Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Transplantation Biology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • The development of head transplantation techniques is crucial for treating severe bodily trauma or disease.
  • Animal models are essential for advancing novel surgical procedures like head transplantation.
  • The established mouse model of allo-head and body reconstruction (AHBR) aims to bridge the gap between surgical practice and clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a functional mouse model for head transplantation.
  • To investigate the feasibility of maintaining adequate blood perfusion to the transplanted head.
  • To lay the groundwork for future research into immune rejection and neurological function in head transplant models.

Main Methods:

  • Implementing donor-to-recipient cross-circulation by connecting the carotid artery and jugular vein.
  • Ensuring continuous blood supply to the transplanted head throughout the surgical procedure.
  • Utilizing electroencephalogram (EEG) and cranial nerve reflexes to assess neurological function preservation.

Main Results:

  • Adequate blood perfusion of the transplanted head was successfully maintained during the surgical procedure.
  • Preservation of neurological function was confirmed through EEG monitoring and intact cranial nerve reflexes.
  • The developed surgical technique demonstrated the feasibility of preventing brain ischemia during head transplantation.

Conclusions:

  • The study successfully established a mouse model for head transplantation, demonstrating the feasibility of the surgical approach.
  • The method effectively prevents brain ischemia by maintaining blood perfusion, which is critical for potential long-term studies.
  • This research provides a foundation for future investigations into the complexities of head transplantation and its clinical translation.
