Multiparameter wide-field integrated optical imaging system-based spatially modulated illumination and laser speckles in model of tissue injuries. JOURNAL OF BIOPHOTONICS 2019; 12:e201900141. [PMID: 31187933 DOI: 10.1002/jbio.201900141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2019] [Revised: 06/03/2019] [Accepted: 06/07/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
In this report, an integrated optical platform based on spatial illumination together with laser speckle contrast technique was utilized to measure multiple parameters in live tissue including absorption, scattering, saturation, composition, metabolism, and blood flow. Measurements in three models of tissue injury including drug toxicity, artery occlusion, and acute hyperglycemia were used to test the efficacy of this system. With this hybrid apparatus, a series of structured light patterns at low and high spatial frequencies are projected onto the tissue surface and diffuse reflected light is captured by a CCD camera. A six position filter wheel, equipped with four bandpass filters centered at wavelengths of 650, 690, 800 and 880 nm is placed in front of the camera. Then, light patterns are blocked and a laser source at 650 nm illuminates the tissue while the diffusely reflected light is captured by the camera through the two remaining open holes in the wheel. In this manner, near-infrared (NIR) and laser speckle images are captured and stored together in the computer for off-line processing to reconstruct the tissue's properties. Spatial patterns are used to differentiate the effects of tissue scattering from those of absorption, allowing accurate quantification of tissue hemodynamics and morphology, while a coherent light source is used to study blood flow changes, a feature which cannot be measured with the NIR structured light. This combined configuration utilizes the strengths of each system in a complementary way, thus collecting a larger range of sample properties. In addition, once the flow and hemodynamics are measured, tissue oxygen metabolism can be calculated, a property which cannot be measured independently. Therefore, this merged platform can be considered a multiparameter wide-field imaging and spectroscopy modality. Overall, experiments demonstrate the capability of this spatially coregistered imaging setup to provide complementary, useful information of various tissue metrics in a simple and noncontact manner, making it attractive for use in a variety of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Glucose transporter 2 (Glut2)-positive cells are sparsely distributed in brain and play an important role in the stimulation of glucagon secretion in response to hypoglycemia. We aimed to determine if Glut2-positive cells can influence another response to hypoglycemia, i.e. increased cerebral blood flow (CBF). CBF of adult male mice devoid of Glut2, either globally (ripglut1:glut2-/-) or in the nervous system only (NG2KO), and their respective controls were studied under basal glycemia and insulin-induced hypoglycemia using quantitative perfusion magnetic resonance imaging at 9.4 T. The effect on CBF of optogenetic activation of hypoglycemia responsive Glut2-positive neurons of the paraventricular thalamic area was measured in mice expressing channelrhodopsin2 under the control of the Glut2 promoter. We found that in both ripglut1:glut2-/- mice and NG2KO mice, CBF in basal conditions was higher than in their respective controls and not further activated by hypoglycemia, as measured in the hippocampus, hypothalamus and whole brain. Conversely, optogenetic activation of Glut2-positive cells in the paraventricular thalamic nucleus induced a local increase in CBF similar to that induced by hypoglycemia. Thus, Glut2 expression in the nervous system is required for the control of CBF in response to changes in blood glucose concentrations.

Decreased cerebral blood flow and hemodynamic parameters during acute hyperglycemia in mice model observed by dual-wavelength speckle imaging. JOURNAL OF BIOPHOTONICS 2019; 12:e201900002. [PMID: 30950209 DOI: 10.1002/jbio.201900002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2019] [Revised: 02/25/2019] [Accepted: 04/02/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we use dual-wavelength optical imaging-based laser speckle technique to assess cerebral blood flow and metabolic parameters in a mouse model of acute hyperglycemia (high blood glucose). The effect of acute glucose levels on physiological processes has been extensively described in multiple organ systems such as retina, kidney, and others. We postulated that hyperglycemia also alters brain function, which in turn can be monitored optically using dual-wavelength laser speckle imaging (DW-LSI) platform. DW-LSI is a wide-field, noncontact optical imaging modality that integrates the principles of laser flowmetry and oximetry to obtain macroscopic information such as hemoglobin concentration and blood flow. A total of eight mice (C57/BL6) were used, randomized into two groups of normoglycemia (control, n = 3) and hyperglycemia (n = 5). Hyperglycemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of a commonly used anesthetic drug combining ketamine and xylazine (KX combo). We found that this KX combo increases blood glucose (BG) levels from 150 to 350 mg/dL, approximately, when measured 18 minutes post-administration. BG continues to increase throughout the test period, with BG reaching an average of 463 ± 20.34 mg/dL within 60 minutes. BG levels were measured every 10 minutes from tail blood using commercially available glucometer. Experimental results demonstrated reductions in cerebral blood flow (CBF) by 55%, tissue oxygen saturation (SO2 ) by 15%, and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2 ) by 75% following acute hyperglycemia. The observed decrease in these parameters was consistent with results reported in the literature, measured by a variety of experimental techniques. Measurements with laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) were also performed which confirmed a reduction in CBF following acute hyperglycemia. In summary, our findings indicate that acute hyperglycemia modified brain hemodynamic response and induced significant changes in blood flow and metabolism. As far as we are aware, the implementation of the DW-LSI to monitor brain hemodynamic and metabolic response to acute hyperglycemia in intact mouse brain has not been previously reported.

Abstract
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a full-field, noncontact imaging technology for mapping blood flow with high spatio-temporal resolution, in which the speckle contrast can be estimated either in spatial domain or temporal domain. Temporal LSCI (tLSCI) provides higher spatial resolution than spatial domain does. However, when the number of sampling frames is limited, it is difficult to obtain accurate blood flow velocity owing to the significant statistical noise. The widely used spatially averaged tLSCI (savg-tLSCI) usually requires a large number of sampling frames to obtain acceptable denoising performance. Here, based on the nonlocal filtering strategy of block-matching and three-dimensional transform-domain collaborative filtering (BM3D), Manhattan distance-based adaptive BM3D (MD-ABM3D) is proposed to effectively manage the complicated inhomogeneous noise in tLSCI image and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Manhattan distance improves the accuracy of the block matching in strong noise, and the adaptive algorithm adapts to the inhomogeneous noise and estimates suitable parameters for improved denoising. MD-ABM3D improves 4.91 dB in peak signal-to-noise ratio relative to savg-tLSCI. It achieves stability for denoising tLSCI image with different temporal windows. The image-quality evaluation of MD-ABM3D for tLSCI (t = 20 frames) equals that of savg-tLSCI (t = 60 frames). It achieves high signal-to-noise ratio with a reduced number of sampling frames. A reduced number of sampling frames are more practical for biomedical applications. It also offers higher temporal resolution and less disturbance from the motion of the moving object.

The impact of fasting on resting state brain networks in mice. Sci Rep 2019; 9:2976.

Abstract
Fasting is known to influence learning and memory in mice and alter the neural networks that subserve these cognitive functions. We used high-resolution functional MRI to study the impact of fasting on resting-state functional connectivity in mice following 12 h of fasting. The cortex and subcortex were parcellated into 52 subregions and functional connectivity was measured between each pair of subregions in groups of fasted and non-fasted mice. Functional connectivity was globally increased in the fasted group compared to the non-fasted group, with the most significant increases evident between the hippocampus (bilateral), retrosplenial cortex (left), visual cortex (left) and auditory cortex (left). Functional brain networks in the non-fasted group comprised five segregated modules of strongly interconnected subregions, whereas the fasted group comprised only three modules. The amplitude of low frequency fluctuations (ALFF) was decreased in the ventromedial hypothalamus in the fasted group. Correlation in gamma oscillations derived from local field potentials was increased between the left visual and retrosplenial cortices in the fasted group and the power of gamma oscillations was reduced in the ventromedial hypothalamus. These results indicate that fasting induces profound changes in functional connectivity, most likely resulting from altered coupling of neuronal gamma oscillations.

Abstract
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a full-field optical imaging method for monitoring blood flow and vascular morphology with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, due to the limited depth of field of optical system, it is difficult to capture a clear blood flow image with all blood vessels focused, especially for the non-planar biological tissues. In this study, a multi-focus image fusion method based on contourlet transform is introduced to reduce the misfocus effects in LSCI. The experimental results suggest that this method can provide an all-in-focus blood flow image, which is convenient to observe the blood vessels.

Abstract
Laser speckle contrast imaging can be used to estimate changes in blood flow velocity in either the spatial or temporal domain. Temporal speckle contrast analysis provides higher spatial resolution than spatial speckle contrast does. However, owing to limitations of the statistical sample size in practical applications, the speckle contrast obtained consistently fluctuates around an accurate value. It is important to reveal the quantitative relationship between the statistical sample size and fluctuations of temporal speckle contrast. In this Letter, we present a new model for temporal speckle contrast that accounts for the effects of statistical size owing to the finite frames of the speckle images used for temporal analysis. Furthermore, an expression for estimating the fluctuations of temporal speckle contrast is derived. Both phantom and animal experiment results support our theoretical model.

Abstract
Background: Hyperglycaemia is associated with a worse outcome in acute ischaemic stroke patients; yet the pathophysiological mechanisms of hyperglycaemia-induced damage are poorly understood. We hypothesised that hyperglycaemia at the time of stroke onset exacerbates ischaemic brain damage by increasing the severity of the blood flow deficit. Methods: Adult, male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to receive vehicle or glucose solutions prior to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion. Cerebral blood flow was assessed semi-quantitatively either 1 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion using 99mTc-D, L-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO) autoradiography or, in a separate study, using quantitative pseudo-continuous arterial spin labelling for 4 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion. Diffusion weighted imaging was performed alongside pseudo-continuous arterial spin labelling and acute lesion volumes calculated from apparent diffusion coefficient maps. Infarct volume was measured at 24 h using rapid acquisition with refocused echoes T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Results: Glucose administration had no effect on the severity of ischaemia when assessed by either 99mTc-HMPAO autoradiography or pseudo-continuous arterial spin labelling perfusion imaging. In comparison to the vehicle group, apparent diffusion coefficient–derived lesion volume 2–4 h post-middle cerebral artery occlusion and infarct volume 24 h post-middle cerebral artery occlusion were significantly greater in the glucose group. Conclusions: Hyperglycaemia increased acute lesion and infarct volumes but there was no evidence that the acute blood flow deficit was exacerbated. The data reinforce the conclusion that the detrimental effects of hyperglycaemia are rapid, and that treatment of post-stroke hyperglycaemia in the acute period is essential but the mechanisms of hyperglycaemia-induced harm remain unclear.

Abstract
Neural activity leads to alterations in cerebral blood flow (CBF), i.e., neurovascular regulation, which is implicated in brain physiology and pathology. Here a method for simultaneous imaging of CBF and spatially selective photoactivation of neural activity is proposed. CBF was obtained by laser speckle contrast imaging, and a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) was used to generate photoactivation patterns targeting designated locations in the cortex. Animal experiments stimulating defined cortical regions of VGAT-ChR2 and wild-type mice were conducted, and experiments with low-intensity stimulation were performed to investigate the influence of background light produced by the LC-SLM.

Abstract
Elastography is an attractive technique for quantifying the mechanical properties of biological tissue. Here, we report an elastography method with low-frame-rate laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) using the aliasing effect. This method needs only one excitation source, a low-frame-rate camera, and no synchronization between excitation and acquisition. The accuracy of the elasticity measurement was validated on tissue-mimicking phantoms by comparing the value with the elasticity measured by a high-frame-rate LSCI and by the rheometer. Elastography was also performed on chicken breast in vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep deprivation (SD) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have been commonly used to treat depression. Recent studies suggest that co-therapy with rTMS and SD may produce better therapeutic effects than either therapy alone. Therefore, this study was to review the current findings to determine if rTMS can augment the therapeutic effects of SD on depression. METHODS Embase, JSTOR, Medline, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for clinical studies published between January 1985 and March 2015 using the search term "rTMS/repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation AND sleep deprivation AND depress*". Only randomized and sham-controlled trials (RCTs) involving the combined use of rTMS and SD in depression patients were included in this systematic review. The scores of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression were extracted as primary outcome measures. RESULTS Three RCTs with 72 patients that met the inclusion criteria were included for the systematic review. One of the trials reported skewed data and was described alone. The other two studies, which involved 30 patients in the experimental group (SD + active rTMS) and 22 patients in the control group (SD + sham rTMS), reported normally distributed data. The primary outcome measures showed different results among the three publications: two of which showed great difference between the experimental and the control subjects, and the other one showed non-significant antidepressant effect of rTMS on SD. In addition, two of the included studies reported secondary outcome measures with Clinical Global Impression Rating Scale and a self-reported well-being scale which presented good improvement for the depressive patients in the experiment group when compared with the control. The follow-up assessments in two studies indicated maintained results with the immediate measurements. CONCLUSIONS From this study, an overview of the publications concerning the combined use of rTMS and SD is presented, which provides a direction for future research of therapies for depression. More studies are needed to confirm whether there is an augmentative antidepressant effect of rTMS on SD.

Abstract
Spreading depression (SD) is a transient wave of near-complete neuronal and glial depolarization associated with massive transmembrane ionic and water shifts. It is evolutionarily conserved in the central nervous systems of a wide variety of species from locust to human. The depolarization spreads slowly at a rate of only millimeters per minute by way of grey matter contiguity, irrespective of functional or vascular divisions, and lasts up to a minute in otherwise normal tissue. As such, SD is a radically different breed of electrophysiological activity compared with everyday neural activity, such as action potentials and synaptic transmission. Seventy years after its discovery by Leão, the mechanisms of SD and its profound metabolic and hemodynamic effects are still debated. What we did learn of consequence, however, is that SD plays a central role in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases including migraine, ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. An intriguing overlap among them is that they are all neurovascular disorders. Therefore, the interplay between neurons and vascular elements is critical for our understanding of the impact of this homeostatic breakdown in patients. The challenges of translating experimental data into human pathophysiology notwithstanding, this review provides a detailed account of bidirectional interactions between brain parenchyma and the cerebral vasculature during SD and puts this in the context of neurovascular diseases.

Abstract
Inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a potential target of therapy for ischemic injury. sEH metabolizes neuroprotective epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). We recently demonstrated that sEH inhibition reduces infarct size after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in type 1 diabetic mice. We hypothesized that inhibition of sEH would protect against ischemic injury in type 2 diabetic mice. Type 2 diabetes was produced by combined high-fat diet, nicotinamide and streptozotocin in male mice. Diabetic and control mice were treated with vehicle or the sEH inhibitor t-AUCB then subjected to 60-min MCAO. Compared to chow-fed mice, high fat diet-fed mice exhibited an upregulation of sEH mRNA and protein in brain, but no differences in brain EETs levels were observed between groups. Type 2 diabetic mice had increased blood glucose levels at baseline and throughout ischemia, decreased laser-Doppler perfusion of the MCA territory after reperfusion, and sustained larger cortical infarcts compared to control mice. t-AUCB decreased fasting glucose levels at baseline and throughout ischemia, improved cortical perfusion after MCAO and significantly reduced infarct size in diabetic mice. We conclude that sEH inhibition, as a preventative treatment, improves glycemic status, post-ischemic reperfusion in the ischemic territory, and stroke outcome in type 2 diabetic mice.

Abstract
Fetuses at risk of premature delivery are now routinely exposed to maternal treatment with synthetic glucocorticoids. In randomized clinical trials, these substantially reduce acute neonatal systemic morbidity, and mortality, after premature birth and reduce intraventricular hemorrhage. However, the overall neurodevelopmental impact is surprisingly unclear; worryingly, postnatal glucocorticoids are consistently associated with impaired brain development. We review the clinical and experimental evidence on how glucocorticoids may affect the developing brain and highlight the need for systematic research.

Abstract
Stroke is a devastating disease. The changes in cerebral hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism associated with stroke play an important role in pathophysiology study. But the changes were difficult to describe with a single imaging modality. Here the changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and oxygen saturation (SO2) were yielded with laser speckle imaging (LSI) and photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) during and after 3-h acute focal ischemic rats. These hemodynamic measures were further synthesized to deduce the changes in oxygen extraction fraction (OEF). The results indicate that all the hemodynamics except CBV had rapid declines within 40-min occlusion of middle cerebral artery (MCAO). CBV in arteries and veins first increased to the maximum value of 112.42 ± 36.69% and 130.58 ± 31.01% by 15 min MCAO; then all the hemodynamics had a persistent reduction with small fluctuations during the ischemic. When ischemia lasted for 3 h, CBF in arteries, veins decreased to 17 ± 14.65%, 24.52 ± 20.66%, respectively, CBV dropped to 62 ± 18.56% and 59 ± 18.48%. And the absolute SO2 decreased by 40.52 ± 22.42% and 54.24 ± 11.77%. After 180-min MCAO, the changes in hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism were also quantified. The study suggested that combining LSI and PAM provides an attractive approach for stroke detection in small animal studies.

Abstract
Automatic separation of arteries and veins in optical cerebral cortex images is important in clinical practice and preclinical study. In this paper, a simple but effective automatic artery-vein separation method which utilizes single-wavelength coherent illumination is presented. This method is based on the relative temporal minimum reflectance analysis of laser speckle images. The validation is demonstrated with both theoretic simulations and experimental results applied to the rat cortex. Moreover, this method can be combined with laser speckle contrast analysis so that the artery-vein separation and blood flow imaging can be simultaneously obtained using the same raw laser speckle images data to enable more accurate analysis of changes of cerebral blood flow within different tissue compartments during functional activation, disease dynamic, and neurosurgery, which may broaden the applications of laser speckle imaging in biology and medicine.

Abstract
The ability to monitor blood flow in vivo is of major importance in clinical diagnosis and in basic researches of life science. As a noninvasive full-field technique without the need of scanning, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is widely used to study blood flow with high spatial and temporal resolution. Current LSCI systems are based on personal computers for image processing with large size, which potentially limit the widespread clinical utility. The need for portable laser speckle contrast imaging system that does not compromise processing efficiency is crucial in clinical diagnosis. However, the processing of laser speckle contrast images is time-consuming due to the heavy calculation for enormous high-resolution image data. To address this problem, a portable laser speckle perfusion imaging system based on digital signal processor (DSP) and the algorithm which is suitable for DSP is described. With highly integrated DSP and the algorithm, we have markedly reduced the size and weight of the system as well as its energy consumption while preserving the high processing speed. In vivo experiments demonstrate that our portable laser speckle perfusion imaging system can obtain blood flow images at 25 frames per second with the resolution of 640 × 480 pixels. The portable and lightweight features make it capable of being adapted to a wide variety of application areas such as research laboratory, operating room, ambulance, and even disaster site.

Abstract
Brain glucose exposure may complicate diabetes and obesity. We used positron emission tomography with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose in Zucker obese, diabetic, and control rats to determine the contributions of blood glucose mass action versus local mechanisms in regulating central glucose disposal in fasted and acutely glucose-stimulated states, and their adaptations in obesity and diabetes. Our study data indicate that brain glucose uptake is dependent on both local and mass action components, and is stimulated by acute glucose intake in healthy rats. In diseased animals, the organ was chronically overexposed to glucose, due to high fasting glucose uptake, almost abolishing the physiologic response to glucose loading.
