A working system for acupuncture point stimulation in small animal experiments

Abstract

The invention relates to a working system suitable for acupuncture point stimulation in small animal experiments. The working system comprises a miniature oxygen generator, an anesthesia system, an anesthetic flow control support, an air outlet and return pipe, a tail gas recovery processing tank and an electro-acupuncture stimulator; the output end of the miniature oxygen generator is connected with the input end of the anesthesia system, the output end of the anesthesia system is connected with the input end of the anesthetic flow control support, the output end of the anesthetic flow control support is connected with a first end of the air outlet and return pipe, and a second end of the air outlet and return pipe is connected with the tail gas recovery processing tank; a third end of the air outlet and return pipe supplies oxygen to the animal, and the electro-acupuncture stimulator is connected with acupuncture points of an animal. According to the invention, a low-concentration gaseous anesthesia technology is adopted, it is guaranteed that the anesthesia level of animals is continuous and constant in the whole experiment process, the potential influence of the stress state caused by manual binding and constraint on the experiment result is avoided, the acupuncture stimulation time is controllable, and the animals can rapidly wake up and freely move after the experiment is finished.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of experimental instruments, in particular to a working system suitable for acupuncture point stimulation in small animal experiments. Background technique

[0002] In the current acupuncture point stimulation operation in animal experiments, the general method is to tie and restrain the animals (mice or rats), then insert the needles into the body, and give hand acupuncture, electroacupuncture or moxibustion stimulation, which is easy It will cause animals to panic and struggle, and appear in a state of stress, which will affect the authenticity and accuracy of acupuncture effect detection. Contents of the invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed to provide a working system suitable for stimulating acupuncture points in small animal experiments that overcomes the above problems or at least partially solves the above problems.

[0004] According to one aspect of the presen...
