How To Avoid China ’ s Medicine Monopoly
I want to share a shocking statistic with you… Around 80% of all the pharmaceuticals sold in America — both prescription and over-the-counter — are manufactured in China. I’m talking about drugs for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, blood pressure and blood thinners, diuretics, aspirin, antibiotics, and a big chunk of the world’s insulin and diabetes drugs — just to name a few.1 We don’t even make penicillin anymore. The last penicillin plant in the U.S. closed its doors in 2004. Americans who rely on medicine are now almost entirely at the mercy of a country whose relations with the U.S. have become more ...

Comments to USTR Show the Real ‐​World Harms of the Trump‐​Biden China Tariffs
Clark Packard and Alfredo Carrillo ObregonIn recent weeks, about 1,500 comments were filed with the United States Trade Representative (USTR) concerning the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration —and maintained by the Biden administration—on imports from China as a result of the recent trade war. The majority of the comments paint a bleak picture: the tariffs have—contrary to unsupported assertions you may have read elsewhere—caused very real pain for domestic firms, their workers, and the U.S. economy. These facts, coupled with the fact that the tariffs have not forced Beijing to change its troublesome econo...

Moxibustion as adjuvant therapy for preventing bone loss in postmenopausal women: protocol for a randomised controlled trial
This study aims to explore the clinical effects and safety of moxibustion in delaying bone loss in postmenopausal women. Methods and analysis In this parallel-design, randomised, patient-blind and assessor-blind, controlled clinical study, 150 women with osteopenia at low fracture risk will be randomly assigned to a moxibustion treatment (MT) group or a placebo-moxibustion control (PMC) group in a 1:1 ratio. In addition to the fundamental measures (vitamin D3 and calcium) as recommended by the guidelines, participants of the two groups will receive MT or PMC treatment for 42 sessions over 12 months. The primary outcome wi...

HELLP syndrome manifesting as abnormal fetal umbilical artery blood flow and rapidly worsening laboratory indexes: A case report
Rationale: HELLP syndrome, a rare but serious obstetric complication, is often overdiagnosed due to its nonspecific symptoms and inappropriate clinical testing. Patient concerns: A 30-year-old nulliparous pregnant Chinese woman at gestational age of 28+1 weeks was admitted to our hospital because Doppler ultrasonography at a local hospital had detected loss of fetal umbilical artery end-diastolic blood flow lasting 12 hours. On admission to our hospital, the patient showed elevated blood pressure (148/84 mm Hg), but blood pressure and laboratory indicators after admission were normal. However, the patient deve...

Primary hyperparathyroidism presenting as a brown tumor with hypercalcemia crisis in a second-trimester pregnant woman: A case report
Conclusion: Maternal PHPT is rare and challenging to diagnose, causing life-threatening complications to mother and fetus. Any decision regarding surgery for a pregnant woman with primary hyperparathyroidism is more complex than in men or nonpregnant women. The decision should be made based on the severity of hypercalcemia and symptoms.

Effects of Sweet Cherry Polyphenols on Enhanced Osteoclastogenesis Associated With Childhood Obesity
Conclusions Our study, to our knowledge, is the first demonstrating in obese children a spontaneous osteoclastogenesis inhibited by polyphenols from sweet cherry extracts, through the reduction of TNFα, without affecting cell viability. We also demonstrated that the spontaneous osteoclastogenesis observed in PBMCs from obese children is supported by the high percentage of circulating CD14+/CD16+ cells and the elevated levels of RANKL and TNFα. Our study opens future perspectives for the use of cherry extracts, appropriately formulated as nutraceuticals as preventive in healthy children and therapeu...

Orally Administered Crocin Protects Against Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Through the Metabolic Transformation of Crocetin by Gut Microbiota
Conclusion Collectively, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic association studies provide evidence that the gut microbiota plays a vital role in the fate of crocin and crocetin in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the cross-interaction between gut microbiota and crocin might mediate the activation of the cerebral-protective effect of orally administered crocin. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of ‘Institutional Animal Research Committee guidelines, Animal Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University.’ The protocol was approved by the ‘An...

8 Foods that Boost Your Mood
What we eat might not be able to cure us indefinitely from depression. I learned that hard lesson earlier this year. However, researchers are compiling strong evidence that what we eat can influence our risk for developing depression and can keep persons in remission from possibly relapsing. Eating better foods has certainly helped my mood and allowed me to get by on less medication. A 2014 review published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined the link between diet and depression risk and found that a diet consisting mainly of fruit, vegetables, fish, and whole grains was significantly associated with a r...
