“…Our study data [154] adds further scientific evidence of how ill-health from one system can impact other supposedly unrelated and distant areas of 'symptoms and disease'. MPS scar release therapy impacts on distant locations of pain; this challenges the traditionally held concepts of diseases and its pathophysiology and leads to the treatment of symptoms only.…”

“…We have shown markedly positive results in a cohort study [154]. In this study, analysis of treatment outcomes pre, post and 48-hour follow-up after Micro-current Point Stimulation (MPS) was applied to C-section scars on 47 patients with a history of non-specific pains.…”

“…There was also a marked improvement in long standing symptoms of joint and back pain (distant from the c-section scar) in a woman with a C-section scar similarly treated (Figure 2). [154]. This is an FDA-approved device which apply low frequency, concentrated, microcurrent stimulation for the relief of chronic pain and stress.…”

This review clearly demonstrates the dramatic impact of a C-section on the morbidity for both mother (pyhsical and emotional) and child (especially related to adverse microbiom development in the growing infant). In addition millions of women who suffer symptoms both locally around the surgical site and more importantly distant effects related to sympathetic up-regulation, mainly through fascial/ fibrotic nerve stimulation. Our experience of the application of Micro Point Stimulation Scar Release therapy to C- section scars resulted in markedly improved pain in these patients who had long-standing symptoms The preliminary but impressive ultrasound findings showing the dramatic reduction in the fibrous/fascial mass after just one session of Micro Point Stimulation Scar therapy of 35 secs adds credence to the efficacy of this procedure in relieving pain symptoms from a simple inexpensive method of treatment. Micro Point Stimulation scar release therapy impacts on distant locations of pain; this challenges the traditionally held concepts of diseases and its pathophysiology. Abdominal and C-section scars may now be viewed as significant systemic contributors to pain and dysfunction throughout the entire body. The overuse of C-sections cannot be justified and it is imperative that the entire practice be reviewed to stem the rising use of this procedure. Where ever possible a delivery should happen in home friendly environment, which is conducive to good health for mother and child.

“…These patients with keloids are often accompanied by pain, hyperesthesia, and pruritus, and these results will significantly reduce people's life quality [5]. Current treatment ways for keloid, such as surgical excision, various drug treatment, radiotherapy, and physical therapies, still have poor results [6,7]. Recent studies have shown that the formation reasons for keloid may be related to multiple factors, such as abnormal structure and function of genes [8,9].…”

Keloid is an extremely common and often overlooked benign neoplastic disease, but its consequences should not be underestimated. Therefore, a deep exploration of the pathological mechanism of keloid becomes very essential. After 22 samples were collected from each patient's keloid tissues and normal skin tissues, circ_0008450 and Runx3 expression was tested by qRT-PCR. When primary human keratinized epithelial cells were transfected by sh-circ_0008450 or sh-Runx3, cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and EMT process were assessed by CCK-8, BrdU assay, apoptosis assay, migration assay, and Western blot. Finally, transfection was performed to explore the effect of circ_0008450 on the TGF-β/Smad signal pathway by adopting western blot. Circ_0008450 was highly expressed in keratinized epithelial tissues. After the transfection of sh-circ_0008450 into primary human keratinized epithelial cells, cell proliferation, migration, and EMT process were inhibited, and apoptosis was stimulated. Moreover, circ_0008450 silence-induced above changes were partly reversed by transfecting sh-Runx3. In addition, transfecting sh-circ _0008450 could repress TGF-β/Smad pathway, while transfecting sh-Runx3 activated the above pathway. Circ_0008450 down-regulated Runx3 to promote the proliferation and EMT process of human keratinized epithelial cells. This discovery may be related to the activation of the TGF-β/ Smad pathway.
