[Empirical analysis on lumbar disc herniation treated with "sinew-bone three needling technique" of Chinese medicine].

The paper presents professor 's experience in treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) with "sinew-bone three needling technique" of Chinese medicine. Based on the theory of meridian sinew, the points are located by "three-pass method" in terms of the distribution of meridian sinew and syndrome/pattern differentiation. The cord-like muscles and adhesion are relieved by relaxing technique to work directly on the affected sites and alleviate the local compression to the nerve root.

['s theory and clinical application of "three regions, nine needles and twelve methods"].

The paper introduces the theory and the clinical application of "three regions, nine needles and twelve methods" summarized by professor . On the basis of traditional nine needles and in association with needling technique handed down from family generations, innovated "three regions, nine needles and twelve methods". According to the treating location and anatomical structure, the needling techniques are classified in terms of three regions, i.

Structure characterization, antioxidant and emulsifying capacities of exopolysaccharide derived from Tetragenococcus halophilus SNTH-8.

Tetragenococcus halophilus exopolysaccharides (THPS) are metabolites released by T. halophilus SNTH-8 to resist a high-salt environment. Although many studies have investigated the mechanisms underlying salt tolerance shown by T.

[Experience in treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy by relaxing the sinew of hand three meridians with the tendon-bone needling therapy of Chinese medicine].

The clinical experience of professor - in treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) with the tendon-bone needling therapy of Chinese medicine is introduced. Professor believes that the pathogenesis of CSR is the damage on the neck and the sinew of hand three meridians, the formation of clustered nodules, obstruction in meridians and the stagnation of and blood. In treatment, the tendon-bone needling therapy is mainly adopted to relaxing clustered nodules and the sinew of hand three meridians and promoting and blood circulation.

Revisit gut microbiota and its impact on human health and disease.

Trillions of microbes have evolved with and continue to live on human beings. With the rapid advances in tools and technology in recent years, new knowledge and insight in cross-talk between the microbes and their hosts have gained. It is the aim of this work to critically review and summarize recent literature reports on the role of microbiota and mechanisms involved in the progress and development of major human diseases, which include obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), gout, depression and arthritis, as well as infant health and longevity.
