| Abstract | Thermally induced large blood flow increases have been extensively observed in muscle. However, no one has attempted to study the physiological mechanisms that under these phenomena. If the mechanisms are fully understood, it may be possible to noninvasively, thermally control blood flow, thus controlling tissue temperature, during hyperthermia treatments. The present study applies a compartmental model of the pharmacokinetics/dynamics coupled with a one-dimensional Pennes bio-heat-transfer equation to study the local thermoregulation in tissue subjected to heating. Temperature responses to different applied power levels have been simulated. The simulations are seen to generate similar temperature profiles to those observed in the previous in vivo experiments. This implies that the coupled pharmacokinetic/dynamic and 1D energy balance models developed here capture the essence of the links between tissue temperature and blood flow oscillations and the activities of the vasoactive substances. Thus, it appears that such pharmacokinetic/dynamic models can provide a fundamental basis for coupling the tissue temperature distributions to blood flow oscillations—as opposed to using the ad hoc time delays used in the original investigations. Results from this study provide a promising, physiological basis for coupling blood flow increase with localized heating, which can be used as a guideline for the design of physiological experiments to identify the key vasoactive agents present during heating. In addition, once the key vasodilators are identified and the corresponding biochemical pathways are fully understood, research can then proceed to find a way to thermally control blood flow for the purpose of enhancing the efficacy of noninvasive thermal therapies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
