Cerebrospinal fluid transport

We report the effects of the presentation of an idiopathic subdural hematoma (SDH) in an adult domestic pig on the glymphatic system, a brain-wide solute clearance system. This accidental finding is based on our recently published study that described this system for the first time in large mammals.

Transthyretin is one of the three major thyroid hormone-binding proteins in plasma and⁄or cerebrospinal fluid of vertebrates. It transports retinol via binding to retinol-binding protein, and exists mainly as a homotetrameric protein of55 kDa in plasma. The first 3D structure of transthyretin was an X-ray crystal structure from human transthyretin.

Serous or “body cavity fluids” are usually collected with aseptic technique by needle puncture and aspiration of the body cavity fluid. Methods for obtaining the specimen vary depending upon the site. Fluids are best collected into a dry container and submitted in the fresh state to the laboratory. 7 Adding 3-5 IU heparin/mL to a container prior to obtaining a bloody sample will usually inhibit clotting and not adversely affect morphology. If delay in transportation to the laboratory is unavoidable, most fluids may be kept refrigerated (4ºC) up to 72 hours.
