Evaluations based on STAI were made before and after electroacupuncture treatment for 4 times. Points Baihui (GV 20), Shangxing (GV 23), Neiguan (PC 6), Shenmen (HT 7), Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Taichong (LR 3) were selected for electroacupuncture treatment. One course of treatment consisted of 10 days and a total of 3 courses were carried out.Results The effective rate was 80.8% at the completion of treatment. The scores of state-anxiety index (S-Al) and typical-anxiety index (T-Al) were significantly decreased as compared with before the treatment (P<0.01), especially in the patients with recovery or improvement (P<0.01 andP<0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture treatment has a good effect on extensive anxiety disorder and can avoid the dependence of the patients on anxiolytics.

Methods： Subacute aging rats model were established by injection with D-gal solution. Points Shenshu （BL 23） were treated with moxibustion in treatment group, contrasting with a model group and a normal group. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays（ELISA） was used for the level of telomerase activity in liver tissues, and In Situ Hybridization（ISH） was used for the condition of expression of telomerase genes in liver tissues. Results： The level of telomerase activity in the aging model group was obviously lower than that in normal control group （P〈0.01）, the level in moxibustion group was obviously higher than that in model group（P〈0.05）. In comparison with normal rats, the positive-expressed areas and photodensity of telomerase genes in aging model group were all significantly lower （P〈0.01, P〈0.01）, and the positive-expressed areas in moxibustion group was significantly higher than that in model group （P〈0.01）. Conclusions： Moxibustion could regulate telomerase activity of senile rats, hence delaying aging.展开更多
