| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To understand the pathophysiology and to develop a new therapeutic technique for ischemic stroke, we performed near-infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance imaging for a rat stroke model and examined whether an infarct core and periinfarct depolarization (PID) can be visualized by detecting light-scattering signal. After middle cerebral artery occlusion, light scattering increased in the ischemic core, around which a wave-like scattering change was generated and spread over the cortex repetitively, indicating occurrence of PIDs. The region with increased scattering in the ischemic core was thought to reflect cell morphological change associated with infarction. We also performed 808-nm low-intensity NIR laser irradiation to the rat brain and observed that both total number of the occurrence of PIDs and infarct region tended to decrease. These results might be caused by an increase in mitochondrial energy production by 808-nm NIR laser irradiation.
