Acu- puncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that is often used to help improve the level of consciousness in patients with DOC. However, the responses to stimulation of acupoints in patients with DOC are not fully understood.展开更多

During defibrillator application: activate K-1 Yongquan through needles before defibrillation. Unsuccessful CPR: "gold standard"for legal clinical death.RESULTS: Implies comparing two hypotheses: Ho(null hypothesis) demonstrates no association between the two variables studied; Ha(alternative hypothesis) implies some degree of relation between them. Difference between the two treatments is observed. If it is greater than the standard error multiplied by a coefficient of security, the difference is significant: Ha will be accepted and Ho rejected. First we will compare CPR without defibrillator(method "A") and K-1 Yongquan method(method "B"), using percentages of representative samples(treatment "A": 6.4% response, treatment "B": 85% response). If │PA- PB│ is greater than the product of 1.96 times the standard error, the difference is significant. Because │PA- PB│ = 0.786 is greater than 0.098, the difference between 0.064 and 0.85 is statistically significant. Thus, we reject Ho and accept Ha as correct. Thus, it is improbable that chance was responsible for this association. This analysis shows that K-1 Yongquan method has a "quality guarantee". Second, we compare defibrillators("A") with K-1 Yongquan method("B")(treatment "A": 48%, treatment "B": 84%, │PA- PB│= 0.36; │PA- PB│ = 0.36 is greater than SE × 1.96 = 0.0148 and also statistically significant, demonstrating again the comparative value of the Yongquan method. CONCLUSION: The Yongquan resuscitation manoeuver is a non-invasive, non-tiring, costless, and easy-toapply procedure that provides a second chance when other options fail.展开更多

It can be used to treat many kinds of diseases, such as parietal headache, vertigo and blurred vision, hypopharynx swelling and pain, dry tongue, voice loss, epistaxis, apoplexy and apoplectic sequela, dysufia, ungratifying defecation, epilepsy, syncope, planter fever, palpitations, lower limbs spasm, hypertension, vomiting, infantile convulsion. The author applied Yongquan （KI 1） in clinical practice and obtained satisfactory therapeutic effects. Now five cases were introduced as follows.展开更多

Methods： Thirty-six cases ofreccurent aphthous ulcer due to kidney dificiency were treated with Wu Zhu Yu （Fructus Evodia） paste applying to Yongquan （KI 1）, and orally taking Liu Wei Di Huang Pill. Ten treatments made up one course, 2-3 d of interval between 2 courses. Then 1-year follow-up was made. Results： Twenty cases were cured, 12 cases improved, 4 cases failed. Conclusion： The method of using Wu Zhu Yu （Fructus Evodia） paste applying to acupoint Yongquan （KI 1）, integrated with the manipulation of strengthening kidney, can effectively shorten the duration of disease, improve the symptoms, and control recurrency, which is good for this disease.展开更多
