Terapias complementares, como acupuntura e laser acupuntura, têm se destacado na prática médica devido as recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), uma vez que essas terapias apresentam efeitos orgânicos positivos. Objetivo comparar acupuntura e laser acupuntura nos acupontos E36 (Zusanli) e EX3 (Yintang) no perfil lipídico e glicêmico em ratos em jejum e sem jejum, bem como nos níveis séricos de cortisona. Ratos Wistar foram divididos em dois grupos (com jejum e sem jejum) e mantidos em biotério com ciclo claro-escuro (12-12 horas), temperatura controlada (22 ± 2 ° C) e livre acesso à água e comida. Os animais permaneceram no laboratório de bioquímica por um período de 1 h para aclimatação. Verificou-se que a laser acupuntura no grupo sem jejum houve aumento significativo nos níveis de colesterol total (CT, 32%) em relação ao controle e acupuntura, HDL-colesterol (HDL-c, 78%) e glicose (18%) apenas ao controle; no grupo com jejum  a terapia com laser acupuntura foi observado um aumento significativo no CT e no HDL-c (38 e 39%, respectivamente) e uma diminuição significativa nos níveis séricos de cortisol (30%), todos em relação ao controle. O presente estudo demonstrou respostas significativas com o tratamento a laser nos acupontos E36 (Zusanli) e EX3 (Yintang), quando comparados aos grupos acupuntura e controle. Os presentes achados reforçam a hipótese de que as terapias complementares têm efeitos significativos que podem beneficiar o paciente e devem, portanto, ser estimuladas sempre que possível.

A medium containing glucose-1-C14 as the sole carbon source was fermented by Aspergillus niger under conditions giving a steady rate of oxygen consumption and a good yield of citric acid (63%). The citric acid was isolated and degraded by chemical methods to determine the carbon-14 concentration of the methylene carbons, the tertiary carbon, the tertiary carboxyl carbon, and the primary carboxyl carbons. These were found to contain, respectively, 35.6, 21.2, 7.25, and 5.99% of the C14 concentration of carbon-1 of the glucose. A mathematical analysis of these data in the light of current theories on citric acid formation suggested following conclusions: (a) 37–40% of the total citric acid was formed from recycled C4-dicarboxylic acid, (b) 40% of the dicarboxylic acid was formed through C2,C2 condensation and 60% through C1,C3 condensation, (c) 78% of the glucose was dissimilated through the Embden–Meyerhof scheme, the remainder being dissimilated through a mechanism involving carboxyl labeled pyruvic acid.

Experiment 1 investigated oscillating vs fixed fans. Eight males were exposed to seven conditions in each of three temperatures (25.6, 27.8, and 30 C (78, 82, 86 F); all at 50% rh). The seven conditions were: still air, velocity of 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 m/s from a fixed fan, and mean velocity of 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 m/s from an oscillating fan. For equal comfort, for every increase of mean air velocity of 0.1 m/s (between 0.4 and 1.2 m/s), environmental temperature can be increased by .27 C for the oscillating fan and by 0.40 C for the fixed fan. At the same mean velocity, oscillating fans are voted more comfortable than fixed fans. Experiment 2 investigated the effect of a small directional axial-flow desk fan on comfort at 26.1 C (79 F). The 16 females tested fan off vs a 1.5 m/s flow on all six combinations of: torso vs face impact of air stream, and impact from straight ahead, 30° to the right, and 60° to the right. Angle was not significant. The use of the fan was equivalent to a decrease of air temperature of 0.63 C (i.e., 0.1 m/s = 0.042 C). Thus the personal desk fan can be used as a “fine tuner” in an acceptable environment. Those wearing glasses preferred air on the face, those wearing contacts preferred the torso; those wearing neither were divided. Thus fan placement should be left to the individual.
