The Efficacy and Brain Network Mechanism of Acupuncture for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Study Protocol for Randomized Controlled Neuroimaging Trial by Sun YY, Wang ML, Zhao RH, Hao MY, Song S, Zhou Y, Zhang N

“…Forty healthy subjects will be recruited for observation, with a single MRI scan conducted only at baseline (− 1– 0 week). The primary efficacy indicator will be the change in NRS score after four weeks of treatment, with secondary outcomes including WOMAC, STAI, and safety assessments. fMRI observations will employ independent component analysis, brain network construction, and functional connectivity, complemented by Pearson correlation analysis to explore the relationship between brain responses and clinical improvements.Conclusion: This study will initially uncover how acupuncture intervention for chronic KOA pain centrally regulates and exerts therapeutic effects through the modulation of abnormal brain network functional connectivity patterns, with a demonstrated long-term effect.Ethics and Dissemination: This study has been approved by the ethics committee of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated Hospital ((2024) Lunshen No. (028) - KY).Clinical Trial Registration: This study has been approved by registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2400083695).Keywords: acupuncture, knee osteoarthritis, neuroimaging, RCT, protocol…”

Climate Change Risk, Performance, and Value Added in Agricultural Sector by Ramin Amani, Zanko Ghorbani, Zana Mozaffari

“…The study period spans from 2010 to 2020, and the quantile regression method is employed on panel data to conduct the analysis. Methodology The general definition of quantile regression states that if the linear regression model is assumed as the following equation, we have: yi=ˊxiβτ+uτi.  0<τ<1                                                                                 (1) Quantτ(yi|xi)=xiβτ                                                                                  (2) Equation (2) shows the τth conditional quantile function of the y distribution under the condition of random variables x in which the following condition holds: Quantτ(uτi|xi)=0                                                                                              (3) In the quantile regression structure, the effect of observable features on the conditional distribution is estimated through the process of minimizing the absolute value of the error element. …”
