Objective: To investigate expression features and correlation of genes expression on MyD88-dependent signaling pathway in synovial membrane (SM) of progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, including blank group (N), false surgical group, model groups[2 weeks (2W), 4 weeks (4W), 8 weeks (8W) and 12 weeks (12W)], with 10 rats in each group. The models were established by using Hulth method.
Objective: To screen the effective acupoints for anti-depression in depression rats and to explore the mechanisms of acupuncture for relieving depression.

The depression model was established by unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS) for 28 days.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical effects of the massage method of micro-regulating with vertical cross pressing lying on one side in treating cervicogenic headache (CEH).
