ABSTRACT
Objective:
To establish Candida albicans vaginitis in mice and explore the best modeling conditions to provide an economical and practical animal model of Candida albicans vaginitis.Methods:
After given estradiol valerate respectively at low, medium and high dose (0.001 5, 0.015, 0.15 mg/10 g) by gavage for continual 7 days, Kunming female mice were inoculated Candida albicans to establish the vaginitis model.The amount of Candida albicans in vaginal lavage fluid was analyzed and the vaginal pathological changes were observed.Results:
The colony count in vaginal lavage with estradiol valerate at low, medium and high dose was 124.67±19.01, 217.67±22.50 and 282.00±27.87, respectively, and compared with that in the high dose group, there were significant differences in the medium dose group and low dose group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).HE staining and PAS staining showed that the high dose group had more polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) infiltration and purple red line hypha.Conclusion:
Estradiol valerate at high dose is the best modeling condition for Candida albicans vaginitis in mice.
