Effect of Wei’s triple nine needling therapy on flash visual evoked potentials in rats with traumatic optic neuropathy

Objective:To investigate the effect of Wei’s triple nine needling therapy on the N2-P2 wave of the flash visual evoked potential(FVEP)in rats of the of the transverse directional pulling model.Methods:Thirty-six Wistar rats were randomly grouped,nine were in normal control group without any treatment,and the remaining 27 were surgically modelled in the right eyes.Eighteen of these rats were randomly divided into a Wei’s triple nine needling therapy group and a model group of nine rats each after the TON model was made using the transverse quantitative retraction method.The other 9 rats were sham-operated,and only the optic nerve was exposed without retraction.On the next day of modelling,the Wei’s triple nine needling therapy group was treated with Wei’s triple nine needling therapy for 20 minutes/1 time/1 day for 14 days.The model group,sham-operated group and normal control group were not intervened.Wei's triple nine acupoints were represented as follows:1st link:"Jingming"(BL1)and"Chengqi"(ST1);2nd link:"Sizhukong"(SJ23)penetrating"Taiyang"(EX-HN5);and the third:"Fengchi"(GB 20)and"Taichong"(LV3).The FVEP of each group was observed on 1d,7d and 14d.The FVEP of each group was observed on 1d,7d and 14d.Results:Compared with the model group,the N2 wave latency and P2 wave latency were shortened in the Wei’s triple nine needling therapy on 1d(P<0.05,P<0.01);on 7d,their N2 wave latency was shortened(P<0.01)and the N2-P2 wave amplitude was increased compared with the model group(P<0.05);on 14d,their P2 wave latency was shortened(P<0.05)and the N2-P2 wave amplitude was increased.There was no statistical difference in N2 wave latency,P2 wave latency and N2-P2 wave amplitude in the sham-operated group on 1d,7d and 14d(P>0.05).The delayed N2 and P2 wave latencies in the model group did not improve from 1d to 14d(P>0.05)and the amplitude decreased throughout,showing a significant difference on 14d compared to 1d(P<0.05).In contrast,the N2 wave latency in Wei’s triple nine needling therapy group was not significantly different until 7d to 14d(P<0.05);its P2 wave latency,although significantly delayed from 1d to 7d(P<0.05),recovered on 14d and reached a level that was not statistically different from 1d and 7d(P>0.05).There was also no significant decrease in N2-P2 wave amplitude between 1d and 14d in Wei’s triple nine needling therapy group(P>0.05).Conclusion:In this experiment,the TON rat model was successfully established by the transverse quantitative retraction method,and the treatment of TON rats with Wei’s triple nine needling therapy reduced the P2 wave delay of the FVEP electrophysiological signal and increased the N2-P2 amplitude,which had a certain positive effect on the repair of optic nerve injury,probably related to its effect of improving the conduction function of the optic nerve and protecting the retinal ganglion cells that had not been degenerated and necrosed.

In the present paper, a total of 109 asthma patients were randomly divided into treatment group (red hot needle, n=62) and control group (conventional acupuncture, n=47). The treatment was conducted beginning from the first day of the first 10 day period of the Dog Days. After successive two years’ treatment, results showed that of the 62 and 47 cases in treatment and control groups, 16 and 7 were cured basically, 37 and 16 had remarkable improvement, 8 and 12 were ameliorated, 1 and 10 failed in the treatment, with the effective rate being 98.4% and 78.7% respectively, displaying that the therapeutic effect of treatment group was significantly superior to that of control group (P<0.01).

OBSERVATION ON THE EFFECT OF SHALLOW NEEDLING FOR TREATMENT OF PERIPHERAL FACIAL PARALYSIS IN 80 AFRICANS

This paper is a summary of 150 cases of facial paralysis in African black people treated with shallow needling and mild needling manipulation. After 3 courses of treatment, of the 80 cases in the shallow-needling group, 71 (88. 8% ) were cured, 5 (6. 3% ) had marked improvement, 3 (3. 7% ) had improvement and 1 (1. 2% ) failed; Of the 70 cases in traditional-needling group, 61 (87. 1 % ) were cured, 6 (8. 6% ) had evident improvement, 2 (2. 9% ) had improvement and 1 (1. 4 % ) had no striking change. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the two groups in the therapeutic effect (P >0. 5 ), indicating both the traditional needling method and shallow needling were effective in treatment of facial paralysis in black people. In addition, earlier treatment was very important in healing facial palsy; and the cure rate was higher in younger patients ard those with light severity.

CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON TREATMENT OF 198 CEREBRAL INFARCTION PATIENTS WITH OPPOSING AND NON-OPPOSING NEEDLING METHODS

198 cases of cerebral infarction diagnosed clinically.by means of CT scan wereselected, and the therapeutic effects obtained with the methods of opposing and non-opposing needlingwere compared, The primary points included Head-Linqi(GB 15) and Zhengying(GB 17) (penetra-tion needling), Fengchi(GB 20), Neiguan (PC 6), qnd Yinlingquan (SP 9). While the supplemen-tary points were Jiquan (HT 1 ), Xiaohai (SI 8), Huantiao (GB 30), Yinmen (BL 37), Sanyinjiao(SP 6), and Taixi (KI 3). It was found that the radical cure rate in the group treated with opposingneedling was 57%, while that in the group with non-opposipg needling was 34%. The difference oftherapeutic effects between the two groups was of statistical significance (P【0.01 ). It indicates thatopposing needling is superior to non-opposing needling in elevating cure rates and reducing sequelae.
