Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal experimental devices, in particular to an experimental device and an experimental method for disuse osteoporosis mice. Background Art

[0002] Disuse osteoporosis is osteoporosis caused by a decrease in bone mineral content due to limited mobility or functional impairment.

[0003] At present, animal models and methods of disuse osteoporosis mainly include: tail suspension, leg and tail fixation, hind limb plaster splint fixation, sciatic nerve transection and muscle and tendon resection, etc. Among them, tail suspension is the most commonly used method. Most of the tail suspension methods use rats as experimental subjects. However, the bone cortical reconstruction activity of rats is low, which makes it difficult to apply to the research related to bone Harvard system reconstruction. However, when the tail suspension method is applied to mice, after a certain period of suspension, due to the obstruction of blood circulation in the tail of mice, tissue ulceration and tail fracture will occur, so long-term modeling cannot be achieved. In addition, since the modeling process of the tail suspension method is relatively complicated, a specific roller or spring device is required so that the mice can move to eat and drink water, and the requirements for the feeding device are relatively high. At the same time, the space utilization rate of the feeding cage is low, and more feeding cages are required, which increases the workload of feeding and causes inconvenience to scientific experiments. In addition, other animal models and methods of disuse osteoporosis, such as tail fixation and sciatic nerve transection, can limit the movement of the hind limbs, but they have disadvantages such as complexity, invasiveness, and susceptibility to infection and inflammation. Another example is the hind limb plaster splint fixation method, which requires frequent replacement of the plaster splint, and the procedure is relatively complicated. In addition, the fixed hind limbs are still partially on the ground under stress, resulting in less than ideal modeling effects.

[0050] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention by specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0051] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the drawings only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] See also Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 2 , respectively, are a schematic diagram of the structure of the disuse osteoporosis mouse experimental device provided in Example 1 of the present invention, and a state diagram of the disuse osteoporosis mouse experimental device fixed to the mouse hip and abdomen.

[0054] like Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the disuse osteoporosis mouse experimental device includes a support member 1; a first through hole 2 is provided in the middle of the support member 1 for supporting the mouse's hip and abdomen to allow the mouse's hind limbs to leave the crawling surface; the size of the first through hole is adapted to the size of the mouse's hip and abdomen.

[0055] The mouse hip and abdomen region includes the part where the trunk and hind limbs are connected and the lower abdomen.

[0056] The size of the first through hole is adapted to the size of the mouse's hip and abdomen, including the width and height of the first through hole in the cross section of the first through hole, which correspond to the body width and thickness of the mouse's hip and abdomen.

[0057] Preferably, the cross section of the first through hole ( Figure 1A The plane shown in the figure is elliptical; and in the cross section, the horizontal axial width of the first through hole is 0 to 2 mm larger than the body width of the mouse's hip and abdomen, and the vertical axial height of the first through hole is 0 to 2 mm larger than the body thickness of the mouse's hip and abdomen.

[0058] In this embodiment, the height of the center point of the first through hole on the longitudinal section of the support member is 0.27 to 0.84 times the distance between the mouse's hip and abdomen and the mouse's head, so that when the mouse is placed in the first through hole, the support member lifts the mouse's hip and abdomen to lift the mouse's hind legs off the ground; and the mouse's forward tilt angle is between 15° and 40°.

[0059] The height of the center point of the first through hole on the longitudinal section of the support member is the distance between the center point of the first through hole and the lowest point of the disuse osteoporosis mouse experimental device on the longitudinal section of the support member.

[0061] In this embodiment, the thickness of the support member is 1 / 8 to 1 / 6 of the mouse's body length. While enabling the mouse's forelimbs to crawl freely, the support member ensures that the supporting area of ​​the mouse's hip and abdomen is of moderate size, avoiding affecting the mouse's flexibility due to excessive support area, and avoiding excessive pressure on the mouse's abdominal support due to too small support area, which may damage the mouse's abdominal organs and cause pathological changes.

[0062] The body length of a mouse is the distance from the head to the base of the tail.

[0063] The upper part of the support member is connected to the tail of the mouse, so that the support member can be better fixed to the hip and abdomen of the mouse to prevent the mouse from breaking free.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, the upper end of the support member is adhesively connected to the mouse tail. For example, a medical breathable tape is used to adhesively fix the mouse tail to the upper end of the support member.

[0065] Preferably, the support member is made of a lightweight material; in a specific implementation, the material of the support member includes polystyrene material.

[0072] In a specific embodiment, a single set of the first adjustment unit 4 includes a first threaded rod 41 and a first rotating member 42; the support member 1 is provided with a first threaded through hole connecting the outer side of the support member 1 and the first through hole 2, and the first threaded through hole is adapted to the first threaded rod 41; the first threaded through hole is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 41; one end of the first threaded rod 41 is connected to the first adjustment member, and the other end is connected to the first extrusion member 3. By rotating the first rotating member, the first threaded rod is driven to rotate in the first threaded through hole to change the position of the first extrusion member in the first through hole, thereby adjusting the size of the first through hole so that the first through hole can better fit mice of different body sizes.

[0073] Furthermore, a first support seat is provided on the outer side of the support member at the connection between the first threaded rod and the first threaded through hole, and is sleeved on the outer side of the thread of the first threaded rod to fix and support the first threaded rod.

[0076] Furthermore, the disuse osteoporosis mouse experimental device also includes at least one group of the second extrusion member 7 and the second adjustment unit 8 configured to adjust the second through hole 6; wherein the second extrusion member 7 is located in the second through hole 6 and is connected to the support member 1 by connecting the second adjustment unit 8; and by adjusting the second adjustment unit, the position of the second extrusion member in the second through hole is adjusted to achieve adjustment of the size of the second through hole.

[0077] Specifically, the material and shape characteristics of the second extrusion component are the same as those of the first extrusion component, and are not described in detail herein.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, a single set of the second adjustment unit 8 includes a second threaded rod 81 and a second rotating member 82; the support member 1 is provided with a second threaded through hole connecting the outer side of the support member 1 and the second through hole 6, and the second threaded through hole is adapted to the second threaded rod 81; the second threaded through hole is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 81; one end of the second threaded rod 81 is connected to the second rotating member 82, and the other end is connected to the second extrusion member 7.

[0079] Furthermore, a second support seat is provided on the outer side of the support member at the connection between the second threaded rod and the second threaded through hole, and is sleeved on the outer side of the thread of the second threaded rod for fixedly supporting the second threaded rod.

[0080] Preferably, the second support seat is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod.

[0081] Furthermore, the disuse osteoporosis mouse experimental device is provided with at least one set of rollers 10 at the bottom of the support member to reduce the friction between the support member and the mouse crawling surface, which is more conducive to the normal activities of the mouse.
