The paper explores the thoughts and manipulations of at "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions" for the treatment of acute pharyngitis based on "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions" in (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic). "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions" refer to the special acupoints of meridians, mostly located at the neck region. It is the "window" of the head and neck, acting on dispersing wind and regulating and blood by opening the "window". Acute pharyngitis is caused by the invasion of exogenous wind and heat to the throat or by re-attack of exogenous factors and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach. Pathogenic wind and heat is the chief causative factor. Based on the theory and location of "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions", the manipulations of , i.e. point-pressing, plucking and smoothing, are operated to open "" (door and window) of the head and face, combined by bleeding at the ear apex so that the path is opened for pathogen elimination. As a result, the pathogenic wind and heat are dispelled, movement is promoted and the throat is benefited.

Objective: This study aims to perform a meta-analysis that integrates multiple literature sources to evaluate the clinical efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) versus minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for treating lumbar degenerative diseases (LDD).
Methods: A systematic search was conducted across various databases, including CNKI, VIP, WANFANG DATA, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science, for clinical comparative studies on OLIF and MIS-TLIF for treating LDD, covering the time frame from the inception of the databases to September 2024. Following PRISMA guidelines, studies were screened, assessed, and data were extracted rigorously.

Automatic retinal layer segmentation in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is crucial for the diagnosis of ocular diseases. Currently, automatic retinal layer segmentation works well with normal OCT images. However, pigment epithelial detachment (PED) dramatically alters the retinal structure, causing blurred boundaries and partial disappearance of the Bruch's Membrane (BM), thus posing challenges to the segmentation.
