[0051] The embodiments will be described below in conjunction with the drawings and a specific embodiment.

[0052] In order to make the purposes, technical schemes and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical schemes of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application.

[0053] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it can not be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0054] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 The experimental animal blood sampling and perfusion device described in the present embodiment comprises a perfusion needle tube 100 and a blood sampling needle tube 200, and is suitable for heart blood sampling and organ perfusion of experimental animals such as rats.

[0055] The side wall of the perfusion needle tube 100 is communicated with a formaldehyde input tube 120 and a physiological saline input tube 110. The design of the perfusion needle tube 100 needs to ensure that the side wall thereof can stably and sealingly communicate the formaldehyde input tube 120 and the physiological saline input tube 110. The material of the perfusion needle tube 100 should be selected from materials with good biocompatibility and chemical corrosion resistance, such as medical-grade stainless steel or plastic.

[0056] Two supply containers (conventional containers, not shown in the drawings) are prepared, one for storing 4℃ polyformaldehyde and the other for storing 30-37℃ physiological saline. These containers should have a heat preservation function to maintain the temperature of the liquid stable. The polyformaldehyde supply container should have good sealing performance to prevent formaldehyde from volatilizing. The physiological saline supply container should be kept clean to ensure that the physiological saline is not contaminated.

[0057] Flow valves (conventional flow valves, not shown in the figure) are installed on the formaldehyde input pipe 120 and the physiological saline input pipe 110, respectively. These flow valves can be manually adjusted or electronically controlled to achieve precise flow rate and flow control. The selection of the flow valve should consider the convenience and accuracy of operation, as well as the compatibility with the supply container and the perfusion needle pipe 100. Any flow valve used in the prior art can be used in the device of the present application. Before the experiment begins, the flow rate and flow of the flow valve are set according to the body weight and heart size of the experimental animal. The adjustment of the flow valve should ensure that the perfusion solution can flow uniformly and continuously into the heart, avoiding too fast or too slow flow rate causing heart injury or insufficient perfusion. Before the formal experiment, the temperature and pressure test of the perfusion solution should be carried out to ensure that the temperature and pressure of the perfusion solution meet the experimental requirements when flowing into the heart. This can be monitored in real time by connecting a pressure sensor and a thermometer to the supply container and the perfusion needle pipe 100.

[0058] The blood collection needle pipe 200 is slidingly assembled in the perfusion needle pipe 100, the first end of the blood collection needle pipe 200 is provided with an elastic ball cage 210, and the second end is provided with a sampling pipe connector 220; the elastic ball cage 210 hides or exposes the perfusion needle pipe 100 according to the use state. The blood collection needle pipe 200 is designed to be smoothly slidingly assembled in the perfusion needle pipe 100. This assembly allows the blood collection needle pipe 200 to move freely inside the perfusion needle pipe 100, so that the position of the blood collection needle pipe 200 can be adjusted as needed. During assembly, ensure that the connection part of the two needle pipes is sealed well to prevent liquid leakage during operation. The first end of the blood collection needle pipe 200 is provided with an elastic ball cage 210, which is composed of six elastic springs 211, forming an extensible lantern framework structure. The first end of the six elastic springs 211 is connected with the blood collection needle pipe 200, and the second end of the six elastic springs 211 is connected and structured as a smooth curved surface. The design of the elastic ball cage 210 allows it to hide in the inner wall of the perfusion needle pipe 100 when not in use, facilitating the puncture operation.

[0059] The second end of the blood collection needle pipe 200 is provided with a sampling pipe connector 220, which is used to connect an external blood collection container or blood collection system. The sampling pipe connector 220 should be designed to be easy to connect and disconnect, while ensuring the sealing and sterility of the connection.

[0060] During use, the state of the elastic ball cage 210 is adjusted as needed. When blood collection is needed, the blood collection needle tube 200 is operated so that the elastic ball cage 210 extends out of the perfusion needle tube 100 and is expanded to form a larger opening, so that blood flows smoothly into the blood collection needle tube 200, and also facilitates the flow of formaldehyde and physiological saline into the heart chamber. After perfusion is completed, the elastic ball cage 210 can be retracted and hidden in the perfusion needle tube 100 to reduce interference with the internal structure of the heart. Before actual use, a test operation is performed to ensure that the elastic ball cage 210 can be smoothly extended and retracted, and can stably maintain its shape in the extended state to prevent the heart tissue from blocking the needle.

[0061] In the blood collection operation, first, the perfusion needle tube 100 is punctured into the heart of the experimental animal, such as a rat, and then the blood collection needle tube 200 is pushed to extend the elastic ball cage 210 and expand it, and the diameter of the elastic ball cage 210 exposed after the perfusion needle tube 100 is 1-1.8 times the outer diameter of the perfusion needle tube 100, and blood collection begins. After blood collection is completed, perfusion is performed, and after perfusion is completed, the elastic ball cage 210 is retracted into the perfusion needle tube 100.

[0062] After the blood collection and perfusion operations are completed, the blood collection needle tube 200 is disassembled and cleaned and disinfected for next use. The integrity and elasticity of the elastic ball cage 210 are checked to ensure that its function is not impaired.

[0063] In further embodiments, a perfusion flow channel 300 is provided between the perfusion needle tube 100 and the blood collection needle tube 200. Preferably, the contact surface of the elastic sheet 211 with the inner wall of the perfusion needle tube 100 is provided with a groove.

[0064] In further embodiments, in order to prevent blood clotting in the perfusion needle tube 100 or the blood collection needle tube 200, an anticoagulant heparin can be applied to the inner walls of the two needle tubes. The heparin suitable for medical use is usually heparin sodium or heparin calcium. This anticoagulant can prevent blood from clotting in the needle tube, keep the blood flowing smoothly, and reduce hemolysis during blood collection. The heparin is dissolved in a suitable solvent, usually physiological saline or sterile water, to form a heparin solution. The concentration of the heparin solution is adjusted as needed, and the general concentration range can be between 1 unit / ml and 10 units / ml.
