ABSTRACT

Depression is a common mental illness that seriously harms to the physical and mental health of human beings. Due to its biological-psychological-social interaction pathogenic feature, researchers hold different opinions for the pathogenesis of depression. Recently, accumulating the clinical and basic researches on the comorbidity of depression and diabetes make the roles of glucose metabolism, especially central glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in the pathogenesis of depression get much more attention. It has been believed that the "liver" and "spleen" are closely related to each other physiologically and pathologically. A large number of studies have confirmed that the core biological connotation of liver-spleen and pathology of traditional Chinese medicine is "emotion-energy network imbalance", which has similarities with the mechanism of glucose metabolism imbalance in depression. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the biological connotation of the liver and spleen with the modern medicine to conduct the further research, which will consequently provide scientific basis for further exploring the pathogenesis of depression and finding complementary and alternative treatment for depression.

ABSTRACT

Parkinson's disease with depression belongs to the category of "tremor syndrome" and "depression syndrome" of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Its syndrome characteristics and distribution are different from simple tremor syndrome and depression syndrome. Its neuroplastic mechanism involves dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Parkinson's disease and depression have common neuro-biological mechanisms. Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment of Parkinson's disease with depression may have a dual regulation effect.

ABSTRACT

DNA methylation studies the natural modification of DNA that occurs when the nucleotide sequence is unchanged. At present, DNA methylation is used in the field of biomedicine to focus on the characteristics and regularity of disease-wide genome methylation and the DNA methylation biomarkers for disease. Based on the systematic review of DNA methylation research techniques, this paper summarizes and analyzes the current status of DNA methylation technology in basic research of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) syndromes, and a suggestion to screen the TCM syndrome biomarkers from whole genome DNA methylation is proposed.

ABSTRACT

The impact factors were explored to determine the horizontal positional relationship between the umbilicus and the 2nd lumbar spinal process in adults and to verify the accuracy of the localization of Shenshu (BL 23) via the umbilicus. The position of the umbilicus and the 2nd lumbar spinal process was measured in 100 participants and the data were analyzed through SPSS 20.0 software. It was found that the umbilicus and the 2nd lumbar process were not positioned horizontally. The positional relationship of these two sites was not apparently correlated with gender, age, body weight, body height, BMI, waistline and discomfort of lumbar region. The umbilicus was commonly and posteriorly projected on the site between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebra. It is explained that the localization of Shenshu (BL23) via the umbilicus is not accurate.
