Literatures on acupuncture analgesia of the recent 30 years are analyzed through the target pain syndromes, points and tools selected for needling as well as the chosen direction, angle and depth of insertion. The relationship between effect of acupuncture analgesia and needling direction, angle as well as depth is initially optimized to enhance the analgesic effect. The result shows that the 3 factors are the key influences. However, studies on the above mentioned relation are still far from enough. Aiming at enhancing the effect of acupuncture analgesia and exploring the relative mechanism, it is held that multivariate analysis should be adopted to do systematic analysis on relationship between effect and mechanism of acupuncture analgesia and direction, angle and depth of the needle insertion.

Superlattices from twisted graphene mono- and bilayer systems give rise to on-demand many-body states such as Mott insulators and unconventional superconductors. These phenomena are ascribed to a combination of flat bands and strong Coulomb interactions. However, a comprehensive understanding is lacking because the low-energy band structure strongly changes when an electric field is applied to vary the electron filling.

We present a simple and inexpensive method for measuring weak cohesive interactions. This technique is applied to the specific case of oil droplets with a depletion interaction, dispersed in an aqueous solution. The experimental setup involves creating a short string of droplets while immobilizing a single droplet.

Background: TDP-43 (TAR DNA-binding protein 43) is one of the most frequently observed co-pathologies in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recognizing the diversity of pathological features in individuals with AD, including the presence of TDP-43, may lead to more personalized and effective treatment approaches. We investigate ante-mortem cortical microstructural changes in MRI with subsequent autopsy confirmation of Alzheimer's disease neuropathological changes (ADNC) with and without TDP-43 comorbidity.

Diffusion MRI appears to be sensitive to CAA and detects punctate cortical lesions in CAA cases post-mortem. DTI of white matter tracts was found to be sensitive to alterations in symptomatic HCHWA-D carriers but did not show alterations in presymptomatic carriers (Schouten et al.
