Methods One hundred and twenty patients with diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome were randomly divided into a warm needling group and a western medicine group by random digit table method, 60 patients were included in each group. Tiānshū （天枢 ST 25）, Zúsānl （足三里 ST 36） and Sānyīnjiāo （三阴交 SP 6） were selected as the main acupoints for the warm needling group, the needles were retained for 30 min, once a day, an interval of 1 day was set up after treatment for six days, and the treatment were carried out for continuous four weeks. The patients in the western medicine group were orally administered with 2 mg loperamide hydrochloride capsules, 3 times a day, and the treatment were carried out for continuous four weeks. The treatment effects were compared between the two groups, and the recurrence rates were counted after for six-month followup. Results The total effective rate in the warm needling group was 86.7% （52/60） and the total effective rate in the western medicine group was 71.7% （43/60）, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant （P0.05）; after six-month follow-up, the recurrence rate in the warm needling group was 21.4% （6/28）, while the recurrence rate in the western medicine group was 54.5% （12/22）, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant （P0.05）. Conclusion The warm needling therapy shows relatively satisfactory treatment effects in the treatment of diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome and the recurrence rate is relatively low.展开更多

The treatment group received electroacupuncture + massage +blocking therapy, while the control group received blocking therapy only. A course of electroacupuncture treatment included therapy once a day for 10days. There were 10 treatments in a massage course and massage was given once a day, with a1-week interval given before the next course. A course of blocking treatment included therapy once a week, for twototaltreatments,andgenerallyno more than three times. The therapeutic effects were evaluated with the visual analog scale(VAS),grip strength index(GSI) score, and Mayo elbow performance score(MEPS) before treatment and at0, 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment to observe thetotaleffectiverate.RESULTS: In the treatment and control groups before treatment and at 0, 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment, the VAS scores were: 6.5±1.9 and 6.4±1.6; 4.6±1.3 and 4.6±1.7; 4.8±1.3 and 4.8±1.2; 4.6±1.2 and 6.6±1.6; and 6.5±1.6 and 6.5±1.3, respectively. The GSI scores were 63±8 and 63±8; 84±6and82±7;82±7and82±6;84±6and62±8;and64±6 and 64±7, respectively.The MEPS of both groups were65±7and66±8;85±6and84±7;84±5and84±7;80±7and66±6;and65±6and65±7,respectively.The total effective rates of the treatment and control groups at 0, 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment were 87.5% and 85.0%; 85.0% and 82.5%;80.0% and 12.5%; and 2.5% and 5.0%, respectively.Compared with the treatment group, the control group had greater joint function, better the rapeutic effect, and lower pain intensity(P<0.01), indicating a high recurrence rate in the 12th month after treatment.There were no differences inVAS, GSI, or MEPS at 0, 6, and 24 months after treatment(P>0.05)betweenthetwogroups.CONCLUSION: We found that both methods were effective for external humeral epicondylitis. After 6months of treatment,the effects were good in both groups. However, in the 12th month, the control group had a relatively severe relapse. After 24months, both groups relapsed. The effect of electroacupuncture, massage, and blocking therapy used in combination lasted longer, delaying the recurrence of the disease.展开更多

文摘OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of different frequencies of electro-acupuncture at Shuigou(GV 26) on the latent period and wave amplitude of motor evoked potentials(MEPs) in rats with focal cerebral infarction.METHODS:Fifty healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups:controls,model,2 Hz Shuigou,50 Hz Shuigou and 100 Hz Shuigou.There were 10 rats in each group.Using a modification of a technique for middle cerebral artery occlusion,focal cerebral ischemic injury was induced in all rats except those in the control group.The rats in the control group received no treatment.After behavioral deficit had been evaluated using the Zausinger 6-point neurological function score,therats in the Shuigou groups underwent acupuncture and continuous wave stimulation at a frequency of 2 Hz,50 Hz or 100 Hz(intensity 1 mA) for 10 min twice daily for 3 days.The control and model groups underwent no intervention.Zausinger 6-point neurological function score and MEPs were measured 72 h after the start of treatment.RESULTS:The neurological function scores of the three Shuigou groups were significantly higher than those of the model group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference between sides in the latency and amplitude of MEPs in the model group(P> 0.05).The latency on the affected side in the model group was significantly longer than that in the control group(P<0.05) and the amplitude on affected side was significantly reduced(P<0.01).After 3 days of electro-acupuncture,the latency on the affected side in the 2 Hz Shuigou group was significantly shortened(P<0.05) and the amplitude was significantly increased(P<0.05) compared with the model group.CONCLUSION:Low frequency electro-acupuncture at Shuigou(GV 26) can promote recovery of motor function after focal cerebral ischemic injury in rats.
