Few animal models have been reported to evaluate and compare mechanical endovascular thrombectomy (MET) devices used to treat human ischemic stroke. These models may contribute to the understanding of arterial injury induced by a MET device and potentially by extrapolation to human intracranial arteries. We have developed a novel swine model for MET that allows visualization of the thrombus/device interaction and characterization of mechanical impact on the vessel wall. Twenty superficial femoral arteries were occluded with radiopaque thrombus, and 20 without thrombus were treated with thrombectomy devices. Acute histopathological changes were evaluated. The swine femoral artery, which is comparable in size to the human middle cerebral artery or basilar artery, may offer a useful animal model for the study of histologic alterations induced by MET.

Histological Changes

Abstract: Postmortem changes play an important role in estimation of the time of death. This study was aimed to obtain the histopathological changes of lungs at several time intervals postmortem. This was a descriptive observational study using a local pig as the animal model killed by stabbing in the heart. Lung samples were taken at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 75 minutes, 90 minutes, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours postmortem. The results showed that the earliest histological change could be identified at 60 minutes postmortem in the form of alveolar dilatation. At 2 hours postmortem, congestion of smooth muscle layers of bronchioles was observed. The epithelial cells of the alveoli were undetected at 3 hours postmortem meanwhile the smooth muscle layers were undetected at 12 hours postmortem. At 24 hours postmortem, the bronchioles were still detected but the structure of their layers could not be identified. Conclusion: Histopathological changes were observed as alveolar dilatation at 60 minutes postmortem, followed by congestion of muscle layers, and undetected epithelial alveolar cells as well as smooth muscle layers. At 24 hours postmortem, bronchioles were still detected but the structure of their layers could not be identified.Keywords: histological changes, lungs, postmorterm Abstrak: Perubahan postmortem berperan penting untuk memperkirakan waktu kematian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan perubahan histopatologik paru hewan coba postmortem pada beberapa interval waktu. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif-observasional menggunakan hewan coba satu ekor babi lokal yang dimatikan dengan tikaman pada jantung. Sampel paru diambil dalam waktu 15 menit, 30 menit, 45 menit, 60 menit, 75 menit, 90 menit, 2 jam, 3 jam, 4 jam, 5 jam, 6 jam, 12 jam dan 24 jam postmortem. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan pada 60 menit postmortem terjadi dilatasi alveoli. Pada 2 jam postmortem tampak kongesti lapisan otot polos. Pada 3 jam postmortem sel-sel epitel alveoli tidak tampak lagi dan pada 12 jam postmortem lapisan otot polos tidak terdeteksi. Pada 24 jam postmortem bronkiolus masih dapat dideteksi tetapi struktur lapisannya tidak teridentifikasi. Simpulan: Perubahan awal histopatologik paru babi postmotem ini dimulai pada 60 menit postmortem berupa dilatasi alveoli, diikuti kongesti lapisan otot polos, serta tidak terdeteksinya sel-sel epitel alveoli dan lapisan otot polos. Pada 24 jam postmortem bronkiolus masih terdeteksi tetapi struktur lapisannya tidak teridentifikasi lagi.Kata kunci: perubahan histologik, paru, postmortem

ABSTRACT Group A rotaviruses are major pathogens causing acute gastroenteritis in children and animals. To determine if group A rotavirus replicates and induces disease in rats, antibody-negative Lewis neonatal or adult rats were inoculated orally with tissue culture-adapted human (Wa, WI61, and HAL1166), simian (rhesus rotavirus [RRV] and SA11), bovine (WC3), lapine (ALA), or porcine (OSU) rotavirus strains, wild-type murine (ECwt) rotavirus strain, or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Rotavirus infection in rats was evaluated by (i) clinical findings, (ii) virus antigen shedding or infectious virus titers in the feces or intestinal contents measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or fluorescent-focus assay, (iii) histopathological changes in the small intestine, (iv) distribution of rotavirus antigen in small-intestine sections by immunofluorescence, and (v) growth rate. Rotavirus infection of 5-day-old but not ≥21-day-old rats resulted in diarrhea that lasted from 1 to 10 days postinoculation. The severity of disease and spread of infection to naÏve littermates differed depending on the virus strain used for inoculation. The duration of virus antigen shedding following infection was considerably prolonged (up to 10 days) in neonatal rats compared to that in 21-day-old rats (1 or 2 days). Based on lack of virus antigen shedding and disease induction, the murine ECwt rotavirus was the only strain tested that did not infect rats. Histopathological changes in the small-intestine mucosa of 5-day-old RRV-inoculated rats but not of PBS-inoculated rats was limited to extensive enterocyte vacuolation in the ileum. In RRV-inoculated neonatal rats, rotavirus antigen was detected in the epithelial cells on the upper half of the intestinal villi of the jejunum and ileum. In addition, infection of neonatal rats with RRV but not with PBS resulted in reduced weight gain. Rats infected with group A rotaviruses provide a new animal model with unique features amenable to investigate rotavirus pathogenesis and the molecular mechanisms of intestinal development, including physiological factors that may regulate age-dependent rotavirus-induced diarrhea.

TiO2 nanomaterials with different dimensions(zero and one), sizes(20nm, 50nm and 100nm in diameter) and crystal structures(100% rutile, 100% anatase and combination of 20% rutile and 80% anatase) were confected to suspensions and ointment with varied concentrations and evaluated in animal model (Balb-c mouse). These mouse were divided into various groups randomly, with suspension intraperitoneally injected or ointment transdermally daubed. Heart, lung, liver and kidney were collected and prepared to HE sample after one week. Spectrophotometry was applied to study total antioxide capability and catalase activity of blood and tissues. It has been shown that all TiO2 nanomaterial groups had no effect on lives’ morphology and oxidative stress, with no obvious histopathological changes observed in heart, lung, liver and kidney, and these tissues presented no vacuolar degeneration, necrosis edema, engorgement and inflammation.
