OBJECTIVE
To determine the clinical efficacy and safety of electro-scalp acupuncture in the treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke.METHODS
Totally 74 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled and divided into either body acupuncture (Control) or electro-scalp acupuncture (ESA) groups according to randomized controlled principle. The patients in the control group were given body acupuncture treatment once daily for 28 d, whereas except for the body acupuncture, electro-scalp acupuncture was additional treatment given to the ESA group. Neurological deficits, everyday motor function and muscle strength were evaluated at baseline and the 28th d by NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Modified Barthel Index Score (MBI), respectively.RESULTS
There were not obvious between-group differences in the baseline efficacy parameters (NIHSS, FMA and MBI) (all P > 0.05), whereas significant between-group differences were found in post-treatment NIHSS, FMA-UE and MBI scores (all P < 0.05). After acupuncture treatment, systematic within-group improvements were found in the two groups for any of the efficacy parameters assessed (all P < 0.01), and the ESA group showed higher significant improvements in NIHSS, FMA-UE and MBI scores (all P < 0.05).CONCLUSION
Electro-scalp acupuncture was efficacious in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, which resulted in meaningful improvements in neurologic function, motor function and activities of daily living of patients. 相似文献2.
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of gastric distention (GD) and acupuncture at three different acupoints on the spontaneous discharge of neurons in the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN), and to clarify the specific function of the MVN in the central integration mechanism underlying acupuncture regulation.METHODS
GD was conducted using a balloon inserted in the stomach cavity, and acupuncture was performed separately at each of three acupoints: Zusanli (ST 36), Quchi (LI 11), and Weishu (BL 21). The effect of acupuncture and GD on the spontaneous discharge of MVN neurons was assessed using a glass microelectrode filled with a sodium acetate electrolyte solution containing 1% pontamine sky blue; the discharge signals from the neurons were amplified by the microelectrode amplifier and recorded in the Spike2 system.RESULTS
GD and acupuncture significantly affected the spontaneous discharge of MVN neurons. Furthermore, acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) and Weishu (BL 21) was significantly more effective at altering the discharge of GD-responsive MVN neurons compared with GD-nonresponsive neurons.CONCLUSION
GD and acupuncture at three different acupoints affected the electrical activity of MVN neurons. The MVN is involved in the central integration mechanism underlying acupuncture regulation of gastric functions. The effects of acupuncture on gastric function may therefore be mediated via these particular MVN neurons. 相似文献3.

Objective
To observe the effect of Tiaoshen Kaiqiao acupuncture in the treatment of ischemic post-stroke depression.Methods
This research was a single-blind, positive-controlled trial done in a single entity. Totally 58 patients with ischemic post-stroke depression were randomly divided into two groups. The acupuncture group was given Tiaoshen Kaiqiao acupuncture therapy and placebo starch tablets treatment, while the control group was treated with fluoxetine tablets and body acupuncture treatment. Evaluated the clinical efficacy of the two groups with Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Anti Depression Drug Side Effects Rating Scale (SERS), Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI) respectively before treatment, the fourth weekend of treatment, the eighth weekend of treatment, the twelfth weekend of treatment. The adverse reactions in two groups were observed and documented.Results
The HAMD scale scores of the two groups in different treatment period were significantly decreased compared with that before treatment (P < 0.05); the score reduction of HAMD scale between the two groups had no significant differences (P > 0.05). There was significant difference between the SERS scores of two groups (P < 0.05); the control group had more adverse reactions, and the score would be increased with the extension of treatment time. Effect index (EI) of CGI in the acupuncture group is better than that of control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion
The effects of Tiaoshen Kaiqiao acupuncture and fluoxetine in the treatment of ischemic post-stroke depression were similar, but the former had no obvious adverse reaction and side effects. 相似文献5.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of acupuncture at acupoint of Shenshu (BL 23) in ovariectomized rats and sham-operated rats.METHODS
Female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following four groups (n = 12 each): sham operation only (Sham), sham operation with acupuncture (Sham + ACP), ovariectomy only (OVX), and ovariectomy with acupuncture (OVX + ACP). Operations were performed at the 9th week of age. Acupuncture of Shenshu (BL 23) was started at the 11th week of age and conducted 3 times per week until the 26th week of age.RESULTS
Among ovariectomized rats, the acupuncture-treated rats had significantly lower body weights and cross-linked N-telopeptide of type 1 collagen levels in the urine after 3 weeks of acupuncture treatment, higher bone mineral density of the lumbar vertebra after 7 weeks, and smaller trabecular separation of the sixth lumbar vertebra, measured by micro-computed tomography, after 17 weeks than control rats. These effects were not observed in sham-operated rats. Blood concentrations of estradiol were significantly higher in the OVX + ACP group than in the untreated group. Acupuncture treatment increased plasma testosterone levels in sham-operated rats, while this increase was not observed in OVX rats.CONCLUSION
Acupuncture of Shenshu (BL 23) prevents bone loss and structural changes by suppressing bone resorption. 相似文献6.

Objective
To investigate the effects of acupuncture therapy compared with sham acupuncture on heart rate variability (HRV) in 24 elite soccer players during 4-week, high-intensity training sessions.Methods
The subjects were randomly divided into two groups: acupuncture group (AG) and sham acupuncture group (SG). In addition, AG had been implemented two times/week to stimulate Zusanli (ST 36), Hegu (LI 4), Shenshu (BL 23), and Chize (LU 5). While SG, had been applied to utilize a special “placebo-needle” technique on the same sites. What's more, the HRV parameters were calculated before and after interventions, respectively.Results
First, stress index (SI) had a significantly increased in SG (P = 0.031) compare pre-test with post-test, however, no significantly difference in AG (P = 0.102). Secondly, standard deviation of N-N intervals (SNDD) have enormously significantly higher in AG when comparing baseline with post therapy (P = 0.001), while, declined in SG (P = 0.827). Meanwhile, the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) were significant differences in AG (P = 0.023). What's more, when the high-frequency (HF) were significantly higher in AG (P = 0.047) after receiving the acupuncture therapy, the lowe-frequency (LF) power were decreased but no significant in AG and SG. Comparing with pre-experiment, the ratio of LF/HF was lower in AG, but higher in SG. Furthermore, it was significant difference when compare the post-experiment parameters of AG with SG (P = 0.015). And HF parameters have significance (P = 0.005) compare between two groups during the post-experiment.Conclusion
Based on evidence, acupuncture therapy on special acupoints could strengthen the parasympathetic nervous activity and modulates the balance between parasympathetic and sympathetic activity in soccer players while they engage in high-intensity training. 相似文献7.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of heat stimulation via scar-producing moxibustion at the acupoints Zusanli (ST 36) and Feishu (BL 13) on the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and quality of life in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).METHODS
Seventy patients with NSCLC were randomly assigned into two groups: group A received scar-producing moxibustion at the acupoints Zusanli (ST 36) and Feishu (BL 13) every day for 6 weeks, while group B received no intervention (control group). Outcome measures were the NLR and the scores from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). The NLR and the EORTC QLQ-C30 were assessed at baseline and at the end of 6 weeks.RESULTS
Five participants dropped out, leaving a final total of 65 participants who completed the trial. Groups A and B had a similar mean NLR at baseline. After the treatment course, the NLR in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P < 0.001). Compared with group B, the EORTC QLQ-C30 scores in group A were significantly greater in terms of global health status or quality of life (P < 0.001) and function (P < 0.05), and significantly lower in terms of symptoms (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION
The present study suggests that performing scar-producing moxibustion by heat-stimulating the acupoints Zusanli (ST 36) and Feishu (BL 13) effectively decreases the NLR and improves the quality of life in patients with NSCLC. 相似文献8.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the influence of serum from asthmatic rat treated with acupuncture (acupuncture serum) on the contractile responses of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs).METHODS
OVA-induced asthmatic rats were subject to acupuncture treatment at the points of Dazhui (GV 14), Fengmen (BL 12), and Feishu (BL 13). The resulting serum was collected, as well as serum from normal animals. Contraction of ASMCs was induced with 10 µM acetylcholine (Ach), and acupuncture serum or normal serum was supplemented 15 min later. The effects of the sera on the changes in cell length, width, and surface area were monitored in real time via a live cell imaging system.RESULTS
The contraction rates of ASMCs 15 min and 30 min after Ach stimulation reached 38.2% ± 3.8% and 49.7% ± 4.6%, both of which were significantly higher than unstimulated control cells (P < 0.01). Acupuncture serum at the 1: 100 dosage reduced the contraction rate of ASMCs from 40.1% ± 5.1% to 17.6% ± 6.5% (P < 0.01). Thus, the treatment significantly inhibited the Ach-induced contractile responses of ASMCs and yielded a relaxation efficiency of 58%, which was greater than the effects obtained with a 1: 250 dosage. Treatment with acupuncture serum at 1: 500 dosage or normal serum displayed no clear effect of suppressing Ach-induced contraction of ASMCs.CONCLUSION
Our data suggest that acupuncture serum has the effect of inhibiting Ach-induced contraction of ASMCs, thereby promoting relaxation of the cells. 相似文献9.

Objective
To determine differences in cerebral activity evoked by acupuncture and conventional stroke treatment, and identify the treatment targets.Methods
In total, 21 patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group A (11 patients) received both acupuncture and conventional treatment, while Group B (10 patients) received conventional treatment only. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was performed on each participant before and after treatment. Regional homogeneity (ReHo) analysis was performed to investigate the potential mechanism of acupuncture treatment by comparing differences in cerebral activity between treatments.Results
Group A showed higher ReHo in the frontal lobe (BA6, BA46), supra-marginal gyrus (BA40), middle temporal gyrus (BA21), cerebellum, and insula. Group B showed higher ReHo in the frontal lobe (BA6) and parietal lobe (BA3, BA7).Conclusion
Acupuncture and conventional treatment triggered relatively different clinical efficacy and brain responses. Acupuncture treatment more significantly improved the symptoms of stroke patients. More marked changes in sensory, emotional, and motor areas (including the frontal lobe, middle temporal gyrus, cerebellum, and insula) might reflect the specific acupuncture mechanism. 相似文献10.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate changes in gene expression profiles in the hypothalamus related to the effects of acupuncture at the Renying (ST 9) acupoint in spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats.METHODS
We randomly divided 18 SH rats into Renying (ST 9) group and model control group, 9 body weight-matched Wistar-Kyoto rats were used as blank controls. Acupuncture was performed manually for 20-min daily over 28 d in the Renying (ST 9) group. Rat Gene 2.0 array technology was used for the determination of gene expression profiles and the screened key genes were verified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses.RESULTS
The different groups exhibited differential gene expression: compared with the blank control group, 48 genes were up-regulated and 91 genes were down-regulated in the model group; compared with the model group, 79 genes were up-regulated and 80 genes were down-regulated in Renying (ST 9) group. The RT-PCR results of the key genes including Chi3l1, Ephx2, Klk1, 5-HT1A and Cbs were consistent with that of gene chip analysis.CONCLUTION
Acupuncture at Renying (ST 9) could significantly lower the blood pressure of SH rats and affect their hypothalamic gene expression profile. Genes associated with the contraction of vascular smooth muscle and the regulation of inflammation, neurotransmitters may be involved in acupuncture's antihypertensive mechanism. 相似文献11.

Objective
To investigate the effects of warming moxibustion Tianshu (ST 25, bilateral) and Qihai (CV 6) in patients with diarrhea-dominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS) by assessing predominant factors, and determining the best factor combinations and their interactions. To identify the optimal quantity of warming moxibustion Tianshu (ST 25, bilateral) and Qihai (CV 6) to achieve optimal efficacy.Methods
An L9 (34) orthogonal design was applied to 233 confirmed subjects based on the three most influential factors and the three most frequently used levels. Nine programs were designed. Subjects were assigned to four subgroups according to age and gender; each subject underwent one of the nine programs randomly. We selected Tianshu (ST 25, bilateral) and Qihai (CV 6). The scores of symptoms and the IBS Quality of Life (IBS-QOL) were evaluated after the final treatment.Results
After treatment, clinical symptoms of all patients were significantly improved (P = 0.001). Quality of life also improved significantly (P < 0.05). For all the participants, frequency was the dominating factor regarding symptoms (P = 0.01). Duration was the dominating factor for quality of life (P = 0.0001). The best combination for improving symptoms in 30–40-year-old male and female patients was two courses of 10 min each once a day, and for 41–50-year-old male and female patients it was three courses of 10 min (males) or 30 min (females) twice a day. The best combination for quality of life was three courses of 20 min once a day. No interaction was found between frequency and course, or frequency and duration.Conclusion
Warming moxibustion Tianshu (ST 25, bilateral) and Qihai (CV 6) is a promising therapy for D-IBS. To acquire optimal efficacy, the three main factors (duration, frequency and treatment course) of the warming moxibustion should reach a specific quantity and be combined appropriately. 相似文献12.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the therapeutic effects of nape acupuncture combined with rehabilitative swallowing training for dysphagia caused by pseudobulbar palsy, and to compare it with rehabilitative swallowing training alone, and to observe the improvement in quality of life after the therapy.METHODS
One hundred patients were randomly divided into two groups: the rehabilitative swallowing training group (control group, n = 50) and the nape acupuncture combined with rehabilitative swallowing training group (experimental group, n = 50). Each group had 8 weeks’ therapy, 5 times a week. Patients in the control group received rehabilitative swallowing training, while those in the experimental group received nape acupuncture therapy based on swallowing rehabilitation. The outcomes were assessed by the repetitive saliva-swallowing test (RSST), water swallow test (WST), standardized swallowing assessment (SSA), and a swallow quality-of-life questionnaire (SWAL-QOL). Correlations of onset age, onset frequency and lesion location with the efficacy of the acupuncture treatment were also observed.RESULTS
The scores for RSST, WST, and SSA in both groups were lower than before the therapy (P < 0.001), although the changes were more marked in the experimental group than in the control group (RSST and WST, P< 0.005; SSA, P< 0.001). Both groups recorded changes in SWAL-QOL index after the therapy (P< 0.001); and the experimental group scored higher than the control group (P < 0.001). The efficacy of acupuncture was not correlated with location (P > 0.05), but was related to onset age (P < 0.05) and onset frequency (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION
Nape acupuncture combined with rehabilitative swallowing training has an effect on dysphagia caused by pseudobulbar palsy and improves quality of life. 相似文献13.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the inhibitory effect of Sumu (Lignum Sappan) plus Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata) (SF) on the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma.METHODS
A lung carcinoma model was established by subcutaneously inoculating Lewis lung carcinoma cells into C57BL/6 mice. The mice were randomly divided into four groups of 13 mice (control, low-dose, moderate-dose, and high-dose), and gavaged once-daily for 21 consecutive days. The rates of tumor inhibition, metastasis, and metastasis inhibition were observed. The differential expressions of sP-selectin and vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) were compared between the treatment groups and the control group.RESULTS
The tumor weights differed significantly between the treatment groups and the control group (P < 0.05). Administration of SF in the moderate-dosage and low-dose groups significantly inhibited the expression of sP-selectin and VEGFC (both P < 0.05), suggesting anti-tumor activity.CONCLUSION
SF can inhibit the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma. 相似文献15.

Objective
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine formula HB01 on exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients who received HB01 for 6 months by analyzing relative indexes.Methods
From July 2006 to August 2015, 139 eligible exudative AMD patients (183 eyes) were enrolled into this study and received aqueous extract from herbs of HB01 by oral twice a day (100 mL for once) for 6 months. The best corrected visual acuity, center macular thickness (CMT), hemorrhage area, fluorescein leakage area as the main outcomes were estimated and compared before and after treatment.Results
After 3 and 6 months of treatment, visual acuity obtained a greater improvement (P < 0.01). After 1, 3 and 6 months of treatment, CMT obviously decreased (P < 0.05). After 3 and 6 months of treatment, the hemorrhage area and fluorescein leakage area also significantly narrowed (P < 0.01). During treatment, no significant adverse events relating to HB01 treatment were elucidated.Conclusion
On the basis of these results, HB01 could improve visual acuity, and reduce hemorrhage and fluorescein leakage of patients with exudative AMD, which may be an effective alternative and supportive treatment for exudative AMD. 相似文献16.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effects of Danhong injection (DHI) with different doses on ischemic stroke.METHODS
Chinese hospital registered DHI study is a perspective observational study, in which a total of 1292 patients with ischemic stroke were treated with DHI. Two different doses of DHI were used in the present study. The patients were matched by acute phase of ischemic stroke (within 2 weeks after onset), partial anterior circulation infraction, sex, age, and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score. Finally 148 patients were grouped into the 20 or 40 mL DHI group with 74 in each. The primary endpoint was the improvement of NIHSS score at 14-day after treatment.RESULTS
Of the 148 patients with ischemic stroke, the 74 in the 40 mL DHI group had clinically important improvements in the NIHSS score. The baseline and 14-day NIHSS score for the 40 mL DHI group were 6.6 ± 4.3 and 2.4 ± 2.5 respectively, versus 6.3 ± 5.7 and 3.6 ± 4.2, for the 20 mL DHI group (change from baseline in the 40 mL DHI group vs change from baseline in the 20 mL DHI group, ?1.49 points; P = 0.029). Improvements were maintained after the baseline characteristics and other drugs were controlled (P = 0.012). No adverse events were observed.CONCLUSION
Effects of DHI on partial anterior circulation infarction in patients with acute phase of ischemic stroke is dose-dependent; however, further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate our findings (Chinese Clinical Trial Register, Number: ChiCTR-ONC-13003230). 相似文献17.

Objective
To evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), quality of life and immune status of patients with malignant tumors.Methods
From Jan, 2013 to May, 2014, 37 patients with malignant tumors were included in this prospective single-blinded study, and randomized to receive either electroacupuncture or acupuncture treatment on basis of chemotherapy. The chemotherapy was continued for 2 courses as previous before the treatments, with 21 days as a course of treatment. Patients received acupuncture and electroacupuncture once per day starting at the day before chemotherapy for consecutive 7 days followed by 14 days off, with 21 days as a course of treatment, and continued for two courses of treatment. Then CIPN, traditional Chinese clinical symptoms, quality of life and immune status were all evaluated for each patient prior treatment and after two courses of treatment.Results
The gender, age, cancer species as well as incidence (83.3% vs 84.2%) and grades of CIPN before treatments were all similar in patients receiving acupuncture or electroacupuncture (all P > 0.05). After treatments, most patients with peripheral neuropathy were cured by two courses of electroacupuncture (84.2% vs 21.1%), whereas the other group of patients had similar incidences of peripheral neuropathy compared with prior-acupuncture (83.3% vs 72.2%). Besides, patients receiving electroacupuncture had lower incidence of peripheral neuropathy than those receiving acupuncture treatment (χ2 = 9.745, P = 0.002). The grades of peripheral neuropathy were significantly different in the two groups post-treatment (χ2 = 13.983, P = 0.007). The total effective rates for traditional Chinese clinical symptoms were 16.7% and 84.2% in acupuncture and electroacupuncture groups, respectively (Z = – 4.239, P < 0.001). The electroacupuncture treatment provided a more satisfactory life for patients compared with acupuncture (Z = – 4.76, P < 0.001). Both electroacupuncture and acupuncture had no effects on immune function.Conclusion
Electroacupuncture could alleviate CIPN, and improve traditional Chinese clinical symptoms and quality of life, but did not affect immune function. 相似文献18.

Objective
To evaluate the effect of the traditional Chinese procedure abdominal Tuina (AT) on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).Methods
This randomized, single assessor-blinded clinical trial was carried out from May 2014 to April 2015. Eighty participants in the trial were divided randomly into two groups: experimental group and control. The experimental group (40 cases) was treated by AT and the control group (40 cases) by acupuncture. Each treatment was conducted once a day, 5 d for one course, at an interval of 2 d between each course. The whole treatment course lasted for 4 weeks. To ascertain the effect of AT and acupuncture, Fatigue Scale-14 (FS-14), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) scores were used before and after treatment. Patients were followed up for 3 months after treatment.Results
After treatment for 4 weeks, 77 patients (39 cases in the experimental group and 38 cases in the control group) completed the trial. The FS-14, SAS and HAMD scores decreased (P < 0.05) significantly compared with those before treatment in both groups. The FS-14 and HAMD (P < 0.05) scores in the experimental group were much lower than those in the control group. The difference in SAS scores between the two groups was not significant. In the final follow-up, CFS in two cases in the experimental group and three in the control group recurred, but the difference was not significant. The scores for the FS-14, SAS and HAMD in the experimental group were superior to those of the control group, and the difference was significant (P < 0.05). No serious adverse events and few adverse events were observed.Conclusion
AT elicited a more efficacious effect than acupuncture alone on CFS. 相似文献19.

Objective
To investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic schizophrenia and co-morbid sleep disorders.Methods
A 42-year-old German male outpatient, suffering from long-term schizophrenia and sleep disorders, entered the study. Acupuncture was used as a non-pharmacological intervention. In addition to his ongoing Western Medicine (pharmacological) treatment, the patient received 12 weekly (non-standardized) acupuncture treatments in the clinic. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis, the psychological assessment and the actiwatch data were compared before and after the acupuncture treatment.Results
The TCM diagnosis revealed a Liver Fire pattern before the acupuncture treatment, which was still present, although to a lesser degree, after the treatment. The psychological assessment revealed no change in the positive symptoms, but a small decrease in the negative symptoms and the general psychopathology of the patient. This was further illustrated by the small decrease in the number of depressive symptoms. The subjective sleep disorders improved markedly after acupuncture treatment, but the daytime sleepiness did not. The actiwatch results showed that after acupuncture treatment, the patient was moving less during sleep, but no significant results were found for the other sleep parameters.Conclusion
Acupuncture was found to be an effective non-pharmacological add-on method for treating subjective sleep disorders, and, to a lesser degree, objective sleep disorders and the negative symptoms of chronic schizophrenia. Future larger clinical trials with follow-up measurements are needed in order to replicate the present preliminary beneficial acupuncture findings and in order to determine whether the observed effects can be sustained. 相似文献20.
