¹Heart Center at Puai Hospital, Wuhan Puai Hospital, Jianghan University

Here, we describe a simple tail vein blood sampling method in non-anesthetized rats using a vacuum extraction tube system. This method reduces the risk of direct exposure to blood and simplifies taking multiple samples from a single venipuncture.

¹Wuhan Institute of Biomedical Sciences, School of Medicine, Jianghan University

Here, we present a protocol to establish a distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO) model through transcranial electrocoagulation in C57BL/6J mice and evaluate the subsequent neurological behavior and histopathological features.

¹Hubei Key Laboratory of Cognitive and Affective Disorder, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, School of Medicine, Jianghan University

This study presents a protocol for establishing a highly reproducible animal model of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) using middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) in C57BL/6 mice with acute hyperglycemia.
