According to the technology requirements of the fourth national survey of Chinese Materia Medica resources (pilot), suitable investigation method of exploration and suggestions for investigating Chinese Materia Medica resources was proposed based on the type of wetland and artificial water of Hongze Lake region. Environment of Hongze Lake and overview of wetland, present situation of ecology and vegetation and vegetation distribution were analyzed. Establishment of survey plan, selection of sample area and sample square and confirmation of representative water area survey plan were all suggested. The present study provide references for improving Chinese materia medica resources survey around Hongze Lake, and improving the technical specifications. It also provide references for investigating Chinese Materia Medica resources survey on similar ecological environment under the condition of artificial intervention.

Methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) has emerged as a synthetic lethal drug target in cancers bearing homozygous methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) gene deletion. Despite the remarkable progress in the discovery and development of MAT2A inhibitors, current understanding about the selectivity of these compounds toward MTAP-deficient cancers is relatively limited. To improve the selectivity of MAT2A inhibitors for MTAP-deficient cancers remains a significant challenge.

Peritonitis caused by poses a severe threat to patients with end-stage renal failure. Treating multidrug-resistant infections requires the use of antibiotics with diverse mechanisms of action. Caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) is a promising antibacterial target; however, selective activation of (ClpP) over human ClpP (ClpP) remains challenging.

The quality of Chinese materia medica (CMM) is a challenging and focused topic in the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). A profound comprehension of the morphology, structure, active constituents, and dynamic changes during the whole process of CMM growth is essential, which needs highly precise contemporary techniques for in-depth elucidation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a cutting-edge tool integrating the benefits of both nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and imaging technology.
