METHOD: 36 male rabbits with a 3-mm width experimental defect in the middle segment of the left radius were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group, and the changes in serum T3, T4 and TSH contents in different weeks were investigated. RESULTS: Serum T3, T4 and TSH contents in the treatment group all were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences in the contents of T4 and TSH in the second week and T3 content in the fourth week (P展开更多
Effects of electroacupuncture (EA) and routine acupuncture with twirling reinforcing and reducing manipulation of the needle (RA) both at Zusanli point (St 36) on volume of microcirculatory blood flow in the cerebral ...Effects of electroacupuncture (EA) and routine acupuncture with twirling reinforcing and reducing manipulation of the needle (RA) both at Zusanli point (St 36) on volume of microcirculatory blood flow in the cerebral pia mater were observed by fenestration of the cranial bone and laser Doppler microcirculatory blood flow analyser. Results showed that both RA and EA could increase the volume of microcirculatory blood flow in the cerebral pia mater; and that the increase in the EA group was superior to that in RA group. This suggests that a moderate and effective stimulation is a key to the production of a regulative effect on the organism.展开更多

Its working mechanism is activated through heat-induced local thermal stimulation. By reviewing and compiling clear, scientific analysis of the biological and physiological effects from local thermal heat, the authors provides a coherent and systemic source to aid us to form an understanding of the mechanism of moxibustion’s promotion of qi and blood circulation throughout the body from local thermal stimulation. This has been done by a rigorous review of previous studies of the thermal effect on the body. The following presents the local, distal and systemic biological effects from local thermal stimulation while also discussing the similarities and differences between local thermal stimulation and moxibustion.展开更多

Method： By the method to analyze the literature, the literature on treatment of sports fatigue in the recent 20 years was summarized and analyzed. Results and Conclusion： Acupuncture therapy is able to eliminate free radicals, resist lipid peroxidation, prevent dysfunction of the motor hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, reduce the creatine kinase content, and lower lactic acid concentration, so as to play an important role in the elimination of sports fatigue and improvement of athletic ability of the body. But, traditional acupuncture therapy will cause minor injury to the human body, it is necessary to popularize the painless acupuncture therapy, and explore the functional mechanism of acupuncture therapy in the treatment and prevention of sport fatigue by multiple channels in the future.展开更多

Methods： Seventy-six patients with insomnia were randomly divided into 38 cases in the treatment group and 38 cases into the control group. The main acupoints for the treatment group were Baihui （GV 20）, Shenmen （HT 7）, and Sanyinjiao （SP 6）. The additional acupoints were Yintang （Ex-HN 3）, Anmian （Ex-HN 22）, Shenmai （BL 62）, Zhaohai （KI 6）, Neiguan （PC 6）, Jueyinshu （BL 14）, Xinshu （BL 15）, Pishu （BL 20）, Weishu （BL 21）, Danshu （BL 19）. The treatment was given by acupuncture plus moxibustion. Suspending moxibustion by moxa stick was used over the main acupoints. And the additional acupoints were punctured routinely. The main acupoints for the control group were Baihui （GV 20）, Shenmen （HT 7）, and Sanyinjiao （SP 6）, Yintang （Ex-HN 3）, Anmian （Ex-HN 22）, Shenmai （BL 62）, and Zhaohai （KI 6）. The additional acupoints were Jueyinshu （BL 14）, Xinshu （BL 15）, Pishu （BL 20）, Weishu （BL 21）, Danshu （BL 19）. The treatment was given by acupuncture routinely. The therapeutic effects were compared in the change of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI）, therapeutic effect and therapeutic courses. Results： The treatment group was better than the control group in PSQI change, therapeutic effect and therapeutic course （P〈0.05）. There was no adverse reaction. Conclusion： Acupuncture plus moxibustion has a better therapeutic effect for insomnia.展开更多
