Protectants and executioners have been demonstrated to be used by gap junctions in focal cerebral ischemia. Certain researchers hypothesized that the opposite role of gap junctions may be associated with the injury extent, which has been demonstrated to be highly correlated with occlusion duration.
Several lines of evidence indicate that the extent of ischemic injury is not defined immediately following arterial occlusion; rather that infarction expands over time. Episodes of spreading depression have been linked to this secondary increase in infarct volume. Tissue bordering the infarct fails

OBJECTIVE
(99m)Tc-HL91 (Prognox, GE-Healthcare) was the first nonnitro-aryl-based radiotracer for evaluating hypoxic fraction in neoplasm, stroke and myocardium infarction regions. However, the high hydrophilicity of (99m)Tc-HL91 might hamper its penetration into cells. In this study, we prepared a
Myocardial tissue is routinely exposed to the vital stain triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) to delineate infarction in conjunction with myocardial isotope research. However, it is unknown whether TTC has a direct effect on tracer deposition. We evaluated this possibility in rabbit hearts injected
IMP is a flow tracer due to a large first pass extraction fraction and high affinity in the brain, but significant clearance from the brain causes change of distribution when the scan start time is delayed. The purpose of the present study is to develop a new method to rapidly calculate a
We developed a new method (functional IMP SPECT) to quantitate both regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and distribution volume (Vd) using 123I-IMP and SPECT based on a 2- compartment model (influx; K1 =rCBF and outflux; k2). This method requires one arterial blood sampling at 5 min after injection
Iodine-123-iodoamphetamine (IMP) is commonly used as a flow tracer for SPECT due to its large first-pass extraction fraction. Significant clearance from the brain, however, causes changes in distribution and underestimation of CBF values when a conventional microsphere model is applied to prolonged
