ABSTRACT
It's been confirmed that acupuncture-moxibustion is effective in treating primary dysmenorrhea, and the efficacy is closely related to the intervention time. By summarizing the latest research progress on real-time intervention and pre-intervention of acupuncture-moxibustion in treating primary dysmenorrhea, this articlewas to discuss about the effect of intervention time on the efficacy in treating primary dysmenorrhea and thus to provide evidence to choose the optimal intervention time. It brought up that real-time intervention of acupuncture-moxibustion can produce a significant analgesic effect in treating primary dysmenorrhea, while pre-intervention of acupuncture-moxibustion presents its advantages in generally regulating the body function. Therefore, the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea should combine real-time intervention and pre-intervention of acupuncture-moxibustion to enhance the clinical efficacy.
ABSTRACT
Qi arrival is the meridian qi response to acupuncture stimulation. Through analyzing the relevant concepts of qi arrival and summarizing the general understanding of it in clinic and on the basis of the collection of the relevant literature at home and abroad on the determination of qi arrival and its strength, the characteristics are analyzed on the present method and the method for the determination of qi arrival and its strength is discussed in terms of the results in the needling sensation scale. It is believed that the needling sensation and its strength can be used to determine whether the qi is arrived or not and its strength. The components of different types of needling sensation are much better applicable for the analysis on the characteristics and rules on the influence on qi arrival. This method is in compliance not only with the theoretic connotation of qi arrival, but also with the clinical general understanding, which lays the foundation for the analysis on the scale results.

From ancient times to the present,acupuncture has made tremendous contributions to women' s reproductive health.Based on traditional Chinese medicine of kidney-menstruation-Chong and Ren-uterus axis and Western medicine of hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis comparative analysis study,try to explore possible ways from the acupuncture point to molecular changes in the process of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the correlation between mating days and pregnancy rate, the vaginal pessary number and the embryos number in female rats, for facilitating the whole planning of the relevant experiments. Methods 70 female Wistar rats were randomly mated with 20 male Wistar rats separately. Mating days and vaginal pessary were recorded. In late stage of the experiment, the number of pregnant rats and embryos were confirmed by post-mortem anatomy. Results Person correlation coefficient of the mating days and pregnancy rate in exhausting pessary rats was 0.83, P<0.05 (P=0.005); person correlation coefficient of the vaginal pessay number and the embryos was 0.16, P>0.05(P=0.18). Conclusion There was linearly dependent relationship between the mating days and pregnancy rate, the pregnancy rate of female rats become 100% when the mating days reached 4 days. But there was no such relationship between the vaginal pessary and the embryo number.
ABSTRACT
To select the most effective parameters of electroacupuncture (EA) at Hegu (LI4) and Sanyinjiao (SP6), a traditional acupuncture formula that induces labor, by comparing its effects on uterine contraction in late-stage pregnant rats, so as to improve the effects of acupuncture on induction of labor and its clinical maneuverability and provide the basis for further mechanism research.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) on repeated rheumatism attacks after continual anti rheumatic treatment in vain over a long period of time.Methods 23 cases received treatment by PBMV and follow up visits were performed.Results After operation,patients' cardiac function and their physique were improved obviously and the activity of rheumatism ceased after routine anti rheumatic treatment and prevention of streptococcal infection.Follow up visits for 36～81 months showed that mitral re stenosis occurred to only 2 patients.Conclusion Patients with mitral stenosis whose rheumatism attacks repeatedly in spite of longterm anti rheumatic treatment may be treated with PBMV first and then given anti rheumatism.In this way,a better curative effect can be obtained.
