Problems solved by technology

[0002] Pruritus is a specific skin sensation that can trigger scratching intention and scratching reflex, which can be caused by various skin diseases and systemic diseases. Studies have shown that about 15% of the population is affected by chronic pruritus, and the mechanism is unclear. Clinical treatment options are also limited
With the increasing attention to the mechanism of pruritus in related fields, the research on scratching behavior has gradually increased. However, there are currently few monitoring and recording equipment for scratching behavior, which limits the level of objective evaluation and research on pruritus behavior.

Embodiment 1

[0025] refer to Figure 1-4 , the present invention provides a device for monitoring and recording the scratching behavior of an animal model of pruritus, comprising several monitoring areas, the several monitoring areas are arranged in sequence, and a partition 1 is arranged between the several monitoring areas;

[0026] In the monitoring area, a counting component is provided, and the counting component is used to record the number of times that the hind paw of the mouse is lifted. The top of the counting component is provided with a camera 2, and the output end of the camera 2 is connected to the input end of the video capture card. The output end of the card is connected with an image recognition device.

[0027] In a further optimization scheme, the monitoring area includes a box body 3, the box body 3 is a rectangular structure, and the box body 3 is made of transparent acrylic, which is convenient for the user to directly observe the behavior of the mouse in the box bod...

Embodiment 2

[0033] according to Figure 5 As shown, the difference from the above-mentioned embodiment 1 is that this device also includes a video processing system. Since the material of the box body 3 is mainly transparent acrylic, when the camera 2 records a video, it is easy to have a reflective area, which makes the video on the video. There are blind areas, which interfere with the monitoring process, and LED lamps as light sources need to adjust the light intensity in real time to ensure that local angles can be illuminated.

[0034] The video processing system includes an image acquisition unit, the built-in video acquisition card of the camera 2 is electrically connected to the image acquisition unit, the image acquisition unit is electrically connected to a data pre-storage unit, the data pre-storage unit is electrically connected to a memory and a comparison unit, and The unit is electrically connected to a brightness identification unit, the brightness identification unit is e...

Abstract

The invention provides a device for monitoring and recording a scratching behavior of a pruritus animal model. The device comprises a plurality of monitoring areas; the plurality of monitoring areas are arranged in sequence; partition plates are arranged among the plurality of monitoring areas; counting assemblies are arranged in the monitoring areas; and cameras are arranged above the counting assemblies. The device can be widely applied to the observation of scratching behaviors of small animals, the operation is simple, the subjectivity and inaccuracy of manual recording can be avoided, a shooting and timing system can be automatically adjusted, the manpower and time are effectively saved, recording results are objective and accurate, and reliable data are provided for research results.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of behavioral monitoring and recording devices, in particular to a monitoring and recording device for scratching behavior of pruritus animal models. Background technique [0002] Pruritus is a specific skin sensation that can trigger scratching intention and scratching reflex, which can be caused by various skin diseases and systemic diseases. Studies have shown that about 15% of the population is affected by chronic pruritus, and the mechanism is unclear. Clinical treatment options are also limited. As more attention has been paid to the mechanism of pruritus in related fields, the research on scratching behavior has gradually increased. However, there are currently few monitoring and recording equipment for scratching behavior, which limits the level of objective evaluation and research on pruritus behavior. Contents of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a monitoring and re...
