By reviewing the physical biological research on the activation of acupoint effects by acupuncture, this paper explains the activation mechanism from the perspective of the generation and transmission of mechanical signals caused by acupuncture, and reveals the physical-chemical coupling processes in the acupoint microenvironment. Future research should focus on locally mechanosensitive cells, further exploring how acupuncture mechanical signals trigger dynamic changes in cells and molecules in the acupoints, and the physical-chemical information transduction mechanism, which will provide scientific evidence for the acupoint activation during acupuncture. Related studies will contribute to a deeper understanding of the scientific principles behind acupuncture and promote its clinical application and development.

HBV/HCV dual infection is not uncommon, especially in highly endemic areas and among individuals at elevated risk of infection, because of the common transmission mode of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) and may be underestimated due to the presence of occult HBV infection. HBV/HCV dual infection is associated with more rapid progression to advanced severe liver disease, severely increased fibrosis or cirrhosis, liver decompensation, and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, thus requiring effective antiviral treatment. However, the intracellular interaction between HBV and HCV has not been fully elucidated at present. This paper summarizes the recent research on HBV/HCV dual infection and the current status of treatment and emphasizes the aspects that need further clarification in order to provide a basis for exploring treatment strategies for dual infection.
