ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Banxia Xiexintang （BXT） on the proliferation of human gastric cancer HGC-27， MKN-45， and AGS cells and its mechanism. MethodCell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） was used to detect the effects of different concentrations of BXT-containing serum （5%， 10%， and 20%） on the proliferation of HGC-27， MKN-45， and AGS cells. A mitochondrial membrane potential probe （TMRE） was used to detect the expression of mitochondrial membrane potential in cells. A kit was used to detect iron ion （Fe²⁺） content， lipid peroxide （LPO）， and superoxide dismutase （SOD） activity. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of glycogen synthase3β （GSK3β）， phosphorylated GSK3β （p-GSK3β）， nuclear factor E₂ related factor 2 （Nrf2）， and glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）. The real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of member 11 of the cystine/glutamic acid reverse transporter solute vector family 7 （SLC7A11）， member 2 of the heavy chain solute vector family 3 （SLC3A2）， transferrin receptor 3 （TFRC）， and tumor protein （TP）53. ResultCCK-8 results showed that BXT and capecitabine could significantly reduce the survival rate of three kinds of gastric cancer cells after treatment with drug-containing serum for 24 h （P<0.01）. After 48 h of intervention with drug-containing serum， the survival rate of three kinds of gastric cancer cells was significantly decreased in both the capecitabine group and the BXT group compared with the blank group. The BXT group was dose-dependent， with 20% BXT having the most significant effect （P<0.01）. In terms of biochemical indicators of ferroptosis， compared with the blank group， BXT and capecitabine significantly decreased the expression of mitochondrial membrane potential （P<0.01） and SOD activity （P<0.01） and significantly increased the contents of LPO and Fe²⁺ （P<0.01）， so as to improve the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to ferroptosis. In terms of the Nrf2/GPX4 pathway， compared with the blank group， the BXT group could reduce the protein expressions of p-GSK3β， Nrf2， and GPX4 （P<0.01） in gastric cancer cells and increase mRNA expressions of SLC7A11 and SLC3A2 （P<0.05）. It could also increase the protein expression of GSK3β （P<0.01） and mRNA expression of TP53 and TFRC （P<0.05， P<0.01） in gastric cancer cells. Inhibition of the Nrf2/GPX4 pathway induces ferroptosis in gastric cancer cells. Compared with the capecitabine group， the 20% BXT group showed a more obvious effect. ConclusionBanxia Xiexintang can induce ferroptosis in gastric cancer cells HGC-27， MKN-45， and AGS by inhibiting the Nrf2/GPX4 pathway.

The assessment of adverse drug events is an important basis for clinical safety evaluation and post-marketing risk control of drugs,and its causality assessment is gaining increasing attention.The existing methods for assessing the causal relationship between drugs and the occurrence of adverse reactions can be broadly classified into three categories:global introspective methods,standardized methods,and probabilistic methods.At present,there is no systematic introduction of the operational details of the various methods in the domestic literature.This paper compares representative causality assessment methods in terms of definition and concept,methodological steps,industry evaluation and advantages and disadvantages,clarifies the basic process of determining the causality of adverse drug reactions,and discusses how to further improve the adverse drug reaction monitoring and evaluation system,with a view to providing a reference for drug development and pharmacovigilance work in China.
