Efficacy of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation over the Supplementary Motor Area on Motor Function in Parkinson's Disease: A Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the supplementary motor area (SMA) in motor function in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients.

Method: Databases searched included 5 databases from October 7,2022 to January 4, 2023. The Cochrane Bias Risk Assessment Tool was used for quality assessment.

[Rapid determination of aesculin and aesculetin in Fraxini Cortex by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet at equal absorption wavelength].

Fraxini Cortex is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that has been used for thousands of years to treat dampness-heat diarrhea, dysentery, red or white vaginal discharge, painful swelling or redness of the eyes, and nebula. It contains various chemical components, including coumarins, iridoids, phenolic acids, and flavonoids. Coumarins are important active ingredients in Fraxini Cortex and have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and antiviral activities.

Efficacy of High-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at 10 Hz in Fibromyalgia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objective: The purpose of this review was to systematically assess the effectiveness of 10-Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in fibromyalgia.

Data Sources: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, and Ovid databases as of November 6, 2021.

Study Selection: The inclusion criteria for this review were randomized controlled trials of 10-Hz rTMS for fibromyalgia, exploring the effects of 10-Hz rTMS on pain, depression, and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia.

A rapid analysis of antioxidants in by online extraction-HPLC-ABTS.

In the present study, a simple and efficient approach based on the online extraction-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with ABTS antioxidant assay (OLE-HPLC-ABTS) was established to quickly and directly analyze the antioxidants in . Through this system, the HPLC mobile phase a guard column packed with a sample was used for online extraction (OLE). The separation was performed on an Agilent Poroshell EC-C18 column with a gradient elution using 0.

[Effect of electroacupuncture on gut microbiota and serum IL-1β and IL-18 in rats with vascular dementia based on principle of "curing brain disorders by treating intestines"].

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) of "Baihui"(GV20), "Dazhui"(GV14), "Shenshu" (BL23)and "Zusanli"(ST36) on the intestinal flora and serum interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 contents in vascular dementia (VD) rats.

Methods: SD rats were randomized into sham operation, VD model, GV20+GV14+BL23 (EA-basic acupoints), and EA-basic acupoints+ST36 and EA-basic acupoints+probiotics groups (=10 in each group). EA (10 Hz/50 Hz) was conducted for 30 min, once daily for 4 consecutive weeks.

[Effects of ERα gene overexpression on bone mineral density and calcium and phosphorus metabolism inovariectomized osteoporosis mice].

To investigate the effects of estrogen receptor α (ERα) gene overexpression on bone metabolism and calcium and phosphorus metabolism in ovariectomized osteoporosis mice, and to provide experimental basis for targeted gene therapy of osteoporosis. Thirty SPF female mice were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group and ERα overexpression group with 10 mice in each group. After the model was established, the ERα overexpression group was transfected with recombinant adenovirus vector carrying mouse ERα gene by intraspinal injection.

Treatment effect and mechanism of Fu's subcutaneous needling among patients with shoulder pain: A retrospective pilot study.

Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) is a new acupuncture therapy developed from acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine models. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of FSN on shoulder pain. In this retrospective comparative study, patient case files with shoulder pain (Group A) treated with FSN were analyzed and compared with the same number of patients with shoulder pain (Group B) treated with conventional acupuncture and physical therapy.

Effect of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation on cognitive and motor functions in poststroke patients.

The aim of the study was to explore the effect of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation on cognitive and motor functions in poststroke patients. All patients were divided into Group A and Group B based on different interventions (Group A: acupuncture + conventional rehabilitation, Group B: conventional rehabilitation alone). Acupuncture was conducted once a day, five times a week for 8 weeks, and rehabilitation (including physical therapy and occupational therapy) was conducted for 2 hr per session, once a day, five times a week for 8 weeks.

[Application of the interaction teaching mode integrated with virtual anatomy platform in teaching ].

Objective: To observe the effect of the interaction teaching mode integrated with Visible Body virtual anatomy platform in teaching .

Methods: A total of 60 students in the class of 2017 in the discipline of acupuncture-moxibustion and , Xiangnan University were recruited and randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 students in each one. In the control group, the traditional practical teaching mode was used.
