The maximum amount of dyeing solution uptake by the capillary rise method was used to evaluate the liquid penetration properties of the treated wood. The pit aspiration ratio was determined by semithin section method. Changes in wood microstructure were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that compared with air drying, the freeze drying had a significant effect on liquid penetration of sapwood and heartwood of Chinese fir. The liquid penetration of sapwood is significantly higher than that of the heartwood for both drying treatments. Low pit aspiration ratio and cracks of pits membrane of some bordered pits are the main reasons for increasing liquid penetration after freeze drying treatment.展开更多

The patients in the EX-B2 group received EA at the symmetrical 2 acupoints of the bilateral EX-B2 on the lesion part. The patients in the conventional acupoints group received EA at the tender point of the lesion part, Zhibian( 秩边BL54), Huantiao(环跳 GB30),weǐzhōng(委中BL40), Chéngshān(承山BL57) and Fúyáng(跗阳BL59) on the affected side. The retain time of the needles is both 45 min. The treatment of the two groups is 3 times a week and for a connective 20 times. The modified Assessment Criteria for Low Lumbar Pain of Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA),Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) were evaluated before and after the treatment and at the 6-month follow up.Results:(1) Effective outcomes. JOA score: The JOA score of the patients in the EX-B2 group after treatment was(20.89 士 3.43), and was(19.35 ±4.02) on the follow-up. Compared with the JOA score(12.35 ±4.42) in the same group before the treatment, there were statistical significant higher(both P0.05). The JOA score in the EX-B2 group after treatment and on the follow-up were both higher than that of the conventional acupoints group at the same time point(both P0.05). VAS score: The VAS score of the patients in the EX-B2 group on the 24 h after the first treatment was(4.09 ± 1.81), and was(2.11 ± 1.30) after the treatment. Compared with the VAS score(4.09 ± 1.81) in the same group before the treatment, there were statistical significant lower(both P0.05). The VAS score in the EX-B2 group on the 24 h after the first treatment and after treatment showed no statistical difference展开更多
