AIM: To evaluate the performance of three distinct large language models(LLM), including GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and PaLM2, in responding to queries within the field of ophthalmology, and to compare their performance with three different levels of medical professionals: medical undergraduates, master of medicine, and attending physicians.METHODS: A total of 100 ophthalmic multiple-choice tests, which covered ophthalmic basic knowledge, clinical knowledge, ophthalmic examination and diagnostic methods, and treatment for ocular disease, were conducted on three different kinds of LLM and three different levels of medical professionals(9 undergraduates, 6 postgraduates and 3 attending physicians), respectively. The performance of LLM was comprehensively evaluated from the aspects of mean scores, consistency and confidence of response, and it was compared with human.RESULTS: Notably, each LLM surpassed the average performance of undergraduate medical students(GPT-4:56, GPT-3.5:42, PaLM2:47, undergraduate students:40). Specifically, performance of GPT-3.5 and PaLM2 was slightly lower than those of master's students(51), while GPT-4 exhibited a performance comparable to attending physicians(62). Furthermore, GPT-4 showed significantly higher response consistency and self-confidence compared with GPT-3.5 and PaLM2.CONCLUSION: LLM represented by GPT-4 performs well in the field of ophthalmology, and the LLM model can provide clinical decision-making and teaching aids for clinicians and medical education.

Aim To prepare tripterygium glycoside nanoparticles and probe into their therapeutic effect on collagen-induced arthritis ( CIA) rats. Methods Tripterygium glycosides polyglycoside nanoparticles were prepared by thin film dispersion method and their quality was assessed. The CIA model was established and drug intervention performed. The body weight, toe swelling degree and arthritis index were measured. The pathological changes of the organs, knee and ankle synovium were observed. The serum levels of kidney function and inflammatory cytokine expression were detected in rats. Results The prepared tripterygium wil-fordii polyglycoside nanoparticles were round particles with uniform distribution and stable properties under electron microscope. Compared with the model group, the swelling of the left and right toes of medication group significantly decreased (P < 0. 01), and the ar-thritis index markedly decreased ( P < 0. 01). Among them, the efficacy of the TG-NPs group was better than that of the TG group. Compared with the normal group, the indexes of heart, spleen, kidney and testis all significantly decreased (P <0. 05, P<0.01). TG-NPs group had a significantly reduced pathological ankle-joint injury in knee cartilage and increased apoptotic synovial cells. Compared with the model group, the serum levels of ALT and BUN and CRE in TG-NPs group were significantly lower (P < 0. 05 ), and IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 levels decreased significantly (P <0. 05). Conclusions TG-NPs have good therapeutic effect on CIA through induction of synovial cell apoptosis and decrease of the expression of inflammatory cytokines. By intravenous injection of blood circula-tion, slow and controlled release of drugs can be achieved, the first pass effect caused by oral drug can be avoided, the viscera toxicity can be reduced, which provides an experimental basis for the development of new nanoagents for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

The new generation of artificial intelligence technology,represented by deep learning,has emerged as a crucial driving force in the advancement of new drug research and development.This article creatively proposes a workflow named"Molecular Factory"for the design and optimization of drug molecules based on artificial intelligence technology.This workflow integrates intelligent molecular generation models,high-performance molecular docking algorithms,and accurate protein-ligand binding affinity prediction methods.It has been integrated as a core module into DrugFlow,a one-stop drug design software platform,providing a comprehensive set of mature solutions for the discovery and optimization of lead compounds.Utilizing the"Molecular Factory"module,we conducted the research of second-generation inhibitors against Menin that can combat drug resistance.Through the integration of computational and experimental approaches,we rapidly identified multiple promising compounds.Among them,compound RG-10 exhibited the IC50 values of 9.681 nmol/L,233.2 nmol/L,and 40.09 nmol/L against the wild-type Menin,M327I mutant,and T349M mutant,respectively.Compared to the positive reference molecule SNDX-5613,which has entered Phase Ⅱ clinical trials,RG-10 demonstrated significantly enhanced inhibitory activity against the M327I and T349M mutants.These findings fully demonstrate the unique advantages of the"Molecular Factory"technology in practical drug design and development scenarios.It can rapidly and efficiently generate high-quality active molecules targeting specific protein structures,holding significant value and profound implications for advancing new drug discovery.
