초록
To characterize the relationship between the stage of hepatic fibrosis and bioimpedance, several electric parameters were estimated in rats with CCl_4-induced liver fibrosis. Thirty three Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with a CCl_4-mineral oil mixture (1:1, 0.2 mL/100 g) twice a week for 8 weeks. The resistance(R), reactance(X), impedance(Z), and dissipation factor(D) between 1 kHz and 100 kHz were then evaluated in the livers of the rats under pentobarbital anesthesia using an HP4294A Impedance Analyzer. The rats were killed 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks later, and their livers were classified in accordance with Ishak’s scoring system. R, X, and Z changed in accordance with the progression of hepatic fibrosis and the changes were greater at lower frequencies than at higher frequencies. In comparison, the D spectrum was biphasic; D increased initially then decreased with increasing frequency. All of the parameters(R, X, Z, and D) changed in accordance with the stage of fibrosis in the livers, but D changed specifically with the progression of fibrosis. These results indicate that hepatic fibrosis may be evaluated by determining the changes in D.
Abstract
To characterize the relationship between the stage of hepatic fibrosis and bioimpedance, several electric parameters were estimated in rats with CCl_4-induced liver fibrosis. Thirty three Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with a CCl_4-mineral oil mixture (1:1, 0.2 mL/100 g) twice a week for 8 weeks. The resistance(R), reactance(X), impedance(Z), and dissipation factor(D) between 1 kHz and 100 kHz were then evaluated in the livers of the rats under pentobarbital anesthesia using an HP4294A Impedance Analyzer. The rats were killed 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks later, and their livers were classified in accordance with Ishak’s scoring system. R, X, and Z changed in accordance with the progression of hepatic fibrosis and the changes were greater at lower frequencies than at higher frequencies. In comparison, the D spectrum was biphasic; D increased initially then decreased with increasing frequency. All of the parameters(R, X, Z, and D) changed in accordance with the stage of fibrosis in the livers, but D changed specifically with the progression of fibrosis. These results indicate that hepatic fibrosis may be evaluated by determining the changes in D.
