ObjectiveRice-Vannucci model has been widely used as HIE (Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy) animal model in the past forty years, but it does not mimic reperfusion injury that occurs during HIE. The aim of the present study was to establish a new neonatal rat model by simulating hypoxia ischemia reperfusion brain damage (HIRBD) through "common carotid artery (CCA) muscle bridge". MethodsSixty 7-day-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to group A (HIRBD groups, n=36), group B (Rice-Vannucci group, n=12), and group C (sham-operated group, n=12). Rats in group A were assigned to 3 subgroups (A1-A3, 12 animals/subgroup). Dynamic changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) were evaluated by the laser speckle imaging system. The status of the CCA was observed under a stereomicroscope. Changes in body weight, gross morphology as well as pathological sections of brain tissue were examined to evaluate the feasibility of the model. ResultsThe results indicated that CCA muscle bridge successfully blocked the CBF. CBF was restored after removal of the CCA muscle bridge in HIRBD groups. The CCA was in good condition after removing the muscle bridge, and blood supply was not affected. Changes in body weight, gross morphology and pathological sections of brain tissue indicated that ischemia reperfusion induced by the CCA muscle bridge method caused varying degrees of brain damage. ConclusionCCA muscle bridge method is effective for establishing a reliable, stable, and reproducible neonatal rat model for study of HIRBD.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
