CLINICAL OBSERVATION OF THE EFFECT OF HEALTH-PRESERVING MOXIBUSTION ON DELAYING AGING

The present paper reports a clinical observation of the effect of health-preservingmoxibustion in the aged people without apparent organic diseases. Results show that the health-preserving moxibustion has an evident action in lessening aging symptoms and improving physio-logic functions of the senile body. It is held in traditional Chinese medicine that from the middle-aged period on, the decline of kidney Qi is an important cause of senility and deficiency of thespleen and blood stasis also play a role in some degree. Health-preserving moxibustion ofShenque and Zusanli has actions in warming Yang, reinforcing Qi and promoting blood circulationto remove obstruction in meridians. It is thus a method for self health protection.

THE APPLICATION AND PROGRESS OF MEDICAL IMAGING TECHNIQUES IN ACUPUNCTURE AND MOXIBUSTION RESEARCH

Objective: Medical imaging techniques(MITs) provide various useful methods for acupuncture and moxibustion(AM) research.This article aims at summarizing and analyzing the application and developing trend of MITs in AM research at home and abroad, so that researchers could bring in some inspirations and evidence for further studies.Methods: Through Google Scholar searching, MIT- and AMrelated literature was selected and reviewed.It covers meridiansacupoints fundamental research, action mechanisms and clinical efficacy studies.Various MITs including nuclear imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI), optical and ultrasound(OU) imaging were analyzed in details.The current achievements of MIT application were summarized and analyzed, and the developing trend was evaluated.Results:(1) The application of MITs in AM research has been experienced the transformation from structural and macroscopic imaging to functional and molecular imaging; positron emission tomography(PET) with MRI marks the highest level of MITs.Besides, fMRI was used most frequently and studied most deeply, single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) and PET seemed have attracted more attention, and OU functional and molecular imaging were new, but promising.Optical molecular imaging might become the most promising method in AM central and peripheral mechanism research.(2) MIT research proved that Qi flows along meridians, and confirmed the effects of AM therapy.Studies of more in-depth mechanisms explaining central nervous system involved in AM analgesia and DEQI were carried out.(3) The subjects of functional brain imaging(fBI) studies have been gradually inclined to patients, not healthy volunteers as previously.The methods were still mainly based on observing immediate effects of single acupoint stimulation, and the experimental repeatability was poor which was affected by complicated factors.Conclusion: MITs are playing an important role in AM research.fBI and molecular imaging would contribute greatly to the research of AM mechanisms and meridian essence theory.

TREATMENT OF 46 CASES OF PERIPHERAL FACIAL PARALYSIS WITH HAND ACUPUNCTURE，MOXIBUSTION AND ELECTROACUPUNCTURE

In the present paper,the therapeutic effect of hand acupuncture,moxibustion and electroacupuncture (EA) is observed in the treatment of 46 cases of peripheral facial paralysis(treatment group)and compared with that of Western medicines(prednisone,Vitamin B1 and B12,dibazol)in other 42 facial palsy patients.Acupoints used are Fenchi(GB20),Yifeng(TE17),Taiyang(LR3),Yangbai(GB14),Cuanzhu(BL2),Yingxiang(LI20),Dicang(ST4),Shuigou(GV26),Chengjiang(CV24),Xiaguan(ST7)and jiache(ST6),Following 20-30 sessions of treatment,results show that the therapeutic effect of treatment group is significantly superior to that of Western medicine group and the therapeutic duration of the former group is shorter.     

EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE AND THE CLINICAL STUDY ON ACUPUNCTURE AND MOXIBUSTION

In this article, the authors hold that the evidence-based medicine(EBM) is a new medical action produced at the historic moment in clinical practice, which is promoting development of the medicine and even the whole life science in a fully new train of thought end method. Further the briefly introduced contents are the effect of EBM, the difficulty of utilizing in the acupuncture clinical practice and how to resolve them. It is highly recommended that the doctors of the acupuncture science field should study EBM and its effect and difficulties in practice as earlier as possible, insistently assimilate new knowledge and keep abreast of the times‘ progress to facilitate the further development of acupunctology.     

PREVENTIVE EFFECTS ON SENILE ANEMIA IN RATS BY MOXIBUSTION

The aim of the present study is to observe the preventive effects of moxibustion onseniIe anemia in rats and certify the anti-aging effects of moxibustion. The results show that thehemoglobin in 20 months old rats is lower than that in young rats, and the osmotic fragility and thehematocrit are higher than those in young rats. The hernoglobin in moxibustion group rats is signifi-cantly higher than that in old group, and the osmotic fragility and the hematocrit are markedly lowerthan those in old group, suggesting that moxibustion can delay the age-related changes of erythrocytein the rat and decrease the incidence rate of senile anemia of rat.
