Effectiveness of gua sha with Masanggoubang oil in rats with chronic soft tissue injury.

Background: Chronic soft tissue injury is characterized by sterile inflammation and pain. Gua sha with Masanggoubang oil (GSMO) treatment has been found to possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

Objectives: To explore the mechanism of GSMO in chronic soft tissue injuries.

Postoperative fever after elective minimally invasive resection for gastric and colorectal cancer: incidence, risk factors and characteristics.

Purpose: To analyze the incidence and risk factors of postoperative fever (POF) in gastrointestinal cancer (GIC), discuss the influence of POF on short-term clinical outcomes, and predict anastomotic leakage (AL) based on POF characteristics.

Methods: Overall, 1362 patients that underwent radical resection for GIC were retrospectively analyzed. POF was defined as a postoperative temperature ≥38°C during hospitalization.

Exploring Individual Differences in Interoception Among Athletes Based on a Three-Dimensional Construct of Interoception.

Previous studies demonstrated that sensorimotor training enhances interoceptive abilities. Athletes are highly engaged in performance-driven physical training and often incorporate-to varying degrees-sensorimotor training into their routines. In this study, we investigated the role of individual differences in interoception by comparing professional athletes of different performance levels and both sexes with recreational athletes and controls, applying a three-dimensional model of interoception.

Genetic Improvement of rice Grain size Using the CRISPR/Cas9 System.

Rice grain size influences both grain yield and quality, making it a significant target for rice genetic improvement. In recent years, numerous genes related to grain size with differential effects have been cloned. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) gene editing system is a convenient tool for modifying genes.

Experimental study and field application of hydraulic flushing technology in soft coal seam.

To enhance the safety of coal mining operations and improve the efficiency of gas extraction, hydraulic flushing technology has been widely used in low permeability coal seams. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of hydraulic flushing by conducting experiments focusing on four aspects: sample strength, punching pressure, punching position and vibration direction. The results show that an increase in hydraulic flushing pressure leads to a deeper impact groove, whereas higher sample strength results in a shallower groove.
