Back-shu points were firstly discussed in (the ), and various location methods of back- points had been proposed by acupuncturists until conclusive method was made in dynasty. In this paper, the different location methods of back- points were reviewed; based on this, the reasons of divergences among each theory on location methods were discussed, and the theoretical background and reference of the original establishment of back- points were further explored. Therefore, it was proposed that the standardized location of back- points should be just considered as the center of possible distribution range, and adjustment should be made during clinical application according to the variability of individual combined with finger pressing.

Pelvic venous disorder (PVD) is a common gynecological disorder caused by chronic pelvic venous congestion. Clinically, it primarily manifests as lower abdominal pain, lower back pain, dyspareunia, increased menstrual flow, and increased vaginal discharge, though positive physical signs are few. The gynecological examination may reveal bilateral ovarian tenderness.

Purpose: To explore the effect of different reconstruction algorithms (ASIR-V and DLIR) on image quality and emphysema quantification in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients under ultra-low-dose scanning conditions.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study with patient consent included 62 COPD patients. Patients were examined by pulmonary function test (PFT), standard-dose CT (SDCT) and ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT).

To study the clinical, imaging, and computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy pathology of patients with infectious sacroiliitis (ISI). We retrospectively analysed 135 patients diagnosed with ISI between 2008 and 2020, comprehensively evaluating clinical characteristics, laboratory test outcomes, pathological examination results, and magnetic resonance images (MRI). Among the 135 patients with ISI, 90 (66.

The automated detection of yarn margins is crucial for ensuring the continuity and quality of production in textile workshops. Traditional methods rely on workers visually inspecting the yarn margin to determine the timing of replacement; these methods fail to provide real-time data and cannot meet the precise scheduling requirements of modern production. The complex environmental conditions in textile workshops, combined with the cylindrical shape and repetitive textural features of yarn bobbins, limit the application of traditional visual solutions.

Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide, resulting in enormous socio-economic and personal consequences. Sensory profiles during the acute back pain stage will predict central sensitization symptoms in the chronic pain stage, as central sensitization is the main mechanism behind nociplastic pain and pain chronicity. Therefore, our objective was to establish overall and sex-specific sensory profile cut-off points that distinguish symptoms of central sensitization at 12 weeks, using a retrospective prognostic cohort study design.
