Combination of a bronchogenic cyst in the thoracic spinal canal with chronic myelocytic leukemia.

The presented case report describes an incredibly rare instance of an intramedullary bronchial cyst located in the thoracic spinal canal on the dorsal side of the spinal cord, which was observed in a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia. A 29-year-old man presented with back pain for half a month, along with numbness and pain below the chest and ribs for 1 week. Hypersensitivity was present in the inferior plane of the long xiphoid process in the nervous system.

Different patterns of dynamic variations on electrical conductances of acupoints between Qi Vacuity and Qi non-Vacuity after glucose ingestion.

Objectives: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Qi maintains the physiologic function and indicates physiologic energy. Glucose provides energy to humans, thereby playing a role analogous to "nutritive Qi." This study aims to identify the correlations among blood glucose, Qi Vacuity (QV), and the electrical conductances of acupoints.

Electrical lumped model for arterial vessel beds.

Numerous electrical analog models of the circulatory system have been proposed. However, conventional models are either too simple, focusing exclusively on heart function, or overly complex, characterizing arteries in excessive detail. The vessel beds, which comprise arteries, capillaries and veins, are well known to be responsible for most of the pressure drop in blood pressure and to dominate the draining of blood flow.
