摘要:Traditional Chinese medicine(TCN), a summary of fruitful experiences oflong struggle against diseases by Chinese peeple, is an important component ofthe Chinese excellent cultural heritages. As an outstanding one serving thebiggest population in the world among the world traditional medicine, TCMhas its own specific system of theory and rich clinical practices, and has made
摘要:Herpes zoster may be classified among the cpidemic diseases, disease ofthe FONG (wind) occuring mainly in spring and among old people. This infection of viral origin is due to the weakening of the defensive
摘要:Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a unique and fairly comprehensivetheoretical system, which has been evolved through constant practice and continual summarization over the past several thousand years,and which hasbeen used to guide the clinical practice of all medical branches includingacupuncture and moxibustion and because of the satisfactory curative effectshave been achieved.
摘要:Various skin tests have. used for long time in clinical diagnosis, especiallyof neurological diseases. The skin electro-conductivity test has been used todetermine acupoints since early years of fifties. The apparrent advantage ofthis test is that the reactivity of. organism can be determened by measurementsmade at many standard skin acupoints, rather than two points only and the
摘要:Up to now, the drug anaesthesia for surgical operations has been quicklyprogessed and became very convenient to practise. In general, it is veryeffective, but sometimes it may be life theatening to some special patients,such as' those hypersensitive to drugs or with dysfunction of multiple organsand the patients who need long operations over 10 to 20 hours. The result ofthe reluctant operation may be: "The operation might be successful, but thepatient was dead".
摘要:At first Ⅰwould like to thank the organizers for giving me the opportunityto take part in this big conference. I am very happy that this is my sixthtrip to China where found numerous personal friends and also excellent teacherswho allowed me to gain a better understanding of the Traditional ChineseMedicine.
摘要:Research in acupuncture mechanisms covers a very broad field. In abrief period of 15 minutes I will only mention 5 aspects: (1) A general sketch on the mechanisms of acupuncture analgesia, (2) Different ways of needle manipulation produce different therapeuticeffects,
摘要:我们曾报道,以极化电流阻断A类纤维的传导后,仅让C类纤维传入时,在对侧大脑皮层体感Ⅰ区(SI)记录到可反映慢反应的C类纤维皮层诱发电位(C-CEP);电刺激SI区的不同深度对C-CEP可产生不同程度的抑制作用。Dariansmith等曾确定猫大脑皮层的前上雪氏回为特异的体Experiments were performed on cats under chlorclose anaothesia and im-mobilized by gallaminc ethiodide. The saphenous nerve was stimulated with strongelectric pulses and the A-fibers were blocked by anodal current so as to exciteC-fibers selectively. The cortical potential evoked by C-fibers input (C-CFP)which was related to slow pain was recorded on the contralateral somatosensoryarea Ⅰ(SI). The different depths of SⅢ were stimulated with the electricpulses of different intensities and the effect of the stimulation on C-CEP wasobserved. The results showed when the SⅢ was stimulated, the amplitudes ofCCEP decreased and the after-effect might continue for 4 minutes. It showedthat the stimulation of SⅢ had aninhibitory effect on C-CEP. The inhibitoryeffect of SⅢ stimulation was stronger than that of stimulation was strongerSⅠ. The effect of stimulating superficial and deeper layers of SⅢ on C-CEPwas stronger than that of middle layers. When the deeper layers of SⅢ wasstimulated, the stronger the stimulating intensity was, the stronger the inhibitoryeffect of stimulating SⅢ was related to the intensily and the depth of stimula-tion. From the above results, it is suggested that SⅢ might participate in thenodulation of slow pain.
摘要:近年来的工作表明,下丘脑弓状核(ARC)、中缝背核(DR)和蓝斑(LC)通过各自发出的神经末梢分别释放β-内啡呔、5-羟色胺(5-HT)和去甲肾上腺素(NE),参与针刺镇痛和痛觉调制的过程。ARC既参与镇痛,也能接受伤害性刺激的输入,例如外周伤害性刺激可以改变ARC神经元的单位放电。我们在实验中也发现,当刺激坐骨神经的强度达到使细纤维(Aδ和In the anesthetized male rats, we observed that the pain-evoked potentialof hypothalamic arcuate nucleus area (ARC) could be inhibited by "Zusanli"electroacupuncture, but not by needling non-acupuncture point. This inhibitioncould be reversed by microiontophoresis of monamine antagonists, cyprohepta-dine or tolazoline, but not by that of saline. These results indicated that 5-HTor NE could be involved in the pain-evoked potential inhibition by electroacu-puncture. According to the literature, it is suggested that in he mechanism or theinhibitory effect of eleciroacupuncture on the pain-evoked potential in ARC thereare two pathways, serotonergic pathway projecting from the dorsal raphe nucleusto ARC and noradrenergic one projecting from the locus coeruleus to ARC.
摘要:我们以前的工作曾发现电针大鼠的“足三里”或刺激坐骨神经可通过交感神经抑制直流电——钾离子刺激皮肽诱发的背根和尾神经的传入冲动。由于当时记录的背根和尾神经传入冲动含有不同类型的纤维活动,因而难以确定哪种感受器的活动受到了抑制。为了分析针刺激活的中枢传出抑制作用,是否抑制Aδ纤维机械痛感受器(简称The experiments were performed on 59 rats anesthetized with Chloralose-Urethane. The tail nerve was dissected into small bundles of fibers for recordingafferent discharges evoked by mechanical pressure stimulation and so on. Theeffect of stimulation of the central end of the sciatic nerve or peripheral endof the lumbosacral sympathetic trunk on the Aδ-mechanical nociceptors (meanconduction velocity=11.4m/sec) were studied respectively. The results obtained are as follows: (1) Of the 29 units of Aδ-mechanical nociceptor recorded, 24 appearedobviously inhibitory effect after stimulation of the central end of the sciaticnerve for 5 min. The number of discharges evoked by machanical pressuredecreased to 70% of control value and its after-effect lasted for about 8 min. (2) After cutting the lumbosacral sympathetic trunk, the inhibitory effectof stimulation of the sciatic nerve was almost completely abolished in the unitsrecorded. (3) Stimulation of the peripheral end of the lumbosacral sympathetic trunkcould inhibit the unit discharges of the Aδ-mechanical nociceptors cvoked bymachnical pressure. The number of discharges decreased to 49.4% of controlvalue and its after effect lasted for about 10 min in 20 units. (4) The partial touch (13/23) and stretch (11/29) receptors appeared lightlyinhibitory effect after stimulation of central end of the sciatic nerve. These results show that stimulation of the sciatic nrve might inhibit dischargesof the Aδ-mechanical nociceptor evoked by mechanical pressure and the efferentpathway was the sympathetic nerve. The conclusion therefore support thehypothesis that the acupuncture might activate centrifugal inhibitory effect onthe nociceptors.
摘要:人们在临床实践中体验到,在同一穴位上运用不同的针刺手法可产生不同的治疗效果。这一现象愈来愈引起针灸原理研究工作者的兴趣。近二十年来针刺镇痛原理的研究日益深入,业已证明,电针刺激可使中枢神经系统释放阿片肽产生镇痛作用。但阿片颉颃剂纳洛酮阻断大鼠电针镇痛的程度和所需的剂量与电针频率密切相Male rabbits of 2 0-2.6kg were used. nociception was assessed by measuringthe latency of the escape response (ERL) elicited by strong radiant heat focused on the skin of the nostrils or on the tail. Electroacupunctre (EA) stimulationwas applied via acupuncture needles inserted into the acupoint Zusanli andQuenlun, located near the knee joint and ankle joint respectively, A 50% increasein ERL at the end of 10 min EA stimulation was considered as positive responsein EA analgesia. The effectivenese of EA analgesia was determined usingEA of different frequencies, ranging from 2, 2—15, 15, 30, up to 60 and 100Hz with the intensify of EA being fixed at 2 volts (2.24±0.11mA). Thepercentage of responders was highest in 2-15 Hz EA (70%), followed by 15Hz≥2 Hz>30Hz, whereas 60 and 100 Hz EA were practically ineffective(responders only 12--13%). The rate of responders as determined by nociceptivetest applie on the head showed no significant difference with those applied onthe tall, indicating that the analgesic effect is generalized rather than segmental.The vulnerability of EA analgesia to naloxone blockade depends on the frequencyof EA being used. The analgesic effect of 2 Hz & 2-15 Hz EA could be blockedby a small dosc (1mg/kg) of naloxone, that of 15 Hz EA by a higher dose(5mg/kg), whereas the effect of 30 Hz HA could not be blocked even by 10mg/kg of naloxone. The results suggest that low frequency (2 Hz, 2-15 Hz) EAanalgesia is mediated predominantly, and 15 Hz EA analgesia partly, by opioidmechanisms, whereas higher frequency (30 Hz or more) EA analgesia seems tobe mediated by non-opioid mechanisms.
摘要:国内有些作者报道,用药物使动物血压升高时与临床治疗高血压患者相似,均表明电针足三里穴对心血管活动具有调整作用,而对正常的或氟烷浅麻醉动物均无影响。我们曾观察到,电针以乌拉坦麻醉的家兔“足三里”穴可致明显瞬间的血压下降,而且该降压效应与心率无关,也不Twentg experiments were carried on 15 rabbits. The results showed thatelectro-acupuncture of Zhusanli had very significant blood pressure loweringeffect (P<0.01) in the contrsl group of the 15 experiments (75% of the total)in 12 animals. But, as naloxone (1 to 1.5mg/kg), the antagonist of opiate-likesubstance (OLS), was given intravenously 5 minutes ahead of acupuncturing,the BP lowering effect weakened in varying degrees, showing no significant di-fference statically (P>0.05) in comparison with the original BP levels. In 4animals of good status, the effects of different dosage of naloxone were compa-red, and found that the weakening effect was stronger with 1.5mg/kg than 1mg/kgwith the BP measurements after application near normal or reversed. The acupu-ndture effects in percentage before and after naloxone application were signi-ficantly different (P<0.01). The above results indicate that under our presentexperimental conditions. BP lowering effect during electro-acupuncture of Zhusaliwas due to the release of OLS in the anjmal bodies with inhibitory effect onvasotension, and dilatation of peripheral arteries resulted. In the other 4 experiments (20% of the total) in 3 animals, repeated electro-acupuncture of Zhusanli were applied even with voltage augmented to 8 or 9volts, but still no significant BP lowering effect was found, and also no differe-nce happened after naloxone application, indicating no endogenous OLS wasreleased or no activation of OLS receptors took place in the animals.
摘要:近十余年,随着电子技术与计算机科学的进步和胃肠道平滑肌电生理研究的不断深入,推动了胃电深入研究和广泛应用,国内学者将中医、针灸与胃电结合研究,取得一些可喜的苗头。胃电将有可能成为具有一定价值的客观检测指标。胃电研究与应用进展自1922年,ALvarez等人首次从人体记录到胃的电活动以来,人们从不同的There has been big development in electrogastroenterography for recent tenyears. This article will underscore the following points: 1. On study of accupuncture, it appears that there is a doudtly modula-tion action induced by needling some points and a relative specificity in the action of the points on gastric and intestinal electrical activity. 2. Some people observed the relatian of TCM differentiation of syndromeswith EGG and found that the amplitude of EGG with cases of Xu type aswell cold type was lower than that of the normal subjects, but with hoat typethe mean amplitude was highur than that of the normal subjects. 3. For instruments detecting gastric and intestinal electrical activity, thefilter is very important. To meet practical requirements, we apply low-passfilter with source, digital filter of FIR and adaptive filter to the extractionof electrogashrographic signals. 4. Signal analysis consists of time domain analysis and frequency domainanalysis. EGG features are extracted and detected by correlation function andcoherent averaging technique. For obtaining spectrum of EGG, computer spectrumanalysis using Fast Fourer Transform (FFT) and the autoregressive (AR)spectral estimation technique are presented.
