ObjectiveTo investigate the role of mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC and pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT in the ferroptosis phenotype of ovarian cancer (OC) cells and the regulatory mechanism of gypenoside L (Gyp-L) on mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC and pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT in OC cells. MethodsThe proliferation of human ovarian adenocarcinoma OVCAR3 cells was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of cisplatin (DDP), Gyp-L, and DDP in the presence of Gyp-L were calculated to determine the intervention concentration for subsequent experiments. Cell cloning assay and scratch assay reflected the proliferation and migration ability of OVCAR3 cells. PANDORA-seq small RNA sequencing was used to detect the differentially expressed transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) in the cells after Gyp-L intervention, and the corresponding target genes of the tsRNAs were found by the RNAhybrid software. Malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and lipid peroxide (LPO) levels were measured by colorimetry or enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, Fe2+ content by FerroOrange fluorescent probe, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) content by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe to reflect the occurrence of ferroptosis in OVCAR3 cells. OVCAR3 cells were divided into a control group, a 50 µmol·L-1 Gyp-L group, and a 100 µmol·L-1 Gyp-L group. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to detect the expression of mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC, mature-tRNA-Leu-CAA, mature-mt_tRNA-Tyr-GTA_5_end, mature-tRNA-Val-CAC, mature-mt_tRNA-Glu-TTC, pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT, mature-tRNA-Asn-GTT, hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), Wnt, β-catenin, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3), cystine/glutamate antiporter xCT, lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 (LPCAT3), and arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15). Western blot was performed to detect the expression of HMBS, Wnt, β-catenin, GPX4, KEAP1, Nrf2, ATF3, xCT, LPCAT3, and ALOX15 proteins. ResultsThe 50 µmol·L-1 Gyp-L, 100 µmol·L-1 Gyp-L, DDP, 50 µmol·L-1 Gyp-L+DDP, and 100 µmol·L-1 Gyp-L+DDP groups showed significantly inhibited proliferation and migration of OVCAR3 cells (P<0.05) and exacerbated cell ferroptosis as reflected by the increase in the content of ROS, MDA, LPO, and Fe2+, as well as a decrease in the content of GSH (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, Gyp-L effectively interfered with the expression of 25 tsRNAs in OVCAR3 cells (P<0.05, |log2Fc|>1). Pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT/HMBS/Wnt/β-catenin/GPX4, pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT/KEAP1/NRF2/xCT, mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/ATF3/KEAP1/NRF2/xCT, and mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/LPCAT3/ALOX15 axial expression was significantly aberrant after Gyp-L intervention (P<0.05). ConclusionThe pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT/HMBS/Wnt/β-catenin/GPX4, pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT/KEAP1/Nrf2/xCT, mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/ATF3/KEAP1/Nrf2/xCT, and mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/LPCAT3/ALOX15 signaling pathways are involved in OC development. Gyp-L inhibits OC development by activating OVCAR3 cell ferroptosis onset mainly through the mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/ATF3/KEAP1/Nrf2/xCT and mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/LPCAT3/ALOX15 signaling axes.

With the emergence of deep learning techniques based on convolutional neural networks, artificial intelligence (AI) has driven transformative developments in the field of medical image analysis. Recently, large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have also started to achieve distinction in this domain. Increasing research shows the undeniable role of AI in reshaping various aspects of medical image analysis, including processes such as image enhancement, segmentation, detection in image preprocessing, and postprocessing related to medical diagnosis and prognosis in clinical settings. However, despite the significant progress in AI research, studies investigating the recent advances in AI technology in the aforementioned aspects, the changes in research hotspot trajectories, and the performance of studies in addressing key clinical challenges in this field are limited. This article provides an overview of recent advances in AI for medical image analysis and discusses the methodological profiles, advantages, disadvantages, and future trends of AI technologies.

At present, the cause of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) in China has entered a new period of high-quality development. How to strengthen the foundation for the TCM industry from the source is an important issue that deserves the attention of the authorities, industry, and academia. This study systematically analyzed the regulatory system of TCM raw materials and preparations. The study took the TCM industry chain and the product life cycle as a clue and focused on the dimensions of TCM resource protection and plant cultivation(farming), production and quality supervision of TCM raw materials and preparations, and their market access and distribution. It analyzed the current situation of the regulation of TCM raw materials and preparations under the regulatory system of drugs, discussed the main problems, and put forward corresponding suggestions. The results can provide an important reference value for the subsequent improvement of the regulatory system of drugs and the construction of a prominent regulatory system of drugs in accordance with TCM characteristics.

To explore the variation laws of volatile oil during the extraction process of Artemisiae Argyi Folium and its impact on the quality of the medicinal solution, as well as to achieve precise control of the extraction process, this study employed headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-SPME-GC-MS) in combination with multiple light scattering techniques to conduct a comprehensive analysis, identification, and characterization of the changes in volatile components and the physical properties of the medicinal solution during the extraction process. A total of 82 volatile compounds were identified using the HS-SPME-GC-MS technique, including 21 alcohols, 15 alkenes, 14 ketones, 9 acids, 6 aldehydes, 5 phenols, 3 esters, and 9 other types of compounds. At different extraction time points(15, 30, 45, and 60 min), 71, 72, 64, and 44 compounds were identified in the medicinal solution, respectively. It was observed that the content of volatile components gradually decreased with the extension of extraction time. Through multivariate statistical analysis, four compounds with significant differences during different extraction time intervals were identified, namely 1,8-cineole, terpinen-4-ol, 3-octanone, and camphor. RESULTS:: from multiple light scattering techniques indicated that at 15 minutes of extraction, the transmittance of the medicinal solution was the lowest(25%), the particle size was the largest(0.325-0.350 nm), and the stability index(turbiscan stability index, TSI) was the highest(0-2.5). With the extension of extraction time, the light transmittance of the medicinal solution improved, stability was enhanced, and the particle size decreased. These laws of physicochemical property changes provide important basis for the control of Artemisiae Argyi Folium extraction process. In addition, the changes in the bioactivity of Artemisiae Argyi Folium extracts during the extraction process were investigated through mouse writhing tests and antimicrobial assays. The results indicated that the analgesic and antimicrobial effects of the medicinal solution were strongest at the 15-minute extracting point. In summary, the findings of this study demonstrate that the content of volatile oil in Artemisiae Argyi Folium extracts gradually decreases with the extension of extraction time, and the variation in volatile oil content directly influences the physicochemical properties and pharmacological efficacy of the medicinal solution. This discovery provides important scientific reference for the optimization of Artemisiae Argyi Folium extraction processes and the development and application of process analytical technologies.

To guide clinical blood transfusion practices in pediatric patients, the National Health Commission has issued the health standard "Guideline for pediatric transfusion" (WS/T 795-2022). Children undergoing cardiac surgery are at high risk of bleeding, and the causes of perioperative anemia and coagulation disorders in neonates and children are complex and varied, often necessitating the transfusion of allogeneic blood components. This guideline provides direction and recommendations for specific measures in blood management for children undergoing cardiac surgery before, during, and after surgery. This article interprets the background and evidence for the formulation of the blood transfusion provisions for children undergoing cardiac surgery, hoping to facilitate the understanding and implementation of this guideline.
