Mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2), a member of the multimeric lectin family, is crucial in immune regulation and tumor development. gene polymorphisms are associated with the risk and prognosis of various tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Its functional role in HCC remains largely unclear.

Methods: 1137 patients with ovarian lesions in Zhujiang Hospital and 518 patients in others hospital in China were randomly assigned to training, test and external validation cohorts. Five machine learning classifiers, including Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), Support Vector Classifier (SVC), K-nearest Neighbor (KN), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and the Lasso-Logistics prediction model (LLRM) were used to derive diagnostic information from 23 predictors.

Background: Thumb rubbing is one of the widely accepted massage techniques, owing to its simple and effective operation. Exploring the biomechanical characteristics of the thumb rubbing method can assist the understanding of the operating characteristics of manipulation, thereby improvising the therapeutic role of manipulation.
Objective: To study the kinematic and kinetic characteristics of the thumb kneading method from the biomechanical point of view, and to quantitatively analyze the key points of thumb kneading operation.
Background: Previous studies showed that local vibration stimulation therapy was effective in relieving fatigue, and the effects of different modes of vibration stimulation therapy were further investigated.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of different vibration stimulation modes on relieving acute exercise fatigue based on the multiphysiological indicators such as heart rate variability (HRV), skin conductance level (SCL), and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) subjective scale.
Methods: Sixty participants selected from the dragon boat team of the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were divided into acupoint stimulation group (20 participants), muscle stimulation group (20 participants), and control group (20 participants) by complete randomization.
Background: Acute sports fatigue impairs athletes' performance and causes other health issues; therefore, an effective method of relieving acute sports fatigue is being researched.
Objective: The present study was envisaged to evaluate the effect of electric auto-massage therapy and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitated (PNF) stretching method on the recovery of acute exercise fatigue using the heart rate variability-based multi-physiological index and RPE scale, and to explore the underlying principle and mechanism.
Method: Sixty volunteers were divided into the stretching group, massage group and control group (20 subjects each) using the complete randomization method.
Background: In the present scenario, there is no unified measurement standard for the five basic requirements of the Tuina manipulation, such as "lasting, uniform, gentle, powerful and penetrating", and the descriptions that are solely based on the words are difficult to interpret. As a result, a quantitative study of the Tuina manipulation can aid in the development of a unified standard for Tuina manipulation, thereby assisting the transmission and advancement of the Tuina science.
Objective: Using the Tuina manipulation data gloves and data collection system, and taking Ding's rolling manipulation as the research object, the present study explored the necessity and significance of quantitative research on the inheritance and development of traditional Tuina manipulation.
