Until now, significant healthcare challenges and growing urgent clinical requirements remain incompletely addressed by presently available biomedical materials. This is due to their inadequate mechanical compatibility, suboptimal physical and chemical properties, susceptibility to immune rejection, and concerns about long-term biological safety. As an alternative, liquid metal(LM) opens up a promising class of biomaterials with unique advantages like biocompatibility, flexibility, excellent electrical conductivity,and ease of functionalization. However, despite the unique advantages and successful explorations of LM in biomedical fields, widespread clinical translations and applications of LM-based medical products remain limited. This article summarizes the current status and future prospects of LM biomaterials, interprets their applications in healthcare, medical imaging, bone repair, nerve interface, and tumor therapy, *** to translate LM materials into medicine and obstacles encountered in practices are *** that, we outline a blueprint for LM clinics, emphasizing their potential in making new-generation artificial organs. Last, the core challenges of LM biomaterials in clinical translation, including bio-safety,material stability, and ethical concerns are also discussed. Overall, the current progress, translational medicine bottlenecks, and perspectives of LM biomaterials signify their immense potential to drive future medical breakthroughs and thus open up novel avenues for upcoming clinical practices.

Objective: To assess efficacy of Chinese medicine(CM) on insomnia considering characteristics of treatment based on syndrome differentiation. Methods: A total of 116 participants aged 18 to 65 years with moderate and severe primary insomnia were randomized to the placebo(n=20) or the CM group(n=96) for a 4-week treatment and a 4-week follow-up. Three CM clinicians independently prescribed treatments for each patient based on syndromes differentiation. The primary outcome was change in total sleep time(TST) from baseline. Secondary endpoints included sleep onset latency(SOL), wake time after sleep onset(WASO), sleep efficiency, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) and CM symptoms. Results: The CM group had an average 0.6 h more(95% confidence interval(CI): 0.3–0.9, P<0.001) TST and 34.1%(10.3%–58.0%, P=0.005) more patients beyond 0.5 h TST increment than that of the placebo group. PSQI was changed –3.3(–3.8 to –2.7) in the CM group, a –2.0(–3.2 to –0.8, P<0.001) difference from the placebo group. The CM symptom score in the CM group decreased –2.0(–3.3 to –0.7, P=0.003) more than the placebo group. SOL and WASO changes were not significantly different between groups. The analysis of prescriptions by these clinicians revealed blood deficiency and Liver stagnation as the most common syndromes. Prescriptions for these clinicians displayed relative stability, while the herbs varied. All adverse events were mild and were not related to study treatment. Conclusions: CM treatment based on syndrome differentiation can increase TST and improve sleep quality of primary insomnia. It is effective and safe for primary insomnia. In future studies, the long-term efficacy validation and the exploratory of eutherapeutic clinicians' fixed herb formulas should be addressed.(Registration No. NCT01613183)
