Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of moxibustion at Baihui (CV20) combined with acupuncture in treatment of cervical vertigo.
Methods: From the databases, such as CNKI, VIP, WanFang, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase, the studies of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on moxibustion at CV20 combined with acupuncture for cervical vertigo were searched from inception to September 15, 2021. The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool was utilized to evaluate the quality of the included literature.
Objective: To observe the effect of ZhuLian's type Ⅱ inhibition needling technique on sex hormones, insulin resistance and ovarian morphology in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), so as to explore its mechanism on regulating endocrine and metabolic dysfunction of PCOS.
Methods: Twenty-four female SD rats were randomly divided into control, model and ZhuLian acupuncture groups (=8 in each group). The PCOS model was established by continuous gavage of letrozole combined with high-fat diet.
Objective: To observe the efficacy of inhibition type Ⅰ acupuncture for acne with spleen-stomach dampness-heat, and to explore its possible action mechanism.
Methods: A total of 82 patients of acne with spleen-stomach dampness-heat were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 41 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with capsules (1 g, 3 times per day) and 0.
Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with Zhuang-medicine-thread moxibustion on silent information regulator-1 (SIRT1)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signal pathway and inflammatory factor expression in gastric antrum tissue of diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) rats, so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of DGP.
Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal, model, medication, EA, Zhuang-medicine-thread moxibustion (moxibustion) and EA+moxibustion groups (=12 per group). The DGP model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ).
Objective: To evaluate the value of chitinase-like protein YKL-40 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) for predicting refractory pneumonia (RMPP) in children.
Methods: A total of 50 children with common pneumonia (MPP) and 22 children with RMPP were enrolled. The two groups were compared in terms of clinical features, laboratory examination results, imaging findings, and YKL-40 levels in BALF.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the relationship between YKL-40 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and airway damage in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).
- A total of 60 children with MPP were compared to 12 control children, and the MPP group was categorized based on imaging and bronchoscopic findings, observing various symptoms and laboratory results.
- Results indicated that higher levels of YKL-40 in BALF correlate with greater airway damage, particularly in subgroups showing pulmonary consolidation and plastic bronchitis, highlighting its potential role as a biomarker for assessing airway injury in MPP.
In the mammalian ovary, >99% follicles fail to ovulate due to apoptosis in granulosa cells. Aurora B, a core subunit enzyme of the chromosomal passenger complex, exerts a crucial role in microtubule‑kinetochore attachment, and has been reported to be modified by small ubiquitin‑related modifier (SUMO) proteins. However, the details of how Aurora B and its SUMOylation impact on follicular development have yet to be fully elucidated.

However, the relationship of Eag1 expression with the clinical outcome of patients having ovarian cancer treated with cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy is still unknown. In this study, we measured the expression of Eag1 in ovarian cancer and investigated the association between cisplatin chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer cells and Eag1 expression level.

- A novel particle-based display medium and driving mechanism have been created for electronic paper displays, utilizing polarized particles that form chains through dipole interactions in an electric field.
- The study involved measuring optical properties, such as transmittance and reflectance, of varying particle concentrations and thicknesses in a display medium primarily made of polystyrene particles suspended in water.
- Results indicated that applying electric fields significantly enhanced the reflectance and contrast of the display, demonstrating potential for improved image clarity in programmable electronic displays.
