The deficiency of fingers due to various reasons leads to a certain degree of loss of full or part hand functions. Physical and mental health of patients are seriously affected, and patients have varying degrees of reduced quality of life. Prosthesis fingers play an important role in completing the body shape and enhancing patients’ self-confidence and self-esteem. However, how to make prosthesis fingers perform coordinated movements and restore complete functions is a crucial problem that urgently needs to be solved. This paper reviews the methods of brain-computer interface controlled fine finger movements and elaborates on the origin, current situation, and advancements of the development of this technology, laying a foundation for subsequent research, with the expectation of helping patients solve the problems arising from the insufficiency or absence of finger functions.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy （DCM） is a myocardium-specific microvascular disease caused by diabetes mellitus that impairs the structure and function of the heart. It is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic individuals. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has extensive clinical experience and precise efficacy in treating DCM， and its multi-target， multi-pathway， multi-component， and low side effect approach can slow the progression of DCM and improve the symptoms while effectively dealing with the complexity and long-term nature of its pathological process. Many recent studies have demonstrated that pyroptosis accompanied by inflammatory response is one of the main types of myocardial injury in DCM， which promotes the development of DCM and is closely related to pathological changes such as oxidative stress， myocardial fibrosis， myocardial hypertrophy， and decreased cardiac function in the course of DCM. These findings also provide a theoretical foundation for future research into potential therapy techniques and intervention mechanisms for DCM. By searching and analyzing relevant literature from several databases， including CNKI， PubMed， Web of Science， Excerpt Medica， Science Direct， and Springer， this study aimed to comprehensively analyze the characteristics of the effects of TCM and compounds in intervening in cardiomyocyte pyroptosis in DCM in recent years and explore the potential mechanisms. It also reveals the potential of effective components of TCM and compounds in preventing and controlling DCM from the standpoint of cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and provides a new way of thinking and more experimental evidence for the clinical application of TCM in treating DCM.

As a common malignant tumor of the respiratory system， the incidence and mortality of lung cancer are still rising year by year. Its pathogenesis is complex， the prognosis is poor， and it seriously affects human physical and mental health. Although existing Western medical treatments can inhibit tumor growth to a certain extent and relieve patients' painful symptoms， problems such as postoperative recurrence and metastasis， numerous adverse reactions， and the tendency to develop drug resistance make the overall therapeutic effect unsatisfactory. Therefore， it is urgent to seek more efficient and safer treatments. Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK） signaling pathway can regulate the growth， differentiation， apoptosis， and autophagy of lung cancer cells， and is extensively involved in the occurrence and development of lung cancer， thus being regarded as an important target for anti-lung cancer therapy. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） exerts anti-lung cancer effects through multiple pathways， mechanisms， and targets， with advantages such as preventing postoperative recurrence and metastasis， alleviating the adverse reactions of radiotherapy and chemotherapy， and improving quality of life. TCM has therefore become a key approach in current anti-lung cancer treatment. Studies have found that active components of Chinese medicine， including flavonoids， saponins， polyphenols， and terpenes， as well as Chinese medicine compound prescriptions such as Guiqi Yiyuan extract， Qingzao Jiufei decoction， and Yiqi Fuzheng formula， have significant regulatory effects on AMPK and its interacting signaling pathways. These effects include inducing autophagy and apoptosis of lung cancer cells， modulating macrophage polarization， inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition， reversing drug resistance， and blocking the cell cycle， thereby exerting anti-lung cancer activity. This article reviews and summarizes recent studies on the anti-lung cancer effects of TCM， and discusses the mechanisms by which TCM regulates the AMPK signaling pathway in the treatment of lung cancer， with the aim of providing ideas and references for the development of new clinical anti-lung cancer drugs.
