Modern literature on the physical property of the -source point were collected from Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) and China Biology Medicine(CBM) databases. The physical property,relevant diseases and -source acupoints were analyzed through statistical analysis of literature metrology. It is considered that articles on the electrical resistance of acupoint account for the largest part,which are mainly related to hyperthyreosis and the change of menstrual cycle.

Background: Acupuncture has analgesic effect to most pain conditions. Many neuroimaging studies were conducted to explore acupoint specificity in pain and other condition, but till now there is still discrepancy. Based on our previous finding, this study investigated the brain metabolism changes of acupuncture analgesia induced by sub-specific acupoint and non-acupoint stimulation.

By specific oxygen uptake rate, (SOUR) measurements of activated sludge with different metal ion concentration, the optimal stimulation concentrations of Mn2+, Mo6+ and Zn2+ were determined. Then within each metal ion stimulation concentration range, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were extracted from activated sludge and its components (protein, polysaccharide and nucleic acid) contents changes were investigated. The results showed that the optimal stimulation concentration of each metal ion is 1mg x L(-1).
