Abstract
Using diffuse correlation spectroscopy, we assessed the renal blood flow and thigh muscle microvascular responses in a rat model of type 2 diabetes. The blood flow index at the renal surface decreased significantly with arterial clamping, cardiac extirpation, and the progression of diabetic endothelial dysfunction. Renal blood flow measured in diabetic and nondiabetic rats also showed a significant correlation with the reactive hyperemic response of the thigh muscle. These results suggest shared microcirculatory dysfunction in the kidney and skeletal muscle and support endothelial responses in the skeletal muscle as a potential noninvasive biomarker of renal hypoperfusion.

Abstract
Diffuse correlation spectroscopy faces challenges concerning the contamination of cutaneous and deep tissue blood flow. We propose a long short-term memory network to directly quantify the flow rates of shallow and deep-layer tissues. By exploiting the different contributions of shallow and deep-layer flow rates to auto-correlation functions, we accurately predict the shallow and deep-layer flow rates (RMSE = 0.047 and 0.034 ml/min/100 g of simulated tissue, R2 = 0.99 and 0.99, respectively) in a two-layer flow phantom experiment. This approach is useful in evaluating the blood flow responses of active muscles, where both cutaneous and deep-muscle blood flow increase with exercise.

Reactive Hyperemia and Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Systematic Review of Randomized and Nonrandomized Clinical Trials. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59040770. [PMID: 37109728 PMCID: PMC10141598 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59040770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
Objective: This work aimed to determine the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and reactive hyperemia (RH) in type 2 diabetes patients with and without cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN). Methodology: A systematic review of randomized and nonrandomized clinical studies characterizing reactive hyperemia and autonomic activity in type 2 diabetes patients with and without CAN was performed. Results: Five articles showed differences in RH between healthy subjects and diabetic patients with and/or without neuropathy, while one study did not show such differences between healthy subjects and diabetic patients, but patients with diabetic ulcers had lower RH index values compared to healthy controls. Another study found no significant difference in blood flow after a muscle strain that induced reactive hyperemia between normal subjects and non-smoking diabetic patients. Four studies measured reactive hyperemia using peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT); only two found a significantly lower endothelial-function-derived measure of PAT in diabetic patients than in those without CAN. Four studies measured reactive hyperemia using flow-mediated dilation (FMD), but no significant differences were reported between diabetic patients with and without CAN. Two studies measured RH using laser Doppler techniques; one of them found significant differences in the blood flow of calf skin after stretching between diabetic non-smokers and smokers. The diabetic smokers had neurogenic activity at baseline that was significantly lower than that of the normal subjects. The greatest evidence revealed that the differences in RH between diabetic patients with and without CAN may depend on both the method used to measure hyperemia and that applied for the ANS examination as well as the type of autonomic deficit present in the patients. Conclusions: In diabetic patients, there is a deterioration in the vasodilator response to the reactive hyperemia maneuver compared to healthy subjects, which depends in part on endothelial and autonomic dysfunction. Blood flow alterations in diabetic patients during RH are mainly mediated by sympathetic dysfunction. The greatest evidence suggests a relationship between ANS and RH; however, there are no significant differences in RH between diabetic patients with and without CAN, as measured using FMD. When the flow of the microvascular territory is measured, the differences between diabetics with and without CAN become evident. Therefore, RH measured using PAT may reflect diabetic neuropathic changes with greater sensitivity compared to FMD.

Matsuda Y, Nakabayashi M, Suzuki T, Zhang S, Ichinose M, Ono Y. Evaluation of Local Skeletal Muscle Blood Flow in Manipulative Therapy by Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 9:800051.

Abstract
Manipulative therapy (MT) is applied to motor organs through a therapist’s hands. Although MT has been utilized in various medical treatments based on its potential role for increasing the blood flow to the local muscle, a quantitative validation of local muscle blood flow in MT remains challenging due to the lack of appropriate bedside evaluation techniques. Therefore, we investigated changes in the local blood flow to the muscle undergoing MT by employing diffuse correlation spectroscopy, a portable and emerging optical measurement technology that non-invasively measures blood flow in deep tissues. This study investigated the changes in blood flow, heart rate, blood pressure, and autonomic nervous activity in the trapezius muscle through MT application in 30 volunteers without neck and shoulder injury. Five minutes of MT significantly increased the median local blood flow relative to that of the pre-MT period (p < 0.05). The post-MT local blood flow increase was significantly higher in the MT condition than in the control condition, where participants remained still without receiving MT for the same time (p < 0.05). However, MT did not affect the heart rate, blood pressure, or cardiac autonomic nervous activity. The post-MT increase in muscle blood flow was significantly higher in the participants with muscle stiffness in the neck and shoulder regions than in those without (p < 0.05). These results suggest that MT could increase the local blood flow to the target skeletal muscle, with minimal effects on systemic circulatory function.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial function deteriorates with age and disease, and the production of vasodilator factors like nitric oxide (NO) decreases. The free amino acid l-citrulline increases vasodilation and blood flow through increased NO production. We examined the effects of oral l-citrulline administration on vascular delivery of substances to skeletal muscles. In Experiment 1, following oral l-citrulline administration and subsequent intravenous Evans blue dye (EBD) administration to rats, EBD levels delivered to skeletal muscles were measured after 60 min. In Experiment 2, plasma concentrations of amino acids and NOx, an indicator of vasodilation, were measured over time after oral l-citrulline administration. In Experiment 3, we measured EBD levels in skeletal muscles of streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic rats following l-citrulline administration. In these experiments, EBD levels in the soleus muscle were higher in the l-citrulline group than in the control group (19.9 ± 0.7 vs. 22.5 ± 1.9 μg/g tissue, p < 0.05). Plasma l-arginine, l-citrulline, and NOx levels were increased within 30 min after l-citrulline administration. EBD levels in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles were higher in diabetic rats with l-citrulline administration (18.7 ± 2.2 vs. 25.0 ± 4.3 μg/g tissue, p < 0.05 and 8.0 ± 0.5 vs. 9.2 ± 0.8 μg/g tissue, p = 0.05, respectively). These data suggest that oral l-citrulline administration may increase the level of substances delivered to skeletal muscles by increasing the NO production in both normal and vascular endothelial dysfunction models. l-Citrulline (CIT) increases blood flow and induces vasorelaxation. CIT increased dye delivery to soleus but not gastrocnemius muscles in normal rats. CIT administration increased the blood levels of l-arginine and NOx. CIT led to higher dye delivery to soleus and gastrocnemius muscles in diabetic rats. CIT increase vascular delivery in skeletal muscles through increasing NO production.

Abstract
AIMS Post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) remains poorly understood in the skeletal muscle system. This study was designed to validate an alternative strategy of PORH detection in rodents. Additionally, we explored the hypothesis that PORH is influenced by experimental models associated with impaired function of the skeletal muscle. MATERIALS AND METHODS Wistar rats were anesthetized, and blood flow was assessed by laser Doppler in the anterior tibialis muscle, before and immediately after 5 s, 30 s, 3 min, or 5 min of flow occlusion, obtained through a cuff inflated to 300 mmHg around the thigh of the animals. KEY FINDINGS In healthy animals, deflating the cuff resulted in a fast increment of local blood flow, characterizing the PORH after 5 s to 5 min of cuff occlusion and its dependence on flow occlusion duration. Importantly, we found different profiles of PORH in animals pretreated with reserpine (accelerated peak and reduced half recovery time), streptozotocin (increased peak), or subjected to muscle contraction in stretching (delayed peak), approaches used as experimental models to study fibromyalgia, type II diabetes mellitus, and soreness induced by unaccustomed eccentric exercise, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE We demonstrated that the profile of PORH in the anterior tibialis muscle of rats is sensitive to a variety of experimental models often associated with the skeletal muscle functionality, providing a useful strategy to explore how and whether changes in local regulation of blood flow can contribute to the development of skeletal muscle associated symptoms in clinically relevant conditions.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). The typical manifestation is a length-dependent "glove and sock" sensation. At present, diagnosis is mainly dependent on clinical manifestations. Since the pathogenesis is not clear, there are no effective treatment measures. Management consists mainly of glucose control, peripheral nerve nutrition, and other measures to delay the progress of the disease; early diagnosis is therefore crucial to improving prognosis and quality of life for patients with DPN. Due to the lack of obvious symptoms in 50% of patients and the low sensitivity of neuro-electrophysiology to small fibers, the missed diagnosis rate is high. High-resolution ultrasound (HRU), as a convenient noninvasive tool, has been proven by many studies to have excellent clinical value in diagnosing DPN. With the development of related new technology, HRU shows promise for the screening, diagnosing, and follow-up of DPN, which could serve as a biomarker and provide new diagnostic insights. In this paper, we review the ability of HRU to detect nerve cross-sectional area and blood flow, and echo and other image changes, and in showing the characteristics of peripheral nerve morphological changes in patients with DPN. We also explore the application of two other recent technological developments-shear wave elastography (SWE) and ultrasound scoring systems-in improving the diagnostic efficiency of HRU in peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract
Previous studies showed that conduit artery blood flow rapidly increases after even a brief contraction of muscles within the dependent limb. Whether this rapid hyperemia occurs within contracted skeletal muscle in humans has yet to be confirmed, however. We therefore used diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) to characterize the rapid hyperemia and vasodilatory responses within the muscle microvasculature induced by single muscle contractions in humans. Twenty-five healthy male volunteers performed single 1-s isometric handgrips at 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% of maximum voluntary contraction. DCS probes were placed on the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle, and a skeletal muscle blood flow index (SMBFI) was derived continuously. At the same time, brachial artery blood flow (BABF) responses were measured using Doppler ultrasound. Single muscle contractions evoked rapid, monophasic increases in both SMBFI and BABF that occurred within 3 s after release of contraction. The initial and peak responses increased with increases in contraction intensity and were greater for BABF than for SMBFI at all intensities. BABF reached its peak within 5 to 8 s after the end of contraction. The SMBFI continued to increase after the BABF passed its peak and was decreasing toward the resting level and peaked about 10 to 15 s after completion of the contraction. We conclude that single muscle contractions induce rapid, intensity-dependent hyperemia within the contracted skeletal muscle microvasculature. Moreover, the characteristics of the rapid hyperemia and vasodilatory responses of skeletal muscle microvessels differ from those simultaneously evaluated in the upstream conduit artery.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Through the concurrent use of diffuse correlation spectroscopy and Doppler ultrasound, we provide the first evidence in humans that a single brief muscle contraction evokes rapid, intensity-dependent hyperemia within the contracted skeletal muscle microvasculature and the upstream conduit artery. We also show that the magnitude and time course of the contraction-induced rapid hyperemia and vasodilatory responses within skeletal muscle microvessels significantly differ from those in the conduit artery.

Abstract
An angiosome refers to a 3D tissue volume that is vascularized by a single artery and is a relatively new concept that is useful in vascular surgery; however, the direct relationship between arterial blood flow and micro-perfusion is still controversial. Here, we propose a diffuse speckle contrast analysis (DSCA), which is an emerging tissue perfusion monitoring modality, to investigate the correlations among low frequency oscillations (LFOs) measured from different areas on the feet of healthy subjects. We obtained reproducible results from the correlation analyses of LFOs, and their physiological implications were discussed. In order to confirm the changes in the frequency oscillations, we analyzed and compared the power spectral density changes due to heart rate variability in the electrocardiographic signal during reactive hyperemia and head-up tilt protocols.

Abstract
We investigated the integration of sympathetic vasoconstriction and local vasodilation in the skeletal muscle and skin microvasculature of humans. In 39 healthy volunteers, we simultaneously measured the blood flow index in the flexor carpi radialis muscle using diffuse correlation spectroscopy and the skin using laser‐Doppler flowmetry. We examined the effects of acute sympathoexcitation induced by forehead cooling on relatively weak and robust vasodilatory responses during postocclusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) induced by 70‐sec and 10‐min arterial occlusion in the upper arm. To increase sympathetic tone during PORH, forehead cooling was begun 60 sec before the occlusion release and ended 60 sec after the release. In the 70‐sec occlusion trials, acute sympathoexcitation reduced the peak and duration of vasodilation in both skeletal muscle and skin. The inhibition of vasodilation by sympathoexcitation was blunted in both tissues by the robust vasodilatory stimulation produced by the 10‐min occlusion, and the degree of blunting was greater in skeletal muscle than in skin, especially the initial and peak responses. Sympathoexcitation reduced the peak vasodilation only in skin, while it accelerated the initial vasodilation only in skeletal muscle. However, the decline in vasodilation after the peak was significantly hastened in skeletal muscle, shortening the duration of the vasodilation. We conclude that, in humans, the integration of sympathetic vasoconstriction and local vasodilation has different effects in skeletal muscle and skin and is likely an important contributor to the selective control of perfusion in the microcirculations of different tissues.
