300 mmHg caused a significant increase in peak skin blood flow (16.7 ± 2.6 times) compared to -225 mmHg (11.1 ± 2.2 times, p < 0.05) under 5-min duration. The largest difference in skin blood flow is between -300 mmHg for 5 min (16.7 ± 2.6 times) and -225 mmHg for 10 min (8.1 ± 2.3 times, p < 0.01). Our findings demonstrated that a higher value (300 mmHg) of negative pressure is more effective on increasing skin blood flow compared to a lower value (225 mmHg). Also, a shorter duration (5 min) causes a larger peak and total skin blood flow compared to a longer duration (10 min). This study provides the first evidence showing the effect of pressures and durations of cupping therapy on skin blood flow responses.

Abstract
AbstractMicrovascular function has been assessed by determining the rhythmic oscillations in blood flow induced by the vasomotion of resistance vessels. Although laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF) allows simple, non-invasive evaluation of this flow-motion in the cutaneous microcirculation, the temporal and spatial reproducibility of such assessments remains unclear.In the present study, we investigated cutaneous flow-motion in three consecutive years in eight skin regions using LDF in six healthy young volunteers. The characteristic flow-motion frequency was determined using fast-Fourier transformation. Additionally, in two years a more traditional measure of microvascular reactivity, postocclusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) was evoked in the forearm after transient brachial artery occlusion (1–2–3 min) induced by cuff inflation.Well-defined flow-motion was found in six regions showing significant differences in frequency: the highest flow-motion frequency was found in the frontal and temporal regions (8.0 ± 1.1 and 8.5 ± 1.0 cycles/min, cpm, respectively, mean ± SD) followed by the scapular, infraclavicular and coxal regions (7.5 ± 1.3; 6.7 ± 1.1 and 6.5 ± 1.2 cpm, respectively). The lowest, stable flow-motion was found in the posterior femoral region (5.5 ± 1.0 cpm), whereas flow-motion was detectable only sporadically in the limbs. The region-dependent flow-motion frequencies were very stable within individuals either between the body sides, or among the three measurements, only the infraclavicular region showed a small difference (114 ± 17%∗, % of value in 1st year; ∗P < 0.05). However, PORH indices differed after 2–3 min occlusions significantly in consecutive years.We report that flow-motion frequencies determined from LDF signals show both region-specificity and excellent intra-individual temporal and spatial reproducibility suggesting their usefulness for non-invasive follow-up of microvascular reactivity.

The effect of caffeine on cutaneous postocclusive reactive hyperaemia. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0214919.

Abstract
Background Caffeine is reported to be the most widely used pharmacologically active substance. It causes mental stimulation and increases blood pressure. Acute systolic and diastolic blood pressure response to caffeine attenuates in the course of regular caffeine use; tolerance to cardiovascular responses develops in some people. For some hypertension-prone people coffee ingestion may be harmful, and for others it may be beneficial. The aim of our work was to evaluate the effect of caffeine on postocclusive reactive hyperaemia (PORH), a test of microvascular function, and at the same time to monitor the central effects of caffeine on blood pressure and heart rate. Methods Heart rate, arterial pressure, and cutaneous laser-Doppler (LD) flux were monitored in 32 healthy volunteers (aged 25.2 ± 4.3 years) before and after they ingested 200 mg of caffeine. LD flux was measured on a finger at rest and after the release of an 8-minute occlusion of digital arteries above the place of LD flux measurement. All parameters obtained after the ingestion of caffeine were compared to the values obtained before caffeine and to the values obtained after a placebo. Results We found slightly increased arterial pressure as well as decreased heart rate and resting LD flux (Dunnett’s test, p<0.05) after the ingestion of caffeine. Caffeine significantly reduced the PORH response (Dunnett’s test, p<0.01). The power of the low-frequency oscillations (0.06–0.15 Hz) of LD flux, representing vascular myogenic activity, increased significantly after the ingestion of caffeine at rest and during the PORH response. A correlation was found between the number of cups of coffee regularly consumed and resting LD flux values (R = 0.492, p = 0.00422), peak LD flux values during PORH (R = 0.458, p = 0.00847), and the PORH area (R = 0.506, p = 0.00313) after caffeine consumption. Conclusions From the results, we can conclude that caffeine affects cutaneous microvascular function during rest and during a PORH response, and that it increases blood pressure and decreases heart rate.

Abstract
The physiological relevance of slow-wave vasomotion is still unclear, even though it has been hypothesized that it could be a compensatory mechanism for enhancing tissue oxygenation in conditions of reduced oxygen supply. The aim of our study was to explore the effects of hypoxia and ischemia on slow-wave vasomotion in microcirculation. Peripheral oxygen saturation and forearm microcirculation flow (laser-Doppler flowmetry) were recorded at baseline and during postocclusive reactive hyperemia in the Himalaya region from 8 European lowlanders (6 men; aged 29-39 yr) at 1,350, 3,400, and 5,050 m and from 10 Nepalese male highlanders (aged 21-39 yr) at 3,400 and 5,050 m of altitude. The same measurements were also performed at sea level in 16 healthy volunteers (aged 23-61 yr) during a short-term exposure to normobaric hypoxia. In lowlanders, exposure to progressively higher altitude under baseline flow conditions progressively increased 0.06-0.15 Hz vasomotion amplitude [power spectral density % was expressed as geometric means (geometric standard deviation) = 14.0 (3.6) at 1,350 m; 87.0(2.3) at 3,400 m and 249.8 (3.6) at 5,050 m; P = 0.006 and P < 0.001 vs. 1,350 m, respectively]. In highlanders, low frequency vasomotion amplitude was similarly enhanced at different altitudes [power spectral density % = 183.4 (4.1) at 3,400 m vs. 236.0 (3.0) at 5,050 m; P = 0.139]. In both groups at altitude, it was further increased after ischemic stimulus ( P < 0.001). At baseline, acute short lasting normobaric hypoxia did not induce low frequency vasomotion, which was conversely induced by ischemia, even under normal oxygenation and barometric pressure. This study offers the demonstration of a significant increase in slow-wave vasomotion under prolonged hypobaric-hypoxia exposure at high altitude, with a further enhancement after ischemia induction. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study offers the demonstration in humans of the occurrence of enhanced slow-wave vasomotion in microcirculation induced by exposure to hypobaric hypoxia, ischemia, and their combination. This phenomenon, where vasomotion can be hypothesized to behave as a "peripheral heart," may represent a compensating adaptive change aimed at improving peripheral flow and tissue oxygenation in conditions of reduced oxygen supply, such as altitude-induced hypobaric hypoxia and postocclusion ischemia.

Abstract
An altered spatial heterogeneity and temporal stability of network perfusion can give rise to a limited adaptive ability to meet metabolic demands. Derangement of local flow motion activity is associated with reduced microvascular blood flow and tissue oxygenation, and it has been suggested that changes in flow motion activity may provide an early indicator of declining, endothelial, neurogenic, and myogenic regulatory mechanisms and signal the onset and progression of microvascular pathophysiology. This short conference review article explores some of the evidence for altered flow motion dynamics of blood flux signals acquired using laser Doppler fluximetry in the skin in individuals at risk of developing or with cardiometabolic disease.

Abstract
We describe application of spectral analysis of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) signals to investigation of cerebrovascular haemodynamics in patients with post-acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and cerebrovascular insufficiency. LDF was performed from 3 to 7 days after the onset of AIS on forehead in the right and left supraorbital regions in patients. Analysis of LDF signals showed that perfusion in the microvasculature in AIS patients was lower than that in patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency. As a result of wavelet analysis of the LDF signals we obtained activation of the vasomotion in the frequency range of myogenic oscillation of 0.1 Hz and predominantly nutritive regime microcirculation after systemic thrombolytic therapy of the AIS patients. In case of significant stroke size, myogenic activity, and nutritive pattern microhaemodynamics were reduced, in some cases non-nutritive pattern and/or venular stasis was revealed. Wavelet analysis of the LDF signals also showed asymmetry in wavelet spectra of the LDF signals obtained in stroke-affected and unaffected hemispheres in the AIS patients. A mechanism underlying the observed asymmetry was analyzed by computational modeling of vasomotion developed in Arciero and Secomb (2012). We applied this model to describe relaxation oscillation of arteriole diameter which is forced by myogenic oscillation induced by synchronous calcium oscillation in vascular smooth muscle cells. Calculation showed that vasomotion frequency spectrum at the low-frequency range (0.01 Hz) is reciprocally modulated by myogenic oscillation (0.1 Hz) that correlates with experimental observation of inter-hemispheric variation in the LDF spectrum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This research is aimed at studying the features of skin blood flow oscillations in patients with severe persistent atopic BA during a period of fine control over symptoms. METHODS The study of microcirculation was carried out by LDF at rest and in response to a transient ischemia in 20 patients. The time-amplitude adaptive wavelet analysis of the blood flow oscillations was conducted to elucidate the peculiarities of microcirculatory regulation system functioning. RESULTS No significant changes were revealed for SBP and the oscillation amplitudes in the cardiac (0.6-2 Hz) and respiratory (0.145-0.6 Hz) intervals, both at rest and in response to transient ischemia, in patients compared to the control group. A consistent twofold decrease in the oscillation amplitudes was found in the neurogenic (0.021-0.052 Hz) interval at rest, as well as in the myogenic (0.052-0.145 Hz) and NO-dependent endothelial (0.0095-0.021 Hz) intervals both at rest and during the postocclusive reactive hyperemia in patients with lung obstruction (FEV1 < 80%) in comparison with a control group. CONCLUSIONS The amplitudes of skin blood flow oscillations in the myogenic, neurogenic and NO-dependent endothelial intervals in patients with obstruction are different from those in patients without obstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with chronic leg ischemia, the beneficial effect of arterial revascularization can be significantly decreased due to postoperative leg swelling. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) on skin flow normalization in patients undergoing revascularization procedures due to chronic leg ischemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated 116 patients with chronic leg ischemia. The patients were divided into groups according to the performed treatment (endovascular or surgical) and implementation of IPC postoperatively. The leg edema assessment and microcirculation flow assessment were performed pre- and postoperatively, using percutaneous O2 pressure (TcpO2), cutaneous blood perfusion (CBP) measurements, and skin flow motion assessment. RESULTS In patients who did not receive IPC, a decrease in CBP value was observed in the 1st postoperative assessment. Among patients receiving IPC, the CBD value increased at the 1st and 2nd postoperative measurements, especially in the surgical group. The lowest TcpO2 values were observed in by-pass surgery group without IPC postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS The benefits of the by-pass procedure in patients with leg ischemia can be significantly reduced by postoperative edema. Among patients with postoperative leg edema, local tissue blood perfusion can be improved by the use of IPC, which can result in decreased local leg swelling, as well as improved skin blood perfusion and TcpO2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies demonstrated that digital thermal monitoring (DTM) of vascular reactivity, a new test for vascular function assessment, is well correlated with Framingham Risk Score, coronary calcium score and CT angiography. This study evaluates the variability and reproducibility of DTM measurements. We hypothesized that DTM is reproducible, and its variability falls within the accepted range of clinical diagnostic tests. METHOD A fully automated DTM device (VENDYS, Endothelix Inc., Houston, TX, USA) was used for repeated measurement of vascular function in 18 healthy volunteers (age 35 ± 4 years, 74% men) after 24 h. All subjects underwent overnight fasting, and the test was preceded by 30-min rest in a supine position inside a dimmed room with temperature 22-24°C. The measurements were obtained during and after a 2-min supra systolic arm-cuff occlusion-induced reactive hyperaemia procedure. As a part of this study, the Doppler ultrasound hyperaemic, low-frequency, blood velocity of radial artery and a fingertip DTM of vascular function were compared simultaneously. Postcuff deflation temperature rebound and area under the curve, DTM indices of vascular function, were studied. RESULTS Temperature rebound area under the curve correlated closely with Doppler hyperaemic, low-frequency, blood velocity (r = 0·97, P = 0·0001). Day-to-day intra-subject variability was 6·2% for baseline temperature, 8·7% for mean blood pressure and 11·4% for heart rate. The coefficient of repeatability of temperature rebound and area under the curve were 2·4% and 2·8%. CONCLUSION In a controlled environment, the repeatability of DTM is excellent. DTM can be used as a reproducible and operator-independent test for non-invasive measurement of vascular function.
