Clonorchis sinensis , an important fish‐borne zoonotic trematode, is widely distributed in South‐East Asia, especially in China. Infections from human and animal reservoir hosts occur due to the consumption of raw or undercooked fish with C. sinensis metacercariae. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of C. sinensis metacercariae in fish in South‐East Asia via systematic review and meta‐analysis. We searched PubMed, Sci...

Electroacupuncture (EA) can improve myocardial ischemia (MI) injury; nevertheless, the mechanism is not entirely clear. And there were disagreements about whether the effect of EA at acupoint in disease-affected meridian is better than EA at acupoint in non-affected meridian and sham acupoint. Here, we showed that the effect of EA at Neiguan (PC6) is better than EA at Hegu (LI4) and sham acupoint in affecting RPP and ECG, incr...

This study investigated the flavonoid compounds in Actinidia chinensis and Actinidia arguta fruits. A total of 125 flavonoids, including 9 anthocyanins, 12 catechins, 17 flavanones, 48 flavones (including 14 flavone C-glycosides), 29 flavonols, 6 isoflavones, and 4 proanthocyanidins, were identified in “Hongyang” kiwifruit (red flesh), “Jintao” kiwifruit, “Mini Amethyst” kiwiberry (purple flesh), and “Kuilv” kiwiberry.

Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a crucial medical issue worldwide. The dependence of HBV replication on host cell machineries and their co-evolutionary interactions prompt the codon usage pattern of viral genes to translation selection and mutation pressure. Objective The evolutionary characteristics of HBV and the natural selection effects of the human genome on the codon usage characteristics were analyzed to...
