There have been increasing reports on liver injury induced by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and natural medicine in recent years. The risk of liver injury induced by TCMs has attracted more attention at home and abroad. In this paper,epidemiologic characteristics,risk factors,clinical features of TCMs induced liver injury were discussed. The myth about research and safety evaluation of TCMs induced liver injury was analyzed. Based on the property of TCMs and characteristics of their clinical use,this paper proposed the priorities of basic and clinical safety evaluation of TCMs induced liver toxicity. It is hoped that this study may provide reference for scientific evaluation of liver toxicity of TCMs.

Safety,efficacy and quality control are the three essential elements for drugs,including traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). Currently,rapid development of life sciences,medicine and phar?macy provides new prospects for TCM. Considering the long history of TCM application,modern phar? macology and toxicology, global standards and expectations on the safety of TCM, how to evaluate the safety of TCM scientifically has become a key to the research and development of TCM. This review aims to discuss current technical requirements of non-clinical safety study of TCM as well as the challenges.

Lycopene is an important natural carotenoid,and is widely found in human tissues and blood,with the prevention of many types of cancer,anti-aging effect.It can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells of oral malignancy,and increasing of gap-junction communication between cells to prevent oral cancer,and also can inhibit the development of colorectal cancer by reducing the activity of matrix metalloproteinase.It plays the role of anti-metastasis through enhancing the expression of anti-metastatic gene nm23-H1.

Recently,many studies find that microRNA plays a key role in the development,diagnosis,treatment and prevention of gastric cancer.It is confirmed that miR-451 can be used as a useful biomarker for the screening of gastric cancer.Studies also show that miR-203 and miR-21 may become diagnostic markers of gastric cancer.MicroRNA can play the role of oncogenes,and also can play the role of tumor suppressor gene,such as miR-141 plays the role of tumor suppressor gene through inhibition of the positive fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene expression.
