There are the differences in the location of some acupoints between textbooks and . Both of the textbooks are in the category of the "14 Five-Year Plan". The differences in acupoint location have brought some confusion for students, full-time teachers and researchers in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. In the paper, based on GB/T 12346-2021： , published in2021, and in reference with GB/T 12346-2006： published in 2006, the discrepancy in the acupoint location was systematically collated in the aspects of the expression style and layout, text expression and potential difference of location between these two textbooks, published by China Press of Traditional Chinese Medicine, People's Medical Publishing House and China Science Publishing. Based on the historical evolution and the academic controversy of acupoint positioning, the reasons of the differences in acupoint location were analyzed, the potential influences on the teaching, examination, competition and research of Chinese medicine acupuncture were explored, and the suggestions for solution were proposed.

Does the outcome of acupuncture differ according to the location of sham needling points in acupuncture trials for migraine? A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Various acupuncture clinical trials have been conducted on migraine; however, the conclusions remain controversial especially when acupuncture was compared with sham acupuncture. Sham acupuncture is sometimes performed at the same acupuncture points used for verum acupuncture despite the evidence on acupuncture point specificity. Four databases were searched for sham acupuncture or waiting list-controlled acupuncture trials for migraine on December 25, 2023.

This article summarizes Professor 's key points and features of acupuncture for primary dysmenorrhea. Professor believes that the location of dysmenorrhea is in the uterus, and the fundamental pathogenesis is the disharmony of both form and spirit. During clinical treatment, he first conducts abdominal palpation, often detecting cord-like nodules around Guilai (ST 29), Huangshu (KI 16), and Zigong (EX-CA 1).

Introduction: Precise identification of acupuncture points (acupoints) is essential for effective treatment, but manual location by untrained individuals can often lack accuracy and consistency. This study proposes two approaches that use artificial intelligence (AI) specifically computer vision to automatically and accurately identify acupoints on the face and hand in real-time, enhancing both precision and accessibility in acupuncture practices.
Methods: The first approach applies a real-time landmark detection system to locate 38 specific acupoints on the face and hand by translating anatomical landmarks from image data into acupoint coordinates.
Molecular Design of n-Type Organic Semiconductors with Ultralow Electron Reorganization Energies.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers used density functional theory to show that small polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons containing odd-membered carbon rings can significantly reduce electron reorganization energies in n-type organic semiconductors.
- They examined 60 molecules, finding that those with 5- and 7-membered rings incorporated into linear or nonlinear structures achieved very low reorganization energies (as low as 65 meV).
- The study suggests that higher molecular aromaticity leads to lower energy levels and proposes specific areas ("acupoints") for modifications to enhance electron injection and stability without increasing reorganization energy.
[Clinical efficacy observation of heat-sensitive moxibustion combined with intrapleural perfusion of cisplatin in treatment of malignant pleural effusion].

Objectives: To investigate the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion combined with intrapleural perfusion of cisplatin in comparison with simple intrapleural perfusion of cisplatin on malignant pleural effusion (MPE).
Methods: Forty patients with MPE, in compliance with the inclusion criteria, were randomly divided into an observation group (20 cases) and a control group (20 cases). In the control group, cisplatin solution (60 mg/m) was injected into the thoracic cavity after pleural drainage under B-ultrasound positioning, once a week for 4 weeks.
