Introduction; Osteogenesis imperfecta is according to Western medicine, a disorder of the connective tissue caused by an abnormal synthesis or processing type I collagen of genetic origin, a protein that is important to strengthen bones. The clinical manifestation of this problem can cause blue sclera, short stature, and deafness in adulthood, dentinogenesis imperfecta. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), osteogenesis imperfecta is related to Kidney energy deficiency (second chakra). Purpose: the purpose of this study is to show that patients with osteogenesis imperfecta has energy deficiency in the Kidney energy (second chakra) and the treatment of this condition, replenishing this energy using highly diluted medications is very important to treat the root of the problem and not just treating the symptoms. Methods: through one case report of 30 years-old man with history of several fractures since childhood. He went acupuncture clinic to treat his anxiety symptoms and I saw that his sclera was blue. Treatment was done using Chinese dietary counseling, auricular acupuncture with apex ear bloodletting and systemic acupuncture. Radiesthesia procedure were used to measure his chakras’ energy centers. Results: All his chakras’ were in the lowest level of energy, including the second that was the Kidney, responsible for the bone and teeth. The treatment began replenishing this chakras’ energy centers using highly diluted medications, such as homeopathies, according to the theory created by me (2020) entitled Constitutional Homeopathy of the Five Elements Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and crystal-based medications. Conclusion: through this case reported in this article, I can say that patient with osteogenesis imperfecta has energy deficiency in the five internal massive organ, especially in the Kidney and the treatment of these energy deficiency, is very important to treat patients with osteogenesis imperfecta in the deepest level, in the energy point of view.

SummaryThree American Cream puppies from a litter of six were admitted for evaluation and treatment of lameness caused by multiple pathological fractures. Because of a poor prognosis, all three of the affected dogs were ultimately euthanatized. Based on the histopathological findings of the bones and a collagen analysis from cultured skin fibroblast cells which confirmed the presence of abnormal type I collagen, the presumptive diagnosis was osteogenesis imperfecta. In humans, more than 90% of the cases of osteogenesis imperfecta are caused by defects in type I collagen (11). Osteogenesis imperfecta has rarely been described in animals and none of the previous reports document the disease in more than one dog from a single litter.Three American Cream puppies from a litter of six developed multiple pathologic features without a history of trauma. A diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta was made based on histopathology and results of type I collagen analysis from cultured skin fibroblasts.

Introduction Gastritis is a general term for inflammation of the stomach. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), gastritis is a disharmony between Yin, Yang, Qi, Blood and Heat retention of Liver, Stomach, Spleen or other disharmonies. Purpose To demonstrate that gastritis has energies alterations and chakras’ energies deficiencies as the root of its problem. The correction and replenishment of the chakras’ energies meridians are the most important goals in patient’s recovery. Methods Two case reports. The first, a 34-year-old male patient with complaints of chronic fatigue and epigastric pain, not improving with any medication the doctors prescribed. The second patient was a 32-year-old female who started having pain on the stomach and a burning sensation, as well as strong headache since she was 16-years-old. She was diagnosed with reflux through an endoscopy and treatment was started lansoprazole and pantoprazole and diet for reflux. She performed this treatment for four years, with no success. Both patients did the chakras’ energies meridian measurement through radiesthesia procedure. The result was that six out of seven chakras’ were completely lack of energies rated one (the minimum level) out of eight (the normal level), with the exception of the seventh chakra that was normal. Both patients were treated with Chinese dietary counseling, auricular acupuncture with apex ear bloodletting, systemic acupuncture and replenishment of the chakras’ energies with homeopathic medication according to Constitutional Homeopathy of the Five Elements Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and crystal based medications. Results Both patients recover from all their symptoms very fast, including the epygastric pain discomfort without the necessity of using any antacid and proton-pump inhibitors medications. Conclusion Gastritis has an energy alteration and chakras’ energies deficiencies as a root and the treatment of these energy imbalances and replenishment of this lack of energies is essential for the patient’s improvement in the deepest level, not only treating the symptom.

Introduction: Several studies point out urinary tract infections as a widely common pathology worldwide. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the physiopathology of the disease is Kidney Yin deficiency, Blood deficiency and Heat Retention. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the possibility of treating urinary tract infections without using antibiotics. Methods: The interpretation and analysis of recent articles regarding the treatment of urinary tract infections in Western Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hippocratic Medicine. The description and analysis of two case-reports. The first from a 75-year-old woman and the second from a 45-year-old female patient both with symptoms of dysuria and diagnosed with urinary tract infection, with positive urine culture for bacteria. Results: All patients presented improvement of the symptoms and urine cultures positive for bacteria before the treatment and negative after the treatment only with acupuncture, Chinese dietary counseling and apex ear bloodletting, not requiring antibiotics use in neither of the cases. Both patients presented complete improvement of urinary tract infections with one session of auricular acupuncture with apex ear bloodletting. The result for both cases appeared in a few days. Conclusion: It is possible to treat urinary tract infections without using antibiotics. For this aim, it is important to treat the patient through an integral pathway, focusing the treatment in the energy disturbances, the underlying cause of the symptoms.

Introduction Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic, idiopathic inflammatory disease that affects the colon, most commonly afflicting adults aged 30 years to 40 years, resulting in disability. It is characterized by relapsing and remitting mucosal inflammation, starting in the rectum and extending to proximal segments of the colon. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the invasion of external pathogenic factors causing Damp-Cold and Damp-Heat, inadequate diet and violent emotions are the source of the disease. Purpose The aim of this study is to demonstrate that patients with ulcerative colitis have energies alterations and chakras’ energies deficiencies as underline causes. Methods A case report of a 32 years-old female patient with diagnosis of ulcerative colitis ten years ago (2010) and a very difficult childhood when her mother died before the disease began. The UC symptoms started with a bloated belly and excessive intestinal gas. She has been treated by proctologist doctor and was receiving Sulfasalazine medications but she was willing to have another type of treatment without using so many medications. She searched for traditional Chinese medicine treatment and the doctor did the diagnosis of Yin, Yang, Qi deficiency and Heat retention and was submitted to the radiesthesia procedure to see how her internal organs energy was. The result of this measurement was that all her six chakras were without energy (rated one out of eight) with the exception of the seventh chakra that was normal (rated in eight). The treatment consisted in Chinese dietary counseling, auricular acupuncture with apex ear bloodletting and replenishment the chakras energies using homeopathies according to Constitutional Homeopathy of the Five Elements Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and crystal based medications. Results The patient showed a significant improvement after the treatment performed. Conclusion The conclusion of this study is that patients with ulcerative colitis have energies imbalances and chakras’ energies deficiencies as demonstrated in this case report. The corrections of these energies imbalances is important to treat the root of the problem that are the energies imbalances and chakras´energies deficiencies and not just the symptoms presented by the patient.

Collagen Formation

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disease characterized by bone fragility and repeated fractures. The bone fragility associated with OI is caused by a defect in collagen formation due to mutation of COL1A1 or COL1A2. Current strategies for treating OI are not curative. In this study, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from OI patient-derived blood cells harboring a mutation in the COL1A1 gene. Osteoblast (OB) differentiated from OI-iPSCs showed abnormally decreased levels of type I collagen and osteogenic differentiation ability. Gene correction of the COL1A1 gene using CRISPR/Cas9 recovered the decreased type I collagen expression in OBs differentiated from OI-iPSCs. The osteogenic potential of OI-iPSCs was also recovered by the gene correction. This study suggests a new possibility of treatment and in vitro disease modeling using patient-derived iPSCs and gene editing with CRISPR/Cas9.

Heritable Disorder

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable disorder that mainly affects the skeleton. The inheritance is mostly autosomal dominant and associated to mutations in one of the two genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2, encoding for the type I collagen α chains. According to more than 1500 described mutation sites and to outcome spanning from very mild cases to perinatal-lethality, OI is characterized by a wide genotype/phenotype heterogeneity. In order to identify common affected molecular-pathways and disease biomarkers in OI probands with different mutations and lethal or surviving phenotypes, primary fibroblasts from dominant OI patients, carrying COL1A1 or COL1A2 defects, were investigated by applying a Tandem Mass Tag labeling-Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (TMT LC-MS/MS) proteomics approach and bioinformatic tools for comparative protein-abundance profiling. While no difference in α1 or α2 abundance was detected among lethal (type II) and not-lethal (type III) OI patients, 17 proteins, with key effects on matrix structure and organization, cell signaling, and cell and tissue development and differentiation, were significantly different between type II and type III OI patients. Among them, some non–collagenous extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins (e.g., decorin and fibrillin-1) and proteins modulating cytoskeleton (e.g., nestin and palladin) directly correlate to the severity of the disease. Their defective presence may define proband-failure in balancing aberrances related to mutant collagen.

Objective To identify potentially effective bacterial components of gold juice, a traditional Chinese medicine treatment used for fecal microbiota transplantation. Methods Fecal samples were collected from five healthy children (two boys and three girls; mean age, 7.52 ± 2.31 years). The children had no history of antibiotic use or intestinal microecological preparation in the preceding 3 months. Fresh fecal samples were collected from children to prepare gold juice in mid-to-late November, in accordance with traditional Chinese medicine methods, then used within 7 days. Finally, 16S rDNA sequence analysis was used to identify potentially effective bacterial components of gold juice. QIIME software was used for comparisons of microbial species among gold juice, diluent, filtrate, and loess samples. Results Microflora of gold juice exhibited considerable changes following “ancient method” processing. Microbial components significantly differed between gold juice and filtrate samples. The gold juice analyzed in our study consisted of microbes that synthesize carbohydrates and amino acids by degrading substances, whereas the filtrate contained probiotic flora, Bacteroides, and Prevotella 9. Conclusions This study of microbial components in gold juice and filtrate provided evidence regarding effective bacterial components in gold juice, which may aid in clinical decisions concerning fecal microbiota transplantation.
