We sincerely welcome Prof. Wen Liu from University of Kansas Medical Center, USA, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Integrative and Complementary Medicine. Currently, he is responsible for teaching in the physical therapy and rehabilitation science doctoral degree programs. He also performs research in the field of rehabilitation and serves on various student and faculty committees. Prof. Liu teaches a class on research in evidence-based physical therapy practice. Research works in Dr. Liu’s laboratory has been focused on (1) neurorehabilitation of people with sensorimotor functional impairment after stroke, spinal cord injury, or sports injury; and (2) application of complementary medicine in people with chronic diseases such as chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, and cancer. In their recent research works, Dr. Liu and his team tested the efficacy of Qigong exercise in managing symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s disease, or cancer. The findings of their clinical efficacy trials indicate that Qigong exercise may benefit those people by releasing their symptoms of pain, fatigue, and sleep dysfunction. They have also examined the changes in inflammatory pathways and observed that the improvements in some symptoms in people with chronic health conditions after Qigong exercise are related to the changes in some inflammatory biomarkers, indicating possible biological mechanisms underlying the benefits of Qigong exercise. Their research works have been supported by NIH, National Science Foundation, American Heart Association, etc. We appreciate Prof. Liu for his participation and support.
