Article Synopsis
  • A standardized framework was developed to outline specific acupoints used in paediatric Tuina therapy, including their locations, manipulations, functions, and indications.
  • The process included compiling a list of acupoints from literature and expert interviews, and refining it through the Delphi method and expert consensus meetings.
  • Ultimately, the study identified 64 key acupoints and created technical guidelines, which were reviewed and finalized for public use.

There is a rapid growth in the volume of data in the cancer field and fine-grained classification is in high demand especially for interdisciplinary and collaborative research. There is thus a need to establish a multi-label classifier with higher resolution to reduce the burden of screening articles for clinical relevance. This research trains a multi-label classifier with scalability for classifying literature on cancer research directly at the publication level.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a small molecule that is released to the urine from bladder urothelial cells and the bladder mucosal band of the human body. In certain cases, ATP can serve as a biomarker in bladder disease. For the practical applicability of luminescent sensors for ATP in urine, it is significant to find a new strategy for making the detection progress simple and available for in-field urine analysis.

Drug resistance is one of the main challenges in cancer treatment. Long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a complex and precise regulatory role in regulating drug resistance of cancer. The common ways of lncRNA regulating drug resistance of cancer involve ATP binding transporter overexpression, abnormal DNA damage response, tumor cell apoptosis, accumulation of epithelial mesenchymal transformation and cancer stem cell formation.

Objective: This study aims to explore the difference between C-methyl-N-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-fluorophenyl)-tropanel (C-CFT) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in the early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) and late-onset Parkinson's disease (LOPD), and to analyze the correlation between C-CFT PET imaging and disease duration, Hoehn & Yahr (H&Y) stage, motor symptoms, and non-motor symptoms in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), so as to explore its application value in assessing the severity of Parkinson's disease.

Materials And Methods: A total of 113 patients with idiopathic PD were included in this study. The patients were divided into EOPD and LOPD groups according to the age of 60 years, of which 58 were early-onset and 55 were late-onset.

Objective: To explore the mechanism by which Qinghua decoction regulates neuroendocrine inflammation in chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (CNP) model rats and provide an experimental basis for clinical treatment.

Methods: The rats were randomly divided into six groups: normal control, model, Qianlie Tongyu capsule, low-dose Qinghua decoction, medium-dose Qinghua decoction, and high-dose Qinghua decoction group with six rats in each group. Rats in each group were sacrificed on the 29th day of treatment, and blood and prostate tissues were collected.

Backgrounds: Kidney stone also known as urolithiasis or nephrolithiasis, is one of the oldest diseases known to medicine, however, the gene expression changes and related kidney injury remains unclear.

Methods: A calculi rat model was developed via ethylene glycol- and ammonium chloride-induction. Integrated proteomic and transcriptomic analysis was performed to characterize the distinct gene expression profiles in the kidney of calculi rat.

Electroplating sludge was a hazardous waste comprised of heavy metals and other Fe/Al/Ca/Si impurities, and produced massively in surface treatment industry. In the past, it was commonly purified via hydrometallurgy, chlorination and reduction calcination routes, but also blended as additive in rotary kiln, to stabilize the heavy metals in geopolymer. Herein, an alternative strategy was developed to treat a real electroplating sludge for recycling magnetic Zn-rich spinel and stabilizing Zn in calcium metasilicate glass via a facile pyrometallurgy route with the blending of emulsion mud and coal ash.

Article Synopsis
  • * A case-crossover design was used to analyze data from 2014-2019, focusing on four pollutants: NO, PM, SO, and O, with findings indicating significant associations between NO levels and outpatient visits while other pollutants showed no correlation.
  • * The results suggest that increased exposure to NO2 may elevate the risk of psychiatric issues requiring outpatient care, while pollutants like PM2.5, SO2, and O3 do not appear to impact mental health in this population.

Fe/S-bearing erdite flocculant has been proven to be effective in the precipitation of heavy metals from real electroplating wastewater, with the only drawback being the huge production of sludge. This sludge was rich in Fe/S/Zn/Cu/Ni and refractory to be recycled due to the extractant pollution by free Fe and the dissolution of sulphide. Herein, a multistep separation method was developed to dissolve sulphide and separate Fe prior to Zn/Cu/Ni.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is characterized by oxidative injury and excessive collagen synthesis in lung fibroblasts, causing impaired pulmonary function and chronic lung injury. Piceatannol, a dietary polyphenol, possesses vital pharmacological effects in metabolic disorders, cancers, cardiovascular disease and infectious disease; however, its role in PF is still not completely elucidated. Mice (8 to 10 weeks old) were administered bleomycin (BLM) intratracheally (2 U/kg) to establish an in vivo PF model.

Cr/Fe-bearing sludge is a hazardous solid waste, produced at mass production in smelting, plating and surface finishing industries. Such waste is commonly treated by chemical detoxification and safety landfill, whereas only a few Cr-rich sludge is recycled as a tanning reagent. In this study, a novel route was developed to recycle Cr/Fe-bearing sludge as erdite-bearing flocculant for wastewater treatment.

In this paper, the process of crack propagation is investigated using the extended finite element method at the mesoscale to study the drill pipe fracture mechanism. Firstly, the property of the S135 drill pipe was analyzed through physical and chemical experiments and the scanning electron microscope method. After that, a grain distribution model of the drill pipe material at the mesoscale was established by the Python scripting language on ABAQUS platform.
