By mathematical analysis, both the relations among the ratios of the components and the condition for the ratio of MRST changing continuously were obtained. With the help of two examples, the correctness was proved.展开更多

METHODS: Patients with primary dysmenorrhea were enrolled and randomly assigned to a treatment or control group. Subjects' symptoms were differentiated into variousTraditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) syndromes and treated for 10 sessions with puncturing acupuncture or self-pressing right-hand Hegu(LI 4), adding other acupoints based on syndrome. Laser speckle was used to compare the change in the vasomotor amplitude and perfusion of the capillaries in Hegu(LI 4) before and during the treatment. Each subject was required to finish the period pain symptoms observation form, verbal rating scales, numerical rating scale, pain rating index, face rating scale, Zung self-rating depression scale, Zung self-rating anxiety scale, and numerical rating scale before and after treatments. RESULTS: After 10 sessions, the symptom scores, pain index(PI), and visual analog scale(VAS) decreased significantly in treatment group. The volume of blood flow in Hegu(LI 4) declined slightly. No significant evidence supported that needling caused capillary contraction, but the capillary vasomotor amplitude at Hegu(LI 4) increased remarkably. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture can increase the capillary blood flow, thus promoting the flow of Qi and blood in terms of TCM theory, which facilitates pain relief.展开更多

HAM is an algorithm which gives us the approximate solution of the problem in an arrangement of time interims and by modifying it to multistage one. Some advantages such as flexibility of picking the auxiliary linear operator and the auxiliary parameter are emerged, that leads us to achieve some excellent results in this work. Furthermore, in this analyti- cal work, obtained results are compared and reported with numerical ones which were obtained previously from methods such as the Runge-Kutta (RK4) method.展开更多
