[Analysis of acupoints selection rules and efficacy evaluation of acupuncture and moxibustion for allergic rhinitis].

Objective: To explore the rules of acupoints selection of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) by using data mining technology, as well as to compare the efficacy of different acupoints selection methods.

Methods: Papers about acupuncture and moxibustion for treating AR published from January 2002 to August 2022 was retrieved from Chinese and English databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed and PubMed by using keywords of "acupuncture", "moxibustion" and "allergic rhinitis". According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the collected literature was screened to establish the AR database.

The effect of acupuncture used for cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type is a common clinical disease. With the change of people's lifestyle and the improvement of people who work at desks, its incidence is also increasing, which can seriously affect people's normal life and work. Acupuncture has been gradually accepted and recognized by the public for its green, simple and safe characteristics.

Talbot effect of an electromagnetically induced square photonic lattice assisted by a spatial light modulator.

We demonstrate the Talbot effect of an electromagnetically induced square photonic lattice formed under the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) condition both experimentally and theoretically in a three-level atomic configuration. The two-dimensional lattice patterns result from the diffraction of a Gaussian probe field traveling through the vapor cell, in which the refractive index is modulated by a coupling field with a two-dimensional periodic intensity distribution generated by a spatial light modulator. The experimental observations are consistent with the theoretical predictions.
