摘　　要：该研究旨在建立联体小鼠模型并评估小鼠应对联体状态时的生理变化。选取13对同基因联体小鼠,在两只小鼠肘关节远端4～5mm处,沿着肱骨和肋骨侧面直到腰围线末端,连接皮肤和皮下组织,建立联体模型,术后观察联体小鼠运动变化、体重、粪便皮质酮活性及血液交换率等。结果发现:术后联体小鼠出现兴奋、焦虑等特征性运动失常,随后数周小鼠活动逐渐适应联体状态,120天内无一死亡;术后三天体重下降,术后一月恢复至正常;术后粪便中皮质酮代谢物水平快速升高,至第75天降至正常;检测术后其中三对联体小鼠之间的血液交换率,结果基本正常,第12周血液完全交换率分别为63、46和107min。该结果提示小鼠能够很好地适应联体状态,该模型具有广泛的应用前景。The purpose of this study was to establish a parabiotic mice model and assess the physiological changes of the mice under the parabiotic state. Thirteen pairs of isogenic partners were studied. The model was created by preparing a bridge of skin and subcutaneous tissues between the two mice starting distal of the elbow joint along the humerus along the lateral costal region until the end of the waist line. Physiological, social and affective qualities of life were studied in the mice through behavioural observations for 120 days following the parabiotic surgery. During the first 2-3 days following the operation, the animals suffered from severe pain and distress. During the following days and weeks, the physiological system began to recover and the animals displayed behavioral adaptations to the parabiotic condition. All animals survived at day 120. At three days post operation, the body weight began to decrease. Following this, the animals experienced a continual body weight recovery and reached pre-surgical measures at about 30 days post op. Forty-eight h post op., faecal corticosterone-metabolites were extremely elevated, but their levels returned to two to four times of levels in control females within 72 hours post op. The faecal corticosterone-metabolite levels decreased near to control values on day 75. Out of the 13 pairs, the blood exchange rate of three parabiotic partners was tested, with the result being normal post op. After 12 weeks, the total blood exchange between both partners needed 63 or 46 or 107 min, respectively. These results demonstrated that the animals could adapt behaviourally to the parabiotic situation. Therefore, this parabiosis mouse model may provide useful insights in many research areas, such as transplantation immunity, hematological system and metabolism, etc.
