Since the promulgation of the first Drug Administration Law of the People's Republic of China 40 years ago in 1984, China has undergone four main stages in the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) regulation: the initial establishment of TCM regulation rules(1984-1997), the formation of a modern TCM regulatory system(1998-2014), the reform of the review and approval system for new TCM drugs(2015-2018), and the construction of a scientific regulation system for TCM(2019-2024). Over the past five years, a series of milestone achievements of TCM regulation in China have been achieved in the six aspects, including its strategic objectives and the establishment of a science-based regulatory system, the reform of the review and approval system for new TCM drugs, the optimization and improvement of the TCM standard system and its formation mechanism, comprehensive enhancement of regulatory capabilities for TCM safety, international harmonization of TCM regulation and its role in promoting innovation. Looking ahead, centered on advancing TCMRS to establish a sound regulatory framework tailored to the unique characteristics of TCM, TCM regulation will evolve into new reform patterns, advancing and extending across eight critical fronts, including the legal framework and policy architecture, the review and approval system for new TCM drugs, the quality standard and management system of TCM, the comprehensive quality & safety regulation and traceability system, the research and transformation system for TCMRS, AI-driven innovations in TCM regulation, the coordination between high-quality industrial development and high-level regulation, and the leadership in international cooperation and regulatory harmonization. In this way, a unique path for the development of modern TCM regulation with Chinese characteristics will be pioneered.

Diterpenoid ferruginol is a key intermediate in biosynthesis of active ingredients such as tanshinone and carnosic acid.However, the traditional process of obtaining ferruginol from plants is often cumbersome and inefficient. In recent years, the increasingly developing gene editing technology has been gradually applied to the heterologous production of natural products, but the production of ferruginol in microbe is still very low, which has become an obstacle to the efficient biosynthesis of downstream chemicals, such as tanshinone. In this study, miltiradiene was produced by integrating the shortened diterpene synthase fusion protein,and the key genes in the MVA pathway were overexpressed to improve the yield of miltiradiene. Under the shake flask fermentation condition, the yield of miltiradiene reached about(113. 12±17. 4)mg·L~(-1). Subsequently, this study integrated the ferruginol synthase Sm CYP76AH1 and Sm CPR1 to reconstruct the ferruginol pathway and thereby realized the heterologous synthesis of ferruginol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The study selected the best ferruginol synthase(Il CYP76AH46) from different plants and optimized the expression of pathway genes through redox partner engineering to increase the yield of ferruginol. By increasing the copy number of diterpene synthase, CYP450, and CPR, the yield of ferruginol reached(370. 39± 21. 65) mg·L~(-1) in the shake flask, which was increased by 21. 57-fold compared with that when the initial ferruginol strain JMLT05 was used. Finally, 1 083. 51 mg·L~(-1) ferruginol was obtained by fed-batch fermentation, which is the highest yield of ferruginol from biosynthesis so far. This study provides not only research ideas for other metabolic engineering but also a platform for the construction of cell factories for downstream products.

Objective To characterize the expression patterns of serum microRNA-497(miR-497)in patients with colorectal cancer(CRC)and to investigate its associations with clinicopathological characteristics,diagnostic performance,and long-term prognostic outcomes.Methods This study retrospectively analyzed data from 122 patients with CRC admitted to the hospital between March 2020 and March 2022(CRC group),and enrolled 100 healthy individuals undergoing routine physical examinations(healthy control group)for comparison.Serum samples were collected from all participants prior to any surgical intervention,and the expression levels of miR-497 in serum were quantified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Simulta-neously,the levels of carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)and carbohydrate antigen 199(CA199)were measured.To investigate the association between miR-497 expression and clinicopathological characteristics,we evaluated its diagnostic performance using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.Furthermore,Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to assess its impact on patient prognosis.Results Compared to healthy individuals,CRC patients exhibited significantly lower serum miR-497 expression levels(P<0.001).Notably,miR-497 expression was strongly correlated with TNM stage progression and lymph node metastasis(P<0.001),but showed no significant association with tumor location,patient sex,or age.Diagnostic evaluation using ROC curves demonstrated that miR-497 achieved an AUC of 0.845 for CRC detection,outperforming CEA(AUC=0.748)and CA19-9(AUC=0.702),with DeLong's test confirming the statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed a significantly higher 3-year DFS rate among patients with high miR-497 expression(84.06%)compared to those with low expression(64.58%),with median DFS not reached in the high-expression group versus 36 months in the low-expression group(P=0.015).Multivariate Cox regression analysis confirmed that reduced miR-497 expression(HR=1.923,95%CI:1.184~3.125),advanced TNM stage(HR=2.511,95%CI:1.421~4.437),and lymph node metastasis(HR=1.753,95%CI:1.151~2.664)were independently associated with poorer disease-free survival outcomes.Conclusions Serum miR-497 is downregulated in patients with CRC and is significantly associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis.It demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy and strong potential for prognostic evalua-tion,highlighting its promise as a biomarker for auxiliary diagnosis and outcome prediction in CRC.
