In addition to the regular sections dealing with molecular spectroscopy. MS. NMR. IR/UV, Raman and ESR. a special section is devoted to structure elucidation work. where applications of artificial intelligence for chemical interference are welcome. Papers dealing with methods and developments (e.g.. the description of a new interface of LC/MS or GC/IR) will also be considered. ~~ ~- ---~ (92001 lOS Press.

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been successfully used in this study to objectify cerebral alterations in oxYhemoglobin and desoxyhemoglobin, due to manual needle acupuncture and laserneedle acupuncture. in 88 healthy volunteers mean age 25.7 ::I: 4.0 (x ::I: SD) yeal.s (19-38 years). Results from Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, Korean and Chinese hand acupuncture, ear acupuncture, combinations of the different acupuncture methods and placebo needling are prcsented. NIRS seems to bc able to shed somc light upon the functioning of the ditIcrcnt acupuncturc methods.
