Methods Sixty-eight inpatients with acute simple appendicitis were treated by adopting tender spot injection at meridian and collateral, tender spot was usually near Zusanli （足三里 ST 36）. Immediate injection with 0.9% sodium chloride in the dosage of 2-4 mL, then injection for another time after 4-6 h were given, and injection for 2-3 times a day according to the state of illness were given, injection for once a day after 2 days until pressing pain on abdomen disappeared were given. Results After 5-7 injections, the cured were 56 cases （82%）, improved were 8 cases （12%, including 4 cases with chronic appendicitis of acute attack）, ineffective were 4 cases （6%）. The total effective rate was 94%. Abdominal pain was alleviated within 1/2-1 h on average, and alleviated obviously within 8-12 h. Pressing pain and rebound tenderness were relieved obviously and disappeared gradually within 24-48 h, the average length of stay was 4-5 days. Conclusion Tender spot injection at meridian and collateral for acute simple appendicitis can rapidly alleviate abdominal pain, and gradually relieve the abdominal signs. Compared with acupuncture therapy, this thrapy has some advantages such as simple manipulation, quick effect, reliable curative effect and lower treatment cost, so it has been applied by the author for a long time.展开更多

Methods Adult platyfish was put in 30 μM 4-Di-2-ASP water solution for 3 h, then, in pipe water for 20min, afterward, the fish was anesthetized in 10% aether water solution, and the fluorescent labeling was observed under fluorescent microscope with B-3A combination filter. Results The labels observed under the microscope were in round bright dot, a majority of dots were distributed separately and a part of them was in cluster （2- 5 dots/cluster） on various parts of the body in regular arrangement. The labels on the head were circularly distributed around the eye and two arches were formed posterior to the eye and in the inferior 3/4 quadrant. These two arches joined one arch in the anterior superior 1/4 quadrant. On the fish trunk, it was observed that the labels were distributed from the back to the abdomen along the longitudinal axis of the trunk, forming 6 lines, located on No. 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 scale rows successively on the dorsal part of fish. Each line was composed of 7 to 22 label clusters and 1 -5 labels were counted in each cluster. The labels were arranged as 3-4 lines on the tail. Conclusion 1） Acupoint-like and meridian-like structure was existed in platyfish. 2）The skin sensory organs of animal were not distributed evenly all over the body. Instead, a number of sensory organs were put together in cluster and a number of them were in linear distribution regularly along the long axis of the trunk, which was similar to the distribution of traditional meridians and acupoints.展开更多
