Modern medicine tells us that the human body is an organism composed of heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, stomach, brain, nerves, muscles, bones, blood vessels, blood and so on, while traditional Chinese medicine believes that besides these tissues and organs, the human body still has another part of the structure, traditional Chinese medicine calls them Jing Luo and Shu Xue. Jing Luo means the longitudinal line of the human body and the accompanying net, translated into English Meridians and Collaterals. Shu Xue means holes distributed on Jing Luo and outside Jing Luo, because stimulating Shu Xue's position by acupuncture, massage and other methods can cure diseases, so Shu Xue is translated into English acupuncture point, abbreviated as acupoint or point. Meridians and acupoints are the special knowledge of human body structure in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine not only draws the distribution map of the meridians and acupoints in the human body, but also has been using them to treat diseases for thousands of years. There are hundreds of these acupoints, stimulating each one by acupuncture, massage or other methods will have a special effect on the human body and can treat various diseases. But what effect does stimulating every acupoint have on the human body so that it can treat various diseases? The discussion of traditional Chinese medicine is vague and incomprehensible, and can not be proved by experiments. According to the author's research for more than 30 years, this paper makes a clear and accurate exposition of the effects on the human body and diseases that can be treated with acupoint massage. These statements can be proved by experiments, so they are believed to be reliable. It is hoped that meridians, acupoints and massage therapy can be incorporated into modern medicine and become a part of modern medicine after being proved by others through experiments. Massaging acupoints can not only treat many diseases that are difficult to be treated with drugs, but also have simple methods and low cost.

Variant anatomy, which is an integral part of anatomical science, is related to abnormalities in the human body structure. Our understanding of variant anatomy is based on thousand years of anatomical experience. These abnormalities generally do not interfere with the function of the human body and do not typically manifest as pathological nosological units. However, under certain conditions, these abnormalities can worsen existing pathological states or even evoke new ones. Understanding variant anatomy is a basic skill not only of mere anatomists, but also of clinicians who work in fields involving both diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions. To gain and retain a good knowledge of the most frequent and clinically relevant anatomical variations, a simple, clear, and exactly defined nomenclature of variant structures is needed. A list of items comprising variant anatomy, which have been incorporated into the internationally accepted nomenclatures Terminologia Anatomica (1998) and Terminologia Neuroanatomica (2017), is described and analyzed. Examples of the most common anatomical variations related to terminology are mentioned, and variant anatomy as a whole and its role in understanding current anatomy are discussed.


Human body structure is very complex, which contains various sub-components and makes it a complicated system. There are various activities performed by humans which involves both mental and physiological activities. Additionally, to monitor human health conditions various waves are examined like brainwaves, heart waves and others, which are highly useful in clinical scrutiny. Likewise, there exists an organized field of energy associated with every individual, termed as human biofield. This human biofield comprises of pre-eminent information about one’s health and psychological state. Moreover, several studies manifested the evidences of its existence and its benefits clinically together with numerous alliances. This augments the importance of this field and reveals diversified applications in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) for humans. Contrary to other biological signals for instance ECG, EEG and other, biofield still is not being mapped i.e. no measurement techniques are available for calculating the impact of Biofield in diagnosis and therapy, due to the uneven characteristics of biofield. This research article deals with the description of hitherto journey of biofield, including its concepts, imaging and applications. Further, this paper also imparts the need of Artificial intelligence stating new opportunities and challenges associated with it. Particularly, this paper highlights the futuristic applications of biofield integrated with Artificial Intelligence

Medical applications in nanotechnology are the most important applications and the most promising ever. Scientists in the nanotechnology field are innovating new techniques and instruments measured in nanometer scale. Nanotechnology has contributed in recent years to the development of the smart device industry, mechanical engineering and bioengineering. Medical specialists count on nanotechnology to make nanomachines or nanorobots that can compensate for the traditional ways of preventing, diagnosing and treating the spread of diseases by injecting or swallowing tiny blood robots to perform complex tasks within the human body, such as delivering drugs to specific organs Imaging of cells or treatment of blood clots, tumors and surgery on nanometers. The aim of this descriptive minireview, generally, is to shed light on the main Applications of Nanoparticles in Medicine .
