This study was designed to assess the effects of hemodynamic changes and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics on spinal cord function during experimental thoracic aortic occlusion. We investigated the effects of dopamine, sodium nitroprusside, and sodium thiopental in this model. Proximal and distal aortic pressures and cerebrospinal fluid pressure were measured during occlusion in 12 adult mongrel dogs under control conditions and during drug interventions. Spinal cord function was assessed by spinal somatosensory evoked potentials recorded during 3-minute intervals of reversible spinal cord ischemia. By multiple regression analysis, the degree of spinal cord ischemia was positively related to the cerebrospinal fluid pressure (p = 0.0092) and negatively related to the percent change in cerebrospinal fluid pressure (p = 0.028); there were no significant drug effects on cerebrospinal fluid pressure or on the degree of spinal cord ischemia. This study indicates that cerebrospinal fluid pressure is an important factor in determining the degree of spinal cord ischemia during aortic occlusion and suggests that measures to reduce cerebrospinal fluid pressure will mitigate the degree of spinal cord ischemia.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D003250 Constriction The act of constricting. Clamping,Clampings,Constrictions
D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
