Cross-species identification of in silico microsatellite biomarkers for genetic diseaseBioMedicine - Tập 4 - Trang 1-4 - 2014
Hao-Teng Chang, Yu-Yang Lo, Jhen-Li Huang, Wei-Yong Lin, Tun-Wen Pai
Microsatellites appear widely in genomes of diverse species. Variants of repeat
number of microsatellites often correlate with risks of genetic disorder or
severity of diseases. Using cross-species comparison, the proposed system
comprehensively verifies microsatellites of specific genes related to 16 genetic
disorders. Genomic information retrieved from 14 frequently used model organisms
in biome... hiện toàn bộ
Needling therapy for myofascial pain: recommended technique with multiple rapid needle insertionBioMedicine - Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 1-8 - 2014
Chou, Li-Wei, Hsieh, Yueh-Ling, Kuan, Ta-Shen, Hong, Chang-Zern
Myofascial trigger point (MTrP) is a major cause of muscle pain, characterized
with a hyperirritable spot due to accumulation of sensitized nociceptors in
skeletal muscle fibers. Many needling therapy techniques for MTrP inactivation
exist. Based on prior human and animal studies, multiple insertions can almost
completely eliminate the MTrP pain forthwith. It is an attempt to stimulate many
sensit... hiện toàn bộ

The pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), are capable
of self-renewal and differentiation into any cell type, thus making them the
focus of many clinical application studies. However, the efficiency of ESCs
differentiated into neurons needs to improve. In this study, we tried to
increase efficiently to a neural fate in the presence of various transitional
Chinese medicines... hiện toàn bộ
Personalized medicine in Type 2 DiabetesBioMedicine - Tập 4 - Trang 1-8 - 2014
Wen-Ling Liao, Fuu-Jen Tsai
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global public health concern, its prevalence in Asia,
especially Taiwan, rising every year. The risk of developing T2D and diabetes
complications is not only controlled by environmental but also by genetic
factors. Genetic association studies have shown polymorphisms at specific loci
may help identify individuals at greatest risk and response to oral antidiabetic
drugs. ... hiện toàn bộ
Antibacterial effects and action modes of asiatic acidBioMedicine - Tập 5 - Trang 1-8 - 2015
Wen-hu Liu, Te-Chung Liu, Mei-chin Mong
In this study, the antibacterial effects and action modes of asiatic acid
against the foodborne bacterial pathogens Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella
Typhimurium DT104, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes,
Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Bacillus cereus were examined.
Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of asiatic acid against these bacteria
were in the range o... hiện toàn bộ
