The guidelines for clinical research on new drugs provide unified standards for drug developers, researchers, and regulatory authorities, playing a crucial role in new drug development. This article systematically reviews the evolution of guidelines for clinical research on new traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) drugs in China, with a focus on analyzing the current status of these guidelines and the problems that exist. It also provides interpretations of three important guidelines. The article points out that with the continuous emergence of new clinical trial design methods, development concepts, and tools, and under the background of the "three combinations" evidence evaluation system for new TCM drugs, it is imperative to revise existing guidelines, formulate new ones, and develop new tools for clinical efficacy evaluation. It is hoped that relevant departments will adopt an open attitude and work together to build a technical system of clinical research guidelines for new TCM drugs that aligns with the characteristics of TCM.

Gastric cancer is a common type of malignant tumors, but its clinical prognosis remains unsatisfactory. Up to 2020, a growing number of high-quality clinical researches has provided reliable evidence for clinical practice. Evidences from surgery, perioperative treatment and immunotherapy, such as changes in surgical methods, improvement of perioperative chemotherapy and combination of immune and chemotherapy strategy, provided the possibility to improve the clinical efficacy of gastric cancer. In our clinical practice, gastrointestinal surgeons need to integrate the current research progression and develop individualized strategy for different patients, which is expected to further improve the prognosis and quality of life for patients with gastric cancer.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is a negative regulatory factor antibody, which activates T cells to play an anti-tumor effect in immunotherapy, and can also cause immune-related adverse responses, thereby inducing a series of immune related adverse events (irAEs). Among these irAEs, although the incidence of ICIs-related myocarditis is very low, the fatality rate is significantly higher than other adverse reactions, close to 50%. Clinicians should be vigilant when applying ICIs, but the pathogenesis of ICIs-related myocarditis is still unclear. This article combines the recent research results of ICIs to summarize the mechanism and clinical manifestations of ICIs-related myocarditis, so as to improve clinicians' understanding of the adverse reactions.

Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway is one of the downstream pathways of cytokine signaling transduction. It regulates cell development, differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and so on. The pathway is not only involved in the regulation of normal physiological processes, but also significant in the development of tumors, especially in hematologic malignancies. In recent years, with the further research of JAK/STAT signaling pathway, it has been found that the pathway also plays a key role in the development of solid tumors. Here we reviewed the research advances of JAK/STAT signaling pathway in lung cancer, especially the mechanisms of development, metastasis and drug resistance, and the application of inhibitors which targeting JAK/STAT signaling pathway in the treatment of lung cancer.
