ObjectiveRetinal vein occlusion （RVO） is the second most common vascular disease leading to vision loss. Since its pathogenesis remains unclear， current Western medical treatments primarily target complications such as macular edema and neovascularization. The main therapeutic approaches include intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） agents or corticosteroids， laser photocoagulation， and pars plana vitrectomy. However， these treatments cannot fully reverse disease progression or structural damage. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has unique advantages in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of RVO， and integrated Chinese and Western medicine approaches may offer better clinical outcomes. This study， based on the clinical manifestations of RVO， systematically reviews the existing literature and evaluates the alignment of current RVO animal models with clinical manifestations. The aim is to identify the characteristics and limitations of existing models and provide recommendations and prospects for developing RVO animal models featuring the combination of disease and syndrome. MethodsDatabases including CNKI， Wanfang Data， PubMed， and Web of Science were searched with the keywords of "retinal vein occlusion" and "animal model". Model characteristics were assessed based on the diagnostic criteria for diseases and syndromes in both TCM and Western medicine. The alignment of each model with clinical manifestations was analyzed and evaluated. ResultsThe available RVO models were primarily established via methods such as laser photocoagulation， photodynamic therapy， diathermy， intravitreal drug injection， and mechanical modeling. These models demonstrated moderate overall alignment with clinical manifestations， mainly reflecting disease characteristics. However， they generally lack representation of TCM syndrome features. ConclusionExisting RVO models are predominantly based on Western medicine and lack TCM syndrome features. Western medical treatments for RVO have certain limitations， while syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM offer potential advantages. Future research should focus on developing disease-syndrome integrated animal models that incorporate both pathological features and TCM syndrome characteristics. This approach will enhance the design of RVO models and facilitate both basic and clinical research， which make it a scientifically valuable and necessary endeavor.

Objective To evaluate the effect of optical body surface monitoring system(OSMS)in setup of intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)for thoracic tumorsand to analyze its relationship with BMI.Methods Thesetup errors of CBCT and location CT with body membrane and the registration errors of OSMS and first body surface reference image without body membrane were obtained in 49 patients with thoracic tumor who received routine intensity modulated radiotherapy.The paired t-test was used to analyze the difference of registration errors between the two image guidance methods.Pearson′s correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between CBCT errors and OSMS errors,and Bland-Altman analysis was employed to evaluatethe agreement of the two errors.The correlation and consistency of the two registration errors in patients with different BMI index were analyzed.PTV external marginsby the two registration methods were calculated using Van Herk formula.Results The OSMS and CBCT groups demonstrated significant differences in setup errors in the ventrodorsal direction(P<0.05),while no significant differences were found in the left-right,head-foot translation directions,or RTN rota-tion directions(P>0.05).Although the two methods showed a significant correlation in setup errors(P<0.05),this correlation was only moderate in the head-foot and left-right directions(r=0.500,0.408),weak in the RTN rotation direction(r=0.339),and very weak in the ventrodorsal direction(r=0.152).The limits of agreement(LOA,95％CI)between the two methods were[-0.45,0.45]cm in the left-right direction,[-0.59,0.57]cm in the head-foot direction,and[-0.48,0.40]cm in the ventrodorsal direction,with(-2.08°～2.19°)in the RTN rotation direction.Different BMI levels influenced the results of the two registration methods,particularly in patients with a BMI of 18.5～23.9 kg/m2.In this group,OSMS and CBCT exhibited a strong correlation in the head-foot direction(r=0.731),a moderate correlation in the left-right direction(r=0.512),and weak correlations in the ventrodorsal and RTN rotation directions(r=0.345,0.267).The absolute difference in setup errors between the two imaging systems was 0.4～0.5 cm/2°.Using CBCT and OSMS image guidance,the margins in the left-right,head-foot,and ventrodorsal directions were[0.5 cm,0.7 cm,0.3 cm]for CBCT,and[0.5 cm,0.7 cm,0.5 cm]for OSMS.Conclusion In chest tumor patients with a BMI of 18.5～23.9 kg/m2,OSMS and CBCT image guidance methods show good correlation in the head-foot and left-right directions,but their limits of agreement exceed the clinically acceptable range.OSMS cannot yet replace CBCT for image guidance in chest tumor intensity-modulated radiotherapy.Further improvements to tumor motion surrogates are necessary to enhance the accuracy of OSMS image guidance.

Objective To investigate the expression of AIF, CYT C, PAF-1, caspase-3, and XIAP in Sprague-Dawley rats with spontaneous mammary neoplasms.Methods One-hundred and thirty 3-4-week old SPF Spargue-Dawley rats (♀∶♂=1∶1) were fed in a specific pathogen free (SPF) breeding barrier for 60 weeks.The occurrence of spontane-ous breast tumors was recorded and histopathology was performed to identify the types of tumors.The rats were divided into 3 groups:rats with normal breast tissue ( group I) , with benign tumors ( group II) and with malignant tumors ( group III) . The expression of AIF, CYT C, APAF-1, caspase-3 and XIAP proteins and mRNAs were detected by immunhistochemistry ( IHC) and RT-PCR assay.Results Among these 130 SD rats, 14 rats were observed having spontaneous mammary neo-plasms with the incidence rate of 10.77%(14/130).In these neoplasm cases, 7 cases were mammary fibroadenomas, 7 cases of breast carcinoma, both with an incidence rate of 5.38%.Immunohistochemistry showed that, compared with the group I, the positive expressions of AIF, APAF-1, caspase-3 were decreased significantly (P<0.01), and the CYT C and XIAP expressions were significantly increased in the group II.The positive expression of all genes except XIAP was de-creased in the group III(P<0.01).Compared with the group II, APAF-1 and XIAP were significantly higher in the group III (P<0.01), and the positive expression of AIF, Cyt C, and caspases-3 were significantly decreased (P<0.01).In the results of RT-PCR assay, except APAF-1 which showed significant correlation with the results of immunohistochemistry ( P<0.05 ) , all the others showed an extremely significant correlation with immunohistochemical results ( P <0.01 ) . Conclusions Mammary tumors are most common spontaneous neoplasms in SD rats.Abnormal expression of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway-related factors AIF, CytC, APAF-1, caspase-3, and XIAP are correlated with the carcinogenesis and de-velopment of breast tumors.
