Objective: To compare therapeutic effects of herb-partitioned spread moxibustion and western medicine on chronic nonspecific ulcerative colitis.
Methods: Sixty cases were randomly divided into a spread moxibustion group (n = 28) and a western medicine group (n = 32). The spread moxibustion group was treated with herb-partitioned spread moxibustion at lower limb around stomach meridian, abdomen region around Guanyuan (CV 4) and lower Jiaji (EX B 2) points; and the western medicine group was treated with oral administration of Sulfasalazine. Their therapeutic effects were observed after treatment.
Results: The cured-markedly effective rate was 71.4% (20/ 28) in the spread moxibustion group, and 25.0% (8/32) in the western medicine group, the former was better than the latter (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: The therapeutic effect of herb-partitioned spread moxibustion for treatment of chronic nonspecific ulcerative colitis is better than that of the oral administration of Sulfasalazine with less adverse reaction, and is worth popularizing in clinic.

Migraine is a complex disorder characterized by episodes of moderate-to-severe, often unilateral headaches and generally accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and increased sensitivity to light (photophobia), sound (phonophobia), and smell (hyperosmia). Photophobia is considered the most bothersome symptom of migraine attacks. Although the underlying mechanism remains unclear, the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are considered to be involved in photophobia associated with migraine.

Background: Clinically, most patients with lung cancer (LC) die from tumor spread and metastasis. Specific metastasis-related molecules can provide reference for clinical prediction of efficacy, evaluation of prognosis, and search for the best treatment plan. Troponin T1 (TNNT1) is highly expressed in various cancer tissues, which affects malignant behavior of tumor cells and is related to patients' survival and prognosis.

This paper introduces a moxa floss shaping and spreading device for governor vessel moxibustion. This device is consisted of a storage unit and a propulsion unit, capable of automatically shaping moxa sticks for governor vessel moxibustion. The device allows for the flexible adjustment of moxa stick length, better conforming to the physiological curvature of the spine, and avoiding potential burns associated with governor vessel moxibustion.

Glutathione (GSH)‑degrading enzymes are essential for starting the first stages of GSH degradation. These enzymes include extracellular γ‑glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and intracellular GSH‑specific γ‑glutamylcyclotransferase 1 (ChaC1) and 2. These enzymes are essential for cellular activities, such as immune response, differentiation, proliferation, homeostasis regulation and programmed cell death.
