ABSTRACT
Chronic fatigue syndrome （CFS） is a heterogeneous disease with dysfunction in multiple systems and multiple organs. Its etiology and pathogenesis have not been fully clarified， and its treatment also lacks specificity. The key to studying CFS is developing animal models that reflect the underlying mechanisms and etiology of CFS. The existing CFS modeling methods are complicated and not unified. By sorting out relevant literature，the present study evaluated the modeling methods，modeling standards，mechanisms， and clinical coincidence of the immune model，the stress model， and the disease-syndrome combination model in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The immune model is mainly constructed from the perspective of pathophysiology， with easy operation and wide investigation， which can simulate the pathological characteristics of CFS to ensure pathogenesis research，but the experimental repeatability is general. Stress modeling is a common method for a variety of neuropsychiatric diseases，including CFS. Many different stressors can be employed to investigate the etiology of CFS， but their effects are unpredictable. Compared with the two western medicine models mentioned above，the TCM disease-syndrome combination model integrates modern medicine with TCM theory，with high clinical coincidence and great practical value. However，the TCM disease-syndrome combination model of CFS is still in the exploratory stage with a few types of models，which needs to be further improved， aiming to establish scientific，reasonable，simple， and efficient animal models to provide support for exploring the etiology，pathogenesis， and new treatment ideas of CFS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese Version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-11) in patients receiving total knee arthroplasty. Methods The Chinese ver-sion of TSK-11 was translated from the original one,and adjusted for cultural adaptation. The reliability and validity of Chinese TSK-11 were tested among 254 eligible patients receiving total knee arthroplasty from a tertiary hospital in Henan province by convenience sampling. Results Three common factors which ex-plained 65. 177% of the total variance was extracted after the exploratory factor analysis,and each item had high factor loading quantity (>0. 4). The scale CVI was 0. 83~1. 00,the S-CVI/UA and S-CVI/Ave were 0. 91 and 0. 94,respectively. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0. 883,and the test-retest reliabil-ity was 0. 798. The item-to-total correlations ranged from 0. 424~0. 757 (P<0. 05). Conclusion The Chi-nese version of TSK-11 has been proved to be reliable and valid with fewer understandable items,and short completion time. It can be used as a valuable tool for evaluating kinesiophobia in patients following total knee arthroplasty.
