ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#Here, we explored molecular changes that could potentially mediate healing effects of Gua Sha - a method employed by the Chinese traditional medicine with proven track records of safe and efficient applications dating back to ancient times as well as support from randomized controlled trials performed by modern medical studies - yet remaining almost entirely unexplored by the modern-day high-throughput methods of the -omics sciences.@*METHODS@#We investigated transcriptome changes occurring shortly after Gua Sha treatment in the whole blood of healthy volunteers using bulk RNA-seq analysis. We applied various analytical tools to identify genes with consistent expression changes in multiple individuals in response to Gua Sha and their networks.@*RESULTS@#We found that while the changes were very subtle and individual-specific, we could identify consistent upregulation of three histone genes. Further analysis of the potential regulatory networks of these histone genes revealed the enrichment of functions involved in the immune response and inflammation.@*CONCLUSION@#The significance of these results in the context of potential effects of Gua Sha and the next steps in exploring the molecular mechanisms of action of this technique are discussed.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Lycium barbarum (also called wolfberry), a famous Chinese traditional medicine and food ingredient, is well recognized for its significant role in preventing obesity; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying its preventive effects on fat accumulation are not well understood yet. The aim of this study was to determine the effects and mechanism of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) on the proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. MTT was used to detect the proliferation of 3T3-Ll preadipocytes. Oil red O staining and colorimetric analysis were used to detect cytosolic lipid accumulation during 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology was used to detect peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor c (PPARc), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein a (C/EBPa), adipocyte fatty-acid-binding protein (aP2), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) expression. RESULTS: The concentration of LBP from 25 to 200 lg/mL showed a tendency to inhibit the growth of preadipocytes at 24 h, and it inhibited the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a dose-dependent manner. In the preadipocytes treated with 200 lg/mL LBP, there were reduced lipid droplets in the cytoplasm, and its effect was opposite to that of rosiglitazone (ROS), which significantly reduced the PPARc, C/EBPa, aP2, FAS, and LPL mRNA expression of adipocytes. CONCLUSIONS: LBP exerts inhibitive effects on the proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and decreases the cytoplasm accumulation of lipid droplets during induced differentiation of preadipocytes toward mature cells. Above phenomenon might link to lowered expression of PPARc, C/EBPa, aP2, FAS, and LPL after LBP treatment. Thus, LBP could serve as a potential plant extract to treat human obesity or improve farm animal carcass quality via adjusting lipid metabolism.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Our previous studies have found that Bushen Tiaogan prescription can significantly reduce pain and improve the clinical symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine in elderly patients with osteoporosis. The clinical effect is positive, but there is no relevant experimental evidence. OBJECTIVE: To explore the safety of Bushen Tiaogan prescription and its therapeutic effect on prednisolone-induced osteoporosis. METHODS: The zebrafish juveniles 5 hours after fertilization were evenly distributed into 24-well plates at a density of 20 per well. Different concentrations of Bushen Tiaogan prescription (crude drug concentrations 10, 50, 100, 250, 500 mg/L) were added to the corresponding wells. The development of the embryos was observed at 24, 48, 72, 96 hours after fertilization, and the cumulative survival rate and hatching rate were used to evaluate the safety of Bushen Tiaogan prescription. The zebrafish juveniles 3 days after fertilization were randomly divided into blank control group (0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide), 25 µmol/L prednisolone model group, alendronate sodium positive drug group and Bushen Tiaogan prescription (10, 50, 100, 250, 500 mg/L) groups, with 40 in each group. The culture fluid was changed every day and executed at the 8th day. Zebrafish juveniles were dyed using alizarin red for microscopic detection and digital imaging and the bone staining area was quantitatively analyzed by image software to evaluate the anti-osteoporosis activity of Bushen Tiaogan prescription. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The low-concentration Bushen Tiaogan prescription had no effect on embryo survival rate and hatching rate, while the high-concentration Bushen Tiaogan prescription could reduce embryo survival rate and hatching rate. Prednisolone, 25 µmol/L, was able to successfully induce significant loss of bone mass in zebrafish. Compared with the model group, 50, 100 and 250 mg/L Bushen Tiaogan prescription could resist prednisolone-induced zebrafish osteoporosis in a concentration-dependent manner. At low concentrations, there was no significant anti-osteoporosis effect, and at high concentrations, anti-osteoporosis effect showed a downward trend. These findings indicate that 25 µmol/L prednisolone successfully induces the establishment of zebrafish osteoporosis model, and successfully evaluates the initial safety of Bushen Tiaogan prescription. Bushen Tiaogan prescription begins to show an anti-osteoporosis effect at 50 mg/L, and has the most significant anti-osteoporosis effect at 250 mg/L.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Gua-sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique, which consists of scraping the skin with a smooth and rounded edges object until the appearance of petechiae. Used domestically in Asia, it is described as capable of promoting the improvement of several conditions (e. g. respiratory, digestive, fever, and insomnia), such as painful conditions. However, there is a shortage of systematic reviews in this respect in Western literature, so this study aimed to analyze the common use of Gua-sha and the methodological quality of the studies. CONTENTS: The PEDro, Pubmed, Scielo and LILACS Databases were consulted, searching for clinical trials with the following keywords and Boolean index: Gua-sha AND pain; Scraping therapy AND pain (English, Portuguese and Spanish). Thirty-two articles were pre-selected, but only six met the inclusion criteria (clinical trial, pain as one of the evaluation criteria, musculoskeletal pain). The disorders reported were related to the spine, with a mostly superior response or similar to the control group, being investigated in the short term (7-21 days). The studies methodological quality were considered moderate according to the PEDro scale. CONCLUSION: Gua-sha is a simple, inexpensive alternative with short-term effects for the treatment of conditions involving the spine and surrounding areas, such as a single intervention or in combination. Its practice is already well referenced but requires studies of high methodological quality and analysis of its effects also in the appendicular skeleton.


RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Gua-sha é uma técnica da Medicina Tradicional Chinesa, que consiste em raspar a pele com objeto de bordas lisas e arredondadas até o surgimento de petéquias. De uso doméstico na Ásia, é descrita como capaz de promover a melhora de uma série de afecções (ex. respiratórias, digestivas, febre e insônia), como a de quadros dolorosos. Contudo, há escassez de revisões sistemáticas a esse respeito na literatura ocidental, assim o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a aplicação usual de Gua-sha e a qualidade metodológica dos estudos. CONTEÚDO: Foram consultadas as bases de dados PEDro, Pubmed, Scielo e LILACS, buscando por ensaios clínicos com as seguintes palavras chaves e índice booleano: Gua-sha AND pain; Scraping therapy AND pain (inglês, português e espanhol). Foram pré-selecionados 32 artigos, mas apenas 6 atenderam os critérios de inclusão (ensaio clínico, dor como um dos critérios de avaliação, quadros álgicos musculoesqueléticos). Os distúrbios registrados foram relacionados à coluna vertebral, com resposta superior em sua maioria ou semelhante ao grupo controle, sendo investigados em curto prazo (7-21 dias). A qualidade metodológica aponta para estudos moderados de acordo com a escala PEDro. CONCLUSÃO: Gua-sha é uma alternativa simples, de baixo custo, com efeitos estudados em curto prazo para tratamento de afecções envolvendo a coluna vertebral e áreas próximas, como intervenção única ou em associação. Sua prática já se encontra bem retratada, porém necessitando de estudos de alta qualidade metodológica e análise de seus efeitos também no esqueleto apendicular.

ABSTRACT

Analisou-se a conjuntura da produção científica, os avanços e os desafios para a implementação das Práticas Integrativas e Complementares (PIC) no Brasil. O estudo se deu por meio de Revisão Integrativa dos artigos indexados nas bases de dados bibliográficas da Rede Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), selecionando-se 68 artigos. Notou-se que a região Sudeste permanece como polo científico e a maior parte dos estudos não possui nível de evidência significativo. No decorrer dos anos, houve pequeno aumento no número de estudos e maior comprovação da eficácia e eficiência das PIC em diversas áreas, porém entraves relacionados a pouca formação profissional, má gestão do Sistema e concepções enraizadas na medicina alopática permanecem e dificultam a ampliação das PIC no país.


We analyzed the scientific production, the advances, and the challenges for the implementation of Integrative and Complementary Practices (ICP) in Brazil. The study was done through an integrative review in the Virtual Health Library, selecting 68 articles. It was noted that the Southeast region continues as a scientific hub, and that most of the studies do not have a significant level of evidence. Over the years, there has been a small increase in the number of studies and greater evidence of the effectiveness and efficiency of ICP in several areas. However, problems related to poor professional training, bad management of the system, and concepts rooted in allopathic medicine remain, and hinder the expansion of ICP in Brazil.

ABSTRACT

La enfermedad fibroquística constituye la afección más frecuente de la mama durante la etapa de la madurez sexual. Más del 30 % de las mujeres en Cuba la padece. En la Medicina Tradicional China esta se corresponde mayoritariamente con la categoría Ru-Pi. Con el objetivo de identificar las características de esta afección desde la perspectiva de la Medicina Tradicional China, se desarrolló una búsqueda a través de la Biblioteca Virtual de la Salud de Infomed, en varias bases de datos internacionales, y en la Biblioteca del Servicio de Referencia Provincial de Medicina Natural y Tradicional de Matanzas. Fueron revisados 32 artículos y 17 libros sin limitación de año y país, seleccionándose 27 de ellos con calidad, los que se ajustaban a los objetivos de la investigación. Ru-Pi se define ampliamente como un nódulo (o nódulos) de apariencia duradera en las mamas, los que no son supurativos. Se diferencian según el diagnóstico sindrómico tradicional en estancamiento de Qi de hígado, estancamiento de Qi de hígado transformado en fuego, estancamiento de Qi de hígado que concomita con Xu (deficiencia) de Yin y estancamiento de Qi que concomita con desarmonía de los canales Chong y Ren, fundamentalmente. Se expusieron los principios de tratamiento de esta enfermedad y los esquemas terapéuticos definidos según el modelo de la Medicina Tradicional China.


The fibrocystic disease is the most frequent mamma disorder during the stage of sexual maturity. More than 30 % of the women in Cuba suffer from that disease. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it corresponds mainly with Ru-Pi category. With the aim of identifying the characteristics of this disease from the perspective of the Traditional Chinese Medicine, a search was carried out in the Health Virtual Library Infomed, in several international databases and in the Library of the Provincial Reference Service of Traditional and Natural Medicine of Matanzas. 32 articles and 17 books were reviewed without limitation of edition year and country, choosing 27 of them qualitatively adjusted to the research aims. Ru-Pi is widely defined as a long-lasting appearance nodule (or nodules) in the mamma; these nodules are not suppurative. They are differenced according to the traditional syndrome diagnosis mainly as liver Qi stagnation, liver Qi stagnation transformed in fire, liver Qi stagnation concomitant with Xu (deficiency) of Yin, and Qi stagnation concomitant with Chon and Ren canals disharmony. There it were exposed the treatment principles of this disease and the therapeutic schemes defined according to the models of the Traditional Chinese Medicine.

ABSTRACT

Los orígenes de la medicina tradicional china en Cuba datan de la época colonial, cuyas técnicasfueronintroducidas a través de los inmigrantes chinos. Es muy frecuentelautilización, tanto en el argot popular como médico,delrefrán: "A ese no lo cura ni el médico chino".El origen de esta frase es real, y proviene del poco conocido JuanCham-Bom-Bian. La mayor parte de su estancia en Cuba ocurrió entre la sciudades de La Habana y Cárdenas; enesta última ocurrió su misteriosa muerte. El objetivo de esta investigación histórica es realizar una breve reseña de la vida y obra del enigmático Juan Cham-Bom-Bian: "e lmédico chino" de Cuba. La búsqueda y recopilación de información se realizó a partir de diversas fuentes en artículos de revistas y libros de historia de los siglos XIX yXX, disponibles en el archivo histórico municipal de Cárdenas. La existencia de este singular personaje continúa siendo una incógnita para los historiadores de nuestro tiempo. JuanCham-Bom-Bian constituye uno de los primeros precursores de la medicina tradicional china enCuba.


The origins of the Chinese traditional medicine in Cuba date from the colonial time whose techniques were introduced throughtheChinese immigrants. It is very frequent the use so much in the popular jargonas doctor of the proverb: "to that it doesn't save him neither the Chinese doctor". The origin of this sentence is real, and Cham-Bom-Biáncomes from the not very well-known Juan. Most of their stayin Cuba happened between the cities of Havana and Cárdenas; in Cardenas City happened their mysterious death. The objective of the present historica larticle is tocarry out a brief review of the life and work of the enigmatic JuanCham-Bom-Bián: "the Chinese doctor" of Cuba. The search and summary of information was carried out starting from diverse sourcesof information: articles of magazines and books of history of the available XIX and XX centuries in municipal historical file of Cárdenas City. Their existence continues being a secret for the historians of our time. JuanCham-Bom-Bián was one of the first precursors of the Chinese traditional medicine in Cuba.

ABSTRACT

O desequilíbrio propiciado pelo stress desencadeia uma série de prejuízos aos diversos setores da vida dos indivíduos. A presença de stress pode desencadear o desenvolvimento de inúmeras doenças e propiciar um prejuízo para a qualidade de vida e produtividade do ser humano. A Medicina Tradicional Chinesa pode ser instrumento eficaz de avaliação e tratamento da presença do stress por visar à reorganização homeostática do organismo. Baseando-se na manutenção da qualidade de vida do ser humano, o presente estudo objetivou realizar uma revisão bibliográfica da sintomatologia do stress sob a ótica da Medicina Tradicional Chinesa. As relações encontradas entre a sintomatologia do stress e a Medicina Tradicional Chinesa foram: Vazio de Qi/Yang do Coração (Cansaço e Desgaste Físico), Estagnação do Qi do Fígado (Tensão Muscular), Fogo Fleuma do Coração, Estagnação do Qi do Coração e Fígado e Deficiência de Qi, Yin ou Sangue do Coração (Ansiedade/Angustia diária), Mucosidade-Fogo no Estômago e Coração (Pensamentos constantes em um só assunto), o Fogo no Coração que consome o Yin e Vazio de Sangue do Coração (Insônia). Estas inter-relações entre a Medicina Ocidental e a Medicina Tradicional Chinesa poderão ser importantes no direcionamento efetivo do tratamento da sintomatologia do stress.


The imbalance brought by stress triggers a series of burdens in various sectors of an individual?s life. The presence of stress can trigger the development of numerous diseases and cause a detriment to the quality of life and productivity of human beings. Traditional Chinese Medicine can be an effective tool to evaluate and treat stress symptoms, as it aims at the homeostatic reorganization of the body. This study aimed to conduct a literature review of stress symptoms from the perspective of the Traditional Chinese Medicine, based in maintenance of quality of life. The observed relations between stress symptoms and Traditional Chinese Medicine wereHeart Qi/Yang Deficiency (Physical Fatigue and Wear), Liver Qi Stagnation (Muscle Tension), Heart Phlegm Fire, Heart and Liver Qi Stagnation and Heart Qi/Yin/Blood Deficiency (Daily Anxiety/Anguish), Mucus-Fire in Stomach and Heart (Repetitive thoughts), Heart Fire that consumes the Yin and Heart Blood Emptiness (Insomnia). Such interrelationships between western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine can be important in treatment of the symptoms of stress.

ABSTRACT

Objective To confirm subject headings which are prepared to be added, deleted and modified in the class of traditional Chinese medicine and related disciplines (TG class) for the new edition of Chinese Traditional Medicine and Materia Medica Subject Headings (CTMMeSH). Methods Compiling principle, word frequency statistics and database retrieval results were considered. Other references, such as MeSH, were also used to help choose subject headings of TG class.
