Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for obtaining a value of at least one vasodilation parameter representing the cutaneous local thermal hyperemia response of a subject. The temperature of a sampling site is raised from a first temperature to a second temperature and maintained for an initial heating period, and an initial maximum red blood cell flux (RBCF) of the sampling site and a mean arterial pressure of the subject is obtained. An initial maximum cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC1,max) is calculated by dividing the initial maximum RBCF by the mean arterial pressure. The CVC1, max or at least one other parameter derived therefrom is used as the vasodilation parameter.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of treating pain of a subject. The method is characterized in having the steps of providing treatments not directly onto a pain point, but onto at least one correlative treatment point, to reduce the pain of the subject.

Abstract: A connector for FPC board includes an insulating housing and a cover plate. The insulating housing has a receiving space for receiving an FPC board, a plurality of passageways, and two guiding channels. A plurality of terminals is received in the corresponding passageways. Each terminal has a contact portion and a pressing portion. The cover plate has two rotational shafts put into the corresponding guiding channels, whereby the two rotational shafts are rotatable in and slidable along the guiding channels. When the cover plate is rotated to a horizontal position, the rear end of the cover plate lies to the front of the pressing portions of the terminals. Then, when the rotational shafts together with the cover plate are horizontally slid from front to rear, the cover plate is inserted between the pressing portions and the FPC board, and the pressing portions press the cover plate against the FPC board, and the cover plate presses the FPC board against the contact portions of the terminals.
