Transformer models have emerged as pivotal tools within the realm of drug discovery, distinguished by their unique architectural features and exceptional performance in managing intricate data landscapes. Leveraging the innate capabilities of transformer architectures to comprehend intricate hierarchical dependencies inherent in sequential data, these models showcase remarkable efficacy across various tasks, including new drug design and drug target identification. The adaptability of pre-trained transformer-based models renders them indispensable assets for driving data-centric advancements in drug discovery, chemistry, and biology, furnishing a robust framework that expedites innovation and discovery within these domains. Beyond their technical prowess, the success of transformer-based models in drug discovery, chemistry, and biology extends to their interdisciplinary potential, seamlessly combining biological, physical, chemical, and pharmacological insights to bridge gaps across diverse disciplines. This integrative approach not only enhances the depth and breadth of research endeavors but also fosters synergistic collaborations and exchange of ideas among disparate fields. In our review, we elucidate the myriad applications of transformers in drug discovery, as well as chemistry and biology, spanning from protein design and protein engineering, to molecular dynamics (MD), drug target identification, transformer-enabled drug virtual screening (VS), drug lead optimization, drug addiction, small data set challenges, chemical and biological image analysis, chemical language understanding, and single cell data. Finally, we conclude the survey by deliberating on promising trends in transformer models within the context of drug discovery and other sciences.

ObjectiveThis paper used the AGREE Ⅱ guideline evaluation tool to evaluate the quality of 14 clinical guidelines for acute myocardial infarction,aiming to provide reference for the formulation and improvement of the guidelines. MethodsClinical guidelines and expert consensus related to acute myocardial infarction were searched by web search. The search period ranges from January 1,2019 to November 1,2024 in CNKI,VIP,Wanfang Data,SinoMed,Web of Science,OVID, the International Guidelines Collaboration Network (GIN),the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE),Yimaitong, and other platforms. Three researchers independently screened the literature and used AGREE Ⅱ to score the screening results. After ensuring that the researchers have a consistent understanding of each guideline,the quality of the guidelines was evaluated. After that,the ratings were analyzed by layer according to the issuing agency,category,method of formulation,and funding situation and compared longitudinally by rating time. The clinical guidelines and expert consensus were compared in terms of content and evidence. ResultsA total of 14 guidelines and consensus were included. The results of AGREE Ⅱ in the six areas in descending order were scope and purpose (62.82%±10.43%),rigor (62.40%±12.77%),editorial independence (62.11%±22.26%),participants (61.42%±11.65%),clarity of expression (59.98%±9.62%),and application (52.94%±16.90%) . Eleven of the guidelines were at level B, and three were at level A. In the stratified analysis,the score of the guideline formulated by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association was lower. There was little difference between the scores of Chinese/Western and Western medicine guidelines. The average score of the guidelines was higher than the consensus. Funded guidelines and consensus scores were higher. In the longitudinal comparison,the highest number of guidelines were developed in 2020 and 2021,while those developed in 2023 scored the highest. In the differential comparison analysis,the content of the guidelines was more comprehensive, and the evidence level was higher,while the content of the consensus was more novel, and the evidence was less. ConclusionThe AGREE Ⅱ score of the clinical guidelines for acute myocardial infarction is generally moderate,and there is room for improvement in terms of applicability. At the same time,the content quality of expert consensus should be improved,and more efforts should be made to develop and apply Chinese medicine guidelines for complications such as heart failure and microcirculatory obstruction after acute myocardial infarction.

Objective:To construct an ultrasound-responsive nano-oxygen carrier,and to enhance cell survival within myocardial patches and promote myocardial infarction(MI)repair.Methods:Ultrasound-responsive phase-change nanobubbles(ND)were first prepared and integrated into GelMA hydrogel to construct myocardial patches. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound(LIPUS)irradiation was applied to explore whether the nanobubbles could optimize the hydrogel properties. Hemoglobin(Hb)was further encapsulated into the nanobubbles to construct an oxygen carrier(ND-Hb). In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to evaluate whether the optimized myocardial patches could improve cell survival and facilitate MI repair. In vitro,cell-loaded patches were divided into 6 groups(control,ND,Hb,LIPUS,LIPUS+ND,and LIPUS+oxygen carrier groups)to assess the cell viability and protein expression. In vivo,an acute MI model was established in SD rats,which were randomly assigned to 4 groups(control,Hb,LIPUS+ND,and LIPUS+oxygen carrier groups).Myocardial patches were implanted,and cardiac function(echocardiography),cell survival(BLI imaging),angiogenesis(CD31 and α-SMA immunofluorescence)and connexin protein expression(Cx43)were evaluated. Results:Following the incorporation of ND and LIPUS irradiation,scanning electron microscopy revealed numerous micropores(about 2 μm)within the hydrogel were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The nano-oxygen carrier was successfully constructed,with a particle size of(301.2 ± 92.4)nm,and released oxygen under LIPUS stimulation. In vitro,at days 3,7,and 14,the cell survival rates in the LIPUS+oxygen carrier group[(89.6 ± 2.1)%,(79.3 ± 1.8)%,(70.9 ± Conclusions:This study successfully employs LIPUS combined with ND-Hb to enhance hydrogel properties,facilitating nutrient exchange within myocardial patches. Additionally,ultrasound-mediated oxygen release improves seed cell survival and promotes myocardial infarction repair.
