    Notes: Summary Changes in morphology, behavior of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), and local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) were assessed and correlated in Mongolian gerbils following 5 min cerebral ischemia, produced by bilateral clamping of the common carotid arteries. The morphological changes were confined to the hippocampus and revealed a conspicuously delayed destruction of the CA1 neurons, occurring after 3 days. Following release of carotid occlusions, there were two separate openings of the BBB. One, occurring shortly after recirculation, was associated with focal hyperemia in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and basal ganglia; the second opening was observed after several days and was associated with severe neuronal destruction in the CA1 sector. Correlation of quantitative and qualitative rCBF assays with14C-deoxyglucose autoradiographic observations indicated an uncoupling between blood flow and glucose metabolism, observed in the hippocampus at 10 min after recirculation. The described changes provide a further insight into the post-ischemic events which determine the outcome of ischemic injury.

    Notes: Summary The behavior of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was studied in cats following release after 1-h middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. The regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was determined by hydrogen clearance method in the caudate nucleus and the cerebral cortex. The BBB was assayed with Evans blue (EB) tracer and by immunohistochemical peroxidaseantiperoxidase (PAP) method. Following release of MCA occlusion, there were two openings of the BBB, separated by a refractory period. The first opening, occurred shortly after recirculation; this was associated with rCBF below 15 ml/100 g/min during the ischemic period and a pronounced reactive hyperemia promptly following release of MCA occlusion. A refractory period of the BBB was indicated by the absence of EB leakage in cats injected with the tracer 30 min before killing at 3 h after recirculation, although the rCBF values in these animals were even lower (6±1 ml/100 g/min) during occlusion, and all of them showed a pronounced hyperemia after recirculation. The occurrence of the previous BBB opening in these animals was confirmed by the PAP staining. The second opening of the BBB was observed at 5 and 72 h after recirculation in cats which were injected with EB 30 min before killing, and which showed rCBF below 15 ml/100 g/min during occlusion, followed by a pronounced reactive hyperemia. No EB extravasations were observed at any time in cats in which the rCBF during occlusion was above 15 ml/100 g/min and which failed to show a marked reactive hyperemia.
