Methods: A total of 114 cases (38 males and 76 females) of Meniere's disease were treated with EA of Ermen(耳门 TE 21), Tinggong (听宫 SI 19), Tinghui (听会 GB 2), Yifeng (医风 TE 17), Fengchi (风池 GB 20) and Baihui (百会 GV 20). The treatment was given 3 times a week,9 times altogether. Follow-up was made at the end of the 3rd, 6th and 12th months after treatment. Results; Follow-up in 114 patients showed that after EA treatment, 63 cases (55.26%) were cured, 30 (26.31%) had remarkable improvement in their symptoms, 10 (8. 77%) responded with improvement and 11 (9.65%) failed in the treatment, with a total effective rate of 90.35%. Conclusion: EA treatment was effective in controlling Meniere's disease patients' symptoms and reducing attack.展开更多

Methods: A total of acute gastroenteritis patients observed were randomized into two groups, i.e. 70 cases in the treatment group receiving EA of main acupoint Neiguan (PC 6) and Gongsun (SP 4) and acupuncture of supplementary acupoint Guanyuan (CV 4), Zusanli (ST 36), Pishu (BL 20) and 50 cases in the control group treated by oral administration of Norfloxacin capsules. Results: Statistically, the therapeutic results of the 2 groups were not significantly different (P>0.05), showing that EA of Neiguan (PC 6) and Gongsun (SP 4) is an effective therapeutic method for acute gastroenteritis.展开更多

Methods: 40 Wistar rats were evenly randomized into sham-operation, model, medication (Nimotone) and EA groups. Vascular dementia model was established by repeated cerebral ischemia-reperfusion which was induced by occlusion and reopen of the bilateral common carotid arteries. EA (2～200 Hz, 2～3 mA) was applied to "Baihui"(GV 20), "Dazhui"(GV 14) and "Zusanli"(ST 36) for 30 min, once daily and continuously for 15 days. The regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in parietal lobe and hippocampus was determined with method of hydrogen clearance; a step-down avoidance test was adopted to observe the rats’ behavior change; and plasma VIP and ET contents were assayed by radioimmunoassay. Results: In comparison with sham-operation group, the correct rate of step-down avoidance test, rCBF in parietal lobe and hippocampus and plasma VIP level in VD model group lowered significantly (P<0.01) and plasma ET increased considerably (P<0.01). However, compared with model group, the correct rate of step-down avoidance test, rCBF values and plasma VIP in EA group raised obviously while plasma ET declined significantly. No significant differences were found between EA and medication groups in the 4 indexes. Conclusion: EA can raise rCBF in the parietal lobe and hippocampus, elevate plasma VIP level and reduce plasma ET in rats with VD.展开更多
