Abstract:
ObjectiveTo establish an animal model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rat and to observe the changes in behavior, brain edema and tissue structure during absorption of the hematoma.MethodsAn animal model of ICH was established by stereotactically infusing 100 μl (the first time 20 μl, the second time 40 μl, the third time 40 μl) of autologous caudal artery blood into caudate nucleus in the rats. The behavior of rats with ICH was assessed by Bederson score, beam-walking test, bilateral forepaws grasp and measurement of forelimb placing. The brain edema and the change in histology were observed.ResultsThe successful ratio of this model was 75%. There were significant behavioral changes and brain edema at 6 h after the ICH in rats of the experimental group compared to those of the control group. The worse behavioral changes and brain edema was at 48～72 h after hemorrhage. In the earlier period, the nerve cells were swelling. A lot of glial cells appeared around the hematoma in the late period.ConclusionThis ICH model is reproducible, and the obvious behavioral change and histological changes are similar to clinical patient with ICH.
