In the present study, two formulations of moxa cone moxibustion were applied at acupoints Zusanfi （ST 36） and Xuanzhong （GB 39）, and at acupoints Baihui （DU 20） and Guanyuan （RN 4）, in D-galactose-induced senile mice. The results revealed that moxa cone moxibustion improved total superoxide dismutase and Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase activity in the homogenates of the cerebral tissue, as well as ameliorating deficits in neuronal morphology and neuronal density in the cerebral cortex and hippocampal CA3. Moxa cone moxibustion also enhanced learning and memory functions of senile mice. Moxa cone moxibustion at Zusanli, Xuanzhong, Baihuiand Guanyuan acupoints can thus be used to complement free radical scavengers, with efficacy that is equal to that of electroacupuncture at Zusanliand Xuanzhong, and superior to that of nimodipine treatment.展开更多

The second group was treated by auriculo-acupuncture with gentle moxibustion and the third one, with warm-needling moxibustion. Compari-son made in 138 cases revealed that the first group was very satisfactory, the cured rate being 100%,that of the 2nd and 3rd groups were 91. 3% and 82. 35% respectively. Statistical treatment revealedP【0.05 with significant difference between the first and second groups, P value between the firstand third groups was P【0.01, with very significant difference. There was no significant differencebetween the 2nd and 3rd groups, P】0.05.展开更多

Methods： Sixty cases in conformity with the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups randomly. Thirty cases in the treatment group were treated by moxa cone moxibustion on Pishu （BL 20） and Shenshu （BL 23）, while 30 cases in the control group were treated by oral administration of herbal medicine. The therapeutic effects were compared after one treatment course. Results： The total effective rate was higher in the treatment group than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant （P0.05）. Conclusion： Moxa cone moxibustion is better than oral administration of herbal medicine in treatment of chronic intractable diarrhea.展开更多

Methods：A total of 63 patients with DWG were randomized into a treatment group （n=32） and a control group （n=31）. Cases in the control group were treated with fire needle therapy. Based on the therapy given to the control group, cases in the treatment group were additionally given wheat grain-sized cone moxibustion therapy. Then the therapeutic efficacies and recurrence rate were evaluated. Results：After treatment, the overall effective rate was 93.8% in the treatment group, versus 77.4% in the control group, and the between-group comparison showed a statistical significance （P〈0.05）; 6 months after the treatment, the recurrence rate in the treatment group was obviously lower than that in the control group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion：The long-term and short-term effects of wheat grain-sized cone moxibustion combined with fire needle therapy in the treatment of DWG are better than those of fire needle therapy alone, and therefore, worth popularizing.展开更多
