[0002] In medical experiments targeting a specific disease, collecting research data through experimental animals is an extremely important part, such as research on spinal cord injury. For spinal cord injury, the most suitable experimental animal is the monkey. Among them, in order to study the mechanism of spinal cord injury and its treatment methods, creating an animal spinal cord injury model through monkeys is a crucial step.

[0003] At present, there are mainly the following animal spinal cord injury models: including the hemostatic clamp method spinal cord compression injury model, the heavy object falling method spinal cord impact injury model, the spinal cord transection injury model, the spinal cord hemisection injury model, the balloon compression injury model, etc.

[0004] Among them, the existing hemisection injury model of the spinal cord is usually made manually. The first step is to cut the corresponding positions of the back in sequence until the dura mater is cut; the second step is to directly cut the spinal cord in half with a scalpel; the third step is to suture the cut dura mater and the back. However, it is difficult to ensure the consistency and success rate of modeling by only using the above three steps to make a hemisection injury model of the spinal cord. There is a lack of positioning before cutting, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the hemisection, there is a lack of safety during the cutting process, it is easy to damage the dura mater, and there is a lack of post-suturing care and cerebrospinal fluid leakage prevention and treatment methods, which affects the healing of the wound. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a non-human primate spinal cord hemisection injury model.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for preparing a non-human primate spinal cord hemisection injury model comprises the following steps:

[0008] The first step is to expose the spinal cord and dura mater. Specifically, the spinous processes of T9 to T11 are located on the surface of the body, a 5 cm incision is made in the posterior midline, and the layers are separated downwards to expose the T10 lamina. The T10 spinous process and ligament are removed in sequence, the T10 lamina is removed by drilling, and then the yellow ligament is removed using microsurgical instruments to expose the spinal cord.

[0009] The second step is to cut the dura mater with the help of a dura mater retractor. Specifically, a vertical incision is selected when opening the dura mater, so that the dura mater can be sutured after the modeling is completed, thereby minimizing the degree of cerebrospinal fluid leakage. In order to reduce the damage to the spinal cord tissue when cutting the dura mater, a dura mater retractor is used to assist in this step. The dura mater retractor pulls the dura mater to create a gap between the dura mater and the spinal cord tissue, thereby avoiding damage to the spinal cord during the process of cutting the dura mater.

[0010] The third step is to use a stereotaxic instrument and a positioning guide needle installed on the stereotaxic instrument to insert the positioning guide needle into the central axis of the spinal cord. The positioning guide needle has a slide groove to limit the movement trajectory of the microsurgical knife. The insertion position of the guide needle is accurately located by the stereotaxic instrument to ensure the accuracy of the spinal cord hemisection range. The positioning guide needle is then driven down by the stereotaxic instrument to pierce the spinal cord.

[0011] The fourth step is to insert a dura mater protective sheet. Before the hemisection operation, a dura mater protective sheet is placed on the side. The dura mater protective sheet is inserted between the dura mater and the spinal cord tissue, and the insertion depth is such that the tip of the dura mater protective sheet touches the positioning guide needle.

[0012] Step 5: Use a microsurgical knife to cut the spinal cord tissue downward along the guide pin's slide until the tip of the blade cuts the dura mater protective sheet below. At this time, move the microsurgical knife outward to ensure that the spinal cord tissue on one side is completely cut off.

[0013] Step 6: After the spinal cord hemisection modeling is completed, the dura mater is sutured watertightly and a drainage tube is placed under the epidural fascia to reduce the risk of complications caused by postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

[0014] The seventh step is to complete the modeling until the drainage tube is removed. Considering that the experimental animals may pull out the drainage tube spontaneously, they need to wear nursing clothes and fix the drainage bag with the nursing clothes. Then, by observing the incision and drainage volume, the drainage tube should be removed in time.

[0033] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] A method for preparing a non-human primate spinal cord hemisection injury model comprises the following steps:

[0035] The first step is to expose the spinal cord and dura mater. Specifically, the spinous processes of T9 to T11 are located on the body surface, a 5 cm incision is made in the middle of the back, and the layers are separated downwards to expose the T10 lamina. The T10 spinous process and ligament are removed in sequence, and the T10 lamina is removed by a drill. Then, the yellow ligament is removed with microsurgical instruments to expose the spinal cord. During this process, the range of lamina removal must be expanded as much as possible to provide surgical space for the subsequent opening of the dura mater and hemisection of the spinal cord.

[0036] In the second step, the SCI contusion model does not require the dura mater to be cut. The modeling process can be achieved by adjusting the impact parameters outside the dura mater through the LISA impactor to perform spinal cord impact to achieve the purpose of SCI contusion. However, the SCI hemisection model is different. This modeling method requires an incision on one side of the spinal cord. For the mouse SCI hemisection model, because mice have less cerebrospinal fluid, the spinal cord is cut together with the dura mater, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage will not occur. However, non-human primates are the same as humans. When the dura mater is opened, cerebrospinal fluid continues to flow out of the dura mater. If it is not treated specifically, it will cause cerebrospinal fluid leakage, which will cause subsequent complications such as wound infection and wound non-healing, and ultimately lead to modeling failure. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to reduce the risk of the above problems, the dura mater is incised with the assistance of the dura mater retractor 10. Specifically, a vertical incision is selected when opening the dura mater to facilitate suturing the dura mater after modeling, thereby minimizing the degree of cerebrospinal fluid leakage. In order to reduce the damage to the spinal cord tissue when incising the dura mater, the dura mater retractor 10 is assisted in this step. The dura mater retractor 10 pulls the dura mater to create a gap between the dura mater and the spinal cord tissue, thereby avoiding damage to the spinal cord during the process of incising the dura mater.

[0037] The third step is to consider the stability and accuracy of the SCI model in addition to the relevance of clinical diseases. The SCI contusion model relies on the LISA impact instrument, and the degree of impact can be adjusted by the instrument to maintain the stability and accuracy of the model. However, the factor that has the greatest impact on the stability and accuracy of the SCI hemisection model is the damage range of the spinal cord hemisection. Accurately controlling the range of spinal cord transection during each modeling process through the instrument is of great significance for stabilizing this modeling method. Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to solve this problem, a stereotaxic instrument 21 and a positioning guide needle 22 installed on the stereotaxic instrument 21 are used to insert the positioning guide needle 22 into the central axis of the spinal cord, and a slide groove 221 is provided in the positioning guide needle 22 to limit the moving trajectory of the microsurgical knife. The insertion position of the guide needle 22 is accurately located by the stereotaxic instrument 21, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the spinal cord hemisection range, and then the stereotaxic instrument 21 drives the positioning guide needle 22 to descend to pierce the spinal cord.

[0038] The fourth step is to insert the dura mater protective sheet 30. Although the positioning guide needle 22 can be used to accurately adjust the range of the spinal cord tissue incision, the dura mater on one side or even the ventral side will inevitably be damaged during the lateral incision. In order to avoid this problem, the dura mater protective sheet 30 needs to be placed laterally before the half-incision operation. The insertion position of the dura mater protective sheet 30 is between the dura mater and the spinal cord tissue, and the insertion depth is when the tip of the dura mater protective sheet 30 touches the positioning guide needle 22.

[0039] The fifth step is to use a microsurgical knife to cut the spinal cord tissue downward along the slide groove 221 of the positioning guide needle 22 until the tip of the blade cuts the dura mater protective sheet 30 below. At this time, the microsurgical knife is cut outward to ensure that the spinal cord tissue on one side is completely cut off.

[0040] Step 6. Clinically, the treatment strategies for cerebrospinal fluid leakage include suture or material closure of the fistula, drug inhibition of cerebrospinal fluid production, subarachnoid shunt, pressure dressing of the surgical area, and adjustment of the patient's position. Although there are many different treatment methods, watertight suture during surgery is still the key to dealing with this problem. At the same time, with the continuous advancement of medical science and technology, many biomaterials such as fibrin glue, hydrogel and U-shaped clips are constantly coming out, and more and more repair methods are being used clinically. But no matter what method is adopted, effectively closing the dura mater rupture and preventing cerebrospinal fluid leakage are of great significance for preventing postoperative complications and improving clinical prognosis. Therefore, after the spinal cord hemisection modeling is completed, this embodiment selects watertight suture of the dura mater and drainage tube 41 for drainage under the epidural fascia to reduce the risk of complications caused by postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

[0041] Step 7. Dura mater injury often leads to postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage, making the treatment of this problem complicated and difficult. If not handled properly, it may lead to many complications such as non-healing of the incision, dura mater pseudocysts, and intracranial hypotension. In severe cases, it may cause intraspinal infection and meningitis, which are life-threatening. In the past, it was believed that in patients with cerebrospinal fluid leakage, indwelling drainage in the surgical area may lead to cerebrospinal fluid skin fistula, pseudocyst formation, and even intracranial hemorrhage due to excessive drainage. Wolff et al. recommend that patients with good suture or watertight repair should be drained for 48 hours after surgery. If the repair is not done or the watertight repair cannot be achieved, drainage is not recommended to avoid excessive drainage. Clinical experience also suggests that long-term indwelling drainage tubes41 increase the risk of retrograde infection, and may also delay the time of leaving bed and increase the risk of bed-related complications such as aspiration pneumonia and deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities.

[0042] Recently, more and more studies have shown that after watertight suture repair of the dura mater, the retention of extradural subfascial drainage is not correlated with the occurrence of cerebrospinal fluid skin fistula, pseudocyst formation, subdural hemorrhage and other problems. There is a risk of hematoma compression in the early stage after lumbar surgery. Conventional retention drainage is beneficial to clear hematoma, eliminate dead space and promote healing. In addition, some scholars at home and abroad believe that extending the retention time of drainage tube 41 is also a safe and feasible method for treating postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage. The pressure formed when the fascia layer accumulates reduces the tension of soft tissue and keeps the surgical incision dry. At the same time, with the continuous scar healing of muscles and fascia, the low-pressure area outside the dural sac gradually closes and shrinks, which is also conducive to the repair of the dural sac.

[0043] See also Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In this regard, in this embodiment, from the completion of modeling until the drainage tube 41 is pulled out, considering that the experimental animal may pull out the drainage tube 41 spontaneously, the nursing clothes 50 are always worn and the drainage bag 42 is fixed with the nursing clothes 50, and it can be observed that there is no bloody exudate around the incision when the drainage tube 41 is connected. Moreover, as time goes by, the color of the drainage gradually becomes clear. Therefore, by observing the incision and drainage volume, the drainage tube 41 was pulled out on the 5th day of modeling. After the drainage tube 41 was pulled out, the incisions and drainage tubes 41 of all experimental animals healed well.

[0044] Thus, through the above seven steps, the non-human primate spinal cord hemisection injury model is completed.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the positioning guide needle 22 is a straight needle, and the cross-sections of the needle body and the needle tip of the positioning guide needle 22 are both crescent-shaped, and the inner sides of the needle body and the needle tip are connected to form the sliding groove 221.
