The changes of the human tumor microcircula-tion after blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening was studied. BBB opening was performed by retro-grade injection of hyperosmotic solution, such as mannitol or glycerol, from superficial temporal artery in the operation procedure.

Serial fluorescein micro angiography of human tumor surface was taken by motor-driven camera equipped to surgical microscope. Two glioblast-omas, two astrocytomas and one metastatic tumor were studied.

In glioblastoma multiforme, after BBB opening, fluorescein sodium perfusion was increased with the enlargement of the venules and extravasation of fluorescein sodium was also observed from venules by the late venous phase of fluorescein microangiography.

In low grade astrocytoma, after BBB opening, fluorescein sodium perfusion was relatively de-creased in the vasculature which diameter was from 5μm to 10μm and no extravasation of fluorescein sodium was observed from the venules.

In metastatic brain tumor, extravasation of fluorescein sodium was observed, ever before BBB opening, especially from arterial capillary or venous capillary. After BBB opening, extravasation of fluorescein sodium from those capillaries was increased and the tumor staining of fluorescein sodium was observed after BBB opening.

But in low grade astrocytoma, BBB disruption was not observed. The effect of BBB disruption was more marked in malignant tumor, but little effect was observed in low grade astrocytoma and normal brain tissue. The degree of BBB dis-ruption is depend on the volume and speed of hyperosmotic solution. Using our methods of volume and speed, we could observed the different BBB disruption according to the malignancy of the tumor. The difference of BBB reaction to hyperosmotic solution between low grade astro-cytoma and malignant tumors is their stability of the BBB.

Judging from the different BBB reaction to hyperosmotic solution, the best indication to BBB opening chemotherapy is the tumor that BBB dis-ruption is observed after BBB opening such as glioblastoma, but low grade astrocytoma, which showed no reaction to blood-brain opening, is not a indication. Metastatic tumor which showed the strengthening of fluorescein sodium extarvasation is the relative indication of the BBB opening chemotherapy.
