[Re-evaluation of systematic reviews of acupuncture and moxibustion for children with cerebral palsy].

Objective: To assess the methodological quality, report quality and evidence quality of the Meta-analysis and systematic reviews of acupuncture and moxibustion for children with cerebral palsy, aiming to provide decision-making basis for clinical treatment.

Methods: The systematic reviews and Meta-analysis of acupuncture and moxibustion for children with cerebral palsy were searched in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, Cochrane Library, PubMed and EMbase. The retrieval time was from the database establishment to June 30th, 2022.

Practitioners' perspectives on acupuncture treatment for postpartum depression: A qualitative study.

Background: Acupuncture may become a treatment for postpartum depression (PPD). Currently, little is known about the use of acupuncture in the treatment of PPD from the point of view of practitioners. The aim of this study was to explore practitioners' perspectives on the treatment of PPD with acupuncture and provide suggestions for future improvement.

Regulation of miR-30b in cancer development, apoptosis, and drug resistance.

miR-30b, which is encoded by the gene located on chromosome 8q24.22, plays an important role in a variety of diseases. In most types of tumors, miR-30b significantly inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells through the regulation of target genes.

Serum-derived exosomes promote CD8+ T cells to overexpress PD-1, affecting the prognosis of hypopharyngeal carcinoma.

Background: Hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC) is associated with a poor prognosis and a high recurrence rate. Immune escape is one of the reasons for the poor prognosis of malignant tumors. Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) have been shown to play important roles in immune escape.

Acupoint Massage Therapy Alters the Composition of Gut Microbiome in Functional Constipation Patients.

Results: Results showed the overall structure of gut microbiome has no significant difference between experimental and control groups. In the genus level, the abundance of and is higher in the experiment group than in the control, whereas that of is less. The 16S KEGG function prediction suggested that Parkinson disease, retinol metabolism, and arachidonic acid metabolism could explain the biological function of different gut microbiome.

[Status of acupuncture service quality control].

In order to guarantee and improve the quality of acupuncture service, the developments of the control of acupuncture service quality in the World Health Organization (WHO) and various countries were summarized. A number of normative documents that could improve acupuncture service security and effectiveness have been developed in WHO and many countries, in which, acupuncture training, safety manipulation and the guidelines for clinical practice of disease have been included. There are great differences in the qualification authentication and management of acupuncture practitioners among different countries.

[Study on Alkaloids of Fruit from Macleaya cordata].

Objective: To study the alkaloids from the fruit of Macleaya cordata.

Methods: The alkaloids were isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography and preparative high performance liquid chromatography,and the structures were elucidated based on the spectral data.

Results: Eight alkaloids were obtained from the fraction of ethanol extract and identified as 6-cyanodihydrosanguinarine( 1),6-acetonyldihydrosanguinarine( 2),6-acetonyldihydrochelerythrine( 3),chelerythrine( 4),dihydrochelerythrine( 5),13,14-dehydrogen-N-methyl-coptisine( 6),N-methyl-canadine( 7) and berberine( 8).

Mass spectrometry-guided isolation of two new benzoquinoline alkaloids from Macleaya cordata.

Two new alkaloids, named 2,3-methylenedioxy-7,10-dimethyl-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-benzoquinoline (1) and 2,3-methylenedioxy-7,10-dimethyl-8-carboxyl-benzoquinoline (2), were detected primarily from the fruits of Macleaya cordata by their different fragmentation pathways. And then isolation of the two compounds was performed by column chromatography and preparative HPLC under the guiding of mass spectrometry. Finally, their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis.
