Published: January 2008

There were great developments about the TCM since the last years of Warring States. The physiological viewpoints were focused on vessel (channel), zang-fu viscera and various structures of the body. Although there were divergences between medical texts and contents because of different viewpoints. It promoted medical experiences and knowledge fast and the characteristic faced more appears. Deep and extensive exploration about these physiological programs enabled relevant knowledge correlating one another, and the holistic body concepts of the Chinese medicine takes shape gradually. Because of various kinds of life-related knowledge gradually become enriched and complicated, the experiences turned into notions and theories, the focus of medical research was changed from "from outside to inside" to "from outside inside". At the same time, the originally exploratory process and the knowledge about the human body gradually tended to be the data--modular, systematical knowledge-network, and became more conveniently operated.

The effect of gesture expressivity on emotional resonance in storytelling interaction.

Front Psychol

December 2024

Institute for Logic, Language and Computation, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The key function of storytelling is a meeting of hearts: a resonance in the recipient(s) of the story narrator's emotion toward the story events. This paper focuses on the role of gestures in engendering emotional resonance in conversational storytelling. The paper asks three questions: Does story narrators' gesture expressivity increase from story onset to climax offset (RQ #1)? Does gesture expressivity predict specific EDA responses in story participants (RQ #2)? How important is the contribution of gesture expressivity to emotional resonance compared to the contribution of other predictors of resonance (RQ #3)? 53 conversational stories were annotated for a large number of variables including Protagonist, Recency, Group composition, Group size, Sentiment, and co-occurrence with quotation.

Computational exploration of injection strategies for improving medicine distribution in the liver.

Faculty of Chemical & Petroleum Engineering, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran. Electronic address:

Background And Objectives: The liver, a vital metabolic organ, is always susceptible to various diseases that ultimately lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, acute liver failure, chronic liver failure, and even cancer. Optimal and specific medicine delivery in various diseases, hepatectomy, shunt placement, and other surgical interventions to reduce liver damage, transplantation, optimal preservation, and revival of the donated organ all rely on a complete understanding of perfusion and mass transfer in the liver. This study aims to simulate the computational fluid dynamics of perfusion and the temporal-spatial distribution of a medicine in a healthy liver to evaluate the hemodynamic characteristics of flow and medicine transport with the purpose of more effective liver treatment.

Background: Falls are a common problem experienced by people living with HIV yet predictive models specific to this population remain underdeveloped. We aimed to identify, assess and stratify the predictive strength of various physiological, behavioral, and HIV-specific factors associated with falls among people living with HIV and inform a predictive model for fall prevention.

Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to explore predictors of falls in people living with HIV.

Transient Receptor Potential Canonical (TRPC) channels have received more attention in recent years for their role of in the pathophysiology of chronic pain. These non-selective cation channels, which are predominantly present on cell membranes, play a pivotal role in regulating both physiological and pathological processes. Research advances have shown the critical role of TRPC channels in a variety of chronic pain, including neuropathic, inflammatory, and visceral pain.
