RESUMEN
According to different experimental methods of induced diabetic retinopathy (DR) and different characteristics of the observed retinopathy, DR animal models can be divided into drug or dietary-induced models, oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) models, spontaneous inheritance models, and transgenic models. At present, induced model is one of the most commonly used animal model for DR study, which has the advantages of short modeling cycle, low cost, simple experimental operation and good repeatability. However, the drugs have certain side effects on various organs of animals and the risk of animal death is higher. OIR model has good repeatability, good stability and relatively low cost. However, due to the lack of metabolic changes of hyperglycemia in OIR mice, this model cannot accurately reflect the effects of metabolism on retina under hyperglycemia. The pathological changes of the spontaneous model are relatively stable, however, the application of this model is limited because the genetic homogeneity of diabetes differs from that of human and the cost is high. Transgenic model has definite etiology, however, its application is limited owing to the high cost and the high requirements of technology, operation and equipment. Therefore, researchers should comprehensively consider characteristics and limitations of different models while choosing suitable DR model based on research objectives, observation indicators, experimental conditions, and funds. In addition, animal models that can more accurately simulate DR need to be developed to provide more effective tools for studying the mechanism of DR and developing feasible prevention and treatment approaches.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate dynamic metabolism in vivo of Ginkgo Folium Tablet under the guidance of sequential metabolism thoughts. Methods In situ closed-loop in rats was carried out to study sequential metabolism of Ginkgo Folium Tablet through oral digestive system, namely to investigate and compare the intestinal flora metabolism, the gut wall metabolism and hepatic metabolism, combined with chromatographic fingerprint of blood samples. Results The analysis showed that 12 peaks in Ginkgo Folium Tablet were metabolized by intestinal flora, and 7 peaks generated through the gut wall. Most components of Ginkgo Folium Tablet were metabolized in liver, and 3 original medicine components were directly into the blood. Conclusion This study conducts a qualitative description of metabolism of Ginkgo Folium Tablet in different parts of the oral route, and provides references for the quality control, mechanism explanation and secondary development for Ginkgo Folium Tablet.
