The Relationship

: Mitophagy plays an important role in maintaining mitochondrial quality and cell homeostasis through the degradation of damaged, aged, and dysfunctional mitochondria and misfolded proteins. Many human diseases, particularly neurodegenerative diseases, are related to disorders of mitochondrial phagocytosis. Exploring the regulatory mechanisms of mitophagy is of great significance for revealing the molecular mechanisms underlying the related diseases. Herein, we summarize the major mechanisms of mitophagy, the relationship of mitophagy with human diseases, and the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in mitophagy. These discussions enhance our knowledge of mitophagy and its potential therapeutic targets using TCM.

Cough is a common clinical symptom, throughout history the medical experts have different discussions on the diagnosis and treatment of cough and put forward different theories on the treatment of cough. Chief physician Zhang Hongxing is a famous old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in Dezhou city with rich experience in clinical practice and unique academic thoughts. In the treatment of exogenous cough, Director Zhang stressed that the differentiation of syndromes should be focused on ‘wind’ and pay attention to the role of liver ‘wind’ in cough. The prescription of medicines should emphasize on dispelling the ‘wind’ first, to dispel the external ‘wind’, but also to calm the internal ‘wind’, and making good use of Uncaria in medicine. Valuable experience for clinical diagnosis and treatment of exogenous cough was provided.
