Abstract:
Diarrhea-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is one of the common functional bowel diseases in clinical practice. Since it pathogenesis is complex and has not been fully elucidated, effective treatment methods remains to be developed for this disease. Establishing the animal models of IBS-D in accordance with the clinical characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine helps to reveal the pathogenesis of this disease and improve the treatment plan. The fitting degree of an animal model with clinical characteristics is an indicator to evaluate the effectiveness of the animal model in simulating the disease characteristics of Western medicine and the syndromes of TCM based on the latest diagnostic standards. By reviewing the relevant articles about the animal models of IBS-D, we discovered that rats were the preferred animals for modeling, and the models were mainly induced by single factors, double factors, or the combination of multiple factors. The established animal models mainly present symptoms or signs associated with visceral hypersensitivity or/and gastrointestinal motility abnormalities. The single factor-induced rat models of IBS-D had high fitting degrees with the clinical characteristics of Western medicine but low fitting degrees with the TCM syndromes. The animal models induced by two or more factors had high but varied fitting degrees with the clinical characteristics of Western medicine. In addition, the animal models of IBS-D considering TCM syndromes mainly focuses on the syndrome of liver depression and spleen deficiency, and few models were established for the syndromes of spleen-kidney Yang deficiency, spleen-stomach dampness-heat, spleen deficiency and dampness excess, and cold and heat in complexity. Therefore, it is essential to improve the existing or develop new animal models of IBS-D in the future, so as to provide more tools for deciphering the mechanisms of TCM and Western medicine and developing treatment methods for this disease.
