Validation study of the house shrew (Suncus murinus) as the laboratory model animal for cutaneous wound experiment.

本研究的目的是从形态学角度验证家鼩作为皮肤创伤实验的实验模型动物。其可动性是由于皮干肌肉的多层发育和皮下脂肪的缺乏所致。在躯干背侧，纵动脉束沿脊柱两侧排列。根据这些皮下结构的形态学特征，认为将蓖麻用于皮肤创面实验具有比较动物学价值。

The purpose of this study is to validate the house shrew (Suncus murinus) as laboratory model animal for cutaneous wound experiment from the morphological viewpoint. The movability of the suncus's skin is attributed to the multilayered development of cutaneous trunk muscles and the deficiency of subcutaneous adipose. In the dorsal trunk, the longitudinal arterial tracts lined bilaterally along the spinalcolumn. In accord with these morphological features of subcutaneous structure, the utilization of suncus for cutaneous wound experiment is considered to have comparative zoological value.
