ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of stage treatment withTiao He Ying Wei(regulating Ying-nutritional and Wei-defensive qi) needling in treating insomnia.Method A hundred insomnia patients presenting difficulty falling asleep were randomized into group A1 and B1, 50 cases each; 100 insomnia patients presenting difficulty maintaining sleep were randomized into group A2 and B2, 50 cases in each group; 100 insomnia patients presenting early-morning awakening were randomized into group A3 and B3, 50 cases each. Group A1, A2 and A3 were treated withTiao He Ying Wei needling, while group B1, B2 and B3 were treated with conventional medication. The Symptoms score and cerebral blood flow indicators were observed before and after the intervention.Result After the treatment, the symptoms scores were significantly changed in each group (P<0.05). The improvement of symptoms score in group A1 was superior to that in group B1 (P<0.05); the improvement of symptoms score in group A2 was superior to that in group B2 (P<0.05); the improvement of symptoms score in group A3 was superior to that in group B3 (P<0.05). The cerebral blood flow indicators (middle cerebral artery, posterior cerebral artery, anterior cerebral artery, and basilar artery) were significantly changed after the treatment in group A1, A2 and A3 (P<0.05). After the treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the cerebral blood flow indicators between group A1 and B1, A2 and B2, and A3 and B3 (P<0.05).Conclusion Stage treatment withTiao He Ying Wei needling can improve the sleep quality of insomnia patients.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To develop a capillary GC method for determining six components in Heiguidou Oil,?-pinene,eucalyptol,borneol,methyl salicylate,cinnamia aldehyde and eugenol. METHODS:GC was applied to quantitative analysis. Chromatographic conditions consisted of PEG-20M(30 m?0.25 mm?0.25 ?m),flame ionization detector(FID),and programmed temperature; initiation temperature was at 80 ℃ for 7 min; the rate of temperature was 15℃/minute,final temperature was at 180 ℃ for 10 min,bypass rate was 50 ∶1. The sample dissolved in absolute alcohol. The external standard was used. RESULTS:The standard curves of conclusion ?-pinene,eucalyptol,borneol,methyl salicylate,cinnamia aldehyde and eugenol were linear within the ranges of 0.322-32.150 mg/mL,0.202 -20.215 mg/mL,0.126-12.630 mg/mL,0.633-63.290 mg/mL,0.174-17.390 mg/mL,0.633-63.290 mg/mL and 0.203-20.255 mg/mL,respectively.RSD were 0.83%,0.48%,0.48%,0.31%,and 0.53 %,respectively. CONCLUSION:The established method is accurate and it can be applied to the simulta-neous assay of six components.
