BACKGROUND The stimulation of acupoints along the meridians, but not the non-acupoints outside of the meridians, produces analgesia. Although the acupoint is defined at the body surface, the exact location of the acupoints is not known. This study aims to examine whether the intensity and duration of the analgesic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at the Zusanli (ST36) and Sanynjiao acupoints (...

Our computations show that there is a total of 40 pairs degree six coprime polynomials f,g where f(x)=(x?1)6, g product cyclotomic polynomials, g(0)=1 and form primitive pair. The aim this article to determine whether the corresponding symplectic hypergeometric groups with maximally unipotent monodromy follow same dichotomy between arithmeticity thinness holds for 14 four f(x)=(x?1)4 as describ...

Although adult murine B cells can be stimulated to proliferate by Igm receptor cross-linking, we and others have shown that these cells will undergo apoptosis in vitro in a dose-, time- and temperature-dependent manner with polyclonal but not monoclonal anti-IgM, To test the role of c-myc and cell cycle progression in B cell apoptosis, we examined normal, Sp6 anti-TNP lg and E micro-myc transge...

Stress is a well-known entity and may be defined as a threat to the homeostasis of a being. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of acupuncture on the physiological responses induced by restraint stress. Acupuncture is an ancient therapeutic technique which is used in the treatment and prevention of diseases. Its proposed mechanisms of action are based on the principle of homeostasis....
