Abstract:
Objective To develop a reliable and reproducible model of ischemic stroke .Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups:three-vessel occlusion (3VO, 15-min temporary occlusion of the bi-lateral common carotid arteries superimposed on a permanent occlusion of the right distal middle cerebral artery , n=20 ) , suture MCAO control ( n=20 ) , and sham-operated group ( n=10 ) .At 24 h functional outcome was as-sessed using corner test , cerebral ischemic lesion was determined by TTC staining ( n=10 ) , and then the surviral rate was measured till day 7 (n=10).Results The 3VO group got significantly lower neurological deficit score as compared to sham-operated group ( -0.7 vs -0.04 , P<0.01 ) .Infarct volume of mice in 3 VO group was 17.6%±1.6%, while 42.6%±15.0%in MCAO group ( n=10 ) .The 3 VO group got a significantly increased 7-day survival rate compared to suture MCAO group (90%vs 60%, n=10).Conclusions The present three-ves-sel occlusion model is stable and reliable for research on ischemic stroke .
