Description

System and method for in vivo observation of capillary blood vessels in animal bone
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical imaging, and particularly relates to a system for observing capillary vessels in animal bones in vivo and a corresponding method.
Background
The vascular endothelial cells are monolayer cells distributed on the inner wall of the blood vessel, and have rich heterogeneity and organ specificity. Through the dense branching of capillaries, the vascular endothelium establishes a link with almost all cells within the respective organ. The vascular endothelial cells not only serve as a pipeline system to transport nutrients and take away metabolic wastes, but also play an important role in growth, development and steady maintenance of each organ by secreting vascular secretion factors. The capillary vessels in different organs have different shapes, and the shapes of the capillary vessels in different positions and functions in the same organ are different, which reflects the characteristics of different subtypes of endothelial cells. With age or disease, its morphology changes, and its homeostatic maintenance of organs changes accordingly. Thus, observing the morphology of the capillary vessels can provide status information of the respective organs.
The observation of capillary vessel form has two modes of in vitro and in vivo, and because the capillary vessel position in the bone is deeper, the prior art mainly takes in vitro observation as the main point at present. For example, the bone is cut into slices of 30 to 300 microns after the bone is decalcified ex vivo, and the morphology is observed by an optical microscope or a confocal microscope after the capillary vessels are specifically stained by fluorescence. For example, the blood capillary is imaged by subjecting an isolated bone to chemical treatment and then to transparentization, then subjecting the blood vessel to specific fluorescent staining and then to a fluorescence microscope with selective surface illumination, and then to digital processing at a later stage. The existing technology for observing the shape of capillary vessels in bones in vitro limits the application range of the technology, and an in-vivo observation method needs to be explored in order to obtain richer real-time observation results.
