Objective: To analyze the current status of animal experiments of acupuncture in intervening chronic fatigue syndrome, so as to search formethods to improve the quality of animal experiment reports.
Methods: From the databases, such as CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library, the literature of animal experiment on acupuncture treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome was searched from January 1, 2011 to April 2, 2022. Data were extracted according to the animal research reporting experiment (ARRIVE) guidelines 2.
Objective: To investigate the mechanism of the effect of Astragalus membranaceus (A. membranaceus) on lung adenocarcinoma at the molecular level to elucidate the specific targets according to the network pharmacology approach.
Methods: The active components of A.

Purpose: To investigate the protein profile by two dimensional polycrylamide gel electrophoresis on the rat condylar chondrocyte in vitro.
Methods: The third-passage chondrocytes were harvested from the mandibular condyles of 2-day-old rats in this study. The protein profile of the rat mandibular condylar chondrocytes was examined by two dimensional polycrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE-PAGE).
The objectives of this study were to investigate the early response to mechanical stress in neonatal rat mandibular chondrocytes by proteomic analysis. To evaluate its molecular mechanism, chondrocytes were isolated and cultured in vitro, then loaded mechanical stress by four-point bending system on different patterns. Morphological observation, flow cytometric analysis, and MTT assays indicated that 4,000 microstrain loading for 60 min was an appropriate mechanical stimulus for the following proteome analysis, which produced a transient but obvious inhibitory effect on the cell cycle.

Objective: To probe into the effect of acupuncture at "Sishencong" (EX-HN 1) on sleep and the mechanism.
Methods: Forty-eight white mice were randomly divided into a Sishencong group, a Zusanli group, a model group and a blank control group, 12 mice in each group. In the mice of the first 3 groups, sleep rhythm disorders was induced by repeatedly regular intraperitoneal injection of small dose of Caffeine, and the mice of the first two groups were treated by acupuncture at "Sishencong" (EX-HN 1) and "Zusanli" (ST 36), respectively.
Objective: To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of the needling method for regulating wei and strengthening brain on insomnia.

He was a great master not only in manipulation methods of acupuncture, but also in moxibustion therapy, with unique and profound deep cognition. His main contributions include the three aspects: (1) collected a great deal of methods and experience of moxibustion treatment from moxibustion physicians and gathered and mustered a great works about moxibustion methods before the Ming Dynasty; (2) combined with his own clinical experiences, systematized the methods and techniques of moxibustion, including the relationship between posture and point-fathoming, the treatment orders, the size of moxa cone, the number of moxa cones, the techniques of burning moxa, the methods for vesiculation moxibustion, etc.
