Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialEffects of acupoints TENS on heat pain threshold in normal subjects.
To delineate the influence of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on heat pain threshold and vibration threshold in human. ⋯ The effect of TENS on the acupoint is to reduce pain but not tactile (specifically vibration) sensibility.

The association analysis of FcepsilonRIbeta with allergic asthma in a Chinese population.
To investigate the link between the polymorphism of -109 and Glu237 in the high-affinity IgE receptor beta (FcepsilonRIbeta) gene and susceptibility to allergic asthma in a Chinese population. ⋯ These results suggest that the Gly237 variant of the FcepsilonRIbeta gene is involved in the development of allergic asthma. The -109C/T and Glu237Gly polymorphisms are two of the genetic factor identified thus far, which affect total plasma IgE levels of allergic asthma patients in a Chinese population.
