Description
本发明涉及一种脊髓成像技术领域,尤其涉及一种基于荧光显微镜的自由活动的脊髓成像方法、装置及应用。
脊髓是中枢神经系统的重要组成结构之一。脊髓作为连接大脑与周围神经系统的桥梁,传送与外周之间的神经信息以协调生命体正常活动,在躯体感觉和运动过程中发挥重要作用。微型化活体成像方法的应用使脑成像领域的相关研究取得了突破性进展,但中枢神经系统的另一关键结构—脊髓的活体成像研究仍难以实现。这是因为小鼠自身呼吸、心跳以及运动引起的脊髓组织无规则运动范围较大,导致脊髓成像时对脊髓组织固定困难。加之双光子显微镜成像速度和光学薄片有限,导致小鼠在体脊髓成像时出现焦面漂移、图像扭曲或丢失等问题。目前,已报道的关于脊髓光学成像的研究对象多为麻醉动物,鲜有清醒的自由活动状态的动物。所以脊髓这一重要的神经结构在真实环境下如何编码大脑下行指令和外周输入信号尚不清楚。建立一套在自由活动状态下的动物活体脊髓成像方法,是进一步探索脊髓在神经系统中重要功能的关键途径之一。
目前,自由活动状态下的动物活体脊髓成像仍止步于单光子显微成像。相较而言,双光子显微成像不仅解决了标记密集的组织中信号密集导致无法分辨甚至无法聚焦等问题,显著提高了图像比度和在生物体组织内的穿透深度,而且能够实现亚细胞的形态结构高清晰成像。2017年,程和平团队自主研发的微 型化双光子荧光显微镜打破了仪器对动物成像研究的限制,能够在动物自由活动过程中实现快速的组织或细胞双光子活体成像。目前,高分辨率微型化双光子荧光显微镜的应用,使国内外自由活动动物在体成像领域的相关研究取得了突破性进展,也为实现在小鼠自由活动状态下的脊髓双光子成像带来了契机。
但是,脊髓结构的特异性带来的诸多问题,是实现自由活动的动物脊髓成像的一大阻碍。其中,脊髓结构复杂、脊髓组织运动幅度较大且不规则、长期成像不稳定以及微型化显微镜稳定植入困难等,导致脊髓活体成像研究面临一系列挑战。
目前主流的脊髓成像技术和方法是通过麻醉来实现成像,例如,申请公布号为CN202110686690.0的中国专利《一种动物脊髓活体成像的固定观察装置及其使用方法》中,介绍了一种动物脊神经活体成像的固定观察装置及其使用方法,它涉及医疗器械技术领域。它包括:基座、固定装置和观察装置;所述基座包括:用于供动物放置的底座,以及,固定设置于所述底座上的支撑件;所述固定装置包括:一端可拆卸地固定-在所述在支撑件上端的固定杆,以及,设置于所述固定杆另一端上的、用于固定动物脊柱椎体的夹持件;所述观察装置包括:固定在所述夹持件上的观察框,以及,设置于所述观察框上的观察窗。采用上述技术方案,具有固定效果好,可长时程观察,且避免多次手术的优势。
可是,上述提到的技术主要针对于麻醉状态下的活体成像,无法实现长期的脊髓活体成像,只能进行脊髓的急性期成像,在长期成像中会由于脊髓感染而失败;而且,目前的脊髓成像适合麻醉成像,在麻醉条件下,由于心跳和呼吸导致的脊髓的组织位移很小,不影响活体成像,但在清醒的动物中,由于剧烈的脊髓组织位移,导致幅度较大的运动伪影,最终导致成像失败。
一种能够实现无束缚环境中对自由活动的动物脊髓长期的双光子成像方法急待研发。

为了解决现有技术的问题,本发明以小鼠作为实验目标,进行以下实施例,对本发明进行进一步的说明:
具体实施例I:
本发明提供一种实施例:如图1~4,一种基于荧光显微镜的自由活动的脊髓成像方法,包括:取活体动物,通过脊髓手术暴露待成像位置的脊椎,并对所述脊椎表面进行清理;固定所述脊椎;暴露所述脊椎位置的中央前动脉血管和脊髓白质,形成暴露的脊髓腔,并封闭所述暴露的脊髓腔,在保证脊髓完整的情况下,使所述脊髓产生形变;利用双光子荧光显微镜对所述脊椎位置进行脊髓成像。
具体步骤如下:
步骤一:通过脊髓手术暴露出小鼠腰段3~6节段脊柱后,清理干净脊柱骨头表面附着的组织后,借助固定块1,稳定嵌入脊椎骨突下方位置;为了尽可能的减少运动伪影,将完整的横突置于两侧的固定块的上方,调整固定块1直至基本消除椎骨的抖动;
步骤二:采用颅骨钻打磨脊椎板,暴露出中央前动脉血管和周围脊髓白质, 采用无菌生理盐水清理干净脊髓表面后,之后采用硅胶和盖玻片3封闭暴露的脊髓腔;
步骤三:由于脊髓在运动时存在大幅度的抖动,通过盖玻片3压迫脊髓,在保证脊髓完整的情况下,使其产生形变,进一步减少运动伪影;
步骤四:将微型双光子显微镜,如荧光显微镜5,稳定的安装在固定件6上,整个装置的部件足够小,足够轻,方便老鼠携带;
优选的,采用3-7mm的玻璃的盖玻片3压迫所述脊髓,在保证所述脊髓完整的情况下,使所述脊髓产生形变。
具体实施例II:
本发明还提供一种实施例:一种基于荧光显微镜的自由活动的脊髓成像装置,包括:一对固定块1、盖玻片3、硅胶层4、荧光显微镜5以及固定件6;其中,一对固定块1相对设置,用于从两侧夹持固定暴露的脊椎2;盖玻片3设置在所述固定块1远离所述脊椎2的一侧,用于封闭所述脊椎的脊髓腔并在保证脊髓完整的情况下,使所述脊髓产生形变;硅胶层4设置在所述固定块1与所述盖玻片3之间,用于连接所述固定块1与所述盖玻片3;荧光显微镜5设置在所述盖玻片3上方,用于观测产生形变的所述脊髓;固定件6设置在所述盖玻片3上方,用于连接荧光显微镜;所述固定件6上设置有观察窗5A,用于便于所述荧光显微镜5观察变形的所述脊髓。
为了方便夹持,所述固定块1上设置有朝向所述脊椎2的开槽2A,用于固定所述脊椎2;开槽2A可选择多种结构,优选的,如附图1的V字形,通过两个成对的开槽2A能够稳定的夹持脊椎2。
在植入固定块1和放入硅胶的过程中,容易渗液,为了便于渗液流出,所述开槽2A的侧壁上设置有用于流出渗液的引流槽2B;引流槽2B的一端与固定 块1的开槽2A的缺口端连通;另一端设置在开槽2A的底部;固定块1上还设置有用于与盖玻片3匹配的缺口2C。
具体实施例III:
本发明提供一种实施例:一种基于荧光显微镜的自由活动小鼠的脊髓成像装置,包括:如具体实施例I所述的脊髓成像装置、固定仪7;其中,固定仪7,所述脊髓成像装置匹配,用于调整所述脊髓成像的装置中的固定块1的位置以夹持待观测脊椎;所述固定块1远离所述观测脊椎的一端设置有盲孔1B;固定仪中的调整杆701的端部与所述盲孔1B对应,用于控制所述固定块1的移动方向。
具体的,所述固定仪1,包括:调整杆701、锁紧螺栓702、底座703、相对设置的两个立柱704、杆套705;其中,立柱704垂直设置在所述底座703上;杆套705设置在所述立柱704的周向上且所述杆套705的轴线与所述立柱704的轴线垂直;调整杆701设置在所述杆套705内,操作人员可以推拉调整杆701调整固定块的位置;锁紧螺栓702设置在所述杆套705上,用于固定所述调整杆701;所述调整杆701与所述盲孔1B对应,用于对所述固定块的移动导向。
具体实施例IV:
如图7,本发明公开固定块1的其他的替代方案:与具体实施例I相比,所述固定块1上设置有朝向所述脊椎2的开槽2A,开槽2A为圆弧形,通过两个成对的开槽2A能够稳定的夹持脊椎2。
具体实施例V:在具体实施例III中的调整杆701可以是图5中的圆柱形,该调整杆701的端部带有尖端,该尖端可以为图5中的圆锥形,并与盲孔1B对应;此时盲孔1B可以是图2中的方形孔也可以根据需要设置为圆形孔;
作为替代方案,上述的尖端也可以是与图2中的盲孔1B对应的四棱锥形。
优选的,调整杆701为如图8所示的阶梯形;位于阶梯小尺寸一端的方形段701A与图2中的盲孔1B对应;中间段701B为圆形与杆套705匹配;帽形段701C的尺寸大于杆套705的内径,防止调整杆701从杆套705中脱出。
以上公开的仅为本发明的几个具体实施场景,但是,本发明并非局限于此,任何本领域的技术人员能思之的变化都应落入本发明的保护范围。上述本发明序号仅仅为了描述,不代表实施场景的优劣。
