Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of experimental technology of mouse burns, and more specifically to an experimental device for mouse anesthesia burns. Background Technology
[0002] The mouse scalding experiment is a commonly used medical research experiment. It allows observation of the pathophysiological mechanisms of scalded mice and the differences in the efficacy of different treatment methods, providing strong scientific evidence for the treatment and rehabilitation of burn patients. This experiment has broad application prospects in burn medicine, wound repair, and other fields. There are various scalding methods for mouse scalding experiments, including the hot water method, the steam method, and the copper rod method. Among these, the steam method and the hot water method are more commonly used. The steam method involves scalding the mouse's back with steam generated by heating, while the hot water method involves immersing the mouse's back in hot water.
[0003] In the experiment of scalding mice with hot water, healthy adult mice were first selected as experimental subjects. The mice were then anesthetized and the fur on their backs was removed. The experimenters then held the mice and placed them back down in hot water to scald them. However, this method has the following drawbacks: First, the experimenters are prone to burning their hands during the operation, which is not safe. Second, the outline of the scalded area on the mouse's back is irregular, making it difficult to calculate the scalded area on the mouse's back.
[0004] Therefore, in medical experiments involving scalding mice with hot water, how to provide a safe and easily controllable anesthetic scalding experimental device that can calculate the scalding area of mice is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, in order to solve the technical problems of lack of safety when experimental personnel handle mice to perform scalding, the irregular shape of the outline of the scald on the back of the mouse, and the difficulty in calculating the scald area, this utility model provides a mouse anesthesia scald experimental device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An experimental apparatus for anesthetic burns in mice includes a water bath, a support frame, a strip-shaped mouse placement tank, an anesthetic gas cylinder, an anesthesia machine, and a gas delivery tube. The water bath has a water reservoir at its top for storing hot water. The bottom end of the support frame abuts against the inner bottom wall of the water reservoir. The mouse placement tank is fixed to the support frame, and its radial cross-section is arc-shaped with the arc-shaped opening facing upwards. An elliptical burn wound is formed on the inner bottom wall of the mouse placement tank. The water level in the water reservoir is higher than the burn wound but lower than the opening of the mouse placement tank. The anesthetic gas cylinder is axially fixed to the inner bottom wall of the mouse placement tank, with its open end corresponding to the burn wound and a perforation at its closed end. The anesthetic gas outlet of the anesthesia machine is connected to one end of the gas delivery tube, and the other end of the gas delivery tube passes through the support frame and the perforation, communicating with the inner cavity of the anesthetic gas cylinder.
[0008] Based on the above technical solution, this utility model provides a mouse anesthesia scald experimental device. When scalding a mouse, the anesthetized mouse is first placed on a mouse placement tank, with its back covered and the scald wound exposed, and its head inserted into the anesthesia gas cylinder. Then, the gas anesthesia machine is activated, outputting anesthetic gas to the anesthesia gas cylinder to maintain the mouse in a continuous anesthetized state. Next, a support frame is placed in the water tank of a water bath, and the water level in the water tank is controlled to be above the scald wound but below the opening of the mouse placement tank. Finally, after standing for a period of time, the support frame is removed to complete the experiment. This utility model's mouse anesthesia scald experimental device uses a support frame instead of the experimenter's hands to hold the mouse during the scald experiment, avoiding burns to the experimenter's hands and improving safety. Furthermore, the elliptical scald wound makes the outline of the scald on the mouse's back more regular, making it easier to calculate the area of the scald on the mouse's back. This device has a simple structure, reasonable design, and is easy to control and operate.
[0009] Preferably, the support frame includes two support plates, the bottom ends of which abut against the bottom wall of the water storage pot and are arranged opposite to each other, and the two ends of the mouse placement tank are respectively fixed to the lower part of the two support plates.
[0010] Preferably, a mouse anesthesia burn experimental device further includes a handle rod, which is arranged between the two support plates and its two ends are respectively fixed to the top of the two support plates.
[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the support frame is more convenient to move and carry through the handle rod.
[0012] Preferably, the distance from the bottom of the handle to the lowest point of the inner wall of the mouse placement slot is 10cm.
[0013] Preferably, a mouse anesthesia burn experimental device further includes a mouse pressing component, which includes a connecting strap and a pressing block; the two ends of the connecting strap are respectively fixed to the upper parts of the two support plates; the pressing block is arranged vertically corresponding to the burn wound, with its top fixed to the connecting strap and its bottom able to apply pressure to the mouse to keep the mouse's body in an extended state.
[0014] The beneficial effect of using the above technical solution is that mice that have been anesthetized and are in a coma may slightly retract their limbs through physiological reactions. When the experimenter gently presses the pressure block with their fingers, the pressure block applies slight pressure to the mouse, keeping the mouse's body in an extended state.
[0015] Preferably, the connecting strip is made of silicone material.
[0016] Preferably, a mouse anesthesia burn experimental device further includes a limiting wire mesh, which is fixed to the bottom of the mouse placement tank and seals the burn wound to prevent the mouse from sliding out of the burn wound.
[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the limiting wire mesh can not only prevent mice from slipping out of the scalded wound, but also prevent the surface of the mouse's back from being excessively immersed in hot water.
[0018] Preferably, the mouse placement tank and the two support plates are both acrylic plates.
[0019] Preferably, a mouse anesthesia burn experimental device further includes a positioning frame, which includes a U-shaped bracket and an arc-shaped connecting rod. There are two U-shaped brackets that are parallel to each other, and there are two arc-shaped connecting rods. The two ends of the two arc-shaped connecting rods are respectively fixed to the corresponding ends of the two U-shaped brackets. Each arc-shaped connecting rod is bent downward and its arc-shaped concave surface supports the mouse placement tank.
[0020] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that when the support frame is not in use, it can be stored on the positioning frame.
[0021] Preferably, the length of the mouse placement tank is 25cm-30cm, and the radius of the arc is 2cm-2.5cm. Attached Figure Description
