摘要:In this study the changes of nervous functional defects and cerebral infarcted areas were investigated by neurological examination and CT imaging on patients with acute cerebral infarction. The data show that the number of the patients with reduced nervous functional defects and cerebral infarcted areas after treatment in acupuncture + drugs group was more than that of drugs getup. It proved the curative effect of acupuncture on the acute cerebral infarction.
摘要:In this paper the clinical efficacies of HANS combined with PCB and HANS alone applicated for anesthesia in thyroid operation were observed in 80 cases. They were divided into two groups,group A (40 cases), using HANS and PCB; group B(40 cases), using HANS alone. Results: ①The satisfactory rate of anesthesia of group A was 93%, while group B was 75 %, the difference was significant(P < 0. 05 ). ②The changes of patients' HR, MAP, SpO_2 at 15 minutes before and after operation: In group A, HR, SpO_2 decreased after operation, which were more lower than that of preparation (P < 0. 01 ). MAP was also decreased significantly(p<0. 05). In group B,HR increased somewhat, but the difference was not marked(p >0. 05). MAP decreased, the difference was significant (P< 0. 05). SpoO_a2 decreased was significant (P < 0. 01 ). In group A, HR, MAP and SpO_2 decreased significantly after operation as compared with those in group B(P < 0. 01 ).
摘要:151 patients with ulcerative colitis were divided randomly into herbal cake-separated moxibustion group Ⅰ (65 cases), herbal cake-separated moxibustion group Ⅱ (56 cases)and drug group (30 cases)as a control. A good clinical result was obtained. The short-term curative rate was 53. 8 per cent in herbal cake-separated moxibustion group Ⅰ,50. 0 per cent in herbal cake-separated moxibustion group Ⅱ and 30. 0 per cent in drug group. The effective mechanism of treatment may be relevant to depressing or eliminating the antigenic expression of HLA-DR in colonic epithelial cell, increasing the amount of T_8+ cells, correcting the proportion of the subgroups of T lymphocyte, and resulting in the improvement of the injured intestinal mucosa.
摘要:The patients with leukopenia caused by chemotherapy were treated with acupuncture and moxibustion. Before and after treatment, the WBC of peripheral blood was counted with routine examination. Besides, the activity of serum colony stimulating factor (CSF) was detected with cell culture. It is proved that acupuncture and moxibustion have the confirmed effect on leukopenia. One of the mechanisms is that acupuncture and moxibustion can improve CSF activity. In addition, the results indicate that CSF activity is regulated by WBC negative feedback.
摘要:Orphanin FQ(OFQ) is a newly discovered endogenous opioid-like peptide, and its role in pain modulation and acupuncture analgesia remains to be elucidated. The present study was designed to observe the effect of intracerebroventricular injection of OFQ on pain behavior and electroacupuncture (EA)analgesia in rat formalin test. The results showed that small dose of OFQ(0.1μg and 0. 5μg)had no effect on formalin-induced inflammatory pain. while 1μg OFQ could potentiate it. When OFQ was injected after EA,OFQ at both doses(0. 1μg and 0. 5μg) could decrease the effect of EA. The results suggested that OFQ could antagonize the analgesic effect of EA in inflammatory state.
摘要:65 nociceptive neurones in the PAG of 55 male SD rats were recorded by glass microprobe tech- nique. The effects of angiotensin Ⅱ (AII) on the electrical activity of nociceptive neurones in PAG and on the antinociceptive effect of morphine were observed. The results are as follows: (1)The injection of AII (50ng/5μl.1μg/5μ1. 2 μg /5μl, i. c. v. ) produced striking excitatory effect both on nociceptive dis- charges and spontaneous discharges of PEN in PAG; (2) In 9 pain inhibitory neurones(PIN), the elec- trical activity of & units was inhibited after the i. c. v. injection of All, and the electrical activity of 1 unit kept unchanged; (3) I. C. V. injection of AII(50ng, 2μg/5μl)partly reversed the inhibitory effect of morphine (i. p., 2. 5mg/kg weight) on the PEN in. PAG. The above results suggest that modula- tion of AII on the transmission of nociceptive messages and antagonism on the antinociceptive function of morphine may be completed by facilitating PEN and inhibiting PIN in PAG.
摘要:The effects of electrical stimulation of the tip of rat's forepaw's digit 3 (equivalent to the Shixuan acupoint) on skin representations in primary sensorimotor cortex were studied. The conical representations of digit 2, 3,4 tips were measured before and after stimulation. The results showed that stimulation of digit 3 caused no significant change in representations of tips of digit 2 and 4, but the representation of tip of digit 3 expanded significantly (P < 0. 02). This suggests that electrical stimulation of body Skin has effect of the organization of primary sensorimotor cortex (SmI) and expands the rep- resentation of the stimulated skin area. The mechanism of conical pasticity was discussed. One of the suggested reasons for representation expansion is that the subthreshold responses of neurons in the expanded area may be altered and/or elevated to supra-threshold firing level.
摘要:In order to analyse the mechanism of acupuncture effect on hearing, the effect of electroacupuncture on MLR(middle latency response)was observed in the present study by means of electrical physiological methods in anaesthetized guinea pigs. The recovery time of evoked response was used to indicate the excitability of the auditory cortex in the experiments. Electroacupuncture of different points had different effects on the excitability of the auditory cortex. Electroacupuncture of points on ear area and foreleg mainly induced excitation of the auditory cortex, while points on hind limb mainly inhibition.
摘要:On the basis of dichotomizing projection of the peripheral processes of the spinal ganglion cells to both the intercostal nerves and viscera(such as stomach and so on) in rats, the evoked potential was recorded from the ipsilateral greater splanchnic nerve after electrostimulating the left T_(10) intercostal nerve, the roots of which had been cut. Result: the complex action potential, the mean conduction velocity of which was 12. 40m/sec, was recorded, the result was not influenced by paralysis of respiratory muscles, but lost after anesthesia of the intercostal nerve or greater splanchnic nerve. These findings suggest that neural impulse can conduct from the somatic branches, which go through the intercostal nerve, of the peripheral process of the spinal ganglion cells to the visceral ones, which pass through the greater splanchnic nerve, these branches are mainly A-a fibers.
摘要:The lung function of adrenalectomized (ADX ) rats with asthma was observed after acupuncture, the ADX rats and restrained ADX rats with asthma and without acupuncture were used as two control groups. The results showed that the airway resistance was obviously decreased and pulmonary compliance was significantly increased in the acupunctured group 88 compared with the two control groups without acupuncture. This suggested that the acupuncture treatment of asthma in ADX rats had no direct relation to adrenalcorticosteroid.

摘要:The mechanism of electroacupuncture treatment for experimental gastric ulcer was studied. Results indicated that: (1) Although the content of hydroxyproline(Hyp) of ulcer group and ulcer plus electroacupuncture group was increased, especially in the former as compared with the normal group, there was no difference(P >0. 05 )between them. (2 ) Electroacupuncture could make the content of 6 - keto-PGF1a increase and thromboxane(TXB_2 ) decrease in the pathological condition of gastric mucosa, there were statistical significances compared with the normal and ulcer control groups (P < 0. 01 ). (3)The content of superoxide dismutase (SOD) of electroacupuncture group was significantly higher than that of the normal group, although it was higher than the ulcer control group, there was no statistical significance. (4)The rate of erythrocyte- antibody-complement rosette (EAC rosette ) of electroacupuncture group was higher than that in the normal group(p< 0. 01 ), no difference from the ul- cer control group(P >0. 05). These results indicate the affirmative curative effect of electroacupuncture on gastric ulcer is done through many ways. The research provided experimental basis for the treatment of ulcer by electroacupuncture.
摘要:In this study, light microscope, electron microscope and electromyograph were used to observe the effect of acupuncture on neuropathomorphology and electromyogram of sciatic nerve in diabetic rats. The results are as follows: In the model group, the structure and function of sciatic nerve after 3 months appear similar to DPN. In the acupuncture group, the conditions are significantly better than that in the model group. The results suggest that acupuncture can slow or reduce the lesion of peripheral neuropathy induced by DM.
摘要:S_(180) solid tumor models in mice were established to observe the antineoplastic effects of moxibustion. The study shows that the moxibustion on the point of "Guanyuan" and cutting into the subcuta- neous tissue with surgical knife blade after moxibustion on the location of the tumor could hinder the growth of the tumor, thus heightened the survival rate and prolonged the duration of life of the mice. A more than 33 % rate of inhibition in treating the tumor was gained. It is also showed that the therapy improved the proliferative reaction of the splenic lymphocyte induced by the ConA and LPS, and improved the activity of IL-1 and IL-2. All these effects have statistical significance as compared with that of the control group, and were equal or superior to that of cyclophosphamide(CY). The results indicate that the thermotherapeutic effect, the effect of eliminating the stagnation and activiting the blood, the heightening of the immune function may all play a role in the moxibustion's antineoplastic effects.
摘要:Sixty cases of binary ascariasis were treated by acupuncture, moxibustion and medicine combined with fat-meal-MgSO_4 sequence therapy. Acupoints are Ganshu, Danshu, Riyue, Qimen, Yanglingquan. Drugs are Oriental Wormwood Decoction, Powder for Treating Cold Limbs and Pill of Black Plum. The cure rate was 70. 2% in treatment groups, while it was 37. 5 % in control group (40 cases). The former is much better than the latter (P < 0. 01 ).
摘要:Ulcerative colitis or chronic nonspecific colitis is a chronic colitis, the cause of disease is unknown. Its characteristics are chronic repeated abdominal pain, diarrhea and protracted, hardly cured stool with pus, blood and mucous. The incidence of this disease shows a tendency to rise recently, and there is no an ideal therapy in Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. We treated this disease with moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36 ), Shenshu(BL 23 ), Guanyuan(RN 4 ), and compared its effect with that of routine treatment of Western medicine, we found that the curative effect of moxibustion group was obviously better than that of medicine group.
