The effect of acupuncture and selection of acupoints on myelosuppression after chemotherapy
2022 Jan TMR Non-Drug Therapy Wang XZ, Zhang XY, Zhang YN, Xia L
Acupuncture significantly inhibited the decline in blood cell components (white blood cell count, platelet count, red blood cell count, and hemoglobin) except for neutrophils in patients with myelosuppression after chemotherapy. Acupoints, mainly from the bladder meridian, stomach meridian, and spleen meridian, were distributed in the limbs and back. Specific points such as ST36 and SP6 were frequently used, with ST36-SP6-RN6-SP10-RN4 identified as a central combination in acupuncture prescriptions for this population.

Randomised Controlled Trial Haemoglobin Iron Deficiency Pomegranate
In the methodology of this study, ten healthy subjects (five males and five females averaging 31.8 years of age and weighing an average of 66.2 kg) were split into two groups. One group drank 500 ml of pomegranate juice every day for 14 days, while the other did not. Blood samples were taken from the subjects before and after the experimental period to measure various health markers.
In the discussion of results, it was observed that pomegranate juice intake led to a substantial rise in red blood cell count, hemoglobin levels, and hematocrit levels. However, other complete blood count parameters, and levels of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and C-reactive protein remained largely unaffected after the juice consumption. This suggests that pomegranate juice only had a substantial effect on increasing erythropoiesis or decreasing degradation in healthy individuals.
Review Articles
Review articles summarise and critically evaluate the current state of research on a specific topic or field by synthesising multiple primary research studies.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that involve people and are conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments or interventions, such as drugs, medical devices, or behavioural therapies.
