肉豆蔻（Nutmeg and Mace）

活性成分与药理作用 肉豆蔻种核和肉豆蔻皮挥发油含有肉豆蔻醚、榄香素、丁香酚、异丁香酚、gerinol和黄樟脑等。肉豆蔻种核、皮及它们的挥发油具有抗氧化活性，并与挥发油含量无关。肉豆蔻皮具有抗细菌和抗真菌作用。其种核还具有解痉活性和精神活性，可引起幻觉、幻想、精神愉快和妄想。虽然其精神活性归因于肉豆蔻醚，但是合成的肉豆蔻醚自身不会引起幻觉。一些实验认为，其他挥发油成分如丁香酚和gerinol可能会提高其致幻作用。     

Combined Acupuncture and Bloodletting on Chize （LU 5） and Weizhong （BL 40） for Chronic Eczema

Objective： To observe the clinical effect of combined acupuncture with bloodletting on Chize （LU 5） and Weizhong （BL 9） for chronic eczema. Methods： A total of 40 cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group, 20 in each. Cases in the observation group were treated with acupuncture plus bloodletting on Chize （LU 5） and Weizhong （BL 9）, whereas cases in the control group were treated with acupuncture alone. The acupuncture was conducted once a day, bloodletting twice a week. The therapeutic efficacy was statistically analyzed after one month of consecutive treatment. Results： The recovery and total effective rates in the observation group were significantly higher than that in the control group （P〈O.05）. Conclusion： Combined acupuncture and bloodletting on Chize （LU 5） and Weizhong （BL 40） could obtain a better effect than acupuncture alone.

Influence of Electroacupuncture at Taichong （LR 3） and Ququan （LR 8） on Hepatic Hemodynamics

Objective： To observe the influence Taichong （LR 3） and Ququan （LR 8） on patients with chronic hepatic diseases. of electroacupuncture hepatic hemodynamics （EA） at in the Methods： Sixty cases with chronic hepatic diseases were randomly divided into a Taichong （LR 3） group and a Ququan （LR 8） group, 30 cases in each group, and were respectively treated with electroacupuncture at Taichong （LR 3） and Ququan （LR 8）. The blood flow results of the hepatic artery and portal vein by color ultrasonic test were used as the objective indexes, to compare and observe the hemodynamics changes of the hepatic artery and portal vein in the patients before and after EA. Results： After EA, in Taichong （LR 3） group, the average velocity, the lowest velocity, resistance indexes and the highest velocity of blood flow of the hepatic artery, and the highest velocity, average velocity of blood flow of the portal vein, blood flow volume of the portal vein （PVBF）, total blood flow volume of the liver （TLBF）, and Doppler blood perfusion indexes of the hepatic artery （DPI） were all statistically different from those before intervention （all P~O,O5）, In Ququan （LR 81 group, the highest velocity, average velocity, lowest velocity and resistance indexes of blood flow of the hepatic artery, and the highest velocity and average velocity of blood flow of the portal vein, and PVBF were significantly different from those before intervention （P〈0.05）. The TLBF and DPI were significantly different from those before intervention （P〈0.01）. All various indexes were not statistically different between the two groups. Conclusion： EA at Taichong （LR 3） and Ququan （LR 8） can speed up blood flow velocity of the portal vein, increase PVBF, increase the TLBF, increase the resistance indexes of the hepatic artery, decrease the blood flow velocity of the hepatic artery, and decrease DPI in the liver.

Objective： To observe the clinical Zhongji （CV 3） and Zusanli （ST 36） gynecological surgery. effect of warm needling moxibustion at in treatment of urinary retention after Methods： Forty patients with urinary retention after gynecological surgery were randomly divided into two groups by the randomized method, 20 cases in each group. Patients in the treatment group were treated by warm needling moxibustion at Zhongji （CV 3） and Zusanli （ST 36）. Patients in the control group were treated by inductive urination. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were observed after one course of treatment. Results： The total effective rate was 95.0% in the treatment group and 70.0% in the control group. The difference in the total effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant （P〈O.05）. Conclusion： Warm needling moxibustion at Zhongji （CV 3） and Zusanli （ST 36） is more effective than inductive urination in treating urinary retention after gynecological surgery.
