Objective: To study the mechanism of scalp penetration acupuncture treating acute cerebral hemorrhage (ACH).
Methods: The treatment group (n = 30) and the control group (n = 30) were treated with the same basic therapy, but scalp penetration acupuncture was added to the treatment group. Changes of plasma ET and CGRP contents were compared.
Results: After treatment for 14 days, the content of plasma ET in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.01). Moreover, the content of plasma CGRP was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Scalp penetration acupuncture is able to improve the prognosis of the patient with ACH by means of regulating the contents of plasma ET and CGRP.

Alopecia, a common dermatological condition, poses significant psychological and social challenges. Despite the availability of various treatments, their efficacy is often limited by poor bioavailability and delivery challenges. Nanostructured lipid carriers have emerged as promising advanced drug delivery systems for alopecia treatment due to their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds, enhancing their stability, solubility, and controlled release.

We report the case of an 18-month-old boy who developed a phototoxic skin reaction to terbinafine on his scalp, ears, and face in the form of disseminated erythematous plaques, which resembled subacute lupus erythematosus (SCLE) in their clinical presentation. Skin changes appeared a short time after the boy was exposed to sunlight during the period of time when he was treated with oral terbinafine due to Microsporum canis fungal scalp infection. Tinea capitis is a common dermatophyte infection primarily affecting prepubertal children (1).

Despite the long history of the horse-human bond, our understanding of the brain and mind of horses remains limited due to the lack of methods to investigate their brain functions. This study introduces a novel methodology for completely non-invasive, multi-channel recording of electroencephalography (EEG) and evoked potentials in awake horses to examine equine auditory cortical processing. The new approach utilizes specially designed brush-shaped active electrodes that facilitate stable signal acquisition through the hair coat by penetrating electrode pins and integrated pre-amplifiers.

Article Synopsis
- - Venous air embolism is a serious condition caused by air entering the bloodstream, often due to trauma or medical procedures, which can lead to life-threatening complications in the lungs and heart.
- - A case study describes a 34-year-old woman with a head injury from an altercation; despite initial medical treatment resistance due to intoxication, she was later found to have air embolism related to a vein injury and underlying liver disease.
- - The incident highlights the critical need for prompt medical attention for head injuries, especially in individuals with substance abuse issues and pre-existing health problems, to prevent fatal outcomes from complications like air embolism.

Article Synopsis
- Hair-related disorders are a significant concern for both scientists and the public, and microneedle technology shows potential for targeted drug delivery to hair follicles.
- The study developed flexible microneedles made from sodium alginate and polyvinylpyrrolidone that adapt to the curvature of the scalp, enhancing drug delivery effectiveness.
- Animal tests indicate that these flexible microneedles successfully deliver Psoralea corylifolia extract, potentially preventing hair graying associated with vitiligo.
