A discussion on the relationship between the five organs and proteinuria
Diabetic nephropathy is the most common kidney disease in recent years. In the early and middle stages of diabetic nephropathy, proteinuria is the main symptom, and it is speculated that proteinuria is caused by kidney essence deficiency. Proteinuria is widely recognized as an important indicator in the occurrence and development of various kidney diseases, and long-term proteinuria can cause serious harm to the body. Exploring the relationship between the five organs and proteinuria can help explore the mechanism of early proteinuria formation, propose effective predictive indicators, and facilitate timely clinical interventions to delay the occurrence and development of diabetic nephropathy. The etiology and pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy are complex, and single treatment methods often fail to achieve ideal therapeutic effects. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes a holistic approach and individualized treatment, which can be beneficial in combination with modern Western medicine treatments. Research on the correlation between the five organs and proteinuria can further promote the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in research and application, fully leveraging their advantages, and enhancing the efficacy of diabetic nephropathy treatment. The purpose of this article is to further strengthen the understanding of the relationship between the five organs and proteinuria, and provide theoretical basis and reference for the prevention and treatment of related conditions.

Bacteria mediated cancer treatment (BMCT) and quorum sensing system in BMCT
Article thumbnail
Many treatments against cancer already exist. For example, radiation therapy, chemical therapy and immunotherapy, combined the physical surgery, these treatments do make a remarkable effect in inhibiting the growth of the tumor and thus prolonging the patient’s life. However, most of the treatments mentioned above would simultaneously damage normal cells and cause trauma or pain to the patients. In recent years, researchers have turned their attention to the remarkable natural abilities of certain bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, in suppressing malignant cells and solid tumors. Bacteria-mediated cancer treatment (BMCT) has emerged as a promising approach that offers the potential for reduced patient trauma and enhanced precision in targeting cancerous tissues. Furthermore, the integration of quorum sensing systems, initially utilized in the fermentation process holds promise in augmenting the navigational capabilities of bacteria. This advance opens the door to the development of highly location-sensitive bio-agents capable of delivering substantial quantities of specific therapeutic proteins directly to tumor sites. This review aims to comprehensively examine existing BMCT methodologies and explore the quorum sensing pathways that have been identified. Additionally, it contemplates the feasibility of synergizing these two systems to offer a novel perspective on cancer treatment.
