Effect of acupuncture at Lieque(列缺LU 7) on vertebral-basilar artery hemodynamics in patients with cervical vertigo

Objective To explore the therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of acupuncture at Lieque （列缺 LU 7） in treatment of cervical vertigo （CV）. Methods Forty CV patients met the inclusion criteria were enrolled and treated with acupuncture at bilateral LU 7 points, once daily with 10 times as a course. The changes of blood flow velocity in bilateral vertebral artery and basilar artery were observed through transcranial doppler sonography （TCD） before treatment, after deqi with acupuncture and after a course of treatment, respectively. The scores and therapeutic efficacy on clinical symptoms were assessed according to CV symptoms and the functional assessment scale as well as the Criteria-for Diagnosis and Curative Effect in TCM Syndromes before treatment and after a course of treatment. Results Before treatment, after deqi and after a course of treatment, the blood flow velocity of basilar artery （BA）, left vertebral artery （LVA） and right vertebral artery （RVA） in 22 patients with a decreased blood flow velocity were respectively 23.20±4.84 vs 26.30 ± 4.17 vs 29.20 ± 4.20 （mm/s, BA）, 21.65 ± 3.62 vs 24.20 ± 2.89 vs 26.40 ± 3.62 （mm/s, LVA） and 21.90±3.04 vs 24.25±3.01 vs 26.50_±3.95 （mm/s, RVA）, while in 18 patients with an increased blood flow velocity were respectively 39.94 ± 8.24 vs 35.17 ± 4.84 vs 32.06 ± 3.49 （mm/s, BA）, 41.83 ± 5.64 vs 37.28 ± 2.32 vs 35.61 ± 2.09 （mm/s, LVA） and 37.11 ± 9.83 vs 32.22 ± 6.13 vs 28.11 ± 4.12 （mm/s, RVA）. Except that the difference of blood flow velocity of RVA was not significant in patients with an increased blood flow velocity before treatment and after deqi （P 〉 0.05）, the Vm of all vessels in 40 patients was improved after deqi with acupuncture and a course of treatment （P〈0.01, P〈0.05）. According to CV symptoms and the functional assessment scale, before treatment and after a course of treatment, the scores were 15.68 ± 5.35 and 26.30 ± 3.76, respectively, indicating that after a course of treatment, the symptoms were significantly improved （P 〈 0.01）. According to the Criteria for Diagnosis and Curative E.f]ect in TCM Syndromes, after a course of treatment, the total effective rate was 100% （40/40） and the cured rate was 55.0% （22/40）. Conclusion Acupuncture at LU 7 not only improves the blood supply of vertebral-basilar artery in CV patients, but also has a significant curative effect on improving the clinical symptoms.

Acupuncture at jing-well point combined with educational training for the treatment of children with severe mental retardation

Objective To observe clinical efficacy of acupuncture at ]ing-well point combined with educational training for the treatment of children with severe mental retardation. Methods Sixty children with severe mental retardation were randomly divided into ]ing-well point acupuncture plus simple special education and language training group （group A） and simple special education and language training group （group B） with 30 child patients in each group according to registration order. All the patients were treated once every other day, 10 times as a course of treatment. There were 20 days of interval between each course of treatment. Curative effect was analyzed after 3 courses of treatment. Gesell Developmental Scale test was conducted for all children before and after treatment. Development quotient at the functional area of social adaptability, large motor, fine motor, language skill and social behavior of individuals was recorded and compared between groups and before and after treatment to evaluate the curative effect. Results Social adaptability and fine motor of children were improved in the group B after treatment. And in the group A, social adaptability, fine motor, language skill and social behavior of individuals were improved after treatment. Meanwhile, the group A was superior to the group B in curative effect of overall social adaptability and language skill （both P〈0.05）. The overall response rate in group B was 23.3% （7/30） and in group A was 46.6% （14/30, P〈0.05）. Conclusion Acupuncture at jing-well point combined with educational training can effectively improve the intelligence level of children with severe mental retardation and its curative effect is better than that of simply education and training.

Muscle regions of meridians warm needling method plus pricking Jing-Well points for blood-letting in the treatment of shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke

Objective To observe the effect of muscle regions of meridians warm needling method plus pricking Jing-Well points for blood-letting in improving nail fold microcirculation in the patients with shoulder-hand syndrome(SHS)after stroke,and the effects on hemorrheology,calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)and serum substance P(SP).Methods A total of 72 patients were randomized into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method,with 36 cases in each group.The control group was treated with physical rehabilitation training,and the observation group was treated with additional muscle regions of meridians warm needling method plus pricking Jing-Well points for blood-letting treatment.The treatment course lasted for 4 weeks.After treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared.The changes in shoulder-hand syndrome scale(SHSS),simplified Fugl-Meyer assessment-upper extremity(FMA-UE),visual analog scale(VAS),activities of daily living(ADL),traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome score,nail fold microcirculation hemorheology indictors[whole blood viscosity(high-shear,low-shear),hematocrit,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)],CGRP and SP levels were observed.Results The total effective rate in the observation group was 86.1%,higher than 63.9%in the control group(P<0.05).The overall curative effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of pain sensation,edema,external turn and rotation of the arm in SHSS,and the total score were significantly decreased in both groups(all P<0.05),and each score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(all P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of VAS and TCM syndrome in both groups decreased significantly(all P<0.05),and the scores of FMA-UE and ADL increased significantly(all P<0.05).The scores of VAS and TCM syndrome in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(both P<0.05),and the scores of FMA-UE and ADL were higher than those in the control group(both P<0.05).After treatment,the whole blood viscosity(high-shear and low-shear)and hematocrit in both groups decreased obviously(all P<0.05),and ESR increased obviously(both P<0.05),and the whole blood viscosity(high-shear and low-shear)and hematocrit in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05),and ESR was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the peritubular state,loop shape,blood flow and total score of nail fold microcirculation in both groups decreased significantly(all P<0.05),and each score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(all P<0.05).After treatment,SP in both groups decreased obviously(both P<0.05),CGRP increased obviously(both P<0.05),and SP in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05),CGRP was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with conventional physical rehabilitation training,muscle regions of meridians warm needling method plus pricking Jing-Well points for blood-letting treatment can significantly reduce the clinical symptoms of SHS,promote the recovery of physical functions,improve the nail fold microcirculation and hemorrheology indictors,and regulate the serum cytokine levels such as CGRP and SP.
