A number of previous studies of acupuncture acupoint specificity have used sham acupoints, sham acupuncture or meridian acupoints at a great distance from each other as controls in functional MRI (fMRI) experiments....A number of previous studies of acupuncture acupoint specificity have used sham acupoints, sham acupuncture or meridian acupoints at a great distance from each other as controls in functional MRI (fMRI) experiments. However, few studies have compared different meridian acupoints within the same segment, which are associated with similarly intense needle sensations. We performed fMRI on 12 healthy young volunteers and observed differences in brain activation elicited by acupuncture of the Taixi (KI 3) and Qiuxu (GB 40) acupoints. Acupuncture was applied at the Taixi and Qiuxu acupoints, using a multiple-block fMRI design with three blocks, involving three altemations of resting and task phases. After scanning, needle sensation was assessed. The behavioral results revealed that the subjective needle sensation was similar between the Taixiand Qiuxu acupoints. The fMRI results revealed that acupuncture at the right Taixi acupoint activated the right superior temporal gyrus (BA 22), left middle frontal gyrus (BA 46) and inferior frontal gyrus (BA 45), bilateral parietal lobe postcentral gyrus (BA 2), right parietal lobe (BA 3), and left parietal lobe (BA 40). Acupuncture at the right Qiuxu acupoint activated the left superior temporal gyrus (BA 42), right parietal lobe postcentral gyrus (BA 40, BA 43), right inferior frontal gyrus (BA 47), bilateral superior temporal gyrus (BA 22), and right insula BA13. These results suggest that the right Taixiand Qiuxu acupoints activated different brain areas.展开更多

In the present paper, the author expounds its theoretical basis from yin-yang theory, investigates its origin from the location of acupoints and ancient clinical application, and introduces its current application in clinical practice. In addition, the author lists 4 typical cases about treatment of hysteric convulsion, pregnant hypertension, child bed-wetting and leucorrhagia with opposite acupoints. Clinical practice demonstrates that opposite acupoints therapy is fewer in taking acupoints for one session of treatment, simple in operation, and good in the therapeutic effect for treatment of various diseases of different systems in the human body.展开更多

The patients were instructed to press the stuck seed twice a day for 3 to 5 minutes each time. Auricular acupoints of both sides were used alternately every 2 days. The electric acupuncture was applied at Zusanli points about 30 minutes each time every other day. Ten times (i. e. 20 days) make one course of treatment and the routine treatment consists of 1 to 2 courses. The results showed that all the patients were cured, patients with Shi Mi (the constipation of excess type) were cured after one course of treatrnent while Xu Mi (the constipation of deficiency type) were cured after two courses. The study suggests that this kind of treatment is an ideal therapy for functional constipation. The pathogenesis and mechanism of treatment of auricular acupuncture pressing associated with acupuncture at Zusanli point for constipation are discussed.展开更多

Methods: Ninety five cases of allergic rhinitis patients were randomized into acupuncture plus acupoint injection group (treatment group, n=40), acupuncture group (control group A, n=30) and muscular injection group (control group B, n=25). Yingxiang (LI 20), Yintang (EX HN 3), Baihui (GV 20), Fengchi (GB 20), Fengmen (BL 12), Feishu (BL 13), etc. were used. Results: Following 20 days’ treatment, of the 40, 30 and 25 cases of allergic rhinitis in treatment, control A and B groups, 16 (40.0%), 8 (26.7%) and 0 were cured, 22 (55.0%), 14 (46.7%) and 4 (16.0%) experienced improvement in their symptoms and signs, and 2 (5.0%), 8 (26.7%) and 21 (84.0%) failed in the treatment, with the effective rates being 95.0%, 73.3% and 16.0% separately. The therapeutic effect of treatment group was significantly superior to those of two control groups (P<0.05, 0.01).
