DESCRIPTION
Novel Evaluation Method for Rat Hind Limb Venous Ulcers Model
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention belongs to the field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a novel evaluation method for a rat hind limb venous ulcers model.
BACKGROUND
Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are open skin ulcer lesions in areas affected by venous hypertension of lower limbs, which are often secondary to the the later stages of deep venous thrombosis and varicose veins of lower limbs, accounting for 80% of the ulcer lesions of lower limbs. The disease has a long course, is difficult to heal and is easy to recur. With the progress of the disease, VLUs patients will have serious complications such as infection and canceration, which greatly affects their normal work and life. Therefore, VLUs has become a difficult and hot spot in the research of surgical wound healing. Constructing a stable, feasible and repeatable animal model 1s the basis and premise for the study of pathogenesis and innovative treatment of VLUs.
At present, there are few studies on the construction of VLUs animal model. Wang Xi and others made venous ulcer model by combining the lower limbs deep venous thrombosis (DVT) model with the local skin defect model, and made iliac vein thrombosis model by the method of clamping the injury with the mosquito clamp+clamping the iliac vein with the vascular clamp for 24 h. Through hemorheology and D-dimer detection, it was confirmed that rats were in high coagulation and high fibrinolysis state; the increase of concentrations of serum interleukin (IL) 1P, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a confirmed the existence of inflammatory reaction in this model, which proved the successful establishment of the venous leg ulcers rat model.
However, the existing evaluation technology has obvious defects. The pathology of venous ulcer changed into distal venous hypertension caused by venous reflux disorder, and white blood cells adhered to the blood vessel wall, thus inducing local inflammatory reaction and causing venous ulcers. The above model evaluation method only confirms the existence of high coagulation and inflammation states in rats, but can't directly confirm the similarity between the modeling method and the pathological process of venous ulcers. The experimental rats have vascular clamps in vivo, and the vascular clamps are partially exposed in vitro, which
? LU5046 79 aggravates the inflammatory reaction of animals in model, and it is impossible to distinguish whether the increase of inflammatory indexes is caused by thrombosis or infecting wound. In a word, the construction system of VLUs animal model is not mature, and new modeling methods need to be explored continuously.
SUMMARY
The present application provides an evaluation method for a hind limb venous ulcers rat model, and the ultrasound images, histopathological detection, blood detection, wound micro- morphology observation and macroscopic healing situation are used for evaluation.
Further, the ultrasonic image is to directly observe that thrombosis and the obstruction situation of blood flow backflow in the iliac vein in the model rats.
Further, the histopathological detection is to judge the existence of the adhesion and activation situation of leukocytes in blood vessels through the levels of P-selectin and ICAM- 1 in blood vessels.
Further, the blood detection is to judge the existence of body inflammatory reaction situation in the model rats through the IL-6 and TNF-a levels detection in blood.
Further, the wound micro-morphology observation is to judge the existence of microscopic pathological tissue changes situation in the model rats through pathological observation under the wound microscope.
Further, and the macroscopic healing situation is to judge the existence of the venous ulcer outcome in the model rats through the wound healing situation.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
According to the invention, it is directly confirmed that the present animal model can simulate the whole pathological process of human venous ulcer through the ultrasound images, histopathological detection, blood detection, wound micro-morphology observation and macroscopic healing situation. Through the ultrasonic observation, it is directly confirmed the existence of thrombosis and the obstruction situation of blood flow backflow in the iliac vein in the model rats; through the levels of P-selectin and ICAM-1 in blood vessels, it is proved the existence of the adhesion and activation situation of leukocytes in blood vessels; through the blood IL-6 and TNF-a levels detection, it is confirmed the existence of body inflammatory reaction in the model rats; through the pathological observation under the wound microscope, it is confirmed the existence of microscopic pathological tissue changes situation in the model rats; through the wound healing situation, it is confirmed the existence of venous ulcer outcome in the model rats.

Embodiment 1 Preparation of DVT model
Forty rats after adaptive feeding for one week were randomly divided into model group (n=15), control group (n=15) and blank group (n=10).
The experimental rats were anesthetized by abdominal cavity by using the pentobarbital sodium solution with a concentration of 0.3% and at a dose of 1mL/100g, and the depth of anesthesia was checked every 10 min, when necessary, the rats were given additional anesthesia.
After full anesthesia, the hair on the ventral root of the left thigh of the rat was removed with an electric shaver, and the rat was taken to a sterile operating table at the supine position, the limbs were abduction-fixed, medical iodophor was used for disinfection, and a sterile hole towel was laid to expose the inner visual field of the left groin of the rat. An incision with a length of 2.0 cm~2.5 cm was made in the middle of the visual field with an ophthalmic scissors, and then the subcutaneous tissue was bluntedly separated, and common iliac vein was exposed and separated. See Fig. 1. The proximal ends, the branches and the distal ends of the left common iliac vein in the model group were ligated with 3-0 surgical silk thread in turn. After ligation, the blood vessels at the ligation site became congested and thickened. Common iliac vein of rats in the control group was separated without ligation, and the blank group was not treated.
After the surrounding tissues were reset, the muscularis and skin were sutured continuously with silk thread, and the incision was disinfected with iodophor. Rats were raised in a single cage, and the abdominal incision was disinfected with iodophor once a day.
Embodiment 2 Preparation of local skin wound model
Seven days after the successful preparation of DVT model, the above anesthesia steps
) LU504679 were repeated, and the rats were placed in a sterile operation table at the prone position, and the long hair on the back of the left hind limb of the rats was removed, and the short fluff was removed with depilatory cream to form a hairless area with a diameter of about 4 cm, so as to ensure that the skin of the rats was intact and undamaged. A circular mark was printed with a circular stamp with a diameter of 2 cm, routine disinfection was performed, and a sterile hole towel was laid; on the basis of keeping the skin tight, the full-thickness skin was removed to the deep fascia according to the mark range, resulting in a local skin wound. See Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. After hemostasis and disinfection, the wound was wrapped with sterile gauze and fixed with medical paper tape. The wound was disinfected routinely every day and observed for 10 days.
Embodiment 3 General state
During the experiment, the hair, weight and mental state of rats in each group were observed in a quiet environment, and the swelling degree of left hind limbs of rats were observed after the preparation of DVT model. The changes of blood vessels and blood flow in the left hind limbs were observed by color Doppler ultrasonic diagnostic instrument before, immediately after and on the 7 th day after DVT model preparation.
Embodiment 4 Wound index
The changes of rat wounds were observed every day, and the wounds situation of rats were recorded on the Sth and 10th day after the preparation of VLUs model. Calculation method of wound area: the wound is shot by camera, ensuring the vertical distance between the camera and the wound and the focal length of the camera to be constant, and at the same time a ruler is placed next to the wound as a reference. The clearest picture was selected and the wound area was calculated with Image J medical image analysis software. Each wound was measured three times, and the average value was taken as the final wound area and the wound healing rate was calculated. Wound healing rate (%)=[(initial wound area-observation time point wound area)/initial wound area ]x 100%.
Embodiment 5 Observation on general state of rats in each group
No rats died during the experiment, and the success rate of estabilishment of model was 100%. The mental state of 40 rats was good, their activities were normal, and their weight increased steadily. There was no significant difference among the groups. All the rats in the model group showed swelling of the left hind limb and dark purple skin at 2 h after operation, but there was no significant difference between the two hind limbs in the control group. See
Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.
