Methods: One hundred and twenty patients were randomly divided into two groups, 60 cases in each group. Both groups were treated by puncturing Weizhong (BL 40) plus functional rehabilitation training, once every day. Those in the observation group were treated by Shi Xue-min's needling technique, while others in the control group were treated with routine needling technique. The therapeutic effects were assessed by the scores of lower limb functions of Lovett scale of grading muscle strength (LSGMS) and short-form FugI-Meyer assessment (SFFMA). Results: The instant and post-treatment effective rates in the observation group were 83.3% and 93.3%, versus 6.7% and 53.3% in the control group, indicating that the therapeutic effect was better in the observation group (P〈0.01). The instant and post-treatment scores of Lovett muscle strength grading scale were better in the observation group than that in the control group (P〈0.05). SFFMA score of lower limbs function was better in the observation group than that in the control group (P〈0.0s). Conclusion: Different needling methods at Weizhong (BL 40) can produce different therapeutic effects in treating post-stroke dysfunction of lower limb, and Shi's needling technique has obvious instant effect and therapeutic function.展开更多

The LIDH pathological model of rabbit was established using the self-made LIDH model maker. The thigmesthesia and gait function of rabbits were recorded by Siegal method. The serum IgG and IgM expression levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: EA at Huantiao (GB 30) and Weizhong (BL 40) could improve the clinical symptoms of thigmesthesia and gait function, and inhibit the expressions of serum IgG and IgM in the LIDH rabbits, which were significantly different compared with those in the model group and EA at non-acupoint group. Conclusion: EA at Huantiao (GB 30) and Weizhong (BL 40) can improve the clinical symptoms of LIDH rabbits, which is associated with inhibition of the serum IgG and IgM expressions and reduction of the immunoinflammatory factor release. This may be one of the mechanisms of EA at Huantiao (GB 301 and Weizhong[BL 407 in the treatment of LIDH.展开更多

Methods: A total of 40 cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group, 20 in each. Cases in the observation group were treated with acupuncture plus bloodletting on Chize (LU 5) and Weizhong (BL 9), whereas cases in the control group were treated with acupuncture alone. The acupuncture was conducted once a day, bloodletting twice a week. The therapeutic efficacy was statistically analyzed after one month of consecutive treatment. Results: The recovery and total effective rates in the observation group were significantly higher than that in the control group (P〈O.05). Conclusion: Combined acupuncture and bloodletting on Chize (LU 5) and Weizhong (BL 40) could obtain a better effect than acupuncture alone.展开更多
