Informed consent constitutes a fundamental ethical principle in medical practice. With the in-depth integration of generative artificial intelligence （AI） represented by Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer （ChatGPT） with medicine， it has brought revolutionary development to traditional informed consent while also introducing new ethical challenges. ChatGPT offers features such as improving the readability of informed consent content， enhancing its comprehensiveness and accuracy， and increasing the convenience of obtaining informed consent. However， as the application of ChatGPT in informed consent is still in the exploratory stage， it is imperative to proactively and fully consider the accompanying ethical issues， such as information security， liability determination， transparency， and fairness. This paper conducted an ethical analysis on the challenges faced by generative AI， represented by ChatGPT， in the application of informed consent and proposed countermeasures， such as upholding free and fully informed consent， strengthening the balance of rights and obligations in informed consent， and establishing a transparent and fair supervision mechanism. The aim was to promote the ethically compliant， orderly， and controllable development of generative AI in the field of medical informed consent.

Malignant tumors are one of the major causes of death in the population. Owing to limited clinical treatments， susceptibility to drug resistance， and generally low cure rates of conventional therapies， new treatment strategies need to be explored. Compared with existing therapies， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has unique advantages， such as low side effects， in the treatment of malignant tumors. Ferroptosis is a recently characterized form of regulated cell death associated with iron metabolism imbalance， lipid peroxidation， antioxidant system malfunction and other aspects. Studies have shown that TCM regulates Fe³⁺， Fe²⁺， glutathione， glutathione peroxidase 4 and other substances related to ferroptosis， thereby affecting lipid peroxidation and antioxidant processes， and then inducing ferroptosis. Through these mechanisms， TCM plays a key role in inhibiting the growth and spread of tumor cells and is involved in multiple stages of malignant tumor progression. In this study， we systematically retrieved the literature indexed in PbuMed and China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI） with the keywords TCM， ferroptosis， and malignant tumors. We outlined the mechanisms of ferroptosis and its association with malignant tumors， and summarized the research progress on the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors through the modulation of ferroptosis by TCM monomers， single herbs， and compounds. The study aims to provide new perspectives for the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors by TCM.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the antitumor activity of Periplaneta americana extract（PAE） against human-derived lung adenocarcinoma organoids（LUAD-PDOs） and to elucidate its potential mechanism based on transcriptomics. MethodsFresh tumor and adjacent normal tissues from patients with LUAD were collected to construct LUAD-PDOs and normal lung organoid（Nor-PDOs） models using 3D organoid culture technology. The effective intervention concentration of PAE was determined using the cell counting kit-8（CCK-8） assay. Experimental groups included the model group（LUAD-PDOs）， normal group， model administration group（LUAD-PDOs+PAE）， and normal administration group（Nor-PDOs+PAE）. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the pathological structures of PDOs， immunohistochemistry（IHC） was performed to detect the expressions of the proliferation marker Ki-67 and lung adenocarcinoma differentiation markers cytokeratin-7（CK-7） and Napsin A， TUNEL staining was applied to detect cell apoptosis. RNA sequencing（RNA-Seq） was conducted to identify differentially expressed genes（DEGs）， followed by Gene Ontology（GO）， Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis（GSEA）， alongside protein-protein interaction（PPI） network analysis to screen core mechanisms. Finally， key targets were validated by integrating external database analysis with immunofluorescence（IF）. ResultsNor-PDOs and LUAD-PDOs that highly recapitulated the pathological characteristics of the primary tissues were successfully established. The CCK-8 assay determined that the effective intervention concentration of PAE was 16 g·L^-1. Morphological observation showed that Nor-PDOs exhibited lumen-forming structures， whereas LUAD-PDOs displayed dense， solid structures. CCK-8 and TUNEL assays revealed that， compared with the model group， PAE intervention inhibited the proliferation of LUAD-PDOs and promoted apoptosis in LUAD cells， while showing no significant effect on the viability of Nor-PDOs. Transcriptomic analysis identified 719 DEGs that were significantly reversed after PAE intervention（347 up-regulated and 372 down-regulated）（P<0.05）. GO enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs in the model administration group were significantly enriched in biological processes related to cell cycle regulation compared to the model group. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that PAE affected pathways related to proliferation and metabolism， including pathways in cancer and the p53 signaling pathway. GSEA further confirmed that PAE significantly enhanced the activity of the p53 signaling pathway（P<0.05）. PPI network analysis indicated that breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein（BRCA1） and checkpoint kinase 1（CHEK1） were the core down-regulated targets in the p53 pathway. IF verified the high expression of BRCA1 and CHEK1 in LUAD-PDOs and their significant downregulation after PAE intervention（P<0.05）. Furthermore， survival analysis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas（TCGA） database indicated that low expression of BRCA1 and CHEK1 was significantly associated with prolonged overall survival in patients with LUAD（P<0.05）. ConclusionPAE effectively inhibits proliferation of LUAD-PDOs and promotes their apoptosis， its anti-tumor mechanism is potentially associated with the activation of the p53 signaling pathway， with BRCA1 and CHEK1 genes likely serving as key downstream targets for the effects of PAE.

Primary biliary cholangitis （PBC） is an autoimmune liver disease characterized by intrahepatic cholestasis， while fatigue is a common symptom of PBC that significantly affects the quality of life of patients. The pathogenesis of fatigue is complex and may be associated with the factors such as cholestasis-induced inflammation， gut microbiota dysbiosis， brain structural and functional abnormalities， and mitochondrial dysfunction. At present， first-line therapies and liver transplantation have a limited effect in alleviating fatigue， and there is still a lack of standardized comprehensive assessment system. Emerging drugs and non-pharmaceutical interventions， including lifestyle modifications， have shown potential application prospects. This article systematically reviews the research advances in the clinical manifestations， pathogenesis， clinical assessment， and intervention of fatigue in PBC patients， in order to provide a reference for optimizing treatment strategies and promoting the research and development of new therapies.

This paper summarizes professor WANG Qingguo's experience in treatment of headache based on the "achieving harmony by unblocking and balancing" concept. It is considered that although the pathogenesis of headache is generally attributed to "pain arises from obstruction" and "pain arises from malnourishment"， clinical presentations often involve a complex mixture of deficiency and excess， as well as cold and heat patterns. Professor WANG proposes the diagnostic and therapeutic theory of "achieving harmony by unblocking and balancing"， advocating for equal emphasis on "freeing the flow of qi and blood" and "regulating the balance of yin and yang". He has summarized eight treatment methods for common headache patterns. For wind-cold attacking the collaterals， treatment should focus on dispersing and unblocking through modified Gegen Decoction （葛根汤）. For wind-dampness binding， it is recommended to unblock and drain， using modified Qingshang Juantong Decoction （清上蠲痛汤）. For damp-heat congestion， unblocking and clearing is the method， using modified Toufeng Shen Formula （头风神方）. For liver-gallbladder qi constraint， unblocking and soothing is the treatment principle， and modified Sanpian Decoction （散偏汤） is suggested. For insufficiency of center qi， even supplementation method is recommended， and modified Yiqi Congming Decoction （益气聪明汤） can be used. For liver yang hyperactivity， unblocking and subduing are combined， using modified Xunlong Decoction （驯龙汤）. For deficiency-cold in the liver and stomach， warming， harmonizing， unblocking， and descending are applied， using modified Wuzhuyu Decoction （吴茱萸汤）. For blood deficiency with cold congelation， unblocking and nourishing are undertaken together， using modified Danggui Sini Decoction （当归四逆汤）. The ultimate goal is to restore the dynamic balance of yin， yang， qi， and blood in the body， thereby allevia-ting pain by restoring clarity and function to the head orifices.

Large language models (LLM) are increasingly applied in the medical field, yet their clinical implementation faces numerous ethical and regulatory challenges. This paper reviews seven major ethical challenges: patient safety and accuracy, bias and fairness, privacy and data protection, transparency and explainability, accountability and legal liability, patient autonomy and informed consent, and the doctor-patient relationship and trust. At the regulatory level, international research indicates that United States currently lacks specific regulations for medical LLM use, while is exploring the regulation of high-risk LLM. The EU’s AI Act classifies medical AI as high-risk and imposes stringent compliance requirements. China has issued generative AI management measures and advocates industry standards, though its legal framework remains incomplete. Solutions include embedding ethical principles during model development, strengthening human-machine collaboration and manual oversight in clinical settings, establishing clear legal standards for accountability, safeguarding data privacy and security, implementing continuous monitoring and improvement, and deepening international cooperation and multidisciplinary governance.
