Background Identifying and testing of pain is very necessary for the care and decrease of the suffering of experimental animal in medical experiment.Effective method for testing the pain and distress status of experimental animal with eye disease is still absent in China.Objective This pilot study was to establish an evaluating system for assessing the pain and distress status of bullous keratopathy rabbit model.Methods This study was approved by the Ethic Committee of Beijing University First Hospital.Twelve healthy New Zealand rabbits were selected in this experiment.Bullous keratopathy model was established in the left eyes of 9 rabbits by scraping corneal endothelium as the experimental team,and other 3 rabbits were served as the control team.The cornea lesion was examined by manipulate slit lamp,and the central cornea thickness (CCT) was measured by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).Weight+20 Indexes For Pain and Distress Status Referring Guidelines for Pain and Distress in Laboratory Animals made by International Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) were assessed and measured as well.Results Corneal edema and opacity were obvious 1 day after surgery.Corneal bullous appeared from the third day after surgery,and cornea erosion was seen at the location of bullous breakage.The corneal lesions remained until 14 days after surgery.CCT value was (1468±100),(2313±588),(2391±271) and (2362±151) μm,respectively in day 1,3,7 and 14 after the establishment of models,which showed significant increase in comparison with the preoperative CCT (390±6)μm (all P=0.000).However,no significant difference was seen in the CCT between day 3,7 and 14 (P＞0.05).Body weight of the rabbits was (3.29±0.20),(3.20-0.17),(2.77±0.25) and (3.10±0.30)kg respectively in day 1,3,7 and 14 after operation,with significant decrease in comparison with the pre-operative weight (3.52-0.18)kg in the experimental team (P=0.008,0.007,0.003,0.004).The scores for pain and distress status of all rabbits in pre-operation of the experimental team and in the control team were zero,and the score was 7 (7,7),11 (10,12),9 (8,10),9 (9,9)in day 1,3,7 and 14 in the experimental team after surgery,with the highest score in day 3,which was bullous and bullous breakage duration.Seven of twenty indexes,including the reduce of diet and drinking,self-imposed isolation/hiding,grinding teeth,aggression,deceased movement,abnormal posture,vocalization occurred in the model animals after surgery.Conclusions Weight+20 Indexes For Pain and Distress Status is an effective,impersonal and quantitative method for observing and evaluating the pain and stress status in bullous keratopathy rabbit.

Objective In this study, we tested the ability of platelet-rich plasma to enhance bone consolidation during distraction osteogenesis in a rabbit model of leg lengthening. Methods Twenty New Zealand white rabbits, which were randomly divided into two groups, the PRP treated group and the control group (n=10). Osteotomy will be made under the tibiofibular junction of left tibia, and 1cm tibia shaft will be removed through a second osteotomy. The tibia will be shorted for 1cm and then fixed by Orthfix unilateral lengthener with 4 pins. Lengthening will start 7 days after the osteotomy surgery, at a rate of 1.0 mm/day, in two steps, for 10 days. 500ul PRP were respectively injected into the distraction gaps at the end of the 10-day lengthening and at 10 days before termination. No management in the control group. The animals were terminated at day 20 following final lengthening. Serial radiographs will be taken at the day of surgery, day 12, day 17, day 27, day 37, using a C-arm radiography system. The excised bone specimens were scanned by X-ray and Micro-CT, and the bone mineral content(BMC) and the bone mineral density(BMD) of the regenerates were calculated and compared. Results The regenerate of PRP treated group was significantly better than the control group. The X-ray figures showed that the regenerate was significantly more than the control group. The figures of micro-CT 3D reconstruction showed that the growth and remodel of the regenerate in PRP treated group was better than the control group. Micro-CT examination of regenerates demonstrated a significantly greater bone mineral content(BMC) and the bone mineral density(BMD) in the PRP treated group compared to the control group(P

Objective To explore the relationship between cough variant asthma (CVA) and mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection.Methods Fifty children with CVA were chosen as the experimental group at random,and 50 children with acute upper respiratory infection,who went to the hospital in the same time and with similar age,were chosen as control group.The MP-IgM of children in both groups were tested by the granule agglutinating method.Results Significant difference (? 2=9.013 P
