TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical equipment required by eye tissue research, especially to a four -in -one positioning formula eye choroid standardization sample preparation device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Microvascular angiogenesis (MVA) is a necessary biological process for human growth and development and tissue damage repair, and abnormal MVA is the pathological basis for the occurrence and development of many eye vascular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity and age-related macular degeneration. Through scientific research on MVA, its pathogenesis and key regulatory molecules can be clarified, which helps to develop new strategies for clinical treatment.
[0003] At present, the choroid sprouting model is an important means to study eye MVA: choroid is a layer of eye tissue rich in microvessels, and the model is obtained by isolating choroid (in practice, retinal pigment epithelium-choroid-sclera tissue) and culturing in vitro in culture medium to observe the effect of different interventions on choroid MVA, so as to explore the occurrence mechanism and intervention strategy of eye MVA.
[0004] At present, the preparation of choroid tissue is mainly through manual micro-operation, that is, under a microscope, eye micro-instruments (microscopical scissors, microforceps) are used for empirical tissue cutting. This method has some problems to be solved:
[0005] (1) The tissue area is not uniform. Previous studies have shown that the in vitro MVA growth rate of choroid tissue in different areas is significantly different, and the rate decreases from the peripheral part to the posterior part.
[0006] (2) The shape of the tissue is inconsistent. The size and shape of the choroid tissue prepared by manual micro-operation are obviously different.
[0007] (3) The in vitro time is inconsistent. Too slow operation will cause too large difference in in vitro time between different tissues, and thus cause different tissue activities.
[0008] (4) The integrity of the tissue is damaged. Micro-instruments will inevitably damage the prepared tissue, such as clamping by microforceps during operation.
[0009] (5) The risk of contamination is increased. Too many instruments and operations will increase the risk of tissue contamination. The above problems will cause differences in tissue samples between different groups, affecting the control setting and the accuracy of the research results in scientific research. How to standardize the preparation of tissue to improve the reliability of research results and make different researches have certain reference value to each other has become a problem to be solved.
