Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the medical experiment equipment technical field, concretely relates to a rat thrombus forming device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the study of the construction of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) model, the most commonly used method is the autologous thrombus method. This method simulates the pulmonary hypertension caused by autologous thrombus formation. Specifically, first, autologous thrombus is injected through the jugular vein to induce thromboembolism in the pulmonary vessels, and then to cause the formation of pulmonary hypertension. In this method, the common operation steps include: using a capillary glass tube to collect autologous blood from the orbital vein of the rat, and placing it in a culture dish, and standing overnight to promote blood coagulation. Then, use normal saline to flush out the coagulated blood clots. Finally, use ophthalmic scissors or a scalpel to cut the blood clots into small pieces about 1 to 3 millimeters in size as thrombus material, ready for jugular vein injection. This operation process simulates the process of autologous thrombus formation, providing an effective experimental platform for the study of the pathophysiology of CTEPH.

[0003] The existing process of preparing thrombus has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Because the inner diameter of the capillary glass tube is small, the blood clots are easily restricted by the tube wall and are not easy to flush out smoothly, so it is more laborious to flush the blood clots out of the tube, and the process is more complicated.

[0005] 2. Since the thrombus needs to be cut into blocks in millimeters, it requires the operator to accurately control the size and length of each thrombus. Obviously, this process requires high operating skill and patience, so it takes a long time and often affects the overall progress of the experiment.

[0006] 3. Due to the limitations of human operation, the size and length of the thrombus are difficult to be completely consistent. If the length of the thrombus is too long, it may cause fatal complications in the rat during intravenous infusion; if the thrombus is too small, it may not effectively induce pulmonary thromboembolism, and thus the pulmonary hypertension model cannot be successfully established. Therefore, the size and length of the thrombus need to be strictly controlled to ensure the effectiveness of the experiment and the safety of the animals.

[0007] 4. Since the amount of thrombus needs to be controlled for each rat thrombus injection, but the thrombus is too small to count.

[0008] 5. The eye blood collection causes great harm to the rat, and the rat needs to be anesthetized for each blood collection, increasing the risk of death of the rat. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
