| Research Abstract |
In the present study, we used rat models to determine the morphological changes and investigate the mechanism underlying death caused by locallyapplied negative pressure. We found that morphological changes caused by locally applied negative pressure occurred in the early stages of the experiment, as opposed to that demonstrated by previous reports that used crush syndrome models and/or ischemic models. These results suggest that locally applied negative pressure directly causes muscle damage. Moreover, physiological studies revealed that negative pressure applied to the upper limb and chest brought about abrupt deaths, which possibly explain the mechanism underlying death caused by locally negative pressure. To the best of our knowledge, no experimental reports have been conducted on locally applied negative pressure. Therefore, this study presents valuable results.
