Another 51 cases used as control group weretreated with routine needling method. In the experimental group, the treatment was conducted 20times at most and 5 times at least. After an average of 13 times of treatment, the cured patients constituted 88. 33 % and the effective rate was 99. 16%. In the control group, the treatment was performed for 40 fimes at most, 10 times at least and 25 times on the average. The cure rate was 50. 98 %and the total effective rate 94. 12%. Comparison between the two groups showed a very significantdifference (X2 = 28. 38, P＜0.01 ) in the cure rate. It is cqncluded that deep insertion of the needle atYaoyangguan (GV 3) plus electrical stimulation is faster and stable in producing therapeutic effect.展开更多

Methods In 79 cases of lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion （LIDP） patients, infrared thermograms of the lumbar and back region were taken with a thermal texture maps（TTM） method at a natural state, followed by a heat-sensitive detection with moxibustion method [moxibustion was given at Yaoyangguan （腰阳关GV 3） area for 10 min]. The cases with thermal diffusion and heat transfer on the Yaoyangguan （腰阳关GV 3） area were recorded after ceasing of the suspended moxibustion. Then the infrared thermograms were taken by TTM for the second time, and the changes of infrared thermograms of the waist-back region before and after moxibustion were recorded. Finally, the differences between moxibustion and infrared detection methods in the heat-sensitive state on Yaoyangguan （腰阳关GV 3） area were compared in the LIDP patients. Results Before moxibustion, the infrared radiation intensity most displayed high-temperature characteristics on the Yaoyangguan （腰阳关GV 3） area in the LIDP patients. Compared with the moxibustion method, the sensitivity（true positive rate） was 86.4%, the specificity （true negative rate） was 70.0%, and the accuracy was 82.3%; after moxibustion at the Yaoyangguan （腰阳关GV 3） area, the infrared radiation enhanced area obviously extended vertically along the medial waist-back （the Governor Vessel） or horizontally along the Belt Vessel. Compared with the moxibustion method, the sensitivity （true positive rate） was 79.7%, the specificity （true negative rate） was 75.0% and the accuracy was 78.5%. Conclusion The HS state of Yaoyangguan （腰阳关GV 3） area in the LIDP patients can be objectively displayed by the infrared imaging to a certain extent; moxibustion at the HS acupoint produces the thermal phenomena, such as thermal expansion and heat transfer, which can be objectively displayed to a certain extent by the infrared imaging apart from the subjective feeling of the subject.展开更多

It masters the Yin and Yang of the body cooperating with Conception Vessel. Acupoints on Governor Vessel have been used widely in clinic. The author expounded the functional feature of Yaoyangguan （GV 3）, Mingmen （GV 4）, Zhiyang （GV 9）, Dazhui （GV 14） and Baihui （GV 20）, which can show the characteristic of Governor Vessel and provide reference for clinical application.展开更多
