Parabiosis theory clearly expounds the change course of stimulatiom, namely, parabiotic equalization phase, parabiotic deregulation phase and parabiotic inhibition phase, and it can clearly explain that the effective stimulating amount is directly related to the reinforcing or reducing, and establishment of the therapeutic course. That is, the large effective stimulating amount is reducing method and the small effective stimulating amount is reinforcing method. In clinical application, for deficiency syndrome and chronic diseases, the effective intensity of acuti puncture should be smaller and the needle should be retained for 20-30 min, and for excess syndrome and acute disd eases, the effective stimulating intensity of acupuncture should be larger and the needle should be retained for longer time. In acupuncture treatment, acupoints should be grouped and used alternately, and the interval between therapeutic courses should be established.

This paper developed an efficient microbial activator formula and conducted an in-depth study on its efficacy and mechanism in promoting the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in oil-contaminated soil. A 60-day microbial remediation experiment conducted on oily soil revealed that the microbial activators significantly boosted the activities of dehydrogenase and catalase, subsequently speeding up the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil. The overall degradation rate reached as high as 71.

Historically, electrophysiological correlates of scene processing have been studied with experiments using static stimuli presented for discrete timescales where participants maintain a fixed eye position. Gaps remain in generalizing these findings to real-world conditions where eye movements are made to select new visual information and where the environment remains stable but changes with our position and orientation in space, driving dynamic visual stimulation. Co-recording of eye movements and electroencephalography (EEG) is an approach to leverage fixations as time-locking events in the EEG recording under free-viewing conditions to create fixation-related potentials (FRPs), providing a neural snapshot in which to study visual processing under naturalistic conditions.

Introduction: Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a neuropathic syndrome experienced by the majority of amputees. Various treatment options are available for amputees suffering from PLP including pharmacological, psychological and neuromodulation techniques. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that has proven its efficacy in alleviating PLP.

Disuse bone loss is prone to occur in individuals who lack mechanical stimulation due to prolonged spaceflight or extended bed rest, rendering them susceptible to fractures and placing an enormous burden on social care; nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms of bone loss caused by mechanical unloading have not been fully elucidated. Numerous studies have focused on the epigenetic regulation of disuse bone loss; yet limited research has been conducted on the impact of RNA modification bone formation in response to mechanical unloading conditions. In this study, we discovered that mA reader IGF2BP1 was downregulated in both osteoblasts treated with 2D clinostat and bone tissue in HLU mice.

Insulin secretion is mainly regulated by two electrophysiological events, depolarization initiated by the closure of ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels and repolarization mediated by K+ efflux. Quinine, a natural component commonly used for the treatment of malaria, has been reported to directly stimulate insulin release and lead to hypoglycemia in patients during treatment through inhibiting KATP channels. In this study, we verified the insulinotropic effect of quinine on the isolated mouse pancreatic islets.
