As China has become the second largest market for medical devices in the world,the domestic medical device industry has been growing.As an important part of preclinical evaluation of medical devices,large animal research directly affects the research and application of medical devices.Large animals are widely used in the evaluation of safety and feasibility of medical devices because they are closer to humans in terms of body size,anatomical structure and physiological functions.In large animal experimental research,the selection of suitable experimental animals and the establishment of suitable animal disease models are the basis for ensuring the smooth progress of experiments.In this paper,the selection of experimental animals and the establishment of disease models in medical device large animal experimental research are systematically sorted out,and the existing problems and deficiencies are pointed out.

OBJECTIVES: Wild-caught Microtus fortis (M. fortis) at the age of 9-15 months can develop epithelial ovarian cancers similar to human epithelial ovarian cancers under natural conditions during experimental animal breeding, but its pathological types and biological characteristics remain unclear. This study aims to analyze the biological characteristics of spontaneous ovarian cancer in M. fortis, intending to develop M. fortis as an animal model for human epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS: The female M. fortis (9-15 months old) with spontaneous ovarian cancer were selected as the experimental group, and healthy M. fortis from the same litter were selected as the control group. The ovarian pathological changes of the two groups were observed by dissection. Blood routine and biochemical indicators were measured by biochemical analysis. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the pathological changes in the ovarian cancer tissue of M. fortis. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the protein expression of common ovarian cancer markers, and real-time RT-PCR was used to analyze the transcription levels of ovarian cancer-related genes. RESULTS: Spontaneous ovarian cancer in M. fortis mainly affects both ovaries, with tumors appearing solid or cystic. HE staining and histopathological analysis confirmed that the ovarian tumors originated from ovarian surface epithelium. Compared to the control group, the experimental group showed significantly decreased hemoglobin (P<0.01), hematocrit (P<0.05), albumin (P<0.05), and blood glucose levels (P<0.01), while lymphocyte percentage (P<0.05), monocyte percentage (P<0.05), cholesterol (P<0.01), and progesterone (P<0.01) levels were significantly increased. Expression of ovarian cancer-related genes, including ID3, CDC42, RHOA, RB1CC1, NF1, PIN1, MIB1, PDS5A, MCM7, and MLH1, was significantly downregulated (all P<0.05), while PAX8 gene expression was significantly upregulated (P<0.05). Immunohistochemical results showed that Wilms' tumor gene 1 (WT1) protein was mainly distributed throughout the cell, with significantly higher expression in ovarian cancer M. fortis. Tumor protein 53 (TP53) was expressed in both healthy and ovarian cancer M. fortis and was distributed throughout the cell. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 beta (HNF1B) and progesterone receptor (PR) protein were highly expressed in the ovarian tissue of healthy M. fortis but were significantly reduced in the ovarian cancer M. fortis, though both were located in the cytoplasm. CONCLUSIONS Spontaneous ovarian cancer in M. fortis is serous ovarian cancer. Compared to healthy M. fortis, significant differences were observed in ovarian tissue morphology, biochemical indicators, ovarian cancer-related gene expression, and protein expression, which show similarity to the biological characteristics of human serous ovarian cancer. This suggests that M. fortis could be an ideal animal model for studying human serous ovarian cancer.

Objective:To translate the Clinical Leadership Needs Analysis Instrument (CLeeNA) into Chinese and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The source scale was translated based on the Beaton translation model, and cultural debugging was completed through expert consultation and pre-surveys to form the Chinese version of CLeeNA. Convenience sampling was used to select 536 nurses from three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Anhui Province from August to December 2023 to conduct the survey and to verify the reliability and validity of the scale. A total of 536 questionnaires were distributed and 495 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.351% (495/536) .Results:The Chinese version of CLeeNA contained 43 entries in 7 dimensions of self and team development, staff and care delivery, technology and care initiatives, financial and service management, leadership and clinical practice, patient safety and risk management, and standards of care. The content validity index at the item level ranged from 0.800 to 1.000, and the content validity index at the scale level was 0.953. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 7 common factors with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 82.098%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit was acceptable. The total Cronbach's ɑ coefficient for the scale was 0.958, the folding coefficient was 0.898, and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.928.Conclusions:The Chinese version of CLeeNA has good reliability and validity, and can be used for measuring the clinical leadership needs of nurses.
