USING ACUPOINT-TO-ACUPOINT PENETRATIVE NEEDLING TO TREAT POST-STROKE SPASTIC PARALYSIS:A CLINICAL PROGRESS REVIEW

Objective: The aim of this clinical literature review is to determine the characteristics and advantages of acupoint-to-acupoint penetrative needling(AAPN) treatment on post-stroke spastic paralysis(PSSP), so as to improve the clinical outcomes of this disease in the future.Methods: Randomized controlled trials of PSSP patients receiving AAPN treatment were searched from Medline, EMBASE and CNKI database from January 2006 to June 2013.Key words included clinic or clinical, acupuncture, needling, acupoint-toacupoint, penetrative or penetration or penetrating, stroke or apoplexy or cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, spastic paralysis or spasticity or palsy, and hypermyotonia.Language was limited to English and Chinese.Case series reports, review articles, and animal studies were excluded.Results: AAPN shows better clinical results than other acupuncture treatments, especially combined with other adjunct therapies such as electroacupuncture, bloodletting, and rehabilitation.In light of the recent data, AAPN is effective for PSSP.Penetrations from yang-channel acupoints to yin-channel acupoints in the upper limbs and from yin-channel acupoints to yang-channel acupoints in the lower limbs with a reinforcing maneuver combined with rehabilitation achieve the best effect.Conclusion: AAPN is an effective treatment for PSSP, and it can accelerate and improve the functional repair of PSSP patients.     

CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON TREATMENT OF HICCUP BY ACUPOINT DIGITAL-PRESSING AND MASSAGE

In the present paper, 32 cases of hiccup are treated with acupoint digital pressing and massage. According to syndrome differentiation, hiccup is divided into 5 types including stomach-cold, reversed rising of the stomach-fire, adverse flow of qi and phlegm obstruction, deficiency of both spleen-yang and kidney-yang and insufficiency of the stomach-yin. Acupoints used are Zusanli (ST 36), Neiguan (PC 6), Zhongfu (LU 1), etc. and pressed with fingers repeatedly. Then, massage manipulations are performed by tapping the patient's back repeatedly for 5 - 6 times; tapping Jiuwei (CV 15) area, and pressing the tender-point beside the left side of T3_4 spinous processes and Geshu (BL 17). After treatment, of the 32 cases of hiccup, 23 cases are cured, 6 have remarkable improvement and 3 are failed in treatment, with the effective rate being 90.6% .     

CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON TREATMENT OF 198 CEREBRAL INFARCTION PATIENTS WITH OPPOSING AND NON-OPPOSING NEEDLING METHODS

198 cases of cerebral infarction diagnosed clinically.by means of CT scan wereselected, and the therapeutic effects obtained with the methods of opposing and non-opposing needlingwere compared, The primary points included Head-Linqi(GB 15) and Zhengying(GB 17) (penetra-tion needling), Fengchi(GB 20), Neiguan (PC 6), qnd Yinlingquan (SP 9). While the supplemen-tary points were Jiquan (HT 1 ), Xiaohai (SI 8), Huantiao (GB 30), Yinmen (BL 37), Sanyinjiao(SP 6), and Taixi (KI 3). It was found that the radical cure rate in the group treated with opposingneedling was 57%, while that in the group with non-opposipg needling was 34%. The difference oftherapeutic effects between the two groups was of statistical significance (P<0.01 ). It indicates thatopposing needling is superior to non-opposing needling in elevating cure rates and reducing sequelae.     

THERMOLYTIC EFFECT OF MOXIBUSTION AND ITS RELATION TO ACUPOINT RECEPTORS

In the present paper, the effect of moxibustion stimulation (by using a computer automatically-controlled condensed light) of Dazhui (GV 14) etc. on auricular temperature changes was observed in the rabbit after intravenous injection of endotoxin. Changes of rabbit‘s auricular temperature were sampled and recorded by using a thermistor-thermometer (connected with a computer) before and after moxibustion stimulation. Results indicated that moxibustion making the skin temperature reach to 480C could inhibit the endotoxin-induced lowering reaction of auricular temperature, while moxibustion making the skin temperature of 400C had no this effect. It revealed that higherskin-temperature moxibustion had a thermolytic effect on body-fever, which had a close relation mainly with polymodal receptors rather than with temperature receptor. It also demonstrated that endotoxininduced changes of auricular temperature could be used as an index for evaluating the thermolytic effect of moxibustion.

OBSERVATION ON THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF ENCLOSING NEEDLING UNDER CT ORIENTATION FOR TREATMENT OF ISCHEMIC CEREBRAL STROKE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON PLASMA NO

In the present paper, 61 cases of ischemic cerebral apoplexy were randomly divided into enclosing needling group (n=31 ) and scalp-acupuncture group (n=30). After 30 sessions of treatment, there was a significant difference between the two groups in the therapeutic effect (P＜0.05), indicating enclosing needling being superior to scalp-acupuncture. Both enclosing needling and scalpacupuncture could lower plasma NO content while the former was more apparent in lowering plasma NO level.

OBSERVATION ON CLINICAL THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF MRI-AIDED ENCLOSURE NEEDLING IN THE TREATMENT OF STROKE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON BLOOD RHEOLOGY

Objective: To observe clinical therapeutic effect of magnetic resonance imaging (MRl)-aided enclosure needling in the treatment of stroke patients and changes of the related blood rheology. Methods: A total of 61stroke patients were randomized into MR I-aided enclosure needling group (MRI-aided acupuncture group) (n = 31 ) and conventional acupuncture group (n= 30). For patients of MRl-aided acupuncture group, acupuncture needles were inserted into the subcutaneous tissues around the focus-projection scalp area displayed by MRI, with the needle tips toward the center of the projection region and with two needles being about 2 crn apart, combined with other acupoints according to the concrete syndromes or symptoms. For patients of conventional acupuncture group, Motor Area (MS 6)and Sensory Area (MS 7) on the contralateral side of the focus were punctured. The treatment was conducted once daily, continuously for 30 days. Results: After treatment, of the 31 cases in MRl-aided acupuncture group, 20 werecured basically, 10 responded with significant improvement of symptoms and signs, one case had some improvement.While in conventional acupuncture group, of the 30 cases, 11 were cured basically, 15 responded with striking amelioration of symptoms and signs and 4 had some amelioration. Ridit analysis showed that the therapeutic effect of MRI-aided acupuncture group was significantly superior to that of conventional acupuncture group (P ＜ 0.05). After treatment,the whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, whole blood reduction viscosity, hemagglutination index, and the total score of the two groups all decreased significantly in comparison with those of pre-treatment of each group,while whole blood viscosity, hematocrit, vascular sclerosis index and the total score of MRl-aided acupuncture group were obviously lower than those of conventional acupuncture group ( P＜ 0.05- 0.01 ), suggesting that the effect of theformer group in bettering blood rheology was pronouncedly superior to that of conventional acupuncture group. Conclusion: MRl-aided acupuncture group is obviously superior to that of conventional acupuncture group in improving clinicalsymptoms and signs and blood rheology in stroke patients.     

胃电图临床应用及中医辨证、针刺与胃电图关系的实验研究——附144例资料分析

<正> 消化道疾病是一种常见病、多发病,至今对胃肠道疾病诊断的检查方法有X线钡餐造影、纤维内窥镜等。长期来中医针灸临床常取足三里穴为治疗肠胃道疾病的主穴。而且国内已有不少工作证实足三里穴对胃肠道生理功能确有一定的影响,但缺乏一种无痛苦的客观记录。自Alyarez等从人的腹壁体表记录到胃电后,许多学者都企图应用胃电作为胃机能活动的指标研究胃的生理病理规律,希望胃电能作为胃疾患临床诊断和
