The experimental models of chronic hepatic lesion of 40 rabbits were made by intra-abdominal injection of thioacetamide.The chronic hepatic lesion was confirmed by pathological examination and hepatectomies were performed in accordance with different measurements on each rabbit.The observations included indocyanine green retention rate,hepatic resection volume,and the outcomes of operations.The results showed that the mortality was correlative with the change of hepatic functions in the background of chronic hepatic lesion.The indocyanine green retention and the level of serum albumin are important parameters to indicate hepatic impairment.When the former was over 40% or the latter below 2.8g% the operative danger was high and the mortality was over 50%.In accordance with the classification of hepatic function,the preoperative functional state of liver were classified:grade A,B and C.the mortality of posthepatectomy were respectively 16.7%,3O%,and 72%.The multiple progressive regression equation is employed for calculating the postoperative outcome.The equation predicted the postoperative outcome with 88.9% accuracy.
【Abstract】 Objective To establ ish a stable animal model for glucocorticoid-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head in rabbits. Methods Thirty-six adult New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups:ten were injected twice with l i popolysaccharide (group A), ten were treated with a combination of l i popolysaccharideand methylprednisolone (group B), ten were injected three times with methylprednisolone (group C), and six wereinjected normal sal ine as a control (group D). MR imaging was performed in the rabbits before the first injection ofl i popolysaccharide or methylprednisolone, and at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after the last injection of l i popolysaccharide ormethylprednisolone. Histopathological changes in the femoral heads were observed by l ight microscope and transmission electron microscope at the end of six weeks after the injection. Vascular infusion with Chinese ink was made to evaluate the morphological changes of blood vessels in the femoral head. The percentage of trabecular bone area and empty lacunae and microvascular density were measured. According to the histological and MR imaging appearance of the femoral heads in all groups, the incidence of osteonecrosis of every group was calculated. Results Listlessness, blepharal hyperemia,less activity and reduced diet were found in the rabbits of groups A and B after injected with l ipopolysaccharide. At 3 weeks after the final injection, the body weight of groups B and C was decreased. At 4 weeks after the final injection, the body weight of groups A and D was increased. No abnormal signal could be detected on MR images in rabbits of all groupsbefore injection and at 2 weeks after the injection. At 4 weeks and 6 weeks after the last injection, irregular low signal on T1-weighted images and irregular low or high signal on T2-weighted images could be detected on MR images in rabbits of groups B and C, no abnormal signal could be detected on MR images in rabbits of groups A and D. At 6 weeks after the last injection,the trabecular bone of group B became thin and sparse, some were broken. The percentages of empty lacunae were 11.8% ± 4.7%, 34.4% ± 6.2%, 20.0% ± 4.7% and 9.3% ± 4.6%; the percentages of trabecular bone area were 59.2% ± 6.8%, 40.1% ± 6.0%, 51.5% ± 5.6% and 63.2% ± 8.3%; and the microvascular densities were 14.3% ± 2.7%, 4.5% ± 2.1%, 10.2% ± 3.1% and 15.4% ± 4.1% in groups A, B, C and D respectively. There were statistically significant differences between group B and groups A, C, D (P lt;0.01). The fatty tamponade accumulated in the medullary cavity and intramedullary vascular sinusoids were pressed by the l ipocytes and became narrow. Limposomes were found in osteocytes and vascular endothel ia of group B and group C. Osteocytes of group B crimpled and pyknosis or karyolysis of chromatin were observed in these osteocytes, nuclearmembrane of the osteocytes was discontinous. Vascular endothel ia became swollen and the cell junctions widened or were destroyed in groups A and B. The incidence of osteonecrosis in group B (88.9%) was higher than that in group C (22.2%, P lt; 0.05). There was no osteonecrosis occurred in groups A and D . Conclusion Methylprednisolone combined with l ipopolysaccharide can induce typical rabbit model for early avascular necrosis of femoral head.
【Abstract】 Objective To establ ish a animal model of osteonecrosis of femoral head in canine l ike human.Methods The thermal field of canine’s femoral head was three-dimensionally analyzed with fluent 6.2 software so that the best cryosurgery patent could be designed to maximize the osteonecrosis and minimize extra surgery trauma with the cryosurgery system invented by Shanghai Jiaotong University. Liquid nitrogen was pressurized to 0.5 MPa, poured into femoral head for 6.5 minutes, rewarming to 2 for 5 minutes and then repoured into it again for another 6.5 minutes. Ten three-foot canines were conducted as the animal models of osteonecrosis of femoral head according to the method above. At the end of followup,the results were reviewed by radiologic and pathologic check. Two dogs were conducted as control group. Results In the experimental group, one of the ten canines was testified to occur osteonecrosis of femoral head after one week pathologically, cell death and vessel breakage of cavitas medullaris in the femoral head was obvious under microscope; in other nine canines beingstill under follow-up, five with three-month follow-up at least progressed to the collapse of femoral head l ike human (Ficat III). In control group, no osteonecrosis was found. Conclusion Cryosurgery for osteonecrosis of the femoral head in three-foot canine model may become a method to establ ish the animal model of osteonecrosis of femoral head l ike human.
To establ ish a simple and stable cervical ectopic renal transplantation rat model that increase surgical successful rate. Methods A total of 208 male inbred Wistar rats (weighing 220-260 g) were randomly served as donors and recipients. The graft consisting of kidney, renal vein (RV) and renal artery (RA) was obtained, and perfused in situ. The donor RA was end-to-end anastomosed to the recipient left common carotid artery (CCA) by using of “sleeve” anastomosis,and the donor RV to the recipient right external jugular vein by using of “cuff” technique. The distal end of the ureter wasbrought out to form cervical cutaneous stomas. Results A total of 104 ectopic renal transplantations were performed in rats, including stages of the pre-experiment (62 operations) and experiment (42 operations). The success rates of the two stages were 80.6% and 95.2%, respectively. The causes of failure in the pre-experimental stage were anesthesia accidents, thrombosis of the arterial anastomosis, massive hemorrhage, air embol ism and phlebemphraxis. In the experimental stage, 2 rats died due to late anastomotic hemorrhage and thrombosis. The remaining 40 transplanted kidney survived more than 6 months. The time for surgery was (40 ± 6) minutes, the average time for donor surgery was (20 ± 5) minutes, the preparation time for the graft was (8 ± 2) minutes, the operative time for the recipient was (18 ± 3) minutes, including the time for the arterial anastomosis (5 ± 2) minutes and venous anastomosis (2 ± 1) minutes, the cold ischemia time of graft was (15 ± 3) minutes. Conclusion The cervical ectopic renal transplantation technique has the advantages of easy-and fast-to-perform, shorter operation and cold ischemia time, higher successful rate.
Objective To establish an effective model of myocardial infarction in black goat so as to provide a safe, convenient and credible model of myocardial infarction for treatment and research. Methods Sixteen black goats were made chronic myocardial infarction by ligation of far end of left anterior descending coronary artery through incision below xiphoidprocess. Electrocardiogram(ECG) and serum myocardial enzymes were investigated before and after occlusion. Echocardiographic measurements were performed, and left coronary artery angiography was performed with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) before infarction and 6 weeks after infarction. The myocardial ultrastructure were observed. Results All goats survived more than 6 weeks. ECG showed ambulatory change, ST-segment elevated half an hour after occlusion and pathologic Q waves 6 weeks after infarction, CK-MB significantly increased. Echocardiographic indexes showed significant decrease of maximal peak A, percent wall thickening(WHT) and ejecting fraction (EF), increase ofend-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic volume (EDV), and dilation of left ventricle. DSA showed block or decrease of perfusion of far end of left anterior descending coronary artery. Conclusion It is safe, convenient and credible to establish model of myocardial infarction by ligation of far end of left anterior descending coronary artery through incision below xiphoidprocess in black goat.
