EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE ON SERUM TNF—α ACTIVITY IN ALLERGIC BRONCHIAL ASTHMA PATIENTS

In this study, the therapeutic effect of acupuncture and its effect on serum tumor necrosis factor apha (TNF-α) level was observed in 25 cases of allergic bronchial asthma patients. Acupoints used were Dazhui (GV 14), Feishu (BL 13), Dingchuan (EX-B 1), Pishu (BL 20), Tanzhong (CV 17), Shenshu (BL 23) and Fengchi (GB 20), supplemented with other acupoints according to syndrome differentiation. After 15 sessions of treatment, results showed that the total effective rate was 96% . Before treatment, serum TNF-oc activity was significantly higher than that of healthy subjects (25 cases, P<0.01). After treatment, TNF-α level reduced considerably in comparison with that of pre-treatment (P < 0. 05). These findings indicate that acupuncture can significantly improve allergic asthma patients' clinical symptoms and lower serum TNF-α activity.     

ACUPUNCTURE RELIEVES PAIN IN REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY:PITFALLS IN THE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

Objective: Despite thousands of years of utilizing acupuncture for relief of pain, there is considerable controversy whether acupuncture deserves to be considered an efficacious modality along with medications and operations.Many publications claiming to answer this most important question have inspired more controversy regarding experimental design, designation of adequate controls and avoiding the dreaded placebo effect.Methods: We present a retrospective series of patients all of whom have severe chronic pain of the extremities with the unequivocal diagnosis of reflex sympathetic dystrophy.The patients were included if they had 15 treatments with acupuncture.The patients were treated in a single practice of acupuncture by two of the authors.There was no standardization of treatment given to each patient.The treatments were modified at each session.Objective date collected included the pain level on a 0 to 10 visual analogue scale and other functional data such as range of motion and daily activities.Results: At each treatment time, the acupuncture treatment significantly decreased the pain level from the value before the treatment to the pain level after the acupuncture treatment.Firsttreatment pre-treatment pain level: 7.43±2.15, post treatment 3.86±2.76(P0.0019).Over the course of the initial 15 treatments, the pre-treatment pain level did not significantly decline.Treatment number 15 had an average pain level of 6.5±1.51(P0.40).Conclusions: The treatment with acupuncture unequivocally caused a significant reduction in pain level on each treatment day; however, 15 treatments with acupuncture did not significantly produce a lasting effect.However, reviewing each individual charted data and analyzing the individual patient course gives a more accurate picture of the effect of acupuncture on patients with c omplex pain problems.     

EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE AT DIFFERENT ACUPOINTS ON EXPRESSION OF SERUM IFN-γ AND HYPOTHALAMIC β-EP mRNA IN RATS AFTER IMMUNOSUPPRESSION

Objective: To compare the effects of acupuncture at different acupoints on the content of serum IFN-γ and expression of hypothalamic β-EP mRNA in rats after immunosuppression, and to investigate the mechanism of acupuncture in regulating immune function.Methods: Healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, immunosuppressive group, Baihui group, Zusanli group, Baihui and Zusanli group, 8 rats in each group.Immunosuppression model was made by cyclophosphamide injection, and acupuncture was performed at Baihui(DU20) and/or Zusanli(ST36).Seven days after acupuncture, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the content of serum IFN-γ, and real-time quantitative PCR(RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of β-EP mRNA in all rats.Results: Compared with the normal control group, the levelof serum IFN-γ decreased significantly in the immunosuppressive group(P0.01).Compared with the immunosuppressive group,the content of serum IFN-γ in the Baihui group, the Zusanli group, and the Baihui and Zusanli group was improved significantly, and the Baihui and Zusanli group was better than the other two groups(P0.05).Compared with the normal control group, the expression of hypothalamus β-EP mRNA was decreased significantly(P0.01).Compared with the immunosuppressive group, the expression of hypothalamic β-EP mRNA in the Baihui group, the Zusanli group, and the Baihui and Zusanli group was promoted significantly, and the Baihui and Zusanli group was better than the other two groups(P0.05).Conclusion: The content of serum IFN-γ and expression of hypothalamic β-EP mRNA were increased in rats after immunosuppression by acupuncturing Baihui(DU20) and Zusanli(ST36), which may be one of the mechanisms of enhancing the immune function.     

Effect of bloodletting therapy at local myofascial trigger points and acupuncture at Jiaji(EX-B 2) points on upper back myofascial pain syndrome: a randomized controlled trial

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy of bloodletting therapy and acupuncture at Jiaji points for treating upper back myofascial pain syndrome(MPS), and compare this with lidocaine block therapy.METHODS: A total of 66 upper back MPS patients were randomly assigned to either the treatment group or the control group in a 1∶1 ratio. The treatment group(n = 33) were treated with bloodletting therapy at local myofascial trigger points and acupuncture at Jiaji(EX-B 2) points; one treatment course consisted of five, single 20-min-treatments with a 2-day break between each treatment. The control group(n = 33) were treated with a lidocaine block at trigger points; one treatment course consisted of five sessions of lidocaine block therapy with a 2-day break between each session. The simplified Mc Gill Scale(SF-MPQ) and tenderness threshold determination were used to assess pain before and after a course of treatment.RESULTS: After the third and fifth treatment, the SF-MPQ values were significantly decreased(P 0.01) and the tenderness thresholds were significantly increased(P 0.01) in both groups compared with before treatment. There were no significant differences in pain assessments between the two groups after three and five treatments(P 0.05). There were five cases with minor adverse reactions reported in the control patients, while no adverse reactions were reported in the treatment group.CONCLUSION: Bloodletting therapy at local myofascial trigger points and acupuncture at Jiaji points was effective in treating upper back MPS.Clinically, bloodletting and acupuncture therapy had the same efficacy as the lidocaine block therapy, with fewer adverse reactions.
