The LIDH pathological model of rabbit was established using the self-made LIDH model maker. The thigmesthesia and gait function of rabbits were recorded by Siegal method. The serum IgG and IgM expression levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: EA at Huantiao (GB 30) and Weizhong (BL 40) could improve the clinical symptoms of thigmesthesia and gait function, and inhibit the expressions of serum IgG and IgM in the LIDH rabbits, which were significantly different compared with those in the model group and EA at non-acupoint group. Conclusion: EA at Huantiao (GB 30) and Weizhong (BL 40) can improve the clinical symptoms of LIDH rabbits, which is associated with inhibition of the serum IgG and IgM expressions and reduction of the immunoinflammatory factor release. This may be one of the mechanisms of EA at Huantiao (GB 301 and Weizhong[BL 407 in the treatment of LIDH.展开更多

Methods: Forty-two cases of patients with chronic prostatitis were treated with deep acupuncture at Huantiao (GB 30) combined with adjunct acupoints on the base of syndrome differentiation. Ten times treatment was a course, and effects were evaluated after two courses. Results: Among all the 42 cases, 29 cases were cured, 9 cases were improved and 4 cases were invalid, and the total effective rate was 90.5%. Conclusion: It has good effect of deep acupuncture at Huantiao (GB 30) as major acupoint combined with adjunct acupoints on the base of syndrome differentiation for patients with chronic prostatitis.展开更多
