AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how the cutaneous temperature of specific acupoints correlates with environmental temperature and humidity among female undergraduate students during menstruation.
- The analysis involved 49 volunteers, monitoring their skin temperature at various acupoints using a dynamic skin temperature detector under controlled temperature and humidity conditions.
- Results indicated that skin temperatures at several acupoints increased with higher room temperatures, while humidity had no significant effect on skin temperature measurements.
Article Abstract
Objective: To observe the relationship between the cutaneous temperature of the acupoint area and the environmental temperature and humidity in healthy female undergraduate student volunteers.
Methods: Forty-nine healthy female undergraduate student volunteers experiencing menstruation were enrolled in the present study. The cutaneous temperature of the acupoint region was detected for 60 min by using a "dynamic skin temperature detector" and under room temperature of (22.15 +/- 1.47) degrees C and indoor relative humidity of (50.12 +/- 4.52)%. The detected acupoints were Xuehai (SP10), Diji (SP8), Zhongdu (LR 6), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Taixi (KI 3), Taibai (SP 3), Taichong (LR 3) and Shuiquan (KI 5)which have been well documented in effectively regulating uterine activity, and Xuanzhong (GB 39) and non-meridian acupoint nearby GB 39. The skin temperature measurement was conducted on the first day of menstruation.
Results: The skin temperature levels of Xuehai (SP 10), Diji (SP 8), Zhongdu (LR 6), Xuanzhong (GB 39) and non-acupoint near GB 39 were apparently hig-her under higher temperature, showing a significant relevance between the acupoint skin temperature and room temperature (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found between skin temperature levels of Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Taixi (KI 3), Taibai (SP 3), Taichong (LR 3) and Shuiquan (KI 5) and the indoor temperature (P > 0.05), between the skin temperature difference of the bilateral isonym acupoints and the indoor temperature, and between the skin temperature difference and the indoor humidity (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: The skin temperature of some acupoints is influenced by the environment temperature rather than the indoor humidity.

Trauma healing is the process of healing after the body has been subjected to an external force and the skin and other tissues have become dissected or defective, showing the synergistic effect of various processes. Therefore, the investigation of innovative wound dressings has significant research and clinical implications. In this study, we constructed a zinc based metal-organic framework (MOF) and loaded with antimicrobial peptide LL37 to prepare LL37@ZPF-2 (ZPF = zeolite pyrimidine backbone), which was subsequently integrated with Poloxamer 407 to fabricate LL37@ZPF-2 thermosensitive hydrogel.

Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) have gained increasing attention due to their robust mechanical properties, favorable biocompatibility, and facile surface modification. However, green and recyclable CNF production remains challenging. Herein, a green, low-cost and room-temperature strategy was developed to exfoliate CNFs using deep eutectic solvents.

Fish gelatin, a sustainable substitute for mammalian gelatin, frequently exhibits weaker gel strength and thermal stability, limiting its industrial uses. This study investigated an in vivo method to improve functional characteristics by supplementing Nile tilapia diets with Aronia extract. The control diet (A0) contained no Aronia extract, while the remaining four diets consisted of commercial pelleted feed enriched with 250 mg/kg (A250), 500 mg/kg (A500), 750 mg/kg (A750), and 1000 mg/kg (A1000) of Aronia extract.
