The results showed that water-permeability plastic film mulching plus bunch planting had a significant promoting effect on root growth and development and yield of foxtail millet. Compared with the CK, the total root length, total surface area, total root volume and number of. root tips increased by 51.30%, 47.89%, 48.39% and 41.63%, respectively. The yield increased by 48.57%, and there was significant positive correlation between root length, total surface area, total volume, number of root tips and dry matter weight of roots with yield. Developed roots are the main reason for the yield increasing effect of water-permeability plastic film mulching plus bunch planting.展开更多

Methods Sixty cases of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy were divided into a treatment group and a control group with 30 cases in each group. Acupuncture at neck Jiájǐ (EX) points (Extra) and blood-letting puncture with the plum-blossom needle were adopted for the treatment group. And acupuncture at neck Jiájǐ (EX) points was adopted for the control group. The therapeutic effect, visual analogue scale (VAS) and the numbness score were observed after 2 treatment courses. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was 86.7% (26/30), while the rate of the control group was 83.3% (25/30). Comparison of the differences of the two groups was without statistic significance (P0.05). The VAS scores of the two groups after treatment were both improved (both P0.01), but without statistic significance between the two groups (P0.05). The numbness scores of the two groups after treatment were both better than those before treatment (P0.01). The therapeutic effect on numbness of the extremities of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (P0.05). Conclusion Blood-letting puncture with the plum flower needle has a satisfactory effect on treatment of numbness of the extremities of patient with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.展开更多

Methods Sixty-one CRS patients were randomly divided into an acupoint application group (group A, 31 cases) and an electroacupuncture group (group B, 30 cases). Both sides of the spine and scapula were treated with collateral bloodletting, cupping, and acupoint application over Ashi points in group A. The following points received electroacupuncture in group B: Jiaji (夹脊 EX-B2), Fengchi (风池 GB 20), Jianjing (肩井 GB 21), Jianyu (肩髃 LI 15), Waiguan (外关 TE 5), Houxi (后溪 SI 3) and Dazhui (大椎 GV 14). Patients in the two groups were compared in terms of scores for total symptoms and signs, and the theraputic effect of each method was analyzed. Results Total score of symptoms and signs of the two groups were both more significantly improved compared to that before treatment (9.96 ± 2.02 vs 15.87 ± 1.84, P〈0.05 in group A; 10.02 ± 1.76 vs 13.59 ± 1.52, P〈0.05 in group B). The differences in two groups before and after treatment were 5.91 ± 1.95 in group A, 3.53 ± 1.68 in group B, they were statistically significant (P〈0.05). The total effective rate of group A [93.6% (29/31)] was better than that of group B [83.3% (25/30)], and the differences were statistically significant (P〈0.05). Conclusion Good therapeutic effects can be achieved in treating young CRS patients with collateral bloodletting, cupping, and acupoint application.展开更多
