Changes in local cerebral blood flow (lCBF) and local cerebral glucose utilization (lCGU) were assessed in dopaminergic primary target areas in the rat 6 weeks after unilateral lesion of dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and adjacent ventrotegmental area (VTA) using 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). lCBF and lCGU were determined using the autoradiographic [14C]iodoantipyrine and [14C]2-deoxyglucose method. Dopaminergic deafferentation provoked a marked unilateral lCBF decrease in the dorso-lateral portion of the rostral caudate-putamen. The decrease in lCBF was not associated with significant changes in glucose metabolism. Thus, lesions of dopaminergic afferents to the caudate-putamen appear to provoke a sustained decrease in basal blood flow with unchanged local metabolic activity.

Department of Gynecologic Oncology, School of Medicine, Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: This study aimed to explore the relationship of cervical tumor lesion location (CTLL) with bilateral parametrial involvement (PI) and pelvic lymph node metastasis (LNM).
