Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of experimental equipment technology, specifically relating to an ion monitoring device for an experimental model of rabbit hepatic encephalopathy. Background Technology
[0002] The "Hepatic Encephalopathy in Rabbits" experiment is one of the comprehensive experimental projects in the functional experimental science course of various medical schools. This experiment involves the experimental verification of the pathogenesis mechanism of hepatic encephalopathy—the ammonia poisoning theory. Changes in the concentration of ammonia in the blood directly affect the course of hepatic encephalopathy and treatment strategies, which has a direct impact on students' understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease.
[0003] The "rabbit hepatic encephalopathy" experiment involves various stimuli, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and ammonia ions. These different stimuli can affect the rabbit's arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate. Changes in these indicators need to be monitored in real time during the disease process. Therefore, during the "rabbit hepatic encephalopathy" experiment (early, middle, progression, and recovery phases), it is necessary to monitor the rabbit's arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate in real time.

[0020] A fixed connection refers to a connection in which parts or components are fixed in place, with no relative movement between them. These connections are divided into two types: detachable and non-detachable.
[0021] (1) Detachable connections use screws, splines, wedges, etc. to fix parts together. This type of connection can be disassembled during maintenance without damaging the parts. However, the specifications of the connecting parts used must be correct (such as the length of bolts, keys, wedges) and properly tightened.
[0022] (2) Non-removable connections mainly refer to welding, riveting, and tenon joints. Since disassembly is required by forging, sawing, or oxy-acetylene cutting during repair or replacement, the parts generally cannot be reused.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0035] A transducer, also known as a sensor, is a device that converts non-electrical signals of physiological activities into electrical signals with a definite functional relationship. There are many types of transducers, but the two main types commonly used in physiological experiments are pressure transducers and tension transducers.
[0036] Pressure transducers are mainly used to measure blood pressure, intracardiac pressure, intracranial pressure, intrathoracic pressure, gastrointestinal pressure, and intraocular pressure. They operate on the Wheatstone bridge principle. When external pressure is applied to the transducer, the resistance of the sensitive element changes, causing an imbalance in the bridge and generating an electrical signal.
[0037] Tension transducers are mainly used to record muscle contraction curves. Their working principle is similar to that of pressure transducers. Tension transducers can convert tension signals into electrical signals.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an ion monitoring device for an experimental model of hepatic encephalopathy in rabbits includes:
[0039] Control panel 1, on which monitoring system 2 is installed;
[0040] The monitoring system 2 includes a first base 21, a first fixing rod 22 is fixedly connected to the center of the first base 21, two slidably connected fixing clips 23 are sleeved on the first fixing rod 22, and fastening bolts 24 are threadedly connected to the side of the fixing clips 23.
[0041] Tension transducer 25, the input end of tension transducer 25 is detachably connected to fixing clip 23, and a three-way valve 26 is detachably connected to the input end of tension transducer 25. An endotracheal tube 27 is detachably connected to the three-way valve 26 for monitoring respiratory rate.
[0042] Pressure transducer 28, the input end of pressure transducer 28 is detachably connected to fixing clip 23, and a three-way valve 26 is detachably connected to the input end of pressure transducer 28. An arterial cannula 29 is detachably connected to the three-way valve 26 for monitoring arterial blood pressure and heart rate.
[0043] The input end of the tension transducer contains a spring. After the endotracheal tube is inserted into the trachea, the fluctuations in breathing will cause the tension transducer to detect changes in vertical force. The changes in tension signal are converted into electrical signals. The respiratory rate is recorded by collecting the number of times the physical tension of the chest cavity moves during breathing.
[0044] The input end of the pressure transducer contains a spring. After the arterial cannula is inserted into the blood vessel, the change in blood flow will affect the change in the sensitivity of the spring. The blood pressure signal is also converted into an electrical signal. The physical pressure is transmitted to the sensor through the cannula. The sensor converts the physical signal into an electrical signal, thereby recording arterial blood pressure and heart rate.
[0045] The operation process of the cardiac and respiratory function monitoring system 2 in this application is as follows:
[0046] 1. Animal anesthesia: Select the right ear vein of the rabbit for puncture, and slowly inject 25% urethane (4ml / kg, 1g / kg) for anesthesia. When signs of decreased pupillary reflex and decreased muscle tone in the limbs appear, fix the limbs and fix them in the supine position on the operating table 1.
[0047] 2. Tracheal separation and intubation: The rabbit is placed in a supine position, and the fur on the front of the neck is cut off. About 2cm below the thyroid cartilage, a 5-7cm long incision is made along the midline. The subcutaneous fascia and muscles are bluntly separated with hemostatic forceps or glass needles to expose the trachea and separate the connective tissue around the trachea. A thick cotton thread is threaded through the trachea for later use. An inverted "T" shaped incision is made about the 5th-7th ring of the thyroid cartilage. A tracheal tube 27 is inserted and fixed with thick cotton thread. This experimental procedure is used to monitor the respiratory rate.
[0048] 3. Carotid artery dissection and cannulation: Bluntly dissect the carotid artery 3-4 cm with a glass needle, thread silk sutures for later use, to avoid accidental injury to the anterior thyroid artery. Clamp the proximal end of the carotid artery with an arterial clamp, ligate the distal end with silk sutures, and cut a "V" shaped incision 0.5 cm from the ligation point at the distal end. Insert the arterial cannula 29 parallel to the heart and insert it into the artery for about 2 cm, fix it with silk sutures, and prefill the cannula with 125 U / ml heparin. Set the three-way valve 26 to the 45°C closed position. This experimental procedure is used to measure carotid artery blood pressure and heart rate.
[0049] 4. Connect the system and select the experimental module: Connect the tension transducer 25 to the endotracheal cannula 27, and connect the other end to the BL-4231 biosignal acquisition and processing system. Connect the pressure transducer 28 to the arterial cannula 29, and connect the other end to the BL-4231 biosignal acquisition and processing system. Monitor the changes in various cardiac function indicators (arterial blood pressure and heart rate) and respiratory rate during the progression of hepatic encephalopathy (early, middle, progressive, and recovery stages) to increase the scientific nature and reproducibility of the experimental operation.
[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, an intravenous infusion system 3 is provided on the operating table 1. The intravenous infusion system 3 includes a second base 31. A second fixing rod 32 is fixedly connected to the center of the second base 31. A fixing clip 23 is slidably connected on the second fixing rod 32. A fastening bolt 24 is threadedly connected to the side of the fixing clip 23. A limiting ring 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the second fixing rod 32. A liquid storage cylinder 34 is sleeved inside the limiting ring 33. An infusion set 35 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the liquid storage cylinder 34.
[0051] The pressure transducer 28 has its input end detachably connected to the fixing clamp 23. The input end of the pressure transducer 28 is detachably connected to two three-way valves 26. One of the three-way valves 26 is detachably connected to an intravenous catheter 36 and a syringe 37, and the other three-way valve 26 is detachably connected to the output end of the infusion set 35.
[0052] The input end of the pressure transducer contains a spring. After the arterial cannula is inserted into the blood vessel, the change in blood flow will affect the change in the sensitivity of the spring. The blood pressure signal is also converted into an electrical signal. The physical pressure is transmitted to the sensor through the cannula. The sensor converts the physical signal into an electrical signal, thereby recording arterial blood pressure and heart rate.
[0053] The operation process of the intravenous infusion system 3 of this application is as follows:
[0054] 1. Animal anesthesia: Select the right ear vein of the rabbit for puncture, and slowly inject 25% urethane (4ml / kg, 1g / kg) for anesthesia. When signs of decreased pupillary reflex and decreased muscle tone in the limbs appear, fix the limbs and fix them in the supine position on the operating table 1.
[0055] 2. External jugular vein dissection and cannulation: Make an incision on the left side of the neck and evert the skin. Use a glass needle to bluntly dissect the connective tissue to a length of 2 cm, threading two cotton sutures for later use. Clamp the distal end of the artery. Make a "V"-shaped incision on the proximal end of the vein wall. Insert a venous catheter 36 filled with normal saline towards the heart 1-2 cm, securing it with silk sutures. Release the arterial clamp. The external jugular vein is used for injection and infusion. Connect it to a pressure transducer 28 via a three-way valve 26. The catheter is pre-filled with normal saline. An infusion set 35 with a Mofeld tube replaces the infusion tube, maintaining a stable fluid flow rate. A 2.5% ammonium chloride solution is injected using a three-way valve 26, with the flow rate controlled at 40-60 drops / minute. When rabbits exhibit loss of corneal reflex and convulsions, a 2.5% sodium glutamate injection is immediately injected as a resuscitation medication. Blood samples are drawn at different stages of the hepatic encephalopathy process (early, middle, progressive, and recovery phases) to detect blood ammonia and various electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and calcium). This system records fluid volume, maintains constant pressure, is simple and easy to control, and fulfills different functions for infusion, blood collection, and therapeutic medication, effectively improving the success rate of experiments.
[0056] In one embodiment of this utility model, an arm 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the operating table 1, and a top 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the arm 11. A camera 13 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the top 12 at the center position. Using a high-definition camera 13, the experimental process can be simultaneously captured and displayed on a computer or projector. Recording the experimental operation process serves a recording function, not only demonstrating the experimental techniques to students but also facilitating their subsequent review.
[0057] In one embodiment of this invention, a lighting lamp 14 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the platform 12 and around the camera 13. This lighting system provides illumination for the experimental operation, allowing for clearer observation of the details of each step during the experiment.
[0058] In one embodiment of this invention, a display 15 is fixedly mounted on the side of the stage arm 11. The display 15 can be adjusted at any angle and position during the experiment to display experimental items and data.
[0059] In one embodiment of this invention, a tablet computer 16 is detachably connected to the side of the platform arm 11 and below the display 15. The tablet computer 16 is used for centralized control of the lighting system, breathing system parameter adjustment, and camera 13 magnification adjustment in the experimental equipment.
[0060] In one embodiment of this invention, 17 secondary displays are fixedly connected to one end of the operating table 1 near the table arm 11. The secondary displays 17 facilitate the experimental operator in viewing experimental data.
[0061] In one embodiment of this invention, a ventilator endotracheal interface 18 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the secondary display 17. This interface is used to input oxygen pressure for pressure control and regulation.
[0062] Of course, in actual use, the device of this application also requires the use of the BL-4231 biosignal acquisition and processing system. The BL-4231 biosignal acquisition and processing system can be installed on the stage arm 11. The output terminals of the tension transducer 25 and the pressure transducer 28 in this application are both connected to the input channels on the BL-4231 biosignal acquisition and processing system. Using the BL-4231 biosignal acquisition and processing system, changes in arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate during the course of hepatic encephalopathy in rabbits (early, middle, progressive, and recovery stages) can be scientifically recorded, laying a solid foundation for clinical medical practice and teaching. Among them, the camera 13, the lighting lamp 14, the monitor 15, the tablet computer 16, and the secondary monitor 17 are all electrically and / or network connected to the BL-4231 biosignal acquisition and processing system.
[0063] The BL-4231 biosignal acquisition and processing system adopts an integrated design principle of intelligence, informatization, integration, and networking. It integrates a centralized intelligent control subsystem, an information-based biosignal acquisition system, a ventilator, a rectal thermometer, a lighting system, oxygen humidification bottles, and other commonly used experimental equipment. It is a professional device capable of multi-channel biosignal acquisition, analysis, and processing. It can acquire electrical signals such as electrocardiograms, electromyograms, and action potentials from living organisms or isolated organs, as well as non-electrical signals such as pressure (e.g., arterial blood pressure, left ventricular pressure), and tension.
[0064] The overall operation process is as follows: First, turn on the tablet computer 16, turn on the light 14 and camera 13, and connect the output terminals of the tension transducer 25 and pressure transducer 28 to the input channels on the BL-4231 biosignal acquisition and processing system. Then, select "BL-4231 Biosignal Acquisition and Processing System" → Experimental Module → Pathophysiological Experiment → Rabbit Hepatic Encephalopathy → Understand the experimental principle, experimental content, and experimental method → Connect the pressure transducer (arterial blood pressure / channel 1 / infusion system / channel 2) and the tension transducer (respiratory rate / channel 3) at the same time → Start recording heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. At the same time, use the infusion system to collect blood during the rabbit hepatic encephalopathy process (early, middle, progressive, and recovery stages) for use in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader to detect and monitor changes in blood ammonia and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and calcium) and to input emergency medications.
