Protein arginine methyltransferases ( PRMTs) play crucial roles in the methylation of a series pro-tein substrates.PRMT5 is a type Ⅱ methyltransferase that symmetrically methylates arginine residues of histone and non-histone substrates, thereby regulating a variety of cellular processes through epigenetic control of target gene expression or post-translational modification of signaling molecules.Recently, accumulated evidence has suggested that PRMT5 may function as an oncogene.This review is aimed to summarize the oncogenic role of PRMT5 and its regulatory mechanisms in tumors.

[Objective]To investigate the efficacy of total hip arthroplasty(THA)on the treatment of traumatic arthritis that caused by internal fixation failures of intertrochanteric fractures.[Methods]During January 2009 and March 2016,35 cases of trau?matic arthritis(male:18 cases;female17 cases;49 ~ 86 years old,with an average age of 68.5 years)caused by internal fixation failures or malunion of intertrochanteric fractures,were undergo THA. Among 35 cases,13 cases were performed with the proximal femoral fixation stems,10 cases were with distal fixation stems,and 12 cases were with extended stems.[Results]With 3~65 months follow-up,the hip joint HSS score was elevated from 44.1(31 ~ 65)preoperative to 82.5(58 ~ 94)postoperative without obvious loosening. No postoperative deep infectionwas found. The femoral stems in 2 cases were found to sink 5 mm and 10 mm,respectively. No obvious prosthesis loosening was found. Taken together ,the satisfaction rate of THA on the joint function of traumatic arthritis was 91.4%.[Conclusion]Total hip arthroplasty is recommended as an effective approach for treating traumatic arthritis caused by internal fixation failures of intertrochanteric fractures. Distal fixed prosthesis was recommended due to bone sclerosis or defects of proximal femur. Coupled with emphasis on reconstruction of the greater trochanter ,good therapeutic effects could be achieved.

Yang-palm, through early systematic Zhan-zhuang training to raise qi, pats the affected area to extract pathological product outer surface using the distal of 2-5 fingers in palm dorsal. This therapy emphasizes infusing qi and extract silt. The treatment continues when pathological product scatters and disappears, so the short-term and long-term efficacy is significant, and especially suitable for the treatment of TCM arthralgia. This article introduced the clinical therapy in treating two rheumatism patients by Yang-palm, explained process and study method of Yang-palm therapy, and shared treatment experience and explored the basic principles of treatment, with a purpose to provide a new treatment for rheumatism.

To promote the development of extracellular vesicles of herbal medicine especially the establishment of standardization, led by the National Expert Committee on Research and Application of Chinese Herbal Vesicles, research experts in the field of herbal medicine and extracellular vesicles were invited nationwide with the support of the Expert Committee on Research and Application of Chinese Herbal Vesicles, Professional Committee on Extracellular Vesicle Research and Application, Chinese Society of Research Hospitals and the Guangdong Engineering Research Center of Chinese Herbal Vesicles. Based on the collation of relevant literature, we have adopted the Delphi method, the consensus meeting method combined with the nominal group method to form a discussion draft of "Consensus statement on research and application of Chinese herbal medicine derived extracellular vesicles-like particles (2023)". The first draft was discussed in online and offline meetings on October 12, 14, November 2, 2022 and April and May 2023 on the current status of research, nomenclature, isolation methods, quality standards and research applications of extracellular vesicles of Chinese herbal medicines, and 13 consensus opinions were finally formed. At the Third Academic Conference on Research and Application of Chinese Herbal Vesicles, held on May 26, 2023, Kewei Zhao, convenor of the consensus, presented and read the consensus to the experts of the Expert Committee on Research and Application of Chinese Herbal Vesicles. The consensus highlights the characteristics and advantages of Chinese medicine, inherits the essence, and keeps the righteousness and innovation, aiming to provide a reference for colleagues engaged in research and application of Chinese herbal vesicles at home and abroad, decode the mystery behind Chinese herbal vesicles together, establish a safe, effective and controllable accurate Chinese herbal vesicle prevention and treatment system, and build a bridge for Chinese medicine to the world.
