Physical constitution theory is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine theory. Physical constitution is associated with the incidence, development and prognosis of diseases. Gene polymorphism is a result of the interaction between internal and external environments during the human evolution, and it is the reason for differences in biological characteristics and disease susceptibility of individuals. Current status of the research on physical constitution theory, lung cancer syndromes and gene polymorphism are summarized in this paper. Exploring lung cancer syndromes from the point of view of gene polymorphism may reveal the scientific connotation of lung cancer syndromes, and provide new evidence and method for diagnosis of lung cancer.

Context: Due to therapeutic side effects and physical weakness, patients are not always able to carry out strenuous and lengthy exercises. Hence, this study investigated the effectiveness and feasibility of a short-term Whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) for oncological patients during and after anticancer treatment. The primary aim was to ensure the feasibility of WB-EMS training.

Background: Saryarka sheep belong to fat-tailed coarse-wool sheep breed. This breed is distinguished by increased meat productivity while being competitive in young lamb production. Live weight and body indices are relevant data for assessing sheep body constitution, which directly affects the breeding characteristics and meat productivity of animals.

Article Synopsis
  • Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a significant role in cancer progression, but the impact of liver macrophages (Kupffer cells or KCs) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not well understood.
  • This study uncovers how exosomes from HCC cells convert KCs into TAMs via an IL6-JAK1-ACAP4 signaling pathway, enhancing HCC metastasis.
  • The research also highlights bufalin, a compound that inhibits JAK1, preventing the phosphorylation of ACAP4 and potentially reducing HCC cell migration and metastasis, suggesting its therapeutic promise.
