大鼠大脑中动脉闭塞（MCAO）可导致不同大小的梗死。我们研究了可能影响这种变异性的三个因素：动物体重、血管解剖结构和MCAO大鼠的闭塞程度。我们还开发了一个四点神经学评估量表，并通过与四级病理学确定的梗死面积进行比较来验证其有效性。在接受标准MCAO的82只动物中，34只发生了小的皮质梗死（病理学分级I-II;梗死面积25 mm 2，表面积的20-56%）。在83%的动物中，我们能够从神经学评估中预测梗死的大小，当I级和II级以及III级和IV级一起考虑时，准确率达到91%（P < 0.001）。在41只动物中，更广泛的血管闭塞，89%表现出大梗死。确定了四种血管模式，但没有一种在皮质卒中的发生率或大小中起重要作用。然而，体重300 g的大鼠。我们提出的新的MCAO技术似乎是有用的再现大面积梗死的额顶叶皮层。
MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY occlusion (MCAO) in rats produces an infarct of varying size. We examined three factors that may influence this variability: animal weight, vascular anatomy, and extent of occlusion in rats undergoing MCAO. We also developed a four-point neurological evaluation scale and validated its usefulness by comparing it with a four-grade pathological determination of the size of the infarct. Of 82 animals subjected to a standard MCAO, 34 developed small cortical infarcts (pathological grades I-II; infarct size 25 mm2, 20-56% of surface area). We were able to predict the size of infarction from the neurological evaluation in 83% of the animals, and this accuracy reached 91% when grades I and II and III and IV were considered together (P < 0.001). In 41 animals subjected to a more extensive vascular occlusion, 89% exhibited large infarcts. Four vascular patterns were identified but none played a significant role in the incidence or size of the cortical stroke. However, rats weighing 300 g. Our proposed new MCAO technique appears useful in reproducing large-sized infarcts of the frontoparietal cortex.
