Attention deficit and hyperactive disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder of childhood. It seriously impairs academic achievement, social interaction, and vocational development, and increases the risk of accidental injury and substance abuse. In some cases, the symptoms may also exert an indirect disruptive effect on public order. Its aetiology involves interactions among genetic, perinatal environmental, and psychosocial factors that cannot be fully disentangled by single clinical studies. Therefore, a systematic evaluation of existing animal models is essential for revealing pathophysiology and developing novel therapies. Using the keywords "attention deficit and hyperactive disorder", "models, animal", "validity", and their English equivalents, we systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang for publications from 2000 to 2025 (retrieving 328 publications) and added further references by citation tracking. Eighty-six rodent ADHD models that provided detailed construction protocols, behavioural assessments, neurobiological mechanisms, or pharmacological data were included and classified into spontaneous genetic, genetically engineered, and environmentally induced paradigms. Their face, construct, and predictive validity were compared. Among spontaneous genetic models, spontaneously hypertensive rats reproduce hyperactivity, impulsivity, and stimulant responses well, yet hypertension and sex differences limit specificity. Acallosal mouse strains link corpus callosum absence to ADHD-like behaviours, but neurotransmitter studies remain scarce. Genetically engineered rodents—including dopamine transporter, neurokinin-1 receptor and mediator complex subunit 23 knockout or conditional gene knockout lines—precisely dissect dopaminergic, noradrenergic, synaptic, or epigenetic pathways, yet generally lack full phenotypic coverage, social-deficit modelling, and comorbidity representation, and are accompanied by adverse effects such as growth retardation or ocular defects. Environmentally induced models employ lead, polychlorinated biphenyls, alcohol, nicotine exposures, 6-hydroxydopamine lesions, neonatal hypoxia, early social isolation, or maternal stress to recapitulate core symptoms. However, dose-schedule standardisation is lacking. Behavioural reversibility diverges from clinical persistence, and non-specific phenotypes such as anxiety or depression are common. Overall, no single paradigm simultaneously achieves high validity across all three dimensions. Currently, ADHD models have progressed from single-factor simulations to multidimensional evaluation, yet significant gaps remain in genetic-background standardisation, sex differences, cross-species translation, and syndrome-differentiation modelling under traditional Chinese medicine. Future directions should integrate genetic, environmental, and epigenetic interactions, establish life-span validation systems, and incorporate computational neuroscience alongside integrative Chinese-Western strategies to enhance clinical relevance and translational utility, thereby providing robust evidence-based support for mechanistic elucidation, drug screening and precision intervention in ADHD.

The multimorbidity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis (PD) has drawn increasing attention, as both conditions are characterized by chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and progressive bone destruction. Modern research confirms that PD is a significant risk factor for RA development, and their coexistence mutually exacerbates disease progression. However, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) currently lacks a systematic theoretical explanation for this complex multimorbid relationship. This study, based on the TCM theory of abnormal collateral, thoroughly examines the intrinsic connection between RA and PD multimorbidity, proposing "abnormal collateral as the pivot, with accumulated toxins eroding bone" as the core TCM pathogenesis. The research elucidates PD as the "origin of abnormal collateral", where its pathogens act as toxic factors that invade the joints through collaterals, triggering RA via mechanisms such as molecular mimicry. The dynamic pathological progression of RA-PD multimorbidity can be described as follows: the displacement of Ying and Wei at the microscopic level manifests as immune hyperactivation, leading to collateral malnutrition; heat-toxins traversing collaterals induce collateral hyperactivity, resulting in pathological angiogenesis; ultimately, toxin accumulation at the pivotal abnormal collateral site erodes bone, activating the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANK) signaling pathway-driven osteoclast differentiation. This theoretical framework innovatively integrates modern findings in oral microbiology, immune-inflammation, and bone metabolism, offering a holistic and dynamic perspective to understand the complexity of multimorbidity. Given the limited efficacy of current periodontal treatments for RA and the scarcity of reported TCM compound interventions for multimorbidity, the abnormal collateral theory proposes a systematic intervention strategy centered on "governing diseases through collaterals and regulating collaterals with herbs", along with TCM therapeutic principles such as "unblocking, clearing, and nourishing collaterals". Potential herbal treatments for multimorbidity are also highlighted. Future research should focus on refining TCM syndrome patterns in multimorbid patients and leveraging omics technologies for deeper exploration, thereby providing a theoretical foundation and research direction for TCM in addressing complex multimorbid conditions.

Objective:To investigate the survival outcomes and prognostic factors in patients undergoing radical resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on 992 patients who underwent radical resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer at the Pancreatic Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2016 to June 2024. In this study, 577 (58.2%) were male and 415 (41.8%) were female,with an age of (65±9) years (range: 26 to 86 years). Follow-up continued until June 2024. Survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and prognostic factors were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models.Results:Among 992 patients,open surgery was the predominant approach (89.1%, 884/992), and radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) was performed in 317 patients (32.0%). Combined organ resection,venous resection,and arterial resection were performed in 23.5%, 9.3%,and 11.2% of patients,respectively. The rates of R0, R1-1 mm, and R1-direct resections were 49.8% (494/992),41.5% (412/992), and 8.7% (86/992),respectively. Stage ⅡB was the most common TNM stage (32.2%,319/992). A total of 801 patients (80.8%) received adjuvant chemotherapy. The median follow-up period was 32.0(8.8) months(range:3.2 to 105.3 months),during which 508 patients (51.2%) died. The overall median survival (OS) was 26.4 months,with 1-,3-, and 5-year survival rates of 79.0%,40.0%, and 29.0%, respectively. In the recent five years (from 2020 to 2024), the median OS improved significantly to 34.1 months compared to 20.0 months from 2016 to 2019 ( P<0.01). Histological subtype analysis showed that the median OS time was 26.7 months for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, n=855),58.9 months for invasive intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC, n=32),and 15.7 months for adenosquamous carcinoma of pancreas (ASCP, n=73) ( P=0.001). Among PDAC patients, adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved survival (29.1 months vs. 14.4 months, P<0.01);in IPMC patients, adjuvant chemotherapy also extended survival (65.7 months vs. 58.9 months, P=0.047). Although ASCP patients receiving chemotherapy had a longer median OS time than those without (18.8 months vs. 8.9 months),the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.151). Multivariate Cox regression analysis in PDAC patients indicated that adjuvant chemotherapy, R0 resection, T stage,N stage,and tumor differentiation were independent prognostic factors ( P<0.01). The median OS time by TNM stage was:not reached for stage ⅠA, 51.6 months for ⅠB, 25.5 months for ⅡA, 23.7 months for ⅡB, 23.0 months for Ⅲ, and 14.4 months for Ⅳ. The median OS time for R0,R1-1 mm,and R1-direct resections was 34.1,24.7,and 15.7 months,respectively ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Adjuvant chemotherapy,R0 resection,tumor stage,and differentiation are independent prognostic factors for pancreatic body and tail cancer.

BACKGROUND:Gait analysis,as a radiation-free dynamic assessment method,may be able to assist imaging to evaluate patients with scoliosis,thereby reducing radiation exposure.OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation between gait parameters and imaging parameters in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients,and preliminarily explore the potential mechanism through OpenSim simulation modeling.METHODS:Twenty adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients aged 10-18 years with Cobb angle of 10°-45° were selected as adolescent idiopathic scoliosisgroup. The control group was normal children of the same age and the same body mass index range,and a total of 40 subjects were included. The differences in spatiotemporal parameter,kinematic parameters,dynamic parameters,and gait deviation index of the two groups were compared to explore the correlation between pathological gait and coronal balance. The related mechanisms were preliminarily studied.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The comparison of gait parameters between groups showed that the percentage of bilateral support phase and double support phase increased in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients,and the percentage of bilateral swing phase decreased (P<0.05). The maximum adduction angle of the left hip joint of patients in the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis group was greater than that of the control group,and the maximum abduction angle of the bilateral hip joints was significantly less than that of the control group (P<0.05). The ankle joints of the two groups when the bilateral heels initially touched the ground;the difference between angles was significant (P<0.05). The peak power of right hip flexor muscle group in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients was significantly decreased when they pushed off the ground (P<0.05). (2) The results of the correlation study showed that the maximum abductive angle of the right hip joint was significantly positively correlated with the Cobb angle (r=0.552,P=0.012),and the right peak power of right hip flexor muscle and C7 lateral offset were significantly negatively correlated (r=-0.475,P=0.034). There was a significant positive correlation between ankle angle and lateral pelvic tilt when left foot followed the ground (r=0.476,P=0.034). (3) The simulation results of muscle length showed that the change of muscle fiber length of gluteal medium muscle in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients was significantly reduced (P<0.05). The change of muscle fiber length of the bilateral internal oblique muscle was significantly reduced in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients (P<0.05). Comparing the muscle fiber length of the two groups when foot followed the ground,it was found that the muscle fiber length of the calf triceps of the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients was significantly shorter when foot followed the ground (P<0.05). (4) The results showed that the postural stability control of the trunk of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients was decreased,which was manifested as slow step frequency,increased percentage of double support phase and decreased percentage of swing phase. The common pattern of low foot striking pattern is caused by bilateral Achilles tendon tension. In adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients,the ability of hip flexor muscle to do work is decreased,which may be related to joint angular velocity and main bend direction.

Aim To explore the protective effect of icariin on the damage of tight junctional function of Sertoli cells in naturally aging mice and the related mechanism.Methods 15-month-old C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into three groups:aging model group,low-dose and high-dose icariin treatment group(5 and 20 mg·kg-1).Another 1-month-old C57BL/6J male mice were considered as adult control group(n=10).The mice in adult control group and aging model group were given the vehicle(0.5%sodi-um carboxymethyl cellulose solution)by intragastric administration,while the mice in icariin-treated groups were given different concentrations of icariin,respec-tively.After continuous administration of icariin for three months,the testes and epididymis were immedi-ately removed,weighed,and the organ index was calcu-lated.Sperm viability and sperm concentration in epi-didymis were measured.The morphological changes of testes were observed by HE staining.The ultrastructur-al changes of tight junctions of Sertoli cells were ob-served by transmission electron microscopy.The ex-pression levels of tight junction-related proteins ZO-1,Occludin,and Claudin11 of testicular Sertoli cells were detected by Western blot.The expression and localiza-tion of ZO-1,Occludin,Raptor,Rictor,p-70S6K,and p-rps6 were detected by immunofluorescence.Results Compared with the aging model group,icariin signifi-cantly increased testicular weight and its index,and ep-ididymal index,improved sperm viability and increased sperm concentration in naturally aging mice.In addi-tion,icariin improved the degeneration of testicular morphology and the damage of ultrastructure of Sertoli cell tight junction with aging.Furthermore,Western blot results showed that icariin up-regulated the expres-sion of ZO-1 and Occludin,but had no significant effect on the expression of Claudin 11.Immunofluorescence assay showed that icariin up-regulated the expression of Rictor,and down-regulated the expression of p-70S6K,p-rps6 and Raptor.Conclusions Icariin improves the tight junction damage of Sertoli cells in naturally aging mice,and its mechanism may be related to restoring the balance between mTORC1 and mTORC2.

Aim To explore the effect of C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 6(CTRP6)on cardio-myocyte pyroptosis in rats with acute myocardial infarc-tion(AMI)inhibited by quercetin(Que)and the un-derlying mechanism.Methods A rat model of AMI was established by ligation of the left anterior descend-ing coronary artery.Firstly,the rats were divided into the sham operation group(Sham),AMI group,low-dose quercetin group(Que-L,25 mg·kg-1),high-dose quercetin group(Que-H,100 mg·kg-1),fosino-pril sodium tablet group(fosinopril,4 mg·kg-1),with 10 rats in each group.Each group was orally ad-ministered with the corresponding drug dose or physio-logical saline once a day for 14 consecutive days.Doppler ultrasonography was used to detect the changes of cardiac function,the pathological changes of rat myo-cardial tissue were observed,and Western blot was used to detect the myocardial tissue pyroptosis-related proteins and CTRP6 expression.The optimal dosage of Que was determined through the screening of the above experimental indicators.Subsequently,the experiment was divided into the Sham,AMI,Que(100 mg·kg-1),Que+si-NC group,Que+si-CTRP6,with 10 rats in each group.After 14 days of intervention,myo-cardial infarction,myocardial injury indicators,pyropto-sis,CTRP6,and PI3K/Akt pathway protein expression were detected.Results Compared with the Sham group,the LVEDV and LVESV significantly increased,the EF and FS significantly decreased(P<0.05),the myocardial tissue had obvious pathological damage,the degree of fibrosis increased,the myocardial infarction area,LDH,CK-MB,cTnI levels,TUNEL positive cell ratio increased,NLRP3,cleaved caspase-1,GSDMD-N,IL-1 β,IL-18 expression increased,and CTRP6 expres-sion,p-PI3K/PI3K,p-Akt/Akt ratio decreased in the AMI group(P<0.05).Compared with the AMI group,Que-L and Que-H rats showed reduced cardiac function indicators and pathological damage to myocar-dial tissue,decreased myocardial infarction area,LDH,CK-MB,cTnI levels,decreased TUNEL positivity rate(P<0.05),decreased expression of pyroptosis related proteins,and increased expression of CTRP6 and PI3K/Akt pathway proteins(P<0.05),all of which were dose-dependent.Compared with the Que group,the changes in the above indicators in the Que+si-CTRP6 group rats were significantly reversed.Conclu-sions Que can inhibit cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and improve myocardial infarction in AMI rats,and its mechanism is related to up-regulating CTRP6 expres-sion and promoting the activation of PI3 K/Akt signa-ling pathway.

To investigate the anti-atherosclerotic effects of dietary hesperidin and naringin on ather-osclerosis in rabbits.Twenty-four adult healthy male New Zealand Large White rabbits were ran-domly assigned to four groups based on one factor:control(Con),model(Mod),hesperidin(HP),and naringenin(NG),each containing six rabbits and housed in solitary cages.During the experi-mental period,the control group received normal feed;the model group was fed high-fat for 30 d to establish the atherosclerosis,(AS)model and continued to be fed high-fat feed;the hesperidin and naringenin groups were fed high-fat for 30 d and then underwent AS modeling,and at a later stage,150 mg of hesperidin(or naringenin)was added to the diets at a rate of 1.5 mg per kg of di-et,respectively,for 30 d.Relative body quality,blood lipids,oxidation,and inflammatory factor lev-els were all assessed.At the end of the test period,the test rabbits were sacrificed to obtain the common carotid artery for histopathological section HE staining,Oil red O staining,and Sirius red staining in order to observe vascular tissue structure,lipid and inflammatory cell infiltration,and e-lastic plate and elastic fiber damage.The results indicated that the relative body quality of the mod-el,HP and NG groups increased rapidly,and the difference with the control group within the same period was highly significant(P<0.01);The HP and NG interventions significantly decreased to-tal cholesterol(TC)and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)levels(P<0.01),while also leading to a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)levels(P<0.01);MDA levels exhibited a significant decrease(P<0.01),while SOD levels showed a notable in-crease(P<0.01)following the HP and NG interventions;After HP and NG interventions,TNF-α and IL-1 were regressed(P<0.01)and IL-10 was significantly elevated(P<0.01);Compared with the control group,the model group showed approximately 41.8 and 2.5 fold thickening of the maximal endo-medial membrane,respectively,and the HP and NG interventions showed approxi-mately 13 and 15 fold thickening of the maximal endo-medial membrane,and both of the maximal medial membranes thickened by approximately 1.4 fold;Staining of pathological sections showed that HP and NG intervened to significantly reduce inflammatory cell infiltration,deposition of lipid components,slight thickening of the endothelium,and intact fibroblastic components.The results showed that the addition of HP and NG to diets could regulate blood lipids and exert anti-inflam-matory and antioxidant effects by inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors and oxidizing factors,showing significant anti-AS effects,and the two effects were comparable.
