Researchers have found that brown adipose tissue (BAT) has an impact on the treatment of obese patients. The review introduces basic knowledge related to BAT characteristics, cold exposure to activate BAT, and the activation pathway of BAT, including the UCP1-dependent signaling pathway and the UCP1-independent signaling pathway, in order to investigate the novel technology on treating obesity by focusing on BAT. Moreover, the review summarizes the novel therapies to combat obesity through BAT. The therapies incorporate BAT transplantation, transformation of white adipose tissue, and artificial means to activate BAT by either using pharmaceutical ways or controlling the expression of genes. Through the multiple ways to increase the BAT mass in the human body, the results show that obesity can be partially alleviated. However, future studies still need to reveal the integrated mechanism of treating obesity with changing BAT mass.","PeriodicalId":432989,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Modern Medicine and Global Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134159917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper conducts a comparative analysis based on the data collected from WHO coronavirus database, NCHS of CDC, and articles on National Center for Biotechnology Center to review and summarise China's anti-epidemic measures during SARS and COVID-19. The significance of comparing the responses to the two outbreaks is to study the development of epidemiology in China over the past ten years and the establishment and improvement of the response mechanism to major public health events. Through a review of a large number of literature, it can be seen that the emergence of SARS exposed the weaknesses of China's public health system, but it was also an opportunity for the development of a health crisis management system. After only more than ten years of system improvement, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, China has stepped up to a new level in terms of response speed, decisiveness in decision-making, and intensity of policy implementation.","PeriodicalId":432989,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Modern Medicine and Global Health","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134297200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Activities taking place in different areas of the human brain including the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobe give rise to learning, memory encoding, processing and retrieval. Publicly available databases, including PubMed and Scopus were searched for relevant articles using relevant keywords, such as memory, memory defects, learning. Learning is the process of acquiring information through experience and memory is related to the reservation and storing of memory in to one’s brain. The two major categories of learning are associative and non-associative learning. Memory consists of 3 parts, sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory. All these takes parts in the learning cycle with the process of gathering, reflection, creating and testing. Memory retrieval can be affected by various factors such as time and memory type. Also, problems in retrieval can be caused by diseases such as dementia. Some of the diseases can be cured while others still lack an effective radical cure. This review provides a classification about learning and memory together with its mechanisms and related disorders. While our knowledge of memory encoding, processing and retrieval has been expanded significantly over the past few decades, more research is required to understand the mechanism of memory formation to find treatment for diseases associated with learning and memory.","PeriodicalId":432989,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Modern Medicine and Global Health","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122354924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So far, three cancer vaccines have been approved by the FDA, but none of them is used to treat breast cancer. Scientific research focusing on the development of breast cancer vaccines had been an ongoing topic and several potential vaccine therapies have emerged. Globo-H is a suitable candidate for metastatic and triple negative breast cancer, which requires carrier protein or adjuvants conjugation induce antibody response against identified cancer antigen. Suitable adjuvant such as lipid-based carrier monophosphorylate lipid A (MPLA) is required for proper level of immune stimulation. Another large category of breast cancer vaccine is related to a commonly expressed receptor of the cancer cell’s surface: HER2/neu. E75 and GP2 directly target HERs and induce immune response for HLA A2/A3+ patients. AE37, on the other hands, is more potent for treating triple negative patients with low level of HER2 expression on cancer cells. AE37’s ability to induce T-cell immune response is related to structural conformation of MHC class II epitope driven by the linkage of li-Key-peptide, and it does not rely on high level of HER2 expression to induce T-cell mediated immune response. Overall, AE37 seems to be the most potential candidate for cancer vaccine, but its effectiveness does require further clinical trials to be proven.","PeriodicalId":432989,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Modern Medicine and Global Health","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124735365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By examining the limitations of current antidepressant treatments and highlighting the need for alternative approaches, it is necessary to explore the working mechanisms of psychedelic substances, including interaction with various receptors and neural networks in the brain and their potential role in promoting neuroplasticity, which may facilitate a reset of maladaptive neural pathways and promote new patterns of neural connectivity, potentially leading to improved mental health outcomes. Recent research on psychoplastogens, non-hallucinogenic analogs of psychedelic substances, may offer a promising alternative to traditional psychedelic therapies, including the reduced potential for adverse effects while promoting neuroplasticity, potentially improving mental health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":432989,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Modern Medicine and Global Health","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123646972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a serious obstacle to treating cancer is cancer drug resistance. At least five mechanisms, including tumor microenvironment, tumor heterogeneity, decreased drug uptake, drug efflux and DNA repair alteration, are involved in the acquirement of anti-cancer drug resistance. On the other hand, new approaches have been developed and designed to target anti-cancer drug resistance.
