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. This paper reviewed and analyzed Chinese and international research on the action mechanisms of TCM in regulating the Hippo signaling pathway for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer with a comprehensive overview presentation， aiming to provide new references and ideas for the clinical application of TCM and the development of new pharmacological agents in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.

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.

Objective To investigate the effect of the mutant of adenovirus-mediated HIF-1α triple mutant(Ad-HIF-1α-Trip)on the apoptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes under high glucose and hypoxia conditions.Methods H9c2 cardiomyocytes were cultured under hypoxic conditions in vitro and randomly divided into four groups based on glucose concentration and viral transfection status:low oxygen+normal glucose concentration group(LO+NG group),low oxygen+high glucose concentration group(LO+HG group),low oxygen+high glucose+adenoviral null vector group(LO+HG+Ad-Null group),and low oxygen+high glucose+adenovirus HIF-1α triple mutant group(LO+HG+Ad-HIF-1α-Trip group).After 12 hours of hypoxia,HIF-1α,PI3K,and Akt expression were measured via qRT-PCR and Western blot,and apoptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes was assessed by flow cytometry.Results HIF-1α,PI3K,and Akt expression decreased in cardiomyocytes under high glucose and hypoxia,while Ad-HIF-1 α-Trip enhanced their expression.Flow cytometry revealed increased apoptosis under high glucose and hypoxia,which was reduced by Ad-HIF-1α-Trip.Conclusion Ad-HIF-1α-Trip upregulates HIF-1α,PI3K,and Akt in H9c2 cardiomyocytes under high glucose and hypoxia,likely reducing apoptosis via PI3K-Akt pathway activation.

The clinical thinking ability after teaching was significantly higher in the research group compared to the control group [(258.49±13.36) points vs. (242.56±13.02) points] ( t=4.67, P<0.001). The overall satisfaction rate of teaching was significantly higher in the research group compared to the control group (100.00% vs. 80.00%, χ2=4.63, P=0.031). Conclusions:The CBL + Seminar teaching method based on Toulmin model can effectively improve student learning performance and clinical thinking ability, demonstrating a promising application value in the education and teaching of clinical medicine innovation class.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new plasma radiofrequency generator and a disposable mucosal incision knife for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of gastrointestinal lesions.Methods:This study is a prospective, randomized, non-inferiority multicenter study (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry No.: ChiCTR2000041394). The inclusion criteria for cases are as follows: (1) being able to understand and voluntarily participate in this clinical trial, and voluntarily signing the informed consent form; (2) being 18-70 years old, regardless of gender; (3) having a gastrointestinal lesion and meeting the endoscopic treatment conditions for the indications of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The exclusion criteria are: (1) meeting the contraindications for ESD; (2) having a surgical contraindication due to coagulation dysfunction or still taking anticoagulants 1 week before surgery; (3) having coagulation dysfunction, that is, the prothrombin time is prolonged by more than 3 seconds (more than 5 seconds in patients with liver disease), or the activated partial thromboplastin time is prolonged by more than 10 seconds, and the platelet count is < 70×10?/L; (4) having severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency and being unable to tolerate the surgery; (5) being a reproductive-aged woman with a positive blood or urine pregnancy test or a lactating woman; (6) the investigator deems that there are other factors that are not suitable for inclusion or affect the subject's participation. Patients who underwent ESD treatment for gastrointestinal lesions from March 2019 to April 2023 at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, the Department of Gastroenterology of Minhang District Central Hospital in Shanghai, and the Department of Gastroenterology of Quzhou People's Hospital were prospectively included. The experimental group used a new plasma radiofrequency therapy instrument and a disposable mucosal incision knife, while the control group used a high-frequency electrosurgical system and a disposable mucosal incision knife. The primary efficacy indicator was the en bloc resection success rate, the secondary efficacy indicators included the coagulation success rate, and the operation stability of the plasma radiofrequency therapy instrument and the disposable mucosal incision knife; the safety indicators included the incidence of intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative perforation, and postoperative complications. Results:The study cohort comprised 194 patients, 95 in the experimental group and 99 in the control group. Analysis of the full set showed rates of en bloc resection of 97.89% (93/95) and 96.97% (96/99) in the experimental and control groups, respectively; the difference being 0.53% (-5.58%, 6.64%). Analysis of the compliance set showed rates of en bloc resection of 97.83% (90/92) and 96.88% (93/96) in the experimental and control groups, respectively; the difference being 0.58% (-5.79%, 6.94%). These data indicate that the rate of en bloc resection in the experimental group using plasma radiofrequency therapy and disposable mucosal incision was not inferior to that of the control group. The rates of achieving intraoperative coagulation in the experimental and control groups were 7.14% (5/70) and 5.97% (4/67), respectively; this difference is not statistically significant ( P=1.000). The control group had a significantly better rate of using the same instruments throughout the procedure than did the experimental group ( P<0.001). In the safety analysis set, the incidences of intraoperative and postoperative adverse events did not differ significantly between the two groups (both P>0.05). Conclusion:Plasma radiofrequency therapy equipment and a disposable mucosal incision knife are safe and effective instruments for performing ESD of gastrointestinal lesions.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis （IPF） is a chronic interstitial lung disease characterized by dyspnea and progressive deterioration of lung function， which significantly impacts patients' quality of life and imposes a major burden on society. Although modern medicine has increasingly enriched the treatment options for pulmonary fibrosis， unfavorable factors such as high costs and significant side effects contribute to the persistently low survival rate of patients. Studies have shown that the occurrence and development of pulmonary fibrosis are closely related to abnormalities in multiple pathways. Among these， Rho/Rho-associated coiled-coil protein kinase （ROCK） plays a key role in the disease progression of IPF by regulating the cytoskeleton. This pathway not only transmits biochemical molecular signals that promote the progress of fibrosis but also responds to the biomechanical environment， such as the increased lung tissue stiffness caused by the deposition of extracellular matrix （ECM） during the process of pulmonary fibrosis. Therefore， research on this pathway is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of IPF. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has shown remarkable effects in preventing and treating IPF. Many TCM compounds and active components can reduce the production of α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， CollagenⅠ （ColⅠ）， ColⅢ， and inflammatory factors in lung tissue by regulating the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway. These compounds inhibit the transformation of fibroblasts （FBs） into myofibroblasts （MyoFBs）， intervening in the process of pulmonary fibrosis. Based on this， the article briefly reviews relevant research from recent years， discusses the key role of the Rho/ROCK pathway in pulmonary fibrosis from an interdisciplinary perspective， and summarizes the mechanisms through which TCM regulates Rho/ROCK to prevent and treat IPF， based on resources from PubMed， CNKI， and other databases， in order to provide important references for the broader clinical application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of IPF.
