Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as one of the three major causes of death, is a complex systemic disease with high prevalence, high mortality, high disability, frequent acute exacerbations, and a variety of pulmonary complications. The pathogenesis is complex. Western medicine has no effective specificity scheme for a complete cure. However, multiple-component and multiple-target characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) demonstrate significant advantages in COPD treatment through multi-link, multi-pathway, and multi-mechanism intervention. Therefore, exploring the essence of COPD pathogenesis and discovering effective TCM treatment drugs through the application of TCM principles and prescriptions is a key focus of modern research. Animal models are of paramount importance in medical research. It is the first consideration to select appropriate animals, adopt reasonable modeling methods to replicate stable animal models that closely resemble the clinical manifestations and pathophysiological characteristics of COPD, and use appropriate evaluation methods to determine the success of COPD animal models in experimental research. The core of experimental research lies in observing the intervention effect of TCM on COPD animal models, exploring the specific pathways and regulatory mechanisms of TCM on COPD disease, and finding TCM monomers, single herbs, and TCM formulas with definite curative effects. At present, animal model research on COPD mainly involves model establishment, model evaluation, efficacy observation, mechanism exploration, and other aspects. In recent years, there has been no systematic organization, update, and reflection on the relevant research on TCM intervention in COPD animal models. This study reviewed the selection of animals for the COPD model, methods for establishing COPD animal models, model evaluation methods, and the intervention effects of TCM on COPD animal models. It aims to grasp the current research status and identify existing problems for further improvement, in order to provide evidence and support for scientific research and clinical treatment of COPD.

ObjectiveTo analyze the etiological characteristics and risk factors of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) complicated with urinary tract infection (UTI). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 244 patients with ADPKD admitted to the Department of Nephrology. The patients were stratified into a study group (n=138) and a control group (n=106) according to the presence or absence of concurrent UTI. All patients in the study group underwent etiological testing and drug susceptibility testing. Clinical data of both groups were collected to identify the risk factors for ADPKD complicated with UTI. ResultsA total of 105 pathogens were detected in 138 cases in the study group, including 79 Gram-negative bacteria, 20 Gram-positive bacteria and 6 fungi. Escherichia coli showed a relatively high resistance rate to ampicillin, piperacillin and ciprofloxacin. Enterococcus faecalis had a relatively high resistance rate to tetracycline. There were statistically significant differences between the study group and the control group in terms of gender, history of urinary tract infection, C-reactive protein (CRP), increased urine red blood cells, increased urine white blood cells, increased percentage of neutrophils, blood sodium, blood calcium, total cholesterol, serum iron and transferrin saturation (P<0.05). Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that female gender (OR=2.236, P=0.004), history of urinary tract infection (OR=2.383, P=0.002), increased urine white blood cells (OR=2.726, P=0.001), increased percentage of neutrophils (OR=1.040, P=0.010), elevated C-reactive protein (OR=1.011, P=0.007) and elevated blood calcium (OR=4.389, P=0.024) were risk factors of urinary tract infection in ADPKD patients (P<0.05). ConclusionThe main pathogens of UTI in patients with ADPKD are Gram-negative bacteria. Female, previous history of urinary tract infection, urinary leukocytosis, increased percentage of neutrophils, increased CRP and increased serum calcium are risk factors of UTI.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and homocysteine (Hcy) levels, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and serum lipid levels [triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels] with ulcerative colitis.Methods:The clinical data of 98 patients with ulcerative colitis admitted to Bayannur Hospital from November 2021 to November 2023 (observation group) were retrospectively analyzed. Forty-nine healthy individuals who were selected at a 2:1 ratio during the same period were included in the control group. Serum IL-6 and Hcy levels, MLR, and lipid levels were compared between the two groups. The diagnostic efficacy of serum IL-6, Hcy, MLR, and lipid levels for ulcerative colitis was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Additionally, Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to analyze correlation of serum IL-6 and Hcy levels, MLR, and lipid levels with ulcerative colitis.Results:In the observation group, serum IL-6 and Hcy levels and MLR were (39.87 ± 12.36) pg/mL, (13.01 ± 3.52) μmol/L, and (0.38 ± 0.12), respectively, all of which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(22.3 ± 3.26) pg/mL, (10.05 ± 3.26) μmol/L, (0.29 ± 0.08), t = 9.77, 4.92, 4.78, all P < 0.05]. In the observation group, serum levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels were (1.16 ± 0.32) mmol/L, (4.12 ± 1.15) mmol/L, (2.60 ± 0.75) mmol/L, and (1.02 ± 0.17) mmol/L, respectively, all of which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(1.45 ± 0.41) mmol/L, (4.91 ± 0.99) mmol/L, (3.20 ± 0.71) mmol/L, (1.13 ± 0.16) mmol/L, t = 4.71, 4.11, 4.65, 3.77, all P < 0.05]. ROC curve analysis indicated that the areas under the curve (AUC) for diagnosing ulcerative colitis based on serum levels of IL-6, Hcy, MLR, TG, TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C were 0.957, 0.749, 0.746, 0.732, 0.678, 0.722, and 0.681, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum levels of IL-6, Hcy, MLR, TG, TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C were all correlated with the severity of ulcerative colitis in patients ( r = 0.501, 0.615, 0.605, -0.577, -0.542, -0.548, -0.646, all P < 0.05). Additionally, serum levels of IL-6, Hcy, and MLR were negatively correlated with lipid levels ( r = -0.806, -0.801, -0.791, -0.649, -0.728, -0.671, -0.720, -0.655, -0.857, -0.877, -0.889, -0.583, all P < 0.05). Conclusions:In patients with ulcerative colitis, serum levels of IL-6, Hcy, and MLR are elevated, while lipid levels are decreased. Additionally, serum levels of IL-6, Hcy, MLR, and lipid levels are associated with the severity of the disease. There is also a correlation between serum levels of IL-6, Hcy, MLR, and lipid levels.
