Based on the theory of Zangfu organs and meridians, it draws on the essence of the academics of doctors in the past dynasties, especially the important theory of Huangdi Neijing to guide the clinical practice of acupuncture and moxibustion. This paper introduces the academic thought of HE's tube acupuncture. Mr HE believes that the pathogenesis of vertigo is mainly the first, kidney essence is deficient, and the heart fire burns alone,therefore disharmony occurs between heart and kidney. Secondly, liver and kidney Yin's deficiency, Yin is deficient while Yang is hyperactive or Yin is deficient and wind. Thirdly, the spleen Qi is deficient, Qingyang fails to ascend, and the main Zangfu organs are responsible for the liver, spleen and kidney. In the treatment, it emphasizes the characteristics of TCM paying attention to the whole, syndrome differentiation and treatment, selects the principal acupuncture points of the bladder meridian of foot Taiyang, kidney meridian of foot Shaoyin, hand Jueyin pericardium meridian, heart meridian of hand Shaoyin, include Kunlun(BL60), Yongquan(KI1), Neiguan(PC6), Fuliu(KI7), Daling(PC7),Shenmen(HT7), Shenmai(BL62), Tianzhu(BL10), Baihui(GV20), Beiyu points, etc. Finally, combined with the actual medical records,the clinical effect of HE's tube acupuncture technique in the treatment of vertigo is explained in detail.展开更多

Methods A total of 60 patients with depression were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 30 cases each. The treatment group was treated with warming needle technique on the Jiaji points of the heart, lung, liver, spleen and kidney, control group with Amitriptyline, HAMD scale and the qualitative change of EEG-α wave were observed before and after the treatment. Results The total effective rate of treatment group was 100%, much better than that of the control group with 80% (P<0.05); the HAMD scale of treatment group was better than that of control group (P<0.05); the comparison of the improvement of somatic symptoms between treatment group and control group was significant (P<0.05); the comparison of frequency and amplitude of EEG-α wave was significant (P<0.05), there was no toxic and side effect in the treatment group. Conclusion Warming needling technique for depression has better effect than Amitriptyline, and there was no toxic and side effect in the treatment group. Warming needle technique can effectively regulate the frequency and amplitude EEG-α wave, and acts to improve depressive condition.展开更多

A difference in curative effect was investigated between different numbers of treatments.Results The clinical cure rate reached 15.2% just after ≤10 (7.3±1.3) treatments. The curative effect was significantly better after 20–40 (32.1±5.8) treatments than after ≤10 (7.3±1.3) treatments ({ie19-1},P<0.05).
