PROGRESS AND PERSPECTIVE OF ACUPUNCTURE AND MOXIBUSTION IN DELAYING SENILITY

In this paper, we reviewed the developing history of delaying senility of acupunctureand moxibustion, summarized 41 reports about the effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on elderly,normal subject and the "deficiency syndrome" model animal, and expounded the rnechanisms in the aspects of immunology, endocrinology and biology. In addition, we also discussed the influence fac-tors and the developing trends of delaying senility of acupuncture and moxibustion in corning years.     

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.     

SYMPATHETIC REGULATION AND ACUPUNCTURE ANALGESIA IN ARTHRITIC RATS

In the present study,6-hydroxydopamine(6-OHDA),a peripheral adrenergicdepleting agent,was used to investigate the role of sympathetic activity in nociception and pain modu-lation,which was reported with some contradictory.Acute arthritis were induced by an injection ofFruend's adjuvant in thirty-two rats.They were divided into three groups.Natural recovery fromarthritis(redness,swelling,on-going pain and hyperalgesia)was delayed by pretreatment with an in-jection of 6-OHDA,and acupuncture at Huantiao and Shensu points could accelerate its recovery.It issuggested that sympathetic regulatory system might play an important role in natural normalizationaction and in the acupuncture-induced regulation effects.

APPLICATION OF ACUPUNCTURE ANESTHESIA TO APPENDECTOMY AND COMMENTS ON THE OPERATION AND ITS POSSIBLE MECHANISMS

Objectives: To observe the analgesic effect and to analyze the related mechanisms of acupuncture anesthesia (AA) for appendectomy. Methods: A total of 41 cases of appendicitis patients (24 males and 17 females) were subjected into this observation. Electroacupuncture (AA, 60-100 Hz, a bearable stimulus strength) of Pishu (BL 20), Weishu (BL 21 ), Zhangrnen (LR 13) and Wushu (GB 27) was performed beginning 30 minutes before operation. Adjuvants used were luminal ( 100 mg, intra-muscular injection), dolantin ( 1 mg/kg), 0.5% procaine (1-2 mL). Resuits: Of the 41 cases, the successful rate was 87.80% and the excellent plus good rate was 75.61% respectively. Conclusion: Acupuncture anesthesia is applicable for appendectomy in clinic but is still to be improved further in operation.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACUPUNCTURE ANALGESIA AND MET- ENKEPHALIN OR DYNORPHIN

subjective: The effect of 4～5 Hz electroacupuncture (EA) on alterations of both met-enkephalin (MEK) and dynorphin (Dyn) in the patient plasma or mouse spinal cord and its relation with analgesic effect were studied. Methods: In acupuncture clinic 10 patients with acute pain were treated with 4 Hz EA at Zusanli(ST 36) and/or Hegu(LI 4) acupoints for 30 min. 20 BALB/C mice were randomly divided into 2 groups: a. EA group(n=10), treated with 4～5 Hz EA at bilateral “Zusanli“(ST 36) for 15 min; b. control group(n=10) treated with no EA, but also restrained for 15 min. Before and after EA or restraining acupoints, the pain threshold of the patients or mice was detected. 10 μI of the patient plasma before and after EA and each mouse spinal cord suspension, of the 2 groups were blotted onto nitrocellulose membrane (NCM) respectively. The protein dot blot signals were detected by immunoreactivity (IR) and using Shimadu TLC Scanner and analyzed statistically. Results: The results showed that an increase in patient plasma MEK-IR or Dyn-IR and a decrease in mouse spinal MEK-IR or Dyn-IR could be detected, and the alteration of plasma or spinal MEK-IR was more significant than that of plasma or spinal Dyn-IR. There was a positive correlation in alteration between plasma or spinal MEK-IR and plasma or spinal Dyn-IR with respective parallel levels in individuals. The increased plasma MEK-IR or the decreased spinal MEK-IR was positively or negatively correlated with the analgesic effect, while the correlation between plasma or spinal Dyn-IR and analgesic effect was insignificant. Conclusion: The results suggest that under lower frequency EA the met-enkephalin may play an important role in analgesia.     

CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF ISCHIALGIA TREATED BY ACUPUNCTURE

42 cases with ischialgia were divided into two groups at random,in which 30cases were treated by acupuncture,12 cases treated by Chinese herbs.The result showed thatacupuncture therapy was morm effective than the Chinese herbs.The experimental study indicatedthat the concentration of peripheral plasma 5-HT was markedly higher than normal value beforeacupuncture treatment,whereas its concentration declined significantly after treatment.(P<0.05)

ACUPUNCTURE IN RELIEF OF PAIN AND HEALING OF GANGRENE OF LIMBS

Pain and gangrene in limbs due to Buerger's disease, Raynaud's phenomenon andatherosclerosis are a great problern to manage in modern medicine. Vasodilators, sympathectomy andprogressive amputations cannot solve the problem. Electr0acupuncture shows very good results so that drugs and surgery may be spared. Total 32 cases (Buerger's 27, Raynaud's 4, atherosc1erosis 1 )were treated with acupuncture needling and electrostimulation. Acupoints used were Weizhong (BL4O ), Taixi (KI 3), Zusanli (ST 36), Jiexi (ST 41 ), Bafeng (Extra), Neiguan (PC 6), Hegu (LI4 ), Baxie (Extra) . The frequency of electrostimulation at acupoints was 100- 500 cycles per minute.Daily treatment was carried out the first 1O days, then the times of treatment reduced. The therapywas maintained once in two beths. Of 27 cases of Buerger's disease, 19 cases (82. 6 % ) were healed. Pain was relieved but uker not healed in 1 case (4. 3% ). Failure was 3 (13% ). 3/4 (75 % ) ofRaynaud's cases, pain and gungrene were fully control1ed; the oth
