The Heart Meridian of Hand-Shaoyin
The Heart Meridian of Hand-Shaoyin originates from the heart. Emerging it spreads over the “heart system”(1). It passes through the diaphragm to connect with the small intestine(2). The ascending portion of the meridian from the “heart system”(3) runs along side the esophagus (4) to connect with the “eye system”(5). The straight portion of the meridian from the “heart system” goes upward to the lung(6). It turns downward and emerges from the axilla (Jiquan, HT1) from there it goes along the posterior border of the medial aspect of the upper arm behind the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiying and the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueying (7) down to the cubital fossa (8). From there it descends along the posterior border of the medial aspect of the forearm to the pisiform region proximal to the palm (9) and enters the palm (10). Then it follows the medial aspect of the little finger to its tip (11) and links with the Small Intestine meridian of Hand-Taiyang.

Effects of moxibustion for COVID-19 convalescence A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still spreading around the world. Moxibustion, as a significant therapy in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has been widely used to treat COVID-19, especially in recovery period. The study will aim to assess the efficacy and safety of moxibustion for COVID-19 convalescence. Methods: We will systematically search the relevant randomized controlled trials in the 7 databases from inception to February 2021, including PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Clinical Trials Database, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. No language and publication status restrictions will be applied. Two reviewers will independently conduct and screen all included studies and the meta-analysis will be performed with RevMan V5.3 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, England). Results: The study will provide a high-quality convincing assessment of the efficacy and safety of moxibustion for the treatment of COVID-19 convalescence, which will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Conclusion: Our study will give more comprehensive evidence of the effectiveness of moxibustion for COVID-19 convalescence.
