Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of blood circulation, in particular to a device for inducing blood microcirculation disorder in zebrafish. Background Art
[0002] Microcirculation refers to the blood circulation between arterioles and venules. The most fundamental function of blood circulation is to exchange substances between blood and tissues, and this function is achieved in the microcirculation part. Microcirculation is crucial to maintaining human health, promoting wound healing, regulating body temperature, and skin color and appearance.
[0003] Using zebrafish to study microcirculation takes advantage of the high homology between zebrafish embryos and human genomes and the transparent nature of fish embryos, which makes it easy to observe blood vessels. To study and improve microcirculation, it is necessary to first establish a model of microcirculatory disorders. Current experiments generally use direct comparison with a blank group or by adding the chemical arachidonic acid to induce thrombosis in zebrafish.
[0004] The first method does not establish a model of microcirculatory disorders, but uses a blank comparison method to verify the effect of improving microcirculation. However, the microcirculation of zebrafish in the blank group is easily changed by external stimuli, such as rising ambient temperature or stress, which will affect the results of improving microcirculation. Although the effect of establishing a thrombosis model by using arachidonic acid is better, it is necessary to inject this substance into the circulatory system of zebrafish, which has the problem of difficulty in operation. In addition, arachidonic acid has certain irritation and toxicity, which will have adverse effects on both the experimenter and the zebrafish. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0033] The utility model provides Figures 1 to 6 The device shown in the figure for inducing blood microcirculation disorder in zebrafish comprises: a water tank 1 for storing zebrafish; a water circulation filter assembly 2 arranged outside the water tank 1;
[0034] The water circulation filter assembly 2 comprises a circulation pipe 21 installed on both sides of the water tank 1, a filter frame 22 is fixedly connected to the middle section of the circulation pipe 21, and the inner cavity of the filter frame 22 is filled with iron filings 23;
[0035] A vacuum pumping assembly 3 is arranged outside the water tank 1; the vacuum pumping assembly 3 includes a tank cover 31 installed on the top of the water tank 1, an air guide pipe 32 is installed on the top of the tank cover 31, and one end of the air guide pipe 32 away from the tank cover 31 is connected to a vacuum pump 33;
[0036] It also includes a temperature control device 4 located at the bottom of the water tank 1; by passing the water in the water tank 1 through the circulation pipe 21 and the filter frame 22, the iron filings 23 in the filter frame 22 react with oxygen to achieve the purpose of consuming oxygen in the water, and then the vacuum pump 33 evacuates the gas in the upper layer of the inner cavity of the water tank 1, so as to promote the oxygen in the water in the water tank 1 to precipitate from the water, thereby reducing the oxygen content in the water, and then the temperature control device 4 is used to heat the water tank 1, which can not only speed up the oxygen precipitation speed in the water, but also improve the reaction speed of iron blood and oxygen. When the oxygen content in the water is reduced, the zebrafish cannot breathe oxygen in the water, resulting in a decrease in the oxygen content in the blood, thereby inducing blood circulation disorders in the zebrafish. This method does not require the use of chemical agents and is safe and easy to operate.
[0037] A sealing cover 5 is installed on the top of the filter frame 22, and a filter mesh frame 6 is installed on the bottom of the sealing cover 5. The iron filings 23 are located in the filter mesh frame 6. Through the setting of the sealing cover 5, it is convenient to seal the top of the filter frame 22 to ensure the sealing of the filter frame 22, and prevent the outside air from entering the circulation pipe 21 through the filter frame 22, resulting in the oxygen content in the water cannot be reduced, and then unable to induce zebrafish microcirculation disorders.
[0038] Two groups of guide plates 7 are installed in the filter frame 22. The guide plates 7 are arranged in a staggered manner. The outer side of the filter mesh frame 6 is attached to the inner wall of the filter frame 22 and the outer wall of the guide plates 7. The setting of the guide plates 7 facilitates the diversion of the aquaculture water flowing through the filter frame 22, prolongs the time for the aquaculture water to flow through the filter frame 22, and leaves enough time for the iron filings 23 to react with the oxygen in the water and consume the oxygen.
[0039] Both ends of the water tank 1 are connected with a right-angle elbow 8, and the end of the circulation pipe 21 away from the filter frame 22 is inserted into the inside of the right-angle elbow 8. The outer side of the circulation pipe 21 is provided with a first tightening threaded sleeve 9, and the first tightening threaded sleeve 9 is threadedly connected to the end of the right-angle elbow 8 away from the water tank 1. The circulation pipe 21 is inserted into the right-angle elbow 8, and then the circulation pipe 21 is limited and tightened by the first tightening threaded sleeve 9 to ensure that the circulation pipe 21 is connected to the water tank 1 through the right-angle elbow 8, forming a connected water circulation system, so that the aquaculture water in the water tank 1 continuously flows through the filter frame 22 to reduce the oxygen content in the water.
[0040] The top of the tank cover 31 is connected to a linear joint 10, and the end of the air guide tube 32 away from the vacuum pump 33 is inserted into the interior of the linear joint 10. The outer side of the air guide tube 32 is sleeved with a second tightening threaded sleeve 11, and the second tightening threaded sleeve 11 is threadedly connected to the end of the linear joint 10 away from the tank cover 31. Through the cooperation of the linear joint 10 and the second tightening threaded sleeve 11, the air guide tube 32 is conveniently connected to the tank cover 31 to ensure that the vacuum pump 33 is started, so that the air in the water tank 1 can be extracted to form a quasi-vacuum state.
[0041] The water circulation filtration component 2 also includes a water pump 24, which is installed on the circulation pipe 21. A control valve 12 is installed in the right-angle elbow 8. By installing the water pump 24 on the circulation pipe 21, the aquaculture water is driven to speed up the flow of the aquaculture water in the circulation pipe 21, so that the aquaculture water in the water tank 1 is continuously replaced. At the same time, the control valve 12 on the right-angle elbow 8 can control the on and off of the circulation system in the circulation pipe 21.
[0042] A plurality of mounting holes are provided on the outer side of the sealing cover 5, and mounting screws 13 are movably provided in the mounting holes. One end of the mounting screw 13 passes through the sealing cover 5 and is threadedly connected to the filter frame 22. The sealing cover 5 is installed on the top of the filter frame 22 by using the mounting screw 13 to ensure the sealing of the filter frame 22, and at the same time facilitate the replacement of the iron filings 23 in the filter mesh frame 6.
[0043] The inner cavity of the tank cover 31 is provided with a groove, and the groove is filled with a sealing ring 14. The sealing ring 14 passes through the groove and is squeezed and fitted with the outer wall of the water tank 1. By filling the sealing ring 14 in the groove and then clamping the tank cover 31 on the top of the water tank 1, the gap between the tank cover 31 and the water tank 1 is filled with the sealing ring 14 to ensure the sealing.
[0044] Filter plates 15 are installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the water tank 1. The filter plates 15 are located on the outer side of the end of the circulation pipe 21. By installing two groups of filter plates 15 in the water tank 1, zebrafish are prevented from entering the circulation pipe 21 and causing blockage of the circulation pipe 21.
[0045] A support base 16 is provided at the bottom of the temperature control device 4, and a slot 17 for engaging with the vacuum pump 33 and the temperature control device 4 is provided at the top of the support base 16. A placement rack 18 is fixed to the top of the support base 16 and is in contact with the bottom of the water pump 24 and the filter frame 22. The support base 16 is used to facilitate the limited support of the vacuum pump 33, the water tank 1, the water pump 24 and the filter frame 22 to ensure the stability of the device structure.
[0046] When used specifically, the zebrafish is placed in the aquaculture water in the water tank 1, and then the tank cover 31 is covered, and the water pump 24 is started. The aquaculture water is circulated by the water pump 24. When the aquaculture water passes through the filter frame 22 in the middle section of the circulation pipe 21, the oxygen in the water contacts and reacts with the iron filings 23 in the filter frame 6, consuming the oxygen in the water. After continuous water circulation, the oxygen in the aquaculture water in the water tank 1 is gradually reduced. Then the vacuum pump 33 is started, and the vacuum pump 33 extracts the air in the upper layer of the inner cavity of the water tank 1 through the air guide pipe 32, so that a vacuum state is formed above the aquaculture water, which promotes the precipitation of the gas dissolved in the water, and then further reduces the oxygen content in the water. At the same time, the temperature control device 4 can heat the aquaculture water in the water tank 1, which not only accelerates the consumption of oxygen, but also accelerates the precipitation speed of oxygen. Since the zebrafish is in the aquaculture water, the reduction of the oxygen content in the aquaculture water directly leads to the reduction of the oxygen content in the blood circulation of the zebrafish, inducing microcirculation disorders.
