OBSERVATION ON THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF MOXIBUSTION FOR TREATMENT OF PREGNANT VOMITING

In the present observation,302 patients with pregnant vomiting were divided randomlyinto moxibustion group（n=151）and Chinese drug group（n=151）.In the former group,moxlbus-tlon was at Guanyuan（CV 4）and Sanyinjiao（SP 6）,etc,and In the later,Chinese drugs were giv-en according to differentiation of symptoms and signs and types of syndromes.Results show that outof the 151 cases of the former group, 146 (96.7%) are cured and 5 (3. 3 % ) improved; out of the 151cases of the Chinese drug group, 89 (58. 9% ) are cured and 62 (41. 1 % ) improved. Comparison be-tween the two groups in the cure rate shows a very significant difference (P <0. 0001 ), illustratingthat moxibustion therapy is superior to Chinese drug in treatment of pregnant vomiting.

EFFECT OF MOXIBUSTION ON CATECHOLAMINE

Objective: To investigate whether moxibustion affects the secretion of catecholamine as a-drenalin, noradrenaline and dopamine. Methods: Twenty Wistar rats were allocated to two groups. One was moxibustion-group (10 rats), and the other was non-moxibustion-group (10 rats). Four ignited moxa-cones were applied to bilateral "Shenshu" (肾俞 BL 23). When a moxa-cone burned out, another one was replaced. At the end of each experiment, blood sample (2 mL/rat) was collected from the heart for assaying plasma adrenalin, noradrenaline and dopamine contents with high pressure liquid chromatography. Results: The presented results showed that plasma adrenalin and noradrenaline contents of moxibustion-group are significantly higher than those of non-moxibustion-group (P<0.01). However, there is no significant difference of dopamine between moxibustion- and non-moxibustion- groups (P >0.05). Conclusion: These results demonstrated that moxibustion stimulates the secretion of adrenaline and noradrenaline in normal rats.     

DEVELOPMENT ON CLINICAL TREATMENT OF CONSTIPATION WITH ACUPUNCTURE AND MOXIBUSTION

Constipation is one of the common disorders ofthe digestive systemin daily life and is increasing inthe sick rate due to stress,lower physical activity,quickened rhythms of people’s daily living activitiesand changes of the diet habits.Administration ofmedicines for catharsis can relieve its symptoms tem-porarily though;the secondary constipation aftermedication may worsen the state further.Acupunc-ture therapy works well in the treatment of constipa-tion.It is recorded early in Chinese class…

CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON TREATMENT OF 205 CASES OF CERVICAL SPONDYLOPATHY BY ACUPUNCTURE AND MOXIBUSTION ON THE GOVERNOR VESSEL OF THE NECK

This article involves 325 patients suffering from cervical spondylopathy,amongthem 205 cases were treated by acupuncture and moxibustion on the governor vessel of the neck（treatment group）,the other 120 cases were treated by common acupuncture（control group）.Itwas observed that the cure rate,the total effective rate was 91.2％,98.5％ in the treatmentgroup,and 55.8％,87.5％ in the control group.There were statistically significant differences（P<0.01）in the cure rate and total effective rate between the two groups.It is concluded thatacupuncture and moxibustion on the governor vessel of the neck may improve Yang Qi circulationwithin the Dumai and promote the micro-circulation in the diseased areas.Thus it evidently in-creases the therapeutic effects.

Itritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a verycommon dysfunction of the gastrointestine,mainly manifested as abdominal pain, increase indefecation and abnormal stoo1 in nature and ap-pearance that occur repeatedly and present con-tinuously. The diarrhea type IBS is higher in in-cidence accounting for about 52% of IBS. Inmodem medicine, it is treated by eliminating theevoked factors, pain-relieving and antidiarrhealremedies. But the -side-effects of Westernmedicines restrict its long-term applica…     

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.

THE EFFECT OF MOXIBUSTION ON THE CHANGES OF 5-HT AND IMMUNE FUNCTION OF RAT INFECTED WITH EHFV

Authors observated the effect of moxibustion on changes of 5-HT and immunefunction of rat infected with EHFV.The results show that moxibustion could enhance the phago-cytosis of peritoneal macrophage of rat infected with EHFV,increase the roset rate of RBC C_3brecptor,decrease the content of 5-HT in plasma.There is a significant dffeerence between EHFVinfected group and moxibustion group.That suggests the moxibustion could enhance the immunefunction of body,regulate the metablic disturbance of 5-HT in plasma,maintain the internal en-vironment of body and enhance the force of body to anti EHFV.Maybe that can play an impor-tant role in the mechanism of moxibustion treating EHF.
