Witt NW, Chapman N, Thom SAM, Stanton AV, Parker KH, Hughes ADet al., 2010, A novel measure to characterise optimality of diameter relationships at retinal vascular bifurcations., Artery Res, Vol: 4, Pages: 75-80, ISSN: 1872-9312

Conventionally, the relationship between parent and daughter vessels at vascular bifurcations has been expressed by the junction exponent (x), and deviations of this parameter from the optimal conditions predicted by Murray's law (x = 3) have been shown to be associated with vascular disease. However, the junction exponent is normally calculated iteratively from diameter measurements, and Monte-Carlo simulation studies show the junction exponent to be biased in the presence of measurement noise.We present an alternative parameter, referred to as optimality ratio, that is simpler to compute and also more robust in the presence of noise.To demonstrate the sensitivity of the optimality ratio to alterations in topography of the retinal vascular network, we analysed the effect of inducing endothelial dysfunction by infusion of NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, compared to placebo in a double-blind crossover study. The optimality ratio showed a significant increase (p = 0.03) during infusion of l-NMMA compared to placebo.We propose that a measure of the extent of departure of optimality ratio from its optimal value of 2(-1/3) may be a useful indicator of microvascular endothelial dysfunction in vivo.

The principal objective was to develop an autoclavable pulsatile bioreactor capable of subjecting disc-shaped or trileaflet valve tissue constructs to prescribed, reproducible hydrodynamic profiles. The pump actuator consisted of: a computer-controlled stepper motor and a lead-screw attached to the piston of a water filled cylinder which was connected to the outer chamber of a pulsatile sac ventricular assist device with tilting disc valves. Reciprocation of the piston caused circulation of tissue culture medium in a bioreactor comprising a vented low-pressure reservoir and a sealed windkessel (air spring) and flow resistor to simulate arterial compliance and systemic vascular resistance, respectively. Disc-shaped tissue constructs could be interposed between the windkessel and the reservoir to allow them to be subjected to controllable pressure waveforms. Alternatively, the outflow valve of the pulsatile pump could be replaced with a valve-like tissue construct. Evaluation of the hydrodynamic capabilities of the system showed that for both the disc-shaped and the valve constructs a wide range of stable hydrodynamic profiles could be specified and attained, free of pressure transients and valve closure-associated pressure oscillations. Pressure rise within the windkessel was primarily determined by pump driving parameters whereas the time constant of the decay of pressure was determined by the product of windkessel compliance (C) and outflow resistance (R) of the windkessel. In conclusion, the novel bioreactor has a number of characteristics which may be valuable for the development of tissue engineered heart valves. © 2010 Biomedical Engineering Society.
