Bioinformatics Analysis of Genes and Mechanisms in Postherpetic Neuralgia.

Objective: Elderly patients are prone to postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), which may cause anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders and reduce quality of life. As a result, the life quality of patients was seriously reduced. However, the pathogenesis of PHN has not been fully elucidated, and current treatments remain inadequate.

Bioinformatics analysis of gene and microRNA targets for fibromyalgia.

Objectives: Fibromyalgia (FM) is the most common chronic pain disease in middle-aged women. Patients may also complain of migraine, irritable bowel syndrome and depression, which seriously affect their work and life, causing huge economic losses to society. However, the pathogenesis of FM is still controversial and the effect of the current treatment is far from satisfactory.
