Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), also known as hyperactivity disorder in children, is a behavioral disorder commonly found in children, particularly preschool-aged children. This disorder can lead to cognitive impairment, learning difficulties, conduct disorders, and other mental health issues, severely impacting the quality of life for affected children. Moreover, the global prevalence of ADHD continues to rise. Establishing an animal model that closely aligns with clinical symptoms and the pathogenesis of the disease is crucial for advancing research on the prevention and treatment of ADHD. In recent years, research on animal models of ADHD has rapidly developed. Researchers have developed nearly 20 animal models from genetic and environmental perspectives. However, most of these models are still in the exploratory stage, and there is insufficient research to thoroughly investigate their pathogenesis, core characteristics, and drug effects. The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) is currently the most commonly used animal model for ADHD because of its excellent face validity and developmental stage that better corresponds to childhood. In addition, dopamine transporter (DAT) knockout mice, LPHN3 knockout rats, and neonatal rat hypoxia models have also shown good face validity. Some researchers have injected SHRs with daily doses of levothyroxine sodium, which not only induces typical ADHD symptoms in the rats but also exhibits signs of Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity, which successfully simulates the Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity syndrome type of ADHD, providing a new approach for constructing and evaluating ADHD animal models that combine both traditional Chinese and western medicine. This article reviewed ADHD animal models reported in China and abroad over the past decade, summarized rodent models of ADHD into three major categories: genetic models, chemically induced models, and environmentally induced models, and analyzed each category to provide a reference for selecting and exploring appropriate models for experimental ADHD research.

Objective To investigate the impact of cardiomyocyte ferroptosis on acute myocardial infarction(AMI)and its relationship with the expression of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)GAS5.Methods An AMI model was established in eighteen male SD rats(6-8 weeks old),and then the subjected rats were randomly divided into blank control group,sham operation group,and model group,6 animals in each group.In 2 weeks after surgery,echocardiography was used to evaluate heart function,and TTC staining,HE staining and TUNEL staining were employed re-spectively to observe myocardial infarct area,histopathological changes of myocardial tissues and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes.Serum Fe2+concentration was measured with an iron ion detection kit.The expression levels of lncRNA GAS5,nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2(Nrf2),and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)in myocardial tissues were detected with QT-PCR.Linear corre-lation analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between the expression of lncRNA GAS5,Nrf2 and GPX4 with Fe2+concentration.Western blotting was conducted for the protein levels of ferroptosis-related proteins,glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2(Nrf2),glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78),and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 12(Caspase-12)in myocardial tissues.Results Western blotting revealed obvious in-creases in the protein levels of ferroptosis related proteins GRP78(1.11±0.13 vs 0.51±0.08,P<0.01)and Caspase-12(1.23±0.05 vs 0.92±0.07,P<0.05)and a decrease in those of ferroptosis inhibitor GPX4(0.27±0.11 vs 0.68±0.10,P<0.01)and Nrf2(0.30±0.12 vs 0.58±0.04,P<0.05)in the model group than the sham operation group.Additionally,QT-PCR showed that the mRNA levels of GPX4 and Nrf2 were notably lower,indicating cardiomyocyte ferroptosis,while that of lncRNA GAS5 was remarkably higher in the myocardial tissues of the model group than the sham operation group(P<0.01).What's more,the expression of lncRNA GAS5 had a positive correlation with serum Fe2+concentration(P<0.05).Conclusion AMI is closely associated with cardiomyocyte ferroptosis.lncRNA GAS5 is involved in the regulation of ferroptosis by Nrf2/GPX4 signaling pathway,which thus mediating the occurrence of heart failure after AMI.

Objective:To explore the application value and treatment effects of multiple free anterolateral perforator flaps of calf for reconstruction of multiple digital wounds in single hand.Methods:From August 2020 to March 2022, 12 patients with soft tissue defects in 35 digits were treated in Department of Hand Surgery, Suzhou Ruihua Orthopaedic Hospital. Ten patients were male and 2 were female, aged 25 to 58 years old. Of the patients, 1 had soft tissue defects in 5 digits, 3 in 4 digits, 2 in 3 digits and 6 in 2 digits. The size of defects was from 1.2 cm ×1.2 cm to 7.0 cm×3.5 cm after debridement. The vascular perforators discovered from intraoperative explorations were found originating from the superficial peroneal artery in 24 flaps, from the peroneal artery in 7 flaps and from the anterior tibial artery in 4 flaps. During surgery, the perforator artery and accompanying veins of the flaps were anastomosed with the proper digital artery and palmar or dorsal subcutaneous veins in the recipient site, respectively. The size of the flaps was from 1.5 cm×1.5 cm to 7.5 cm×4.0 cm. No nerve was affected in the surgery. The wound at donor sites in the calf was sutured directly. Regular postoperative follow-ups were conducted at outpatient clinics. The comprehensive evaluation scale of flap was used to assess the conditions of the donor and recipient sites.Results:In this study, all 35 soft tissue defects of digits in 12 patients were reconstructed by the anterolateral perforator flaps of calf. All the 35 flaps survived after surgery, with a 100% of survival rate. The patients were instructed to carry out early functional training after surgery. Follow-up lasted 6 to 24 months, with an average of 11 months. Twenty-five flaps were found in slightly swollen, and further flap thinning surgery were carried out 3 months after the primary surgery, while the rest of the flaps had good appearance and texture. At 6 months after surgery, all flaps recovered a partial deep and shallow sensory and sense of touch. All wound at donor sites in calf had one-stage healing without dysfunction. The comprehensive evaluation scale was excellent in 28 flaps and good in 7 flaps. The excellent and good rate was 100%.Conclusion:It is an effective method to use multiple free anterolateral perforator flaps of calf to reconstruct multiple digit defects in single hand. The flaps can be conveniently harvested and the multiple digital defects in single hand can be reconstructed in primary surgery with small damages to the donor sites and together with satisfactory clinical outcomes.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Jianpi Yangzheng Xiaozheng decoction (JYXD) on the proliferation and stemness of the human gastric cancer (GC) cell line HGC-27 by inhibiting aerobic glycolysis, and explore the underlying mechanism. MethodMethyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was employed to determine the survival rate and chemotherapy sensitivity of HGC-27 cells treated with JYXD (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 g·L-1). Colony formation assay was employed to detect the effect of JYXD (2, 4, 8 g·L-1) on the colony formation of the cells. The aerobic glycolysis level of HGC-27 cells after treatment with JYXD was measured by glucose assay kit and lactic acid assay kit. The proportion of stem cell subsets in HGC-27 cells was detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was employed to determine the expression of glycolysis-associated proteins such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), hexokinase 2 (HK2), glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), and pyruvate kinase isozyme M2 (PKM2), and the expression of stemness-associated proteins such as octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4), SRY-box transcription factor 2 (SOX2), and Nanog. ResultJYXD (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 g·L-1) inhibited the activity of HGC-27 cells (P<0.05, P<0.01), with the inhibitory concentration 50(IC50) of 4.83 g·L-1, and it improved the sensitivity of HGC-27 cells to cisplatin chemotherapy. Compared with the control group, JYXD (2, 4, 8 g·L-1) reduced the colony formation number of HGC-27 cells (P<0.01) in a concentration-dependent manner. Flow cytometry showed that compared with that in the control group, the proportion of CD44+CD24+ALDH+ population in the cells treated with JYXD (2, 4, 8 g·L-1) decreased (P<0.05). In addition, JYXD (2, 4, 8 g·L-1) inhibited the glucose uptake and lactic acid production of HGC-27 cells. Western blot showed that compared with the control group, JYXD (2, 4, 8 g·L-1) down-regulated the expression levels of SOX2, Nanog, OCT4, PKM2, LDH, GLUT1, and HK2 (P<0.05, P<0.01) in a concentration-dependent manner. ConclusionJYXD may inhibit the proliferation and reduce the stemness of HGC-27 cells by regulating the aerobic glycolysis.
