The tail-suspension test is validated as an experimental procedure to assess antidepressant efficacy of drug treatments in mice. Mice are suspended by their tails for six minutes and escape-related behaviors are assessed. We describe procedures used in conducting the tail suspension test.

This protocol describes the application of high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) for imaging mouse cervical lymph nodes. This technique optimizes visualization and quantification of cervical lymph node morphology, volume and blood flow. Image-guided biopsy of cervical lymph nodes and processing of lymph tissue for histological evaluation is also demonstrated.
FAQs
The technique transfers support from weakened pelvic tissues to stronger pelvic ligaments or another stable structure. Sutures or supporting material help maintain that connection, allowing the cervix and upper uterus to remain in a more supported position. This mechanical redistribution addresses the underlying loss of apical support rather than only treating pressure or bulging symptoms.
Sutures or another supporting material create the connection between the cervix or nearby uterine tissues and the selected stable support point. Their purpose is to maintain the reconstructed relationship between these structures after repositioning. The choice of support is therefore central to restoring anatomical support while allowing the uterus to remain in place in appropriate cases.
Repositioning the reproductive organs within the pelvis can improve the relationship between the cervix, upper uterus, and surrounding support structures. Restored alignment may reduce the pressure and bulging associated with prolapse and can also improve related functional symptoms. The anatomical result is therefore an important part of evaluating whether reconstructive support has achieved its intended effect.
Cervical suspension contributes to uterus-sparing pelvic reconstruction because it supports the cervix and upper uterus without requiring removal of the reproductive organs described in the technique. This makes it relevant when preservation of the uterus is being considered. Its suitability remains patient-specific, since the approach is intended for selected patients with weakened pelvic support and prolapse.
The central sequence is to identify the cervix or adjacent uterine tissues, select stronger pelvic ligaments or another stable structure, and connect the tissues using sutures or supporting material. The reproductive organs are then repositioned within the pelvis as support is restored. These steps describe the reconstructive principle, while the exact operative plan depends on the clinical situation.
Clinicians may consider this approach when weakened pelvic tissues have contributed to uterine or apical prolapse and reconstructive support is needed. It is particularly relevant when a uterus-sparing strategy is being evaluated in a selected patient. The technique belongs within reconstructive pelvic surgery, where the goal is to improve support and anatomical position rather than address symptoms alone.
Assessment can focus on whether the cervix and upper uterus remain better supported and whether pelvic anatomy has been repositioned within the pelvis. Clinicians can also evaluate changes in pressure, bulging, and related functional symptoms. These findings help determine whether the reconstruction improved anatomical support and whether a uterus-sparing approach provided a meaningful clinical result.
