Acupuncture①:magic needles
One of the most famous Chinese medical treatments is the art of “magic needles②”,or Chinese acupuncture.It was developed long ago,perhaps as early as 2000 BCE.There is evidence③ that acupuncture dates back to④ the Stone Age,when stone tools called bian were used to press areas of the body.

针刺疗法:神针
“神针”艺术,或称中国针刺疗法,是最著名的中医疗法之一。它发源于很久以前,也许早至公元前2000年。有证据表明针刺疗法可追溯到石器时代,当时一种叫作“砭”的石器被用来按压身体部位。
As acupuncture developed,the simple bian stones were replaced⑤ by stone needles.Eventually,metal needles began to appear and took the place of stone needles.These solid⑥ needles are made of different metals,such as gold and silver.Some acupuncturists today still use gold and silver needles,but the majority have now switched⑦ to stainless steel⑧ ones.In addition to the changes in material,the shapes of the needles have also changed over time.Originally,there were nine different kinds of needles,with variations⑨ in shape.Nowadays,the fine sharp needles that measure usually between 15 and 75 millimetres in length are still used,while most of the others have been replaced by more complex medical instruments⑩.

随着针刺疗法的发展,简单的砭石被石针所取代。最终,金属针开始出现并取代了石针。这些实心针是由金和银等不同的金属制成的。一些针灸师如今仍在使用金针和银针,但大多数现在已经改用不锈钢针了。除了材料的变化,针的形状也随着时间的推移而发生了改变。最初,有9种不同的针,其形状各不相同。如今,长度通常在15到75毫米之间的又细又长的针仍在被使用,而其他大多数针都已被更复杂的医疗器械所取代。
So what happens during a visit to the acupuncture clinic⑪?First,the acupuncturist examines⑫ the patient,looking at the patient's skin and tongue⑬,listening to the sound of his or her voice and breathing,and smelling his or her breath.Then the acupuncturist asks some questions about the patient's condition⑭ and feels his or her pulse⑮.This is a particularly important step according to the energy theory behind acupuncture.The acupuncturist can check the pulse in three positions on each wrist⑯,and every one of them is connected with a major body organ⑰.By checking all the positions,the acupuncturist can find out which energy channel does not have enough energy.

那么去针灸诊所的时候会发生什么呢?首先,针灸师会检查病人,看病人的皮肤和舌象,听他/她的声音和气息,还要闻他/她呼吸的味道。然后针灸师会问一些关于病情的问题,并为病人把脉。根据针刺疗法背后的能量理论,这是一个特别重要的步骤。针灸师可以在每个手腕的三个位置进行把脉,每个位置都与身体的一个主要器官相连。通过检查所有的位置,针灸师可以发现哪个能量通道没有足够的能量。
According to the results of the check-up,the acupuncturist then selects certain points on the body called acupuncture points.Needles are pushed into the skin at these points so that a health problem can be treated.Up to now,more than 360 acupuncture points have been identified,each linked to a different part of the body.Sometimes the needles are pushed into points near the body part affected by a disease 10,and sometimes into points that are not so close to it 11.

根据把脉结果,针灸针随后会在患者身体上选择一些被称作穴位的点。在这些穴位上扎针可以治疗健康问题。到目前为止,已有360多个针刺穴位被确认,每个穴位对应身体的一个不同部位。有时针扎的穴位靠近受疾病影响的身体部位,有时则不然。
Over the years,acupuncture has been used to treat a wide variety of health problems,including severe⑱ pains,blood pressure issues,stomach discomfort⑲,sports injuries and weight problems.And it has been used to treat more than just physical problems—acupuncturists have discovered that the treatment helps with mental problems like depression⑳ and anxiety㉑ too 12.Acupuncture has also been applied to treat people who abuse alcohol㉒,tobacco or drugs 13.

针刺疗法的实际工作原理尚不清楚。例如,有不同的理论试图解释针刺疗法如何减轻痛苦,但众说纷纭。解释这一现象的一种理论认为,针刺疗法阻止了疼痛信号到达大脑。另一种理论认为,针刺疗法让人体产生了一种能减轻疼痛的物质。
Despite the uncertainty about its medical basis㉖,acupuncture has become a popular form of treatment.As a unique contribution of traditional Chinese medicine,acupuncture spread to many other Asian countries,such as Japan,as early as the 6th century.It was introduced to the West around the 16th century.In 2010,acupuncture was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.Today,acupuncture is recognized as a symbol㉗ of traditional Chinese culture and has come into widespread㉘ use around the world.The World Health Organization recommends acupuncture as a good treatment for over 100 medical problems.While doubts about its safety have gradually disappeared,interest continues to grow.

尽管针刺疗法的医学基础还不确定,但它已经成为一种流行的治疗形式。针刺疗法为中国传统医学做出了独特贡献,传播到了许多其他亚洲国家,如早在6世纪的日本。针刺疗法在大约16世纪被引入西方。2010年,针刺疗法被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录。如今,针刺疗法被认为是中国传统文化的象征,在世界各地广泛使用。世界卫生组织推荐使用针刺疗法这种优良疗法来治疗100多种医学疾病。人们对针刺疗法安全性的怀疑逐渐减少,而对它的兴趣不断增加。

A rare genetic skin condition has been corrected for the first time using a gene therapy that is applied to the skin.
About 1 in 800,000 children in the US are born with a severe condition called recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (不良性大疱性表皮松解症 RDEB) that makes their skin extremely weak and likely to be torn and blister (长水疱).
“It is very painful,” says Vincenzo Mascoli, 22, who travelled from Italy to the US to have the gene therapy.He had open wounds all over his body, including one covering his entire back that had been there since he was 2 years old.“Sometimes I also get blisters in my eyes and have to keep my eyes closed, and sometimes I get blisters in my throat that make it difficult to eat,” he says.Mascoli and other people with the condition have weak skin because they have an improper version of a collagen (胶原) gene called COL7A1.That means their skin can't produce the collagen proteins needed to give it structure and strength.
Peter Marinkovich at Stanford University in California and his colleagues developed a way to insert normal COL7A1 genes into the skin of such individuals so they can start producing collagen properly.“All it does is go into the cell and deliver the gene,” says Marinkovich.
The gene therapy was then incorporated into a gel (凝胶) so it could be applied to the skin.It was tested in a late-stage clinical experiment in the US involving 31 children and adults with RDEB, including Mascoli.
The treatment was repeated weekly until the wounds closed.After three months, 71% of the wounds treated with the gene therapy had completely healed, compared with 20% of those who had the ineffective gel applied, and there were no serious side effects.
A US company called Krystal Biotech has partnered with Marinkovich and his colleagues to develop the gene therapy and will apply in the next few months for approval to make it available to more patients in the US.

The U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has approved a new class of hearing aid devices, which do not require a medical exam.That means Americans will be able to buy hearing aids later this year without seeing a doctor or receiving a medical examination.
The devices are designed for adults with mild to moderate hearing problems.The FDA estimates that the hearing aids could help nearly 30 million adults in the United States, but only about one-fifth of people with hearing problems use the devices currently.
“Today's action by the FDA represents a significant milestone in making hearing aids more cost-effective and accessible,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra told reporters on Tuesday.The FDA first proposed the rule change for hearing aids last year and the new rules will take effect in the middle of October.The move follows years of pressure from medical experts and others to make the devices less costly and easier to get.
However, cost is still a barrier right now.Americans can pay more than $5,000 for hearing aids, which is for the device itself and fitting services.Private insurance coverage is also limited for the devices.And government insurance for older people, known as Medicare, does not pay for them.Medicare only pays for hearing tests.
“The requirement to see a specialist was not only a burden and an annoyance for many consumers but also it actually created a competitive barrier to entry,” said Brian Deese, an economic adviser.Deese added that the government estimates that Americans could save as much as $2,800 for a set of hearing aids if they want to buy them.
But FDA officials noted that the savings will depend on when producers launch products and how much they cost.“It's very hard to predict exactly what we'll see and when,” said Dr.Jeffrey Shuren, the FDA's medical device chief.Shuren added officials expected to see increased competition from new producers and new products from existing hearing aid makers.
