运用激光多普勒血流成像仪探讨针灸作用原理的初步研究

目的:用激光多普勒血流成像仪观察针灸作用的显示,评价这一新型医学影像技术在针灸经络研究中的应用价值.方法:使用激光多普勒血流成像仪,对10名健康人体针刺和电针前后体表出现的血流变化予以大范围地显像,分析体表血流分布与针刺作用的关系.结果:(1)针刺内关穴后,手掌部血流的增加以大小鱼际和手指的部位为主.(2)电针外关和曲池穴后,指尖和手指血流增加显著.(3)不针刺对照组在30分钟内前臂、手掌和手背血流的自然波动较小.结论:针刺和电针都可以引起体表微循环的增加,激光多普勒血流成像仪可以对该过程予以显像.

目的:探讨电针"关元""三阴交"对围绝经期模型大鼠神经内分泌的调整作用及二穴间相互影响.方法:复制大鼠去卵巢模型,测定电针各单穴及配伍后对模型大鼠血清雌二醇(E2)、促卵泡激素(FSH)、促黄体生成素(LH)、下丘脑β-EP、子宫脏器指数、子宫内膜厚度的影响.结果:电针能降低围绝经期模型大鼠血清LH、FSH含量,升高血清E2和下丘脑β-EP的含量,增加子宫脏器指数和子宫内膜厚度.在对下丘脑β-EP的影响上,二穴配伍作用强于任一单穴.结论:在对下丘脑β-EP的影响方面,"关元"与"三阴交"存在协同作用.     

弓状核内微量注射5-羟色胺加强电针抑制胃运动

目的:探讨弓状核(ARC)内注射微量5-HT对电针足三里穴调节胃运动的影响.方法:采用霍耳效应原理慢性记录胃运动的变化.结果:通过ARC内埋植不锈钢插管注入2μ1生理盐水,不影响电针的抑制效应;而向ARC内注入5-HT1μg/2μ1时,则电针的抑制效应增强.结论:ARC内微量注射5-HT增强电针对胃的抑制,ARC内的5-HT可能参与电针对胃的抑制效应.

电针结合导管球囊扩张术治疗脑卒中后环咽肌失弛缓致吞咽障碍临床观察

目的 观察电针结合导管球囊扩张术治疗脑卒中后环咽肌失弛缓所致吞咽障碍的临床疗效。方法 将60例患者随机分为观察组和对照组，每组30例。对照组予以导管球囊扩张术治疗，观察组在对照组的基础上加用电针，取穴廉泉、夹廉泉、翳风、风池，予以连续波，频率2 Hz。两组患者每天治疗1次，每周6 d，连续治疗4周。采用洼田饮水试验、标准吞咽功能评价量表（standardized swallowing assessment，SSA）评价患者吞咽功能，并观察“声嘶语謇”等9个症状积分，根据洼田饮水试验分级变化判定临床疗效。结果 治疗4周后，两组洼田饮水试验评分、SSA评分、症状积分均较治疗前显著降低（P＜0.05），且观察组各项评分降低程度明显大于对照组（P＜0.05）；观察组临床疗效显著优于对照组（P＜0.05）。结论 电针结合导管球囊扩张术可减轻吞咽相关的临床症状，提高总体疗效。     

神经胶质细胞在电针治疗神经病理性疼痛中的作用研究进展

神经病理性疼痛是临床中较为常见的慢性疼痛综合征之一,大量文献研究显示神经病理性疼痛与神经胶质细胞生理活动密切相关,神经胶质细胞通过释放各种神经活性物质,发挥信号转导通路功能,在疼痛的产生和维持中起作用,电针刺激可通过抑制神经胶质细胞活化参与镇痛效应。本文就电针治疗神经病理性疼痛的国内外最新文献研究,对神经胶质细胞与神经病理性疼痛的关系及其参与电针镇痛机制的研究进展进行综述。     

Electroacupuncture for the treatment of supraspinatus calcific tendonitis

BackgroundConservative treatment of calcific tendonitis includes rest, medications, and physical therapy. Several physiotherapy interventions such as shockwave therapy are commonly used. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of an electrotherapy method called electroacupuncture, in the treatment of calcific tendonitis.Methods40 patients with calcific tendonitis were randomly divided to receive either a combination of medications and electroacupuncture, or just a course of medications. Evaluated outcomes included pain using the visual analog scale, shoulder range of motion with the use of goniometer, and quality of life along with functional status using the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IAOLDS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Radiological evaluation for the progression of the calcific deposits was also performed. All these evaluations were performed before and at the end of treatment. A final interview with the patients regarding any recurrent episodes was performed 18–24 months after the end of treatment.ResultsThe intervention group showed greater improvement in pain intensity (2.8 points), range of motion (forward flexion, +30; abduction +29) when compared with the control group (for all, P < .05) while there was no statistically significant difference regarding the quality of life (IOLDS +0.2; BDI 0). Radiological evaluation demonstrated total or nearly total absorption of calcific deposits in 15 patients of the intervention group and in 8 patients of the control group.ConclusionThe successful clinical results of electroacupuncture and the regression of calcific depositions after treatment showed that electroacupuncture may have a role as a treatment modality in calcific tendonitis.
