Verbena officinalis L., called mabiancao in Chinese, is derived from the aerial part of Herba Verbanae. It is a traditional Chinese medicine commonly used in China and northern Europe, which is widely used for clearing away heat and detoxicating, promoting blood circulation, and removing blood stasis. This paper describes a sensitive and specific assay for the determination of four bioactive compounds in V. officinalis L.

Simultaneous determination of four bioactive compounds in Verbena officinalis L. by using high-performance liquid chromatography.

In view of the recognized anti-tumor properties of eugenol against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in cell culture, here we further set out to investigate the potential therapeutic effect of eugenol in vivo and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism. The relative expression levels of TRIM59 and p65 in NSCLC were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Xenograft tumor model was established with TRIM59-deficient H1975 cells, and tumor progression was monitored. Kaplan-Meier's analysis was performed to measure overall survival. Protein levels of TRIM59 and p65 in xenograft tumor were determined by western blot. Direct binding of p65 on the TRIM59 promoter was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, and the regulatory effect was interrogated with luciferase reporter assay. Both TRIM59 and p65 were up-regulated in NSCLC. Eugenol treatment significantly inhibited xenograft tumor progression and prolonged the overall survival of tumor-bearing mice. Mechanistically, eugenol suppressed p65 expression, which subsequently decreased TRIM59 expression. TRIM59 deficiency fully recapitulated the anti-tumoral phenotype elicited by eugenol. Ectopic expression of TRIM59 completely abolished the tumor suppressive effect of eugenol, which underlined the predominant role of TRIM59 in mediating the signaling downstream of eugenol treatment. Eugenol inhibited NSCLC via repression NF-κB-TRIM59 pathway.

Eugenol inhibits non-small cell lung cancer by repressing expression of NF-κB-regulated TRIM59.

Posterior short-segment fixation (SSF) and long-segment fixation (LSF) are two methods for the treatment of Kummell disease, but the safety and effectiveness of these two surgical methods still lack adequate medical evidence. This study aimed to evaluate the two methods.

Efficacy and Safety of Posterior Long-Segment Fixation Versus Posterior Short-Segment Fixation for Kummell Disease: A Meta-Analysis.

Some patients develop long-term symptoms after Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is one of the main symptoms. CFS is characterized by fatigue lasting for more than 6 months accompanied by sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression, which causes a certain degree of harm to both physiological and psychological aspects of the individual. Traditional Chinese exercises (TCEs) are an ancient Chinese therapy and has recently been reported to be effective for CFS. Therefore, we will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis aiming to accurately evaluate the efficacy of TCEs on post-COVID-19 CFS and provide an alternative treatment for post-COVID-19 CFS.

Efficacy of traditional Chinese exercises in patients with post-COVID-19 chronic fatigue syndrome: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

An increasing number of people suffer from chronic neck pain due to increased telecommuting. Manual therapy is considered a safe and less painful method and has been increasingly used to alleviate chronic neck pain. However, there is controversy about the effectiveness of manipulation therapy on chronic neck pain. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to determine the effectiveness of manipulative therapy for chronic neck pain.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of manipulative therapy for patients with chronic neck pain.

Research on the brain mechanisms underlying manual therapy (MT)-induced analgesia has been conducted worldwide. However, no bibliometric analysis has been performed on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of MT analgesia. To provide a theoretical foundation for the practical application of MT analgesia, this study examined the current incarnation, hotspots, and frontiers of fMRI-based MT analgesia research over the previous 20 years.

Bibliometric Analysis of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies on Manual Therapy Analgesia from 2002-2022.
