Abstract:
ObjectiveWith the development of society and the increasing demand for pregnancy at an advanced age, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) has attracted wider attention. This disease affects the normal menstruation of women and poses a threat to their mental health. Current research on DOR is still in the initial stage, and advancing research progress in DOR necessitates the construction of effective and clinically relevant animal models. Building on existing literature and integrating the diagnosis criteria of DOR in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine, this study summarized, analyzed, and evaluated existing models, providing a reference for optimizing DOR animal models. MethodsA retrospective analysis of literature on DOR-related animal models was conducted, and the diagnostic criteria of DOR in TCM and Western medicine were sorted out. By means of evaluation methods of animal models, the clinical relevance of each model to TCM and Western medicine was assessed. ResultsDOR animal models included those based on natural factors, iatrogenic factors, immune factors, metabolic factors, and environmental factors. Among them, the model based on iatrogenic factors, especially models induced by Tripterygium wilfordii preparations, cyclophosphamide, and cisplatin, had a high degree of relevance to both Western medical diseases and TCM syndromes and was confirmed as the optimal modeling method for studying DOR at present. ConclusionThe existing DOR modeling methods mostly have a high degree of clinical relevance to Western medical diseases, while the number of DOR animal models with clear TCM syndromes is very limited. TCM plays an indispensable role in exploring DOR treatment methods. Therefore, the development of DOR animal models related to TCM syndromes should be strengthened, further exploring the potential of TCM and providing strong theoretical support for the application of TCM in DOR treatment.
