Research Progress on the Construction and Evaluation of Animal Models of TCM Heat Syndrome
Syndrome differentiation and treatment is the main feature of TCM.The"syndrome"reflects the essence of pathology at different stages in the occurrence and development of diseases.Establishing a syndrome model for corresponding diseases is of great value in exploring the essence of syndrome and exploring the standardization,objectivity,and scientificity of TCM research."Heat syndrome"is a highly representative basic syndrome type in TCM,and the preparation and development of animal models combining disease and syndrome are particularly important for pharmacological experimental research,research on the essence of cold and heat syndrome,and the development of animal models combining with TCM disease and syndrome.This article provided a comprehensive review of the current status and research progress in the preparation of animal models for TCM heat syndrome from the perspectives of model preparation methods and objective indicator evaluation.
