RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture on rat model with damp-heat syndrome.MethodsThe combined use of high fat diet,damp-heat environment and infection of bacillus coli was adopted to establish rat models with damp-heat syndrome.A 10-day acupuncture treatment was given to the models.Results Changes can be found in both symptoms and signs of the model rat,which were held to meet the features of damp-heat syndrome.Moreover,abnormity can be found in the expression of the whole blood viscosity [(2.95 ±0.18)、(3.31±0.20)、(9.52±0.53)]mPa ? s,the expression of SOD and MDA of the blood serum and the skin [(4.21 ± 0.3)、(8.51 ± 0.42)]mPa ? s and [( 1.35 ± 0.16)、(1.26 ± 0.20)]mPa ? s.under high,medium and low shear rate.And improvements can be found in the expression of the whole blood viscosity [(2.70± 0.15)、(2.98 ±0.27)、(8.93 ± 0.80)]mPa ? s,the expression of SOD and MDA of the blood serum and the skin [(4.52 ± 0.26)、(7.00 - 0.62)]mPa ? s,[( 1.49 ± 0.12)、( 1.05 ± 0.24)]mPa ? s under high,medium and low shear rate.Conclusion Acupuncture at Yinlingquan (SP9) and Neiting (ST44) can improve the high blood viscosity situation of rat model with damp-heat syndrome,and enhance the ability of the body to eliminate hyperoxide as well.

@#Objective To observe the change of P300(EP) evoked potentials in pre-and-post acupuncture on post-stroke patientsv following depression.Methods According to Hamiltion Rating Scale for Depression(HRS-D),ninty post-stroke patients were divided into two groups: the depression group(n=63) received acupuncture at Ex-HN1 and Siguan Points and the non-depression group(n=31).After assessed and grouped by HRS-D,and one acupuncture therapeutic course for the depression group,two groups' subjects were tested with P300 potentials.Results Before treatment,the latency of P3 of P300 potentials was longer and the amplitude of P3 was lower in the patients of the depression group compared with the cases in the non-depression group;after the acupuncture treatment,the latency of P3 decreased significantly(P<0.01),and the amplitude of P3 increased significantly(P<0.05) in the patients of the depression group.Conclusion P300 potentials test can help find cognitive dysfunction in post-stroke patients following depression at early stage,and acupuncture treatment in time can lessen or eliminate depression motion of post-stroke patients.

@#ObjectiveTo investigate the time characteristics of brain function induced by acupuncture at acupoint of LI4(Hegu).MethodsThe data of functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) induced by acupuncture at acupoint LI4(Hegu) was processed with modified temporal cluster analysis(MTCA) to obtain the time and trend of brain function.ResultsThe stimulation of acupuncture at acupoint LI4 induced the change of brain function,and time curve of brain functional during the acupuncture experiment was obtained.ConclusionThe effect of acupuncture at acupoint LI4(Hegu) on brain function has time characteristics.
