Objective To comprehensively analyze the reported preparation methods for animal models of perimenopausal syndrome (PS), to compare the advantages and disadvantages of various preparation elements and detection indexes, so as to provide useful references for the optimization of the relevant animal models as well as the standardization of their application in the efficacy evaluation of new drugs.MethodsIn this paper, literature research methods were applied using "perimenopausal syndrome" as the subject term. The publication period of the literature was limited to January 2016 to February 2023. Relevant literature on the preparation of PS animal models was retrieved from databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, and PubMed. After screening the experimental literature that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, detailed information on experimental animal strains, modeling methods, duration of drug administration, positive drugs, detection indexes and other relevant information were collected. After the above information was standardized, the PS animal model database was established using Excel 2010 software. The model preparation elements and evaluation indexes were summarized systematically, and the statistical results were processed and analyzed using Excel 2010 software.Results A total of 247 articles were screened. SD rats (164 times, 65.86%) and Wistar rats (35 times, 14.06%) were often used to prepare PS animal models. Bilateral ovariectomy (139 times, 53.87%) and natural aging (43 times, 16.80%) were chosen as modeling methods. The ages of rats used for modeling ranged from 7 weeks to 18 months, with 3-month-old rats (22 times, 21.78%) being the most common. The detection indexes were comprehensively evaluated from multiple perspectives, including serum biochemistry, vaginal exfoliated cell smear, histomorphology, general observation, behavioral observation, and organ tissue protein immunoblotting. Western medical evaluation indexes were commonly used to test the successful preparation of models, with vaginal exfoliated cell smears being the most frequently used method (125 times, 85.04%). A model was considered successfully prepared when estrous cycle disorder or irregularity was observed. Some literature also determined modeling success by detecting a significant decrease in serum estradiol levels (5 times, 3.04%). Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome evaluation often used a combination of Chinese and Western medical evaluation indexes for comprehensive evaluation, with researchers determining the TCM syndrome through vaginal exfoliated cell smears supplemented by general observation (3 times, 2.04%).Conclusion There are many methods for preparing PS animal models, but there are still significant differences in the selection of animal species, age, criteria for successful modeling, and TCM syndrome evaluation in the related literature.

Objective To investigate the key elements for model establishment and determine the evaluation indicators of animal models for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), providing a reference for improving modelling methods and optimizing the application of PID animal models. Methods The search query "Pelvic Inflammatory Disease" AND "Animal Model" OR "Rat" OR "Mouse" OR" Guinea Pig" OR "Rabbit" OR "Dog" OR "Pig" was used to retrieve relevant literature on PID animal models published from 2013 to 2023 in China Knowledge Network Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and PubMed databases. The studies were analyzed and categorized based on experimental animal types, modelling methods, modelling cycles, detection indicators, positive control drugs, and administration duration. A database was established for statistical analysis. Results A total of 214 research articles on PID animal models meeting the inclusion criteria were identified. The most commonly used model animals are Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, followed by Wistar rats. The most frequently employed modelling method is a combination of mechanical injury and bacterial infection, followed by the phenol mucilage method. The most common modelling cycles for acute pelvic inflammatory disease (APID) and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (CPID)/sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease (SPID) are 8 to 14 days, while for PID models without specific staging, the cycles are 7 days. High-frequency detection methods and indicators include histopathological observation using hematoxylin-eosin staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for serum-related indicators, morphological changes of tissues observed with the naked eye, and immunohistochemical detection of related protein expression in uterine tissues, and pathological scoring. The most frequently used positive control drugs are Fuke Qianjin Tablets, followed by Jingangteng Capsules. The most common administration duration for APID is 7 days, and for CPID/SPID models, it ranges from 15 to 21 days. Conclusion Currently, SD rats and Wistar rats are commonly used as experimental animals for PID models. The dual modelling method of mechanical injury combined with mixed bacterial infection aligns closely with clinical pathogenesis and can be used to establish a PID model that simulates postoperative uterine cavity infection. Depending on the research objectives, different positive drugs and detection indicators should be selected for comprehensive evaluation. Most existing PID animal model studies are based on western medical diagnosis, with fewer studies focusing on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes. There is a need to integrate TCM theories of etiology and pathogenesis to construct PID animal models that are more in line with TCM clinical symptoms.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the onset time and efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with Dermatophagoides farinae drops in children with house dust mites (HDM)-induced allergic rhinitis (AR).
METHODSOne hundred and forty three children with perennial moderate to severe HDM-induced AR were treated by SLIT with standardized Dermatophagoides farinae extract. One hundred children who finally completed two years treatment were divided into two groups according to the age: younger children group (aged 4-8 years, n = 52) and older children group (aged 9-14 years, n = 48). Respectively, Each children was assessed before and after 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th months of the treatment. Total nasal symptom score (TNSS), total medication score (TMS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were evaluated at each visit. All clinical data were analyzed retrospectively with the SPSS 19.0 software.
RESULTSTNSS, TMS and VAS of two groups decreased significantly after three months of the treatment compared with before (younger children group: Z value was -3.843, -3.534, -3.940, older children group: Z value was -3.938, -3.405, -3.953, all P < 0.05). TNSS and VAS of younger children group decreased significantly after two months of the treatment compared with before (6.4 ± 1.6, 5.3 ± 1.4 vs 8.6 ± 1.2, 7.9 ± 1.6, Z value was -3.843, -3.940, both P < 0.05). Five children (5%) experienced local adverse events and 2 children (2%) experienced mild systemic adverse events. No severe adverse events happened during the treatment.
CONCLUSIONSSLIT with Dermatophagoides farinae drops is an efficient and safe treatment for children with HDM-induced AR. Its onset of action can be observed as early as 3 months after treatment.
