Methods: A total of acute gastroenteritis patients observed were randomized into two groups, i.e. 70 cases in the treatment group receiving EA of main acupoint Neiguan (PC 6) and Gongsun (SP 4) and acupuncture of supplementary acupoint Guanyuan (CV 4), Zusanli (ST 36), Pishu (BL 20) and 50 cases in the control group treated by oral administration of Norfloxacin capsules. Results: Statistically, the therapeutic results of the 2 groups were not significantly different (P>0.05), showing that EA of Neiguan (PC 6) and Gongsun (SP 4) is an effective therapeutic method for acute gastroenteritis.展开更多

The author performed this work to determine the effect of electroacupuncture （EA） on epileptic seizures and define the optimal EA conditions （acupoints and stimulation parameters）. Methods： Experimental epilepsy was induced by injecting kainic acid into the lateral cerebral ventricle of adult male SD rats. EA with a current of 1 mA/100 Hz or 1 mA/10 Hz was applied to the model starting at 0.5 h after the injection for 30 rain. Four pairs of acupoints were tested, including Renzhong （GV 26） ＋ Dazhui （GV 14）, Jinsuo （GV 8） ＋ Yaoqi （Ex-B 9）, Neiguan （PC 6） ＋ Quchi （LI 11） and Fenglong （ST 40） ＋ Yongquan （KI 1）. Results： Behavioral scores showed that （1） either high （100 Hz） or low （10 Hz） frequency EA at different acupoints attenuated epileptic seizures （P〈0.05 or 0.01 vs. the control）, except EA at Neiguan （PC 6） ＋ Quchi （LI 11） with 1 mA/10 Hz current; （2） EA with low frequency stimulation （10 Hz） induced a better effect at Fenglong （ST 40） ＋ Yongquan （KI1） than other acupoints （P〈0.05 or 0.01）; （3） there was no significant difference in EA effects induced by various acupoints when exposed to high frequency EA （100 Hz）; and （4） high frequency EA （100 Hz） elicited a better effect than low frequency EA （10 Hz） in all groups （P〈0.05 or 0.01） except for that of Jinsuo （GV 8） ＋ Yaoqi （Ex-B 9）. EEG showed the similar tendency, i.e., EA generally reduced the amplitude and frequency of epileptic discharges. Conclusion： Electroacupuncture attenuates epileptic seizures, which is relatively specific to EA parameters and acupoints.展开更多
