The pathogenesis is complicated. According to the TCM theory, psoriasis results from internal heat toxin and the deficiency of blood. And blood stasis exists throughout the disease, the treatment should focus on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Blood-letting puncture can balance Qi and blood through stimulating the meridians, forcing evil Qi to go out, so as to dispel pathogenic factors and dredge the meridians. This article briefly discusses the basic mechanisms and clinical researches of psoriasis with blood-letting puncture, in order to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of psoriasis.展开更多
102 cases of the acute abdominal disease were treated with the blood-lettingpuncture and cupping. 56 cases were cured, 22 markedly effective, 17 improved and 7 ineffective.Total effective rate was 93.1%.

These reports suggested that there was no analytic study on the contraindication and the amount of bleeding,and also the basic research was not enough. In the end, the author introduced their research workappling acupuncture to rescue the patients with central respiratory failure and arrhythmia caused by cardiac infarction.展开更多

Methods: Sixty cases of STC patients were evenly randomized into acupuncture group and medication group. In acupuncture group, electroacupuncture (EA, 20 Hz, continuous waves and tolerable strength) was applied to bilateral Tianshu (ST 25) for 30 min after deep puncture. The treatment was given once daily, 5 sessions every week, two weeks altogether. Patients of control group were ordered to take Lactulose (10 mL/time, b.i.d), two weeks altogether. Cleveland Constipation Score (CCS) and colonic transit time (CCT) were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Results: After treatment, both CCS and CCT showed that the therapeutic effect of acupuncture group was significantly superior to that of medication group (P<0.05). Six-months’ follow up showed that the therapeutic effect of acupuncture still maintained in 13 of the 22 cases visited, while that of control group only maintained in 1 of the 19 cases. Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of deep puncture of Tianshu (ST 25) for STC is definite and has a middle-long-term effect. The patients have no any unfavorable reactions.展开更多

Background: Post-dural puncture headache is the most common serious complication resulting from lumbar puncture and epidural or spinal anesthetics. The syndrome is characterized by severe headache that occurs within 48 hours following the puncture, located in the frontal and/or occipital region, worsened in the upright position and refractory to routine analgesia. The syndrome incidence was reported to be approximately 1% with typical obstetric anesthesiology practice which reflects more than 20,000 cases per 2014 in the US. Two possible mechanisms are hypothesized as responsible for this syndrome;cerebrospinal fluid leakage and pneumocephalus. Multiple methods of treatment have been applied with wide-ranging results. Design or Methods: Review article with introduction of a novel treatment option. Results: We postulate that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can be used to treat post-dural puncture headache. The rationale for treatment is dual: enhancement of fibroblast proliferation at the site of dural puncture to facilitate faster closure of the tear and compression of air bubbles in case of pneumocephalus according to Boyle’s law. We also claim that hyperbaric oxygen therapy should be considered a prophylactic treatment, if a dural tear is suspected.展开更多
