The present invention relates to a method for constructing an
optic nerve injury model of a tropical clawed frog, a model and an application method thereof, wherein the modeling is implemented as follows: under
microscopic observation,
laser is used to damage the
retrobulbar optic nerve of an anesthetized
juvenile tropical clawed frog, thereby obtaining a tropical clawed frog
optic nerve injury model; the method of using
laser to damage the
retrobulbar optic nerve of an anesthetized
juvenile tropical clawed frog to obtain the tropical clawed frog
optic nerve injury model, which is first of its kind in China and abroad, has the following advantages: the tropical clawed frog's body is transparent when young, and the
laser can be directly observed, accurately focused, and quantitatively damaged; this
optic nerve injury modeling method is accurate, controllable, has a high success rate, and has a low
mortality rate; the tropical clawed frog's
genome is highly homologous to the human
genome, and its eyeball,
retina, optic nerve, visual pathway tissue structure, and visual information
conduction pathway are highly similar to those of humans; the tropical clawed frog's optic nerve is regenerative, which is conducive to the study of regeneration and repair mechanisms after injury, and opens up new approaches and methods for optic nerve protection research.
