Backgroud: Cellular senescence is closely related to human aging and multiple aging-related diseases, and impaired mitochondrial energy metabolism is an important mechanism of cellular senescence. Notably, microRNA-125b-1-3p (miR-125b-1-3p) is a microRNA (miR, miRNA) that may be associated with mitochondrial energy metabolism. Ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase binding protein (UQCRB) gene, predicted by bioinformatics tools to be targeted by miR-125b-1-3p, could serve as a novel diagnostic indicator and therapeutic target for cellular senescence-associated diseases, as well as a new idea for delaying aging.

In contrast, non-invasive diagnostic methods, such as ultrasonography, elastography, and clinical prediction scores, can prevent patients from invasiveness-related discomfort and risks and are often chosen as alternative or supplementary diagnostic methods for liver fibrosis or cirrhosis. However, these non-invasive methods cannot specify the pathological grading and early diagnosis of the lesions.

Although Budesonide is recommended as one of the first-line drugs for EoE treatment, its efficacy is still controversial in multiple studies. Due to the continuous emergence of new and reliable research evidence in recent years, we updated the meta-analysis using RCT trial results to evaluate the efficacy and safety of budesonide.

Aim And Objective: Myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and other diseases caused by vascular obstruction have always jeopardized human life and health. Several reports indicate that Rhei Radix et Rhizoma has a good clinical effect in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Owing to the complexity of herbal medicine, the pharmacodynamic mechanism of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma is still unclear.

Owing to its complicated pathogenesis, no satisfactory treatment strategies for stroke are available. Dachengqi decoction (DCQD), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, has been widely used in China for a long time, as it has a good effect on stroke.

Objective To identify serum proteome of ejaculation praecox(EP) with Shen-yang de- ficiency, and to explore its pathogenesis of EP in the protein-protein interaction ( PPI) network. Methods The serum samples were respectively collected from 4 EP with Shen-yang deficiency patients and 4 healthy controls. After the serum proteome of EP with Shen-yang deficiency was obtained, the technology of isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) was adopted for identification.

This study investigated the molecular mechanisms behind warm needling using cDNA microarray technology, thus providing further scientific evidence for its efficacy. Ten patients with knee OA of deficiency-cold syndrome were selected for 2 weeks of warm needling treatment.

When coupling the classical traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Cold Syndrome and methodology of systems biology, we conformed to the genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome that are supposed to run through the overall macro behavior, and explored the macro and micro framework of systems biology of TCM Syndrome. We introduced a new way to probe into the implicit stratification of Cold Syndrome, after surveying 4575 cases of Cold Syndrome patients and examining gene expression information of a typical Cold Syndrome pedigree by microarray.
