Patients' expectancy scale of acupuncture: Development and clinical performance test.

Purpose: This study aims to develop and validate a concise tool for evaluating acupuncture expectancy that is easy to understand and conforms to acupuncture characteristics.

Materials And Methods: A draft was created using the Delphi consensus method. Reliability, validity, discrimination, and feasibility tests were conducted at the item and scale levels.

[Effects of Combined Application of Biogas Slurry and Straw on the Migration and Fractions of Soil Heavy Metals in Rice-wheat Rotation System in Coastal Reclamation Areas].

In order to reveal the impact of the application of biogas slurry instead of chemical nitrogen fertilizer on the environmental risk of heavy metals in the soil by returning straw to the field, four treatments, without biogas slurry and without straw applications (CK), biogas slurry application without straw (B), straw application without biogas slurry (S), and biogas slurry combined with straw applications (BS), were applied in a typical coastal reclaimed farmland (rice-wheat rotation) in Jiangsu province. The migration and morphological characteristics of Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb in different soil layers were observed, and the potential environmental risks were estimated. The results showed that:① The total amounts of Zn and Pb in the surface soils (0-20 cm) in the rice and wheat fields under the BS treatment decreased significantly (<0.
