Professor - believes that allergic rhinitis is mainly caused by deficiency of lung-spleen-kidney, combined with the attack of external pathogens, especially wind pathogens, which invade nasal orifices. Thus, three principles are established: syndrome differentiation and treatment, internal and external coherence, strengthening the root to eliminate pathogenic factors. For clinical practice, professor proposes the original acupuncture which takes the conception vessel and governor vessel as the general principles, takes syndrome differentiation as core, and takes regulating and as the major method. This acupuncture method integrates spirit and , bases on verified method and acupoint, combines acupuncture and medication, and achieves satisfactory results.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the impact of "Tongyuan" (regulating the Governor Vessel to tranquilize mental activities, conducting qi back to its origin) acupuncture treatment on cough reflex, pulmonary infection and swallowing function in stroke patients undergoing tracheotomy. METHODS: Seventy-four cerebral stroke patients with tracheo-tomy were randomly allocated to scalp acupuncture and "Tongyuan" acupuncture groups (n=37 in each group). All the patients of the two groups received basic treatment, including treatment of primary diseases, routine nursing, respiratory muscle training, physical therapy, acupuncture of Chize (LU5), Quchi (LI11), Hegu (LI4), Weizhong (BL40), Zusanli (ST36). In addition, for patients of the scalp acupuncture group, the middle 2/5 of Dingnieqianxiexian (MS6), the middle 2/5 of Dingniehouxiexian (MS7) and Dingpangerxian (MS9) on the contralateral side of lesions were punctured with filiform needles. For patients of the "Tongyuan" acupuncture group, Baihui (GV20), Zhongwan (GV12), Guanyuan (CV4), Qihai (CV6), Tianshu (ST25), Feishu (BL13), Pishu (BL20) were needled. The treatment in both groups lasted 30 minutes each time, once daily, 6 times a week for 4 weeks. The cough reflex grading score (CRGS, assessed according to cough, independent expectoration, sputum suction), clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS, assessed according to the body temperature, white blood cell count, airway secretion in 24 h, PaO2/FiO2, infiltration status, cultured pathogenic bacteria), and swallowing function were evaluated by a researcher who was blinded to the grouping and treatment procedures. The success rate of extubation was calculated in a week at the end of treatments. RESULTS: After the treatment, the CRGS and CPIS of both groups were apparently decreased in comparison with their own pre-treatment (P<0.05), suggesting an improvement of the cough reflex and pulmonary infection. Regarding the swallowing function, of the two 37 cases in the scalp acupuncture and "Tongyuan" acupuncture groups, 9(24.3%) and 19(51.4%) experienced marked improvement, 12(32.5%)and 14(37.8%) were effective, and 16(43.2%) and 4(10.8%)failed in the treatment, with the effective rate being 56.8% and 89.2%, respectively. In regard to the successful extubation, of the two 37 cases in the scalp acupuncture and "Tongyuan" acupuncture groups, 5(13.5%) and 11(29.8%)had a marked improvement, 10(27.0%)and 18(48.6%)were effective, and 22(59.5%)and 8(21.6%)failed, with the effective rate being 40.5% and 78.4%, respectively. The therapeutic effect of "Tongyuan" acupuncture was significantly superior to that of scalp acupuncture in decreasing CRGS and CPIS, and in improving the swallowing function and raising the rate of successful extubation (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: "Tongyuan" acupuncture treatment can improve cough reflex to remove sputum, reduce pulmonary infection, enhance swallowing function, and raise the success rate of extubation in stroke patients, which is better than scalp acupuncture.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Tongyuan acupuncture therapy on theplatelet activation index in patients with Qi stagnation and blood stasis type during the recovery period of cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 90 cerebral infarction patients with Qi deficiency and blood stasis were admitted in the acupuncture rehabilitation department of Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Longgang District during April 2017 to December 2017 and were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, each of 45 cases. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine therapy, while the treatment group were treated with Tongyuan acupuncture therapy with the convetional therapy. The Barthel index, NIHSS score and PAF, PAC-1 content were determined and compared before and after treatment in the two groups, meanwhile, the clinical efficacy were staticsed and compared between the two groups. Results The differences of Barthel index (9.5 ± 4.3 vs. 5.6 ± 2.4, t=5.312), the NIHSS score (3.2 ± 0.8 vs. 1.5 ± 0.7, t=10.728) in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the PAC-1 (5.51% ± 1.27% vs. 6.45% ± 1.66%, t=3.067), PAF (157.02 ± 18.22 pg/ml vs. 165.81 ± 17.65 pg/ml, t=2.324) in the treatment group was significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The curative rate (66.6% vs. 35.6%, χ2=13.611) and the total effective rate (95.6% vs. 64.4%, χ2=8.715) in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The Tongyuan acupuncture treatment showed the significant curative effect on cerebral infarction qi deficiency and blood stasis patients during the recovery period , and it can improve the ability of daily life, reduce the degree of nerve function defect and the degree of platelet activation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Lai's acupuncture therapy combined with Chinese herbal decoction for the treatment of infertility with ovulatory dysfunction, and to summarize the experience of Professor Lai Xin-Sheng in treating infertility. Methods Ninety-six infertility patients with ovulatory dysfunction were randomized into treatment group and control group, 48 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with Lai's Tongyuan acupuncture therapy for regulating Governor Vessel to tranquilize mind, inducing meridian Qi to original Qi, and was also given oral use of Chinese herbal decoction of Lai's Yiyun Recipe for promoting gestation. The control group was treated with Chinese herbal decoction alone. The treatment began exactly after the completion of menstruation period and lasted 15 days for one treatment course, covering 3 courses. And then the patients of the two groups were followed-up for 3 months. Therapeutic effect and pregnancy rate were evaluated after treatment, serum levels of estradiol and progesterone were examined, and abdominal ultrasonography was used for monitoring the maximum diameter of the dominant follicles and endometrial thickness before and after treatment. Results (1) Three cases from the treatment group and 5 cases from the control group were dropped out, and the final case number in the treatment group and control group was 45, 43 respectively. (2) The total efficiency of the treatment group was 88.9％, and that of the control group was 81.4％. The effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). (3) The pregnancy rate of the treatment group was 73.3％, higher than that of the control group (51.2％), the difference being significant (P < 0.05). (4) After treatment, the maximum diameter of the dominant follicles and endometrial thickness in the two groups were obviously improved(P < 0.05 compared with those before treatment), and the improvement in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group (P < 0.05). (5) After treatment, the serum levels of estradiol and progesterone in the two groups were obviously improved(P < 0.05 compared with those before treatment) , and the improvement in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group(P < 0.05). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of Lai's acupuncture therapy combined with Chinese herbal decoction is superior to that of Chinese herbal decoction alone, showing an obvious synergistic effect by shortening the course of treatment and enhancing pregnancy rate.
ABSTRACT
In the treatment of premature ovarian failure (POF), professorfocuses on the determination of syndrome to seek for etiology, associating with the differentiation of meridian and collateral and that oforgans. Professorbelieves that POF is mainly manifested as amenorrhea and infertility, localized in the kidney, with the dysfunction of liver, spleen and heart. It is impacted by many pathological factors, such as cold blockage,stagnation, blood stagnation, blood deficiency,deficiency, etc., which leads to the damage of the thoroughfare vessel and the conception vessel and the blockage of menstrual flow. On the basis of four diagnostic Methods and syndrome differentiation, there are four common syndromes of POF, namedand blood deficiency,and blood stagnation, liver and kidney deficiency anddeficiency of spleen and kidney.acupuncture technique is summarized by Professoron the basis oftheory. It is an effective and scientific method for acupoint selection along the meridians. The acupoints on the back, communicating with the governor vessel and mind regulation, acting on the brain are selected to promoteof the governor vessel. The back-points of fiveorgans are selected to regulate the functions of internal organs. The acupoints on the abdomen and the conception vessel are selected to conduceto the primary so as to improve reproductive function. In the guidance ofacupuncture technique, the acupoint prescription is formed and the Chinese herbal medicines are selected in combination to improve ovarian function and regulate menstruation. Hence, the satisfactory therapeutic effects have been achieved.
