Performance Assessment of Large Language Models in Medical Consultation: A Comparative Study.

Background: The recent introduction of generative artificial intelligence (AI) as an interactive consultant has prompted an interest in assessing its applicability in medical discussions and consultations, particularly in the domain of depression.

Objective: This study assessed the capability of Large Language Models (LLMs) in AI to generate responses to depression-related queries.

Methods: Utilizing the PubMedQA and QuoraQA datasets, we compared various LLMs, such as BioGPT, PMC-Llama, GPT-3.

Effect of Korean red ginseng extract on liver damage induced by short-term and long-term ethanol treatment in rats.

Korean red ginseng (KRG) is prepared by the process of steaming the roots of Panax ginseng. In this study, the feeding effects of KRG-water extract (KRGE) on ethanol-induced liver damage were elucidated by measuring serum biomarkers in rats. Serum γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (γ-GT) activity and the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) were significantly increased by short-term and long-term ethanol treatment in rats, whereas the activities of serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) did not respond.
