概要 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Although mice, rats, and other small animals are commonly used for molecular biology research, their use in the evaluation of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage is somewhat problematic because of the correspondingly small size of their cerebral vessels. We have already reported that the corrosion cast technique was useful for evaluating newly formed cerebral vessels in neural grafts in these small animals. In the present study we applied the corrosion cast technique to the evaluation of hemolysate-induced cerebral vasospasm in rats and performed three-dimensional analysis for comparison. The casting was done 10 minutes after the hemolysate injection, so that only acute "vasospasm" was assessed.
METHODS:After withdrawal of 0.1 mL cerebrospinal fluid, 0.2 mL hemolysate (n = 9) or saline (n = 10) was injected into the cisterna magna of male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing between 300 and 350 g. Ten minutes later, perfusion of a semipolymerized casting medium was performed at an injection pressure of 100 to 120 mm Hg. The brains were immersed and corroded in 10% NaOH solution. After these procedures, the basilar artery as well as peripheral vessels was analyzed morphologically with scanning electron microscopy. Conventional histological analysis with the use of paraffin-embedded section with hematoxylin-eosin staining was also performed, and the results were compared with those for the corrosion cast methods.
