环跳与阳陵泉穴相关性的研究

环跳、阳陵泉穴同属足少阳胆经腧穴,二者在穴性及临床主治等方面有一定的相似性和协同性,本文试从针刺前后穴温改变的角度以探求其相关性。一、临床资料临床观察20例,其中住院病人11例,门诊病人9例,男性10例,女性10例,年龄最小者21岁,最大82岁,所选病材,中风后遗症12例,腰腿痛8例,病程最短1个月,最长20年。二、实验方法选穴:环跳、阳陵泉(均为患侧)。手法(邵经明教授经验手法):依病情和穴位深浅按常规操作刺入一定深度,得气后,将针缓缓提至皮下,稍停,复将针剌入原来深度,待气至,意在右手拇指向前,食指向后捻针,紧持针柄,固定不动,聚精会神,     

睡眠障碍动物实验指标选取状况及分析

人类需要睡眠,这是生物学选择的结果.睡眠是人体的一种特殊的运动形式,是人体所具有的一种规律性的自我保护性抑制,睡眠的功能在于促进脑功能的发育和发展,保存脑的能量,巩固记忆及保证大脑发挥最佳动能状态,促进机体生长且延缓衰老,增强机体的免疫机制,保护中枢神经系统.     

透灸法治验三则

临床常见的头痛、眩晕、失眠等严重影响了人们的生活质量。针灸作为一种安全有效的治疗方法有其独特的优势。笔者根据多年的临床经验总结出透灸法，透灸的关键是艾灸过程中出现温热感向组织深部透达，当艾灸达到一定量时可出现感传，感传呈线状、带状分布，或从施灸的腧穴循经向远端传导，或向组织深部透达[1]。运用此法透灸头部穴位，热感逐步从头皮向内渗透，致整个头部发热，且热感向其他部位传导，患者顿觉得头目清醒，精神良好，收效颇著。     

无烟型颈关节艾灸箱的应用与设计

艾灸箱由箱体、活动盖板、铁丝防护网、虑烟罩等部分组成。箱体为下部开口的中空体,箱体的上部有翻转的活动盖板,箱体前部侧壁上开有与人体颈部相对应的第一缺口,箱体后部的侧壁上开有与人体肩部相对应的第二缺口,箱体内中部装有水平的防护网,用来承托艾条和艾灰,虑烟罩包裹箱体,用于虑烟。此灸箱可对人体颈部施灸,艾灸效果好且舒适无烟。     

瘢痕灸对失眠模型大鼠血清褪黑素及神经肽Y含量表达影响的研究

ObjectiveTo explore the influence of scarring moxibustion on the changes of serum melatonin (MT) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) expressions in the insomnia model rats.MethodsA total of 40 SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a scarring moxibustion group, an embedding needling group and a mild moxibustion group, 8 rats in each group. The intraperitoneal injection of p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) was adopted to establish the insomnia model rats and the corresponding interventions were given, consecutively for 6 days. Separately, before modeling and the first intervention as well as before sample collection, the body weight was measured and the serum was collected in the insomnia model rats. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of serum MT and NPY.ResultsCompared with the blank group, the body weight of rat in the model group was lower (P < 0.01) and the levels of MT and NPY were lower in the model group (both P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, in the scarring moxibustion group, the embedding needling group and the mild moxibustion group, the body weight and the levels of MT and NPY of the insomnia model rats were all higher (all P < 0.05). Compared with the embedding needling group and the mild moxibustion group, the body weight and the levels of MT and NPY the insomnia model rats were all higher in the scarring moxibustion group (all P < 0.05). In comparison between the embedding needling group and the mild moxibustion group, there were no statistical differences in the body weight and the levels of MT and NPY (all P > 0.05).ConclusionThe regulation mechanism of sleep-wake circadian rhythm may be related to the levels of serum MT and NPY in the insomnia model rats. Scarring moxibustion increases the levels of MT and NPY more effectively and displays the effect in the intervention as compared with embedding needling and mild moxibustion in the insomnia model rats.     

穴位贴敷对慢性萎缩性胃炎大鼠胃黏膜血流量、前列腺素E2的影响

目的：探讨穴位贴敷时慢性萎缩性胃炎的作用。方法：选大鼠48只分4组，3组用氨水造模后穴位贴敷及灌胃胃苏冲剂对照观察大鼠一般状态、胃黏膜血流量及前列腺素E2变化情况。结果：穴位贴敷较对照组疗效差异均有显著意义。结论：穴位贴敷对慢性萎缩性胃炎有良好的治疗作用。     

论杨继洲对针灸学的贡献

杨继洲（约1522-1620），字济时，明代针灸学家。据《卫生针灸玄机秘要》王国光叙称，他“幼业举子，博学绩文”，“祖父官太医，授有真秘”，明世宗朝，“侍内廷，功绩懋著……，声名籍甚”，又据《针灸大成》“请益”谓：“太医院医官继洲杨氏……”，可见杨氏家学渊源，曾在太医院任职医官，声望甚高。后因巡按山西监察御史赵文炳患痿痹，药未奏功，于京都延请他前往应诊，     

穴位贴敷对慢性萎缩性胃炎大鼠胃黏膜屏障功能的影响

目的：探讨穴位贴敷治疗慢性萎缩性胃炎的作用机理，为临床应用提供科学依据。方法：采用长期喂养0．02％的氨水诱发大鼠慢性萎缩性胃炎为动物模型，选取足三里、中脘穴进行穴位贴敷治疗，与口服胃苏冲剂进行对照，观察穴位贴敷对慢性萎缩性胃炎大鼠胃黏膜血流量、H^ 反弥散量及胃黏膜病理形态的影响。结果：穴位贴敷可以改善胃粘膜血流量，降低H^ 反弥散量，其作用优于药物对照组。结论：穴位贴敷对胃粘膜屏障确有保护作用，其作用可能是通过加强胃黏膜屏障功能，对抗胃黏膜损伤因子而实现的。     

穴位贴敷对慢性萎缩性胃炎大鼠胃黏膜损伤指数及病理形态的影响

慢性萎缩性胃炎（chronic atrophic gastritis，CAG）是消化系统常见的多发病、难治病之一，与胃癌的发生有密切关系。胃黏膜发生癌肿并非由正常细胞一跃而成为癌细胞，而是一个由量变到质变的多步骤癌变过程，常持续数十年时间，这给胃癌的预防创造了条件。慢性胃炎→胃黏膜萎缩→肠上皮化生→异型增生→胃痛这一发展模式已为国内外多数学者认同。当胃黏膜因生物、化学、物理的原因，或黏膜本身的机能退化而受损时，则可引发或加重CAG的发生和发展。
