“…The aged male adult had ~40% higher UPE intensity than the aged female adult [27]. The UPE of both male and female started to increase by the age of 11-14 and stabilize at ages around 50 [27]. These findings indicate that measuring UPE can potentially provide insight into the homeostatic state or systematic stage, as well as the harmonic correlation between the human body and the environment that is regarded fundamental to some alternative medical practices [31].…”

“…The UPE intensity was higher among males than among females, and higher in adults than in children. The aged male adult had ~40% higher UPE intensity than the aged female adult [27]. The UPE of both male and female started to increase by the age of 11-14 and stabilize at ages around 50 [27].…”

“…The male weight is assumed to be 40% greater than the female weight at the same age, leading to 40% stronger intensity of the physiological photo-genic source for male than female at otherwise identical setting of the parameters. A literature report showing the dependency of UPE photon count on age and the difference of UPE photon count between male and female is reproduced with permission from the publisher [27] as shown in Figure 5(A). In (A) there is a smaller down-ward solid-framed arrow pointing to an age group of 11-14 of both male and female, at which the UPE photon count started to increase noticeably.…”

“…Seasonal variation of UPE intensity [20,25,26] revealed as high as 4-folds of changes over year-long measurements with the lowest intensity in the autumn and the highest intensity appearing 6-months apart from the autumn. The UPE has also manifested gender and age-related variations [22,[27][28][29][30]. The UPE intensity was higher among males than among females, and higher in adults than in children.…”

On a Few Superficial Presentations of Ultra-Weak Photon Emission of Human: an Analytical Hypothesis

Ultra-weak photon emissions (UPEs) including those from human have been experimented for decades. The photo-genic origin of UPE has also been attributed to the oxidative stress or free radical production that is unique to metabolically active states of biological organisms. However, there are considerable gaps in quantitative understanding of UPE. In this work, I propose an analytical framework of hypothesis for the initial objective of modeling a few superficial presentations of UPE of human, including the systematic dependency on age, the diurnal variation, and the geometric asymmetry associated with serious asymmetrical pathological conditions. The hypothesis which is currently limited to human assumes a new form of energy state, termed vivo-nergy, which resides only in metabolically active organisms that are also under neuronal control. The hypothesis projects a decrease of the vivo-nergy in human during growth beyond puberty, with the rate of decrease dictated by a critical time-scale---the age of the first opposite-sex sexual intercourse (FOSSI). The hypothesis also proposes a modification of the vivo-nergy by the phases of systematic or homeostatic physiology. The hypothesis further postulates that the deviation of the physiology-modified vivo-nergy from the pre-puberty level is deteriorated by acquired organ-specific pathological conditions. Any reduction of vivo-nergy from the pre-puberty level is hypothesized to proportionally cause oxidative stress that functions as the physical source of UPE. The resulted steady-state diffusion of the photon emitted from a photo-genic source of UPE in a human geometry simplified as a homogeneous spherical domain is modeled by photon diffusion principles incorporating an extrapolated zero-boundary condition. The age and systematic physiology combined determines the intensity of the centered physiological photo-genic source. The acquired (single) pathology sets both the intensity and the off-center position of the (single) pathological photo-genic source. When the age-related, physiology-commanded, and pathology-controlled modifications of the photo-genetic sources are implemented in the photon diffusion model, the photon fluence rate at the surface of the simplified human-representing spherical domain reveals the dependency on age, the temporal variation corresponding to systematic physiology, and the geometric asymmetry associated with significant asymmetric pathological condition as reported previously for UPE. The hypothesis, as it provides analytical conveniences for quantitative estimation of UPE patterns, may be useful to further model-based interpretation of the spatial-temporal characteristics of UPE.

“…The use of acupuncture to treat a variety of conditions associated with disease has attracted the attention of scientists worldwide. In tradition, acupuncture is used to treat diseases caused by blockages of "Qi" and "Xue" [36], which leads to good therapeutic effect of acupuncture on pain [31], including cancer pain [37]. The physiological basis of the analgesic action of acupuncture has been investigated using modern science and technology, and the analgesic effects of acupuncture may attribute to the modulation of the 5-hydroxytryptamine signalling system, the adrenergic system and the N-methyl-d-aspartic acid/AMPA/kainate signalling system etc.…”

Background: Cancer is a complex systemic disease. As a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is a clinically proven medical treatment for many diseases, and it also has preventative effects as it balances the body, allowing it to self-regulate. For cancer patients, acupuncture is widely used as complementary therapy to boost the immune system and reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, few studies have determined how acupuncture against cancer, especially in regulating the intestinal flora of the tumor-burdened mice. Methods: We treated osteosarcoma tumor-burdened mice by using needling on different acupoints and acupoints combination, thereafter determined the effects of acupuncture on tumor growth by using imaging technology in vitro. In addition, intestinal bacteria were analyzed for further understanding the holistic and systemic treatment effects of acupuncture in osteosarcoma tumor-burdened mice. Results: Acupuncture treatment can delay tumor growth and changes of intestinal bacteria in osteosarcoma tumor-burdened mice. In detail, the loss of body weight and the development of tumor volume of mice have been postposed by needling specific acupoints. In addition, acupuncture treatment has delayed the changes of the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Candidatus Saccharibacteria at the phylum level. Moreover, the relative abundance of many bacteria (e.g., Catabacter, Acetatifactor and Aestuariispira) has been regulated by using acupuncture treatment, and the trend of structural changes of these bacteria at the genus level has also been postposed compared to that of the tumor-burdened mice model group. Conclusion: Our results suggest that acupuncture may provide a systemic treatment for cancer. Our findings encourage new and extensive research into the effects of acupuncture on changes of the intestinal microbiome associated with the development of cancer.
