A
Acupuncture (针灸), a traditional Chinese medical practice originating over 4,000 years ago, has been proven an effective therapeutic (治疗的) tool and is 1 (global) practiced. 2 (base) on the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the concept that the body’s health depends on the proper flow of qi (vital energy) and a yin-yang balance. Acupuncturists use needles 3 (stimulate) nerve endings connecting to internal organs and systems, thus influencing biochemical processes and enhancing the immune system.
Acupuncture can treat 4 wide range of conditions, such as pain, digestive problems, infections, and anxiety, and can also serve as a therapy for sports injuries. It can 5 (combine) with other treatments like massage, yoga, and herbal medicine.
Under the care of an experienced doctor 6 has received long-term training and reached to specific levels, acupuncture is a safe therapeutic method. Although in rare cases patients may experience mild side 7 (effect) like brief pain, and bruising (擦伤) during treatment, it’s useful.
8 conclusion, acupuncture is a safe and effective medical practice which has been shown to have positive effects on the body’s natural healing systems. Although some aspects of acupuncture treatment lack 9 (science) evidence, growing research points to its true value. If you are looking for a natural, medical option, acupuncture may be worth 10 (consider) as a therapeutic tool.

Have you ever noticed that many athletes are covered in red round marks These marks may not be 11 (injury), but a result of an ancient healing practice called cupping therapy (拔罐疗法)。
Cupping therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that has existed for thousands of years. A 12 (universe) belief is that it can enhance blood flow and promote healing. The procedure begins with heating the air inside a cup. Once the cup is placed on the skin, cooling air inside creates 13 near-vacuum condition, pulling the skin and underlying tissues upward. This results in increased blood flow to the treated area, 14 red or purple marks may appear and last for several days.
Athletes are always looking for ways to improve 15 (perform) and speed up recovery. Cupping therapy has become a go-to solution for many, 16 (provide) several key benefits. It helps relieve muscle soreness and stiffness, because the increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients 17 the muscles. Athletes often use cupping therapy both to ease their pain and reduce inflammation especially when recovering from intense training.
Cupping therapy gained significant attention during the 2016 Olympics. Since then, the practice 18 (adopt) worldwide. Its popularity continues to grow as more athletes experience its benefits firsthand. While the scientific community remains 19 (divide) on its effectiveness, the evidence from top athletes speaks volumes. 20 it’s for pain relief, muscle recovery, or overall well-being, cupping therapy is making its mark in the world of sports.

I graduated from the Shanxi University of Chinese Medicine in 1994, and 21 (work) in orthopedics (骨科) for 26 years by the time I took part in 22 Chinese Medical Volunteers tour in Yushu, Qinghai province in August 2020.
Then, I used TCM approaches, such as acupuncture and 23 (herb) patches (贴片) on acupuncture points to treat a variety of health problems, including knee injuries, aching muscles and sharp pains. These conditions are 24 (primary) caused by the local people’s herding practices and the tough environment 25 they live, and are also associated with some of their unhealthy living habits.
TCM methods can only relieve the pain for a short time, and sometimes they are unable to address the fundamental causes. So, I suggested that Chinese Medical Volunteers perform surgeries locally 26 bring the patients to better developed regions for treatment. The plan came to fruition, and we successfully completed surgeries on 21 patients. One surgery had to 27 (cancel) because the patient had severe heart failure.
As the head of the surgical team, I was 28 a lot of pressure because we were responsible for ensuring the safety of every patient, 29 (rid) them of their pain and improving their quality of life. The goal of our action was not just to conduct surgeries, but also 30 (provide) local medical workers with hands - on training, so local villagers would still be able to access quality treatment conveniently after we left.

Locals who frequent a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Zhengzhou, in Central China’s Henan Province, are often surprised when they are treated by a German practitioner 31 (specialize) in cupping and acupuncture (针灸).
Joel Mikael Walker went to Henan Province in 2015, 32 he was twenty, because it is widely considered to be an important center for medical practice, education, and research for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Following a year of intensive Chinese language study, he 33 (admit) into the Henan University of Chinese Medicine, one of the 34 (early) of its kind in China. After an eight-year study journey, Walker, as a master’s student nearing graduation, has developed into a skilled practitioner. Now he is fully capable 35 practicing independently and he often uses ancient Chinese medical texts 36 (explain) the philosophy behind the treatments.
Walker has not only involved 37 (he) in TCM but has also researched into the culture of the region. He is now an online 38 (celebrate) on Chinese social media platforms with more than one million followers. He speaks fluent Henan dialect in front of the camera, 39 (commit) to promoting TCM and popularizing local customs and practices. “I hope to make every effort to spread the wisdom of TCM 40 Chinese culture, to those around me and people in the West,” said Walker.

Since 2016, North of Hope, an organization located in Alaska, has partnered with friends, family, and community members to provide women and men who are undergoing chemotherapy (化疗) 41 chemotherapy comfort bags. The project to deliver chemotherapy comfort bags to those 42 (suffer) from severe cancers started when a cancer patient received a similar bag from friends.
After undergoing two rounds of breast cancer 43 (treat), Teresa Koop, a local resident working as a salesperson in Alaska, knows 44 important a few comfort items can be while undergoing chemotherapy. 45 a friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, Teresa had the idea of putting together a chemotherapy comfort bag for her friend. 46 idea grew from there, and since 2016 over 50 such chemotherapy comfort bags 47 (deliver) to patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Each of those chemotherapy comfort bag contains comfort 48 (item) to help ease the physical discomfort of chemotherapy procedures. But more importantly, each bag offers a bit of 49 (emotion) comfort to the receivers.
Click on the yellow donate button at the bottom of our official website 50 (sponsor) a chemotherapy comfort bag, and be sure to write “Chemotherapy Comfort Bag” in the notes. Thank you for your sponsorship and your gift of comfort.

A traditional Chinese medicine has been shown to be effective at reducing complications following a heart attack after a large-scale, clinical trial.
The medicine, 51 (know) as tongxinluo, is made of extracts derived from seven herbs and various animals. The compound, 52 name means “to open the network of the heart”, has long been used 53 a traditional Chinese treatment for patients suffering heart attacks or strokes. This condition involves a blood clot that completely blocks a major vessel (血管) 54 (supply) the heart. The patients were treated within hours of symptom onset by surgical or chemical 55 (remove) of the clot. While they received standard treatments over the next year — such as taking a daily aspirin — half of the individuals were 56 (random) selected to receive tongxinluo as well. The other half 57 (give) a placebo — designed to match the look, smell and taste of the traditional Chinese medicine.
Over the next year, the patients were followed to track the incidence of MACCEs, 58 umbrella term that covers cardiac death, repeat heart attacks and strokes. The results showed that the incidence of MACCEs was around 30 percent 59 (low) in the group that took tongxinluo, compared with those participants taking the placebo. These benefits persisted for one year after discharge, and no major side effects were recorded, indicating that the medicine was safe 60 (use).

A fateful conversation inspired the creation of the First Aid Kit, which was released in 1888. Aboard a train heading to Colorado for vacation, company 61 (found) Robert Wood Johnson struck up a conversation 62 a doctor. The doctor explained to him the 63 (danger) of railroad construction and the lack of medical supplies 64 (treat) the unique industrial injuries that often occurred far away from hospital. From this exchange, Johnson saw 65 opportunity to both advance the field of healthcare and build 66 (he) young business. He grabbed the chance and from this-modern need, the commercial First Aid Kit was born.
However, Johnson’s scientific director knew that the kits were not enough. They desperately needed to include explanation and training. Since its founding, the company had prided itself on 67 (educate) the public, especially the elderly, and spreading methods of wound care. In 1901, the nation’s first 68 (commercial) available guide to first aid, The Hand Book of First Aid, 69 (publish). The guide reached beyond the railroad and medical industries, teaching people about basic emergency care, and showing readers 70 to save lives with their first aid skills.

When she was five years old, Lin Qiaozhi was 71 (deep) affected by her mother’s death. 72 the age of 18, she chose to work and study rather than follow the 73 (tradition) path of marriage. Eight years later, Lin graduated from Peking Union Med cal College (PUMC). She became the first woman 74 (hire) as a resident physician in the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital. Within six months, she was named a chief resident physician. After 75 (work) for a few years, she 76 (send) to study in Europe and then, in the US, 77 she greatly impressed her American colleagues and was invited to stay. 78 , she rejected the invitation. In 1941, Dr Lin became the first Chinese woman ever to be appointed director of the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital. After the department was closed, Dr Lin opened a private clinic to help people in need. Sometimes she was even seen riding a donkey to faraway villages to provide medical care. The new People’s Republic of China saw Dr Lin Qiaozhi playing 79 key role. In several decades, she held many important 80 (position). Although she never married, she was known as the “mother of ten thousand babies”.

China’s foreign medical aid workers now consist of 117 doctors 81 provide regular medical services for pregnant (怀孕的) women and babies overseas and help train local medical workers, the National Health Commission said on Monday.
Last year, Chinese medical aid teams delivered 63,800 newborns overseas, according to data 82 (release) by the commission during an event held in Beijing on this 83 (year) World Health Day.
The commission 84 (add) that China has carried out cooperation projects in the field of mother and child health with a number of countries and regions including Sierra Leone, Malawi, Zanzibar of Tanzania, Guinea-Bissau, Burundi, The Gambia and Cambodia.
The nation has also worked together with the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund to conduct training programs aimed 85 reducing mother and newborn death rates in Africa. So far,15 sessions of offline and online training activities 86 (carry) out.
Meanwhile, 87 reproductive medicine center has peen established in Mali with support from China. The facility delivered Mali’s 88 (one) test-tube baby born at a public hospital last year.
The nation has also helped build a screening center in South Sudan, serving 89 (near) 4,000 local women so far. In Sierra Leone, China’s medical aid team carried out screening programs 90 (target) human papillomavirus at local medical institutions.

Artemisinin, a transformative compound derived from the sweet wormwood plant, has revolutionized the treatment of malaria. Discovered by Chinese scientist Tu Youyou in the 1970s, artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone 91 (contain)a unique endoperoxide (内过氧化的) bridge, which is crucial for its antimalarial activity. Unlike traditional antimalarial drugs that rely on thermal energy to disrupt parasite function, artemisinin harnesses the power of its endoperoxide bridge to generate reactive oxygen species 92 destroy the malaria parasite.
The discovery of artemisinin was inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, 93 sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua) had been used for centuries to treat fever. Through a combination of solvent extraction and chromatography (色谱法), Tu Youyou and her team successfully isolated artemisinin, marking a significant breakthrough in the fight 94 malaria. The compound’s molecular structure, which includes asesquiterpene skeleton (倍半萜骨架) and an endoperoxide group, 95 (confirm) through spectroscopic (光谱) analysis and X-ray crystallography.
One of the 96 (remarkable) aspects of artemisinin is its mechanism of action. When activated by heme (血红素), a byproduct of hemoglobin digestion in malaria parasites, artemisinin generates free radicals that attack and damage the parasite’s cellular structures. This 97 (target) attack disrupts the parasite’s membrane and enzyme systems, ultimately leading to its death. The endoperoxide bridge is essential for this process, as altering this structural feature eliminates artemisinin’s antimalarial activity.
The synthesis of artemisinin has been a significant challenge due to its complex molecular structure. Traditional methods involve semi-synthesis, where artemisinic acid, extracted from sweet wormwood, is 98 (chemical) converted into artemisinin. Recent advances in synthetic biology (合成生物学) 99 (enable) the production of artemisinic acid in engineered yeast, significantly reducing production costs and increasing availability. This breakthrough, pioneered by Professor Jay Keasling’s team, has made artemisinin-based therapies more accessible to patients in malaria-endemic regions.
Artemisinin’s impact extends beyond malaria treatment. Research has shown that it exhibits anticancer properties, particularly against certain types of cancer cells. The compound’s ability to generate reactive oxygen species makes it effective in damaging cancer cell membranes and inhibiting tumor growth. Additionally, artemisinin derivatives 100 (explore) for their potential in treating autoimmune diseases such assystemic lupus erythematosus (系统性红斑狼疮), offering new avenues for therapeutic development.
Despite its remarkable success, challenges remain in the large-scale application of artemisinin. The emergence of drug-resistant malaria strains threatens the long-term effectiveness of artemisinin-based therapies. Ongoing research focuses on developing new derivatives and combination therapies to overcome resistance and ensure the continued efficacy of this life-saving compound.
