The practice of traditional Chinese non-pharmacological therapy has become a prevalent complementary and adjunctive approach. A mounting body of evidence suggests its efficacy in addressing KOA. Recent investigations have delved into its underlying mechanism, yielding some headway. Consequently, this comprehensive analysis seeks to encapsulate the clinical application and molecular mechanism of traditional Chinese non-pharmacological therapy in KOA treatment. The review reveals that various therapies, such as acupuncture, electroacupuncture, warm needle acupuncture, tuina, and acupotomy, primarily target localized knee components like cartilage, subchondral bone, and synovium. Moreover, their impact extends to the central nervous system and intestinal flora. More perfect experimental design and more comprehensive research remain a promising avenue in the future.Keywords: knee osteoarthritis, traditional Chinese non-pharmacological therapy, mechanism, acupuncture, tuina, acupotomy

Although Feynman integrals in general cannot be expressed as well-studied special functions, they can be calculated systematically and efficiently using the \texttt{AMFlow} method in combination with differential equations in the kinematic space. Therefore, it is constructive to define Feynman integrals as a new class of special functions (or transcedental numbers if there is no kinematic variable). Several crucial avenues for further exploration in this direction are outlined., Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, published version

It is a challenge to numerically solve nonlinear partial differential equations whose solution involves discontinuity. In the context of numerical simulators for multi-phase flow in porous media, there exists a long-standing issue known as Grid Orientation Effect (GOE), wherein different numerical solutions can be obtained when considering grids with different orientations under certain unfavorable conditions. Our perspective is that GOE arises due to numerical instability near displacement fronts, where spurious oscillations accompanied by sharp fronts, if not adequately suppressed, lead to GOE. To reduce or even eliminate GOE, we propose augmenting adaptive artificial viscosity when solving the saturation equation. It has been demonstrated that appropriate artificial viscosity can effectively reduce or even eliminate GOE. The proposed numerical method can be easily applied in practical engineering problems., Comment: 10 pages

We find that all Feynman integrals (FIs), having any number of loops, can be completely determined once linear relations between FIs are provided. Therefore, FIs computation is conceptually changed to a linear algebraic problem. Examples up to 5 loops are given to verify this observation. As a byproduct, we get a powerful method to calculate perturbative corrections in quantum field theory., Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, version to be published in PRL

We find surprisingly that all Feynman integrals (FIs), with any number of loops, can be determined without doing integration. The only needed information are linear relations between FIs. Therefore, FIs computation is conceptually changed to a linear algebraic problem. Examples up to 5 loops are given to verify our observation., Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure

We proposed a recipe to systematically calculate Feynman integrals containing linear propagators using the auxiliary mass flow method. The key of the recipe is to introduce a quadratic term for each linear propagator and then using differential equations to get rid of their effects. As an application, we calculated all master integrals of vacuum integrals containing a gauge link up to four loops, and we checked the results by nontrivial dimensional recurrence relations., Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, published version

The J/Psi cross section ratios of p-A/p-p under different collision energy is calculated with cold nuclear matter effects redefined in this paper. The advantage of these new definitions is that all cold nuclear matter effects have clear physical origins.The radios are compared with the corresponding experiment data and that calculated with classic nuclear effects. The ratios calculated with new definitions can reproduce almost all existing J/Psi measurements in p-A collisions more accuratly than that calculated with classic nuclear effects. Hence, this paper presents a new approach to explain cold nuclear effects in the hardproduction of quarkonium., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1209.6030 by other authors

Cold as ice: Inspired by a computational discovery, aqueous-valve-equipped nanocontainers fabricated from fine pieces of ice and single-walled carbon nanotubes enable the storage and release of pressurized hydrogen. Hydrogen at 1 GPa locked in these nanocontainers already corresponds to a weight storage efficiency of approximately 9 %, close to the 2015 target from the US Department of Energy.
