The negative association between serum albumin levels and coronary heart disease risk in adults over 45 years old: a cross-sectional survey.

This study aimed to assess the correlation between serum albumin levels and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in adults aged over 45 years. This cross-sectional study used the non-institutionalized US population from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2011-2018) as the sample source. Multiple logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between serum albumin levels and CHD risk.

Jiaji (EX-B2)-Based Electroacupuncture Preconditioning Attenuates Early Ischaemia Reperfusion Injury in the Rat Myocardium.

Background: Acupuncture preconditioning was able to reduce the extent of ischaemia reperfusion (/) injury. Previous studies have shown that electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment at T4-T5 Jiaji (EX-B2) acupoints had cardioprotective effects against myocardial / injury. However, the molecular mechanism remains inconclusive.

[Effect of "Jiaji" (EX-B2)-electroacupuncture preconditioning on expression of myocardial cytochrome P450 enzyme in rats with acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury].

Objective: To investigate the effect of "Jiaji"(EX-B2)-electroacupuncture(EA) preconditioning on structural changes of myocardium and expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes in acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) rats.

Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, EX-B2, Neiguan (PC6), Yanglingquan(GB34) and Quchi (LI11) groups (＝10 in each group). The MIRI model was established by occlusion of the descending anterior branch of the left coronary artery for 30 min, followed by reperfusion for 30 min.

The Optimal Design of Field Ring for Reliability and Realization of 3.3 kV Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor Power Semiconductor.

This research was about field ring for 3.3 kV planar gate power IGBT. Therefore, we designed optimal field ring for 3.

Study on 3.3 kV Super Junction Field Stop Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor According to Design and Process Parameters.

In this paper, we analyzed the electrical characteristics of 3.3 kV super junction FS IGBT as next generation power device by structural design. The device parameters were extracted by design and process simulation.

[Manual Acupuncture Stimulation Regulates Expression of Receptor Activity-modifying Protein 1 and 5-HT 1 D Receptor Proteins and Genes in Migraine Rats].

Objective: To observe the effect of liver-soothing and mental-activity-regulating (LSMAR) needling on the expression of receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP 1, receptor of calcitonin gene-related peptide), 5-hydroxytryptamine 1 D receptor(5-HT 1 DR) in the spinal trigeminal nucleus (STN) and midbrain in migraine rats, so as to explore its underlying mechanism in relieving migraine.

Methods: A total of 40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, model, LSMAR and conventional needling groups (=10 rats in each). The migraine model was established by subcutaneous injection of nitroglycerin at the posterior neck.

[Effect of Manual Acupuncture Preconditioning on Behavior and Contents of Serum CGRP, SP, IL-1 β and TNF-α Levels in Migraine Rats].

Objective: To observe the effect of liver-soothing and mental-activity-regulating (LSMAR) needling on behavior reactions and contents of serum calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP), interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in migraine rats, so as to explore its mechanism underlying relief of migraine.

Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, model, LSMAR needling and conventional needling groups (=8 rats in each). The migraine model was established by hypodermic injection of glyceryl trinitrate (5 mg/kg) at the napex.

[Effect of "Jiaji"(EX-B 2)-electroacupuncture Preconditioning on Expression of Cytochrome P 450 Signaling Pathways in Myocardial Ischemia-reperfusion Rats].

Objective: To investigate the effect of "Jiaji"(EX-B 2)-electroacupuncture(EA) preconditioning on the myocardium and expression of cytochrome P 450 signaling pathways of myocardial cells in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MI/RI) rats.

Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, Jiaji, Neiguan(PC 6), Yanglingquan(GB 34) and Quchi(LI 11) groups (=10 in each group). MI/RI model was established by occlusion of the descen-ding anterior branch of the left coronary artery.

[Impacts of electroacupuncture at Lingtai (GV 10) and Shendao (GV 11) on premature heartbeat].

Objective: To observe the specific clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture at Lingtai (GV 10) and Shendao (GV 11) on premature heartbeat.

Methods: Seventy-two cases of premature heartbeat were randomized into an observation group and a control group. In the observation group, electroacupuncture was applied at Lingtai (GV 10) and Shendao (GV 11).
