Attention deficit and hyperactive disorder （ADHD） is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder of childhood. It seriously impairs academic achievement， social interaction， and vocational development， and increases the risk of accidental injury and substance abuse. In some cases， the symptoms may also exert an indirect disruptive effect on public order. Its aetiology involves interactions among genetic， perinatal environmental， and psychosocial factors that cannot be fully disentangled by single clinical studies. Therefore， a systematic evaluation of existing animal models is essential for revealing pathophysiology and developing novel therapies. Using the keywords "attention deficit and hyperactive disorder"， "models， animal"， "validity"， and their English equivalents， we systematically searched PubMed， Web of Science， CNKI， and Wanfang for publications from 2000 to 2025 （retrieving 328 publications） and added further references by citation tracking. Eighty-six rodent ADHD models that provided detailed construction protocols， behavioural assessments， neurobiological mechanisms， or pharmacological data were included and classified into spontaneous genetic， genetically engineered， and environmentally induced paradigms. Their face， construct， and predictive validity were compared. Among spontaneous genetic models， spontaneously hypertensive rats reproduce hyperactivity， impulsivity， and stimulant responses well， yet hypertension and sex differences limit specificity. Acallosal mouse strains link corpus callosum absence to ADHD-like behaviours， but neurotransmitter studies remain scarce. Genetically engineered rodents—including dopamine transporter， neurokinin-1 receptor and mediator complex subunit 23 knockout or conditional gene knockout lines—precisely dissect dopaminergic， noradrenergic， synaptic， or epigenetic pathways， yet generally lack full phenotypic coverage， social-deficit modelling， and comorbidity representation， and are accompanied by adverse effects such as growth retardation or ocular defects. Environmentally induced models employ lead， polychlorinated biphenyls， alcohol， nicotine exposures， 6-hydroxydopamine lesions， neonatal hypoxia， early social isolation， or maternal stress to recapitulate core symptoms. However， dose-schedule standardisation is lacking. Behavioural reversibility diverges from clinical persistence， and non-specific phenotypes such as anxiety or depression are common. Overall， no single paradigm simultaneously achieves high validity across all three dimensions. Currently， ADHD models have progressed from single-factor simulations to multidimensional evaluation， yet significant gaps remain in genetic-background standardisation， sex differences， cross-species translation， and syndrome-differentiation modelling under traditional Chinese medicine. Future directions should integrate genetic， environmental， and epigenetic interactions， establish life-span validation systems， and incorporate computational neuroscience alongside integrative Chinese-Western strategies to enhance clinical relevance and translational utility， thereby providing robust evidence-based support for mechanistic elucidation， drug screening and precision intervention in ADHD.

ObjectiveThe malaria parasites remodel the host erythrocyte structure by exporting parasite proteins that interact with the membrane skeleton proteins of red blood cells (RBCs), facilitating their intracellular survival and pathogenicity. Skeleton-binding protein 1 (SBP1) is a conserved exported protein across Plasmodium species. In Plasmodium falciparum, SBP1 has been reported to interact with erythrocyte membrane skeleton proteins 4.1R and spectrin, while its contribution to erythrocyte remodeling and parasite virulence in Plasmodium berghei (Pb) remains unclear. This study aims to determine whether PbSBP1 associates with the host cytoskeletal protein 4.1R and to investigate its role in the remodeling of host RBCs and the pathogenicity of Plasmodium berghei. MethodsIn Plasmodium berghei, the relationship between PbSBP1 and the erythrocyte cytoskeletal protein 4.1R was examined using co-immunoprecipitation. A Pbsbp1 gene knockout mutant of Plasmodium berghei (Pbsbp1∆) was generated based on the principle of double crossover homologous recombination. The deformability of erythrocytes infected with Pbsbp1∆ parasites was assessed using microfluidic methods. Microchannels with an array of cylindrical pillars were used to detect modifications in infected RBC deformability. The infected RBCs were squashed between the rows and recovered between the columns and the transit velocity (μm/s) of infected RBCs travelling through the microchannel was recorded. The component of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton junctional complex, tropomodulin (TMOD), was fluorescently labeled, and the cytoskeletal network of infected erythrocytes was imaged using super-resolution stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) to analyze ultrastructural changes in the cytoskeleton of wild-type (WT) and Pbsbp1∆-infected erythrocytes. Actin-based junctional complexes were displayed as individual clusters by the labeled TMOD in the STORM images, and the cluster densities and distances between adjacent clusters of infected RBCs were calculated. Additionally, rodent malaria models (BALB/c mice) and experimental cerebral malaria models (C57BL/6 mice) were employed to monitor the growth of Pbsbp1∆ and WT parasites during the intraerythrocytic stage and their capacity to induce cerebral malaria in mice. ResultsPbSBP1 may participate in the remodeling of infected erythrocytes through direct or indirect interaction with the erythrocyte cytoskeletal protein 4.1R. Microfluidic assays revealed that the deformability of erythrocytes infected with Pbsbp1∆ parasites was significantly enhanced compared to those infected with WT parasites. STORM imaging further demonstrated that the ultrastructure of the erythrocyte cytoskeleton in Pbsbp1∆-infected cells was altered relative to that in WT-infected erythrocytes. The distances between nearest neighbors of clusters had a tendency to increase while the cluster densities were decreased in Pbsbp1∆-infected RBCs compared to WT-infected RBCs. Subsequent phenotypic analysis indicated that the growth rate of Pbsbp1∆ parasites during the intraerythrocytic stage was significantly slower than that of WT parasites, and their ability to induce cerebral malaria in mice was also attenuated. These findings suggest that PbSBP1 is involved in the remodeling of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton, likely through its direct or indirect interaction with protein 4.1R, thereby regulating the deformability of infected erythrocytes and influencing the pathogenicity of the blood-stage parasites. ConclusionThis study establishes a role for PbSBP1 in host erythrocyte remodeling and parasite virulence, providing new research strategies for the prevention and treatment of malaria.

The brain-gut interaction theory is a multidimensional integrative concept based on the brain-gut axis， involving neural， endocrine， and immune regulatory networks as well as the gut microbiota. Zang-fu organs （脏腑） theory in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） shows a high degree of consistency with the brain-gut interaction theory， and the core functions such as the spleen and stomach governing the ascending of the clear and descending of the turbid， the liver governing the free flow of qi， and the heart governing mental and emotional activities are closely associated with the multi-level regulatory mechanisms of the brain-gut axis. TCM therapy can modulate brain-gut interactions through multiple pathways in the treatment of spleen and stomach diseases， including the regulation of gastrointestinal hormone secretion， neurotransmitter levels， the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal （HPA） axis， immune homeostasis and inflammatory responses， as well as the gut microecology. However， current basic research on the brain-gut interaction theory in TCM for spleen and stomach diseases still faces several challenges， such as difficulties in integrating TCM spleen-stomach theory with modern pathophysiology， lack of innovation in research concepts， and limitations in research methodologies. It is therefore proposed that multidisciplinary collaboration， multi-omics technologies， and targeted research approaches should be adopted to provide more comprehensive methods for basic research on TCM spleen and stomach diseases， thereby promoting the in-depth development of brain-gut interaction theory.

ObjectiveTo investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects of Qingfei Paidu decoction (QFPDD) on acute lung injury (ALI) in mice and its underlying molecular mechanisms based on miRNA sequencing technology. MethodsTwenty-four 4-week-old male KM mice were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, and a QFPDD group (n = 8 per group). After one week of acclimatization, mice in the control and model groups were intragastrically administered ultrapure water (0.2 mL per dose), whereas mice in the QFPDD group were intragastrically administered QFPDD (1.6 g crude drug/mL, 0.2 mL per dose), twice daily for 8 consecutive days. On days 2–8, mice in the model and QFPDD groups were exposed to aerosolized lipopolysaccharide (LPS) solution (2.5 g/L, 4 mL per exposure) for 7 consecutive days. On day 9, blood was collected via the retro-orbital venous plexus under deep anesthesia, and lung tissues were harvested. Body weight and lung weight were measured, and the lung coefficient was calculated. Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. Lung histopathological changes were observed by HE staining of paraffin-embedded sections. miRNA expression profiles in lung tissues were analyzed using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing platform. Target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted using bioinformatics databases, and functional enrichment analysis of these target genes was performed using gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases. Differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed a consistent body weight growth trend but a significantly increased lung coefficient (P < 0.01). ELISA results showed that serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly elevated in the model group compared with the control group (P < 0.01), whereas QFPDD treatment significantly reduced serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels compared with the model group (P < 0.05). HE staining showed that, compared with the control group, the model group exhibited widened alveolar septa, massive inflammatory cell infiltration, partial alveolar expansion, and mild capillary dilation with congestion. In contrast, the QFPDD group showed only slightly widened alveolar septa and mild inflammatory cell infiltration compared with the model group. Intersection analysis of miRNA sequencing data identified 13 differentially expressed miRNAs common to both the model vs. control and QFPDD vs. model comparisons. Among them, 6 miRNAs (mmu-miR-203-3p, mmu-miR-181b-5p_R-1, hsa-miR-4286_R+1, mmu-miR-1843b-5p_L+1R-1_2, mmu-miR-22-3p, and mmu-miR-1964-3p) were significantly up-regulated in the model group (P < 0.05) and significantly down-regulated after QFPDD treatment (P < 0.05), showing a therapeutic reversal trend. GO analysis revealed that the target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly enriched in biological processes such as RNA polymerase Ⅱ transcriptional regulation. KEGG analysis indicated that target genes were mainly enriched in signaling pathways including the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. RT-qPCR validation result for mmu-miR-203-3p was consistent with the sequencing analysis results. ConclusionQFPDD may exert preventive and therapeutic effects against ALI by regulating the expression of mmu-miR-203-3p and other miRNAs, thereby modulating inflammatory responses and the MAPK signaling pathway and participating in the pathological process of lung injury.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Kaixin San(KXS)combined with fluoxetine on hippocampal neural stem cells in mice with chronic stress stress and depression.Methods A mouse model of depression was constructed using the method of chronic unpredictable stress stress,and the highest dose of KXS water extract and fluoxetine for clinical application was given for 28 days,and behavioral tests were carried out.Nissl staining was used to detect the pathological status of hippocampal tissues in mice.The expression of TUNEL and Nestin in mouse hippocampus was determined by immunofluorescence.Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of apoptotic proteins cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3,pyroptosis proteins GSDMD and cleaved caspase-1,as well as the expression of neural stem cell marker Nestin in the hippocampus,and the expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related proteins in the hippocampus.Results The combination of KXS extract and fluoxetine can significantly improve the depression-like behavior of model mice,and the effect is better than fluoxetine alone.The combination inhibited the activation of apoptosis and pyroptosis signaling pathways in the hippocampus when used alone with high-dose fluoxetine,significantly upregulated the expression of Nestin,and regulated the expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway protein.Conclusion The combination of KXS and high-dose fluoxetine can improve apoptosis and pyroptosis in the hippocampus of stress stress and depression model mice,and upregulate the expression of neural stem cell marker Nestin by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,which may be a key link to improve the antidepressant effect of the combination drug.
