ABSTRACT
This paper aimed to analyze the existing acne animal model based on the characteristics of acne clinical symptoms between Chinese and western medicine, in order to provide reference for the establishment of the rational acne animal model. Relevant literatures at home and abroad in recent years were reviewed to summarize the research progress of diagnostic criteria and drug treatment of acne with Chinese and western medicine, and analyze the existing acne animal model. The animal acne models were pathological models, and mainly reflected the clinical indicators of western medicine. Their evaluation was based on western medicine standard, with the standard of Chinese medicine for reference. More improved ideas and methods to establish acne animal models based on clinical study were put forward, so as to establish the reasonable quantitative standard for acne animal model. Furthermore, the animal model based on the combination of disease and syndrome was formed to provide a reliable experimental method for further study of acne. Rational acne animal model shall be selected according to the pathogenesis of acne, in order to improve the consistency between animal model and clinical symptoms, and lay a foundation for further study of acne.
