Results indicate that acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of cerebral palsy has very great potential social and economic results. Therefore, it is appropriate to approach establishment of a comprehensive rehabilitation system of cerebral palsy with Chinese characteristics, and with acupuncture and moxibustion used as main way.展开更多

Methods: Sixty stroke patients were evenly randomized into yin-meridian group and yang-meridian group. On the basis of the treatment with Chinese and Western medicines, these stroke patients of two groups were treated mainly by acupuncture of acupoints of yin meridians such as Jiquan (极泉HT 1), Tongli (通里HT 5), Neiguan (内关PC 6), etc., and those of yang meridians as Jianyu (NFDA1 LI 15), Quchi (曲池 LI 11), Shousanli (手三里LI 10), etc. respectively. After 30 days’ treatment, the therapeutic effect was evaluated by using American National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Hamilton Depression (HAMD) Rating Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Barthel Index and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale. Results: Following treatment, the therapeutic effect of yin-meridian group was significantly superior to that of yang-meridian group in improving stroke patients’ neurological deficits [Level B: 50% (15/30) vs 20% (6/30)] and ADL [Level Ⅱ: 40% (12/30) vs 13.3% (4/30)]. No significant difference was found between two groups in the neurological impairment domains. Conclusion: Acu-moxibustion of acupoints of yin meridians is superior to acupoints of yang meridians in improving stroke patients’ neurological impairment and daily living activities.展开更多

Methods:Fracture models were established in 105 New Zealand white rabbits and they were randomly divided into control group,VEGF group and anti-VEGF group. The relevant factors expression at fractured sites was assayed and pathological changes were observed in decalcified samples at 8,24,72 hours and 1,3,5,8 weeks after fracture. Results:After application of VGEF,the expression of BMP appeared earlier and expression time lasted longer. On the contrary,anti-VEGF completely inhibited the expression of BMP.The fractured sites were filled with fibrous callus,cartilaginous callus and bony callus at the 3rd week and woven bone was constructed at the 5th week. Fracture healing was accomplished at the 8th week in VEGF group.In anti-VEGF polyclonal antibody group, cellular necrosis increased at early period.Continuous focal necrosis was seen in the fractured sites from the 1st week to 5th week.Vascularization reduced obviously at the 3rd week. Conclusions:Fracture healing is a result of mutual regulation and coordination among many factors.VEGF may be an important factor in fracture healing.展开更多
