Abstract:
:The clearance of an intradermally-injected solution of 133Xenon in 0.9% saline has been used to study the impairment and recovery of blood flow in mouse tail for 5 days following photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 2mg TPPS i.v. per mouse and a range of doses of white light. Impairment of blood flow was observed within 10 min of light exposure. Blood flow increased between day 1 and day 5 at light doses less than 151J cm-2 and had returned to control levels by day 5 at light doses less than 129J cm-2. In mice treated with a light dose that caused a 50% incidence of necrosis, there was no significant difference in the initial xenon clearance half-time (measured at 10 min and 1 day after PDT) between those mice which developed tail necrosis and those which healed. However, the latter showed significantly greater improvement in vascular function on days 2, 3 and 4. This suggests that the timing and extent of recovery of blood flow determined the risk of necrosis in individual mice.
