Analysis of Animal Models of Cholecystitis Based on the Clinical Characteristics in Chinese and Western Medicine
In this paper,we analyzed the diagnostic criteria and clinical manifestations of cholecystitis and summarized the methods for animal mod-eling and the characteristics.Moreover,we dissected whether the commonly used animal models had the clinical characteristics of this disease in Chinese and western medicine based on clinical diagnostic criteria,pathological characteristics,pathogenesis,and syndrome differentiation,hoping to clarify their advantages,disadvantages,and application prospects.There are many animal models of cholecystitis,which reflect the pathogenesis to a certain extent but fail to fully demonstrate the clinical manifestations of this disease.Therefore,efforts should be made to fur-ther explore the modeling methods so that the models can reflect both the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of cholecystitis(i.e.,ani-mal models with the clinical characteristics of the disease)and thus promote the clinical treatment of this disease.
