Objective: To expound a new viewpoint about the clinical main points of moxibustion.
Methods: Starting from study on the heat-sensitivity phenomenon of points, establish a new therapy based on the rule of heat-sensitivity of points and approach whether moxibustion can trigger the sensation propagated along the channel like acupuncture and moxibustion and whether need invigorating the sensation propagated along the channel to increase clinical effect with clinical therapeutic effects of moxibustion used as the test criterion.
Results: Moxibustion, just like acupuncture, can high-effectively invigorate the sensation propagated along the channel; moxibustion must trigger the moxibustion sensation propagated along the channel, can the curative effect be increased.
Conclusion: Arrival of qi produces the effect of moxibustion.

Fitness coaches seem to play an essential role in the field of exercise as they help prevent sedentary lifestyles and promote overall health, quality of life, and well-being. This study aimed to explore the effects of fitness coaches' behavior perceptions, intrinsic motivation, and enjoyment of exercisers on their long-term fitness and health, as well as their commitment to exercise. A total of 202 individuals participated in the study that was developed over three data gathering occasions (baseline, three months and six months).

Airborne ultrasound phased arrays (AUPAs) generate non-contact tactile sensations and enable acoustic levitation with specific focus fields. Using multiple units together offers numerous advantages, such as increased stimulus intensity and the ability to overcome occlusion. The AUPA units are typically mounted on a fixed frame, with their poses manually measured using tools such as a ruler for calibration.

The Weberian apparatus is a novel hearing adaptation that facilitates increased hearing sensitivity in otophysan fishes. The apparatus is a complex system composed of modifications to anterior vertebral elements, the inner ear, and the swim bladder. A critical piece of the system that often receives minor attention are the various ligaments that bridge these three regions.

Conduction delay and failure behaviors of action potentials with a high frequency along nerve fiber are related to the abnormal functions. For instance, upregulation of a hyperpolarization-activated cation current ( ) is identified to reduce the conduction delay to recover the temporal encoding, and downregulation of the current to enhance the conduction failure rate to ease the pain sensation, with the dynamic mechanisms remaining unclear. In the present paper, the dynamic mechanism is obtained in a chain network model with coupling strength ( ) and action potentials induced by periodic stimulations with a period ( ).
