ObjectiveBased on a new method for animal model evaluation, this study aims to analyze the characteristics of diseases and syndromes of existing animal models of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medical perspectives and propose suggestions for improvement. MethodsA systematic search of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and PubMed was conducted for literature on ADHD animal models. According to TCM and western medical diagnostic criteria, core and accompanying symptoms of the models were assigned with scores to comprehensively evaluate the clinical consistency. ResultsThe selection of experimental animals for ADHD models primarily involved rodents, with modeling methods including genetic, chemical induction, and environmental induction. The average consistency of clinical diseases and syndromes with TCM and western medicine was 45.19% and 49.42%, respectively. The spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats and nicotine/smoking models had the highest consistency with TCM, while the social isolation models had the highest consistency with western medicine. Most models were guided by western medicine theories, which can meet the surface validity and structural validity requirements of western medicine but lacked precise differentiation of TCM syndromes. ConclusionExisting ADHD animal models primarily focus on a single genotype or environmental factor, lacking comprehensive consideration of multigenic interactions and environmental factors. Moreover, the selection of model evaluation indicators is relatively singular, primarily focusing on "disease" indicators, while TCM "syndrome" indicators have not been fully considered. It is recommended to introduce a "formula-to-syndrome" approach in the preparation of TCM models for ADHD and establish and improve an evaluation system of animal models combining diseases and syndromes, so as to provide a solid foundation for future experimental research.

BACKGROUND: Myogenetic seed cells are the fundamental for construction of tissue-engineered smooth muscle, and optimizing the amplification of seed cells is the key in further clinical application. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the myogenetic potential of rabbit adipose-derived stromal cells induced with the combination of MyoD, transforming growth factor β1 and 5-azacytidine, and to investigate a new way to induce cells. METHODS: The rabbit abdominal fats were isolated and then the adipose-derived stromal cells were separated by col agenase digestion method for myogenetic induction with different methods: 5-azacytidine induction group, MyoD+transforming growth factor β1 induction group, 5-azacytidine+MyoD+transforming growth factor β1 combination induction group. The blank control group was set. The morphological characteristics of cells were observed at 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 days after induction, and the col agen type Ⅲ level were detected with 4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the other groups, the cel activity was higher in the combination induction group and reached peak at 16 days after induction, the number and volume of myotubes were increased at 20 days with regular arrangement, and desmin showed strong expression. Cel cycle showed the ratio of adipose-derived stromal cells in the DNA replication phase was increased in the combination induction group, the ratio of cells in the clearance period was decreased; the level of col agen type Ⅲ was increased significantly, and the difference was significant. The results indicate that 5-azacytidine combined with multiple factors can promote the differentiation of adipose-derived stromal cells into myoblasts with significant cel proliferation, which is considered as the ideal method to in vitro induction of myoblasts.

The migration-time in transient isotachophoresis (tITP) separation is affected by sample salinity as the dependence of ITP time on sample-zone conductivity.The sample-to-sample variation of migration-time in microchip tITP-CGE analysis is an undesired factor for precise DNA sizing.In this work, a DNA sizing method that based on relative migration-time proportion (RMP) was developed to eliminate the effect of sample salinity on sizing precision.RMP was defined as the ratio of the migration-time difference between the target fragment and the lower marker to that between the upper marker and the lower marker.The RMP values were tested to be reproducible in microchip tITP-CGE separations irrespective of sample salinity.Size of a target DNA was predicted by fitting its RMP value to the equation derived from RMPs of standard DNA ladder vs.DNA sizes.The precision and reproducibility of the sizing method were validated testing multiple standard PCR amplicons.Experimental results showed that the RMP method is simple and reliable, thus well suited to precise DNA sizing with microchip tITP-CGE analysis.

Objective To develop a phenylketonuria (PKU) screening method based on a compact disk (CD) type microfluidic chip capable of generating reciprocating flow within the microchannels that facilitate rapid DNA hybridization. Methods This microfluidic device consists of a two-layer structure: a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) top layer containing 12 DNA hybridization microchannels, and a bottom glass layer with immobilized hydrogel conjugated DNA arrays. The DNA arrays included R243Q, V245V and the blank control probes. When the CD device was spun, the PCR products were driven into the hybridization channel by centrifugal force. When the rotation of the CD device was stopped, capillary force pulled the PCR products solution to flow back to the channel. After the on-chip hybridization, the hybridization signals were captured on a fluorescence microscope. The specificity, detection limitation and reproducibility of this device were evaluated. Thirty DNA samples from pregnant women with suspected PKU were detected by this device.Then the results were compared with DNA sequencing results. Results With the compact disk type microfluidic chip, the hybridization time could be reduced to 15 min, sample consume could be as low as 1. 5 μl and the detection limitation was 0. 7 ng/μl. With the chip based method, samples of PKU patients and healthy controls were detected and the results were consistent with DNA sequencing results. Five different batches of chips and five micro-channels of each chip were selected to test one PKU patients with V245V mutation. All the results were positive, indicating good reproducibility. Four cases of V245V mutation and 1 case of R243Q mutation were found in 30 suspected PKU carried pregnant women. Conclusion The compact disk microfluidic device has advantages of simple, rapid and highly sensitive, thus is well suited to PKU screening.
