Objective: To probe into the role of electroacupuncture in treatment of peripheral facial paralysis.
Methods: Eighty-six cases were divided into a treatment group (n=45) treated with electroacupuncture plus Chinese medicine, and a control group (n=41) treated with acupuncture plus Chinese medicine. Taiyang (EX-HN 5), Yangbai (GB 14) and other points on the affected side were selected and Chinese medicine modified Qianzheng powder was administrated. Their clinical therapeutic effects were analyzed and evaluated.
Results: The effective rate was 97. 8% in the treatment group and 82.9% in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). the treatment group being higher than the control group.
Conclusion: Chinese medicine plus acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture has a better therapeutic effect on peripheral facial paralysis.

Legume leaves exhibit diverse compound forms, with various regulatory mechanisms underlying the development. The transcription factor-encoding KNOXI genes are required to promote leaflet initiation in most compound-leafed angiosperms. In non-IRLC (inverted repeat-lacking clade) legumes, KNOXI are expressed in compound leaf primordia but not in others (IRLC).

Inflammatory bone resorption represents a pathological condition marked by an increase in bone loss, commonly associated with chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis. Current therapies primarily focus on anti-inflammatory drugs and bisphosphonates; however, these treatments are limited due to side effects, inadequate efficacy, and unpredictable long-term complications. Kurarinone (KR), a bioactive compound isolated from the traditional Chinese herb Sophora flavescens, exhibits a range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and cardiovascular protective effects.

Med Phys
January 2025
Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou, China.
Background: Online adaptive radiotherapy (OART) and rapid quality assurance (QA) are essential for effective heavy ion therapy (HIT). However, there is a shortage of deep learning (DL) models and workflows for predicting Monte Carlo (MC) doses in such treatments.
Purpose: This study seeks to address this gap by developing a DL model for independent MC dose (MCDose) prediction, aiming to facilitate OART and rapid QA implementation for HIT.

Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of the direct inferior endplate approach in percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID) for the treatment of L5-S1 disc herniation.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 116 patients with L5-S1 disc herniation treated with PEID; 74 patients underwent surgery via the direct inferior endplate approach (group A), and 42 patients underwent surgery via the indirect approach (group B). The number of intraoperative fluoroscopy exposures, establishment channel time, operation time, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were compared between the 2 groups.
