I  Screening and diagnosis of diseases
 
1Genetic Test for Disease Susceptibility
 
Service introduction
Disease susceptibility test refers to the tendency of having a certain kind of disease determined by gene. Individuals with high disease susceptibility means that they carry susceptibility genes of a certain kind of disease. By collecting the genetic materials in the cells to have sequencing test or genetic typing test, we can detect the pathogenic genes or susceptibility genes to evaluate the risk of having this kind of disease.
 
Target user:
Healthy people and sub-healthy people with the demand of disease susceptibility test
 
Test package:
1 Detection of oncogene disease: including 26 cancers, such as, lung cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, prostrate cancer.
2 Whole genome sequencing test: including 43 chronic diseases, such as atherosis, diabetes type II, 26 cancers, such as lung cancer, gastric cancer. 
 
Circulating Tumor Cell Detection Service
 
Service introduction
CTC refers to the cells that have shed into the vasculature or lymphatics from a primary tumor and are carried around the body in the blood circulation.
 
The Clinical significance of CTC detection is mainly reflected in the early diagnosis. It can provide more accurate and early diagnosis than PET, MRI,ctDNA can provide. Besides, CTC detection is good for making the prognostic judgement and can offer guidance for therapeutic schemes by making prognostic judgement and estimating the survival time according to the number of the CTCs before and after the treatment. It can also apply to the detections of tumor recurrence and drug resistance, effectiveness evaluations of chemotherapy drugs. Through in vitro 3D organoid cultures, tumor organoid models can be established to conduct anti-tumor drug sensitivity screenings and provide consultations for personalized medicine, 
 
Target user:
1 Healthy people with the demand of screening 
2 Cancer patients, patients with lung cancer, colorectal cancer, rectal cancer or breast cancer
 
II Guidance for Tumor Treatment 
 
1Whole Exome Sequencing
Service Introduction
Whole exome sequencing is based on the second-generation gene sequencing technology which can detect 27000 human encoding genes. For the purpose of predicting the clinical effect of targeted anti-tumor drugs, we can screen the targeted drugs tailored to cancer patients’ genotype in a more effective, comprehensive approach and assist the doctor to choose the treatment with maximum curative effect and minimum side effect by conducting bioinformatic analysis and explanation, combing the clinical information of patients and the best existing clinical evidence.  
 
Target users
Cancer patients with the demand of finding the effective targeted drugs for gastric cancer, colorectal cancer,pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Whole exome sequencing  Bioinformatics analysis  Medical history, Pathology results   Clinical evidence of drugs   Best treatment option
 
 
Personalized Circulating tumor DNA
 
Service Introduction
 
ctDNA is tumor-derived fragmented DNA in the bloodstream that is not associated with cells. ctDNA may reflect the entire tumor genome. By performing the expansions and detections of CtDNA and combining with the whole exome sequencing results, we can screen a group of gene mutations highly associated with tumor from a large number of DNAS and integrate them with drug susceptibility and mutation of drug-resistance gene to provide the patients with the monitoring for mutation of drug-resistance gene and the monitoring for tumor activity.
  
Targeted user:
Cancer patients who have already taken the whole exome sequencing and are with the demand of monitoring the recurrence or metastasis of tumor and mutation of drug-resistance gene

3Drug sensitivity test based on the patient-derived tumor organoids technology 
 
Service introduction 
Among all the anti-tumor drugs, up to 40% are non-targeted chemotherapeutics drugs, of which the effective rate is just 30%. So far, there is no effective drug sensitivity test for the individual therapy that aims at non-targeted drugs. Even for the targeted drugs, the gene sequencing test can’t predict the susceptibilities accurately.  
 
The data in the chart is obtained from the medical documents in the Pudmed database, which represents personal views for reference only.
 
A tumor organoid is the microtumor model cultured in vitro using the isolated tumor cells from tumor tissues or tumor cells in the blood circulation. The tumor organoids deriving from the patients’ tumors can reflect the real situations of the tumors, which is the most direct and effective method for testing drug sensitivity (sensitivity is 100%, specificity is 93%). Drug sensitivity test based on the tumor organoids technology can apply to both the targeted and non-targeted anti-tumor drugs which compensates the deficiency that the gene sequencing test only predict the drug sensitivity of targeted drugs.
 
Drug sensitivity test based on the tumor organoid technology 
 
Most of the patients aren’t fit for surgeries or biopsies, so the tumor specimens can’t be collected. It is difficult to analyze the features of the tumors to provide appropriate clinical treatments. The drug sensitivity test provided by Five Elements is not only for surgical patients but also for the non-surgical patients. For surgical patients, using the tumor tissues from surgeries to implement digestions to obtain tumor cells with which to conduct 3D cultures and expansions in vitro to establish a microtumor model. For non-surgical patients or patients, collect 5-10ml blood sample from vein, then isolate the tumor cells from blood so as to conduct 3D cultures and expansions in vitro to establish a microtumor model.
Service procedure
 
Patients-----blood sample or tumor tissues -------organoid culture--------- orgnoid expansion--------  anti-tumor drug susceptibility -------- precise antitumor treatment plan   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Target user:
This test applies to the cancer patients with the demand of drug sensitivity screening.
 
III Personalized healthcare management services
 
1Telomere test
Service Introduction:
Telomeres are the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes. Our cells replenish by copying themselves. This happens constantly throughout our lives. Telomeres get shorter each time a cell copies itself. Eventually, telomeres get too short to do their job, causing our cells to age and stop functioning properly. Therefore, telomeres act as the aging clock in every cell.
 
 
 
 
 
In 2009, the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to three American scientists who discovered how an enzyme called telomerase impacts telomere length, which uncovers the mystery of aging and cancers or age-related diseases.
 
Through measuring the average length and lengths distribution of the telomeres in chromosomes, we can measure the senescence of body. Having constant monitoring of the telomeres lengths, observations of the shortening speed of their average length, investigations of the percentage of short telomeres can reflect the aging speed of body. Telomere is a vital biomarker for evaluating health conditions.      
 
Telomeres length and other telomere associated variables are known to be promising biomarkers in diagnostics and prognosis of cancers like protastic cancer, lung cancer.
 
Target users:
1 Healthy people above the age of 18  
2 People above the age of 35 and in the sub-health condition
 
 
 
2Fast Mimicking Diet
 
Service introduction:
What is the purpose of measuring the telomere length and knowing the conditions of senescence? Is there any method of improvement? 
Relieving pressure, healthy diet management, moderate exercise and scientific health management can reduce the speed of telomere shortening, even extend the lengths of the telomeres to some extent, thus, delaying the senescence and reducing the risk of having chronic diseases.
 
According to the reports in the international journals like Cell, Nature, Science, fast mimicking diet can prolong the lifespan of animals, prevent the chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and cognition impairment. BBC, a famous production company in Britain, used to make a documentary named Eating, fasting, live longer, in which they interviewed many nutritionist worldwide to explore the relationship between the fast mimicking diet and health, and report the fact that the fast mimicking diet can improve the health indexes.
Among all the healthy life styles, fast mimicking diet is highly praised by celebrities and socialites. Through controlling the intake of calories periodically, fast mimicking diet can regulate metabolism and improve health conditions. 
 
Five Elements introduced the technology of telomere length monitoring to instruct the fast mimicking diet scientifically through observing the changes of telomeres. This diet intervention management model that combines with monitoring the changes of telomeres will enhance the intervention objects’ motivation and compliance significantly, which will help to delay the senescence, improve the health condition, and realize the purpose of chronic diseases prevention.
 
 
Fast Mimicking Diet Plan:
1 5:2 Diet plan, choose two days from a week to carry out fast mimicking diet and caloric intake restriction. Individuals are allowed to eat freely in the rest days of the week. 
2 5-day diet plan, choose 5 days from a month to carry out fast mimicking diet and caloric intake restriction. Individuals are allowed to eat freely in the rest days of the month. 
 
Target users:
1 Healthy people above the age of 18  
2 People above the age of 35 and in the sub-health condition
