Objective:To compare minimally invasive surgery with traditional open surgery, analyze the current application status of health economic evaluations in the treatment of digestive tract cancers, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer by minimally invasive surgery and provide evidence for the rational selection of clinical treatment, alleviation of disease-related economic burdens, and rational allocation of healthcare resources.Methods:By using five databases, i.e. China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, and Embase, a database was established to retrieve all the papers about health economic studies of minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer published until December 31, 2023. Literature was analyzed by using software NoteExpress 3.8, and data were processed using Excel 2021. The quality of included papers was evaluated using the CHEERS 2022 checklist, and Meta-analysis was conducted by using software Stata 17.0.Results:A total of 10 919 relevant papers were retrieved, and 59 studies were included. Only 14 studies (23.7%) used standard health economic evaluation methods. Meta-analysis results revealed no significant differences in direct medical expenditure and total expenditure between minimally invasive surgery and open surgery. However, the expenditure for minimally invasive surgery exhibited a significant increase [mean difference ( MD)=5 973.12 yuan, P<0.001], while hospital stay and indirect expenditure significantly decreased ( MD: -4.85 days and -733.79 yuan, P<0.001). In China, for gastric cancer, the direct medical expenditure of endoscopic surgery was lower than that of open surgery ( MD=-33 000.00 yuan) with no significant difference ( P<0.001). In colorectal cancer cases, the direct medical and surgical expenditures for laparoscopic surgery were higher than those for open surgery ( MD: 4 277.94 yuan and 4 267.80 yuan, P<0.001), while the indirect and total medical expenditures decreased ( MD: -768.34 yuan and -159.10 yuan). Hospital stays in patients who had minimally invasive surgery for all three types of cancer were shorter than those who had open surgery ( P<0.001). Conclusions:In the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, compared with open surgery, minimally invasive surgery shows higher expenditure, but has advantages, such as shorter hospital stay and lower indirect expenditure, and there were no significant differences in direct medical and total expenditures between the two approaches. When conducting health economic evaluation, factors such as postoperative complications, hospital stay, and patient's economic status should be considered for their impact on total medical expenditure. It is necessary to pay attention to the application of health economic evaluations in healthcare decision-making.

The brain-gut axis is an important channel to realize the functional integration of the central nervous system and the enteric nervous system between the brain and the intestine. It is the medium for the occurrence and development of depression and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of depression. From the perspective of modern medicine and TCM, based on the theory of "brain-gut axis", this article discussed the operation method and mechanism of acupuncture at abdominal ring acupoint in the treatment of depression in Zhuang medicine, in order to provide new ideas for acupuncture treatment of depression.

Ferroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death that plays a critical role in the body's disease resistance processes. Research has shown that ferroptosis plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of depression. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of depression, and the effective application of ferroptosis theory to guide TCM in the prevention and treatment of depression has become a current research hotspot. This article provides a summary and review of the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, its relationship with depression, and the current research status of TCM in the prevention and treatment of depression based on ferroptosis. It has been found that the occurrence of ferroptosis is related to processes such as iron metabolism disorders, uncontrolled lipid peroxidation, and abnormal amino acid metabolism. Ferroptosis plays an important regulatory role in the onset, progression, and treatment of depression, offering new ideas for therapeutic approaches to the condition. Additionally, research on TCM interventions that regulate ferroptosis to exert antidepressant effects has identified several effective components, such as saikosaponin B2, luteolin, quercetin, gallic acid, catalpol, turmerone, oxypaeoniflorin, and traditional compound formulas such as Dihuang Yinzi and Xiaoyaosan, as well as acupuncture and moxibustion. These interventions have been shown to exert antidepressant effects by regulating ferroptosis, providing scientific evidence and references for further research into ferroptosis theory and its application in guiding the prevention and treatment of depression through TCM.
