Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical experimental equipment, and in particular relates to an SPF-grade mouse breeding cage. Background Art
[0002] The SPF-level experimental animal barrier system is a facility that provides a highly clean and controllable living environment for experimental animals. It plays a vital role in animal experiments and ensures the accuracy and reliability of experimental results. For experimental mice, a rotary feed cage and a side-sealed cage are usually used. The cage structure is shown in Chinese Patent 201120412289.X. It includes a sealed box body and a cage cover. The outer end face and the inner end face of the box body are respectively provided with an air inlet and an exhaust port, and the distribution position of the exhaust port is higher than the air inlet. The air inlet is arranged at the lower part of the outer end face of the box body, and the exhaust port is arranged at the upper part of the inner end face of the box body. It is particularly preferred that the orthographic projection of the box body on the horizontal plane is fan-shaped, and its inner end is smaller than the outer end.
[0003] The first inventor of this patent presided over (1) Henan Provincial Science and Technology Key Project (Project No. 242102310087, Project Name: The mechanism of Huatan Huoxue Jiedu Recipe's anti-atherosclerosis effect by regulating macrophage ferroptosis via SystemXc- / GSH / GPX4 axis); (2) Henan Provincial Medical Science and Technology Key Project (Project No. LHGJ20230690, Project Name: Based on the material basis of efficacy, the mechanism of Huatan Huoxue Jiedu Recipe's anti-atherosclerosis effect by inhibiting macrophage pyroptosis via MALAT1 / NLRP3 / 1L-1β signaling axis) which required a large number of experimental mice for modeling; (3) Henan Provincial Natural Science Foundation (Project No. 232300420273, Project Name: Based on the MALAT1 / miR-15b-5p / MAPK1 signaling axis, the mechanism of Huatan Huoxue Jiedu Recipe's anti-atherosclerosis effect by inhibiting macrophage pyroptosis was explored).
[0004] During the mouse breeding and modeling process, it was found that the existing mouse cages had the following deficiencies in actual use: ① The space is small and some experimental mice are naturally irritable and affected by experimental factors (such as high-fat diet), which will further aggravate the mice's irritability and easily cause mutual attacks, resulting in injuries or even death of mice, and the existing mouse cages lack emergency avoidance devices; ② Most drinking water devices are hanging gravity water bottles, which will drip due to gravity when not in use, making the cage environment humid, the bedding and mouse hair soaked, and the long-term damp living space can easily cause skin diseases or even death in mice; ③ At this stage, adding feed requires manual operation, which is relatively cumbersome, and some special feeds are prone to deterioration due to seasonal issues, affecting the progress of the experiment; ④ During the growth of mice, the incisors are always growing, and the grinding equipment needs to be put in regularly. At this stage, most of them are directly put in, and it is difficult to remove the residue as a consumable; ⑤ At this stage, the exhaust device only considers the inlet and outlet ventilation, and does not consider the impact of odor on experimental data. ⑥ Among the litter materials, wood chip litter contains fine dust that can easily cause lung damage to mice, or even lead to their death; corn cob litter, mice will eat corn cobs, which can easily cause intestinal obstruction, affect the accuracy of experimental data, or even cause death.
