		                        			N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP) is an antipyretic analgesic commonly used in clinical practice, and APAP overdose can cause severe liver injury and even death. In recent years, the incidence rate of APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) tends to increase, and it has become the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide. Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process that removes unwanted cytosolic proteins and organelles through lysosomal degradation to achieve the metabolic needs of cells themselves and the renewal of organelles. A large number of studies have shown that autophagy plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AILI, involving the mechanisms such as APAP protein conjugates, oxidative stress, JNK activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory response and apoptosis. This article elaborates on the biological mechanism of autophagy in AILI, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of AILI and the development of autophagy regulators.

		                        			The incidence rate of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is increasing year by year with unknown mechanisms, and the treatment methods for DILI mainly include drugs, liver support systems, and liver transplantation, all of which have certain limitations. Therefore, the search for safer and more effective treatment methods has become a research hotspot at present. Studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes can alleviate liver injury by reducing liver inflammation, promoting hepatocyte proliferation and regeneration, inhibiting the apoptosis of hepatocytes, improving oxidative stress, and regulating immunity. This article briefly reviews the role of mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes in the treatment of DILI, so as to provide a reference for further research.

In recent years, the number of patients with vaginal relaxation has increased year by year, and the minimally invasive vaginal contraction has been carried out more and more widely in clinical practice, but the treatment normalization and safety have not been thoroughly studied. We summarized six cases of characteristics and treatment measures for patients with various complications after minimally invasive vaginal contraction surgery from September 2021 to December 2023 at Department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The patients' age ranged from 26 to 44 years. Two cases accepted vaginal contraction with embedded vaginal thread, and four accepted vaginal contraction with acellular allogenic dermis. One patient showed vaginal hyper-tightness, one patient showed subcutaneous suture nodules, two patients showed explosion of acellular allogenic dermis, and three patients showed vaginal infection symptoms such as yellow leucorrhea and peculiar smell. All patients had sexual pain and discomfort. One patient underwent vaginal orifice dilation, one patient underwent suture extraction and secondary vaginal contraction, one patient underwent acellular allogenic dermis extraction and immediate vaginal contraction, two patients underwent acellular allogenic dermis extraction and secondary vaginal contraction, and one patient underwent secondary vaginal contraction. The symptoms of all six patients were relieved after treatment. Despite the short operation time and fast postoperative recovery of minimally invasive vaginal contraction, there are still complications after surgery, causing physical and mental damage to patients. Plastic surgeons, therefore, should be cautious in the treatment process to avoid collateral damage, so that patients get the best treatment effect.

MethodsThe patent data of traditional Chinese medicine compounds for the treatment of depression were searched from inception to July 1st, 2022 on the Patent Publication Announcement website of China National Intellectual Property Administration. The selected traditional Chinese medicine compounds were analyzed by using the data mining section of the ancient and modern medical record cloud platform (V2.3.5) for drug frequency, and based on this, the nature, flavor, channel entry and function of the medicinals were analyzed. Representative high-frequency herbal combinations were obtained through correlation analysis, while the classification of Chinese medicine compounds for depression was analyzed by cluster analysis, and the core combinations of herbs for the treatment of depression were screened out using complex network analysis. ResultsA total of 325 Chinese medicine compounds were included, involving 452 herbs, with a total frequency of 3532 times. The top 10 mostly used herbs were Yujin (Radix Curcumae, 122 times), Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri, 122 times), Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba, 109 times), Suanzaoren (Spina Date Seed, 95 times), Fuling (Poria, 94 times), Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 94 times), Yuanzhi (Radix Polygalae, 84 times), Baizhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, 72 times), Shichangpu (Rhizoma Acori Graminei, 71 times), and Danshen (Salvia Miltiorrhiza, 61 times). The natures of the herbs were mainly warm (998 times), neutral (944 times), slightly cold (596 times) and cold (497 times); the flavors were mainly sweet (1648 times), acrid (1392 times), and bitter (1337 times); the channels of entry were mainly liver (1695 times), heart (1521 times), spleen (1326 times) and lung (1268 times). The medicinals with the function of soothing liver to relieve constraint, moistening the intestines to promote defecation, calming the heart and the mind, moving qi to relieve constraint were used more frequently. The high frequency herbal combinations by association analysis included “Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri)→ Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba)”, “Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis)→Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri)” and “Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba)→ Yujin (Radix Curcumae)”. The 22 high frequency medicinals used more than 40 times could be clustered into six categories. Complex network analysis found the core herbal combination for the treatment of depression was the formula of Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri), Yujin (Radix Curcumae), Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba), Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), Fuling (Poria), Suanzaoren (Spina Date Seed), and Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma). ConclusionTraditional Chinese medicine compounds for the treatment of depression is mainly based on the pathogenesis of constraint, stasis and deficiency, focusing on the liver, heart, spleen and lung, commonly using medicinals with the function of soothing liver to relieve constraint, fortifying spleen and nourishing heart, regulating qi and invigorating blood, and moistening the intestines to promote defecation, which can provide a reference for the clinical treatment and new drug research and development for depression.
