Reconstructing Renal Injury Model Induced by Intrauterine Asphyxia in Newborn Rats / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a newborn animal model of renal injury caused by intrauterine asphyxia and explore the mechanism of renal injury in neonate after asphyxia.Methods After two-horn uterus and vessels supplying uterus and ovary were exposed in 21-day-pregnant Wistar rats,arterial clamp occluded one side of vessels.The occluding time were 10 and 30 minutes.Then arterial clamp was taken off,and reperfusion for 30 minutes,2,6,12 and 24 hours respectively.Reaching prescribed time uterus horn was opened rapidly and pups were removed.The pups sacrificed by decapitation.Kidneys were taken out and studied by HE staining and electron microscope.Results Kidney of fetal rats in 21 gestational age was developmental and mature degree of tubules dropped behind that of glomerule.Changes of proximal tubules were early and serious compared with distal tubules during ischemia and reperfusion stages.Conclusion Ischemia and reperfusion to graded pregnant rat can supply an ideal model to study injury of kidney and other organs(intraute)-rously.
