"Baishideng Publishing Group newly introduced an indicator to measure the value of journals in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology on the year of 2022. The indicator is named Journal Article Influence Index, which is defined as total citations divided by total articles that were published since DOI number was assigned for and were not limited to original articles and review articles but include all types of articles. In this manuscript, the authors highlighted 20 journals according to Journal Article Influence Index. The authors argue that the index is a more objective, fair, and transparent calculation of the academic influence index of an academic journal; however, it is necessary to compare the usefulness with other indicators, such as Impact Factor, H-index, and so on, to confirm the advantage of Journal Article Influence Index."

"The article reviews the literature data on mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) transplantation as a treatment method for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) conforming to the advantages of this method, namely immunomodulatory and nutritional functions of MSCs. Taking into account that immune factors may be very important in the pathogenesis of IBD, MSCs have become promising candidates for the treatment of autoimmune diseases influencing the phenotype and function of innate immune cells. The authors discuss the strategies for enhancing the therapeutic effect of MSCs in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease together with combined treatment with conventional drugs, pretreatment and gene modification. Pretreatment of MSC includes bioactive substances, hypoxic preconditioning and modification of culture methods. These methods form the basis of new strategies of the clinical application of MSCs in the treatment of IBD to achieve prolonged remission and halt any ongoing . The article is supplemented with 2 figures of a very good quality and 1 informative table. The language in the article is very good and clear. The list of references includes 121 articles from 2015 to 2022 on the topic of the review. The article gives a detailed and qualified overview of the problem, which is very useful for experts in the field."

Abstract
We recently read with interest the article“ Novel therapeutic diiminoquinone exhibits anticancer effects on human colorectal cancer cells in two-dimensional and three-dimensional in vitro models”, this original article was using 2D/3D models of CRC demonstrating the efficacy of anti-tumor with Diiminoquinone (DQI). through further research and analysis, we feel obliged to offer some relevant insights. These comments may deepen our understanding in the context of the three-dimensional (3D) drug screening models and pathological subtypes have different responses to chemotherapies.
Keywords: Colorectal cancer, Diiminoquinone, 3D-bioprinting, Pathological subtypes, Drug screening
Core Tip: Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, for inoperable colorectal cancer, chemotherapy is the main treatment option. We recently read with interest the article” Novel therapeutic diiminoquinone exhibits anticancer effects on human colorectal cancer cells in two-dimensional and three-dimensional in vitro models”. We would like to share our opinion on this article and hope that it will be of some help to the authors and readers
TO THE EDITOR
We read with pleasure the article by Alissar Monzer et al. Within this article, the authors assessed the potential anti-tumor effects of Diiminoquinone（DIQ）in Colorectal cancer(CRC) two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) models. Furthermore, the in vivo anti-tumor ability assessment was evaluated using an in vivo model. The authors showed that DIQ could potentially be therapeutic, and inhibit proliferation, invasion, and migration of the tumor cells, by Wnt/-catenin and AKT and ERK pathways.
The salient highlight of this article was using multiple 3D models to independent validation of this compound for treatment in CRC. The tumor microenvironment provides essential signals to guide tumor growth and survival[1, 2]. The conventional 2D culture system has long been used in studies of chemotherapy responses. However, the 2D model cannot maintain the interactions of tumor cells, which further complicates the successful translation into the clinic. The authors successfully established the Sphere formation with tumor cell lines, the salient feature of Cancer stem cells (CSCs), and derived-organoid culture with colon tumor tissue. In subsequent studies, DIQ triggered selective tumor inhibition, but not of normal cells, which verified the safety and efficacy.
We found some details through further research and analysis and feel obliged to offer some relevant insights. The main role of 3D culture models aimed to mimic the native tumor microenvironment. Tumor microenvironment (TME) and intercellular communication can affect various signal transduction processes in cancer cells. The sphere formation assay is a classic functional approach for studying tumor stem cells. However, this method lack cell-to-cell communication in cancer cells and interstitial cells. 3D-printing is capable of fabricating complex 3D structures with multiple cell types, extracellular matrix components, and growth and signaling factors[3], we consider 3D-bioprinting can use multiple cell types in 3D architecture to better imitate the TME and then in developing more accurate therapeutic drug compared to 2D models[4]. Recently, various 3D-bioprinting drug screening models were reported to achieve higher predictive rates for drug response and novel drug development[2, 5]. Furthermore, 3D-bioprinting could as the foundation for future precision medicine for drug screening.
Another interesting finding by Alissar Monzer et al was the DIQ showed the chemotherapy sensitivity in mucinous neoplasms, special pathological subtypes in CRC[6]. The first‐line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) usually involves chemotherapy. Previous studies demonstrated that patients with mucinous tumors with lesser involves either irinotecan‐ or oxaliplatin‐based chemotherapy benefit with than patients with non-mucinous tumor[7]. In the following, the anti-tumor mechanism of DQI was proved that was activating γH2AX expression to inducer of DNA damage. However, due to the small size of the tissue sample and the low rate of deriving colon patient-derived organoids, the effectiveness of chemotherapy in mucinous tumors needs to be addressed with further research. This may provide directions for targeted therapy with differentiated subtype interventions.
In summary, this original article was using 2D/3D models of CRC demonstrating the efficacy of anti-tumor with DQI. However, in light of the complexity of CRC tumor and individual differences in patients, the detailed underlying mechanisms still need much more studies for rational and effective treatment innovation.

"This article has the following shortcomings:
1. When the blood pressure increases and the heart rate slows down, the blood pressure should be lowered first, but atropine should not be given. As a result, the blood pressure will further increase with the increase of the heart rate. The patient's basic heart rate will be 52 times/min, and after dropping to 41 times/min, after atropine was given, the heart rate maintained at 60-70 times/min, which shows that there are deficiencies in the treatment.
2. The patient did not have adrenal gland examination after operation, and pheochromocytoma could not be excluded."

"In the Table 1-5, the authors often use the P<0.0167; P<0.005; P<0.0083......which does not make any sense, P<0.05 already means it have statistical difference, or the authors can also say that P<0.01 if the difference is obvious. This leads to the results section a bit confusing somehow. "
