实验大鼠轻中型闭合性脑损伤昏迷指标与分级标准

目的为使实验室间的研究数据可比,特建立大鼠轻型和中型闭合性脑损伤分级的昏迷量化标准。方法利用自制金属单摆装置复制大鼠脑损伤动物模型,按照大鼠脑损伤后昏迷反应程度进行呼吸暂停时间,角膜反射、外耳道刺激反应、翻正反射及针刺疼痛反应消失后恢复时间的实际测量与评分,结合肉眼颅脑解剖检查进行验证,对前述指标的实测值和评分赋值数据进行多元判别回归分析,建立判别方程。结果应用实测值和评分值进行轻型脑损伤判别的概率分别是88.9%和91.9%。结论该标准是一个较理想实用的大鼠轻、中型脑损伤分级标准。

Coma criterion and classification standard of mild and moderate traumatic brain injury in rats

OBJECTIVE: To set up a classification standard of mild and moderate traumatic brain injury, for the purpose of reliable data comparison derived from different laboratories. METHODS: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rats was prepared by using a metallic pendulum-striker device. After injury, five variable parameters including the time of apnea and the areflexia, time of corneal reflex, external auditory canal stung reaction, body-righting reflex and needling reaction were determined and scored by using rat coma criterion. These data were judged and classified into mild and moderate head injury by brain patho-anatomy changes. Then the data were used to set up a multivariate discriminate equation. RESULTS: The distinguished probability of mild and moderate TBI according to actual direct measured value and the criterion were 88.9% and 91.9%, respectively. CONCLUSION: This method is able to classify mild and moderate TBI in rats.
