Acupuncture and moxibustion for chronic fatigue syndrome: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Research into acupuncture and moxibustion and their application for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been growing, but the findings have been inconsistent.

Objective: To evaluate the existing randomized clinical trials (RCTs), compare the efficacy of acupuncture, moxibustion and other traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments.

Data Sources: Three English-language databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library) and 4 Chinese-language biomedical databases (Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang) were searched for RCTs published from database inception through August 2021.

Extensive profiling of circular RNAs and the potential regulatory role of circRNA-000284 in cell proliferation and invasion of cervical cancer via sponging miR-506.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are key regulators in the development and progression of human cancers, however its role in cervical cancer tumorigenesis is not well understood. The present study aims to investigate the expression profiles and potential modulation of circRNA on cervical cancer carcinogenesis. Human circRNA microarray was performed to screen for abnormally expressed circRNA in cervical cancer cells and circRNA-000284 was identified as one circRNA significantly upregulated in cervical cancer cells.
