After treatment, the neurological functions of the patient obviously recovered, Hamilton Depression（HAMD）Scale（17 items） score reduced, the levels of tumor necrosis factor and hypersensitive C-reactive protein both declined, and all the indicators were improved significantly, indicating that the curative effect of acupuncture combined with TCM five-element music therapy on this PSD patient was significant, and this treatment method was worthy of further exploration.展开更多

Method： Separate the laboratory rats into Group A （model group, n= 45） and Group B（model ＋ electroacupuncture group, n = 45）. observe injured lumbar nerve tissue with optic microscope and electron microscope and measure the content of PGE2 and 5-HT. Results： Hyperemia around the nerve tissue, edema and nerve root demyelination of electroacupuncture 15 day （Group B） is less than model group 15 day （Group A）. The structure of Schwann cell is normal. Demyelination of electroacupuncture 30 day group （Group B） becomes slight and the nerve edema alleviates. In the Group B, contents of PGE2. and 5-HT after electroacupuncture obviously decrease compared to the Group A. Conclusion： Electroacupuncture can alleviates inflammatory reaction around the injured lumbar nerve and improve the ultra-micro structure of lumbar nerve root.展开更多
