摘要：Murine subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH)induced using the filament perforation method is a useful in vivo experimental model to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms in the brain underlying SAH.However,identifying mice with comorbid acute neurogenic pulmonary edema(NPE),a life-threatening systemic consequence often induced by SAH,in this model is difficult without histopathological investiga-tions.Herein,we present an imaging procedure involving dual-energy X-ray absorp-tiometry(DXA)to identify NPE in a murine model of SAH.We quantified the lung lean mass(LM)and compared the relationship between micro-computed tomography(CT)evidence of Hounsfield unit(HU)values and histopathological findings of PE.Of the 85 mice with successful induction of SAH by filament perforation,16(19％)had NPE,as verified by postmortem histology.The DXA-LM values correlate well with CT-HU levels(r=0.63,p＜0.0001).Regarding the relationship between LM and HU in mice with post-SAH NPE,the LM was positively associated with HU values(r2=0.43;p=0.0056).A receiver operating characteristics curve of LM revealed a sensitivity of 87％and specificity of 57％for detecting PE,with a similar area under the curve as the HU(0.79±0.06 vs.0.84±0.07;p=0.21).These data suggest that confirming acute NPE using DXA-LM is a valuable method for selecting a clinically relevant murine NPE model that could be used in future experimental SAH studies.
