    Abstract Abstract Background Numerous randomized trials involving acupuncture treatment for cervicogenic headache (CEH) have been conducted in recent years, but the evidence for its effectiveness is not clear. Hence, we designed a randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy and advantages of acupuncture for treating CEH. Design This is a parallel-design, two-arm, patient-assessor blinded, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial. A total of 166 patients with CEH aged from 18 to 70 will be recruited and assigned randomly into a jin acupuncture group and a pseudo acupuncture group at a 1:1 ratio; they will receive 12 sessions of real acupuncture and sham acupuncture for 4 weeks, respectively, during the study. The primary outcomes are pain degree (PD) and pain rate (PR) calculated by the PainVision analyzer, as well as parameters detected by surface electromyography (SEMG). The secondary outcomes will be measured with the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), range of motion (ROM) of the neck, the Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ), the 36-item short-form Health Survey (SF-36), the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Clinical assessments will be evaluated at baseline and in the fourth week as well as in the eighth and sixteenth weeks. Adverse events will be noted and recorded for the safety evaluation. Discussion This study will provide high-quality evidence of the value of acupuncture based on jin theory for treating CEH. Trial registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR1800015316.

    Abstract Toutianliang manipulation is the most representative compound needling technique of traditional reinforcing and reducing and has the remarkable efficacy on heat syndrome with muscle and bone involved for example. Professor ZHANG Jin is one of the famous acupuncture master in China and has contributed his lifelong to the research of acupuncture manipulation techniques. He has summarized 24 single-type manipulations and has given the comprehensive explanation of the manipulations for meridian conduction, reinforcing or reducing techniques for the excess or deficiency. In the paper, Toutianliang manipulation was introduced briefly and the key operation steps had been discussed.

    Abstract River valleys are critical water-gas-rock interactions zone, where close interaction between fluvial and aeolian deposition are a pronounced feature in arid, semi-arid, and semi-humid environments. Pedo-sedimentological investigations were carried out in the Jin-Shaan Gorges of the Yellow River valley. Two late-Pleistocene and Holocene aeolian sand-loess profiles were identified within the cliff riverbank. The aim of this study is to reveal the palaeoclimatic conditions and driving factors for the formation of palaeo-aeolian sand in the Jin-Shaan Gorges of the Yellow River valley. Five samples were taken from the aeolian sand-loess profiles for optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. The OSL ages are in stratigraphic order and range from 12.8 ± 0.7 ka to 11.8 ± 1.0 ka. By combining OSL ages with additional stratigraphic correlations, the deposition period of the palaeo-aeolian sand is dated to 12.5–11.8 ka, which would place it at the Younger Dryas (YD) time interval that punctuated the last glacial-Holocene transition period. The formation of palaeo-aeolian sand in the region was due to sufficient sediment supply from the riverbed sand of the Yellow River, strong East Asian winter monsoon, and strong wind erosion. These results give insights into the palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental conditions for the formation of aeolian sand associated with the river valleys in semi-arid and sub-humid regions.

    Abstract Rapid urbanization drives the expansion of urban power girds, which involves enormous energy intensive products such as steel and concrete and inevitably results in a great quantity of carbon emissions. However, little has been done to investigate urban power girds' impact on carbon emissions. To solve this problem, this study makes efforts to calculate the carbon emissions of urban power grid in Jing-Jin-Ji region, one of the most populous and economically dynamic regions in China, in light of the hybrid method. Moreover, the depreciation life of urban power grids is taken into consideration for the first time, which avoids the underestimation of the accumulated carbon emissions of urban power grid due to depreciation. The results show that the accumulated carbon emissions of urban power grid in Jing-Jin-Ji region are 2.71E+06 t CO2 eq. in 1993. When it comes to 2014, this figure increases by over 7.2 times. The majority of the carbon emissions by typical urban substations and transmission line projects are contributed by electrical equipment, steel and construction industries. 4 scenarios are set to predict the future carbon emissions by power grids in Jing-Jin-Ji region. The highest accumulated carbon emissions in 2020 are projected to be 7.63E+07 t CO2 eq. under the condition shortest depreciation life (SDL) in the First Year Finished (FYF) scenario. Regression analysis is also carried out to show some influential factors such GDP's influence on power grids' carbon emissions, suggesting that the correlation between carbon emissions and regional economic development becomes more significant after Power System Reform Plan in 2002. This study not only draws a holistic picture of power grid but also bears significance to policies and actions in urban regions.

    Abstract Invertible neural networks (INNs) represent an important class of deep neural network architectures that have been widely used in applications. The universal approximation properties of INNs have been established recently. However, the approximation rate of INNs is largely missing. In this work, we provide an analysis of the capacity of a class of coupling-based INNs to approximate bi-Lipschitz continuous mappings on a compact domain, and the result shows that it can well approximate both forward and inverse maps simultaneously. Furthermore, we develop an approach for approximating bi-Lipschitz maps on infinite-dimensional spaces that simultaneously approximate the forward and inverse maps, by combining model reduction with principal component analysis and INNs for approximating the reduced map, and we analyze the overall approximation error of the approach. Preliminary numerical results show the feasibility of the approach for approximating the solution operator for parameterized second-order elliptic problems.

    Abstract Introduction: Atelectasis typically denotes the partial or complete collapse of lung segments, lobes, or lobules in individuals, leading to a compromised respiratory function. The prevalence of perioperative atelectasis may be significantly underestimated, particularly among patients subjected to general anesthesia.
    Patient concerns: This article conducts a retrospective analysis of a case involving refractory hypoxemia in a patient with a liver tumor who was admitted to Yanbian University Affiliated Hospital (Yanbian Hospital) after undergoing mild-to-moderate sedation and analgesia outside the operating room.
    Diagnosis: Based on the results of CT examination and present history, the patient was diagnosed with intraoperative atelectasis.
    Intervention: After the surgery, the patient was transferred to the recovery ward, where nasal oxygen therapy and nebulized inhalation treatment were administered. Vital signs were closely monitored at the bedside, gradually returning to the preoperative baseline.
    Outcome: Postoperatively, the patient developed atelectasis, with the percentage of lung opacity shown in the image decreasing from 9.2% of the total thoracic cage area to 8.4%.
    Conclusion: During non-intubated intravenous anesthesia, patients with compromised pulmonary conditions are more susceptible to refractory hypoxemia. Therefore, a personalized approach should be adopted regarding oxygen concentration and the dosage and type of medication. Additionally, preparations for appropriate airway management measures are essential to safeguard patient safety in the event of respiratory issues.
