Methods Acupuncture was applied to Tianshu (天枢 ST 25)) in 39 patients. The individualized standard depth of insertion at the acupoint was determined as the penetrating the peritoneum with needle by 1 to 2 mm. The regression analysis was adopted to analyze the impacts of abdominal circumference (AC, cm) on the peritoneal position via CT cross-section scanning and image survey. Results The formula of rational needling depth at Tianshu (天枢 ST 25) with individualized deep acupuncture was: depth=-0.562+0.045. AC. Conclusion The depth of insertion at Tianshu (天枢 ST 25), determined as penetrating the peritoneum with needle by 1 to 2 mm is safe and feasible, which may be applicable and have the guidance significance for the assessment of clinical operation and safety on the deep acupuncture at the other acupoints on the abdominal region.展开更多

Methods: 103 D-IBS matched the involved standards were allocated into treatment group (EA on ST 25, n=53) and control group (EA on Daheng, SP 15, n=50) in randomized, controlled and single-blind ways. Curative effect differences were analyzed by Ridit analysis. Results: The incidence of diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal distention or abdominal discomfort, borborygmus, defecation urgency and defecation incompletion feeling were 100%, 89.3%, 71.8%, 74.8%, 83.5% and 78.6% respectively in D-IBS. Generally, after treatment, 11 cases got excellent results, 34 cases improved and 8 failed in treatment group, totally effective rate was 84.9%; while in control group, 4 cases got excellent effects, 26 improved and 20 failed, totally the effective rate was 60.0%. Conclusion: Compared with control group, EA on Tianshu (ST 25) has a better curative effect on D-IBS.展开更多

To identify the optimal quantity of warming moxibustion Tianshu(ST 25, bilateral) and Qihai(CV 6) to achieve optimal efficacy.METHODS: An L9(3~4) 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 for41-50-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(ST25, 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.展开更多

Except for the normal group, rats in the other two groups were clystered with mixed liquor of Trinitrobenzene Sulfonic Acid (TNBS) and 50%ethanol to induce the chronic inflammatory visceral pain model. After the models were established successfully, rats in the HPM group were treated with HPM at bilateral Tianshu (ST 25) and Qihai (CV 6). Rats in the normal group and the model group were only fixed as those in the HPM group without treatment. Abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) score, mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were adopted to detect the visceral and somatic pain;meanwhile, open field test (OFT) and elevated plus maze test (EPMT) were employed to evaluate pain emotions such as depression and anxiety. 〈br〉 Results:Compared with the normal group, AWR scores of the model group were significantly increased under different stimulus expansion pressure level (P〈0.01), MWT and TWL were significantly decreased (P〈0.05);in OFT, the values of horizontal activities and vertical activities were significantly decreased (P〈0.01);in EPMT, the proportion of the number of entry into the open arms (OE%) and that of residence time in the open arms (OT%) significantly decreased (P〈0.01), indicating that the model was successful. Compared with the model group, the AWR score of the HPM group was decreased significantly (P〈0.05), MWT and TWL were significantly increased (P〈0.05), the values of horizontal activities and vertical activities in the model group were significantly increased (P〈0.01);in OFT and EPMT, OE%and OT%were significantly increased (P〈0.01). 〈br〉 Conclusion:HPM has analgesic effect on chronic inflammatory visceral pain. It can reduce the visceral and somatic pain in rats and markedly improve the emotions such as anxiety and depression induced by chronic visceral pain.展开更多

Methods: Medicinal cake based on pattern identification was used to conduct moxibustion on Tianshu (ST 25). Results: After three courses of treatment, the recovery and marked effect rates reached 83.9%. The recovery and marked effect rates in those within 1-year duration reached 94.4%, including the recovery rate of 50.0%. This result is significantly better than those with longer than 1-year duration (P〈0.01). The recovery and marked effect rates of acne vulgaris due to damp-heat in the stomach and intestine were superior to that due to wind-heat in the lung meridian (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Medicinal cake-partitioned moxibustion can obtain a better effect for acne vulgaris. The earlier the treatment starts, the better the effect gets. In addition, this therapy works better for acne vulgaris due to damp-heat in the stomach and intestine than wind-heat in the lung meridian.展开更多

Methods: Two-hundred cases with chronic diarrhea were divided randomly into a treatment group and a control group. 100 cases in the treatment group were treated with needle warming moxibustion on specific acupoints. 100 cases in the control group were treated by oral administration of Smecta. Results: The therapeutic results showed cure in 52 cases, remarkable effect in 34 cases, improvement in 14 cases and the total effective rate in 100.0% in the treatment group, and cure in 5 cases, remarkable effect in 23 cases, improvement in 33 cases, failure in 39 cases and the total effective rate in 61.0% in the control group. The comparison of the total effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P〈0.05). Conclusion: The needle warming moxibustion on specific acupoints is better than oral administration of Smecta in the therapeutic effects.展开更多
