[Research progress on the mechanism of acupuncture on depression based on signaling pathway regulation].

Depression is high in prevalence rate, recurrence rate and disability rate. Acupuncture is effective on depression. The paper reviewed the regulatory effect of acupuncture on five prominent signaling pathways, i.

Research progress of acupuncture regulating ERK signaling pathway in the treatment of depression.

Acupuncture treatment for depression has definite therapeutic efficacy, and its mechanism has been extensively studied. The extracellular regulatory protein kinase(ERK) signaling pathway is involved in the development and progression of depression. This article reviewed and summarized the research progress on the regulation of the ERK signaling pathway by acupuncture in the treatment of depression in recent years, focusing on the physiological activation and regulatory mechanism of the ERK signaling pathway, its association with the occurrence of depression, and the mechanisms through which acupuncture activates the ERK signaling pathway to treat depression (including enhancing neuronal synaptic plasticity, promoting the release of neurotrophic factors, and inhibiting neuronal apoptosis).

Assessment of China's contributions to the Regional Network for Asian Schistosomiasis and Other Helminth Zoonoses: a questionnaire survey.

Background: The Regional Network for Asian Schistosomiasis and Other Helminth Zoonoses (RNAS) was established in 1998, which has developed close partnerships with Asian countries endemic for schistosomiasis and other helminthiasis in Asia. RNAS has provided an ideal regional platform for policy-makers, practitioners and researchers on the prevention, control and research of parasitic diseases in Asian countries. China, one of the initiating countries, has provided significant technical and financial support to the regional network.

[Effect of LDHA Knockdown by siRNA on Migration and Invasion of ErbB2 Overexpressing Breast Cancer Cell Line].

Objective: To investigate the effect of small interfering RNA of lactate dehydrogenase A (si) on migration and invasion of epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (ErbB2) over expressing breast cancer cell line SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-453 and its molecular mechanism.

Methods: SK-BR-3 and MDA-MB-453 cells were transfected with si to interfere with the expression of LDHA. The transfection of scramble siRNA was used as negative control.

[The rules of acupoint selection of acupuncture for dry eye].

The rules of acupoint selection of acupuncture for dry eye in recent 10 years were summarized to provide reference for clinical treatment. The clinical researches regarding acupuncture for dry eye published from May 5, 2007 to December 1, 2017 were searched in CNKI, WANFANG and VIP database. The acupoint and meridian used and application frequency were analyzed to summarize the rules of acupoint selection.

Inhibition of Amyloid Aggregation of Bovine Serum Albumin by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate at Submicellar Concentrations.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), as an anionic surfactant, can induce protein conformational changes. Recent investigations demonstrated different effects of SDS on protein amyloid aggregation. In the present study, the effect of SDS on amyloid aggregation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was evaluated.
