Objective To establish and evaluate three different necrotizing enterocolitis models,established by combination of formula feeding, hypoxia and cold exposure, hypoxia-reoxygenation, and intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in premature rats. Methods Group A was given formula feeding, hypoxia by exposing to 100% N2 for 90 s and 4 ℃ cold stress for 10 minutes, the hypoxia and cold stress were given twice a day for 2 d. Group B was put into 100% N2 for 5 min and then 100% O2for 5 min, twice a day for 3 d. Group C was injected intraperitoneally 5 mg/kg LPS. Group D, E and F were served as the corresponding controls for group A, B and C. Ileocecal junction, liver, kidney and lung tissues were harvested and evaluated by HE staining for histological analysis, histological changes of ileal tissues were scored, and rats with score higher than two were diagnosed with NEC. Results Premature rats in group A, B and C showed various degrees of decreasing activity, abdominal distention, diarrhea,intestinal dilatation and congestion. Histological score in group A to F were 3. 13 ± 0. 64, 1.40 ±0. 52,2. 00±0. 42,0. 30±0. 48, 0. 30±0. 48 and 0. 40±0. 52, respectively. There were significant differences between model groups and their corresponding control groups (P<0. 01 ). Among the model groups, the histological score of group A was higher than group B (P<0.01) and group C (P<0.05). The incidences of NEC in group A, B and C were 6/8, 20% (5/10) and 4/8, respectively, while of zero in all control groups. Liver, kidney and lung injures were more serious in group C compared with the other groups.Conclusions Compared with the single-factor modeling approaches of intraperitoneal injection of LPS and hypoxiareoxygenation, the NEC animal model in preterm rats established by formula feeding, repeated hypoxia and cold exposure, is more similar to the etiological factors of neonatal NEC in human, with higher incidence, better reproducibility and specificity.
