[Study on a mock cerebro-spinal fluid (author's transl)]. 1980

X Lataste, and M Vandendriessche, and J P Castel, and F Cohadon

The work presented was initiated in order to evaluate the biological and clinical tolerance of the isotonic saline solution (9 p. mille) usually used in neuro-surgery directly in contact with the nervous tissue in comparison with a new solution proposed as a a mock cerebrospinal fluid. Clinically, two patient' populations including 75 patients each, were compared during dynamic investigation of intracranial pressure with intra-ventricular injections of different solutions. The effects of prolonged intra-ventricular perfusion with each solution were studied in animal models by: --electrophysiological analysis of EEG activity during perfusion --morphological observation: electronic microscopy of different cerebral structures after the perfusion. The biological tolerance was analyzed by the use of routine tissue culture of CNS tissue exposed to the two solutions. The results obtained show the toxicity of isotonic saline solution (9 p. mille) and the perfect tolerance of S.21.001 solution as a mock cerebro-spinal fluid.

D007552 Isotonic Solutions Solutions having the same osmotic pressure as blood serum, or another solution with which they are compared. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed & Dorland, 28th ed) Solutions, Isotonic
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
