Background: Three-dimensional organoid culture systems have been established as a robust tool for elucidating mechanisms and performing drug efficacy testing. The use of gastric organoid models holds significant promise for advancing personalized medicine research. However, a comprehensive bibliometric review of this bur-geoning field has not yet been published.

Methods: Healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats ( = 36) were acquired in the current study that was further split into three groups: blank, model, and drug (SJHG). Subsequently, differentially expressed proteins and bioinformatics analysis were performed on the collected tissue samples acquired from the anterior cingulate cortex of the model and SJHG rat groups using a tandem mass tag- (TMT-) based proteomics.
Background: Vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) is a rare but potentially severe acquired chronic cholestatic liver disease. Bile duct deficiency is a reduction of bile ducts in the liver, which can eventually lead to cholestatic liver disease and progress to biliary cirrhosis. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is one of the causes of bile duct deficiency.
