AI Article Synopsis

  • The text analyzes the effectiveness of various animal models used to study atopic dermatitis (AD) in both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine, highlighting how well these models reflect clinical symptoms.
  • It discusses the strengths and weaknesses of different modeling methods, noting that while some models are consistent with AD characteristics, they may be costly and not fully capture the disease’s progression.
  • The study suggests that integrating insights from both TCM and Western medicine could enhance the development of more accurate animal models for AD research.

Article Abstract

Based on the clinical characteristics of atopic dermatitis( AD) in traditional Chinese medicine( TCM) and Western medicine,the existing animal models were analyzed,and the coincidence degree,advantages and disadvantages between the models and the clinical manifestations of AD were evaluated,so as to provide reference for establishing a rational animal model. After consulting relevant literatures in recent years and summarizing the existing modeling methods,it is found that spontaneous,transgenic/gene knockout models were highly consistent,but with high breeding conditions and expensive prices. The hapten-induced model was low in cost and fast in modeling. It revealed the corresponding mechanism of AD to a certain extent,but did not fully reflect the state of the entire process of AD. The modeling method was guided by Western medicine,but with a lack of pathogenic factors of traditional Chinese medicine,and so has certain limitations in TCM research. Therefore,it is necessary to combine the etiology,pathogenesis and clinical mani-festations of AD with traditional Chinese and Western medicine,so as to improve the coincidence degree between the model and the characteristics of clinical symptoms and lay the foundation for in-depth studies on AD.
