[Clinical efficacy of fire needling combined with cupping therapy on herpes zoster of acute stage and the effect on Th17/Treg cellular immune balance].

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy between the combined therapy of fire needling and cupping, and western medication on herpes zoster of acute stage, as well as the effects on Th17 and Treg cells and inflammatory factors, i.e. IL-10 and IL-17 in the peripheral blood.

The effect of the CPP size on the nonlinear optical properties of the new necklace-type molecules formed by carborane and [n]Cycloparaphenylenes(n = 8-11).

The new necklace-type molecules were formed by [8-13]CPP and carborane, which further manipulated the size of the macroring, revealing the effect of size on its luminescence behavior. In this work, the effects of ring size on the absorption spectrum, electron excitation and nonlinear optical properties of the compounds were investigated in detail, aiming to reveal an effective way to improve the optical properties of these necklace-type compounds. The absorption spectra of the compounds showed that the size of the CPP ring had little effect on the spectral shape and position, but the electron transition information showed that there were the significant charge transfer within the CPP ring and a gradual enhancement of interfragment charge transfer from the CPP ring to carborane.

Effect of intermolecular interaction of the charge-transfer complex between molecular "tweezers" and C/C on second-order nonlinear optical properties.

To enhance understanding of the correlation between the intermolecular interaction and second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, we studied a "molecular tweezer" with two corannulene substituents linked by a tetrahydro[5]helicene imide, which enabled highly sensitive and selective complexation of C/C through convex-concave π-π interactions. The geometric structure, molecular orbitals, intermolecular interactions, electron absorption spectra and second-order NLO properties of the charge-transfer (CT) complexes formed by molecular tweezers and C/C were studied by density functional theory. Larger fullerenes helped to increase the intermolecular interaction and CT, thereby increasing the first hyperpolarizabilities of CT complexes.

Assembling of Perylene, Naphthalene, and Pyromellitic Diimide-Based Materials and Their Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties.

π-conjugated aromatic diimides with chemical stability, heat resistance, and redox activity have attracted more attention due to their excellent fluorescence quantum yield in solution. The planar perylene diimide (PDI) derivatives generally have aggregation-induced emission quenching in the solid state, while the cyclic trimers based on pyromellitic diimides (PMDIs), naphthalene diimides (NDIs), and PDIs can increase the fluorescence quantum yield in the solid state and have large two-photon absorption cross section, which can be used as excellent nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Therefore, this paper will study the effects of multiple assembly modes of the three monomers on the NLO responses of materials.

[Professor 's clinical experience of acupuncture for oculomotor nerve paralysis].

Professor -'s clinical experience of acupuncture for oculomotor nerve palsy was summarized and one typical case was introduced. Professor skillfully applied traditional acupuncture theory and classical acupuncture method, and proposed a diagnosis and treatment system combining meridian syndrome differentiation and specific acupuncture techniques. In addition, Professor combined the -primary and -connecting acupoints combination method, theory of "removing the stagnation of blood and " and theory of root-stem and origin-end, etc.

The shape selectivity of corannulene dimers based on concave-convex and convex-convex shape complementarity as hosts for C and C.

In the formation of noncovalent complexes, the stacking arrangements of corannulene and fullerene are diverse, most of which are combinations of multiple corannulenes and fullerene. Here, a composition ratio of 2 : 1 was selected for the complex between corannulene and fullerene (C60 and C70) to investigate the effects of different superposition modes, including concave-convex and convex-convex interactions, on the stability and third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the composite materials. It was found that the concave-convex interaction was stronger and it was reported to stabilize the charge-transfer (CT) complex more effectively than the convex-convex interaction.

Differentiation of Intraspinal Tuberculosis and Metastatic Cancer Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the differences in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings between intraspinal tuberculosis and metastatic cancer, which may aid in making the correct diagnosis.

Patients And Methods: The clinical features and MRI findings of 15 patients with intraspinal tuberculosis and 11 patients with intraspinal metastatic cancers were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: The mean ages of the patients with intraspinal tuberculosis and metastatic cancer were 26.
