Zhang et al. （2014） performed a meta-analysis and conclud- ed that ＂early filiform needle acupuncture for poststroke depression can perfectly control depression：＇ In fact, the in- cluded meta-analysis might support the clinical effectiveness of filariform needle acupuncture for poststroke depression. However, there are several concerns. First, the hospital infection due to acupuncture manipulation with filiform is a big topic to be addressed. As Gang et al. （2012） noted, ＂aseptic technic principles aren＇t strictly followed; disinfection and isolation systems are unsound;展开更多

New researches support that sofosbuvir might be useful for the management of Zika virus infection. Based on the pharmacological activity, inhibiting the HCV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RdR p or NS5 protein), sofosbuvir is proposed for its effectiveness against Zika virus infection. Here, the authors used a mathematical modelling theoretical approach to predict the expected dosage of sofosbuvir for inhibiting Zika virus infection. Based on the modeling study, if sofosbuvir is assigned for management of Zika virus infection, doubled dosage of the present dosage for hepatitis C management is recommended.展开更多
