Objective:To establish rabbit models of hemophilic arthritis (HA) through injecting blood and iron dextran into articular cavity, and to monitor the changes of joint structures and evaluate the effect of modeling with ultrasound. Methods: A total of 25 New Zealand white rabbits were divided into Group A, B (each n=5) and C (n=15). In group A and group B, 1 ml rabbit arterial blood was injected into the articular cavity with a total of 36 times (3 times a week) in group A and 24 times (twice a week) in group B. In group C, 1 ml of iron dextran was injected into the articular cavity of rabbits, and then the rabbits were averagely divided into 4 weeks group (C1 group), 8 weeks group (C2 group) and 12 weeks group (C3 group). The changes of synovium and cartilage of the articular cavity were observed with ultrasound. Pathological examination was performed after modeling, and the pathological changes of articular cartilage and synovium were observed. Results: After modeling, the synovium in group A ([4.46±0.47]mm) and C ([4.08±0.44]mm) measured with ultrasound were both thicker than in group B ([2.43±0.39]mm, both P<0.05). In group A and B, the thickness and the grade of blood flow signal of synovial membrane increased gradually during modeling. In group C, the thickness and blood flow signal of synovial membrane increased gradually in the early stage of modeling but gradually thinned or weakened. At the end of modeling, damage of articular cartilage could be observed with ultrasound in group A and C. Synovial hyperplasia, infiltration of inflammatory cells and destruction of cartilage similar to HA were observed in each group under light microscope. The pathological changes in groups A and C1 were more significant than those in other groups. Conclusion: Rabbit models of HA could be established through injecting blood or iron dextran into the articular cavity, both could reflect the characteristic manifestations of HA via symptoms, ultrasonic and pathological features. Iron induced arthritis models had advantages of short modeling period, simple operation and easy to be monitored with ultrasound.

Objective: To establish the rat models of myocardial ischemia reperfusion-related no-reflow under non-artificial ventilator, to evaluate the models by morphology, hematological biochemistry and hemorheology, and to lay the foundation for studying the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and evaluating the pharmacodynamics of drugs of cardiovascular diseases. Methods: Fifty healthy female Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=20) and model group (n=30). The myocardial ischemia reperfusion-related no-reflow rat models in model group were induced by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery for 2 h and another 2 h for reperfusion. The rats in sham group were only threaded and not ligated. The model was evaluated by detecting the area at risk (AAR), area at infarct (AAD, area at no-reflow (AAN) of myocardium, the activities of creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum, the whole blood viscosity, the plasma viscosity, the platelet adhesion rate (PAR), the platelet aggregation (PAG) of the rats. Results: Compared with sham operation group, the AAR, AAI, and AAN of myocardium, the activities of CK-MB, LDH, and AST in serum, the whole blood low shear viscosity (20/s), the middle shear viscosity (60/s), the high shear viscosity (120/s), the plasma viscosity, PAR, PAG (1, 3, 5 min) and the maximum platelet aggregation rate (MAPG) of the rats in model group were significantly increased (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion: The rat model of myocardial ischemia reperfusion-related no-reflow under non-artificial ventilator is successfully established. This method is characterized by simple operation, decreased injury to animals, higher stability of model construction, shorter experimental cycle and less cost.

[Abstract] Objective To explore the regular pattern of the changes of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) of rat model in early (<48h) blast lung injury (BLI) and the correlation of such changes to the degree of lung injury. Methods The rat model of lung blast injury was established with reducing three-way pipe and fixed pressure pneumatic simulation device. Forty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group (C), 1h after blast (B1h), 6h after blast (B6h), 24h after blast (B24h) and 48h after blast (B48h) group. The data were collected of concentrations of VEGF and NRP-1 in serum and lung tissue. The degree of lung injury was estimated. Results The levels of NRP-1 increased in both serum and lung tissue (P<0.01) and the level of VEGF decreased in lung tissue (P<0.05) in control group than in B groups. The concentrations of NRP-1 in serum and lung tissue were highest, and of VEGF in lung tissue were lowest in the group B6h. The lung injury score was positively correlated with the levels of NRP-1 in lung tissue (r=0.429, P=0.014). In group B6h, the lung injury score was negatively correlated with the levels of VEGF in lung tissue (r=–0.769, P=0.013). In group B48h, both the lung injury score and the wet and dry ratios (W/D) of lung tissue were positively correlated with the concentrations of VEGF in serum (r=0.777, P=0.012 and r=0.687, P=0.030, respectively). Pulmonary interstitial vascular rupture, alveolar hemorrhage, alveolar epithelial cell and capillary injuries, and accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration were the basic pathological changes of BLI. Conclusion The levels of NRP-1 and VEGF in serum and lung tissue may vary with time and are correlated with the degree of lung injury in early BLI.

Objective The basic biological, echocardiography and gene sequencing parameters of mice overexpressing Slit2 gene (Slit2-Tg mice) were collected and evaluated, and to provide a reference for the application of Slit2-Tg mice in biomedical research. Methods Slit2-Tg and C57BL/6 J mice were inbred. The genotypes of the mice were determined by a PCR assay. The blood samples were collected for blood routine and biochemical tests. The tissues of main organs were collected for protein expression and pathological analysis. Echocardiography and transcriptome sequencing was carried out for analyzing the heart function and gene expression, respectively. Results The litter size was significantly higher in the Slit2-Tg mice than in C57BL/6 J mice. Human Slit2 gene and protein expressions were detected in the main organs of Slit2-Tg mice. Organ coefficient of spleen was significantly increased in Slit2-Tg mice, but the tissue structure appeared normal. There were significant changes in the counts of erythrocytes, platelets, eosinophils, and biochemistry of glucose, globulin, urea nitrogen, triglycerides, HDL, and atherosclerosis index. Echocardiography showed no significant differences in the morphology and function of the Slit2-Tg hearts except in the left ventricular anterior wall thickness at the end-diastolic state. Compared with the C57BL/6 J mice, 535 genes out of 17513 genes in the Slit2-Tg hearts were increased or decreased, mainly involving 15 biological process or signal transduction pathways. Conclusions This study has collected the biological parameters of Slit2-Tg mice and suggests that this model animal is suitable for the studies of cardiovascular diseases.

As a new model animal, zebrafish has been widely used in the research of the development and disease related to various organs, such as nervous, cardiovascular, digestive and hemopoietic system. Central nervous system ( CNS) disease is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. There is still lacking of effective therapeutic strategies to treat most of the CNS diseases, due to the low ability of self-regeneration and recovery of the neurons after injury. In recent years, zebrafish has been proved to be an ideal vertebrate model to study some of the CNS diseases because their genetic physiology and other features are closed and similar to humans. The application of zebrafish in CNS diseases has contributed largely on understanding the mechanisms and on the therapy of CNS diseases. This review summarizes the recent progress of the applications of zebrafish on the study of CNS diseases.

Therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation after spinal cord injury (SCI) are currently confronted with tremendous challenges in basic and clinical medicine.The pathological process of SCI starts with the primary injury process directly caused by a mechanical force and follows the secondary injury process caused by microcirculation disorders and inflammatory responses.In this review,we interpret the neurobiological mechanisms underlying SCI.Damage to descending motor pathways and ascending sensory pathways interrupt their feedback and/or feedforward control of movement planning and modulation.To some extent,it also affetcs the normal function of local neural circuits with partial plasticity and independence.The animal models for SCI include transection models,contusion and compression models,ischemia-reperfusion injury and chemical injury models.Basic and translational studies in SCI have achieved remarkable progress in various aspects,including the gene network regulation of axonal regeneration,cell implantation,biomaterials applications,neuronal protection,neurostimulation and functional rehabilitation training,applications of artificial intelligence and brain computer interface.Obviously,future trends in basic and translational studies in SCI research will be enhancement of interdisciplinary research,cutting-edge technology application for clinical rehabilitation,database sharing and data standardization.
