Rodent models for cerebral infarction are useful for studying human focal ischemic cerebral infarction, by simulating etiological and pathophysiological mechanisms. However, differences in the selection of anesthetic drugs, surgical methods and other factors may affect the extent to which preclinical models reflect the human condition. This review summarizes these factors. We searched pertinent literature from the MEDLINE and Web of Science databases, and reviewed differences in rodent strain, anesthesia method, sex, surgical method, timing of surgery, and factors influencing postoperative evaluation. In particular, circadian rhythm was found to have a significant impact on the outcome of cerebral infarction in rodent models. This information will enable researchers to quickly and clearly select appropriate modeling methods, acquire reliable quantitative experimental results, and obtain basic data for fundamental mechanism research. 收起
