Article Abstract
Background: The integration of new technologies into medical education is transforming the learning landscape, particularly in acupuncture education. The necessity for remote learning due to the pandemic has accelerated the development of digital tools, such as anatomical software, to replace traditional in-person classes. In response to these changes, Dongguk University in Korea has developed AcupointDG, a three-dimensional (3D) visualized anatomy model software designed to enhance the understanding of acupoints and their associated neurovascular musculature. This software provides a comprehensive view of the human body's anatomical structures related to acupuncture points and links to relevant research, aiding students in gaining a realistic and evidence-based understanding of acupuncture. The main features include detailed 3D anatomical representations and direct access to scientific literature through PubMed and Research Information Sharing Service (RISS).
Conclusions: The use of this software in the Acupoint and Practice class has resulted in significant educational outcomes, including student publications and presentations at international conferences. Future updates aim to further integrate research trends with anatomical visualization, enhancing the educational experience and professional development of acupuncture students.

Background: Current scoring systems for hypertriglyceridaemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) severity are few and lack reliability. The present work focused on screening predicting factors for HTG-SAP, then constructing and validating the visualization model of HTG-AP severity by combining relevant metabolic indexes.
Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2024, retrospective clinical information for HTG-AP inpatients from Weifang People's Hospital was examined.

Primate lateral intraparietal area (LIP) has been directly linked to perceptual categorization and decision-making. However, the intrinsic LIP circuitry that gives rise to the flexible generation of motor responses to sensory instruction remains unclear. Using retrograde tracers, we delineate two distinct operational compartments based on different intrinsic connectivity patterns of dorsal and ventral LIP.

Cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) provides 3D datasets of organelles and proteins at nanometer and sub-nanometer resolution. However, locating target proteins in live cells remains a significant challenge. Conventional labeling methods, such as fluorescent protein tagging and immunogold labeling, are unsuitable for small structures in vitrified samples at molecular resolution.

Background And Objectives: While reductions in optical coherence tomography (OCT) pRNFL and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thicknesses have been shown to be associated with brain atrophy in adult-onset MS (AOMS) cohorts, the relationship between OCT and brain MRI measures is less established in pediatric-onset MS (POMS). Our aim was to examine the associations of OCT measures with volumetric MRI in a cohort of patients with POMS to determine whether OCT measures reflect CNS neurodegeneration in this patient population, as is seen in AOMS cohorts.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with retrospective ascertainment of patients with POMS evaluated at a single center with expertise in POMS and neuro-ophthalmology.
