Ferroptosis is a unique iron-dependent cell death pattern,a novel death phenotype distinct from apoptosis,va-rious forms of necrosis,and autophagy.Numerous active ingredients extracted from traditional Chinese medicine have been found to exert anti-cancer effects by inducing ferroptosis in various cancers.An increasing number of studies have found that the regulation of ferroptosis can influence the sensitivity of tumor cells to drugs and even reverse drug resistance.When combined with chemo-therapy drugs such as cisplatin,5-FU and gemcitabine,some natural products enhance cancer cells'sensitivity to chemothera-peutic drugs by inducing ferroptosis.This paper mainly summarizes traditional Chinese medicine and its natural products that can exert anti-cancer effects by inducing ferroptosis,providing new insights for cancer treatment and drug resistance reversal.Addition-ally,it contributes to exploring the potential advantages of traditional Chinese medicine,thereby expanding its scope of applica-tion.

Objective To establish a clinical-CT model,and to observe its value for evaluating lymphovascular invasion(LVI)and/or perineural invasion(PNI)in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Methods Data of 156 ESCC patients were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into positive group(n=58,LVI[+]and/or PNI[+])and negative group(n=98,LVI[-]and PNI[-])according to postoperative pathological results.Clinical and CT data were compared between groups.Logistic regression analysis was performed to establish a model,and its efficacy of evaluating ESCC LVI and/or PNI was analyzed.Results Significant differences of carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),carbohydrate antigen 199(CA199),tumor thickness,tumor volume and CT venous phase value(CTV),the difference between CTV and CT plain phase value(CTP)(△CTV-P)and venous phase enhancement rate(V%)were found between groups(all P<0.05),and the area under the curve(AUC)of the above parameters for evaluating ESCC LVI and/or PNI was 0.702,0.690,0.731,0.744,0.621,0.631 and 0.599,respectively.CEA,CA199,tumor thickness,tumor volume and CTV were all independent predictive factors for ESCC LVI and/or PNI.A combined model was established based on the above features,and its accuracy,sensitivity and specificity for evaluating ESCC LVI and/or PNI was 82.05%,65.52%and 91.84%,respectively,with AUC of 0.838,higher than that of each single parameter(all P<0.05).Conclusion The established clinical-CT model could effectively evaluate ESCC LVI and/or PNI.

In recent years, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been widely used in clinical practice, aiming to optimize perioperative management measures through evidence-based medicine and reduce the physical and mental trauma, stress reactions, and complications of surgical patients through multidisciplinary collaboration. This paper examined the clinical practice of ERAS from the perspective of medical humanities, reviewed its development and characteristics, and first pointed out that the concept of “minimal harm” laid the medical humanities foundation for ERAS. However, the concept of “minimum harm” faced ethical and realistic challenges in practice, such as differentiated cognition between benefits and non-harm, the tension between generalization and personalization, and the gap between rehabilitation continuity and family care. This paper led into the caregiving perspective of social sciences, proposed “optimal care” as a supplement to the medical humanities concept of ERAS, and introduced its connotation and practice. The combination of “minimal harm” and “optimal care” can provide theoretical guidance for medical humanistic care in ERAS and innovate the practical path of medical humanities into clinical practice.
