The total value that China Sky One Medical has donated to the communities since its founding is in excess of RMB 5 million, for causes ranging from disaster relief for the flood in 1998 to donations for the construction of schools, to donations to alleviate poverty and care for the elderly.
“We feel a strong sense of responsibility and believe all Chinese people should form a united front to combat the pain and suffering following this natural disaster. Going forward, we will not only donate medicine to help the victims in the regions affected by the earthquake, but we will also send healthcare professionals to the regions that were hit the hardest by earthquake and leverage our new biotechnology test kits to perform early diagnosis on victims,” concluded Mr. Liu.

Personalized Medicine: A Challenging Revolution in Healthcare

May 30th, 2008 by admin

WASHINGTON, May 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Personalized medicine, which uses genetic information to tailor treatments to specific individuals, is a revolutionary healthcare option, filled with potential but also containing serious challenges for average patients, writes Beryl Lieff Benderly, in an Insighter piece posted on , the website of the Food and Drug Law Institute (FDLI).
In the Insighter piece, Personalized Medicine: A Challenging Revolution in Healthcare, Nina Scribanu, MD, associate professor of pediatrics and director of the division of genetics at the Georgetown University Medical Center, tells FDLI that much work remains in the development of personalized medicine before patients can receive the full benefits of its potential.
However, the article asserts, genomic medicine is clearly rocketing forward. “This is our chance to transform medicine from ‘one-size- fits-all’ to a potentially personalized approach,” said Francis Collins, MD, PhD, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, in testimony before Congress. “Already, healthcare providers can test whether some of us carry DNA variants that predispose us to certain diseases, and new research efforts could help to expand this capability and possibly offer better opportunities for preventive measures. If illness does occur, doctors will have more powerful tools to identify the molecular causes, and to prescribe medicines based on individualized genetic information.”
Genetic information already is helping doctors to individualize some treatments. One genetic test, for example, can determine which patients with hepatitis C need drug therapy for 48 weeks as opposed to the conventional 24 weeks. Another can distinguish women with breast cancer who are likely to relapse and therefore would benefit from chemotherapy from those unlikely to relapse, who do not need these expensive and toxic drugs. Other tests differentiate breast cancer patients likely to benefit from the drug herceptin from those likely to suffer adverse side effects. Yet other tests can help doctors prescribe appropriate dosages of powerful drugs by identifying individuals who metabolize them quickly, at an average rate, or not at all.
But Scribanu maintains that “there is insufficient support for young people to go into clinical practice” of genetic medicine. “Much of the talent is going to private companies” that develop and market tests rather than into clinical care that uses this knowledge with individual patients, she explains. “This is a field that needs support,” Scribanu concludes.
FDLI and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) are sponsoring a national conference, Personalized Medicine: Promises and Challenges, June 20, 2008, at AAAS Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The meeting will include a high-level roundtable discussion in the morning and a seminar on legal, regulatory and policy issues on personalized medicine in the afternoon.
For more information on the personalized medicine conference, visit or contact Michael Levin-Epstein, Editor-in-Chief, (202) 222-0897 or .

mtvU & Kaiser Family Foundation Launch POSorNOT.com to Challenge Stigma, Fight Spread of HIV/AIDS

May 30th, 2008 by admin

NEW YORK, April 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — mtvU, MTV’s Peabody and Emmy Award-winning college network, and the Kaiser Family Foundation, in partnership with POZ Magazine, today unveiled “Pos or Not” ( an online game that challenges stereotypes and breaks down the barriers that may prevent people from talking openly about HIV/AIDS, getting tested, and using protection.
People from across the U.S. - half of whom are living with HIV and half who are not - share parts of their lives for “Pos or Not” by divulging their HIV status to help dispel myths and misconceptions about HIV and AIDS. Players confront their own HIV stereotypes as they guess whether a profiled participant is positive or negative based only on a photo and a few personal details, such as what they do on the weekends or their favorite kind of music.
Among the participants who are positive, we’re provided a window on the circumstances in which they learn their HIV status - including after the birth of a child, calls from ex-lovers, and long-postponed HIV tests. HIV negative participants share how the disease has touched their lives, claiming boyfriends, girlfriends, mothers and best friends. Every individual stresses that HIV affects everyone and that the only way to truly know your own or some else’s HIV status is by getting tested.
While “Pos or Not” confronts stereotypes and popular misconceptions about HIV/AIDS, it also provides users with information about HIV prevention, as well as local HIV and STD testing resources from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). In addition, players are invited to join the game to help underscore that there’s no way to tell a person’s HIV status from how they look or what they do.
Several of the most requested acts on college campuses and major pop culture figures are also lending their efforts to help stoke the online viral spread of “Pos or Not,” including Wyclef Jean, Fall Out Boy, Will.i.am, Alyssa Milano, Say Anything, Perez Hilton, Angels & Airwaves, Atmosphere, The Spill Canvas, 30 Seconds to Mars, Aesop Rock, Motion City Soundtrack, All Time Low and Rise Against. Beginning today, these and many others are sending the game to their fans, families and friends, via a feature that allows users to share “Pos or Not” with everybody in their e-mail address books with only a couple clicks.
“‘Pos or Not’ is an urgent analogue to HotorNot.com, designed to capture college students’ attention and harness the viral nature of the Web in the ongoing fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS,’” said Stephen Friedman, GM, mtvU. “‘Pos or Not’ was created to shatter myths, challenge assumptions and promote responsible sexual behavior - and we salute every participant, as well as the team of college students who conceived the game, for breathing life into it.”
“‘Pos or Not’ confronts the stigma and stereotypes that fuel the continued spread of this disease some 25 years since the first diagnosis,” said Tina Hoff, vice president and director of Entertainment Media Partnerships at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “‘Pos or Not’ has the powerful effect of allowing young people across the country to learn more about those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and in doing so hopefully form a more personal understanding of the disease.”
“The HIV-positive community has the unique ability to debunk myths and dissolve dangerous stereotypes around HIV/AIDS,” said Regan Hofmann, editor-in-chief of POZ magazine. “Having a face-to-face encounter with a person living with the virus can also positively affect the choices people make regarding behaviors that can lead to their contracting HIV. I think that ‘Pos or Not’ is a wonderful way to allow the HIV community to serve as an awareness and prevention tool for those who are - but who do not believe themselves to be - at risk.”
“Pos or Not” was inspired by the winners of the “Change the Course of HIV Challenge,” a nationwide competition that asked college students to propose a viral, Web-based game that would creatively engage people to help combat the spread of HIV/AIDS. The winning concept was submitted by a team from the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy and included designers Brendan McLeod and Matthew Laurence, programmers Chris Camilleri and Gabriel Montagne, and artist Chip Lundell.
College students helped conceive “Pos or Not” and are pioneering the future of digital activism every day, so mtvU, the Kaiser Family Foundation and POZ Magazine are calling on users to imagine ways the game can be even more viral and impactful. Anyone with a vision for how “Pos or Not” can be effectively executed on other platforms (mobile, social networks, etc.), remixed, or in any way serve as an even more powerful call to action on the HIV/AIDS epidemic are encouraged to send ideas to . mtvU and the Kaiser Family Foundation are committing to incorporate the best concepts into future versions of the game - or a completely re-imagined iteration - so it continues to evolve and reach more people.
“Pos or Not” follows on the success of “Darfur is Dying” (), mtvU’s student-developed videogame - now played more than 3 million times by over 1.5 million people - designed to spread awareness of and spur action to end the genocide in Darfur. “Darfur is Dying” is a narrative-based simulation where the user, from the perspective of a displaced Darfurian, negotiates forces that threaten the survival of his or her refugee camp. The game is a key element of mtvU’s nearly four-year, student-led, Emmy Award-winning Sudan campaign.
Representatives from mtvU and the Kaiser Family Foundation will be presenting “Pos or Not” at the fourth annual Games for health Conference, taking place May 8 - 9 in Baltimore, Maryland. To learn more about the conference, please visit .

Go Healthy Initiates Additional Clinical Tests on Cholesterade

May 29th, 2008 by admin

HOUSTON, May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Go Healthy (Pink Sheets: GOHE) announces the initiation of further clinical trials with Cholesterade (R) in three medical settings with an expected patient clinical group of 200 patients in 6 centers around the country. Dr. William Bryan of the Sports medicine Institute at The Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center will coordinate one clinical trial. Dr. Bryan was formerly the Team Physician for the Houston Astros and the former Medical Director of Major League Baseball.
Dr. David Braunreiter of Memorial Hermann Hospital, the Team Physician for the Houston Dynamo and the NFL’s Houston Texans will coordinate a center in Southwest Houston. Dr. Jason Pirozzolo of the Sports medicine Institute at the Florida Hospital in Orlando will coordinate a third center, pending IRB approval. Pirozzolo recently completed Sports medicine fellowships at the Ohio State University and Duke University.
Future centers will be coordinated by CO-PIs, Dr. Hal Goforth, widely acclaimed researcher on muscle glycogen metabolism from Point Loma Nazarene University and the Naval Research Center, and Dr. Fran Pirozzolo, Chairman of the Medical and Scientific Advisory Board of Go Healthy. Dr. Fran Pirozzolo was formerly the Chief of the Neuropsychology Service in the Department of Neurology at the Baylor College of Medicine. He was a Member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Techniques to Enhance Human Performance and has served on a number of NIH and NIMH advisory committees.
The study will be a double-blind crossover study of the efficacy of Cholesterade(R) in lowering cholesterol (total cholesterol and LDL) and triglycerides while increasing HDL and HDLC/LDLC ratio. The study will also employ a modified Experience Sampling Technique to measure the vitality of subjects throughout the day.
Charlie Caudle, CEO of Go Healthy, states that “We are very excited to be moving forward on studies that will expand on Dr. Cade’s work and which we believe will conclusively demonstrate that Cholesterade(R) will bring a dramatic, meaningful contribution to the improvement of health in the cholesterol and other areas, including obesity and diabetes. This delicious drink will now allow the medical community to provide a compliance vehicle to meet NIH guidelines for 10-25 grams of dietary soluble fiber during a 12 week period of Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes prior to consideration of statin intervention. Subsequent studies we are planning will delve into those other areas and demonstrate the vital importance of dietary soluble fiber in general wellness.”
