Abstract:
Obstructive jaundice is a common disease that greatly threatens human health.In order to better investigate the pathogenesis of obstructive jaundice,pathophysiological changes during disease progression,and treatment measures,the establishment of a stable animal model of obstructive jaundice becomes the basis for the research on various types of obstructive jaundice.This article elaborates on the advantages and disadvantages of the animal models of acute,progressive,chronic fluctuant,malignant,and reducible obstructive jaundice,as well as their application in clinical practice.These animal models have certain limitations in reflecting the development and progression of target disease.Most animal models are established by surgery or external physical and chemical damage,and there are still no mouse models of gene knockout or overexpression.Future research will focus on the stable animal models of chronic and progressive obstructive jaundice and special types of obstructive jaundice.
