5 protocols using 8 channel powerlab

1

Carotid Hemodynamics in Myocardial Ischemia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 30 min of myocardial ischemia and 2 h after reperfusion, rats were anesthetized using an intraperitoneal injection of 1% sodium pentobarbital (3 mL·kg−1), and the left common carotid artery was detached. Carotid hemodynamics were recorded using the PowerLab 8-channel multifunctional physiological recorder (AD Instruments).

Monitoring Cerebral Blood Flow in Infants

All infants had measurement of ABP with an umbilical artery catheter placed for clinical monitoring. Middle cerebral artery CBFV was recorded with transcranial Doppler (Nicolet Vascular/Natus Medical Incorporated, San Carlos, CA). PaCO 2 was continuously recorded with a Neotrend-L fiber-optic sensor (Diametrics Medical, St Paul, MN). Analog data was collected simultaneously using a PowerLab 8 Channel data acquisition system (AD Instruments, Mountain View, CA). Digitized files were subsequently analyzed using ICM+ software (ICM+, Cambridge Enterprise, UK). Artifact was removed using valid values range filters and by visual inspection of each individual recording.

Cerebrovascular Hemodynamics Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) were insonated using two 2-MHz TCD probes (ST3; Spencer Technologies, Seattle, WA, USA) through the temporal acoustic window on the side of the head to record PCA and MCA velocity. The P-1 PCA and M-1 MCA segments were identified and the signals optimized corresponding to the depth of each vessel, velocity of blood flow and waveform produced (31 (link), 43 (link)). Participants were fitted with a three-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Blood pressure (BP) was measured using finger photoplethysmography with a brachial cuff to adjust for height differences between the finger and brachial artery (Finometer PRO; Finapres Medical Systems, Amsterdam, Netherlands). End-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide (PETCO2) was sampled with a mouthpiece and monitored with an inline gas analyzer (ML206; ADInstruments, Colorado Springs, CO, USA), calibrated with a known gas concentration prior to each collection. All data were time-aligned and collected at a sampling frequency of 1,000 Hz via an 8-channel PowerLab (ADInstruments) and stored for offline analysis using commercially available software including LabChart (ADInstruments) and Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation; Redmond, WA, USA).

Voluntary Exercise Monitoring in Rodent Heart Failure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Voluntary exercise was assessed using Scurry Wheel (Lafayette Instruments, Model 80859S) which consists of a running wheel (inner diameter 35.56cm; width 10.92cm) inside a cage (40.64 × 50.80 × 20.96 cm). The scurry wheel was connected to an 8 channel Powerlab (AD Instruments), and wheel rotations were recorded in LabChart v8.1. To reduce the effects of the novel environment on behavior, each animal was given 24 hrs to acclimate to the cage. Animals had ad libitum access to food and water during the scurry wheel experiment. One heart failure animal died before completing the scurry wheel, reducing the n for the CHF group to 4.

Hypoxia-induced Cardiovascular Response

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male C57BL/6 mice (the Jackson Laboratory), age between 12 to 14 weeks, were anesthetized by isoflurane (2.5%). Body temperature was maintained at 37°C by a heating pad connected to heat pump (Androit). Catheters were implanted for carotid artery and jugular vein. Arterial blood pressure was continuously recorded through a blood pressure transducer (MLT699, ADInstrument) connected to an 8-channel Powerlab (ADInstrument). A tracheal tube was introduced and connected to a rodent ventilator (Model 849, MidiVent). Upon completion, in some animals, the fraction of inspiratory O2 was decreased from 21% to 10% to induce hypoxia. 75μL of L-NAME was administered intravenously in a bolus at a dose of 10 mg/kg bodyweight. 10 minutes after L-NAME injection, animals were injected with 50 μL of NO-ferroheme or normal saline (NS) for 4 times at 10-minute intervals. An NO-ferroheme in albumin stock was prepared via a concentrated version of the direct method as described above: 300 μM ferric heme was mixed anaerobically on a Schlenk line with 3 mM GSH and 600 μM NO in 500 μM albumin using air-tight Hamilton syringes. This stock was diluted further in air with albumin solution before injection by 1000-, 100-, and 10-fold. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) values were obtained by processed the recorded arterial pressure data with LabChart 7.3.8 (ADInstruments).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
