Abstract:
Objective The use of in vivo cryotechnique (IVCT) in combination with electrocardiograph (ECG) to study cardiac microcirculation under different hemodynamic conditions in living mouse.Methods Living mouse heart monitored by electrocardiograph was suffered from IVCT and freezing substitution under normal blood flow,myocardial ischemia or cardiac arrest conditions.Hematoxylin eosin (HE)staining,Schiff's staining and immunofluorescence staining for serum albumin,immunoglobulin were utilized on continuous paraffin sections,respectively.Confocal microscopy and statistical analyses were used.Results Comparing with normal hemodynamics,microvascular red cell volume reduction,morphology changed,myocardial cell glycogen loss,serum albumin ectopic distribution to myocardial cytoplasm,T tubular network failure and spacing width were happened in myocardial iscbemia condition; different shapes of red blood cells,myocardial cells glycogen deficiency,T tubular network failure and interval narrowing were found under cardiac arrest conditions.Conclusions Cardiac microcirculation,pathological changes of myocyte and its surrounding microenviroument in living mouse heart can be immediately captured in situ by the application of IVCT and ECG.
