ChatGPT's role in creating multiple-choice questions (MCQs) is growing but the validity of these artificial-intelligence-generated questions is unclear. This literature review was conducted to address the urgent need for understanding the application of ChatGPT in generating MCQs for medical education. Following the database search and screening of 1920 studies, we found 23 relevant studies. ⋯ Main messages Ensure high-quality outputs by utilizing well-designed prompts; medical educators should prioritize the use of detailed, clear ChatGPT prompts when generating MCQs. Avoid using ChatGPT-generated MCQs directly in examinations without thorough review to prevent inaccuracies and ensure relevance. Leverage ChatGPT's potential to streamline the test development process, enhancing efficiency without compromising quality.

We aimed to explore the causal relationship between human serum metabolites and angina pectoris. ⋯ We identified 25 high-risk and 17 protective human serum metabolites associated with angina pectoris. Their associated major metabolic pathways were also determined. The serum metabolite pipecolate was significantly and positively correlated with the risk of angina pectoris. This finding may serve as a valuable reference for testing serum markers associated with angina pectoris.
