Methods: Clinical literatures about the treatment of MGH with acupuncture published in the recent 16 years were retrieved from Chinese Journal Full-text Database (CJFD) and established into a database by Excel. The SPSS 20 version software and Clementine 12.0 version software were adopted to analyze the frequency and association rules of points-selection in the treatment of MGH with acupuncture. Results: The top 3 points used most frequently in acupuncture treatment of MGH were Danzhon8 (CV 17), Taichong (LR 3) and Zusanli (ST 36); points from the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming and Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin were most commonly used; the commonly selected points were predominantly distributed in thoracic and abdominal regions and lower limbs; emphasis on the combination use of local and distal points; of the specific points, the five Shu-Transmitting points were mostly used; association analysis showed that the associations among Taichong (LR 3), Danzhong (CV 27) and Zusanli (ST 36) were the most significant. Conclusion: The data mining results substantially accord with the general rules of acupuncture-moxibustion theories in traditional Chinese medicine, able to reflect the points-selection principles and features in acupuncture treatment of MGH and provide evidence for the points selection in the treatment of MGH in acupuncture clinic.展开更多

METHODS: New Zealand male rabbits were divid ed into control group, model group, treatment group 1 treated by acupuncture at Shenshu (BL 23) and treatment group 2 treated by acupuncture at Zhongji (CV 3). The urine dynamic parameters through the urethral catheter were detected in each group in order: fluctuation of pressure at fill ing phase of urinary bladder and flow rate in urina tion phase, which were used as quantification in dexes of urinary bladder function. The urinary blad der abnormal model was prepared by administra tion of cholinergic stimulant; Regulatory effects of acupuncture at Shenshu (BL 23) and Zhongji (CV 3) on the abnormal state of the urinary bladder were respectively observed. RESULTS: 1) In the filling phase of urinary bladder and in the urination phase, the intravesical pres sure wave in infilling (IPWI) and intravesical dis charge rate (IDR) could be respectively recorded. 2) IPWI and IDR could become abnormality by neo stigmine methyl sulfate [stability type IPWh the con trol group (n=20, 80%) vs the model group (n=15, 14.3%), P〈0.01; IDR and time regression equation: the control group (n=20, y=24.3 0.878x) vs the model group (n=15, y=40.0 5.15x), P〈0.01]. 3) Ab normal IPWI's could be normalized respectively by acupuncture at Shenshu (BL 23) and Zhongji (CV 3) [the stability type IPWl wave: the model group (n= 2, 14.3%) vs the treatment group 1 (n=3, 30%), P〉 0.05; the instability type IPWl wave: the model group (n=13, 85.7%) in vs the treatment group 2 (n=6, 60%), P〉0.05]; 4) Abnormal IDR also could be turned to normality by acupuncture at Shenshu (BL 23) and Zhongji (CV 3), respectively [IDR and the time regression equation: the model group (n=15, y=40.0 5.15x) vs the treatment group 1 (n=10, y= 18.9 0.499x), P〈0.01; the model group (n=15, y= 40.0 5.15x) vs the treatment group 2 (n=10, y= 17.5 0.251x), P〈0.01]. CONCLUSION: 1) Urodynamic indexes can be used for study of mechanism of acupuncture effects; 2) The effect of acupuncture in the bladder filling phase is smaller than that in the urination phase; 3) Acupuncture has a very obvious effect on intravesi cal discharge rate.展开更多

No fuzi-cake-separated moxibustion was performed in the control group. After treatment, the score for symptoms of first urination, urinary time, urinary volume, 24 h remaining urinary volume, incidence of uroschesis, and rate of controlling dysuria were compared to evaluate the curative effect of preventing post-operative dysuria.RESULTS: The score for symptoms of first urination,24 h remaining urinary volume(maximum 120 m L vs 250 m L, and less than 10 m L in 24 cases vs 15 cases), and the rate of controlling dysuria(83.34% vs30%) were significantly better(P<0.05, P<0.05, and P<0.001, respectively) in the treatment compared with the control group. There was no statistical difference(P>0.05) between the two groups in first post-operative urinary time, urinary volume, or incidence of 24 h uroschesis.CONCLUSION: Fuzi-cake-separated moxibustion at Zhongji(CV 3) and Guanyuan(CV 4) can better prevent post-operative dysuria, effectively promote the functional restoration of the urinary bladder,and control the incidence of post-operative dysuria.展开更多

Methods: Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups, a normal group (NG), a model group (MG), an EA at acupoints group (EAAG), and an EA at non-acupoints group (EANAG), with 10 rats in each group. The rats in the EAAG and EANAG were intervened by EA treatment for consecutive 14 d. Zhongji (CV 3) and Guanyuan (CV 4) were selected as the acupoints in the EAAG, and the tip of the tail and 1 cm up from the tail tip were selected as the non-acupoints in the EANAG. After treatment, the histomorphological changes of the ovary, the levels of aromatase P450 (P450arom)/ testosterone and estradiol in the ovarian tissues, and the expressions of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and AMH were observed. Results: After treatment, compared with the MG and EANAG, the expression of AMH decreased (P<0.05), the levels of P450arom and estradiol in creased sign ifica ntly, and the level of testostero ne decreased sign ifica ntly (all P<0.01) in the EAAG. Additionally, several normal follicles were present and the number of cystically dilated follicles decreased in the EAAG. Compared with the MG and EANAG, the EAAG obviously had more follicular granulosa cells. Con elusion: EA can dow n-regulate the abn ormally in creased expressi on of AMH to improve sex hormone disorders and follicle development in PCOS rats.展开更多
