Abstract:
During acupuncture treatments, acupuncture needles are manipulated to elicit the characteristic “de qi” reaction widely viewed as essential to acupuncture's therapeutic effect. De qi has a biomechanical component, “needle grasp,” which we have quantified by measuring the force necessary to pull an acupuncture needle out of the skin (pullout force) in 60 human subjects. We hypothesized that pullout force is greater with both bidirectional needle rotation (BI) and unidirectional rotation (UNI) than no rotation (NO). Acupuncture needles were inserted, manipulated, and pulled out by using a computer-controlled acupuncture needling instrument at eight acupuncture points and eight control points. We found 167 and 52% increases in mean pullout force with UNI and BI, respectively, compared with NO (repeated-measures ANOVA, P < 0.001). Pullout force was on average 18% greater at acupuncture points than at control points ( P < 0.001). Needle grasp is therefore a measurable biomechanical phenomenon associated with acupuncture needle manipulation.

Abstract:
Acupuncture, a method of traditional Chinese medicine that uses Back-Shu and Huatuo-Jiaji points, is especially effective for treating diseases of the visceral organs. Applying acupuncture on Back-Shu points affects visceral organs in many ways. For example, it dilates the bronchus, affects the heartbeat, stomach motility, urinary bladder contractions and so on. Acupuncture's effects can be explained as viscero-cutaneous, cutaneo-visceral, cutaneo-muscular, and viscero-muscular reflexes. Segmental dispersion of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems is related to the location of Back-Shu points. Changes in visceral organs caused by application of acupuncture can be explained as modulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

Abstract:
Acupuncture has been practiced widely for treating different medical conditions. The basis of the acupuncture method is the doctrine of acupuncture points, one of the features of which is their unique electrical properties on the measurement of which the methods of electropuncture diagnostics are based. The purpose of the study was to explore the possibilities of a medicament testing technique for determining daily doses of the antiviral drug Sofosbuvir and comparing the tested daily doses of Sofosbuvir with the level of viral load in the blood of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Medicament testing of Sofosbuvir was performed on two points of point of acupunctures. This pilot study included 61 patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Electrodermal measurement points of acupuncture of Liver meridian and EAV Circulation meridian and the correlation between tested doses of Sofosbuvir and viral load in the patients’ blood were analyzed. The points of acupuncture of Liver and EAV Circulation meridians demonstrated the possibility to apply them as measuring points to determine daily doses of Sofosbuvir. Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection showed a significant positive correlation between tested daily doses of Sofosbuvir and viral load, which was gradually lost with an increase in viral load. The mean values of the tested doses of Sofosbuvir did not vary in different PA and significantly differed depending on viral load. This study showed that points of acupuncture serve as a diagnostic window in a process of medicament testing and can help to determine the daily doses of the antiviral drugs and also serve as an indirect method for assessing the level of viral load in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. There is the correlation between the tested doses of Sofosbuvir and viral load levels in these patients.

Abstract:
Acupuncture is a centuries-old traditional therapy that is used to treat a litany of diseases and conditions. Acupuncture is performed by inserting fine needles into specific locations defined in ancient times — acupressure is similarly applied at these points by tissue palpation without needle insertion. Manipulating these acupuncture points is believed to regulate the flow of energy or ‘qi’ through acupuncture meridians to produce specific, far-reaching results. Though no scientific correlate to ‘qi’ has been identified, acupuncture has indeed been demonstrated to be clinically effective for nausea [1] and osteoarthritic pain [2], and suggested for addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma [1]. Despite this evidence, no scientific basis for the location of acupuncture points has been found.

Abstract:
Traditional acupuncture therapy involves inserting needles at acupuncture points across the body and twisting them, which winds soft tissues around the acupuncture needle. In order to better understand this phenomenon Julias et al [1, 2] conducted in vitro acupuncture needling on collagen gels as a soft tissue analog. Using polarized light microscopy (PLM) (Fig. 1) they observed changes in collagen alignment and measured the torque developed on the needle during twisting. While these results are insightful, what remains unknown are the forces transmitted to the tissue surrounding the acupuncture point via the needle. Computational modeling allows us to calculate these forces, which could never be measured experimentally.

Abstract:
Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners stimulate specific points on the body. Those points, called acupuncture points (or acupoints), anatomically define areas on the skin relative to specific landmarks on the body. However, mapping the acupoints to individuals could be challenging for inexperienced acupuncturists. In this project, we proposed a system to localize and visualize facial acupoints for individuals in an augmented reality (AR) context. This system combines a face alignment model and a hair segmentation model to provide dense reference points for acupoints localization in real-time (60FPS). The localization process takes the proportional bone (B-cun or skeletal) measurement method, which is commonly operated by specialists; however, in the real practice, operators sometimes find it inaccurate due to the skillrelated error. With this system, users, even without any skills, can locate the facial acupoints as a part of the self-training or self-treatment process.

Abstract:
In traditional acupuncture, fine needles are inserted and rotated at specific locations on the body that correspond to specific therapeutic effects, which can occur locally or at a distance from the needling point. The majority of acupuncture points co-align with fascial planes under the skin, which present more subcutaneous connective tissue [1] (Fig 1). Needle insertion and rotation induces this connective tissue to couple to and wind around the needle, forming a whorl of alignment and generating measurable force on the needle that is significantly higher at fascial planes in comparison to insertion above a muscle [2, 3]. However, the effects of the varying tissue anatomy at fascial planes on fiber winding are not known. At these planes, the tissue is bounded on two sides by skeletal muscle and generally becomes narrower with increasing depth, presenting distinct boundary conditions compared to locations above a muscle, which resembles an infinite plane.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This study will provide evidence-based references for the efficacy of different acupuncture interventions time-point in the treatment of post-stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI). 1. Types of studies. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture for PSCI will be recruited. Additionally, Studies should be available in full papers as well as peer-reviewed and the original data should be clear and adequate. 2. Types of participants. All adults with a recent or previous history of ischaemic or hemorrhagic stroke and diagnosed according to clearly defined or internationally recognized diagnostic criteria, regardless of nationality, race, sex, age, or educational background. 3. Types of interventions and controls. The control group takes non-acupuncture treatment, including conventional rehabilitation or in combination with symptomatic support therapy. The experimental group should be treated with acupuncture on basis of the control group. 4. Types of outcomes. The primary outcomes are measured with The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and/or The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), which have been widely used to evaluate cognitive abilities.
