Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a repeatable non-destructive method for measurement of bone blood flow in the tibia of the dog. Flow was measured by the residue function technique utilizing [125I]iodoantipyrine (IAP). The percentages of IAP in bone (both cortex and marrow) and in muscle were relatively constant during the 15-minute washout period. From 16 washout curves obtained by femoral artery catheterization, mean (±SE) blood flow (in ml/ml tissue per min) was 0.0159±0.0010 for cortical bone, 0.067±0.004 for adipose marrow, and 0.0816±0.0051 for muscle.

Résumé

Le but de cette étude a consisté à mettre au point une méthode non-destructive et reproductible pour mesurer le débit sanguin osseux au niveau du tibia du chien. Le débit est mesuré par la technique de fonctionnement des résidues en utilisant (125I) iodoantipyrine (IAP). Les pourcentages d'IAP dans l'os (à la fois le cortex et la moëlle) et dans le muslce sont relativement constants pendant une période de lavage de 15 minutes. A partir de 16 courbes de lavage, obtenues par cathétérisation de l'artère femorale, le débit sanguin (en ml/ml de tissu par min) moyen (ISE) est de 0.0159±0.0010 pour l'os cortical, 0.067±0.004 pour la moëlle graisseuse et 0.0816±0.0051 pour le muscle.

Zusammenfassung

Der Zweck dieser Arbeit war, eine wiederholbare, nicht destruktive Methode zur Messung der Blutströmungsverhältnisse in der Tibia beim Hund zu entwickeln. Die Strömung wurde mittels der Residualfunktionen Technik, unter Verwendung von (125J)-Jodantipyrin (IAP) gemessen. Die prozentualen Anteile von IAP im Knochen (Cortex und Mark) und im Muskel waren während der 15-minütigen Auswachperiode relativ konstant. Die Auswertung der Kurven von 16 Auswaschversuchen, die durch Katheterisierung der Femoralarterie gewonnen wurden, ergaben eine mittlere Blutströmungsgeschwindigkeit (±SE in ml/ml Gewebe pro Minute) von 0.0159±0.0010 im kortikalen Knochen; von 0.067±0.004 im Fettmark und von 0.0816±0.0051 im Muskel.
