Objective To study the application of an animal model of glaucoma and provide a reference for improved animal experimental method and models.Methods We searched the CNI and PubMed databases using the terms"glaucoma"and"animal models"to identify studies related to animal models of glaucoma from 2012 to 2022.The study species,sex,modeling method,and detection indexes were summarized,and a database was established for statistical analysis.Results In total,400 articles conforming to the criteria were selected.Most of the experimental animals were C57BL/6J mice and most of them were male.The most common modeling method were anterior chamber injection-induced,transgenic,and laser photocoagulation-induced models.The most frequent detection indicators included intraocular pressure measurement,histopathology,Western Blot analysis,and immunohistochemistry.Conclusions Numerous method have been used to construct glaucoma animal models,but the intervention of related traditional Chinese medicine factors is less.It is suggested to increase the glaucoma animal model combined with disease and syndrome.This study evaluated different animal models of glaucoma by data mining to provide references for the construction of animal models with high modelling-success rates,good reproducibility,and high clinical coincidence,as well as providing ideas for model improvement.

Cough variant asthma(CVA)is a common respiratory disease in clinical practice.The only or main clinical manifestation of CVA is cough.It has similar pathological pathogenesis with asthma,but its pathological changes are sligher than asthma.The research of CVA drugs needs appropriate CVA animal models as the research basis.Based on the characteristics of CVA clinical diseases and syndromes of traditional Chinese and western medicine,combined with the clinical diagnostic criteria of traditional Chinese and western medicine,the CVA animal models are combed and analyzed,in order to provide references for the establishment,evaluation and application of CVA animal models.Chemical induction was used to prepare the commonly used animal models of cough variant asthma,including mice,rats and guinea pigs.The selection of sensitizing agent,adjuvant,activator and cough inducing agent was basically the same in the animal models of cough variant asthma,but there were significant differences in the selection of sensitizing method,sensitizing and stimulating dose,modeling cycle and detection index.Western medicine has clear diagnostic criteria for cough variant asthma,while traditional Chinese medicine can classify cough-variant asthma into different types according to different syndromes.At present,the commonly used animal models of cough variant asthma are highly consistent with the diagnostic criteria of western medicine,but not well consistent with the diagnostic criteria of traditional Chinese medicine,which is insufficient to reflect the symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine.The establishment of CVA animal model combining disease and syndrome,including medical syndromes into the model evaluation criteria,meets the requirements of TCM research on CVA animal model.In model evaluation,behavioral manifestations,HE staining of lung tissue,cell counts in BALF and lung function indicators should be considered in various aspects,and airway excitation test,alveolar lavage fluid eosinophil count,behavioral and other aspects should be distinguished from asthma.
