Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine biological sampling, and in particular to a method for accurately sampling sea cucumber coelomic fluid with minimal trauma. Background Art

[0002] The ecological function of tropical coral reef sea cucumbers is very important, but many wild sea cucumber species are endangered and their resources are in urgent need of protection. Scientific and effective protection requires revealing their basic physiological and ecological characteristics, and scientific research and sampling are very necessary. In addition, as a marine organism with important ecological and economic value, sea cucumbers contain rich bioactive substances and physiological information in their coelomic fluids. For example, the large number of coelomocytes and hormones contained in the coelomic fluid can reflect the status of a variety of physiological indicators. Therefore, coelomic fluid is the preferred sample for studying sea cucumber physiological indicators. Because there are many tissues and organs inside the body cavity of sea cucumbers, the commonly used needle puncture method for obtaining coelomic fluid will be blocked by internal tissues, resulting in sampling failure, and only traditional anatomical destructive sampling methods can be used. At present, there are many problems with traditional sampling methods when obtaining sea cucumber coelomic fluid.

[0003] Traditional coelomic fluid sampling generally adopts the method of anatomical sampling. The body wall of the sea cucumber is cut open from the anus to the mouth with a scalpel to collect the coelomic fluid.

[0004] However, the traditional method of body cavity fluid sampling has the following disadvantages:

[0005] 1. Damage to experimental animals is not conducive to the protection of sea cucumber resources. Most existing sampling methods are invasive, which may cause serious damage to sea cucumbers and even lead to their death. This not only affects the subsequent research and observation of individual sea cucumbers, but is also not conducive to the sustainable use of sea cucumber resources. For rare species of sea cucumbers, this damage may bring irreparable losses.

[0006] 2. Traditional sampling methods are complicated to operate, which increases the cost and difficulty of sampling; for larger sea cucumbers, the body wall is thick and the sampling area is large, so the sampling process is time-consuming and laborious. This also limits the efficiency of obtaining sea cucumber coelomic fluid in large-scale research and practical applications.

[0007] 3. Invasive sampling may introduce external contaminants, affecting the analysis results of the body cavity fluid. There are a large number of bacteria on the surface of sea cucumbers and in the external environment. During the dissection process, the body cavity fluid may be contaminated by sampling tools and utensils. In addition, the dissection sampling time is long, and the biologically active substances in the sea cucumber body cavity fluid are easily oxidized and deteriorated when exposed to air.

[0008] In summary, the existing methods for sampling the coelomic fluid of sea cucumbers have problems such as damaging sea cucumbers, easy introduction of contamination, and complex operation. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a minimally invasive coelomic fluid sampling method suitable for sea cucumbers, which contain a large amount of tissue in their body cavity. This method can reveal the physiological state of sea cucumbers without killing them, achieve animal welfare protection, and effectively protect the rare and endangered sea cucumber resources that are about to be depleted.

[0060] The present invention discloses a minimally invasive and precise sampling method for sea cucumber coelomic fluid. Those skilled in the art can refer to the content of this article and appropriately improve the process parameters to achieve it. It is particularly important to point out that all similar replacements and modifications are obvious to those skilled in the art, and they are all considered to be included in the present invention. The methods and applications of the present invention have been described through preferred embodiments, and relevant personnel can obviously modify or appropriately change and combine the methods and applications described herein without departing from the content, spirit and scope of the present invention to implement and apply the technology of the present invention.

[0061] The minimally invasive and precise sampling method for sea cucumbers comprises the following steps:

[0062] 1. Place the sea cucumber in seawater with the sea cucumber covered by 1 cm. Use an ultrasonic detector to measure the thickness of the sea cucumber's body wall and find a location where the body wall is thinner and away from the internal organs, such as the center of the sea cucumber's back.

[0063] 2. Install the syringe and take the sample. Connect the 2 ml syringe to the improved sampling needle tube, and slowly insert the needle 3 to 6 mm into the central body wall of the back of the sea cucumber at a 45° angle under the monitoring of the ultrasonic detector to absorb the body cavity fluid of the sea cucumber.

[0064] Before sampling, according to the purpose of sampling, the sampling area, depth and needle trajectory are accurately determined under the monitoring of an ultrasonic detector to avoid the needle piercing the sea cucumber's intestines and other internal organs and achieve accurate sampling.

[0065] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the negative pressure sampling of the syringe is used, which is applicable to both large and small sea cucumbers, simplifies the operation, and can be operated by one person.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, real-time monitoring by an ultrasonic detector can determine the needle sampling path, effectively avoid scratching the internal organs, reduce damage to the sea cucumber and achieve accurate sampling.

[0067] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the respiratory tree and other internal organs are suspended in the body fluid of the sea cucumber, and the outer tube of the improved needle tube is a double-opening structure on the side, with the opening located at the staggered position of the double needle tubes, as close as possible to the needle head of the outer tube and the two opening positions are staggered; this can prevent the internal organs in the body cavity from being adsorbed when the body cavity fluid is reduced and the negative pressure absorbs the body cavity fluid, blocking the sampling hole and causing failure of successful sampling. The outer tube has a filtering function, and the combination with the inner tube can improve the sampling efficiency and achieve successful sampling.

[0074] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0075] Example 1

[0076] Sea cucumber body cavity fluid collection device Figure 1 As shown, the device includes: a push rod 1; a syringe 2; a piston 3; an adapter 4; a needle connector 5; an inner tube 6; an outer tube 7; a needle hole 8; a rubber ring 9; and a protective sleeve 10. The piston 3 is controlled by the push rod 1, and the two are connected and placed in the syringe 2. The improved sampling tube is a double-tube structure (composed of a 20 mm inner tube 6 and a 30 mm outer tube 7): the inner tube 6 and the outer tube 7 are connected through a needle connector 5 and fixed to the syringe adapter 4. The outer tube 7 is a double-hole side suction type such as Figure 2 As shown, two offset holes 8 are opened on the side, and the surface of the outer tube 7 has unit millimeter markings, with a long line every 5 mm. A rubber ring 9 is sleeved on the needle tube (to mark and fix the sampling depth. After the needle tube reaches the target depth, it is stuck by the rubber ring to prevent the insertion from being too deep and piercing the internal organs). When not in use, the improved needle tube is placed in the needle tube protective cover 10, and the protective cover 10 is connected to the needle connector 5.

[0077] Before sampling, the thickness of the body wall is measured with an ultrasonic detector, and the modified needle is connected to a 2 ml syringe. The needle is soaked with sterile seawater, and the needle is tilted at 45 degrees to the body wall of the sea cucumber. The ultrasonic detector monitors the needle path, and the needle is slowly inserted into the body wall of the sea cucumber, with the depth controlled at 3~6 mm. The coelomic fluid of the sea cucumber is sucked by negative pressure. Immediately after sampling, the coelomic fluid sample is prepared and the coelomic fluid cells are observed under a microscope to determine the sampling accuracy. In the early stage of the experiment, a single-tube side-hole sampling needle with an outer diameter * inner diameter * length of 1.6*1.3*30 mm was used to sample 20 green sea cucumbers. The sampling success rate of a single-tube sampling needle was less than 5%. Under this premise:

[0078] This experimental example evaluates the success rate of sampling sea cucumber coelomic fluid using two types of sampling tubes: outer tube single hole and outer tube double hole with outer diameter*inner tube*length of 1.6*1.3*30mm / 1.2*0.9*20 mm respectively.

[0079] Outer tube single hole / inner tube specifications: 1.6*1.3*30 mm / 1.2*0.9*20 mm, outer tube opening aperture major axis: about 1.5 mm, minor axis: about 1.3 mm; and

[0080] The outer tube double hole / inner tube specifications are: 1.6*1.3*30 mm / 1.2*0.9*20 mm, the outer tube opening aperture major axis: about 1.5 mm, minor axis: about 1.3 mm.

[0081] The coelomic fluid sampling experiment was conducted on sea cucumbers. The two types of needles were used to randomly sample 20 sea cucumbers. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.

[0082] Table 1: Evaluation of the success rate of sampling sea cucumber cavity fluid with two sampling tubes of the same specification, single-hole and double-hole

[0083]

[0084] This embodiment uses different types (single hole in outer tube, double hole in outer tube) of thicker needle tube double tube outer tube / inner tube: 1.6*1.3*30 mm / 1.2*0.9*20 mm to sample the coelomic fluid of sea cucumber using this sampling method. The most suitable sampling needle type is double hole in outer tube / inner tube, and the success rate of single sampling can reach 100%. However, the sampling needle of single hole in outer tube / inner tube is blocked halfway during sampling, which makes it impossible to suck and the coelomic fluid in the syringe is mostly air. The sampling needle is pulled out to adjust the direction of the needle hole and sample again to successfully obtain it, but repeated operations increase the operation time and difficulty, and the stimulation to sea cucumber is also aggravated. Therefore, according to the experimental results, through repeated verification, the most suitable sampling needle type is double tube (double hole in outer tube / inner tube), which has little damage and a sampling success rate of up to 100%.

[0085] Experimental Example 2

[0086] This example evaluates the success rate of coelomic fluid sampling and the survival rate of sea cucumbers using double-tube sampling tubes of different specifications, using the following three specifications of samplers:

[0087] ① Double tubes, double holes in the outer tube: the outer tube outer diameter * inner diameter * length is 1.6 * 1.3 * 30 mm, the inner tube outer diameter * inner diameter * length is 1.2 * 0.9 * 20 mm, the outer tube opening aperture is about 1.5 mm in long axis and about 1.3 mm in short axis;

[0088] ②Double tubes, double holes in the outer tube: the outer tube outer diameter * inner diameter * length is 1.2 * 0.9 * 30 mm, the inner tube outer diameter * inner diameter * length is 0.7 * 0.4 * 20 mm, the outer tube opening aperture major axis is about 1.1 mm, and the minor axis is about 0.9 mm;

[0089] ③ Double tubes, double holes in the outer tube: the outer tube outer diameter * inner diameter * length is 0.9 * 0.6 * 30 mm, the inner tube outer diameter * inner diameter * length is 0.5 * 0.2 * 20 mm, the outer tube opening aperture is about 0.9 mm in major axis and about 0.7 mm in minor axis;

[0090] A sampling experiment was conducted on sea cucumbers. The coelomic fluid of 40 random sea cucumbers was collected using a sampler of each specification. After the coelomic fluid was collected, sections were immediately made to observe the coelomic fluid cells to determine whether the sample was coelomic fluid and to determine the sampling accuracy. The experimental results are shown in Table 2.

[0091] Table 2: Evaluation of different specifications of sampling tubes on the success rate of body cavity fluid sampling and sea cucumber survival rate

[0092]

[0093] Through experimental verification, the sampling efficiency and success rate of the sampling tube with a larger diameter are higher, but it is more likely to cause stress behaviors such as peeling or vomiting, and the wound healing is slower; and because the internal organs are floating in the sea cucumber body cavity fluid, although the smaller the diameter of the sampling tube, the less damage it will cause, it is not easy to take out, and some need to be repeatedly pierced several times to successfully take out. Therefore, the present invention is used to perform negative pressure sampling of the sea cucumber body cavity fluid. For any sea cucumber (maximum 236.73 g, minimum 23.66 g), the optimal specifications are outer tube / inner tube: outer diameter*inner diameter*length 1.2*0.9*30 mm / 0.7*0.4*20 mm, and the sampling success rate, accuracy rate and later survival rate all reach 100%.

[0094] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
