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.

ObjectiveTo construct a rat model of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type), and evaluate the macroscopic manifestations and microscopic indicators of the model. MethodsTwenty-two SD rats were divided into normal group (n=3), common psoriasis group (n=5), spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group (n=7), and psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group (n=7). The spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) rat model was established through 32-week exposure to an artificially simulated high-humidity environment, while the common psoriasis model was developed via 7-day topical application of imiquimod cream, and these two approaches were combined to construct a composite model of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type). Rats in the normal group were housed under normal humidity conditions. The general state, tongue manifestation of rats were observed to evaluate the macroscopic syndrome manifestations; the microscopic syndrome manifestations of rats were evaluated through adipose tissue and liver tissue changes; the severity of psoriasis in rats was evaluated through skin pathological changes, psoriasis area and severity index (PASI), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression and spleen tissue changes; changes in rat CD4+ interferon-γ+ cells (CD4+IFN-γ+ cells), CD4+ tumour necrosis factor-α+ cells (CD4+ TNF-α+ cells), and forkhead framing protein P3+ regulatory T cells (CD3+CD4+FoxP3+ Treg cells) were detected by flow cytometry. ResultsMacroscopically, both the spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group and psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group exhibited manifestations of spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction, including lethargy, huddling behavior, dull and disheveled fur, as well as soft or loose stools and perianal soiling in some individuals; both these two groups displayed enlarged tongue, swollen, and moist tongue texture, accompanied by slippery tongue surface. Microscopically, compared to the common psoriasis group, the psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group showed increased epididymal fat index (P<0.05); compared to the normal group and spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group, the psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group demonstrated significantly elevated spleen mass (P<0.05), while hepatic gross morphology and HE staining revealed no significant histopathological changes across all groups. Dorsal skin lesions were markedly exacerbated in the psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group when compared to those in common psoriasis group. Both the common psoriasis group and psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group exhibited significantly higher erythema scores, scaling scores, infiltration scores, PASI total scores, and proportions of CD3+CD4+FoxP3+Treg cells compared to the normal group and spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group (P<0.05), with pronounced PCNA-positive expression observed in the epidermal basal layer and dermis; the psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group displayed significantly increased proportions of CD4+TNF-α+cells compared to the spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) group (P<0.05); whereas no significant differences were detected in CD4+IFN-γ+cell proportions among groups (P>0.05). ConclusionThe rat model of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome (external dampness type) can be successfully constructed by artificially simulating a high-humidity environment combined with imiquimod induction.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and distribution characteristics for skip lateral lymph node metastasis in patients of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods:Clinical data of 720 PTC patients with postoperative pathologically confirmed lymph node metastasis in the lateral cervical region at Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from Jan 2014 to Dec 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether there is skip metastasis in the lymph nodes of the patients, patients were divided into skip metastasis group (92 cases) and non-skip metastasis group (628 cases).Results:The rate of lymph node skip metastasis in PTC in this study was 12.7% (92/720). Women ( OR=1.890, 95% CI:1.118-3.198, P=0.018), age ≥55 years ( OR=2.508, 95% CI:1.412-4.454, P=0.002), tumor involving the upper pole ( OR=1.919, 95% CI:1.220-3.018, P=0.005), and unilateral glandular lobe lesions ( OR=1.926, 95% CI:1.153-3.214, P=0.012) were independent risk factors for lymph node skip metastasis. Skip metastasis is most likely to occur in region Ⅲ, followed by region Ⅵ, Ⅱ and Ⅴ. Larger cancer tended to have more than one jumping metastases in regions Ⅲ and Ⅳ ( P=0.001, 0.016). Conclusion:In female PTC patients, age≥55 years , tumors involving upper pole, and unilateral lesions,are all the hazardous factor for skip metastasis in the lateral neck region.

Objective To construct a mouse model of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction pattern and evaluate the model from multiple dimensions and directions,expects to provide research support for the study of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction pattern. Methods A mouse model of spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction pattern was established by feeding a high-fat diet,a mouse model of psoriasis vulgaris was established by externally applying imiquimod ointment,and a mouse model of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction pattern was constructed by combining the above two models. Indications of spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction pattern were evaluated by comparing the body mass,food intake and water intake of mice in each group. The severity of psoriasis in mice was evaluated by comparing the area of skin lesions,PASI score,the value of transdermal water loss (TEWL),and histopathological morphological changes of skin under HE staining in each group. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression in various cell types to evaluate the degree of inflammatory response of psoriasis in mice. Observation of adiposity index,changes in the histopathological morphology of liver tissue under HE staining,changes in the mRNA expression levels of related factors in liver tissue and adipose tissue of epididymis of mice detected by RT-qPCR,and changes of ABCA1 protein expression level of skin detected by Western Blot were used to evaluate the lipid metabolism disorders in mice. Results Compared with the mice in the psoriasis vulgaris model group,the mice in the model of psoriasis with pattern of spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction had significantly higher body mass (P<0.001),significantly lower food intake (P<0.005),and the symptoms of pattern of spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction such as greasy fur,mental fatigue,etc. appeared. The TWEL were significantly increased(P<0.001),and the PASI scores also significantly increased(P<0.001). HE results were found psoriasis-like manifestations including hypertrophy of the spinous layer and clubbed hyperplasia. The expression of CD11bhighLy6G+neutrophil subpopulation,CD11binLy6Chigh monocyte subpopulation,CD11binCD11chigh classical dendritic cell subpopulation,F4/80-CD11c+dendritic cell subpopulation was significantly increased (P<0.001). HE staining suggested that the cellular morphology of liver showed obvious vacuolated degeneration,and the index of subcutaneous white adiposity and epididymal adiposity index were both significantly increased (P<0.005). The mRNA levels of FABP4 and CD36 in liver tissue were significantly elevated(P<0.005,P<0.001),while the mRNA expression levels of ABCA1 and PPARγ in epididymal fat tissue were decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01). ABCA1 protein level in skin increased(P>0.05). Conclusion The mouse model of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction pattern can be used as a reliable animal model for combining disease and pattern,which can provide a reference for further exploration of TCM in the treatment of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction pattern.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in the prognosis of patients with advanced diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed. The clinical data of 654 patients newly diagnosed with advanced DLBCL diagnosed in 7 medical centers in Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group from October 2009 to January 2022 were retrospectively collected. All the patients received rituximab-based immune chemotherapy regimens. The patients were randomly assigned to the training set (458 cases) and the validation set (196 cases) in a 7:3 ratio. The clinicopathological data of patients were collected, and the CONUT score was calculated based on albumin, lymphocyte count, and total cholesterol. The optimal critical value of CONUT scote was determined by using MaxStat method. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves; Cox proportional hazards model was used to make univariate analysis and multivariate analysis on the factors influencing overall survival (OS). The efficacy of CONUT score in combination with the International prognostic index (IPI) and an enhanced IPI (NCCN-IPI) in predicting OS was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:The median follow-up time of 654 patients was 38.1 months (95% CI: 35.3 months- 40.9 months), and the 5-year OS rate was 49.2%. According to the MaxStat method, the optimal critical value for CONUT score was determined to be 6 points. All the patients were classified into the normal nutritional status group (CONUT score ≤ 6 points, 489 cases) and the poor nutritional status group (CONUT score > 6 points, 165 cases). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that CONUT score > 6 points, male, lactate dehydrogenase >240 U/L, high white blood cell count, low hemoglobin level and age > 60 years were independent risk factors for OS of patients with advanced DLBCL (all P < 0.05). Patients in the poor nutritional status group (CONUT score > 6 points) had worse OS compared with that in the normal nutritional status group in the overall cohort of advanced DLBCL. Subgroup analysis revealed that among patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-performance status (ECOG PS) score < 2 points, IPI low-intermediate risk, IPI intermediate-high risk, NCCN-IPI low-intermediate risk, and NCCN-IPI intermediate-high risk, the patients in the poor nutritional status group (CONUT score > 6 points) had worse OS compared with that in the normal nutritional status group (CONUT score ≤ 6 points) (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:CONUT score has a certain value in the assessment of the prognosis of patients with advanced DLBCL, and its predictive efficacy is further improved when combined with IPI and NCCN-IPI.
