一种小鼠固定器及两种批量艾灸装置的应用

Introduction of a new type of mouse forelimb fixator and two types of batch mice moxibustion device

设计一种新型的小鼠固定器及两种穴位批量艾灸装置。小鼠固定器添加前肢固定片,可使小鼠保持前肢穴位充分暴露姿势;固定器榫卯式插入底座,实现多只小鼠同时固定。运用单孔艾灸架底座和磁铁的可移动性,精准调控穴位与灸距,对小鼠不同经脉腧穴进行艾灸;运用多孔透明艾灸板,可满足多个穴位同时艾灸。此小鼠固定器和两种艾灸装置操作方便,创意新颖,节省人力物力,有助于提高实验效率,推动艾灸实验研究。

A newly-developed"Mouse Forelimb Fixator"and two types of"Batch Mice Moxibustion Device"on the basis of our"Mouse Safe and Fast Fixation Board"(developed in 2012)were introduced in the present paper.The Forelimb Fixator inserted into the base part of the apparatus in tenon and mortise style is used to control the mouse’s posture with the forelimbs’acupoints fully exposed,and can realize simultaneous fixation of several mice at the same time.By using the mobility of the base of the single-hole moxibustion frame and the magnet,the distance between the acupoint surface and the tip of the ignited moxa stick can be accurately controlled,and several acupoints of different meridians can be simultaneously stimulated at the same time.Utilizing the porous transparent moxibustion board,the Batch Mice Moxibustion Device can meet the requirement of moxibustion at multiple acupoints at the same time.In addition,these devices are convenient in operation,innovative in creativity,save manpower and material resources,and help improve experimental efficiency and research on moxibustion.
