摘要
The influence of the sympathetic innervation on the tone of resistive vessels and blood flow oscillations was studied using laser Doppler flowmetry and skin thermography in 18 healthy subjects (before and after reflex cold and heat tests and local thermal testing), 42 patients with denervation syndromes caused by median nerve damage, and 10 patients with an acute stage of aseptic inflammation after radius fracture. The blood flow oscillations in the range of neurogenic sympathetic influences (0.02-0.052 Hz) supported by low-frequency sympathetic rhythms are an essential component of neurovascular interrelations. The importance of these oscillations is determined by their contribution to an increase in tissue perfusion owing to a decrease in the peripheral resistance and also by the leveling of drastic changes in blood flow and stabilization of microhemodynamics upon pronounced changes in the stationary tone. The high-and low-frequency (tonic and oscillatory, respectively) sympathetic rhythmic activities are expressed in two ways: (1) a synchronous increase or decrease in their amplitudes and (2) frequency dominance. The reactivity of the vessel smooth muscles is an important factor in maintaining the blood flow oscillations. Denervation decreases the oscillation amplitude in the neurogenic range. Under the conditions of local "inflammatory sympatholysis," reflex tonic effects, rather than oscillatory ones, of the sympathetic impulses are mainly suppressed. An isolated evaluation of the blood flow oscillations in the neurogenic sympathetic range cannot be a measure of sympathetic activity. In studies on its functional state and evaluation of the neurogenic tone (NT) of resistive vessels, it is necessary to take into account the parameters of both stationary and oscillatory components of the NT. © Pleiades Publishing, Inc. 2006.
