The acupuncture treatment scheme contains several key elements including acupoint selection and prescription, duration of needle retention, treatment frequency, needling manipulation technique, etc. which have, in precision degree, an important influence on the clinical efficacy, and their precise determination needs the guidance of the dose-effect relationship of acupuncture stimulation. In the present article, we discuss the basic concept and content of the dose-effect relationship of acupuncture and analyze its relationship with the precise treatment scheme. The precision and standardization of clinical treatment scheme of acupuncture are definitely not the negation of rich clinical experience, but rather, they are the transcendence of rich clinical experience. The dose-effect relationship of acupuncture is the rule that the acupuncture effect changes with the quantitative change of each key element, and its main contents include: the dose-effect relationship of acupoint prescription, the dose-effect relationship of needling manipulation, and the time-effect relationship of acupuncture.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgical resection is the current standard of care for oesophageal cancer (EC) patients. This treatment is associated with a variety of complications, with pneumonia being the most common. We hypothesize that proton radiotherapy (PRT) can significantly reduce the incidence of pneumonia compared to photon radiotherapy (PhRT).

Background And Purpose: Late toxicity is substantial after chemotherapy for anal cancer. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between radiation dose to lower urinary tract sub-structures and the risk of late urinary toxicities, in patients with anal cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy.
Materials And Methods: From 2015 to 2021, 314 patients with localized anal cancer were included in a national prospective registration study.

Fluorine is a strong oxidizing element and excessive intake can have harmful effects, particularly on the body's calcified tissues. Recent studies have demonstrated a link between miRNA and fluorosis. This study aimed to evaluate the time-dose-effect relationship of miR-200c-3p in plasma, urine and cartilage of rats with drinking water fluorosis, and to explore its potential as a biomarker.

Sulfur dioxide (SO) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant that has been shown to be toxic to the male reproductive system, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, the SO-treated mice and primary Leydig cell models were established to investigate the effects of SO on the production of testosterone and its specific mechanism. The results demonstrated that SO activated the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, leading to increased key proteins expression of testosterone biosynthesis and elevated testosterone levels.
