[0003] Currently, the use of experimental mice to conduct experimental research in exploring gene functions, causes and pathogenesis is very common and has broad application prospects. Mouse tail vein injection is simple and easy to perform injections and blood collection operations; in addition, the tail vein is located superficially and fixed, which facilitates stable and accurate injections. Intravenous injection of drugs has rapid absorption and the highest utilization rate, with significant effects, and is suitable for experiments that require precise control of drug dosage and speed. Tail vein injection is widely used and is suitable for a variety of experiments, including pharmacological research and pharmacokinetic research. It can ensure rapid distribution of drugs and provide support for subsequent immune response research. Because mice are small in size, sensitive to external stimuli, timid and easily startled, and their tail veins are relatively thin, it is crucial to optimize the fixation method and device for the mouse and its tail during tail vein injection.
[0004] Traditional mouse and tail holders are cylindrical devices with a retractable opening on one end and a ventilated opening on the other. For tail vein injection, the mouse is placed inside the holder, one end is then sealed, and the opening is left open to expose the mouse's tail for easy insertion. This is especially important for tail vein injections, as the mouse and its tail must be secured to maintain stability and facilitate the procedure.
[0005] When squeezing is used to fix the mouse tail, the squeezing force cannot be adjusted, making it difficult to prevent the mouse tail from shaking and inconvenient for tail vein injection; when the squeezing force is too large, the experimental mouse will feel less comfortable and prone to stress reactions; the squeezing position of the mouse tail cannot be adjusted, making it difficult to meet the needs of tail vein injection; it is difficult to clearly show the position and distribution of the mouse tail vein, resulting in poor efficiency of tail vein injection and increasing the difficulty of operation for the experimenter.

[0023] In this embodiment, the vertical lifting rod 5 is rotated to cooperate with the lifting rotating rod and the thread 10, and with the cooperation of the two guide mechanisms 4 and the corresponding slide grooves 9, the pressing block 3 is limited so that the pressing block 3 only rises or falls but does not rotate, which is beneficial to the tightening or loosening of the mouse tail, preventing the mouse tail from shaking, facilitating subsequent experiments, and not making the mouse uncomfortable.
[0024] Furthermore, the mouse tail clamping and auxiliary intravenous injection device also includes an L-shaped tail blocking plate 12, a first locking bolt 13 and a first nut 14, the L-shaped tail blocking plate 12 has a U-shaped opening 15, the L-shaped tail blocking plate 12 is arranged at the upper end of the support panel 1, the first locking bolt 13 passes through the support panel 1 and the L-shaped tail blocking plate 12, the first nut 14 is arranged on the first locking bolt 13, and the first nut 14 is against the L-shaped tail blocking plate 12.
[0025] In this embodiment, when in use, the device is placed at the rear end of the cylindrical fixture, and the tail of the mouse is supported by the L-shaped tail blocking plate 12 to prevent the mouse from moving in the cylindrical fixture. After the mouse is fixed, the tail of the mouse can be pulled out of the U-shaped opening 15 and then placed on the tail placement plate 6 to facilitate intravenous injection. The L-shaped tail blocking plate 12 has an arc-shaped protrusion, which can better fix the mouse, and the L-shaped tail blocking plate 12 is fixed to the support panel 1 through the cooperation of the first locking bolt 13 and the first nut 14.
[0026] Furthermore, a rubber pad 16 is provided at the lower end of the inverted V-shaped clamping plate 7 .
[0027] In this embodiment, the provision of the rubber pad 16 prevents the inverted V-shaped clamping plate 7 from directly and rigidly contacting the mouse's tail, thereby preventing the mouse's tail from being squeezed and damaged.
[0028] Furthermore, the axial adjustment locking mechanism includes two L-shaped plates 17, two second locking bolts 18, and two second nuts 19. The support panel 1 has two strip-shaped slots 20. The two L-shaped plates 17 are respectively placed on the upper end of the support panel 1. The two second locking bolts 18 pass through the corresponding strip-shaped slots 20 respectively.

[0034] When using the mouse tail compression and auxiliary intravenous injection device of the present invention, the mouse tail is first removed from the barrel through the U-shaped opening 15 on the L-shaped tail blocking plate 12. The axial position of the axial adjustment locking mechanism is determined according to the appropriate tail intravenous injection position, and locked using two second locking bolts 18 and two second nuts 19. Then, the vertical lifting rod 5 rotates and, under the guidance of the guide mechanism 4, drives the pressing block 3 to descend but not rotate, thereby comfortably compressing the mouse tail. Secondly, after soaking the mouse's tail in hot water, turn on the light to clearly show the distribution of the mouse's tail veins and prepare for injection; then, place the mouse in a lateral position, and under the illumination of yellow light, the tail vein will be clearly presented; generally, find the lateral tail vein first, and if the lateral tail vein is not clear, then find the dorsal tail vein; after finding the puncture point, use alcohol to disinfect the injection site, lock the axial position of the clamping mechanism, and press down the clamp to further expand the blood vessels; then, pinch the tip of the mouse's tail with one hand to prevent it from swinging due to the mouse's struggle during the injection process; hold the syringe with the other hand so that the needle tip is facing upwards, and the entire The needle is placed against the tail, along the direction of the tail vein, and slowly inserted parallel to it. Generally, the tail vein can be punctured when the needle is about 1-1.5mm deep. After successful puncture, a push injection can be performed. If the injection volume is less than 100μL, it can be injected quickly to prevent the mouse from struggling and getting rid of the needle. If the injection volume is large, the flow rate must be controlled and not too fast. After the push injection is completed, it is necessary to wait a few seconds before withdrawing the needle. Withdraw the needle quickly and then immediately use a hemostatic clamp or other method to stop bleeding. After the injection is completed, turn off the lights, loosen the tail clamping mechanism, remove the two opening locking mechanisms and the axial clamping screw, remove the mouse, and complete the entire mouse intravenous injection. After the injection is completed, turn off the lights, loosen the tail clamping mechanism, and then complete the entire mouse tail intravenous injection.
