To conduct a bibliometric and keyword analysis on the domestic and international literature of medical artificial intelligence (AI) ethics, explore the research frontiers, hotspots, and development trends in this field, and provide references for promoting the construction of China’s ethical governance system on medical AI. Utilizing CiteSpace software, a comparative analysis was conducted between the reviewed domestic and international literature regarding their publication volume, author and institutional collaboration networks, as well as keyword co-occurrence, clustering, timeline graph, and burst, to explore the research hotspots and development trends in the field. A total of 2 393 Chinese and English publications were included. In recent years, research topics in medical AI ethics both domestically and internationally focused on three aspects, encompassing their theoretical research, emerging domains and their ethical risks, as well as the ethical governance and regulation of medical AI. International research hotspots included federated learning, computer-aided detection, informed consent, and other aspects, whereas domestic research hotspots were smart healthcare, responsibility ethics, ethical values, and other aspects. Internationally, greater attention was placed on ethical issues concerning population health and healthcare in the public health domain, whereas domestic research topics tended to focus more on theoretical discussions and the establishment of ethical principles. The ethical governance of medical AI represents a shared global challenge, necessitating enhanced research into both the variances and commonalities in this field.

The prelimbic cortex (PL) plays a critical role in processing both the sensory and affective components of pain. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we observed a reduction in hyperpolarization-activated cation current (Ih) in layer V pyramidal neurons of the contralateral PL in a mouse model of spared nerve injury (SNI). The expression of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated 2 (HCN2) channels was also decreased in the contralateral PL. Conversely, microinjection of fisetin, a partial agonist of HCN2, produced both analgesic and anxiolytic effects. Additionally, we found that cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) was activated in the contralateral PL, where it formed a complex with HCN2 and phosphorylated its C-terminus. Knockdown of CDK5 restored HCN2 expression and alleviated both pain hypersensitivity and anxiety-like behaviors. Collectively, these results indicate that CDK5-mediated dysfunction of HCN2 in the PL underlies nerve injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity and anxiety.

Objective:To understand the current status and influencing factors for science and technology ethics awareness among medical postgraduates, explore scientific cultivation path, and provide empirical evidence for higher medical colleges to carry out science and technology ethics education.Methods:The study adopted a cluster sampling method and designed a questionnaire. A total of 2 095 medical postgraduates from Hebei Medical University participated in the survey from June to December 2023. SPSS 24.0 was used for non-parametric tests, and the ordered logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors.Results:A total of 1 992 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 95.08% (1 922/2 095). The qualified rate of science and technology ethics awareness among medical postgraduates was 90.76% (1 808/1 992), with 48.24% (961/1 992) of students falling into the good interval and 16.21% (323/1 992) falling into the excellent interval. The regression analysis showed that sex, academic category, students' attention to science and technology ethical issues, and understanding of ethical principles were significant influencing factors for medical postgraduates' science and technology ethics awareness ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The science and technology ethics awareness of medical postgraduates is at a medium level. Higher medical colleges should start from the needs and adhere to the direction of lifelong education to build a multi-subject, all-round, and all-process cultivation path. They can help students cultivate ethical awareness by improving the educational system, building a scientific teaching system, and creating a social education atmosphere. They can also help students internalize ethical norms and externalize them in their behaviors, and ensure that they can maintain ethical sensitivity in scientific and technological activities, thereby cultivating high-quality new medical and health professionals who can anticipate scientific and technological risks and assume ethical responsibilities.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of guidelines/consensus on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in China and globally. METHODS PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP, and release websites of guidelines/consensus in China and globally were searched to collect guidelines/expert consensus on TDM with anti-TNF-α for IBD patients. The search period was from database establishment to June 2023. After two investigators independently screened the literature and extracted the data, the methodological quality of the included guidelines/consensuses was evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ. The main recommendations of the included guidelines/consensuses were summarized. RESULTS A total of 9 articles were included, 3 were guidelines and 6 were expert consensus. The standardized percentages of the 9 guidelines/consensus in the 6 dimensions (scope and aims, participants, rigor of formulation, clarity of expression, application, and editorial independence) were 90.43%, 41.98%, 52.55%, 85.49%, 19.00%, and 76.85%, respectively. Eight guidelines/consensus had a recommendation of grade B and one consensus of grade C. The main recommendations involve TDM application scenarios, threshold ranges, strategy adjustments, detection methods, and interpretation of results. Most guidelines/consensus recommend passive TDM for non-responders. It is recommended to set the TDM concentration range according to the expected treatment results and make strategy adjustments in combination with the disease condition and TDM results. Additionally, the same test method is recommended for the same patient. Some guidelines/consensus hold that no differences were noted in the interpretation of results between biosimilar and original drug. CONCLUSIONS The overall quality of the included guidelines/consensus was fair, with relatively consistent recommendation. Clinicians need to understand the characteristics and limitations of TDM with this class of drugs, and interpret and apply results of TDM in combination with specific clinical treatment goals.
