Colorectal cancer， a leading malignant gastrointestinal tumor globally in terms of incidence and mortality， has seen a consistent annual rise in newly diagnosed cases. While conventional therapies like radiotherapy， chemotherapy， and surgery are available， problems such as lack of early diagnosis， poor prognosis， and drug resistance remain significant burdens for patients. Given the complex and diverse pathogenesis of colorectal cancer， there is an urgent clinical need for safe， effective， reliable， and multi-targeted therapeutic strategies. The Hippo signaling pathway， closely linked to mechanisms like tumorigenesis， cancer cell invasion， migration， and drug resistance， extensively participates in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer， so targeting the signaling pathway for cancer prevention and treatment has become a crucial research direction in recent years. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） offers multi-faceted， multi-pathway， and multi-target advantages and becomes an important therapy for colorectal cancer by enhancing patients' immunity， improving the life quality， and prolonging survival. Studies show that the active components of TCM， including flavonoids， terpenoids， phenols， alkaloids， quinones， lignans， and saponins， as well as TCM compounds such as modified Sijunzi decoction， Jiedu Sangen decoction， Jianpi Jiedu compound， and Quyu Jiedu decoction， exhibit significant targeting effects on the Hippo signaling pathway. These TCMs can exert an anti-colorectal cancer effect through various mechanisms， such as inducing cancer cell autophagy and apoptosis， inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition， reversing drug resistance of the tumor， and blocking the cancer cell cycle.

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system. In recent years， its incidence rate and mortality are increasing year by year. Due to the complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis of patients， colorectal cancer poses a serious threat to human physical and mental health. Currently， although Western medicine treatment methods can to some extent inhibit tumor growth and alleviate patient symptoms， postoperative recurrence， metastasis， multiple adverse reactions， and susceptibility to drug resistance are prominent issues， resulting in unsatisfactory overall treatment outcomes. Therefore， exploring more efficient and safe treatment methods has become an urgent task. The adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK） signaling pathway plays a regulatory role in the growth， differentiation， apoptosis， and autophagy of colorectal cancer cells， and is widely involved in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer. It is considered an important target for colorectal cancer treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of colorectal cancer， as it can exert its effects through multiple mechanisms and pathways. It can prevent postoperative recurrence and metastasis， reduce adverse reactions to radiotherapy and chemotherapy， and improve patients' quality of life. It has become a key means of treating colorectal cancer. Research has shown that active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine such as flavonoids， polyphenols， terpenes， and esters， as well as traditional Chinese medicine compounds such as Qingjie Fuzheng Granules and some traditional Chinese medicine extracts， have significant regulatory effects on AMPK and its interaction signaling pathways. They exert their anti-colorectal cancer effects by inducing autophagy and apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells， promoting ferroptosis， inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition， reversing drug resistance， and arresting the cell cycle. This article reviewed and summarized the relevant research on traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of colorectal cancer in recent years， with a focus on the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in regulating the AMPK signaling pathway for the treatment of colorectal cancer. It is expected to provide ideas and references for the development of new drugs for clinical anti-colorectal cancer treatment.

Background/Aims: Liver transplantation (LT) following total hepatectomy is a life-saving treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HCC recurrence after LT hinders the effectiveness of the procedure. The objective of this study is to develop a pre-operative risk stratification model based on a liquid biopsy. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive multi-omics study of 260 HCC patients from three centers, including clinical data, low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma, as well as whole-exome, single-nucleus RNA, and spatial transcriptomics from matched tumor and non-tumor tissues. Results: We identified cfDNA-derived copy number alteration (CNA) signatures associated with post-transplant recurrence. By integrating cfDNA-derived CNA profiles with single-cell transcriptomic data, we traced recurrence-associated cfDNA to a distinct subpopulation of malignant cells within the primary tumor. These cells were embedded in a pro-metastatic microenvironment of specialized endothelial subtypes and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Notably, most recurrence-associated lesions were detectable in cfDNA prior to liver transplantation (LT). Building on these insights, we developed the ZJU Criteria based on CNA fragments and tumor markers, a pre-LT risk prediction tool that integrates conventional clinical factors with cfDNA-derived CNA signatures, and validated it using internal and independent external cohorts. Conclusion Our findings suggest that post-transplant recurrence commonly originates from advanced subclones that emerge late during tumor evolution. The ZJU Criteria provides an accurate, non-invasive strategy that significantly improves pre-LT risk stratification and clinical decision-making for patients with HCC.

Liver cancer， as a malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality worldwide， has shown a year-by-year increase in both incidence and mortality in China. Currently， Western medicine has achieved certain efficacy in the clinical management of liver cancer in terms of inhibiting tumor growth， alleviating patient symptoms， and delaying disease progression. However， its limitations cannot be ignored. Significant side effects， increasingly severe drug resistance， and limited improvement in patient survival collectively make the overall therapeutic outcomes fall short of ideal expectations. Therefore， exploring more effective and safer treatment strategies has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the field of oncology. The adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway plays a central regulatory role in the physiological processes of liver cancer cells， including proliferation， differentiation， apoptosis， and autophagy， and is considered a key molecular target for anti-liver cancer therapy. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， characterized by its multi-pathway and multi-mechanism synergistic effects， has become an important component of the current comprehensive treatment system for liver cancer. Among these， TCM monomeric compounds， owing to their well-defined chemical structures and precisely analyzable pharmacological mechanisms， represent an important breakthrough in anti-liver cancer drug development. Studies have shown that various TCM monomeric compounds， including flavonoids， alkaloids， polyphenols， saponins， terpenoids， and quinones， can regulate the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway and its upstream and downstream protein expression. Through these mechanisms， they induce autophagy and apoptosis in liver cancer cells， inhibit aerobic glycolysis， reverse drug resistance， promote ferroptosis， block epithelial-mesenchymal transition， and inhibit angiogenesis， thereby effectively suppressing the growth and metastasis of liver cancer cells. Based on this， this article systematically reviews recent studies on TCM monomeric compounds in the treatment of liver cancer， and further analyzes in depth their mechanisms in regulating the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway， so as to provide ideas and references for the development of new anti-liver cancer drugs.

Liver cancer， as a malignant digestive tract tumor with high incidence and mortality rates globally， has witnessed continuous increases in both incidence and mortality in recent years. Although modern medical treatment methods have achieved certain results in disease control， the treatment of liver cancer remains challenging due to the low early diagnosis rate， obvious toxic and side effects， and widespread drug resistance. Against this backdrop， exploring more efficient and safer treatment strategies is of utmost urgency. The Hippo cascade signaling pathway plays a crucial regulatory role in processes such as the proliferation， differentiation， apoptosis， and invasion of liver cancer cells. It is extensively involved in the occurrence and development of liver cancer， serving as an important target for anti-liver cancer treatment research. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） can exert anti-liver cancer effects through multiple approaches， mechanisms， and pathways. It has shown remarkable efficacy in preventing postoperative recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer， reducing adverse reactions of radiotherapy and chemotherapy， and improving the quality of life， thus becoming a key component of comprehensive liver cancer treatment. Studies have confirmed that the TCM active components including flavonoids， alkaloids， terpenoids， polyphenols， saponins， and quinones， as well as the TCM compound prescriptions such as compound Banmao capsules， Erzhu Jiedu decoction， Pianzaihuang， and Zhenggan prescription， can effectively regulate the Hippo signaling pathway. They exert significant anti-liver cancer effects through multiple mechanisms， such as inducing autophagy and apoptosis of liver cancer cells， improving macrophage polarization， blocking epithelial-mesenchymal transition， inhibiting glycolytic metabolism， promoting immune cell activation， reversing tumor drug resistance， and arresting the cell cycle. This study used "liver cancer" "Hippo" "signaling pathway" and "traditional Chinese medicine" as the main keywords to search multiple literature databases， including PubMed， CNKI， and VIP. By discussing and analyzing the mechanisms of TCM in regulating the Hippo signaling pathway for the treatment of liver cancer in the past five years， this paper aims to provide ideas and references for the research and development of new anti-liver cancer drugs in clinical practice.

According to TCM, the main pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is stomach disharmony and descending, and stomach qi ascending. Phlegm dampness and blood stasis are also important pathological factors of this disease. TCM treatment for GERD mainly starts from the liver, spleen and stomach. The basic treatment is to harmonize the stomach and lower the adverse, and to soothe the liver and relieve depression, invigorate the spleen and resolve dampness, promote qi and blood circulation, and clear heat and inhibit acid. Clinical treatment of GERD is mostly in the form of TCM compounds, often combined with Western medicine, which can improve symptoms, reduce recurrence rate and reduce adverse reactions. The mechanism is to inhibit gastric acid secretion, enhance lower esophageal sphincter pressure, promote gastrointestinal motility, inhibit inflammation, regulate esophageal visceral sensitivity and regulate intestinal flora.

Hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） is one of the most common malignant tumors with high incidence and mortality rates worldwide， which brings a huge burden to the physical and mental health and socio-economic life of patients. The adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK） signaling pathway serves as the regulatory center of cellular energy metabolism and is closely associated with the biological activities of HCC cells， including autophagy， apoptosis， and angiogenesis， and it has become a hot topic in current cancer research. Traditional Chinese medicine drugs are abundant in natural components such as flavonoids， alkaloids， and phenols and have the characteristics of multiple targets， pathways， components， and hierarchies. By targeting the AMPK signaling pathway， these components can be used alone or in combination with conventional antitumor therapies to exert an anti-tumor effect on HCC from various aspects. This article reviews and summarizes the extracts of traditional Chinese medicine that target the AMPK signaling pathway for the prevention and treatment of HCC， in order to provide a theoretical basis and a reference for the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of HCC and the development of related drugs.
