在脑缺血及脑缺血-再灌注损伤的研究中,小鼠的可逆性大脑中动脉阻塞(middle cerebral artery occlusion,MCAO)模型应用广泛。除了测量脑梗死体积外,神经功能缺损的行为学评价也是判定脑缺血严重程度的重要指标。其评价指标大多移植于大鼠的评价体系,方法较多,没有统一的评价标准,本文对小鼠脑缺血后神经功能损伤的行为学评价方法及各自的优缺点及侧重点做一综述。
The mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) is applied in the research of cerebral ischemia and reperfusion widely. In addition to measuring infarction volume, behavioral evaluation of functional neurological deficit is also an important indicator in estimating the severity of stroke. Existing tests are mostly transplanted from rat evaluation system. There are many different tests being used, and no unified standard. This review describes the advantage and disadvantage of most commonly used behavior tests in mouse model of ischemia.
